The little guy didn't feel it, his eyes were wide open, and he looked at Zhou Zheng's class.

Zhou Zheng looked at him for a while, and then began to look through the official documents on the table.

These official documents came from all over the Ming Dynasty, from Liaodong in the north, to Yunnan in the south, from Nanzhili in the east to Gansu Town, almost all of them.

Those who report the military situation, those who ask for orders, those who ask for money and food, and those who ask for pensions, all kinds of situations are very complicated, and Zhou Zheng frowned after looking at it for a while, and his head ached.

Many situations are too complicated, and they cannot be solved by simply money or bandits, and they involve deeper problems, not to mention the Ministry of War, and even the cabinet is powerless.

Zhou Zheng looked at it, some directly approved, and some wrote 'turn', which meant to turn to Shangshu Yang Sichang's class.

Zhou Zheng's class room has people coming and going from time to time, Zhou Zheng still looks up in front to deal with it, and he doesn't raise his head directly in the back, answering smoothly.

I don't know how long it took, Zhou Zheng looked up and looked at the chair not far away, Xiao Deshen was no longer there.

In the military department, Zhou Zheng was not worried about his safety, looked outside, and continued to bow his head to do things.

When it was almost noon, suddenly there was a loud laugh outside, and Yang Sichang strode in.

Zhou Zheng looked up, and saw that Yang Sichang didn't have the fierce color he had seen before, but smiled slowly, and he was still holding Xiao Deshen in his hand.

Zhou Zheng was slightly nervous in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward, took Xiao Deshen, quietly pulled him behind him, and said with a smile: "Let Lord Yang see it, there is something to go back to his parents' house, and there is no one to take the child, so I have to bring it over, and let someone send it back later." ”

Yang Sichang waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's nothing strange, it's a very obedient child, don't get in the way, come and eat another pastry." ”

Yang Sichang said, handing a plate in his hand to Xiao Deshen.

Only then did Zhou Zheng notice that Yang Sichang had been holding a plate in his hand.

Xiao Deshen blinked and looked up at Zhou Zheng.

Yang Sichang stuffed in front of Xiao Deshen and said, "Come, eat." ”

Zhou Zheng looked at Yang Sichang's expression, lowered his head and smiled with Xiao Deshen, and said, "Uncle gave it to you, take it." ”

The little guy timidly reached out to take it, looked at Yang Sichang, and slowly put it into his mouth.

Yang Sichang had more smiles on his face and said, "Is it delicious?" Uncle Na still has it, if you want to eat it, go to Uncle Na, don't be afraid of life. ”

The little guy didn't seem to understand, and looked up at Zhou Zheng again.

Zhou Zheng touched his head and said, "Let's go outside and play." ”

The little guy had food in his hand and walked slowly outside.

Yang Sichang looked at his back and said with emotion: "It's better to be a child, there are not so many worries." ”

Zhou Zheng knew that Yang Sichang would not just come to see the child, and said directly: "What happened?" ”

Yang Sichang glanced at him and said, "Li Hongji was recommended as the new king, gathered all the armies, and supported tens of thousands of soldiers, and the momentum was huge. ”

Li Hongji, that is, Li Zicheng.

Yang Sichang and Zhou Zheng, except for differences in views on the Northwest Rebellion, do not have any deep hatred, so there is still a basic face-saving relationship

Zhou Zhenggang came back from the northwest, knew the situation in the northwest, pondered for a moment, and said: "Li Zicheng is okay to say, he is currently trapped in Shaanxi. Zhang Xianzhong was frustrated in Sichuan, and is currently entrenched in Huguang, and the northwest can go to Guizhou, Sichuan, and Shaanxi; The southeast can enter Yunnan, South Zhili, Jiangxi, Henan, he is the most dangerous. ”

Yang Sichang seemed to be worried that Zhou Zheng would say the key words of purging and suppressing, and said directly: "I am ready to mobilize the governors, prime ministers, governors, and general soldiers of the five northwestern provinces, plus Yunnan, Henan, Jiangxi and other soldiers and horses, to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and spread the net on all sides!" ”

Zhou Zheng thought in his heart, knowing that this matter could not be completed in a short time, at least Chongzhen's approval had to be obtained, and it would take time for money, food, and the deployment of people from all walks of life, so he was silent for a moment and said: "This is the authority of Lord Yang, and the lower officials will not do it." Xiaguan was worried about Liaodong, and wanted to purge Liaodong, Tianjinwei, and Denglai, and then push further northward to reduce the scope of Jianyu's activities. ”

Yang Sichang knew Zhou Zheng's past, knew that he had spent most of his time in these three places for so many years, and had been fighting against Jianyu, so he thought about it for a while, and said: "This matter really can't be relaxed, you write a good note, and after I read it, I will hand it over to you to supervise." ”

"Master Xie." Zhou Zheng raised his hand a little politely.

It is not an exchange of interests, it is a kind of acquiescence of Yang Sichang to the division of military affairs. With Zhou Zheng in charge of the affairs of Jianyu, he can also concentrate on dealing with the Northwest Liukou.

Yang Sichang saw that Zhou Zheng didn't cause him trouble, so he also laughed and said: "Your son is good, although he has some recognition, but he doesn't cringe, he walks around in the military department, it's very cute, it's okay to bring more, the military department is too dull, there is a child, and it is more relaxed." ”

Regarding Yang Sichang's overtures, Zhou Zheng took them all and said with a smile: "It's good that adults don't blame." ”

Yang Sichang suddenly smiled, and the two tacitly reached a tacit understanding.

……

Zhou Zheng took office in the military department for four days, handled a lot of things, and gradually sorted out the relationship between the military department. However, Chen Xinjia, the left waiter, has never seen him, because he went out of Beijing to rectify the military affairs of Xuanda and other places.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, October 19, the court meeting.

Exit from the military headquarters, enter the Daming Gate, walk all the way, and enter the Qianqing Gate.

Zhou Zheng is also a person who has been to the court a few times, but this time he feels very different.

At the beginning, he was the little imperial history of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, standing at the very end, and he couldn't see the big people in front of him clearly, but now the big people are around him, and he can see clearly, but the figures behind him can't see clearly.

Zhou Zheng was standing behind Yang Sichang, and there were squires in front and back, and there were several ministers in front of him.

Yang Sichang hugged the banwat, occasionally talked to people, and whispered to Zhou Zheng the rest of the time.

"The main thing today, which is the matter of apportionment, should be aimed at the officials of Nanzhili." Yang Sichang said.

Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "I also heard about it, I'm afraid that Yuanfu won't be able to stop it." ”

Yang Sichang glanced at Wen Tiren at the front and said, "I heard that it was the one who made the move and wanted to recover." ”

The 'that' Yang Sichang said refers to the former first assistant Zhou Yanru.

Recently, the wind of the great revival of the forest in the south of the Yangtze River, especially the movement of the Fushe is very great, with the responsibility of 'the sages of Fudonglin', each party is less than hundreds, more than thousands, between walking, the clothes are fluttering, alarming half of the city.

The court was shocked, and the sea was watching.

Zhou Zheng knew that Zhou Yanru in history had indeed made a comeback, but this time, Zhou Zheng would not allow it, and said softly: "I'm afraid it's difficult, and we're not easy people, it's not so easy to fall." ”

Yang Sichang snorted and said, "Let's sit and watch later, and see where the wind goes." ”

Zhou Zheng answered silently, looking at Wen Tiren curiously.

If you talk about the Ming Dynasty, it is really changeable and unpredictable, even those who are deep in it can't figure out the direction. Almost every month, there are cabinet ministers, six scholars, squires, etc. are dismissed, sent to the office, and imprisoned, with such frequent changes, no one is an officialdom tumbler, let alone anyone can control the court situation!
