Before Zhou Zheng arrived at the palace, another big drama happened in the Yantai Poetry Society.

I don't know if Gu Yanwu got Zhou Zheng's hint, or if it was the aggressiveness of the Fushe, Wang Xue's left and right factions actually openly 'depicted', and the scene was huge, gathering nearly 2,000 people.

These people are government and opposition officials, there are also candidates who have not yet entered the office, scholars who are waiting to be examined, and so on, and they are divided into two camps.

At first, the debate was about the direction of Wang Xue's development, and then it turned to the court bureau.

For the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty for so many years, there have been debates in all dynasties, and there are many who 'take the world as their own responsibility', but there are few changes.

Now, in the eyes of many people, the current situation is an excellent opportunity, so they have made efforts.

In their opinion, as long as the government is purged, the "Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty" can be revitalized, opposing the so-called "change of law", thinking that this will shake the national foundation of the Ming Dynasty, which is a destructive move, and resolutely opposes.

Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi were Wang Xuezuo, and they already had some signs of capitalism, and they naturally opposed the tinkering of the 'Erzhang', demanded thorough reform, and even openly advocated the restriction of monarchical power and dictatorship, the development of commerce, and the equal treatment of the people.

People from both sides are standing on the stage, and the saliva you come and go is full of poetry and books, and there is no reason to spare people.

The onlookers listened with relish at first, but later realized that something was wrong, because the camps of the two sides became clearer and clearer, attacking each other, and faintly pointing out the forces behind them.

'Erzhang', Zhang Bo, Zhang Cai is behind Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru, which has long been seen. Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi and others are relatively vague, and they have always given people the feeling of being alone, but now, the name of Zheng Xibo and Zhou Zheng behind them is about to come out.

Too many people who were still confused finally understood that what kind of 'school dispute' this is, which is clearly the continuation of the party struggle and the dispute over the development line of the current imperial court!

Many people's faces sank like water, and their eyes flashed and stared at the two sides on the stage.

The fight between the two sides seems to have nothing to do with them, but in fact it is closely related to them, and even their fate!

This 'literary meeting' lasted for more than two hours, and finally won a complete victory with 'Erzhang', and Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi and others were not only not widely accepted because Wang Xuezuo's faction, but also put forward political views that the vast majority of people opposed.

As in the previous debates, the Restoration Society won a big victory.

'Erzhang' left surrounded by a large group of people, while Gu Yanwu, Wang Fuzhi and others were cold and sparse.

Huang Zongxi's face was full of helplessness, and he sighed: "Erzhang is full of knowledge, but he is so stubborn, I can still listen to them, they can't listen to us at all......"

Wang Fuzhi also shook his head again and again, and said: "Zhang Cai said 'the trend of the times', which is really the case......

Gu Yanwu and the others looked at 'Erzhang' surrounded by thousands of people, with different expressions.

"Ningren, what are you going to do?" Huang Zongxi looked at Gu Yan Martial Dao.

Ning people, Gu Yanwu's words.

Wang Fuzhi followed: "We have been defeated in a row, I'm afraid that there is no place to stand in the court, even the Hanlin Academy will not be able to stay." ”

Huang Zongxi didn't wait for Gu Yanwu to speak, and suddenly continued: "Last time, you said that many of the strategies of Zheng Xibo coincide with us, and Zheng Xibo also hopes that we will publicize more, you say, will Zheng Xibo reuse us?" ”

Wang Fuzhi's eyes were eager, but he was in his early twenties, which was the age when he was eager to do things.

Gu Yanwu shook his head and said: "I can't figure out the idea of recruiting Xibo, looking at the things that flow out, it is more far-reaching than we think, and it is even more out of line, and we may not be able to help anything, you and I have just entered the ranks, and we have no ability or connections, Zheng Xibo is high, and there are talents under our hands, how can we look down on a few of our hairy boys?" ”

Wang Fuzhi's eager gaze suddenly dissipated, and he smiled helplessly and said with a wry smile: "If the Fushe is in control of the imperial court, I am afraid that it is really as they said, it is another Donglin Party, I don't know if it will provoke another eunuch party." ”

Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu sighed, although they were young, they had also seen the terrible situation in the Ming Dynasty, and the party struggle was almost all the time, never stopping.

Zhou Zheng returned to the west corridor, and without stopping for a moment, he stared at the northwest.

Chu Jin synthesized the intelligence from various places and said: "My lord, Premier Lu's encirclement and interception of Wu Sangui and others failed, Wu Sangui and others took advantage of the complex terrain of Sichuan and colluded with the local Tusi to block the pursuit of officers and soldiers, and now, they should rush to Guizhou." Guizhou is vast and sparsely populated, and there are not many troops, so I am afraid that they will not be able to stop them. ”

Zhou Zheng listened and nodded silently.

Not only Guizhou, but also Yunnan, and even Huguang are not much.

If Wu Sangui suddenly attacked Huguang, and then advanced to Jiangxi, or even Nanzhili, then it would be a big trouble. Most of the Ming Dynasty's forces were in the northwest, and they simply did not have the strength to stop Wu Sangui.

However, Wu Sangui should also know that if they really go deep into the Ming Dynasty, even if they give the Ming Dynasty a big loss, then they will never be able to get out again, and there is only one way to lose!

Chu Jin glanced at Zhou Zheng and continued: "Xiaguan has already sent an order to Anqing in accordance with the orders of the adults, ordering Shi Kefa and Chen Qiyu to lead the army south, first, to block the road to the north of Wu Sangui and others, and to stabilize Yunnan. ”

Zhou Zheng nodded lightly and said, "Order Cao Wenzhao to reorganize his troops as soon as possible, march at full speed, rush to Yingtian, and sit in Nanzhili." ”

Now, not only the people of Nanzhili and the south, but also the officials are worried, and so are Zhou Zheng and the Ming court, who need to pull out the northwest army and suppress all places.

Chu Jin responded and said: "In addition, Qin Liangyu came to report that there were traces of Tatars outside Gansu Town, and it seemed that he wanted to pass Kouguan, but he didn't move. ”

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows, and then snorted coldly: "Allocate 200,000 grains and 300,000 silver to Qin Liangyu to stabilize the line of the Great Wall." Tell him that the imperial court will send him reinforcements as soon as possible, and he must not lose anything! ”

Chu Jin quickly wrote it down, and then said: "In addition, Lu Xiangsheng may arrive in Beijing within five days, which is Yuanfu's order." ”

Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "I acquiesced." ”

Chu Jin flipped through the codex again and said, "So much for the time being. ”

Zhou Zheng waved his hand at him, beckoned Yao Tongshun, and said, "I will have a banquet for Yuanfu in the mansion in the evening, and you go to the Zhuangyuan Building to order a table of good dishes." By the way, invite Yang Sichang out and call me to my house. ”

Yao Tong complied and said, "My lord, Yang Sichang, I'm afraid I may not be willing to come out." ”

Yang Sichang and Zhou Zheng have some 'grudges' in the end, he may not be willing to go out of the mountain, even if he goes out of the mountain, he will not stand on Zhou Zheng's side.

Zhou Zheng didn't move, and said, "You go and say it, go in person." ”

Yao Tongshun raised his hand and withdrew.

Zhou Zheng exhaled lightly, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and was still pondering in his heart.

With the pacification of the northwest and the change of the yuan and the restructuring next year, the situation of the DPRK will inevitably be greatly moved, and it is necessary to make serious plans and scrutinize step by step.
