Although Zhou Zheng's behavior was a 'great rebellion', Zhou Yanru thought to himself that if he had changed positions, he would have done so a long time ago.

Waving his hand, Zhou Yanru said: "The emperor is young, so it's good for everyone." By the way, you keep an eye on the prime minister's yamen, and when the time comes, you will also be the vice premier, and give me a good look. ”

Fan Wenjing thought for a moment and said, "Yes." ”

Zhou Yanru thought about the palace in his heart, and said: "After today's incident, there must be a will soon, before leaving work, you will call the officials of the three divisions to the cabinet, and the scholars and servants of the six departments will come, we will discuss it and make a charter." ”

Even if Zhu Cihong gives an order, he only expresses his attitude, and how to deal with it depends on the thoughts of the courtiers, and how to judge it is also decided by the courtiers.

Fan Wenjing's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Yuanfu, what do you think should be done?" ”

Zhou Yanru felt a headache and said: "I don't want to do anything about the clan, but Zhou Zhengyun decided to kill a batch, and then all of them were confined in the capital, and the emperor has made it clear that he can't kill one." I still have to find a way to convince Zhou Zhengyun. ”

Fan Wenjing bowed down, and finally understood why Zhou Zheng wanted to keep Zhou Yanru and refuse to be the first assistant himself.

If Zhou Zheng sits in this position, he will directly face Zhu Cihong, and there will be less turnaround, and the monarchs and ministers will fight against each other, and there will be no stable enough environment for them to smoothly promote the innovation.

Zhou Yanru is now a lawsuit, and he has completely lost his ambition to show off his ambitions before, and he has a headache for a while, and said: "I will write a letter to Tianjin Wei later, and ask Zhou Yuanshan to return to Beijing, with him, many things should be able to be discussed." ”

Far mountain, Zhou Qingli's words, Zhou Zheng's father.

Fan Wenjing responded.

Zhou Yanru didn't have the heart to say anything else, waved his hand, and said, "Go ahead." ”

"Yes." Fan Wenjing raised his hand.

Not long after, the celebrant sent someone to inform the cabinet to draft the edict, Zhou Yanru didn't know whether it was Zhu Cihong's meaning, or Zhou Zheng controlled the celebrant to pass it on privately, without further investigation, and ordered the edict to be drafted.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng's 60,000 troops in the northwest had blocked Tongguan and confronted Gao Yigong and Li Guo.

Tongguan is the best pass in the world, and if you want to storm it, you don't know how much it will cost.

Lu Xiangsheng took a siege but not an attack, and the army was attacking other places.

In the large camp, there were people coming and going, and the officers of the Military Intelligence Department were coming and going, passing on all kinds of information.

Lu Xiangsheng was not in a hurry, he was patrolling the camp every day and listening to the good news from all over the place.

After Li Zicheng was defeated and retreated from Beijing, his momentum plummeted, and although he organized several counterattacks, he was defeated and returned, and the entire 'Dashun Army' was sluggish, coupled with the lack of production and insufficient logistics, although the number of troops was increasing, the combat strength was retreating.

Lu Xiangsheng patrolled the camp, with Lu Xiang's other people by his side.

In front of an earthen stove, Lu Xiangsheng drank porridge and asked a guard standing opposite, "Zheng Xibo asked me to take you, you have seen a lot along the way, what do you think?" ”

The guard was twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a tall posture, eyes like stars, and a somewhat indifferent expression.

Li Dingguo.

Along the way, he saw devastation and ruins. All the 'rebels' are robbing houses, looting wantonly, and wearing the skin of 'uprising', but in fact they are inferior to those bandits, doing everything, without any military discipline, and without the slightest atmosphere of the 'new dynasty'.

Lu Xiangsheng picked up the steamed bun, ate the pickles, and said: "I once talked to Zheng Xibo, Zheng Xibo said, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others do not have the mind and courage that a superior person should have, even if he does something in a short time, it is just riding the wind, and it will not become a big thing after all, this is decided in his bones and cannot be changed." ”

Li Dingguo looked at Lu Xiangsheng, indifferent for a while, and said, "Why does Zheng Xibo look at me differently?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng was slightly stunned, looked up at him, and said: "This is also what I want to ask you, Zheng Xibo fought in the northwest and captured many bandit leaders, but you were the only one who was pardoned and let me take it, this matter is very strange." ”

Li Dingguo frowned and didn't say anything more.

He has never been able to think through this problem, he is Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son, and it is not inconspicuous. Zhang Xianzhong was also arrested, he has no use value at all, what is Zhou Zhengyun going to do?

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Li Dingguo's expression, continued to eat, and said: "If you don't want to participate in the suppression of bandits, I will send you to Liaodong, once the northwest is pacified, the expedition to Xibo will inevitably prepare for the Northern Expedition." ”

Li Dingguo still didn't speak, and asked him to deal with the rebels, but he couldn't do it.

Lu Xiangsheng ignored him, but Zhou Zheng ordered him to take it.

Not long after, an official from the Military Intelligence Department came over and handed over a flying pigeon message, saying, "My lord, there is an urgent report from Sichuan. ”

Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly took it, opened it and looked at it, and immediately frowned.

Qin Liangyu and Cao Bianjiao, Gao Jie's coalition army, there are 60,000 people, but they do not occupy much advantage in Sichuan, not only the bandits are spreading, but Tusi is also constantly attacking, and the situation is not good.

Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while and said, "Where are Li Banghua, Zuo Liangyu, Liu Liuzhen and the others?" ”

The official of the Military Intelligence Department thought about it and said: "Now, it should be in Henan, they are Yuanfu's people, I am afraid that they will listen to the propaganda or not." ”

Lu Xiangsheng turned his head to look at Tongguan and said, "Wait a little longer, the heavy rain is coming." ”

"Yes." Officers from the Military Intelligence Service responded.

……

In the evening, Zhou Zheng's family finally came down from Miaofeng Mountain, and Zhou Zheng wanted to tie the doll with some evil taste, but was also stopped by Shangguan Qing's eyes.

Xiao Ke'er had a day of skinning today, and she was tired from playing, so she slept on Zhou Zheng's shoulder.

Although Zhou Zheng was descending the mountain, news from all over the place continued to converge.

Hearing that Shangguan Lie had grounded the emperor, Shangguan Qing looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "Will he come nonsense?" ”

Zhou Zheng carried the little guy on his back, walked a little slower, and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate him, he is wanton in small things, and he has never been ambiguous in big things." The so-called small mistakes are constant, but big mistakes are not made. ”

Shangguan Qing was just worried that Shangguan Lie would harm Zhou Zheng, so he didn't say anything more after listening to Zhou Zheng's words.

Before Zhou Zheng reached the foot of the mountain, a guard hurriedly came up and reported: "My lord, some people in Jiangnan are jointly writing to the imperial court, calling on the imperial court to strictly investigate traitors, eliminate maladministration, and carry out large-scale reforms. More than 20 people, including Qian Qianyi and Zhang Bo, have already taken a boat north to Beijing. ”

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows, these people are really not giving up.

Zhang Bo's restoration of the Society, with more than 3,000 people, involved countless gentry in Jiangnan, and was surging in Jiangnan and alarming the world.

They entered Beijing at this time to get a piece of the chaos.

In addition, they may not be the only ones, and there should be many people from all over the country who have entered Beijing.

Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "Let Yuanfu worry about it." The holy decree dragged on, so that they should not be in a hurry, and first build the prime minister's yamen and throw out some things. ”

The guard didn't ask any of these questions and said, "Yes." ”

Zhou Zheng looked back at the sleeping Xiao Ke'er, turned his head and said to Shangguan Qing: "It's time to take Shen'er and them back, the little guy is indeed a little lonely alone." ”

Shangguan Qing blinked, what Zhou Zheng said was completely different from what she thought.
