Zhou Yanru frowned, Zhou Zheng is now hugely prestigious, the government and the opposition are facing each other, if he and Zhou Zheng are stubborn, there may not be a chance of winning.

Zhou Yanru naturally wouldn't let go of the money bag of the household department, although he had already made a draft, he still pretended to be silent, secretly observed Zhou Zheng's expression, and said, "You can recommend a cabinet minister." ”

Zhou Zheng didn't care about the cabinet at all, the county officials were not as good as the current management, of course, the actual power was the most important, but he opened his mouth and said: "Cabinet ministers, there are several candidates for the lower officials, and please ask Yuan Fu to be correct." ”

Zhou Yanru saw that Zhou Zheng had such a big appetite, and said directly: "I can only give you three positions, cabinet ministers, six books, you can choose three." ”

"Five." Zhou Zheng said without blinking.

"Four, no more." Zhou Yanru said.

"Five, one is not less." Zhou Zhengdao.

Zhou Yanru looked at Zhou Zheng, the corners of his face were hard, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were burning.

Zhou Zheng looked at Zhou Yanru, calm and relaxed, his eyebrows calm, and his eyes were bottomless.

Zhou Yanru saw that Zhou Zheng would not give in, paused, and said, "The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, must be in my hands." ”

Zhou just took a moment and said: "Then I still need three waiters, and among the six langs, the ones I appointed before are not counted." ”

The corners of Zhou Yanru's face twitched, and his eyes flashed with annoyance. He was negotiating with Zhou Zheng, but he didn't want Zhou Zheng to give him a notice!

Fortunately, he holds the household department and the official department in his hand, as long as these two are there, the others are easy to discuss.

Zhou Yanru deliberately showed dissatisfaction on his face, and his tone was also a little angry, and said, "I can agree, but you have to listen to me for other things." ”

Zhou Zhengdao: "Military affairs belong to me, government affairs belong to you, and our well water does not interfere with river water." ”

Zhou Yanru naturally refused to give up military affairs, but at the moment, he really had no way to take it by force, and said: "It can be yours for the time being, after the crown prince ascends the throne, it must be decided by the emperor." ”

Zhou Zheng didn't know what this old guy's idea was, Li Zhong had already told him that it was nothing more than because of his alliance with Li Zhong that he could manipulate the little emperor.

Zhou Zheng pretended not to know and said, "Okay." But I want 500,000 dollars of food, and within ten days, I must have it all. ”

Zhou Yanru looked startled, and said angrily: "The thief has just been defeated, where did I raise so much money and food for you?" ”

Zhou Zheng picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said lightly: "I don't care about government affairs, I just need to suppress bandits, and bandits need money and food, if you don't give me money and food, we didn't say what I said just now." ”

Zhou Yan's rude beard curled up one after another, and his face was pale.

Zhou Zheng is clearly blackmail!

Zhou Zheng put down his wine glass, his expression was as usual, but he was as firm as iron.

In fact, Zhou Zheng is not short of money, especially after getting Li Zicheng's huge 'inheritance', although it has not yet been counted, but there are 20 million in silver, and other valuable things such as gold, silver, jewelry, etc., may be as high as nearly 50 million!

With such a large sum of silver, how much grain can be bought!

Zhou Zheng is now unprecedentedly fat, and he doesn't worry about money and food at all!

But he just wants to give Zhou Yanru something to do, this old guy and the people behind him are almost all from Jiangnan, and they are so rich that they can't do it if they don't squeeze a little out?

Zhou Yanru saw that Zhou Zheng insisted, his brows furrowed, and he thought about it, although this money is not a small number, but compared to the words 'the world Zaifu', it is still not worth mentioning, and secretly gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I promise you!" But you have to keep the promise! ”

Zhou Zheng suddenly smiled and said, "Don't worry, Yuanfu, as long as I suppress the bandits, the money and food are in place, and I don't care about the rest." ”

After speaking, Zhou Zheng took out a list from his arms, handed it to Zhou Yanru, and said: "This is the list I have drawn up, I want the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Rites, and the two ministers to stay temporarily." Other officials, all on the list. Shandong, Tianjin Wei, Liaodong, are all my people. ”

Zhou Yanru saw that Zhou Zheng had already drawn up the list, his brows furrowed, looked at the dozens of people on the list, and made sure that Zhou Zheng did not have the idea of hitting the household department and the ministry, his heart was a little relaxed, and he said lightly: "Then this matter is decided, and I will do the other things." ”

Other things Zhou Yanru said, in fact, the most important thing is the enthronement ceremony, if Zhou Yanru presides over the enthronement ceremony, he is the first hero of the new dynasty, the first auxiliary throne, as stable as Mount Tai!

With Li Zhong's assistance, the space he can manipulate is too great, and almost the entire Daming is in his hands!

Although he has now agreed to Zhou Zheng's requests, he is thinking in his heart that after the enthronement ceremony, he will be able to slowly cut off Zhou Zheng's military power and prestige, and completely control all the power!

Now is no more than the early years of Wanli, he can go further than Zhang Juzheng and have more power!

Truly do one person under ten thousand people!

Thinking of this, Zhou Yanru's heart was surging, and a flush appeared on his old face.

Zhou Zheng looked at Zhou Yanru's irrepressible expression, and mocked in his heart, this old man was completely immersed in the dream of power and couldn't extricate himself.

Zhou Yanru quickly suppressed his emotions, and laughed with Zhou Zheng with a spring breeze on his face, this time he was really joking, completely letting go, and relaxed.

Where did Zhou Zheng have time to talk with him, after a glass of wine, he took out another piece of paper and said: "In addition to the enthronement ceremony, it is to reward the meritorious heroes, this is the list of some generals who recovered Beijing and defeated the thieves this time, and please take a look at Yuanfu." ”

Zhou Yanru's expression did not move, his eyes flashed vigilantly, what he was most worried about now was Zhou Zheng's military power, Zhou Zheng was going to reward his subordinates, how could he not worry Zhou Yanru.

Zhou Yanru looked down at the list, and his expression gradually became solemn.

On the list, Lu Xiangsheng was added to the rank of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, the crown prince Taibao, and the prime minister of the five northwestern provinces. Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao, Cao Bianjiao, Cao Wenzhao, Jin Guoqi and others were all promoted, respectively appointed as chief military officers in Shanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Sichuan, etc., as well as General Zhengxi, General Zhennan, General Pingliao and other titles, their status was greatly improved, and their military power was also expanded.

In short, the military power of the five northwestern provinces is firmly controlled by Zhou Zheng's subordinates!

In addition, Zhang Heyi, the right attendant of the military department, commanded the defense of the capital and was in charge of all soldiers and horses except for the forbidden army.

Shangguan Lie served as the commander of the forbidden army and guarded the Forbidden City.

And Shandong, Tianjin Wei, and Liaodong's military generals are also impressively listed.

Zhou Yanru's eyes flickered, and he became more and more vigilant in his heart, he didn't realize it before, but now he was terrified, Zhou Zheng's power was so great unconsciously?

Liaodong, Tianjin Wei, Shandong became his territory?

Zhou Yanru's expression instantly returned to calm, put down the list, raised his head and said, "I won't agree." ”

Zhou Zheng knew that Zhou Yanru would not agree, but he didn't care whether he would agree or not, and said: "It's just sooner or later, it's better to agree later than to agree early." ”

Zhou Yanru thought that he had formed an alliance with Li Zhong, and Zhou Zheng's road in the palace had been blocked, so he did not directly conflict with Zhou Zheng, and said: "I can't be the master of this matter, I need the consent of the courtiers, and the new emperor will allow it." ”

Zhou Zheng picked up the wine glass with a smile on his face and said, "What Yuanfu said is true." ”

Zhou Yanru looked at Zhou Zheng, followed by picking up the wine glass, and was very vigilant. He has decided to grasp the situation as soon as possible, not only will he not agree to Zhou Zheng's requests, but he will also reduce Zhou Zheng's military power as much as possible.

Zhou Yanru didn't know that while they were talking, Li Zhong entered the room of the crown prince Zhu Cihong with a notebook with similar content to Zhou Zheng's list.
