Assassins suddenly appeared, and the huge Temple of Heaven was in a panic.

Not to mention Zhu Cihong, even Zhou Yanru and others were panicked and shouted loudly to arrest the assassin.

For many people, a long time has passed, in fact, Li Zicheng or Fail, it was only a few months ago, there are more parties in the capital, that is the most normal, there is no strange is not!

Li Banghua, Yang Sichang and others were also present, watching the guards attack everywhere to capture the man in black, their expressions were solemn and a little weird.

How can anyone be assassinated in broad daylight, dressed in black, and heavily defended?

This doesn't make sense.

Not long after, Zhang Heyi stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the remnants of the thieves are arrogant, and they dare to come to the Temple of Heaven to assassinate, and they can't tolerate it. ”

Zhu Cihong was already frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "Investigate, no one is allowed to be let go!" ”

Liu Liuzhen strode out of the ranks, raised his hand and said: "The minister will cast a net of heaven and earth, clear the remnants of the thieves, and return my Ming hunger and brightness!" ”

Zhu Cihong looked at Liu Liuzhen and was stunned, and he couldn't react at once, and he didn't know what to say.

However, Zhou Yanru and the others woke up, this is just a reason that Zhou Zheng needs, in broad daylight, where will any assassins come to the Temple of Heaven to assassinate?

The expression of the person who saw it was solemn, but there was no way to refute it.

In any case, the ritual could not go on, and Shangguan Lie took the guards to escort Zhu Cihong and many civil and military ministers from the Temple of Heaven and returned to the palace.

Zhou Yanru and Zhou Zheng followed side by side, and the others were further behind.

Zhou Yanru said lightly: "Tomorrow, Li Banghua and Yang Sichang will enter the cabinet." At the first meeting of the Cabinet, the powers and responsibilities of the six ministries, nine monasteries and localities will be reorganized, and the governors and governors of the thirteen provinces will be appointed. After the year of the change, the emperor will issue a decree to change the law. ”

Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "The new barracks outside Xizhimen City, you will let someone take over tomorrow." As for next year's budget, I have asked the household department to do it, and no matter what, I will give you an extra 500,000 yuan. ”

Zhou Yanru followed the flow of people with an immobile expression, and said, "Are you sure to let Lu Xiangsheng take over as the governor of Jiliao?" ”

Zhou Zheng glanced around and said, "There is no suitable position for him for the time being, so let's make a transition first and let him take over as the secretary of the military department." ”

Zhou Yanru listened to Zhou Zheng's words, frowned, and said, "Lu Xiangsheng is coming back soon, your expedition to the West Corridor, should be withdrawn?" ”

Zhou Zheng smiled in his heart and said quietly: "Yang Sichang is in charge of the military reform, I withdraw the expedition to the West Corridor, how should I deal with myself?" ”

Zhou Yanru seemed to have a draft, and said: "You are still a soldier and a minister, and no one can shake your status." ”

Although Zhou Yanru said this, Yu Guang kept staring at Zhou Zheng.

If Zhou Zheng withdrew from the West Corridor and lost the 'legitimacy' of suppressing bandits, then his position would be very embarrassing, with Zhou Yanru on top and Yang Sichang on top, as if he was dispensable.

Zhou Zheng didn't know Zhou Yanru's thoughts, it was nothing more than wanting to weaken Zhou Zheng's power and influence 'normally'.

Zhou Zheng pretended to be silent for a while, and said, "Okay, but next year's Enke, I'll preside over it." ”

Zhou Yanru wrinkled his eyebrows, thinking about it in his heart, but he was still tempted by the interests in front of him, and said, "Okay." ”

Zhou Zheng glanced at Zhou Yanru with a smile and said, "Xie Yuanfu." ”

Zhou Yanru didn't speak again, the year was coming to an end, there were too many things, and he and Zhou Zheng needed too much exchange of interests to maintain balance and ensure the harmony of the new dynasty.

A large crowd of people came from all directions, and the people already knew that the assassin was present, and they were even more talkative and noisy than when they came.

Shangguan Lie escorted Zhu Cihong into the palace, and he stayed outside the Qianqing Gate and did not step inside.

Without waiting for everyone to be shocked, the edict of 'purging the assassins' was sent to the cabinet, requiring the three divisions of the Yamen, Jinyiwei, Dongchang and others to work together to eradicate all the remnants of the thieves in the capital and the whole Ming Dynasty, and restore peace to the world.

Among the three divisions, in addition to the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple are all moving, not to mention Jinyiwei and Dongchang, the search for 'rebels' in the capital is full of arrests, and the remnants of the thieves are arrested and the same party.

After Kedao, a large number of officials in the capital were arrested again, and the number was as high as three hundred!

In the huge capital, there was a lot of rumors, and some scholars who took the exam and re-examined were also arrested, and all of them were imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department.

Among them, if anyone pleads, defends, or writes to defend themselves, all of them are classified as 'fellow party' or 'suspected', and they will be arrested first.

Zhou Yanru and his family were all silent, and none of them came out, and all the lobbyists who came to the door were gone.

Yang Sichang, Li Banghua, Liu Zongzhou, Tian Zhenshu and others of the third-party forces knew very well, and they did not interfere and sat back and watched the development of the situation.

In the evening, in the small living room of the Zhou Mansion.

Sun Chuanting, Liu Liuzhe and Zhou Zheng had dinner together, and by the way, they talked about today's events.

Liu Liuzhen has been in the Zhou family since he was a child, and he didn't have so many restraints, so he said while eating: "Second young master, I've caught them all, there are few fish that have slipped through the net, and I'll look for them again tomorrow, they are all against our law change and innovation, and they have been dancing recently." ”

Sun Chuanting became more and more mature, eating slowly and logically, and his words were cautious, and said: "The screening of officials in the capital is almost complete, there are more than a hundred people who are credible and available, and I am starting to arrange suitable positions for them." I am also optimistic about the ones who are not in the first place, and I hope that they can ...... high school every year."

Zhou Zheng was eating, nodded and said: "It's actually easy to say here in the capital, after all, under our noses, what I care about most is Nan Zhili." The innovation of the Ming Dynasty, if Nanzhili can be successful, then the entire Ming Dynasty will become more than half, and the focus is there. ”

Liu Liuzhen wiped his mouth and said: "Li Banghua, Jiang Guangyue, Chen An, plus Zhang Yitan, is enough to suppress Nan Zhili, so there will be no mess, if not, after a few days of cooking in the capital, I will go in person." ”

Zhou Zheng shook his head and said: "It's no problem to solve some people and control Nanzhili, the key is innovation." Nanzhili is the essence of my Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, and if you want to pry here, it is difficult to climb to the sky. ”

Sun Chuanting nodded lightly and said: "Nanjing's imperial palace, six departments and nine temples, and even military power, plus the network with the local government, as well as contributing more than half of the money and grain to the imperial court, and sixty percent of the court officials come from Nanzhili, any rash move, the entire imperial court has to be nervous, not just resistance......

The complexity of Nan Zhili will exceed their expectations.

Zhou Zheng took a sip of soup and said, "What else do you think about the candidate for the governor of Nanzhili?" ”

Sun Chuanting said: "Lu Daqi is a person who is confused in small things and shrewd in big things, the only thing he lacks is that he is a little ruthless, and he needs to be equipped with a courageous assistant." ”

Zhou Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Hmm." Other things must be stepped up, especially the Da Ming Law and various laws, which will be promulgated one after another after the Yuan is changed next year. Especially in the tax law, everything is not good without money, so start with the tax law. ”

Sun Chuanting sat up straight and said, "Yes!" ”
