Chapter 436: Laying Out the Imperial Court
Zhou Qingli was not satisfied with Zhou Zheng's answer, and said: "Zhou Yanru is not clean, if he can't get out of the whole body, it may affect many people." ”
Zhou Yanru is not a clean official and a capable minister, he is more of a villain, he has many henchmen, is corrupt, and has been the first assistant for three or four years, if he is imprisoned, it will really involve many people, including Zhou Zheng!
Zhou Zheng understood what Zhou Qingli meant, pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay, I'll find time to talk to him." ”
Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "You find a reason, you are going to visit Yuanfu in a bright way, you have this qualification now." ”
Zhou is the governor of Denglai, although this governor is a lot worse than other governors, but he is the governor after all, and he is qualified to knock on the door of the Shoufu Mansion.
Zhou Zheng snorted and said, "I'll go tomorrow." ”
Zhou Qingli glanced at Zhou Zheng, stopped talking a little, and said, "You find time to visit Zhang Shangshu again." ”
Zhang Shangshu, Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the military department.
Zhou Zheng is now subordinate to the Ministry of War, so it is reasonable to go to pay a visit. But Zhou Qingli's words obviously don't stop there.
Zhou Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Dad thinks that the military department will send me to other important things?" ”
Zhou Qingli looked at the gate, looked worried, and said: "The official army seems to be victorious, but the bandits are getting stronger and stronger, there are signs of flowering everywhere, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Sichuan, Huguang and other places are constantly gathering, and they have also come up with a 'Twenty-eight Zhai Alliance', if they really put it together, the total strength may be as high as hundreds of thousands of ......."
Zhou Qingli obviously saw something, and did not have the confidence and calmness of those adults in the imperial court under the continuous victories of the official army.
Zhou Zheng knew the history well, took a breath, and said: "Dad is right, the official army seems to be like a rainbow now, with more victories and fewer defeats, but if the internal affairs continue to be corrupted, pure suppression alone will not have good results, and it is still necessary to rest the internal affairs, stabilize the people, and cut off the source of chaos and banditry." ”
Zhou Qingli's eyes were full of worry, and he said: "When Bi Shangshu was here, he once discussed with me that if Liaodong was slowed down, he could start to rectify internal affairs, especially the issue of acres and taxes. Now that the situation is chaotic and the party is fighting against differences, who can still rectify internal affairs and calm the people? ”
Zhou Zheng has always had a plan in his heart, but this plan can't be spoken, he thought about it again and again, and said, "Dad, wait and see." ”
Zhou Qingli glanced at him and didn't say anything.
At this moment, Fu Bo quietly walked over, looked at the father and son who were almost identical lying on the rocking chair, holding a teacup and drinking tea, and said, "Second young master, there is a Ma Langzhong who asks to see you." ”
Zhou Zheng was stunned, and immediately knew who it was, got up and said, "It should be Ma Shiying, Dad, I'll go and see you." ”
Zhou Qingli knew this person, and nodded: "He has been in the limelight recently, and I heard that he has leaned on Wen Ge Lao." ”
Zhou Zheng didn't know about it yet, his eyes were slightly cold, and he said, "I know." ”
In the pavilion in the front yard of the Zhou family, before Zhou Zheng arrived, Ma Shiying hurriedly walked over and said urgently: "Lord Zhou, it's not good, the imperial court wants to check the salt class." ”
Zhou Zheng sat down as usual and said, "Can't you handle this little thing?" ”
Ma Shiying sat down with Zhou Zheng, and said anxiously: "This matter is not so simple, the original salt was to be distributed to the provinces, and the provinces paid the silver into the treasury, but in fact it is not, now the imperial court says that the provinces have accumulated a loss of 3.2 million, and the salt department must be fully explained, otherwise it will be dealt with severely." ”
Zhou Zheng listened and understood that this should be an extension of Bi Ziyan's matter.
"Why don't you go to Elder Wen Ge, he's about to become the first assistant." Zhou Zheng said lightly.
Ma Shiying suddenly came to his senses, quickly stood up, and said with a stiff smile on his face: "Don't misunderstand, my lord, I only occasionally visited Wen Ge Lao, not to his disciples, I have always been the only one in the Zhou family, please be enlightened." ”
Ma Shiying can have today, it is all arranged by Zhou Zheng. Even if he leaned on Wen Tiren now, he didn't dare to be disrespectful to Zhou Zheng, let alone turn his face.
Zhou Zheng glanced at him and said lightly, "I'll take you to see Yuanfu tomorrow." ”
Ma Shiying suddenly felt his scalp tingle, and said, "My lord, I'm going to see Yuanfu?" Not so good......"
Ma Shiying has just leaned on Wen Tiren, if he goes to see Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren is about to succeed as the first assistant, what future can he have?
Zhou Zheng's tone became more and more indifferent, and said, "I don't like Wen Ge Lao. ”
Ma Shiying was really sober this time, and hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Everything is arranged by adults." ”
Zhou Zheng is now the governor and is qualified to be called a 'lord'.
Zhou Zheng snorted, and then said, "The matter of the salt class is not so troublesome. If the imperial court wants to investigate, it has to investigate the provinces, although you are promoted by your predecessor, but you still have done a lot of things, and you can be left alone with a little operation, so you don't have to be so flustered. ”
Ma Shiying's heart suddenly settled down a little, and he said with a stiff smile: "Yes." It's a small thing for an adult. ”
Zhou Zheng has arranged a lot of people in the imperial court in advance, but there are not many who can really take the throne, and Ma Shiying is okay.
But he didn't have one of them, and he had to start arranging it again.
Zhou Zheng thought so in his heart, and said lightly: "Go ahead." ”
Ma Shiying hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Yes, the lower official will retire." ”
Zhou Zheng looked at his back, thought about it, got up and said a few words to Zhou Qingli, and then walked out of the house and walked towards the military headquarters.
Ma Shiying left the Zhou Mansion and sat in the sedan chair, her expression was still nervous, difficult to alleviate, and she was self-determined.
Zhou Zheng is now more calm, calm, and confident than before, with the bearing and majesty of a superior person that he did not have before.
Ma Shiying's eyes flickered and he panicked.
Ma Shiying originally thought that the Zhou family had declined, and Zhou Zheng couldn't do anything to make some military achievements outside, but he didn't think that Zhou Zheng had never relied on the actions of the Zhou family, and he had always relied on himself!
Ma Shiying had a bad premonition, if he was disgusted by Zhou Zheng, he would probably be beaten back to his original form, and no one would be able to protect him!
"Make amends! To make up for it, we must find a way to make it up as soon as possible! ”
Ma Shiying muttered to herself anxiously, and even fine sweat appeared on her head.
Zhou Zheng didn't care about Ma Shiying's chess piece, and went straight to the military department.
Zhang Fengyi looked at Zhou Zheng and said with a smile: "Just come back and come to see me, what's the matter?" ”
Zhang Fengyi is very optimistic about Zhou Zheng, and he is already starting to cultivate quietly.
Zhou Zheng was not polite, raised his hand neither humbly nor arrogantly, and said: "My lord, Denglai, Dongjiang Town is vast and sparsely populated, the strategic location is important, and the disaster situation in the northwest is serious, and there are many chaotic people, so it is impossible to resettle. The lower officials asked these people to be placed in Denglai. ”
Zhang Fengyi looked very pleased, and beckoned, "Sit down and say." ”
Zhou Zheng raised his hand and walked down beside Zhang Fengyi.
Zhang Fengyi took a sip of tea and said, "As you said, I have communicated with the governor of Shaanxi, Shanxi, and the political secretary, as well as Cao Wenzhao, they are all very happy and willing to cooperate. Especially Cao Wenzhao, he captured many bandits, and there was nowhere to place them, just when you made this request, he also wrote a book to show you merit. ”
