A few days later, it was a farce again in the officialdom of the capital.

That is, someone recommended Zhou Zheng's eldest brother Zhou Fang to serve as the general judge of the Shandong Political Division, and he was the sixth product.

Not long after, someone recommended Zhou Zheng's father, Zhou Qingli, to be the Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry, and he was the fifth product.

It is said that the book had been sent to the General Political Envoy Division, but within half an hour, the two men personally ran to the General Political Envoy Department and took it back with great difficulty.

The reason is that the list of envoys was reported by the cabinet, and Zhou Zheng served as the deputy envoy.

Although the grade has not changed, and it is not a good errand to send an envoy to Jianyu, but a small seven-grade superintendent can be named a deputy envoy, which itself also explains something.

Therefore, these two people have become a joke in officialdom, and everyone knows that they are not dealing with Zhou Zheng, and they are malicious killings.

As a result, Zhou Zheng didn't make a move, and he retreated in disgrace, which really made some people laugh.

"Huang Weihuai?" Zhou Zheng listened to the name of the envoy and read a sentence to himself.

This is the small pavilion of the Zhou family, Zhou Qingli was instructing Zhou Zheng to play chess, and he dropped a son casually, and said: "A member of the Ministry of Rites, six products." ”

There are a few foreign officials in the imperial court than the supervision of the imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate, Huang Weihuai's name, Zhou Zheng really didn't have any impression, listening to Zhou Qingli's words, he just looked at the chessboard and pondered.

For Zhou Zheng's chess strength, Zhou Qingli really didn't dare to compliment, thinking that when he was a child, he held Zhou Zheng to teach step by step, and now he has to teach again, and sighed with emotion, and said: "This envoy, on the surface, was sent by Yuan Chonghuan to mourn the old chief, it is impossible to send higher officials, and no one dares to mention the word 'peace'." ”

The Ming Dynasty court had a force to abandon Liao and retreat to Shanhaiguan, and naturally some of them hoped to negotiate peace with Jianyu.

It's just that Da Ming has never negotiated peace with any hostile forces, and if he dares to say so, those who do this will die without a place to be buried.

Zhou Zheng understood that this was proposed by Yuan Chonghuan, and he should have wanted to use this to negotiate peace, and some people in the court acquiesced.

"Safety should be fine, but Yuan Chonghuan's purpose will definitely not be achieved. Jianlu and Daming can only save one, and they know very well in their hearts that as long as they have the opportunity, they will not let go of attacking Liaodong. Zhou Zhengdao.

Historically, Yuan Chonghuan and Huang Taiji reached a tacit understanding and made a truce in Liaodong, but Huang Taiji will go on an expedition to North Korea next year, deter North Korea and Mao Wenlong, and suddenly attack Ningjin again, causing panic in the government and the opposition.

In the end, it was Yuan Chonghuan and Huang Taiji's second tacit understanding that they truce with each other, but in just a year, Huang Taiji led his army to bypass Shanhaiguan and enter the customs from Xifengkou, with an army of 100,000 and wantonly plundering the hinterland of Jinggi in the Ming Dynasty!

Zhou Qingli was also worried about Liaodong, the imperial court's attitude towards Liaodong, and his thoughts changed day by day, the generals and commanders of Liaodong did not agree and fought with each other, and the officers at all levels were extravagant and corrupt, and their combat effectiveness was low, and he always felt that something would happen sooner or later.

Although Zhou Qingli was in a humble position, she couldn't do anything, looked at Zhou Zhengluozi, looked up at him and said, "Find a chance to meet Huang Weihuai and touch his thoughts." Discuss the strategy of going to Liaodong, don't conflict, even if some of his remarks are out of line, what to do in Shenyang, you don't have to argue, everything will be talked about when you return to Beijing. ”

Zhou Zheng knew Zhou Qingli's worries, and was about to speak, Fu Bo walked over quickly, took an invitation in his hand, and said: "Master, second young master, Huang Weihuai, a member of the Ministry of Rites, sent an invitation card, and invited the second young master to come to the house for a banquet tomorrow." ”

Zhou Qingli didn't move, took it and looked at it, and handed it to Zhou Zhengdao: "His granddaughter passed away." ”

Zhou Zheng took it and looked at it, the invitation was nothing unusual, but behind this invitation, what is the purpose?

Zhou Zheng thought for a while and said, "Do I want to investigate the relationship between Huang Weihuai and Yuan Chonghuan?" ”

Since it was Yuan Chonghuan's proposed condolence, Huang Weihuai, the envoy, should be Yuan Chonghuan's person, adhering to some of Yuan Chonghuan's ideas.

Zhou Qingli shook her head and said, "Don't mess around, I'll let people inquire." ”

As soon as Zhou Qingli's voice fell, a family member hurriedly ran over, looked at the three people in the pavilion, he hesitated, and said: "Master, second young master, there is a Wei Gongzi outside the door who asks to see him, and he said that there are 100,000 urgent things to see the second young master." ”

Zhou Qingli refused Zhou Zheng to investigate just now, because he was worried that Zhou Zheng and Wei Xizhuang would get too close, but when Cao Cao Cao arrived, his face couldn't help but sink a little.

Zhou Zheng saw it clearly, and hurriedly said: "I know in my heart, except for him, I have nothing to do with anyone else in the eunuch party." ”

Zhou Qingli had already warned Zhou Zheng several times, and she didn't want to say anything more, so she just got up and left with an expressionless face.

Fu Bo naturally followed, leaving Zhou Zheng alone in the pavilion.

Zhou Zheng looked at Zhou Qingli's back, and waited for him to walk away before he said, "Please let him in." ”

The family hurriedly agreed, turned around and ran out.

It didn't take long for Wei Xizhuang to rush over, and without waiting for Zhou Zheng to speak, he took the teapot, poured a cup for himself, and drank it.

Zhou Zheng looked at his anxious, irritable, and restless look, his eyes were slightly cold, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Wei Xizhuang is Wei Zhongxian's grandson in the end, and if he wants to encounter danger, it will be unusual.

Wei Xizhuang put down the teaglass, wiped the corners of his mouth, and looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "It's a good thing, it's a good thing to make me panic." ”

Zhou Zheng's face was somewhat relaxed, and he smiled: "What is so good that it makes you panic?" ”

Wei Xizhuang's expression was solemn, and he said: "The news from the Nine Thousand Years Old Mansion has revealed that the Nine Thousand Years Old intends to make some of us people Hou Bo, Wei Pengyi is Dongping Bo, Wei Liangdong is Dong'an Hou, and Fu Di Tian Lu is the same as Su Ning Hou." ”

Zhou Zheng listened to Wei Xizhuang's words and finally understood why Wei Xizhuang was panicking.

Wei Xizhuang was originally a broken household that was eating and waiting to die, and no one even gave Zhang Luo a wife, and he was able to get to this day because of his involvement with Wei Zhongxian in the same village.

Wei Xizhuang knew himself very clearly, he was a useless person who followed Wei Zhongxian to eat and drink, and one day he might be beaten back to his original form and honestly go back to farming.

However, before this day, it was actually going to be a marquis, ancient and modern, how many people can be marquis? If there is no great merit, why should you be a marquis?

Especially if there is no one with a little ability like him, he is suddenly made a marquis, and the saliva of those adults in the court can drown him!

Zhou Zheng understood Wei Xizhuang's uneasiness, and the little man was naturally frightened when he suddenly ascended to a high position, thinking in his heart, and asked seriously: "You don't really want to take it, do you?" ”

If Wei Xizhuang takes over the matter of Feng Houbo and has a knighthood, Chongzhen will come to power next year, and Zhou Zheng will not be able to save it if he wants to!

Wei Xizhuang's expression was a little tangled, and he said, "You said you don't want to, it must be fake." But why should I be a marquis? Even if there are 9,000 years old to take care of,...... Nine thousand years old can't cover me for the rest of my life? ”

Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "You are still an understanding person." ”

In Zhou Zheng's view, even if Chongzhen did not come to power, an eunuch like Wei Zhongxian who wielded authority would not end well. Wei Zhongxian is already 'nine thousand years old', and Tianqi is only in his twenties this year, if he lives for a few more decades, can Wei Zhongxian be content with the status quo for such a long time? Or can the apocalypse allow for a powerful 'nine thousand years old' under Long Live all the time?
