When Zhou Zheng returned to Zhou's mansion, he saw Fu Bo standing at the door, looking at Zhou Zheng with a smile on his face.

Zhou Zheng was stunned, touched his face, and said, "Fu Bo, what's wrong?" ”

Fu Bo smiled and said, "Second Young Master, you'll know when you go back." ”

"What's the good thing?"

Zhou Zheng glanced at Fu Bo again and walked towards his house.

When I returned to the house, I saw Shangguan Qing rarely preparing some female red things, and said casually: "As soon as I entered the door, Fu Bo was stupid at me, is there anything going on in the house?" ”

Shangguan Qing sat on the stool, pursed his lips, and looked at Zhou Zheng with a slightly red face.

Zhou Zheng was even more puzzled, sat down in front of her, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Shangguan Qing didn't speak, and touched his stomach with both hands.

Zhou Zheng blinked, and immediately pressed Shangguan Qing's shoulder, and said happily: "Got it?" ”

Shangguan Qing pursed his lips and mumbled.

Zhou Zheng's face was surprised and happy, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Stand up and walk around the room, hammering your left hand with your right fist and silly music all the time.

Shangguan Qing pursed his lips and smiled, pressing his hands on his lower abdomen.

By the time it was time for dinner in the evening, Zhou Zheng had already forgotten about going to Dongjiang Town to sit down, and he smirked vigorously.

Zhou Qingli already knew one step ahead, and he also knew Zhou Zheng's mood, naturally, he was also in a good mood, and said that he would invite Zhou Zheng's sister-in-law Zhou Ding back and take care of Shangguan Qing.

Zhou Zheng naturally agreed, and even asked Liuzhen to arrange a series of things from pregnancy to the birth of the child.

It wasn't until Zhou Qingli, Shangguan Qing and the others saw that Zhou Zheng was doing too much, too early, and had to continue, so they hurriedly held it down, and then they stopped.

The next morning, when Zhou went to the military headquarters as usual, he remembered the matter of Jianyu and turned to Zhou Qingli's study.

After listening to Zhou Zheng's words, Zhou Qingli's expression remained unchanged, and said: "Jianyu's strategy has always been very clear, first defeating the most threatening Mongolia, then Korea, Dongjiang Town, cutting off the threat on both wings, and finally attacking Liaodong with all his might. Now, if you want to rebuild Dongjiang Town, Jianyu will definitely not sit idly by, and it is likely to be more fierce than Liaodong. ”

Zhou Zheng nodded and said: "Phi Island is an island, Jianyu does not have a sailor, and we have, plus the defense on the island, it is difficult for Jianyu to take it." Lushun was meant to be a fortress, and I've been working hard for a few months, so there should be no problem defending. ”

Zhou Qingli was calm because she knew this, thought about it, looked at Zhou Zheng and said seriously: "I'm not worried about Dongjiang Town, I'm worried about the imperial court." Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao is crumbling, you have a close relationship with them, I am afraid that some people will soon turn the spearhead, if you make another meritorious service, disaster is not far away. ”

Zhou Zheng was calm and calm, and said: "At present, I can still deal with it, if it is really dangerous, I will think of other ways, and if it is not good, I will resign and protect my life." ”

Zhou Qingli saw that Zhou Zheng was still sober, nodded, and was just about to speak, when she suddenly changed the topic and said: "Yesterday, Bi Shangshu wrote to me, saying that he was recommending someone to you, maybe he could help you, and it should be there after a while, don't be in a hurry to leave." ”

Zhou Zheng was stunned, Bi Ziyan recommended talents to him?

Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng's expression and said with a smile: "You are now the governor of Denglai, and it is not strange that someone has recommended you to talents." What's more, Bi Shangshu has always been very optimistic about you. ”

Zhou Zheng was still a little uncomfortable with his identity change, and asked with some curiosity: "Who is it?" ”

Zhou Qingli thought for a while and said: "The letter didn't say much, it seems that he was a Jinshi in the Wanli period, who served in the household department, and later was jealous of the eunuch party, resigned and returned to his hometown, counting, he has been idle at home for more than ten years." ”

There were many such officials in the Ming Dynasty, who resigned at every turn, dismissed the official at home for many years, and then reinstated. Those who come back like this are either great talents or great traitors!

Zhou Zheng didn't know who Bi Ziyan recommended to him, and then asked, "Dad, then what position should I arrange for him?" ”

The Governor, very similar to the Cabinet Existence, is a special position. The cabinet was developed from the emperor's advisers and formed a formal position in the imperial court, but in terms of system, it was never really established. Strictly speaking, the existence of the cabinet has always been the emperor's 'personal secretary', but it is also the actual Zaifu.

The governor is the same, at first the Ming Dynasty did not have the official position of governor, but it was just a check and balance between the three local departments, and it was often difficult to shirk the blame, so it was necessary for the court to send a governor to decide. The governor was also appointed from the beginning to the time of the regularization. However, like the cabinet, the governor is not in the institutional sequence of the imperial court, and he is not a magistrate, nor is he a formal official position, but a Beijing official, and he is often hung with the title of 'Imperial History of the Imperial Palace' or 'Imperial Envoy of the Right Deputy Governor', commonly known as the 'Imperial History of the Governor Somewhere'.

Governor was originally a verb, but over time it became a noun.

Zhou Qingli smiled when she heard this, and said: "It's simple, give him a member of the household department or the official department, and then send it to you to do some government affairs assistance." ”

Zhou Zheng understood it, I am afraid that it was not Bi Ziyan's initiative to recommend, it should be Zhou's father's initiative. It should be Zhou Qingli who saw that there was a lack of people around him, so he stepped in to help.

Zhou Zheng smiled quietly and said: "It's still Dad Gaoming, okay, I'll operate it, and when he comes, I'll arrange it for him." The person recommended by Bi Shangshu must be a talent. ”

Zhou Qingli nodded calmly as usual, and said: "The imperial court is an eventful time, you have been in the capital for many days, you should have found out, be careful in everything." ”

Zhou Zheng stood up and said, "Hmm." Then, Dad, I'm going to the military department. ”

Zhou Qingli nodded and watched Zhou Zheng leave.

Zhou Zheng left the house and went straight to the military department.

Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is now worried, and he doesn't know that there is any change in Jianyu, and he is worried about all kinds of things in the Ministry of War all day long, and the biggest problem is money and food, and he needs money and food everywhere, but he is overstretched, and he can't get one more.

The whole court is staring at the summer grain, waiting for the summer grain to continue its life.

Zhou Zheng didn't have time to pay attention to this, while planning the defense of Dongjiang Town, while arranging various matters.

Zhou Zheng had no time to take care of it, and was busy for six or seven days in a row, and the recitals of Huang Longyu and He Kegang in Dongjiang Town arrived at the imperial court one after another.

Hearing that Jianyu was changing, the imperial court immediately tensed, Chongzhen held court meetings one after another, and the final decision was that Zhou Zheng, the governor of Denglai, immediately returned to Dengzhou and took command.

At the same time, Ouyang Sheng, the governor of Liaodong, took over Liaodong and waited for it, and asked Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the military department, to go to Shanhaiguan in person to plan for everything.

It can be seen that Liaodong is still the focus of attention of Chongzhen and the imperial court, and it has never relaxed, Jianyu, or the number one enemy of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhou Zheng received an order from the imperial court, so he naturally immediately started to arrange it, ready to leave at any time.

On this day, as soon as he returned home, he heard a series of laughter coming from the gazebo.

Zhou Zheng walked over and saw Zhou Qingli and a middle-aged man in his forties, playing against each other, smiling and very happy.

The middle-aged man saw Zhou Zheng coming over, stood up and raised his hand and said, "Sun Baigu, I've seen Governor Zhou." ”

Sun Baigu, Sun Chuanting!
