Qian Qianyi sat in Zhou Zheng's room, with a solemn face and solemn eyes.

He said: "Zheng Xibo, it's not that I want to provoke a fight, it's that Li Juesi deceives people too much, and Yuan Fu is obviously biased." The situation of the court, which has finally calmed down, should work together to change the law and seek benefits for the people, but these people, who are consumed by the desire for power, continue to provoke fights, which is really the sorrow of the court......"

Zhou Zheng listened to his grievances and lamentations, his expression did not move, and said: "I believe that Yuanfu is fair, and he will not embarrass the ministers because of unwarranted things." ”

Qian Qianyi paid attention to Zhou Zheng's expression and said: "Zheng Xibo, now it has reached a last resort, if it continues like this, the cabinet may change, and the six ministries will also be unstable, which will affect the overall situation." ”

Zhou Zheng saw that he began to buckle his hat, tilted his head slightly to look at him, and said, "Elder Qian Ge, I heard that you gave advice to some people in Nanzhili, and you boycotted the dynasty and stopped it?" ”

Qian Qianyi's face turned straight, and he said in a deep voice: "Rumors! Conquer Xibo, this is definitely a rumor, Qian Mou is absolutely in favor of changing the law, and he also donated acres of land not long ago, expressing his attitude, don't listen to the rumors with ill intentions outside......"

Zhou Zheng's heart suddenly understood, it turned out that this land donation was a foreshadowing.

Zhou Zheng looked at him and said, "Qian Ge Lao, I'm afraid this is not enough, I want to ask Qian Ge Lao to go to Nanzhili." You also know that Lu Daqi has now become the target of the world, and the court is secretive and needs support. ”

Qian Qianyi's eyes struggled, for the sake of his position as a minister, his heart was ruthless, and he said in a deep voice: "What Zheng Xibo said is true." Changing the law is related to the well-being of the community and the well-being of all the people, and as a minister, he should be an example! Three days later, Qian personally went to the platform for Governor Lu and made every effort to promote Nanzhili's reform. ”

Zhou Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "I am very pleased with Qian Ge's attitude. It's noon, let's go out for dinner and have a good chat? ”

Qian Qianyi looked overjoyed, and said with a smile: "How can you let Xibo break the bank, this time, Qian Mou came to invite." ”

As he spoke, they got up and walked outside side by side.

The two generally walked, talking and laughing, and turned to the west gate of Chang'an.

I don't know how many pairs of eyes there are in the cabinet compound, and when I saw the two people who didn't move around much on weekdays, they suddenly talked and laughed, and they immediately spread everywhere.

Li Juesi and others rushed to Zhou Yanru's room almost immediately to inquire about the situation.

Zhou Yanru's expression was flat, and he looked at Li Juesi and said, "What can't you see?" Zheng Xibo did not want the cabinet to be chaotic. ”

Li Juesi said: "Yuanfu, this is not a question of chaos or not, it is Qian Qianyi's wings that are stiff, and he wants to coerce the Restoration Society and stand between you and Zheng Xibo." ”

The reason why Li Juesi went to Qian Qianyi, in addition to blocking his way to the cabinet, is also the relationship between Qian Qianyi and the Restoration Society, many of the previous actions were too obvious and a little 'inflated'.

Zhou Yanru had already dismembered the Restoration Society, he didn't care at all, drank a cup of tea indifferently, and said: "Regarding the matter of increasing the number of ministers, I will talk to Zheng Xibo in the afternoon, it has only been half a year since the change of yuan, and I can only endure it." ”

Li Juesi took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and said, "Yes, Xiaguan is a little impatient. ”

Zhou Yanru nodded, thought about it in his heart, and said: "Zheng Xibo's side is under the banner of changing the law, even though it has caused a lot of opposition, but there is also a lot of praise, we can't just look at it. Both the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs must do something to win the hearts and minds of the people. ”

In Li Juesi's opinion, this is Zhou Yanru asking him to gain prestige and win support, and hurriedly said: "Yes, keep in mind the lower officials." ”

At the same time, Zhou Zheng and Qian Qianyi were eating in a restaurant, and the two were drinking wine and talking about it.

Zhou Zheng looked leisurely and said: "The problem of Nanzhili, one is land, the other is in taxation, as long as these two aspects are solved, other things can be alleviated in turn, and slowly eradicated......"

Qian Qianyi knew that his exchange this time had to make a lot of effort, he had already been tied to Zhou Zhengyi's department, if he didn't make a difference, without Zhou Yanru's help, Zhou Zheng would be able to send him home to care for the elderly.

Qian Qianyi did not hesitate, and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, taxes, and acres of land, Qian can still help, this time I will go to Nanzhili, and I will definitely not return in vain." ”

Zhou Zheng smiled and picked up the wine glass and had a drink with Qian Qianyi.

Qian Qianyi is the former leader of Donglin, and his influence in Jiangnan is huge, if he comes forward to stand on the platform, many things in Lu Daqi will become easier, especially for Lu Daqi, and the opposition of the governor of Nanzhili will drop a lot.

The two said a lot of things, and Zhou Zheng's request, Qian Qianyi almost accepted it all.

When the time came, Zhou Zheng and Qian Qianyi hurriedly returned to the cabinet compound and went to Zhou Yanru's room.

Zhou Yanru smelled the faint smell of wine on the two of them, and his face was expressionless.

Zhou Zheng drank tea and said straight to the point: "Yuanfu, something is not right." ”

Zhou Yanru knew what Zhou Zheng meant, and said, "I have asked Li Juesi to release the people, and I didn't leave anything." ”

Zhou Zheng listened and glanced at Qian Qianyi.

Qian Qianyi hurriedly said: "I'll let them go later, I didn't do anything." ”

Zhou Yanru didn't look at him, picked up the teacup, and said to Zhou Zheng: "What do you think about the matter of the ministers?" ”

Zhou Zheng held the teacup, thought for a while, and said: "You still can't be too anxious, if the cabinet is under pressure, give Qian Ge Lao, Li Ge Lao the burden, and Yang Ge Lao will also return to Beijing before the end of the year." Leave it alone this year and see how it goes next year. ”

In fact, Zhou Yanru also thinks the same, he doesn't want too many cabinet members, scatter his power, and make many things out of control.

After being silent for a while, Zhou Yanru said: "What are you going to do about Horqin?" ”

Zhou Zhengdao: "Let's take another look, we are very unfamiliar with the situation outside the gate, and the cavalry also needs to be honed." My main purpose is twofold, one is to put pressure on Mongolia and Jianjiao. Second, it is to train troops, and at the right opportunity, I will send troops to Horqin to deter the Mongolian tribes and cut off the last arm of the Jianyu. ”

Zhou Yanru carefully scrutinized and said, "Well, this is the best." In addition, when will the Ministry of Officials, the Jingcha on the side of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, end? ”

The so-called 'Jingcha' is the assessment of hundreds of officials in the world by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Officials, and once completed, there will be considerable transfers. At the beginning, Zhao Nanxing deposed more than 400 people at once!

Zhou Yanru was very worried, and Zhou Zheng took this opportunity to sweep away those who opposed the change from their official positions.

Zhou Zheng sighed and said, "I didn't pay attention to this, go back and ask." ”

Zhou Yanru stared at Zhou Zheng and said, "Some people can't move. ”

Zhou Zheng had already guessed that Zhou Yanru was going to say these words, and said, "As long as you don't stand in my way, I won't bother to care." Of course, if he stops me, I'll change him to a suitable position. ”

"I'll arrange it."

Zhou Yanru was worried that Zhou Zheng was engaged in the set of bright ascension and secret descent, so he said directly: "The specific list will be given to me, and I will dispose of it after I agree." ”

Zhou Zheng didn't care, anyway, if he wanted to send someone away, Zhou Yanru couldn't stop him, but the favor had to be sent out, so it was difficult for a moment and said, "Okay." I'm sure Motosuke won't embarrass me. ”

Zhou Yanru smiled and slowly picked up the teacup.
