For tomorrow's court, Zhou Zheng already knew from Li Hengbing's mouth, but he didn't expect his efficiency to be so fast.

Zhou Zheng waved away Yao Tongshun as usual, sat on the chair, and studied the impeachment recital of Li Hengbing and others.

The impeachment of Li Hengbing and others is relatively reasonable, either because of Zhou Zheng's own defects in entering the office, running a cheap business, or it is the case that is thousands of miles away.

Li Hengbing and others did not say that he was 'arrogant to invite fame', let alone that he was arrogant and unashamed to discuss state affairs.

Zhou Zheng nodded secretly, Li Hengbing has not gone out of line, everything is still abiding by the rules, and he has never maliciously framed or wantonly planted false accusations.

Zhou Zhengzai studied carefully, from beginning to end, over and over again, trying to find flaws in it.

But even if Li Hengbing was angry, he still didn't go out of line, he didn't lose his mind, and there was no flaw in the playbook.

"Looks like we'll have to think of something else." Zhou Zheng closed the recital and whispered to himself.

On this day, Zhou Zheng's class room was very quiet, no one disturbed him, and the meals were all sent to the class room by Yao Tongshun.

When it was time to get off work, everywhere they passed, they were all glaring angrily, and many people couldn't help but want to rush up and beat Zhou Zheng, but they were all stopped.

If there was no one next to Zhou, he got off work as usual, first went to Zhouji, and then walked around Zhou's teeth.

Business will inevitably be affected, but fortunately, the problem is not big, and it is still profitable every day.

Shangguanxun has returned to Suzhou and Hangzhou, and it is believed that a large amount of silver will enter Zhou Zheng's pocket after the year.

After that, Zhou Zheng went back to Zhou's house, and in the evening, the father and son of the Zhou family sat around for dinner, and Zhou Zheng said the things about the court tomorrow morning.

Zhou Qingli's face flashed solemnly, and then said lightly: "Well, you can just think about it." ”

Zhou Zheng hummed and didn't say anything more.

Zhou Fang wanted to speak and stopped, perhaps because he felt the solemnity on the dinner table, he kept his head and didn't make a sound.

Zhou Zheng glanced at him, saw the loneliness and depression on his face, and knew what he had experienced, but he couldn't comfort him with anything.

In the officialdom, which one is not seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, protecting oneself wisely, and talking about justice, morality, courtesy, righteousness and shame?

Those who talk about this have long since lost their bones.

After eating, Zhou Zheng went back to the study, reading and practicing calligraphy as usual.

Liu Liuzhen lingered at the door for a while, but still came in, stood in front of Zhou Zheng's desk, and said with a raised face: "Second young master, the master is washing his official uniform, which is the one that has been hanging in his study." ”

Zhou Zheng looked up at him, was silent for a while, and nodded: "Well, I know." ”

Liu Liuzhen looked at Zhou Zheng, and said again for a long time: "Second young master, can you resign?" ”

Zhou Zheng was stunned, looked up at him, saw that his eyes were a little red, took a deep breath, and said, "I can't hide." ”

This matter has a beginning, and Zhou Zheng can't help but retreat. What's more, the civil unrest is gradually rising, and the survival of the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner, where else can Zhou Zheng retreat?

Could it be that more than ten years later, they broke their knees together, bowed to the master of Jianyu, and became slaves for a lifetime?

Liu Liuzhen naturally couldn't understand Zhou Zheng's mood, pursed the corners of his mouth, hummed heavily, and turned to go out.

Zhou Zheng looked at his back, frowned, turned his head to look at the official uniform hanging on his side, paused for a while and suddenly walked over, took it off, took the towel again, and wiped it carefully.

I don't know how long it took, Zhou Zheng looked at this official uniform, and said softly with a quiet gaze: "I like to stand." ”

……

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhou Zheng dressed neatly, did not eat breakfast, and went straight out of the house.

Many people in the Zhou family got up very early to see Zhou Zheng's back.

Zhou Qingli, Fu Bo, Zhou Fang, Liu Liuzhe, Shangguan Qing, etc., their expressions are different, and they all have the same condensation.

It was not the first time that Zhou Zheng had gone to the court, and when he arrived at the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he ordered Mao, lined up, stood behind Li Hengbing, waited for time, and entered the palace with the large army.

Hu Qingzheng didn't dare to speak this time, and honestly stood on Zhou Zheng's left hand side, not squinting.

In the dark night, he couldn't see Li Hengbing's expression clearly, he held his hands, and was sleeping like last time.

Not long after, the bell rang, and the adults of the Metropolitan Inspectorate came out from behind, lighting lanterns, and walked calmly, and the footsteps were inaudible and inaudible.

Li Hengbing, Hu Qingzheng, and Zhou Zheng followed in turn, and Zhou Zheng noticed that this time it was not Jiangxi Province that went to court together, but Huguang Road.

Zhou Zheng didn't know him, and he walked silently all the way to the palace.

Just like last time, Zhou Zheng and the others moved to the front of the Imperial Palace step by step according to the time.

There is a superintendent Yushi who is responsible for picketing the instrument, but this time no one embarrassed Zhou Zheng, and he entered the hall all the way unimpeded.

The apocalypse had not yet come, and the atmosphere in the hall did not seem to be as solemn as outside, and there were many people talking in low voices.

Li Hengbing stood in front of Zhou Zheng, he didn't say a word, he held his hands, squinted his eyes, and was quiet.

They are the lowest-ranking Overseers, and they can only be found in a corner away from the dragon chair.

Hu Qingzheng's small eyes kept blinking, looking straight ahead, never daring to glance at Zhou Zheng, let alone a word, a hint.

Zhou Zheng held his breath and concentrated, there was no sound, waiting quietly.

At this time, someone suddenly came over, looked directly at Zhou Zheng, and said with a lesson: "You are Zhou Zhengyun?" Let me ask you, you said that the land of Liaoxi cannot be abandoned, then I ask you, Jianyu already knows that I am in the void and reality, if I come back, I will attack with all my strength, how to defend it? Are you sure you'll be able to hold it? If you can't hold it, do you know how much food you will lose and how many people will die? ”

In the eyes of the Ming court, Yuan Chonghuan held Ningyuan as a fluke, Liaodong was rotten, and Jianyu's combat strength was strong, and if he was lucky enough to hold it once, he would definitely not be able to hold it a second time!

This is the thoughts and opinions of many people in the hall, and when someone asks, many people's eyes look at Zhou Zheng.

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, who didn't know that Zhou Zheng stopped the eunuch party, Donglin rescued Wang Huazhen, and who didn't know that Zhou Zheng had a recital about the thorough reform of Liaodong?

Some mock, some disdainful, some harsh, some warned, some indifferent, some calm...... There were only more than sixty people in the main hall, but it seemed that the expressions of the whole world could be seen here.

Zhou Zheng looked up at the person in front of him, his expression did not move, and said, "Where does the adult official live?" ”

This person snorted coldly and said, "Guo Yunhou, the left attendant of the official household department." ”

Zhou Zheng didn't expect that he was still an adult, according to the replacement speed of the six Shangshu of the Ming Dynasty, it wouldn't take long for this person to be ranked as a court official, and maybe even enter the cabinet.

Zhou Zheng was silent for a moment and said, "Presumably, adults often have taxes that can't be collected, so don't you just don't want them?" Don't be in a hurry to refute, don't talk about the importance of the Liaoxi Corridor. Just talking about this kind of behavior of abandoning the land at will, where is the majesty of my Ming Dynasty, and where is the prestige of heaven? Jianyu's arrogance will inevitably become more arrogant, and he will despise me more and more. Without the Liaoxi Corridor, Shanhaiguan is the last gateway of the Beijing Division, more like a gong and drum...... My lord, think about that picture, are you sure you can stand such a fear and fear? ”

Guo Yunhou was speechless by Zhou Zheng's series of words, and most importantly, Zhou Zheng preset an extremely terrible consequence!

If Jianyu really gets the Liaoxi Corridor and attacks Shanhaiguan from time to time, how will the life of the capital live?

If, if the Shanhaiguan Pass is broken, it will be like walking straight to the capital, and there will be no more obstacles!

"Hmph, clever words!" Guo Yunhou flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

The people in the hall glanced at Zhou Zheng, and no one spoke again. Zhou Zheng's words naturally couldn't touch them.

If, after all, it's if.

Li Hengbing's face was expressionless, his body leaned back, and he said in a low voice: "This kind of method can't win against me." ”

Zhou Zheng was just about to speak, the side door above His Majesty Dan opened, and an inner eunuch walked out, looked down and shouted: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
