Chapter 258: Mingzhe Protects His Life
Zhou Qingli knew that Zhou Zheng cared about this, and said: "It was the emperor who asked Wei Zhongxian to read it to his face, Wei Zhongxian was terrified, knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty, the emperor did not embarrass him, and appeased him for a while." β
Zhou Zheng nodded slightly, this is normal.
However, it is only September, and Zhu Youzhen has begun to directly test Wei Zhongxian, perhaps, Wei Zhongxian's fall may be earlier than in history.
"Dad, you and your eldest brother should be careful." Zhou Zheng looked at Zhou Qingli and said seriously. The eunuchs are at the end of the road, no one knows what they will do, Zhou Zheng is on the cusp of the storm, and may be the first object of their revenge.
Zhou Qingli is also a person who has struggled in officialdom for many years, understood what Zhou Zheng meant, and said: "I'm fine, after all, I am a close minister of the emperor, and the eunuchs have to be scrupulous about me no matter how much they want to do to me." It's your eldest brother, I heard that the people of Zhou Yingqiu's family have been in frequent contact with your eldest brother recently, and they have paved a lot of roads for your eldest brother in Dali Temple. β
"Their usual modus." Zhou Zheng said.
Zhou Qingli was quite worried about this eldest son, thought about it again and again, and said, "I will make an excuse to transfer your eldest brother to the palace." β
Zhou Zheng has no opinion, Zhou Fang is easy to believe in people, if he is fooled, the Zhou family may be in trouble.
Zhou Zheng saw that Father Zhou looked tired, so he came out without much disturbance.
Back in his room, Zhou Zheng thought for a while, and then continued to practice with a pen.
Zhou Zheng knew very well that Qian Jiazheng might be just the beginning.
September 16.
In front of the Jiujiang Pavilion, the red lanterns are hung high, and in front of the door are firecrackers and flags fluttering.
Zhou Zheng stood at the door with Han Cheng and the others, looking at it with a smile.
Zhou Zheng didn't invite anyone else, basically they were all literary giants such as Han Cheng, or scholars such as Kou Huaiyi.
In front of the gate, there are many people standing, all curiously watching Zhou Zheng and others, the 'Jiujiang Pavilion' plaque is Han Cheng's own handwritten regular script, atmospheric, square.
When the firecrackers stopped, Zhou Zheng didn't have any extra nonsense, and directly addressed Han Cheng and the others: "Gentlemen, please come inside." β
Han Cheng and the others naturally smiled and nodded, and walked inside with Zhou Zheng, below, there was a simple banquet.
An old man beside Han Cheng smiled with emotion: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and we, the old scholars, are behind closed doors after all, and we are a little behind." β
"If Zhengyun's Jiujiang Pavilion can be expanded, or if it can drive my Ming book collectors to collect books publicly, the merit will be immeasurable......"
"Young people, with such a mind, it is commendable, commendable, I am rare......"
Everyone praised Zhou Zheng, and their expressions were satisfied and happy.
Before he could take a few steps, Kou Huaiyi hurriedly ran over, wiped the sweat on his head and said, "Dongjia, there is a person named Huang Tan who is coming to visit?" β
Before Zhou Zheng could speak, one of the old men said: "It's my protΓ©gΓ©, lick it for Shanxi Xuezheng, let him come in......"
As soon as his voice fell, another scholar came in and said, "Boss, a person named Yan Qigao asks to see ......."
"It's my student.,It's a member of the household department.,Let him come in.,I haven't come to see me for a while.,I don't know if there's a ...... in learning."
"The owner, a man named Shan Zhou handed over the post......"
"My son who is not a son is a senator of Shaanxi, let him get in......"
"Dongjia, a person named Wang Eryi is here, saying that he is here to visit Mr. Jinghu......"
"It's him, Guizhou political envoy, Wang Sanshan's second brother, let him in......"
"The owner, a person named Lu Yiyi is here......"
"My student is a cabinet secretary......
"The owner, the people from the new uncle's family are here......"
"Haha, I'll invite, the face is okay, right?"
"The owner, the Rui Wangfu sent someone to send a congratulatory gift......"
"I have had several encounters with King Rui, and it is a great honor to be able to sell the old man's face, ......"
β¦β¦
Zhou Zheng walked in from the door, a total of less than ten steps, but more than 20 people came in a row, large and small officials, princes and nobles, almost everything, making Zhou Zheng secretly speechless.
Zhou Zheng was naturally entertaining, holding wine glasses, toasting one by one, and at the same time promoting his concept of 'everyone reads'.
Zhou Zheng participated in Cui Chengxiu, and he was already looking forward to adding himself, this matter is even more of a halo, these people's conduct is not bad, plus the presence of Han Cheng and others, they have praised it, and many people have made decisions on the spot, and they want to come forward to support and sponsor Zhou Zheng.
Although Zhou Zheng kept a low profile, it still spread out, attracting more people.
Zhou Zheng hadn't finished the meal yet, and nearly 100 people had already come to the three reading rooms opened in Jiujiang Pavilion, Kou Huaiyi and others preached the rules, and the 100 people honestly looked for books, and then sat down in one position, reading, copying books, and so on.
After the meal, Zhou Zheng took Han Cheng and the others, plus their protΓ©gΓ©s and the like, and went around Jiujiang Pavilion again.
Seeing many shabby young people reading and copying books hungrily, everyone nodded silently, looking at Zhou Zheng, and their eyes became more and more approving.
In the evening, when Zhou Zheng sent these people away, there were still many people who 'said goodbye' to Zhou Zheng, and they were quite reluctant.
Zhou Zheng naturally accompanies each other, and they all feel like they hate each other.
When the people were finished, Zhou Zheng sat in his 'office', let out a long breath, and said, "It's finally over." β
Liu Liuzhen poured a cup of tea for Zhou Zheng, and said a little excitedly: "Second young master, you don't know, the outside is now praising you, I heard that it has been passed to the palace." β
Zhou Zheng smiled, took the teacup, and said, "Don't worry about these for now, is there anything else happening in the government and the opposition?" β
Liu Liuzhen thought for a while and said, "There's nothing special, but I heard that Cao Yubian took over the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Palace, I don't know if it's true or not." β
Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea, held the teacup, nodded and said, "It should be true, Cao Yubian is also the person left by the emperor to the emperor." β
Er Cao was against the water eunuch party in the court, and it was clear that it was left to Chongzhen by the Apocalypse, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate checked and balanced the cabinet, and the six ministries were very important departments, and it was impossible for the Apocalypse not to make arrangements.
But where will Cao Sicheng, the original Yushi of the left capital, go?
Liu Liuzhen saw Zhou Zheng thinking, waited for a while and said, "Second young master, I also heard that Zhou Shangshu is going to be a scholar." β
Zhou Zheng was stunned and said, "Zhou Yingqiu? β
Immediately, there was some realization, Qian Jiazheng impeached Wei Zhongxian for ten crimes, this is a real deal, the government and the opposition are obvious to all, although Zhu Youzhen has taken pacification measures, but which of those adults is not a human spirit, may taste some taste, and want to protect himself.
Zhou Zheng didn't care about Zhou Yingqiu, looked up at Liu Liuzhe, and said: "Lord Cao has defended me in the court, he is newly appointed, I should back up my mind, you go and choose a pair of calligraphy and paintings, and send them to Lord Cao." β
Liu Liuzhen said: "Second young master, don't you go in person?" β
Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "The timing is very good, you can't tell the truth, Lord Cao will understand." β
Liu Liuzhen sighed and said, "Okay, I'll go and find it." β
Zhou Zheng shouted to him again and said, "Send a letter to Li Shi, just say that what I promised him will be fulfilled soon, so that he can get ready." β
