Chapter 455: Cao Wenzhao is imprisoned

When Zhou Zheng was taking care of the children at home, various things happened one after another in the government and the opposition.

Especially Ruan Dacheng, I don't know if this person has a good fate, or if Song Zhi will be lucky.

Because there are too many internal prisons in the palace, with the intention of 'prison', they have caused all kinds of disasters in various places, but the local authorities are still incapable of jurisdiction, so they can only be impeached. Chongzhen often believed in internal prisons rather than civil officials, and the contradictions became increasingly intensified.

At this time, Song Zhihui wrote to Chongzhen, admonishing that 'the harm of the ministers is better than poison', and a group of officials followed suit.

This angered Chongzhen, it was useless to save Wen Tiren, and Song Zhihui was directly deposed as a citizen and would never be used.

As a result, Ruan Dacheng can be regarded as fulfilling his promise in front of Zhou and submitting a perfect vote.

It's March, Zhou Zheng is holding Xiao Deshen in his arms, lying on a rocking chair, lazily basking in the sun.

The little guy pursed the corners of his mouth from time to time, and slept very sweetly.

Shangguan Qing has said I don't know how many times Zhou Zheng has said this way of taking care of children, Zhou Zheng has repeatedly taught her, she is too lazy to say, and she doesn't see it if she sees it.

Liu Liuzhen sneaked in from outside, glanced at the room, and whispered in Zhou Zheng's ear: "Second young master? ”

Zhou Zheng looked up at the little guy in his arms, saw that he was still asleep, turned his head to look at Liu Liuzhe, and said in a low voice: "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Liuzhen hurriedly approached and said in a lower voice: "Ruan Dacheng's affairs have been arranged, and 30,000 taels of silver will be dredged." ”

Zhou Zheng lay down again and nodded slightly.

Ruan Dacheng's matter is not only silver, Zhou Zheng also used a lot of connections. After all, Ruan Dacheng was once a eunuch and a person who had registered in Chongzhen.

There are actually some deep-seated reasons for this resurgence.

That is, as the Donglin Party became more and more disliked by Chongzhen, some voices for the eunuch party to overturn the case gradually became louder, and before Ruan Dacheng, many eunuchs were reinstated.

This pile of people can't do it, and no matter how garbage that pile of people is, Chongzhen has to try.

Zhou Zheng staggered for a while before he said, "Well, find someone to keep an eye on him." ”

It was the first time for Liu Liuzhen to see Zhou Zheng so lazy, he glanced at the little second young master, and then leaned in and whispered, "Yes." Regarding the operation of Ma Shiying to go to Denglai Governor, there is some resistance, it seems that Ouyang Sheng, the governor of Liaodong, wrote a letter to oppose it. ”

Zhou Zheng opened his eyes, looked at the warm sun, nodded and said: "Ouyang Sheng is more than successful, not enterprising, now such a good opportunity, he is actually trapped in Liaodong...... It's time to change his position. Isn't the governor of Shandong still vacant? Then use a little silver to dot the relationship below, and the relationship above, I will operate. ”

Liu Liuzhen listened and hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll arrange it later." ”

Zhou Zheng glanced at him again and said, "Biqing is about to give birth, it's okay to go out and run less, nothing is more important than family." ”

Liu Liuzhen suddenly smiled when he heard this, and said, "Second Young Master, I wrote it down." ”

Zhou Zheng waved his hand gently, hugged the little guy in his arms, and continued to nap.

After Liu Liuzhen finished speaking, he quietly left.

Although Zhou Zheng closed his eyes, he was still thinking in his heart.

Yongping Mansion is his eldest brother Zhou Fang, Tianjin Wei is Cao Bianjiao, and Hejian Mansion is Hu Qingzheng, all of whom are his people, and they are all continuing his reforms.

Dengzhou Mansion and Laizhou Mansion are in ruins, but they are also a virgin land that is extremely suitable for reform, and it is such an important place that naturally cannot fall into the hands of others.

Ma Shiying is four products, and the governor of Denglai is appropriate.

Sun Chuanting is now in Dengzhou Mansion and has been familiar with Zhou Zheng's reform strategy, if Ma Shiying is in charge of Denglai and Sun Chuanting assists, it will naturally be the best state.

Money plus relationships, in the current Ming Dynasty, is almost invincible. Zhou Zheng was put into operation, and although it took some time, in mid-May, Ma Shiying still succeeded in becoming the governor of Denglai.

Governor Denglai was originally a very important position, and it was really not easy for ordinary people to grab it. However, as Jianyu was hit hard one after another, and he was no longer able to invade the south, the weight of the governor of Denglai dropped rapidly, and this was the opportunity.

Ma Shiying went to Denglai, and Zhou Zheng was naturally very comfortable. At home, he frequently intervened in Denglai, Dongjiang Town, Yongping Mansion, Hejian Mansion, Tianjin Wei, etc., constantly promoting his reform and stabilizing his basic market.

In addition to government affairs, acres of land, commercial taxes and other actions, especially the 'reserve', Zhou Zheng never relaxed, constantly training, retirement, to ensure a sufficient supply of soldiers.

Sun Chuanting has not been in contact with government affairs for a long time, looking at the various government affairs that Zhou Zheng had drawn up a few years ago, as well as the reform achievements of Hejian Mansion and Yongping Mansion, he was naturally quite shocked.

Zhou Zheng was busy, and the court was not idle.

Chen Qiyu was deceived by Li Zicheng near Guanzhong, and then lost a series of battles, and the bandits took the opportunity to capture seven or eight prefectures and counties in Guanzhong, and Guanzhong was shaken. The officials and the governors of Shaanxi and Sichuan were impeached each other.

In less than June, Chen Qiyu was dismissed, recalled to Beijing, and Hong Chengchou succeeded him as the governor of the five provinces, the prime minister of the military affairs of the five provinces, and supervised the bandits.

When Hong Chengchou was busy dealing with the bandits in the five provinces, the Mongolian Chahar Department, which had disappeared for a long time, suddenly entered the customs from Dayukou, shocking the government and the opposition.

Cao Wenzhao was urgently transferred to the guards, because the time was too late, and he didn't arrive and even lost several cities. Hong Chengchou sent troops to reinforce, and Chahar looted for three days and retreated.

Cao Wenzhao was impeached by the officials, and the other armies shirked their responsibilities, and Cao Wenzhao was imprisoned alone.

Although Cao Wenzhao was a fierce general, he was not very prominent in the Ming Dynasty, he was imprisoned, except for a few people to plead and plead, almost no powerful people came forward.

However, Cao Bianjiao of Tianjin Wei heard that his uncle was imprisoned, and rushed into Beijing overnight and came to the Zhou Mansion.

Cao Bianjiao was in the dust, obviously rushing overnight, not sleeping for a moment, as soon as he entered Zhou Zheng's study, he knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice: "My lord, for the sake of the last general to follow the adults for several years, please also ask the adults to take action to save the uncle!" ”

Zhou Zheng had already anticipated Cao Bianjiao's intentions, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said, "I have never treated you to outsiders, no need to be like this, sit down and say." ”

Cao Bianjiao also had no other way, so he stood up when he listened, red-eyed, and sat at the small table with Zhou Zheng on the side.

Zhou Zheng poured him a cup of tea and said, "I already know, you take a sip of tea first and listen to me." ”

Cao Bianjiao was very panicked now, reluctantly took a sip of tea, and looked at Zhou Zheng with wide eyes.

Zhou Zheng didn't hide it, and said straightforwardly: "General Cao has made a lot of military achievements, and this loss is not all his responsibility." It stands to reason that you should not be punished like this, but you should know that the imperial court is not a place to reason, and if you don't talk far, I am a lesson from the past. ”

Cao Bianjiao looked panicked, opened his mouth and said, "My lord, my uncle ......"

Zhou Zhengyi waved his hand and said, "It's not that it can't be saved." Even if the court deals with it according to the law, it will not be a decision, most of it will be a border guard, I spend some silver, and there is no problem in redeeming him. The problem is that if the imperial court wants him to make meritorious deeds, then the problem is big. ”

Cao Bianjiao was a little confused, and said, "Isn't it good?" Why is this a big problem? ”
