Xiao Er hurriedly said: "Zheng Xibo recovered the capital and saved an unknown number of people." Our shopkeeper and his family were almost killed, but fortunately the Hebrew expedition was timely. The shopkeeper said that these are all given to you, and no money will be charged. ”

Zhou Zheng's expression moved, and he was a little emotional, this was the first time he sincerely thanked him after recovering the capital.

Zhu Cihong's people are more or less with a kind of 'false politeness'.

Seeing that Zhou Zheng didn't speak, Ma Shiying suddenly said: "Don't worry, my lord, the officials here have all checked, there is absolutely no rebellion, and the food will definitely be safe." ”

Zhou Zheng woke up, looked at Xiao Er with a smile, and said, "Your shopkeeper is serious, this is a matter of responsibility, thank him for his kindness for me." ”

This little second didn't seem to expect such a big man to be so approachable, and said with a flushed face: "Yes, yes, you use it slowly, if you have any orders, just say hello." ”

Zhou Zheng nodded, and when he turned his head, he saw the little guy reaching out to grab the pastry, staring at a dozen plates while eating.

Zhou Zheng poured him a cup of tea with a smile and said, "Eat slowly, eat less, otherwise your mother will find out and trouble me again." ”

The little guy didn't know if he understood or not, so he slurred, and the little face continued to eat very seriously.

Ma Shiying said with a smile: "My lord, the second son is more well-behaved than my family, if my family is there, he will definitely overturn the table." ”

Zhou Zheng wiped the little guy's face, and then said: "By the way, the emperor has been studying recently, and he said that he wants a few companions to read, do you have a suitable recommendation?" ”

Ma Shiying was stunned, looked at Zhou Zheng, and wanted to say that the age of the eldest son of your family is very appropriate, but he couldn't figure out Zhou Zheng's thoughts, and said: "There are a lot of people of the right age in Beijing, and adults and Yuanfu have to make the decisions." ”

Zhou Zheng snorted, thought for a while, and said: "Yuanfu's grandson, Zhang Sizhi, Chen Yan and others, pick five or six, if you have a suitable one, you can do it." ”

Ma Shiying heard that the people of their family would not enter the palace to accompany the emperor to study, although it was a little strange, he still said: "Yes, the lower officials have written it down." ”

Zhou Zheng moved the plate for the little guy and said, "The thirteen supervising imperial histories I asked you to prepare, how are you preparing?" ”

Thirteen Supervision Imperial History, withered most of them, Zhou Zheng asked Ma Shiying to do, naturally not to make up for manpower, but to prepare thirteen patrol investigation teams, ready to conduct a comprehensive survey of the thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

Ma Shiying had already been preparing, and said: "My lord, the current candidates are almost the same, and there are a few more on the way to Beijing, and other kinds of auxiliaries, etc., the lower officials are also carefully scrutinizing in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it is expected that before the end of the year, they can be formed and leave Beijing as planned." ”

Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "First of all, investigate Beizhili and Shandong, and make a sample." ”

These two places can now be said to be Zhouzheng's territory.

Ma Shiying vaguely understood, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, the subordinate official will receive the order." ”

Ma Shiying's words fell, and Xiao Er came to serve the food with a plate, very attentive, but he didn't dare to say more.

When he left, Ma Shiying looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "My lord, Kedao has been a little unusual recently, the spearhead is directly aimed at my lord, and there should be someone behind the scenes." ”

Zhou Zheng smiled and said: "There must be manipulation, but it's not one or two, it's not strange to look down on me, think about the power in my hands, or new hatreds and old grudges." ”

Ma Shiying's expression was a little cautious, and he said, "My lord, do you want to be suppressed by the lower officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" ”

Zhou Zheng glanced at him, picked up the chopsticks, and said lightly: "No, let them dance as much as they want, take this opportunity to rectify the officialdom in the capital." ”

Ma Shiying's eyelids suddenly jumped, and he became more cautious, and said, "Xiaguan, what should you do?" ”

Zhou Zheng took a bite of food and said, "Add fuel to the fire, and push out all the people who should be pushed out." ”

Ma Shi was wise and said, "Yes, the next official will go back and plan." ”

As soon as Zhou Zheng took a bite, he saw that Xiao Ke'er, the little guy, had bent over and reached out to grab a chicken leg, Zhou Zheng gave it to him with chopsticks, and said to Ma Shiying: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate takes this opportunity to also clean up and earnestly fulfill its supervision responsibilities." And to think about the establishment of direct agencies at the provincial and county levels to carry out strict supervision at the local level. ”

Ma Shiying was stunned and said, "My lord, is it set up in the provincial capital and county?" ”

Zhou Zheng fed Xiao Ke'er a sip of tea and said: "Things are done in front, the government is corrupt, and the place is erosive, so we have to think of some countermeasures." ”

Ma Shiying immediately knew in her heart that Zhou Zheng might be brewing a huge reform plan, just like Shandong.

He nodded silently and said, "Yes." ”

Zhou Zheng was talking to Ma Shiying, and Zhou Deke, the little guy, was eating with oil all over his face, and his clothes were also a piece.

Zhou Zheng sighed and said to himself: "You guy will cheat his father, and he will have to be taught a lesson by your mother when he goes back at night." ”

Ma Shiying smiled and didn't move his chopsticks much.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.

Chu Jin came up from below and whispered in Zhou Zheng's ear: "They are all young people, it should be someone who deliberately revealed the location of the adults and deliberately embarrassed these people." ”

"What are they doing?" Zhou Zheng said curiously.

Chu Jin glanced at Ma Shiying and said: "There are rumors outside that the adults have swallowed tens of millions of dollars of silver from the thieves, and the money and food of the imperial court have also been given to the adult's expedition to the Western Army, and it is also the adults who are preventing the imperial court from giving the clan money. ”

Zhou Zheng's brows moved, he wanted to say two words, but these seemed to be deliberately framing his words - in fact, they were all in the middle!

Ma Shiying's face sank, and he stood up and said, "My lord, go and drink them back!" ”

Zhou Zheng took Xiao Ke'er into his arms, wiped his face for him, wiped his hands again, and said casually: "You don't need to go, Chu Jin, find two impulsive ones, and at the right time, start beating people." ”

Ma Shiying's face was shocked, and he said in a panic: "Beat someone? My lord, you must not act rashly now, otherwise the emperor, Yuansuke, and the government and the opposition will all target your ......"

If Zhou Zheng's people really beat these young scholars, Shilin, the government and the opposition will inevitably be in an uproar, which will have a huge blow to Zhou Zheng's reputation, and it is even possible that the government and the opposition will join forces to drive Zhou Zheng to prison!

Zhou Zheng said lightly: "If you don't beat a few people, can more people jump out?" I have worked so hard to weave such a large net, if there are three or two small fish, it will be in vain for my efforts. ”

Ma Shiying's expression moved, still a little afraid, and said, "My lord, this matter is not trivial, you must think twice." One is not good, and we may lose all our efforts! ”

Zhou Zheng wiped Xiao Ke'er clean, looked at it carefully, and said, "Are you still eating?" ”

The little guy chirped his mouth, still unsatisfied, opened his eyes wide, and said, "Eat." ”

Zhou Zheng suddenly smiled and said, "Dad will send you back and let your mother do it for you." ”

The little guy was actually full, but he was very greedy, and his eyes were still looking at the plates on the table.

Ma Shiying saw that Zhou Zheng was no longer talking, his face was full of anxiety, but he couldn't persuade him anymore.

Chu Jin had already turned to go down, and soon there was an angry scream from downstairs.

"Ah, what are you doing?"

"Why are you beating people?"

"Ah, isn't it great to conquer Siber? Why hit someone, let's ask for an explanation! ”

"Quick, report quickly, I'm going to recruit Xibo and beat people!"
