Zhou Zheng listened to Zhou Yanru's four conditions and did not speak immediately.

To put it bluntly, Zhou Yanru's conditions seem to be to reshape the capital, but in fact, they are everywhere to control him.

Shangguan Qing put down the basket in his hand and handed a piece of pastry to Zhou Yanru's little grandson.

The five-year-old little guy looked at Shangguan Qing and said happily, "Thank you, Auntie." ”

Zhou Zheng looked over fiercely and said, "Call grandma." ”

Shangguan Qing turned his head fiercely and stared at Zhou Zheng with a very indifferent look.

Zhou Zheng hurriedly coughed and said, "Our seniority can't be low." ”

Shangguan Qing snorted lightly, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and took care of Xiao Ke'er, who was still drowsy and half-asleep.

It was Zhou Yanru's little grandson, holding the pastry, looking at the three adults with some ignorance, not knowing what to do.

Zhou Yanru touched his head, kept his eyes on Zhou Zheng, and said, "You have to promise me." ”

Zhou Zheng took the water cup handed over by Shangguan Qing, took a sip, and said without sadness or joy: "You should know that I can replace you at any time, or replace you." ”

Zhou Zheng took control of the capital, and with the 'Jinluan Palace Assassination Case' in hand, it was a matter of one sentence to want to take down anyone.

Including the first assistant Zhou Yanru in front of him.

The corners of Zhou Yanru's face were as cold as iron, and he didn't flinch, and said: "Even if you change me and sit on it yourself, you won't be able to do the things that Gao Hongtu said!" ”

"I can set you up, Chen Yan wants to protect himself, Zhang Sizhi wrote a table for Li Zicheng, the household department, the official department, I can get it in a blink of an eye."

Zhou Zheng's expression was flat, and he said: "What I want to do, through them, I can do the same." You are nothing more than a shield to me, whether it is you or someone else, it doesn't matter. ”

Zhou Yanru stared at Zhou Zheng, his eyes were fierce, and said, "Don't forget, there is also the emperor!" Although the emperor is young, he is not so easy to deceive. If the government and the opposition cause a huge wave, the celebrant can completely restrain you. I'm not afraid to tell you that Grandpa Li is my person! ”

The corners of Zhou Zheng's mouth twitched, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Xiao Ke'er woke up at this time, was drinking water, blinked her eyes, and said in a milky voice: "Dad, Father-in-law Li also said that he wanted to send me a water wheel, but he hasn't sent it yet." ”

Shangguan Qing's expression changed slightly and looked at Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng smiled and signaled, it's okay.

Shangguan Qing looked at Zhou Yanru again, his eyes cold. She carried a dagger in her arms, and if something was wrong, she would kill Zhou Yanru to extinguish her mouth.

Shangguan Qing, as Zhou Zheng's pillow person, naturally knew that Li Zhong was Zhou Zheng's person for a long time.

Zhou Yanru quickly noticed it from the words and actions of Shangguan Qing's mother and son, his expression changed in shock, his eyes looked at Zhou Zheng angrily, and all his actions were only to show four words: unbelievable!

He couldn't have imagined that Li Zhong, the old man of Emperor Chongzhen's hidden mansion, would actually be Zhou Zheng's person!

When did it happen, was it the time of the first emperor, or was it recent?

Zhou Zheng looked at Zhou Yanru's expression and said with a smile: "It's earlier than you think." ”

Zhou Yanru forced him to calm down, and his mind was racing.

In this way, the entire capital is really in Zhou Zheng's hands!

Zhou Yanru's eyes flickered urgently, and he didn't know how many thoughts flew over for a while, and blurted out a question: "Do you really just want to be Zhang Juzheng?" ”

Zhou Zheng looked at him and said, "If I want to be Wang Mang, can you stop me?" ”

Zhou Yanru naturally didn't believe this sentence, it would not be this time to be Wang Mang, when Zhou Zheng led the army to repel the thieves, he could do it when he entered Beijing, but now he will fall behind and discuss it with the world.

That's not Wang Mang, that's Dong Zhuo.

Zhou Yanru stared at Zhou Zheng and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhou Zhengdao: "Do what I've always wanted to do, haven't you seen Gao Hongtu, those are the beginning." ”

Zhou Yanru stared at Zhou Zheng with burning eyes, his brows tightened, and the corners of his face kept agitating.

When did the Wenchen of the Ming Dynasty start to want to do something 'rebellious', from Taizu, or Chengzu, or Yingzong?

They want to overthrow the emperor, the emperor will hang his hands on the world, rule by inaction, and hand over the affairs of the world to the scholars.

Or, starting with Zhang Juzheng?

Zhou Yanru's heart turned, and he couldn't think heavily, his face was blue, and he said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Now, it's Zhou Zheng's turn to make conditions.

"First. The emperor studied carefully, did not interfere in politics, and did not see the courtiers without my permission. ”

"Second, I will propose a 'General Program for Reform of the Ming Dynasty' in the Cabinet, set up a 'Yamen of the Prime Minister of Reform Affairs', integrate the powers of the six ministries and nine temples, and set up a prime minister, who will be held by Sun Chuanting and be fully responsible. We all have to support him. ”

"Third, we must be in unison, show the unity of the imperial court, and have a unified attitude towards people and things that oppose innovation."

"Fourth, military affairs are handled by me with full authority, no one is allowed to interfere, and all military orders are from the Western Corridor."

"Fifth, routine government affairs are still handled by you, and major matters require my consent."

……

Zhou Zhengyi said twelve in a row.

Zhou Yanru's old face was wrinkled, staring at Zhou Zheng, his chest rising and falling.

The first one alone was difficult for him to accept.

The emperor is the backbone of the Ming Dynasty, if the courtiers can't see the emperor, wouldn't the world be chaotic?

Zhou Yanru's temples kept jumping, he knew that he was no longer qualified to negotiate with Zhou Zheng, but he still stiffened up and said: "I can promise you the rest, the emperor listens to the government every ten years, and you must agree." Otherwise, even if I die here today, I won't nod! ”

Behind them, followed by a team of guards, all of whom were veterans in the army, Zhou Zheng's cronies and guards for many years.

Zhou Zheng looked at Zhou Yanru's resolute expression and sneered in his heart. This week, Yanru seems to be protecting the emperor, but in fact it is for himself. If the emperor is all set aside, what is the use of him as the first assistant?

As long as the emperor is still there, even if it is only symbolic, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant, can be highlighted, and will not be completely marginalized.

Zhou Zheng shook his head secretly, and said indifferently: "Since you think so, I won't embarrass you." Only you and the six books are not listed. ”

Zhou Yanru breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was really afraid, afraid that Zhou Zheng would insist on going his own way, and he couldn't stop it. At the same time, he was also afraid, afraid that Zhou Zheng would make him blood splash on the spot and die here.

After negotiating these things, the major events are basically settled, and there will be no shocks.

Zhou Yanru's mind relaxed, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he said, "Continue to climb the mountain." ”

Zhou Zheng turned his head to look at Xiao Ke'er and said, "Come, climb the mountain with Dad." ”

The little guy seemed to wake up at this moment, and was very excited about climbing the mountain for the first time, so he took Zhou Zheng's hand and followed Zhou Zheng with a nod.

He glanced at this strange 'uncle' and said in a milky voice: "Dad, what is there on the mountain?" ”

Zhou Zhengdao: "There is a temple on the mountain, let's go and worship." ”

The little guy may vaguely remember that he once followed his mother and aunt to the temple in the city to repay his wishes, oh, and said: "Then, will I have a younger brother, the eldest brother will have it, and I want it too." ”

Zhou Yanru, who was still nervous and had not left, suddenly smiled stiffly when he heard this, and turned his head back to look at the little guy.

Shangguan Qing pursed the corners of his mouth and glared at Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng muttered in his heart, what does this matter matter to me, but he didn't dare to say it, looked at Zhou Yanru and said, "Yuanfu, don't you have anything else to say to the lower officials?" ”
