Shenyang City was in chaos early in the morning, and many people even ran to the palace and asked Huang Taiji to ask for help as soon as possible.

The leakage of military information naturally ushered in the wrath of the high-level of Jianyu, and it didn't take long for Shenyang City to arrest people on a large scale, and even publicly execute some street gangsters, which gradually calmed down this 'rumor'.

At this time, Zhou Zheng's carriage had already left Shenyang City and was heading south at the fastest speed.

Huang Weihuai's face in the carriage was all iron blue, and his hands were clutching the pants on his thighs, and he was also nervous.

Shenyang is the land of tigers and wolves, how can Jianyu not worry about such a sudden move, and constantly urging the carriage to hurry up and go faster.

Zhou Zheng's expression was as usual, but he was worried about whether Li Xiaobin and the others were hiding deep enough, hoping that no one would expose it.

Then he was thinking that he had already done this, Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong should be vigilant and would not be so easily fooled.

From beginning to end, Zhou Zheng never thought about the impact of the spread of this 'rumor' on the high-level of Jianyu.

Huang Weihuai and Zhou Zheng's carriage sped south, getting farther and farther away from Shenyang City.

Li Xiaobin and the others have withdrawn from this matter at this moment, quietly hiding, and each of them is waiting to see the development of the situation.

They just bribed a drunken slave in Mang Gurtai's mansion, and then led him to get drunk in the restaurant and brag recklessly, and they contributed to the flames behind the scenes, which caused this 'rumor'.

Now that this 'rumor' has come true, they have successfully retreated, cut off all clues, continue to lurk, and never appear again.

And in the high-rise buildings that they couldn't see, there was a lot of noise, solemn and tense, and there was a silent aura of slaughter.

……

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, on February 13, Huang Weihuai and Zhou Zheng's carriage finally returned to Ningyuan City, and everyone in the three carriages breathed a sigh of relief, which was truly safe.

Yuan Chonghuan welcomed Huang Weihuai and others in as soon as possible, but did not care about Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng didn't make it up, and when he arrived at the room arranged for him, he fell asleep.

At this time, the carriage, at this time, his bones were about to fall apart, and his muscles were sore, which was unbearable.

In Yuan Chonghuan's secret room, there were only him and Huang Weihuai.

Huang Weihuai explained what would happen in Shenyang in detail, no matter how big or small, and told Yuan Chonghuan one by one.

Yuan Chonghuan didn't bother, and when he finished speaking, he asked a few more key questions, and then fell into deep thought.

Huang Weihuai didn't dare to disturb, what happened in Shenyang, especially the 'rumor', made Huang Weihuai deeply disturbed.

After a long time, Yuan Chonghuan came back to his senses from his contemplation and said to himself: "It seems that Huang Taiji's truce is fake, and it is true that he wants to use military merits to establish power." ”

Huang Weihuai just looked at Yuan Chonghuan and didn't answer.

Yuan Chonghuan glanced at him and said, "Huang Taiji is the fourth Baylor, his prestige is not enough, he will use the war to eliminate dissidents, or weaken their rights, the truce is fake, and most of that rumor is true." ”

Huang Weihuai's expression tightened suddenly, and he said, "My lord, what should I do then?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan's expression remained unchanged, but he gave people the impression that he let out a sneer, and said, "What Nurhachi can't do, Huang Taiji can't do either!" It's okay, there's still a few months to go, and I'm going to prepare. ”

Now it is only February, and it will take at least two or three months to wait for Jianyu to withdraw his troops from North Korea, and then send troops to cross the Great and Small Ling River, which is not a long time, nor a short time, which is enough for Yuan Chonghuan to do a lot of things.

Huang Weihuai breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Over there in the imperial court, how should I reply?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan glanced at him and said, "Spring and Autumn penmanship, you don't need me to teach you." ”

Huang Weihuai suddenly understood, nodded and said, "Okay, I know." ”

Yuan Chonghuan was calm as usual, he was not annoyed or lost his square inch because he was deceived by Huang Taiji, paused for a moment, and said, "Zhou Zhengyun, what do you think?" ”

A smile appeared on Huang Weihuai's face, and he said: "Although he is young and impulsive, he often talks wildly, but he is righteous and awe-inspiring, his bones are like loose, he is not chaotic in the face of danger, and he is not afraid of life and death. ”

Yuan Chonghuan was surprised when he heard this, and said, "Don't you hate him very much?" ”

Huang Weihuai smiled and said, "I hate it now, talents are rare." ”

Yuan Chonghuan looked at him thoughtfully, and then said: "After you go back, don't write too much about Zhou Zhengyun, just click a sentence occasionally." ”

Huang Weihuai was puzzled and said, "What do you mean, my lord?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan had his own plans in his heart, and said: "The water in the capital is too deep, he has offended too many people before, after he goes back, there will be no reward, it would be good to keep his official position, and it would be good to sharpen his temperament." ”

Huang Weihuai made a clear understanding and said, "The lower official understands, don't worry." ”

Yuan Chonghuan didn't care what Huang Weihuai thought, but he shook his head in his heart, he didn't like Zhou Zheng, whether it was Zhou Zheng in the capital or in Liaodong, he didn't like Zhou Zheng's actions, and then, he didn't like Zhou Zheng as a person.

Young people, listen honestly.

……

Zhou Zheng slept until the afternoon, Yuan Chonghuan didn't see him, and he didn't take the initiative to ask to see him, walking around Ningyuan City.

There are traces of construction everywhere in Ningyuan City, and it is constantly being heightened and thickened, and the soldiers and civilians are in a hurry.

Zhou Zheng walked around casually, and could feel that Ning Yuancheng had a little more tension than the last time he came, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally his thoughts were not in vain.

After walking for a while, Zhou Zheng suddenly asked the soldiers beside him and said, "The last time I saw two Xiyi people, are they still there?" ”

This soldier was a little young, only seventeen or eighteen years old, and looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "Is the adult talking about the Francophone man?" They left, and I heard that they were going to Tianjin Wei. ”

'Tianjin Wei? ’

Zhou Zheng thought in his heart, Tianjin is indeed a good outlet to the sea, but it is not a suitable trade port, if you want to trade by sea, it is best to be in Guangdong.

Then I couldn't help but wonder, whether Wei Xizhuang had left Beijing, and how Shangguan Xun digested Li Shi's industries......

Zhou Zheng was just about to go downstairs, when he suddenly noticed that this young man seemed to be a little unusual, the armor he was wearing was different from that of other soldiers, and he asked curiously: "By the way, what is your name?" ”

The soldier hurriedly said: "Don't dare, the villain Cao Bianjiao." ”

Zhou Zheng looked stunned, and looked at this young soldier seriously, it was actually Cao Bianjiao, this person will be a fierce general in the future, who made great achievements in suppressing bandits and resisting the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and finally died heroically.

His uncle is Cao Wenzhao, and he is a tiger general!

Zhou Zheng smiled after being surprised: "Well, the future is immeasurable." ”

Cao Bianjiao is now nameless, just an ordinary soldier, and he praised Zhou Zheng, but said: "My lord said it was funny." ”

The status of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty is very low, they are literati in command of the army, and there are very few real soldiers.

Cao Bianjiao was neither humble nor arrogant, and his demeanor was moderate, Zhou Zheng appreciated it even more, wrote it down in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future." ”

Cao Bianjiao only regarded the casual words of the superiors, did not take them to heart, and accompanied Zhou Zheng down the city tower.

Zhou Zheng went down the city tower, turned around his room, passed by Huang Weihuai's room, and saw that his door was open, and he was writing something, raising his head to look at it, with a smile on his face.

Zhou Zheng was just about to continue walking, Huang Weihuai suddenly turned his head and shouted: "You came just in time, I have already written the transcript of the submission, you are the deputy envoy, come and sign it." ”

Zhou Zheng, as the deputy envoy, of course, had to sign Huang Weihuai's recital.

Zhou Zheng walked over when he heard the words and picked up his notebook.

Huang Weihuai's italics are very well written and look beautiful. This recital is that this trip to Shenyang went very smoothly, and we came back safely. At the same time, he also wrote, "Servility is not trained, and its words are difficult to distinguish", "The misfortune of Liaodong should be self-improvement", "Shenyang is boiling, rumors are spreading, it is true as false, and I am afraid that it is a trap".

Probably that means, I went, but I didn't know anything, I couldn't figure out anything, that's the way it is, please let the emperor and the court judge.

And when it comes to Zhou Zheng, he is very cooperative, he helped a little, and after a brushstroke, Zhou Zheng's name appeared three times in total.

In front is the head of the upper play, the text once, and the signature once.

Huang Weihuai has been observing Zhou Zheng's face, and said with a smile: "This time is very smooth, I will cover up your things for you, don't worry." ”

This envoy, as long as there is no negotiation collapse, it is meritorious, and the court will definitely have a reward.

Huang Weihuai said that the credit is his, and there is no share of Zhou Zheng, and at the same time, he has to sell Zhou Zheng's favor!

Zhou Zheng couldn't see through Huang Weihuai's careful thoughts, his face was as usual, and he said, "After Lord Huang goes back, where will he be promoted?" ”

Huang Weihuai couldn't hide the smug smile on his face, and said, "I won't hide it from you, Tobe Langzhong." ”

"It's a fat shortage." Zhou Zheng nodded. The official positions of the household department are all fat and lacking, no matter how poor and poor it is, it is the treasury, and the yamen will not be poor, especially the people inside!

Huang Weihuai looked at Zhou Zheng with a smile and said: "You won't be bad, the things you caused before are almost over, at least your supervision of the imperial history can be kept, and you will be low-key in the future, and you will still have a future." ”

For this kind of caring words of the superiors, Zhou Zheng just smiled faintly, put down the notebook and said: "Then I wish Lord Huang a bright future and prosperous official luck." ”

Huang Weihuai was about to be promoted, and he was in a very good mood, and said: "We can be regarded as sharing hardships, after returning to Beijing, if you have anything to do, just come to me." ”

Zhou Zheng naturally didn't take it seriously, and was just about to ask Li Hengbing to add some names of his companions to the book, when suddenly a person hurriedly ran in and whispered in Huang Weihuai's ear.

Huang Weihuai's face changed suddenly, he stood up violently and was about to go out, but he turned around and put the music book into his arms before he could talk to Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng looked at his expression, and he was afraid that something would happen to the capital again.

Sure enough, Huang Weihuai, who came back not long after, had a gloomy face, and there was no joy of promotion, so he closed the door and never came out.

On the second day, Zhou Zheng and his entourage prepared to leave Ningyuan.

Yuan Chonghuan didn't show up, but the guerrilla general Zuo Fu came to see him off.

Inside the carriage, Huang Weihuai's expression was still not good, his face was constipated, he didn't say a word, his eyes were red, and he hid his anger with nowhere to vent.

Zhou Zheng didn't ask, and read by himself.

For more than ten days along the way, Huang Weihuai did not say what happened.

Zhou Zheng can probably guess that it is nothing more than those dirty things in the officialdom, and he already has new ideas for the future, so he has a cold attitude towards the deceit in the officialdom.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the second day of the third month.

As soon as Zhou Zheng arrived in the capital, before he could get out of the carriage, Liu Liuzhen ran over quickly and said urgently: "Second young master, it's not good, our Zhou Ji is surrounded by the officials of Shuntian Mansion!" ”
