Chapter 212: The Shadow of King Xin
The effects of these urgency were soon felt.
Even if it was night, Tian Zhenshu still came to the door.
In the pavilion of the Zhou Mansion, Zhou Zheng and Tian Zhenshu took a sip of herbal tea and expelled a little bit of dryness.
Tian Zhenshu put down the teacup and said, "You wrote that songbook, right?" ”
Zhou Zheng knew which one he was talking about, nodded and said, "Hmm." ”
Tian Zhenshu frowned, took a deep breath, and said, "Do you know how much movement it caused?" I heard that Yuan Fu dropped his cup, and Wei Zhongxian cried in the Qianqing Palace for an hour. ”
Zhou Zheng's brows moved, he really didn't expect to cause such a big movement.
In fact, Zhou Zheng is not to blame, after all, he has not been in the office for a long time, and he does not have much in-depth understanding of Daming officialdom.
This kind of playbook similar to the compilation of the roster has the strongest attack power, and when Xu Dahua compiled a 'Donglin Comrade Record', he pulled down more than 30 people in one go, and everyone in the government and the opposition was in danger, which shows its power.
Although everyone knows that the formation of a party has become a common practice in the Ming Dynasty, no one can please it when it comes to the surface.
After all, it didn't come out, the emperor still turned a blind eye for various reasons, if it was put on the surface, whether it was the emperor or the courtiers, for the sake of the word 'system', they still had to do things.
"It looks like it's a sore spot." Zhou Zhengdao.
Tian Zhenshu looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "You don't know how big the matter is this time, if Wei Zhongxian really wants to build a big prison again, it is not a joke." ”
Zhou Zheng listened and shook his head secretly, Wei Zhongxian can't afford to be in prison, even a little big action may cause the taboo of the apocalypse.
Wei Zhongxian is not stupid, if he is still so strong at this time, how can this reassure Tianqi?
King Xin, only sixteen years old!
Zhou Zheng thought about it, didn't hide it, and said, "I'm going for Cui Chengxiu, and I won't expand." ”
Tian Zhenshu looked solemn, shook his head and said: "This is no longer up to you, Li Guopu and others have been very eager recently, and they have a crazy passion for power. I heard that he installed people in all six departments, and the same is true of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Not to mention our adults, even the cabinet, the six ministries turned a blind eye. Now I don't know how many people are pouring into the impeachment of the eunuch party, and the situation is out of control! ”
Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "It's nothing wrong to mess around, let's take advantage of the chaos to fish." ”
Seeing that Zhou Zheng refused to tell his plan, Tian Zhen sighed in his heart and persuaded him: "I don't know what you're going to do, but it's better to be cautious, now is the most dangerous time, and if you're not careful, you'll be crushed." ”
The more dangerous it is, the more you have to do something, otherwise after the danger, the fruit will not be your share!
Zhou Zheng took a bit of a big risk this time, and he didn't dare to pull Tian Zhenshu, muttered for a while, and said: "I know, I have the proportion, don't worry." ”
Tian Zhenshu seemed to hear something, was quiet for a while, and said, "Okay, when you need me, give me a letter." ”
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, you should also be cautious." ”
The Jiangxi Association behind Tian Zhenshu has not been idle, and it has been moving frequently recently.
Tian Zhenshu shook his head, things have been too chaotic recently, he didn't say much to Zhou Zheng, and left in a hurry.
Zhou Zheng sent him away, and just as he was about to turn around and go home, he saw Father Zhou coming back in the moonlight not far away.
Zhou Zheng was stunned for a moment, stepped forward and said, "Dad, is the Xinwang Mansion so busy?" ”
Zhou Qingli glanced at Zhou Zheng and said, "Go in and say." ”
Zhou Zheng looked at Father Zhou's expression and knew that there might be something important, so he nodded and entered the house with him one after the other.
Zhou Qingli's study.
Zhou Qingli changed her clothes, ate a few bites of snacks, and took a sip of tea, then looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "Where is your playbook?" ”
Zhou Zheng listened to this meaning and asked, "Is it the one that is rumored?" ”
Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng and hummed expressionlessly.
Zhou Zheng thought thoughtfully, and said: "I was stopped by Cao Yubian and retreated to me, and now I am in my study." ”
Zhou Qingli's expression was slightly relaxed, she thought for a moment, and said, "How many people have seen it?" ”
Zhou Zheng didn't know why Zhou Qingli asked this, thought about it, and said: "I sent it directly to the Experience Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then to Er Cao, I should have seen a lot, but because it is a vague name, except for Er Cao, I clearly know that I wrote not much." ”
Zhou Qingli was silent for a while, looked up at Zhou Zheng, and said, "King Xin knows, he wants to see your script." ”
Zhou Zheng's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Zhou Qingli with his eyes wide open.
He didn't expect that the reason why Father Zhou was so serious was because of his belief in the king.
Zhou Zheng quickly calmed down and thought quickly.
When the apocalypse ascended the throne, King Xin was only eleven years old, so King Xin's treatment behind him was very good, whether it was food, clothing, housing and transportation, or education in words and deeds, far beyond ordinary princes.
King Xin received the most orthodox prince's education, determined to be a sage, bearing, and conduct are very outstanding, different from other clans, the government and the opposition have a lot of praise.
It's just that King Xin, has he already started to care about the court situation?
Although it is a matter of course, Zhou Zheng still has some unease in his heart.
"Okay, I'll get it." It was just a moment before Zhou Zheng's expression recovered.
This notebook, in the final analysis, Zhou Zheng is written to the king of letters! Not only does he have to completely cut off the eunuchs, but he also has to register here in Chongzhen, and share the fruits after he ascends the throne and eliminates the eunuchs!
Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng's back and picked up the teacup again.
Waiting for Zhou Zheng to bring the notebook, Zhou Qingli opened it and looked at it carefully, carefully read it twice before putting it down, looked up and said to Zhou Zheng: "Well, there is no problem." ”
The content of Zhou Zheng's writing, in fact, the government and the opposition know that when the Donglin Party impeached Wei Zhongxian and the eunuch party at its most violent, it was dozens of major crimes, which was much more ferocious than Zhou Zheng.
The difference is that Zhou Zheng compiled a roster of eunuchs.
Zhou Zheng looked at Father Zhou, hesitated for a while, and said, "Dad, does King Xin already have any arrangements?" ”
Judging from Chongzhen's later methods of dealing with Wei Zhongxian, the current King of Xin is not simple, and whoever underestimates him because of his young age will have to pay the price.
Zhou Qingli was silent for a while, and said, "Well, I've seen some people." By the way, the British Duke was ordered by the Empress to enter the palace. ”
Zhou Zheng nodded lightly, which means that the apocalypse is about to fail, the situation in the palace is tense, Empress Zhang is not at ease, and let the British Duke sit in the palace to deter Wei Zhongxian, Keshi and others.
Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "King Xin wants to see you." ”
The corners of Zhou Zheng's face changed uncontrollably, and said, "When?" ”
Zhou Qingli said: "I didn't say it, I just said that I wanted to see you." ”
Zhou Zheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he really didn't want to see Chongzhen, at least not now.
This one, too fickle, is so good to you today, too good to be better; Tomorrow, I can hate you to death because of someone else's words, and I will divide your five horses!
Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng's expression and asked, "Is it dangerous?" ”
Zhou Zheng understood that he was talking about this script, and replied directly: "There is a little danger, but once the son of heaven and a courtier, the eunuch party will inevitably fall. ”
Zhou Qingli knew that Zhou Zheng was accustomed to taking the sword sideways, and said with a slightly solemn expression: "King Xin's succession to the throne is not 100%, you don't have to miscalculate." ”
Zhou Zheng was stunned, then nodded and said, "I understand." ”
Whether the king can ascend the throne depends on the attitude of the apocalypse. If it was really like Wei Zhongxian and others designed, the apocalypse suddenly appeared with a son, then King Xin would be completely cold.
Or, King Shin died violently, and the throne had to be chosen from the clan.
In this way, the situation will not change as many people predict, and this scenario will be even more terrifying!
Fortunately, Zhou Zheng knew that there was no such possibility.
