On the second day after Zhou Fang's family returned, Zhou Qingli also returned.

The Zhou family gathered in the back hall, laughing and laughing.

Xiao Jingyi, Xiao Dewei sat on Zhou Qingli's lap, and said in a greasy voice: "Grandpa, do my clothes look good?" ”

This is the clothes that Zhou Zheng gave them, tight-fitting, warm, and so kind of 'heroic'.

Zhou Qingli smiled and said, "It's good-looking." ”

The two little guys' faces were excited, and they said, "The second uncle made it for us, and there is a night pearl, which is warm at night, so comfortable......"

Zhou Qingli is very doting on her two grandsons, and she should be compatible with everything.

After waiting for a while, Zhou Fang said, "Dad, there's nothing to do on the road, right?" ”

Zhou Qingli took a snack to Xiao Jingyu and said, "It's okay, it's a little bit around." ”

Now the Ming Dynasty is full of bandits, and even places like Hangzhou can have civil unrest and mutiny, Jiangxi, Henan and other places can be imagined.

Zhou Qingli said, glanced at Zhou Zheng, and did not break the matter that Zhou Zheng sent people to follow him.

Zhou Fang became more and more calm, and said, "That's good." The second brother's marriage is almost over, Mr. Jinghu invited by the witness, and the guests are also as simple as possible, and there are still some things that need to be handled by you. ”

Zhou Qingli smiled and said: "Well, I will go to lie down in the official house tomorrow and settle everything, the marriage will be set on the sixth day of next year, I will decide the guests, and let Fu Bo and your daughter-in-law arrange the rest." ”

Zhou Fang nodded with a smile when he heard this, and said, "Okay." ”

After Zhou Fang finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "Do you have any special arrangements or special guests?" ”

Zhou Zheng thought for a while and said, "No, everything is simple." ”

Zhou Fangdao: "Okay, then I'll let your sister-in-law arrange it with Fu Bo." ”

Zhou Ding said with a smile: "The Shangguan family doesn't have any special requirements, so they can rest assured." ”

The family talked about Zhou Zheng's marriage, and after a while, Zhou Ding took the two little guys away, leaving three fathers and sons.

Zhou Fang said his plan, planning to transition in Dali Temple for a period of time and transfer to the prefect of Yongping Mansion.

Zhou Qingli listened quietly and said: "The innovation of Yongping Mansion has been done very well, and several adults are very appreciative, if it can continue to run through and persist, it will also be a reference for the innovation of the imperial court, you should do it well." ”

Zhou Fang saw that Zhou Qingli did not object, and immediately said: "Dad, don't worry, my second brother and I will definitely insist on doing it, you don't know, Yongping Mansion is now a country and a peaceful country, the people have fields, clothes, and literacy, and those civil unrest in other places are not at all in Yongping Mansion, and they are completely different from other places......

When Zhou Zheng started Yongping Mansion, Zhou Qingli kept staring, where would he not know, listening to the words of his eldest son, he just smiled.

Waiting for the Zhou side to come to an end, Zhou Qingli said: "South of Hejian Mansion, Daimyo's Mansion, Baoding Mansion has also been quite unstable recently, although Lu Xiangsheng has made great achievements in suppressing bandits, but he has not been able to completely eliminate the bandits, and some of them are becoming more and more intense, the court is worried about this, if you can set a successful example, it will be of great significance to the court and to my Ming Dynasty, so don't take it lightly." ”

Zhou Fang glanced at Zhou Zheng and said, "Dad, don't worry, we will do a good job." Before, you said that you wanted to come back, but my second brother and I disagreed. ”

Zhou Qingli nodded lightly, picked up the teacup, and said, "I know your worries, now I just want to recover, and it's not so easy." ”

Zhou Zheng didn't speak, and then said, "Is it Wang Tianguan's business?" ”

Zhou Qingli took a sip of tea and said: "The emperor has always suspected that some of the courtiers have formed a party, and I am afraid that Bi Shangshu and I are also listed, at this time, the emperor will not allow me to return to the court." ”

Zhou Zheng didn't expect such a thing, so Emperor Chongzhen was suspicious of the entire court.

Zhou Qingli didn't care about himself, and looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "Are you planning to go back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" ”

Zhou Zheng didn't hide it and said, "Yes." I have basically done everything I can outside, and now it's time to go back to the court and do something. ”

Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng, her eyes did not hide her worry, and said: "Now it is not as good as before, in the past, the eunuch party and the Donglin party were clearly distinguished, and they could still maneuver around it, and now the court can't tell who is a human and who is a ghost, what do you want to do, you must be cautious and repeated, don't trust others easily, people's hearts are changing." ”

Zhou Zheng knew that Father Zhou's words should mean something, and nodded and said, "I know." I'm planning to come back after the middle of the year, and there's still a lot to do. ”

Zhou Qingli didn't ask too much, and said: "Your credits are all recorded now, with your qualifications, if you go back to the Imperial Palace, you should have the opportunity to rank in the imperial class, you have to be cautious in your words and deeds, today is not the apocalypse." ”

Zhou Qingli has been by Chongzhen's side for four or five years, and she knows very well the character behind the diligence and self-denial of His Majesty the Emperor.

Zhou Zhengdao: "Well, I will be in a measured manner, and I will not go sideways like before." ”

Zhou Qingli knew that his second son had stronger feelings for Daming than him, not to mention the fearlessness of the powerful in those courts, just the two wars in the capital and Youtun that disregarded themselves were enough to explain everything.

Zhou Qingli didn't say anything, looked at the two sons and said: "After Zhengyun gets married, you can split up, if you want to stay, stay, I won't stop you." ”

It is a tradition and a rule for children to get married and separate.

When Zhou Fang heard this, he hurriedly said: "What is this talking about, Zhengyun is not married yet, why did he mention the separation of the family, don't say this in the future." ”

Zhou Zheng also said: "Dad, it's not that the family can't live, these words are premature." ”

Zhou Qingli laughed and said, "Then let's talk about it later, you guys are busy with your business, I still have to visit Master Bi." ”

Zhou Fang and Zhou Zheng didn't say much, chatted casually, and the two left Zhou Qingli's room.

The Zhou family is now busy with Zhou Zheng's marriage, and it is very lively inside and out.

Zhou Zheng's relatives, friends and various relationships, Zhou Zheng pushed everything he could, and pressed this marriage to the lowest level, which was much more low-key than Liu Liuzhe.

When Zhou was busy, something big was still happening in the court.

Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the ministry, was imprisoned and implicated by him, three squires in the six ministries, one Zhengqing in the nine temples, three Shaoqing, two governors, two governors, three political envoys, and more than 70 other officials, large and small, were dismissed, imprisoned, and sent to war!

Maybe Chongzhen was angry with the people he trusted so much, and he actually 'formed a party', but he was not soft at all, and the Jinyi Guards crisscrossed the capital, which simply reproduced the grand occasion of the Ti Cavalry that everyone feared during the Wei Zhongxian period.

Naturally, everyone in the government and the opposition is in danger, and I don't know how many people are afraid and uneasy.

Wang Yongguang has been in office for five years, he appointed, recommended, and related to his protégés, relatives and friends do not know much, the government and the opposition for a while to discuss, and countless people resigned, trying to avoid this trend.

At the same time, He Ruzhong, the cabinet minister, was implicated and resigned, and the official was approved, and the six Shangshu changed rapidly, and only the household secretary Bi Ziyan and the military secretary Zhang Fengyi did not move.

There are even rumors that the position of the first assistant Zhou Yanru is unstable, and it may not be long before Zhishi.
