Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Fang, was silent for a while, and said, "There should be no problem." ”

Zhou Qingli entered the palace with King Xin and learned a lot of things.

Huang Liji, as the first assistant, is still very responsible at this time. It was he who welcomed King Xin into the palace, and it was also the edict of the apocalypse that he drafted, and in a series of major matters, he completely excluded Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian's power comes from the indulgence of the apocalypse, and without the support of the apocalypse, he can't help Huang Liji.

Coupled with the British Duke on his side, Wei Zhongxian has not been able to set off any storms from beginning to end.

Zhou Fang nodded thoughtfully.

Zhou Qingli glanced at the two brothers and said, "I still have to go to the palace later, there are still a lot of things to do, I don't think I will be able to come back in the next few days, don't worry." ”

Zhou Zheng knew that there were too many things to do below, such as the funeral of the apocalypse, the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor, the change of the yuan, the era name, and so on.

Zhou Fang looked at Zhou Qingli and said, "Dad, is there anything I can do?" ”

Zhou Qingli glanced at Zhou Zheng, pondered for a moment, and said, "You go with me to the palace." ”

Zhou Zheng frowned slightly, and immediately let go.

Father Zhou's arrangement obviously has deep meaning, although Zhou Zheng didn't agree with it in his heart, he didn't stop it.

This is an opportunity for the Zhou family.

From the dragon's skill, the Zhou family may be about to soar into the sky!

Zhou Fang was pleasantly surprised and said, "It's Dad!" ”

Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng again, as if he was worried that his heart was unbalanced, and said, "I remember the matter of your going to Yongping Mansion, and I will find a way for you." ”

Zhou Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Don't be in a hurry, I'll tell my father when I see the opportunity." ”

Zhou Qingli saw that Zhou Zheng was not dissatisfied, nodded slightly, and said, "Now that you have been dismissed, stay in the mansion with peace of mind, and don't move again." ”

Zhou Zheng hummed and said, "I know." ”

Next, there will be a period of calm in the court, and this calm comes from the courtiers' ignorance of the new emperor, and many things and contradictions will be suppressed for the time being.

This is a process of testing each other, the courtiers are testing the new emperor, and the new emperor is observing the courtiers, if there is no accident, there will be no big things in the next half a month.

Zhou Zheng looked at Zhou Qingli, and wanted to ask him what official position Zhu Youzhen had arranged for him, but after thinking about it, he still didn't ask.

Zhou Qingli didn't stay long, and left in a hurry to go to the palace.

As a result, as soon as Zhou Qingli left, someone came to the door on the back foot.

This is one of the six subjects, and he and Zhou Qingli have been colleagues and friends for many years.

I still have a lot of things in my hand, and I came with an enthusiastic face.

Zhou Fang, who received it as the eldest son, originally thought it was just an ordinary visit, but soon another group of people came.

Even if Zhou Fang reacted sluggishly, he came to his senses, ran to Zhou Zheng's study and said, "What should I do?" ”

Zhou Zheng knew that Zhou Qingli was now in and out of the Xinwang Mansion, that is, the new emperor's close ministers, who were about to soar, sharp-eyed people, where would they let go of this opportunity.

Zhou Zheng said directly: "Closed to the guests, no one will see you." ”

Zhou Fang's face hesitated, and said, "Wouldn't it be good, Dad hasn't been promoted yet?" ”

Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "If you don't close the house now, your father won't have to be promoted." ”

Zhou Fang suddenly understood, and said, "Okay, I'll go now." ”

Even if Zhou Fang closed the front and back doors and closed the house to thank guests, someone could still find a way to infiltrate Zhou's house.

For example, the in-laws of the Zhou family, the Ding family came, not that they also came, but they were asked to refuse.

Then, it was Zhou Zheng's business relations who blocked Zhou Ji and Zhou's tooth shop.

Then, some of Zhou Zheng's friends, who didn't come, asked someone to deliver the letter in.

Zhou Fang's friends are even more, and there are thousands of ways and methods.

Zhou Zheng was in the study, listening to the movement outside, while reading and practicing calligraphy quietly.

In the evening, the front of the Zhou family still does not stop, and I don't know how many people want to go to the relationship.

Liu Liuzhen came in over the wall, with the pastries that Zhou Zheng liked to eat, and the two of them were in front of Zhou Zheng's small table, eating and talking about things.

Liu Liuzhen said: "Second young master, there is too much news outside, and I can't tell the difference." It is said that Master Li Guopu Li is going to be crowned a scholar of Dongkaku University. ”

This is actually what it means to enter the cabinet.

Zhou Zheng was not surprised that Li Guopu, who was still Zhan Shi of Zhan Shi Mansion a month ago, entered the cabinet in a blink of an eye.

Others don't know, but Zhou Zheng knows that it won't be long before this person will become the first assistant.

Because Chongzhen has no one else in his hands at present, he can only push Li Guopu up.

Liu Liuzhen took a bite of the pastry, and then said: "It is said that it will be changed next year, and a few have been selected by the Hanlin Academy, and the emperor seems to have chosen 'Chongzhen'." ”

Zhou Zheng hummed, picked up the teacup, and thought about it.

'Chongzhen' is not only Zhu Youzhen's high requirements for morality, but also the implication of 'revitalization', and his ambition has been exposed.

Liu Liuzhen saw Zhou Zheng thinking, waited for him to put down the teacup and said: "I heard that Lord Ercao of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has not left Beijing, and it is rumored that they are also going to enter the cabinet." ”

Zhou Zheng shook his head, these are nonsense, anyone who is a eunuch, even if he does not die, will no longer have a chance to gain a foothold in the court.

Liu Liuzhen couldn't tell the truth from the false, and after talking for a while, he said, "By the way, Second Young Master, the shopkeeper of ten thousand came to me again." ”

"Thousands of trees?" Zhou Zhengdao.

Liu Liuzhen said: "Well, he said that he wanted to invite the second young master to have a drink, and a few people accompanied him." ”

The corners of Zhou Zheng's mouth hooked up a sneer, he still remembered the arrogance of He Qihui that day, especially the handcuffs in the hands of Daddy Zhou and others.

Father Zhou is now a close minister of the new emperor, and the salt merchant must have known that he is afraid!

Zhou Zheng got up, took out an account book from the study, handed it to Liu Liuzhen and said, "This is our last loss bill, if Wan Qianzhen comes again, you will hand it over to him." ”

Liu Liuzhen was stunned, took it, flipped it over, and suddenly his eyes widened, and said, "Second young master, one million taels?" ”

Zhou Zheng took the pastry casually and said, "The opportunity is rare, knock hard." ”

At this time, that is, the situation is not clear, and after a period of time, the situation will be stable, and it will not be so easy to blackmail.

Seeing that the Zhou family has the merit of the dragon, this group of salt merchants is accustomed to looking at the wind and making the rudder, this million, he is willing to come out, he is not willing to come out, Zhou Zheng also has a way to force them out!

Liu Liuzhen blinked, still unable to believe it.

A million taels, how much silver this is, he can't even imagine.

Zhou Zhengdao: "You have arranged all the people I asked you to sponsor before?" ”

Liu Liuzhen hurriedly said: "It's arranged, it's all in the name of our weekly diary, two taels of silver per person per month." ”

Zhou Zheng hummed, took the pastry in his hand, and was still wandering the names of several people in his heart, and said secretly, "While the situation is unclear, we have to arrange them." ’

"Second Young Master." Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Liu Liuzhen glanced at Zhou Zheng and got up to open the door.

It didn't take long for him to immediately turn his head and whisper to Zhou Zheng: "Second Young Master, someone came to look for you, Xiao Qi said, that person only said the word 'real'." ”

Li Shi!

Zhou Zheng's brows jumped slightly, he thought for a while, and said, "Follow me." ”
