Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Xie Yuanfu." ”

After Zhou Yanru finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

Li Hengbing blocked him, and said indifferently: "The lower official will not resign, if Yuanfu wants the criminal department, he might as well be deposed directly, if Yuanfu can do it." ”

Zhou Yanru's face suddenly became ugly, stared at Li Hengbing coldly, and then looked at Zhou Zheng, and said, "This is your person?" ”

Zhou Zheng looked up at the roof beam of the Jinluan Hall and said, "Li Shangshu is not my person. ”

Zhou Yanru understood, took a deep breath, and said, "There is no other suitable position." ”

Zhou Zheng paced over and said: "The corruption of my Ming officials is the root of all evil, and the lower officials want to establish a special clean government agency, responsible for the cabinet, and specifically responsible for investigating the corrupt officials in the world, Li Shangshu is very suitable." ”

Zhou Yanru didn't dare to give in easily to Zhou Zheng now, for fear of stepping on the trap, and said: "There are three divisions, there is no need for other clean government yamen, Li Shangshu's arrangement can be considered slowly in the future." ”

Li Hengbing's expression was indifferent, and he said, "If the lower officials don't leave, Yuanfu's wish will not be fulfilled." ”

Zhou Yanru looked at Li Hengbing, turned to Zhou Zheng again, and said in an indifferent tone: "You have already calculated it?" ”

Zhou Zheng looked at Chen Yan, Zhang Sizhi and the others, and said, "Yuanfu, I have given in enough." ”

Chen Yan and Zhang Sizhi are all related to Li Zicheng, and they are also rebellious, if Zhou Zheng is liquidated, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant, will not be able to run!

Zhou Yanru's face was blue, and his eyes were angry.

Chen Yan and the others were afraid that these two big men would tear their faces, and it would be them who were unlucky, so they hurriedly stepped forward to persuade peace.

Chen Yan said: "Two adults, this honest government organization can discuss calmly, Li Shangshu has outstanding ability, and it is not unavoidable. ”

Zhang Sizhi followed: "Yuanfu, this clean government organization can let Li Shangshu be the chief official, and you can arrange the deputy." ”

Li Rixuan, Li Juesi and others also felt that they couldn't continue to confront each other like this, so they stepped forward one after another.

"Zheng Xibo, this clean government organization, the power and position still need to be discussed, after all, the three divisions are here, and they can't overshadow the three divisions."

"Yuanfu, this clean government agency is responsible to the cabinet, and it is no different from the six ministries and nine temples, but there is no need to worry about disrupting the situation in the court......"

Zhou Zheng's people took a long time and did not come forward.

Li Banghua, Tian Zhenshu and other neutrals watched coldly and did not participate.

Zhou Yanru was extremely angry in his heart, and the recent events made him, the first assistant, feel more and more aggrieved, if he was not reluctant to be powerful, he really wanted to leave without being angry!

A group of people persuaded Zhou Yanru to take a step, took a deep breath, and said: "The Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department will discuss in detail, and the cabinet will approve it." ”

Zhou Zheng smiled with satisfaction and said, "What Yuan Fu said is true. ”

Li Hengbing raised his hand and let go of the road.

Zhou Yanru flicked his sleeves, blushed his face, and strode away.

Chen Yan, Zhang Sizhi and others hurriedly laughed with Zhou Zheng and left.

Zhou Yanru and his family left, except for Zhou Zhengyi, it was Li Banghua and Tian Zhenshu and other centrists.

Zhou Zheng looked at Li Banghua and said, "Have you read all the articles on military reform?" ”

Li Banghua's expression was tight, and he raised his hand and said: "Zheng Xibo writes by hand, and the subordinate officials should be rigorous." It's just that it involves the reform of the military system, and the subordinate officials need to be cautious, and they also ask the subordinate to give the subordinate some time. ”

Zhou Zheng snorted and said: "I praise your attitude, there is still more than a month to celebrate the New Year, I want to know your decision before the year, otherwise, you will enter the cabinet." ”

Once he entered the cabinet, he lost the military department, but he was also promoted, and Zhou Zheng did not suppress him.

Li Banghua raised his hand and said, "Yes." ”

Zhou Zheng glanced at Tian Zhenshu again, and walked towards the outside of the palace.

Outside the palace gate, Shangguan Lie had been waiting.

As soon as Zhou Zheng came out, he said with burning eyes: "Brother-in-law? ”

Ding Qi, Liu Liuzhen and the others all looked at Zhou Zheng, this holy decree is just the beginning, and there are still many things to do!

Zhou Zheng looked at the backs of Zhou Yanru and the others, his eyes flickered slightly, and said, "Bring Xu Wenjue out." Tell Qian Qianyi to immediately try the case of the noble minister's rebellion. ”

"Yes!" A group of people raised their hands and strode away. They have long been holding back the fire in their bellies, and they can't bear it!

Sun Chuanting stood behind Zhou Zheng and said in a low voice: "The layout of the imperial court should be accelerated, and the northwest side should also start." ”

The court is disturbed, and the gods and ghosts are constantly in trouble, and they need to be careful and at the same time push forward with their established rhythm of law change.

In the northwest, Lu Xiangsheng led an army of nearly 200,000 people, and was carrying out a strong blow to the bandits led by Li Zicheng, constantly squeezing their living space.

Judging from the strength of both the enemy and us, the solution to the bandit problem in the northwest should be before the end of the year. What happens after it is resolved?

Lu Xiangsheng has 200,000 troops in his hands, almost all the elites of the Ming Dynasty, and their position is not clear, after knowing what happened in the capital, what will he choose and do?

Will he become a 'loyal minister' and coerce Zhou Zheng to return power to the little emperor?

Zhou Zheng turned his eyes to the northwest, waved his hand when he listened, and said with a smile: "I can trust Jiandou, you will write the general outline of the reform of the system, show it to me first, and then give it to Yuanfu." Regarding the matter of the Great Ming Law, it is necessary to speed up, the debate is necessary, but it cannot be stagnant, if necessary, let the people of the world discuss and listen to the opinions of the people of the world. ”

Sun Chuanting listened thoughtfully, and said: "My lord, I am afraid that our change will be opposed by the vast majority of people, and we may not get useful suggestions. ”

Zhou Zheng glanced at him and said meaningfully: "What we want is not a suggestion, but the will of the people, as long as we open up the discussion, what the future of the Ming Law will look like is the result of the 'people's will'." ”

Sun Chuanting immediately understood that the so-called 'people's heart' can also be changed to another word, that is, 'righteousness', as long as righteousness is in hand, everything can be justified!

"Yes, Xia Guan understands." Sun Chuanting said.

Zhou Zheng hummed casually and continued to walk forward.

He was surrounded by a large number of janissaries, guarding him thoroughly. Up to now, the people around Zhou Zheng are worried that some people will jump over the wall in a hurry and do extreme things, so they must arrange so many guards for him.

When Zhou Zheng walked out of the Imperial Palace, Shangguan Lie came to the Qianqing Gate with a large group of guards.

Xu Wenjue had long known about the movement outside and had been waiting for it.

Seeing Shangguan Lie coming violently, his expression was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "My Xu family is a great contributor to the establishment of the country with Taizu, Taizong's martyrdom, not anyone who wants to move can move, Zhou Zhengyun can't!" ”

Ding Qi stood next to Shangguan Lie and sneered: "You probably don't know, Nanjing's town guard eunuch has been replaced, the military department Shangshu has also been replaced, and Jinyiwei's cavalry has arrived in Yingtianfu, how long can you hide those things?" ”

Xu Wenjue is the hereditary Duke of Wei, who has been entrenched in Nanjing for many years, not to mention that the rich can rival the country, at least half of the enemy, except for rebellion, there is no other dare to do it, and he has not done it.

Xu Wenjue slammed a knife and said coldly: "If you want to catch me, step over my corpse!" ”

Shangguan Lie didn't rush to move, and looked inside.

In the Qianqing Palace, the little emperor should be in it at this time.

Zhu Cihong was indeed inside, accompanied by Li Zhong, Li Huazhen, and ten eunuchs.

There was a plate in front of Zhu Cihong, and there was a pot of wine in the plate, and in the cup was a swaying drink.

Li Huazhen's face was expressionless, and he said: "Hedinghong, if something happens to Qianqingmen, it will be the Duke of Wei who conspired against him, and His Majesty died at the hands of thieves." Afterwards, Zheng Xibo would select a person from the clan to be the emperor, just like Emperor Jiajing. ”

Wuzong died and had no children, and the minister and the empress dowager selected Emperor Jiajing from the clan.

Zhu Cihong naturally knew about his own affairs, his face was pale, he looked at Li Zhong and Li Huazhen tremblingly, and said, "Zhou Zheng, do you really dare to kill the king?" ”

Li Zhong pursed his lips, he wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, he kept shaking his head, not knowing what he was expressing.

Li Huazhen was silent for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, you didn't understand, Jiadingbo, Taikangbo didn't understand either." Da Ming is not the same as before. Your father wanted to kill the frontier generals, but he lured them to other places and then made a move. You have no power or power, so you want to kill Xibo, and you can't succeed. ”

Zhu Cihong looked at the poisonous wine, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It's not that I want to kill him, it's that he holds on to his authority and doesn't let me be the real emperor, what else can I do besides killing him?" ”

Li Huazhen shook her head and said, "Why don't you understand?" You used the wrong method at the wrong time, and it was Jiadingbo who hurt you. ”

Zhu Cihong's eyes kept staring at the poisonous wine, and he didn't know if he had listened to Li Huazhen's words, and asked, "I, do you have to drink it?" ”

Li Huazhen looked outside and said, "Zheng Xibo wants Xu Wenjue, and he shouldn't have seen anything else." His Majesty is still a holy monarch, and the monarch and the ministers are harmonious, and there is no longer any suspicion. ”

Zhu Cihong understood the meaning of Li Huazhen's words, stared at him and said, "Really, as long as you hand over Wei Guogong, the rest of the past is not to blame, and you don't need to drink this cup of poisonous wine?" ”
