Chen Yan doesn't care about anything now, so he wants to leave quickly.

Listening to Gao Hongtu's words, he didn't squeak as a household scholar, anyway, he didn't have to worry about the rest of the matter.

Others, although they find it outrageous, are not suitable for talking.

Daming officialdom is like this, whenever it is troublesome, it can be pushed, especially upward.

Zhou Yanru felt the gaze of nothingness, the corners of his face were stiff, he looked at Gao Hongtu, and said lightly: "This matter will be discussed later." The Sansi Yamen will conclude the trial of the 'Jinluan Palace's assassination as soon as possible, and show it to me, without my permission, it will not be sentenced! ”

'The trial is concluded', that is, to get the file of the guilty plea, estimate how to sentence it, and wait for the cabinet to nod, and then make the verdict public, go through a process, and show it to the world.

Ma Shiying, Kou Huaiyi, and Li Hengbing pretended to lean over, but did not answer.

Zhou Yanru didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, so he stood up after setting this tone, and said: "The capital is in ruins, the summer grain must be collected as soon as possible, the northwest needs a lot of money and grain for disaster relief, and we have too many things to do, so we can't delay." ”

More than 20 people stood up in unison, raised their hands and said, "The lower official obeys the order!" ”

At the end of the cabinet, Zhou Zheng's carriage also entered the city and slowly drove towards the Zhou mansion.

Xiao Ke'er slept full, rubbed her eyes, and looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "Dad, ...... hungry"

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Don't learn from your eldest brother, you will be disgusted by your mother." ”

Shangguan Qing glared at him, hugged Xiao Ke'er over, and said softly, "I'll be back home soon." ”

The little guy was still a little confused, oh.

Zhou Zheng returned to the Zhou Mansion, Sun Chuanting, Gao Hongtu, Zhang Heyi, Kou Huaiyi and others were already waiting.

Zhou Zheng settled Shangguan Qing and Xiao Ke'er, and then came to the remote place.

Zhang Heyi and the others talked about what happened in the cabinet just now, and commented on everyone's reactions from time to time.

Kou Huai pondered and said, "My lord, I think Yuanfu seems to be very opposed to our innovation. ”

Ma Shiying said: "Not only Yuanfu, but his people are also bent on stability, and they don't want to change, Zhang Sizhi and Chen Yan have the intention to go, and the household department and the official department may have trouble." ”

Gao Hongtu said: "This is okay to say, I heard news from the cabinet, saying that Yuanfu wants to increase the number of cabinet ministers. ”

Gao Hongtu's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

In today's cabinet, there are only two people, Zhou Yanru and Zhou Zheng, Zhou Zheng almost does not go to the cabinet, the cabinet is simply Zhou Yanru's world, and he still wants to increase the cabinet ministers, which is nothing more than to increase authority and squeeze Zhou Zheng's power space.

Sun Chuanting glanced at Zhou Zheng and said, "Xia Guan heard that Qian Qianyi and the others were on the way to Beijing, and Yuan Fu should not have received the news. In addition, Yang Sichang, Hong Chengchou and others, and Yuan Fu also intend to reopen. ”

Hong Chengchou was impeached by Yanguan for indiscriminate killing, and finally took office and dismissed the official and rushed back to Jiangxi. Yang Sichang and Chen Xinjia were impeached by the Yanguan because they 'negotiated peace privately' with Jianyu, and they were finally cut down and repatriated, and they should now be in Gansu.

These people are more or less not dealing with Zhou Zheng, and they are still the people who lead the troops, Zhou Yanru's intention to reinvent them is very obvious.

Sun Chuanting's voice fell, and the room suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere was a little tense.

Zhang Heyi looked at Zhou Zheng with some caution and said: "My lord, Hong Chengchou is okay to say, Fuqi is at most the book of the military department, but Yang Sichang was a cabinet minister before, and Fuqi will inevitably enter the cabinet, and he has a deep relationship in the army, Li Banghua, Zuo Liangyu and others are all his old ministry." ”

Zhou Zheng's expression was as usual, looking at everyone's nervous expressions, and said with a smile: "Hong Chengchou is not available, I will not allow the restart." It's Yang Sichang, in addition to being narrow-minded and intolerant, I have to say that my ability is unsurpassed, and I actually took advantage of him in the last battle in the northwest. ”

Everyone naturally thought that this was Zhou Zheng's modest words, and they didn't care, but they heard other flavors.

Sun Chuanting's eyes moved, and he said, "My lord, are you planning to allow Yang Sichang to restart?" ”

Zhou Zhenglu pondered and said: "There is such a big game of chess in the world, we still can't do it alone, and many things are too busy, if Yang Sichang can share some of it, it would be the best, especially the military reform." ”

The crowd was a little reluctant, but it was difficult to refute.

Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about these, there is always something to pull." Tell me about your preparations. ”

Zhou Zheng's reform plan, basically Sun Chuanting is the first person in charge, and he is also the prime minister of the future reform affairs prime minister yamen, he did not hesitate, said: "My lord, at present, we are selecting people from various yamen and localities, and forming sixteen divisions involving household registration, land, commerce, agriculture, officials, taxation, etc. We are sorting out the relationship and liaising with the local authorities to implement ......"

Sun Chuanting said, and Zhou Zheng nodded lightly. Sun Chuanting had written a detailed official document to him before, so naturally he didn't say it so carefully.

Everyone listened, and they were thinking. They are currently in the discussion stage, involving all aspects of the Ming Dynasty, and there are too many complex issues, which need to be roughly sorted out before they can be promoted.

A group of people also began to chimed in, expounding their views in their respective fields, as well as telling about the dilemmas they face.

After a while, Zhang Heyi said with some conclusion: "My lord, our innovation is top-down, but the imperial court's control over the local government is not as good as before, and the local officials are intertwined, and the holy decree may not work, let alone us." I think that when I work hard in Beijing, I also have to work on the local area. ”

Kou Huaiyi said: "As you said, the local area is intertwined, the gentry are powerful, and the role of changing a political envoy, prefect, and county is not big at all, and you have to find a way from the depths." ”

"What then? The gentry are not the kings of the clan, one hundred and ten, find a reason to dispose of it, the gentry are all over the Ming Dynasty, and they are the foundation of my Ming Dynasty, how to move? Zhang Heyi immediately retorted. Both of them disposed of Zhou Ji, and later in Jiujiang Pavilion, they were the original 'colleagues', with a deep relationship and fewer scruples in their words.

Sun Chuanting looked at the two of them and said: "Since the problem is clear, the differences in handling methods, these are not important, as long as the goal is the same and the direction of travel is unified, there is always a way." ”

Kou Huaiyi and Zhang Heyi also knew that what they said was a little excessive, and they nodded to Sun Chuanting one after another.

Zhou Zheng listened to their conversation, didn't pay attention to it, and said, "Where do you think the first step we want to do now is?" ”

Ma Shiying hurriedly said: "My lord, first find an office place, before Gao Shilang said, I hope that the yamen at all levels outside the Daming Gate will be adjusted, and the five armies will be emptied of the palace and given to the prime minister's yamen." ”

Zhang Heyi said: "I think we can re-plan and build a big courtyard outside the Daming Gate, including all the yamen, connecting the people outside, and entering the palace inside." ”

Gao Hongtu's eyes lit up, and he said: "This is a good way, the yamen are ready-made, and it doesn't take much silver, if you work in one place, it can really save a lot of trouble and improve the speed and efficiency of doing things." ”

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "You can do this." What I'm talking about is, our business, which step to do first? ”
