Yang Sichang didn't look at Zhou Zheng and was dragged away by Jinyiwei, which attracted a side-eyed look in the palace.

This Yang Ge Lao has been high-spirited recently, with great power in his hands, and the saint is rumbling, it has only been a few days?

Zhou Zheng didn't have any relatives, his eyes kept staring at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, and he was constantly analyzing the countermeasures in his heart.

Such a big thing happened, Chongzhen's mind is very unpredictable, it is related to the great cause of suppressing bandits in the northwest, what kind of decision will the courtiers and Chongzhen make?

After a while, the ministers and scholars came out one after another, looking at Zhou Zheng, who was erected, no one spoke, and left straight away with their own expressions.

Zhou Zheng saw that Zhang Zhifa, the first assistant, did not come out, and looked pensive, perhaps, the palace has not made a decision yet?

At this moment, Wang Chengen came out, looked at Zhou Zheng, looked at Zhou Zheng with a smile on his face, and said, "Zhou Shilang, long live the summons." ”

Zhou Zheng raised his hand and said, "There is labor." ”

Wang Chengen looked at Zhou Zheng, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it, and led Zhou Zheng towards the palace gate.

In the Dongnuan Pavilion, Chongzhen sat at the imperial table, and the first assistant Zhang Zhifa stood aside.

Zhou Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward calmly, raised his hand, and said, "Minister Zhou Zheng sees Your Majesty." ”

Chongzhen doesn't like Zhou Zheng very much, he is not intimate with him, he is not the type he likes, but if he doesn't like it now, he has to pull it out.

Chongzhen's face was still very ugly, and he looked at Zhou Zheng and said in an unkind tone: "You have heard about everything, what do you think should be done?" ”

Zhou Zheng stood still, glanced at Zhang Zhifa, who was standing aside, the old monk was calm, and said without thinking: "Your Majesty, there is no problem with Yang Shangshu's strategy. Our DPRK has mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to suppress bandits, and the Jianjiao is a big threat that must be appeased. ”

Zhang Zhifa opened his eyes violently and looked at Zhou Zheng, his cloudy eyes were shocked.

Is this week just crazy? Didn't you see that Yang Sichang had just been imprisoned? Could it be that he is also a man of the Lord and of peace?

Zhang Zhifa furrowed his brows and looked at Chongzhen, to his surprise, Chongzhen's ugly look was actually slightly relieved.

Chongzhen listened to Zhou Zheng's words, and felt a little comforted in his heart, a stiff smile appeared on his face, which disappeared in an instant, and said coldly: "I am a dignified Heavenly Empire, how can I make peace with the barbarians!" What I ask you is, what do you think should be done in the 'ten-sided net' in the northwest? ”

Zhou Zheng pretended to think for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, Chen Shilang in the northwest is also involved, and the prime minister is only Xiong Wencan left, and he can't command such a large-scale anti-bandit operation. Xiong Wencan is in charge of the northwest, and Lu Xiangsheng is in charge of the southeast, and continue to promote the 'ten-sided net', completely eradicate the northwest and stabilize the ...... of our Daming Society."

"No!"

Before Zhou Zheng finished speaking, Zhang Zhifa interrupted categorically, turned to Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, Lu Xiangsheng is a traitorous villain, if he is reinstated again, where is the face of the court, and where is the system?" When the minister heard Zhou Shilang's words, it seemed that he still wanted to negotiate peace with Jianyu? This is something that the foreign ministers will never agree with, please think twice! ”

Zhou Zheng immediately retorted and said, "Your Majesty, Lu Xiangsheng's matter has not yet been investigated, and the grievances may be even greater. As for the peace talks, if the minister goes to the peace talks, dare to ask Yuanfu, does Jianyu dare to agree? ”

Zhang Zhifa was about to scold, but suddenly he couldn't say it again.

The Ming Dynasty sent people to talk, and anyone could do it, but Zhou Zheng was an exception.

Zhou Zheng beheaded Huangtaiji's eldest son Haoge under the city of Beijing, killed countless Jianguo in Liaodong, and killed Yue Tuo, Azigbel and others in Lushun.

Chongzhen listened to Zhou Zheng's words, the doubts in his heart disappeared, ignored Zhang Zhifa, and asked Zhou Zhengdao: "Zhou Aiqing, continue." ”

The corners of Zhang Zhifa's mouth moved, and seeing that Chongzhen ignored him, he could only frown and continue to stand on the side.

Zhou Zheng raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the 'ten-sided net' has begun, and it is absolutely impossible to give up!" Please continue to advance, the minister is willing to vouch for Lu Xiangsheng with his life, and go to the northwest to suppress bandits, if he fails, he will never return to Beijing! ”

Chongzhen's expression was relaxed, he nodded with a smile, and said, "Zhou Aiqing can go to the northwest, I am the most relieved." I gave Aiqing the sword of Shangfang, controlled the armies in the northwest, and hoped that Aiqing would be like a thief who captured the bandits, exterminate the bandits, and protect my Daming Sheji! ”

Zhou Zheng raised his hand without moving, and said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Zhang Zhi wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he still didn't speak.

In fact, asking Zhou Zheng to go to the northwest to lead the troops is something that the ministers discussed just now, after all, Da Ming really can't find a few people who can fight well, especially those who command hundreds of thousands of troops.

Sun Chengzong can, but the boss vows not to be out. The others have their own difficulties, ability, qualifications, and official positions are sufficient, and only Zhou Zheng, the right attendant of the military department.

Chongzhen got up, pulled Zhou Zheng to the side hall, and rarely had a meal with Zhou Zheng, while asking about various things in the military department and the northwest.

Zhou Zheng became more and more cautious, and answered carefully and carefully.

Zhou Zheng is extremely familiar with various affairs, handy, maybe Chongzhen asked him to suppress bandits, Chongzhen was very satisfied with his answer, praised from time to time, asked a few words, 'Aiqing' also became 'Qing'.

Zhang Zhifa was by the side, the new first assistant who had just taken office, was actually like a spectator.

After eating, Zhou Zheng was left by Chongzhen for half an hour before leaving the Qianqing Palace.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the Qianqing Palace, Zhang Zhifa caught up and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Zhengyun, I don't care what you and Yang Sichang want to do, if you dare to mess around, don't blame the official for being polite!" ”

Zhou Zheng was very energetic to deal with Chongzhen, but he didn't want to deal with this Shoufu anymore, so he had to raise his hand and said, "Yuanfu rest assured, Xia Guan is not the master and the person." ”

Zhang Zhi snorted coldly and said, "It's best to be like this, if I get caught, Yang Sichang will be your end!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Zhifa flicked his sleeves and strode away.

Zhou Zheng looked at his back, let out a long breath, and strolled away from the Qianqing Palace.

He has not yet returned to the military department, and the will of the Qianqing Palace has even been revealed.

Yang Sichang was imprisoned on charges of 'unauthorized power' and 'making peace with the captives', and ordered the three divisions to investigate thoroughly. At the same time, Chen Xinjia, the left attendant, and many officials from the military department and Honglu Temple were also implicated.

Not long after Zhou Zheng sat down, the holy decree arrived again.

It is roughly to promote Zhou Zheng to the secretary of the military department, add the title of prince and Taibao, hold the sword of Shangfang, control the armies in the northwest, and take charge of the suppression of bandits in the northwest.

It stands to reason that this is a promotion, it should be celebrated by the whole world, and countless people come to talk to him, but Zhou Zheng is at the end of the military department, except for the officials of the military department, there is no one else.

Presiding over the suppression of bandits in the northwest, in the eyes of many people, this is not a good errand, but a death!

Zhou Zheng didn't care about this, and with his identity, he began to issue orders one after another in the name of the military department, spreading to the capital and the northwest.

The huge energy surrounding Zhou Zheng also operated rapidly, and a force was converging, threatening to the northwest.
