The Prime Minister's compound has been put into use, and all the yamen have moved in, except for the West Corridor.

Because the west corridor is a temporary institution, there is no office location, and it is still in the palace.

As Lu Xiangsheng launched the final battle, the military intelligence department was busy, and even the military department did not stop. Li Banghua has been avoiding Zhou Zheng, and he has to run eighteen times a day to conquer the West Corridor.

Right now, right now.

Li Banghua and Zhang Heyi stood in front of Zhou Zheng's table, talking about various things.

In fact, the army of the expedition to the west has reached the last moment, and it is nothing more than this last battle.

Zhou Zheng has been planning for too long, and Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao, Zhao Shujiao and others have carried it out, and Li Zicheng's morale has been greatly lost, but there is not much to worry about.

Li Banghua, as the secretary of the Ministry of War, is related to the national society, how dare he be careless, he almost wants to nail Zhou Zheng here, waiting for news from the northwest.

Zhou Zheng listened for a while, explained for a while, took a sip of tea, and said: "In the first battle in the northwest, there will be no variables. It's time to think about the post-war period. ”

Li Banghua was stunned, then pursed his mouth and stopped talking.

Zhou Zheng has always wanted to brake Daming's guard, Li Banghua has been pushing left and right for a long time, but now, it is time for Li Banghua to make a decision.

If Li Zicheng is exterminated and the army of more than 200,000 is conquered to the west, how should it be settled?

These soldiers and horses are actually 'recruited', strictly speaking, they are not the army of the Ming Dynasty, and they are no longer guarded.

It is impossible to disband, and there is no need for so many troops to be stationed elsewhere, so how can these more than 200,000 troops be placed?

Zhou Zheng looked at him without speaking, and said lightly: "Then first, I will set up thirteen general troops to guard the provinces to settle people's hearts." Thirteen governors were set up to be responsible for daily military affairs and pacify the people. ”

Li Banghua knew that this should be a beginning, as long as it started, it would not be able to stop it in the future.

However, Li Banghua knew better that Zhou Zheng had given in, and he had delayed for too long, which really annoyed Zhou Zheng, and he could completely leave him alone.

Li Banghua was silent for a while, and said: "Regarding the daily military affairs, the subordinate hopes that the military department will weigh it. ”

Someone helped to do things, Zhou Zheng was naturally happy and said, "Okay." ”

Li Banghua was still worried, and then said: "Thirteen Commanders, Thirteen Governors, what do you think?" ”

The so-called 'Thirteen Roads' are the thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

"I'll talk to Motosuke about it later." Zhou Zhengdao. He naturally has ideas in his heart, and he probably has a candidate, but there is no need to tell Li Banghua, lest someone do anything about it.

Li Banghua could probably guess it and nodded silently.

At this moment, Yao Tongshun came in and said, "My lord, Gu Yanwu is here." ”

Gu Yanwu is now the editor of Hanlin, and he is also the main player in the debate with 'Erzhang', and at the same time, he has also made the greatest contribution to the editing of Da Ming Law.

Li Banghua wanted to say something, but seeing this, he raised his hand and said, "The next official retires." ”

Zhang Heyi is Zhou Zheng's person, and he spent almost half of his time in the West Corridor, and he was indifferent to Li Banghua's retirement.

Zhou Zheng smiled and watched Li Banghua leave.

As soon as Li Banghua left, Gu Yanwu came in.

He was a little excited, raised his hand and said, "Xiaguan Gu Yanwu, I have seen Zheng Xibo." ”

Zhou Zheng's social circle is extremely small, there are not many people who can see him outside, he has always paid attention to his nourishment, and the outside, especially the younger generation, admires him very much.

Scholars, making meritorious contributions, and supporting the community, it is nothing more than Zhou Zheng, right?

Zhou Zheng looked at him and said with a smile: "No courtesy." I didn't watch your debates, but I heard a lot about them. ”

Gu Yanwu thought of the last scene, it was like a shrew scolding the street, and he said with some shame: "Let the adults laugh." ”

Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said: "The national system, the history of the county, the astronomical instruments, the river Cao, the soldiers and peasants, the hundred schools of scripture and history, and the study of phonology and exegesis, you have so many involved, but you are better than me, today's young talents, you are among the top ten." ”

Gu Yanwu didn't expect Zhou Zheng to appreciate him so much, and he couldn't help but say worriedly: "The lower officials don't dare to be so praised as adults." ”

Zhou Zheng smiled slightly and said: "'From the world to the family, each has his own relatives, each has his own son, and people have selfishness, and the reason why stubbornness is inevitable. …… The private of the world is used to become the public of the world, so it is the king's government', 'Use the private of the world to become the public of one person and rule the world', 'The king of the world cannot be ruled by the world. If the rule is alone, the punishment will be complicated, and the punishment will be taken if the rule is many', 'The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband', 'The law does not change and cannot be taught today...... And if you stick to its unchanging name, it will be a great disadvantage', these are all your inner thoughts, or are they excited? ”

Gu Yanwu didn't expect Zhou Zheng to blurt out these words, his expression was awe-inspiring, and he bowed down and said: "These are the heartfelt words of the lower official, if the adult wants to ask the guilt, please ask the guilty subordinate alone." ”

Gu Yanwu's words are actually already challenging the 'family world', that is, questioning the imperial power and negating the fallacy of the divine authority of the monarch of the 'Son of Heaven'.

Zhou Zheng looked at him and said, "I have also heard some of your thoughts in the Hanlin Academy, do you think that I just asked you to write the Da Ming Law, do you dare to write it?" ”

Gu Yanwu raised his head violently, opened his mouth and said, 'Dare', but when he reached his mouth, he swallowed it back and slowly lowered his head.

is like his predecessor Li Zhen, he can speak his mind freely, and he will not change his mind when he is branded as a 'heretic', and in the end he can only 'collect books' and 'burn books', and he will not be recognized.

Gu Yanwu is the same, he has these ideas, and he can't write them into the Da Ming Law.

If you think like this alone, the other ninety-nine people oppose it, if you insist on it, it will be a good death if you are marginalized.

Zhou Zheng saw Gu Yanwu's unbearable expression, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not a crime." The herbs you edited, I have read it with Yuansuke, and although it is a little unpragmatic, it is not out of line. I discussed with Yuanfu that the Great Ming Law should be overhauled every three years. If you can convince other people to put your ideas in, it's not hard. ”

Gu Yanwu gradually heard the taste, and looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "My lord, are you on the side of the lower officials?" ”

Although Zhou Yanru, Qian Qianyi and others did not come forward, anyone can see that the support of Zhou Yanru and Qian Qianyi behind the 'Erzhang' and the resumption of the society. The reason why Gu Yanwu, Wang Fuzhi and others are at a disadvantage is that in addition to the radical nature of their studies, they cannot get most of the recognition, and the background is not thick and the confidence is insufficient.

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you want to pull my banner." I'm not as good as Yuanfu and Qian Ge, they are so powerful that I can't stand it. ”

Gu Yanwu's expression was a little disappointed, but he was also relieved.

Zhou Zheng has a lot of troops in the end, and his time in the DPRK is very short, and he is not from the Jiangnan clan, and his foundation is extremely weak, which is not as good as Zhou Yanru, Qian Qianyi and others are normal.

Zhou Zheng saw that Gu Yanwu was a little frustrated, and said: "The Great Ming Law is a product of consensus, which reflects the will of the vast majority of people in the world. What you have to do now is to expand your ideas, so that more people can recognize them, and one day, most people will be like you, and the Da Ming Law will be changed without your push. ”

Gu Yanwu looked up at Zhou Zheng and blinked, as if he had an understanding.

Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "Regarding the revision of the Great Ming Law, your Hanlin Academy will have a few more debates, and the imperial court also wants to see public opinion." I heard that you are also preparing to plan a poetry society, don't touch it, the imperial court is considering abolishing the association. ”

Gu Yanwu was again for a while, and then raised his hand and said, "Yes, Xia Guan understands." The lower officials opposed the formation of factions among officials in the DPRK and China, and also opposed the formation of gangs by scholars. ”

Scholars form gangs, and they will eventually be reflected in the court. Shidafu Group, regardless of the government and the opposition.
