Zhou Zheng and Tian Zhenshu made an appointment in a tavern, Tian Zhenshu's expression was obscure and indescribable, dignified, relieved, and a touch of pain.

Zhou Zheng couldn't guess his mind and asked, "What happened?" ”

Tian Zhenshu took a sip of wine and said, "I heard that the emperor summoned Wei Zhongxian in the Qiandi, and it is not clear what he said specifically, but the general meaning is that everything is business as usual, and Wei Zhongxian is still in charge of the celebrant supervisor. ”

Zhou Zheng suddenly understood the meaning of Tian Zhenshu's complicated expression.

Tian Zhenshu and the people behind him are neither the Donglin Party nor the Eunuch Party, but they are in their own right, but both Donglin and Qingliu are facing the strong suppression of the Eunuch Party and are struggling to survive. I thought that the new emperor's ascension to the throne would cleanse the world and sweep away the eunuchs, but I never thought that the new emperor would be so fond of Wei Zhongxian.

Tian Zhenshu looked lonely, and sighed faintly: "If it goes on like this, what hope do I have for Daming?" ”

Zhou Zheng shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know what the new emperor has in mind, but no matter who succeeds to the throne, he will immediately appease the ministers, instead of suppressing and eradicating them, unless he is a fool." ”

Tian Zhen was stunned for a moment, his expression moved, and said, "You mean, the new emperor is thinking of a snake in vain?" ”

Zhou Zhengdao: "I can't guess, but Wei Zhongxian's power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and his people are everywhere inside and outside the palace, if the new emperor doesn't want an accident, even if he has any plans, he must stabilize Wei Zhongxian first, lest he jump over the wall in a hurry and endanger himself." ”

Tian Zhenshu seemed to have thought of something, his expression was much more excited, he looked at Zhou Zheng seriously, and said, "Ling Zun is in the Hidden Mansion, but what do you know?" You've got to tell me something, right? ”

Zhou Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Yesterday, the queen asked the Hakka family to move out of Xian'an Palace, and the emperor did not object. ”

Zhu Youzhen has just ascended the throne and has not yet been canonized as the queen, and the current queen is the Empress Zhang of the Apocalypse.

Xian'an Palace, this palace is often the residence of the Queen Mother, and the fact that the Hakka family can live here shows her status in the heart of the Apocalypse. And Empress Zhang asked the Hakka family to move out, but Zhu Youzhen did not speak, revealing a little of his thoughts.

Tian Zhenshu smiled with satisfaction: "You are finally willing to let go." ”

Tian Zhenshu's heart was a little relaxed, and then she thought about it seriously.

If the new emperor is dissatisfied with the eunuch party and wants to eradicate the eunuch party, he must pretend to be a snake.

Tian Zhenshu pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "What are your plans?" ”

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "I have been dismissed, sit and watch the situation change." ”

Tian Zhenshu shook his head and said, "If you can escape, no one will be able to avoid it, I estimate that it won't take a few days, and you will have something to do again." ”

Zhou Zheng didn't care about this and asked; "What's going on in the North Korean bureau lately?"

Tian Zhen said: "The six ministries of Prime Minister Yuanfu's cabinet are very smooth, not as lively as before. Most of the scripts, especially the impeachment ones, are missing. I heard that some of the adults above kept going to the palace to see the emperor, except for Yuanfu, the emperor did not see anyone else, including our two adults. ”

Huang Liji is a very contradictory person, for the sake of power, he befriended Wei Zhongxian and ascended to the throne of the first assistant. Although Wei Zhongxian is the leader in many things, he is in a-for-tat confrontation with Wei Zhongxian on some issues, and he will not give an inch.

For example, Zhu Youzhen's accession to the throne this time was because Huang Li tried his best to resist public opinion, commanded civil officials, and resisted the pressure of Wei Zhongxian, otherwise Zhu Youzhen's succession would not have been so smooth.

Tian Zhenshu looked at Zhou Zheng, leaned closer, and said in a low voice: "There were rumors in the palace before that the emperor was not born to Guangzong, and Empress Zhang killed many people with a cane. ”

Zhou Zheng nodded slightly, the palace was the world of the Hakka family and Wei Zhongxian in the past, even if it was not compiled by them, they deliberately connived.

"I'm dying." Zhou Zheng muttered softly.

Tian Zhenshu understood what Zhou Zheng meant, and said: "Li Guopu and the others have also quieted down, I heard that Li Guopu will soon enter the cabinet and rank third." ”

This Zhou Zheng was not surprised, and said: "I'm afraid it won't be calm for long." ”

Tian Zhenshu nodded and said, "Many people took leave, Zhou Yingqiu reported illness in the morning, Huo Weihua even claimed to be a scholar, and Feng Ge was even more bedridden......"

Zhou Zheng was stunned, then shook his head, and said: "Their desire for power is very heavy, and it is impossible to let go, most of them are retreating." ”

"I think so too," Tian Zhen said, "Also, there are a few adults who have entered Beijing and have something to do with Ling Zun." ”

Zhou Zheng's expression moved slightly, and he shook his head secretly, which was not surprised, and said: "Now that the situation is chaotic, you and the people behind you should not act rashly." ”

Tian Zhenshu looked at Zhou Zheng, sighed slightly, and said, "Do you remember what I told you about the fellow villagers' association?" Would you like to come with me to meet a few adults? ”

Zhou Zheng looked at Tian Zhenshu with an unmoving expression, and said slowly for a while: "I am not friends with my father. ”

Tian Zhen said: "It's not a friend, it's a comrade, we have similar views on the situation in the DPRK and have a common goal for the future." ”

Not a party yet?

No matter who you are, what kind of ideas you have, and what your goals are, once you gain power, you will be the next Donglin Party.

Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "No need." ”

Tian Zhenshu looked at Zhou Zheng's resolute attitude, and sighed in his heart, he should have been wooed after Zhou Zheng went to the court for the first time, but now Zhou Zheng's father has become the minister of the new emperor's hidden palace, and the future is unlimited, it is really a miss, it's a pity.

Zhou Zheng and Tian Zhenshu separated, returned to Zhou's mansion, and was about to climb the wall when a fat man not far away ran over panting and shouted in a low voice: "Zhou Zhengyun, wait!" ”

Zhou Zheng had already pressed one hand on the wall, and when he heard the sound, he turned his head to see that it was Hu Qingzheng.

Liu Liuzhen looked at Hu Qingzheng, and then looked up at Zhou Zheng.

Hu Qingzheng ran to the front and said, "Go up, I have something to tell you." ”

With that, he stepped on the ladder and followed Zhou Zheng's buttocks.

Zhou Zheng thought about it, climbed over the wall, and waited for him on the other side.

Hu Qingzheng climbed down panting, wiped his sweat and said, "Hurry up and go, I'm dying of thirst." ”

Zhou Zheng looked at his expression, walked towards the pavilion not far away, and said, "When did you come back?" ”

Previously, Hu Qingzheng returned to his hometown after illness in order to avoid the court dispute, and this time he came back in a blink of an eye.

Hu Qingzheng was so fat that he kept wiping his sweat and said, "Where have I ever been back, I have always been in the capital." ”

Zhou Zheng was speechless for a moment, but he underestimated this fat man.

The two came to the pavilion and sat down, and the next person brought a pot of herbal tea, and Hu Qing and Zheng drank three cups in a row.

He was about to drink the fourth cup, Zhou Zheng hurriedly held down the teacup and said, "Okay, our tea doesn't need money, slow down." ”

Hu Qingzheng was a little unsatisfied, he breathed a long sigh of relief, smashed his mouth, looked up at Zhou Zheng, and said: "I don't talk nonsense, someone asked me to deliver a message to you, continue to impeach Cui Chengxiu, within two months, you will be the chief official of Zhejiang Province." ”

Zhou Zheng knew that Hu Qingzheng came with a mission, but he didn't expect it to be such a deal.

Zhou Zheng thought for a moment and said, "The person behind you?" At my age and seniority, I can't be a chief officer, right? ”

"Escrow." Hu Qing Zheng said.

Zhou Zheng suddenly suddenly, the formal natural difficulty, but the escrow is different, there is no name, it can block the mouths of many people, the important thing is that this is a very important qualification, whether it is promoted within the Metropolitan Procuratorate, or released, the weight is very different from the ordinary supervision of the imperial history.

At the same time, Zhou Zheng also understood that the reason why Li Guopu and others no longer went into battle in person probably hadn't figured out the true attitude of the new emperor, so he thought of Zhou Zheng and asked him to do a temptation.
