Chapter Ninety-Five: Revenge Comes Quickly
Tian Zhenshu and Zheng Shouli were very emotional, this was the only 'victory' they had achieved in recent years!
The two were enthusiastic, pulling Zhou Zheng to drink, telling about the depression and resentment over the years.
After rising for a while, Tian Zhenshu began to be depressed again, shook his head and sighed: "Brother Zhou, you don't know, although the emperor allowed the 'Sect Restriction Law' that I played, but it was not implemented at all, and more than half of the money and grain in my Ming treasury were given to the clan every year, and the honorable ministers ......"
Zheng Shouli was even more indignant, and said: "The money and food in the treasury are decreasing day by day, but the nobles of the clan are increasing, do you know, King Rui imitated the former system, and it took 40,000 hectares of land to divide, and there was no land to divide in Shaanxi and Sichuan, and Huguang, Jiangxi and other places were to gather...... Also, King Xin is an adult, and he will be married next year, and he will be in the country in two years......
Zhou Zheng drank wine, listened to the two pour bitter water, and also shook his head secretly.
The problem of Daming is not one or two places, it is a problem everywhere, which requires fundamental innovation. However, there is no power of innovation in the Ming Dynasty, and they want to 'restore the ancestral system and prosper the Ming Dynasty', or they don't want to do anything, as long as they are powerful!
The bitter water of the two was more than a little bit, pulling Zhou Zheng and talking constantly, and the wine was poured into his mouth one by one.
Zhou Zheng doesn't like to drink very much, so he just accompanies and listens, and occasionally interjects.
The two of them have been in the court for many years, and they are supervising the imperial history, and they have a deep understanding of the situation of the court and all aspects of the government, but they have told Zhou Zheng a lot of things that he has never understood.
I don't know how long it took, Tian Zhenshu finally stopped talking, her face was red and her neck was thick, and her eyes were wide open, but she said very soberly: "Zhengyun, Li Hengbing, you have to be careful, he is your official again." In addition, after today, trouble is coming, you ...... Hold on. ”
The pressure brought by the Ming Dynasty is unimaginable to outsiders, in the past ten years, the first assistant, the change of officials in various ministries and halls, a small thing is enough to make a cabinet old man ruined, the head is different, who is not frightened?
What's more, Zhou Zheng, who has just stepped into the official career, is a seven-grade official.
Zhou Zheng already had a premonition on the Jinluan Palace, and when he heard this, he just nodded lightly and said, "Hmm." ”
Zheng Shouli had already drunk too much, shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal, isn't it just a bad life?" I don't need them to catch me, I eat some arsenic at home, no matter how bad it is, I will commit suicide by throwing myself into the lake, and I will not be humiliated! ”
Zhou Zheng glanced at him, knowing that it was drunk and angry, and he didn't take it seriously, picked up the wine glass, and thought silently in his heart.
This time, he offended the two major friends of the government and the opposition, and sabotaged their attempt to rescue Wang Huazhen, perhaps, many people are now thinking about how to deal with him.
"It's snowing."
Suddenly, I don't know who said it.
Zhou Zheng, Tian Zhenshu, and Zheng Shouli turned their heads to look, and sure enough, there was goose feather snow floating outside the window, which was quite dense.
But I don't know if it was because I drank wine or what, Zhou Zheng and the three of them didn't feel how cold.
Tian Zhenshu's big eyes flashed with a faint look of helplessness, and he sighed: "It's snowing again, this time last year, I watched Sun Ge Lao leave Beijing, and I don't know who it will be this year." ”
Zhou Zheng could feel the depression in the hearts of Tian Zhenshu and Zheng Shouli, thinking about the changes next year, his eyes were beating slightly, he drank a glass of wine fiercely, and said, "We are not without opportunities." ”
Tian Zhenshu turned his head, looked at Zhou Zheng, sighed, and said, "Where is there any chance, this time, even if we don't have a prison sentence, we have to go back to our hometown......"
Zhou Zheng knew that this matter had to be taken slowly, and quietly plotted, so he didn't say much.
At this time, the footsteps at the staircase suddenly sounded, Liu Liuzhen hurriedly ran up, entered the box, glanced at the people present, and went behind Zhou Zheng, and said in a low voice: "Second young master, Cheng Economy has been arrested." ”
Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows and said to himself: "It's so fast, who did it?" ”
Liu Liuzhe's face was condensed, and he said: "The people who saw it said that it was the official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. ”
Tian Zhenshu and Zheng Shouli also heard it, and they woke up a lot, Tian Zhenshu's copper bell opened her eyes wide, and sneered: "It must have been done by Li Hengbing, this person used to be a stern gentleman, but I didn't expect to be a sanctimonious hypocrite!" ”
Zheng Shouli stood up directly and said, "I'll do this matter, I want to see who came to deal with us so quickly!" ”
Tian Zhenshu was more calm, looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "No matter what, let's go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate first." ”
Zhou Zheng thought for a while and said, "Let's go." ”
Liu Liuzhen already knew about Zhou Zheng, he was very worried, and his face was even more so, he followed behind Zhou Zheng and said in a low voice: "Second young master, the master wants you to go back as soon as possible, and there are ......"
Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "I'll talk about it when I go back in the evening." ”
Liu Liuzhen had no choice but to stop talking and follow Zhou Zheng and the others to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
As soon as he arrived at the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yao Tongshun was already waiting at the door, and when he saw the three of them, he hurriedly came over and said anxiously: "My lord, you have an official document just now, and you are going to be suspended." ”
Tian Zhen raised her eyebrows, turned her head sideways and said to Zhou Zheng: "Let's not talk about this first, let's fish people out and talk about it." ”
Zhou Zheng took a deep breath, there was a cold color on his face, he knew that there would be revenge, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly!
"Let's go." Zhou Zheng walked straight inside, not to Zhejiang Road, to the Prison Division.
Those arrested by the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be imprisoned in the Prison Division.
Zhou Zheng and a few people walked towards the prison department, many people watched in the past, and when they saw Zhou Zheng, Tian Zhenshu, and Zheng Shouli, they avoided like snakes and scorpions, let alone approaching, and hurriedly avoided without daring to say hello.
Zhou Zheng came to the prison of the prison department, but there was no obstacle and went straight in.
The prison of the prison department is relatively simple, more 'temporary', and the jailer leads the three of them to a cell, where there is a man who looks like a royal historian, teaching a lesson in the prison.
This is a very tall, very fat middle-aged man, he put his hands behind his back, facing the cell, and said coldly: "Cheng Economy, let me tell you, Zhou Zheng is finished, you honestly explain, how much cheap business he operates, how much net worth, how many friends, honestly explain, I can still give you a good end, otherwise, I will let you die in front of him!" ”
Zhou Zheng's eyes were cold, he took a step forward, and said, "When will I die?" ”
Cheng Economy heard this voice inside, jumped up directly, ran to the railing, grabbed the railing, and looked at Zhou Zheng with his head poked out, with a look of hope, but did not speak.
The big fat man was stunned, turned his head, looked at Zhou Zheng's official uniform, lowered his head, looked down at Zhou Zheng, and sneered: "You are Zhou Zheng?" Don't you know that you've been suspended? ”
Zhou Zheng looked at this person's official uniform, and it was clear that he was an alternate, that is, the alternate of the Thirteen Dao Inspectors.
Zhou Zheng put his hands behind his back and said lightly, "I am suspended and your Shangguan, how did you meet Shangguan?" I can now convict you of a charge of contempt and imprison you. ”
The big fat man raised his head and raised his chest, but lowered his eyes, looked at Zhou Zheng with contempt, and sneered: "Shut me up? It's up to you to deserve it! To tell you the truth, I don't care about this dog thing at all, I catch him to lure you here, and when you come, don't want to go out, come here! ”
As soon as the big fat man's voice fell, seven or eight officials immediately poured out on both sides of the cell, surrounding Zhou Zheng and the others!
