Zhou Zheng listened to Liu Liuzhe's meaningful words, laughed, held the teacup, and looked out of the door quietly.

Xu Wenjue is indeed a soft bone, in history, the Manchu Qing Dynasty invaded Nanjing, he was the one who led the people to surrender, and he was servile to the extreme, without shame.

But this little emperor, can he really bend and stretch?

Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said lightly: "Next year, you will go to Nanjing in person." I have changed the eunuchs guarding the town, Li Hengbing was reappointed as the governor of Nanzhili, and Jiang Guang was appointed as the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department. ”

Liu Liuzhen looked at Zhou Zheng with some caution and said in a low voice: "Second Young Master, can Li Hengbing believe it?" ”

Zhou Zheng exhaled lightly, his expression was cold, and said: "I have already ordered Zhang Yitan to serve as the chief soldier of Yingtian, if someone makes trouble, you hold my token." ”

Liu Liuzhen suddenly understood and said, "Yes!" Second young master, I know how to do it. ”

Zhou Zheng snorted, and then said: "These are the words of next year, you keep an eye on the trends inside and outside the DPRK for me." ”

Liu Liuzhen responded again, and before he could answer, Zhou Fang came, looking a little not good.

Liu Liuzhen hurriedly bowed down and retreated.

Zhou Fang walked in and said with an irritated expression: "You want to give up the Shuntian Mansion to Zhou Yanru?" ”

Shuntianfu is in charge of the capital, and Yin Sanpin, Shuntianfu, is ranked in the court, which is half a point higher than the ordinary feudal officials, which can be imagined how important it is.

Zhou Zheng stretched out his hand and poured him a cup of tea, and said, "Yuanfu said in public, if I don't agree, I will let my blood splash on the spot." ”

Zhou Fang didn't know this, and the corners of his mouth twitched when he heard it.

The Ming court often staged some strange plays, such as the ministers blocking the emperor and 'educating' for a few hours, but the emperor could only endure and hide. For another example, under the excitement of the crowd, they beat the traitor to death with an old fist on the Jinluan Palace.

These can still be said, if a first assistant holds a dagger to chase and kill the cabinet ministers on the Jinluan Palace, it will be a big joke in the world!

Zhou Fang understood the pressure that Zhou was facing, sat down opposite, picked up the teacup, and was about to drink it and said, "Still let out of the Criminal Department?" ”

Zhou Zheng said leisurely: "I plan to reform the Criminal Department and sort out the duplication of powers. ”

The subtext is that Zhou Zheng is going to reduce the authority of the Criminal Department.

Zhou Fang drank tea silently and mourned silently for that Zhou Shoufu, but he was afraid that he was still complacent.

Zhou Fang took a sip of tea, sorted out his thoughts, and said, "What do I arrange next?" ”

"The Ministry of Works." Zhou Zheng said without hesitation.

Zhou Fang put down the teacup, frowned, and said, "The Ministry of Engineering is in charge of all kinds of projects, palaces, city walls and other repairs, which are useless." ”

Zhou Zheng said with a smile: "I will sort out the authority of the six departments, and the Ministry of Industry will not be so idle." ”

Zhou Fang is a person who wants to do things, and when he heard it, he was immediately satisfied, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." I'll go back and make arrangements for Shuncheonfu. By the way, my brother and sister let you have time to go back and discipline the children. ”

Zhou Zheng agreed, and continued to look through the book.

The situation in the northwest is getting more and more critical to the most critical moment, judging from the transcripts of Lu Xiangsheng and others, Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Liangyu and others have crocheted a big net, ready to capture Li Zicheng and others!

The northwest is about the stability of the Daming Society, and Zhou Zheng has never relaxed.

When Zhou Fang came out of the west corridor of Zheng, he happened to see Chen Yan and Zhang Sizhi out of the cabinet, and the three of them looked at each other, all nodding and smiling.

Zhou Fang strode away, he was going to take up the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and he was going to hand over the Shuntian Mansion, and some of them were busy.

Zhang Sizhi looked at Zhou Fang's back and sighed softly: "You say, why is he so happy?" ”

Chen Yan's Hubu Shangshu was gone, but he was not let out of the capital, and his mood was not much better at the moment, looking at Zhang Sizhi, who was transferred to the Criminal Department, and said, "He has a good brother." Don't talk about them, what are you going to do when you go to the Criminal Department? ”

Zhang Sizhi looked up at the sky and said, "Sect, the Xungui side has been decided, and we don't need to worry about it." The rest is those officials, Yuanfu's meaning, if you can protect it, you can protect it, and if you can't protect it, you must keep the incense. ”

Chen Yan nodded and then shook his head again, and said: "Yuanfu and Zheng Xibo go their own way, there will be more conflicts, I am unloaded, you have to plan early." ”

Zhang Sizhi thought of the surrender form, and his scalp suddenly went numb, he couldn't figure it out, how could he write a surrender table for Li Zicheng in a daze at that time, so that it made an irreparable mistake!

Zhang Sizhi looked irritable and said, "Let's wait and talk about it, so let's pass this year first." ”

Chen Yan nodded silently, there is still more than a month to go before the New Year, and after the New Year, it is the first year of Anhe, and he will say goodbye to Chongzhen Dynasty completely.

Half an hour later, Shangguan Lie cleaned up the original 1,000 people of Xu Wenjue, leaving about 700 people, standing in front of the Qianqing Palace in a uniform manner.

In front of the steps of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Cihong looked at these people with a tense face, while Yu Guang looked at Shangguan Lie on the side, his body trembling visibly.

Shangguan Lie looked down and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the ministers have been investigated and purged, these seven hundred people are available for Your Majesty to send, and the appointment, deployment, and placement are all decided by Your Majesty, and the ministers are not at their mercy." ”

Zhu Cihong was stunned, looked at him and said, "Really, give it to me?" ”

Shangguan Lie said: "Yes." ”

Zhu Cihong was a little suspicious, but he was even more excited, if these people were his, then the inner court was his, at least a little safer.

Zhu Cihong stared at the seven hundred people, his eyes were hot, and said, "Then, the city gate, is it still blocked?" ”

Shangguan Lie leaned over and said, "The Qianqing door is not sealed, and Your Majesty can come and go at will." ”

Zhu Cihong was excited, but he was more suspicious and uneasy, but there was no one to discuss, so he could only look at Li Zhong and Li Huazhen.

Li Zhong twisted his eyebrows, just as he couldn't figure it out.

It was Li Huazhen, who smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty just take your time." ”

Zhu Cihong listened, as if he felt reasonable, and nodded silently.

At the same time, Qian Qianyi was tried again in the lobby of the Criminal Department.

This is a trial, and it is a noble minister whose status is second only to the clan. Among the noble ministers, there are more thieves than the clan, and the relationship between them and their in-laws is very complicated, which affects the whole body.

There are a lot of people who shout grievances, but the evidence produced by the three divisions is enough to be high, even if there is no reverse case, they can't escape.

After the trial, the onlookers were stunned and shocked.

These ministers, who were once unattainable and thought they were glamorous, turned out to be so dirty and filthy!

Like last time, Qian Qianyi did not judge in public, but announced the verdict on a later date.

However, two major cases in succession still set off a huge storm in the capital, and spread rapidly outside the capital.

These clans, these noble ministers are not a year or two, they are as little as a hundred years, as many as two hundred years, with deep roots and branches crossing, which are destined to cause huge waves!

The arrest of those speech officials has already caused dissatisfaction and shock among the government and the opposition, and if the verdict of these two major cases is announced, the whole world will be shaken!

The officials in the capital moved one after another, and the envoys who had been idle suddenly became busy and received more and more transcripts.

Even some of the old antiques who have been in the world for many years, and even the old antiques who don't care about the world, have come out of the mountains one after another and appeared in the field of vision of the imperial court in various ways.

And the local officials got the news one after another, and the book was on the way, like crossing the river, surging to the capital.
