Li Hengbing's answer satisfied Zhou Zheng, and Zhou Zheng explained two sentences, and then let him go first.

Sun Chuanting looked at Li Hengbing's back and said, "My lord, it's not that I speak ill of my colleagues, I can't see through this Li Hengbing." ”

Zhou Zheng glanced at it and said, "I have discussed with Yuan Fu to choose two teachers for the emperor and attend classes regularly every ten years, one for you and one for Liu Zongzhou, and you will enter the palace next year." ”

Sun Chuanting was also born as a Jinshi, and there is no need to doubt his cultural accomplishment, although he is not as good as Liu Zongzhou, it is more than enough to teach a child.

Sun Chuanting just hesitated, and then said, "Why don't you take it?" If Your Majesty subtly agrees with our changes, it may save a lot of trouble in the future, and it can be regarded as a successor. ”

Zhou Zheng was completely disappointed in Zhu Cihong, and he would not put the future of the change on him, he pondered for a while, and said: "In the article about the emperor in the Daming Law, add such a sentence: The emperor is an important symbol of the centripetal force that maintains the unity of the Ming Dynasty, has a lofty status, is an example for all the people, and is hereditary. ”

Sun Chuanting waited for a while, and then said with some surprise: "Is it just like that?" ”

Zhou Zheng naturally wanted to do more, but Sun Chuanting felt that it was too much!

"Today's Da Ming Law must be general and broad, and it will be slowly refined in the future,"

Zhou Zheng remained silent and said: "You prepare the detailed rules, brew in the six parts, and at the same time pay attention to the reaction of the people, to reach a consensus as much as possible, if necessary, let Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi and others have an open debate with Erzhang, and they will argue for a few days." ”

Sun Chuanting understood and said with a smile: "Okay, the next official will arrange it." ”

Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "You are in the ministry, important things must be accelerated, especially in terms of talents, you must pay attention." ”

Sun Chuanting nodded, this is their most important thing at the moment.

Seeing that the stall is about to be rolled out, how can reliable manpower be done without competent personnel?

Zhou Zheng talked with Sun Chuanting for a full hour before leaving the Zhou Mansion and leaving.

When Zhou Zheng returned to the room, Shangguan Qing had already put the two children to sleep, lying on the bed, reading quietly.

Zhou Zheng came in, and she just turned her head to look at it and continued to read.

Zhou Zheng looked at Shangguan Qing like this, as if he thought of ten years ago, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he strode over.

……

There was a dispute in the Ming court over the 'reverse case', and this dispute evolved into a dispute between the 'two weeks'.

Represented by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, and Qian Qianyi, who presided over the trial, there was a huge disagreement with the Criminal Department - on the boundary of the 'reverse case'.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple uphold the principle of 'unforgivable disobedience', insist on not letting go of one, wantonly punish the people, and alert the people of the world.

Qian Qianyi and Zhang Sizhi asked for 'lenienness', hoping that these cases would be closed as soon as possible, and that they would be changed next year, and that they would be turned over and not mentioned again.

Qian Qianyi, Zhang Sizhi wanted Zhou Yanru to talk to Zhou Zheng in person, so it was neat, but Zhou Zheng played Tai Chi and pushed the matter down.

Qian Qianyi and Zhang Sizhi had to talk to Ma Shiying and Kou Huaiyi, which had to be argued, and the two sides were almost case-by-case, discussing and drawing up a list of people who wanted to be arrested, potentially arrested, and might be arrested.

With such a stalemate, the court actually had a rare appearance of calm.

Almost at the same time, Lu Xiangsheng, in his capacity as the premier of the Northwest Suppression of Bandits, ordered all armies in the Northwest, with a total of nearly 300,000, to put on a decisive battle with Li Zicheng at the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi.

Cao Wenzhao, Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao, Yang Guozhu and others came from Xi'an, and more than 100,000 troops were deployed on various fortresses and roads like huge fans.

Qin Liangyu took 20,000 Sichuan troops and Cao Bianjiao's 10,000 cavalry out of the Sword Pavilion and blocked Li Zicheng's way north into Sichuan.

Zuo Liangyu and Liu Liuzhe led nearly 40,000 troops from Xiangyang to the west, blocking Li Zicheng's way to Dongtao.

The officers and troops dispatched heavy troops this time, the military orders were unified, all roads were elite soldiers and strong generals, and the food and grass were sufficient, so it can be said that this is the most powerful military force in the Ming Dynasty!

Lu Xiangsheng has been preparing for more than a month, and what he wants is to settle the battle and not give Li Zicheng any chance to make a comeback!

In Lu Xiangsheng's big tent, Cao Wenzhao, Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao and others were all there, discussing the next battle.

The officer of the Military Intelligence Department glanced at a few people, opened the thick text in his hand, and said: "Prime Minister, the commanders, judging from the information obtained by the Military Intelligence Department, Li Zicheng's various units have a total of 100,000 troops, plus the coerced people, between 200,000 and 300,000, plus Wu Sangui, Tang Tong and other rebels, as well as other bandits from all walks of life, the total may be about 350,000, from Xiaoliang Mountain to Jishui River, stretching for dozens of miles......

Li Zicheng's once-million-strong army has been broken up by the official army, and there is not one in ten.

Lu Xiangsheng and the others looked at the huge sand table in front of them, their expressions were solemn, even if Li Zicheng was a defeated soldier, they didn't dare to be careless.

Cao Wenzhao looked at it for a long time and said: "Prime Minister, the last general thinks that it is more appropriate to disintegrate them one by one, and launch a full purge, there may be accidents." ”

If Li Zicheng makes a desperate breakthrough, breaks through their defense line and rushes into Shaanxi again, then their great achievement will have to become a big one.

Zhao Shu taught: "Fight the snake and hit the seven inches, I think I will directly attack the location of Li Zicheng's camp, as long as it is solved here, other places will definitely fall apart, and the result will be twice the result with half the effort." ”

Yang Guozhu's marching style was the most calm, or conservative, he stared at the sand table and said: "I'm afraid that Li Zicheng may not be able to fight a decisive battle, I'm worried that he is looking for a flaw to escape." ”

"Li Zicheng must not be allowed to escape!"

Lu Xiangsheng said in a deep voice: "Zheng Xibo has made a military order for us in the imperial court, and the trouble in the northwest will be completely solved before the end of the year, otherwise, let's not think about the credit first, let's choose the cemetery first." ”

Everyone looked awe-struck and responded.

Just as Lu Xiangsheng was about to say more, Lu Xiangtong hurriedly came in, glanced at the others, and whispered in Lu Xiangsheng's ear.

Lu Xiangsheng frowned, and then said lightly: "You are discussing, I will come when I go." ”

Cao Wenzhao, Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui and others glanced at each other and did not speak.

They all knew who Lu Xiangsheng was going to meet, and they also knew his identity.

Lu Xiangsheng came to the outside of the big tent, and walked into a small tent, where a middle-aged man was waiting for him.

This middle-aged man was full of fat brains and greasy face, and when he saw Lu Xiangsheng coming in, he looked anxious and said, "Premier Lu, have you thought clearly?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng's expression was flat, and he said, "Do you know my relationship with Zheng Xibo?" ”

The middle-aged man said in a dissatisfied tone, "Didn't I tell you?" It wasn't Zhou Zheng who protected you at the beginning, it was the emperor who intended to let you go, Zhou Zheng was just pushing the boat down the river, why should he remember such a big favor? ”

Lu Xiangsheng did not refute, and said: "The thieves entered Beijing, and the first emperor was martyred, and Xibo led the army to eliminate the thieves and recover the capital." Ordered me to be the prime minister of the northwest and entrust more than 200,000 troops to me, do you know how much trust this is? How can I rebel against him? ”

"What trust? Take a closer look! ”

The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said, "Except for your 10,000 Tianxiong Army, Cao Wenzhao, Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao, Yang Guozhu, etc., which one is not Zhou Zheng's person?" If he believes in you, why should he send so many men to watch over him? Obviously guarding against you! ”

Lu Xiangsheng's expression has always been very flat, without joy or sorrow, and said: "Do you know, what you want me to do, to put it lightly, it is a matter of society, and the bones of the first emperor are not cold." It's heavy, it's a felony for the ages, and it will be remembered for thousands of years. ”

The middle-aged man looked bored, and said: "You are the prime minister of the northwest, with hundreds of thousands of troops in your hands, it is a small defeat, so that Zhou Zhengyun will lose his trust in the imperial court, and he will not be able to complete the military order. ”

Lu Xiangsheng looked at him and said, "You are the great eunuch beside the first emperor, and you don't know the military formation, so I'll explain it to you seriously." My army of more than 200,000 is the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty, the army of all, and the last army. If Li Zicheng escapes from my hands and we are questioned, then Li Zicheng can rise for the third time, sweep the northwest, and capture the capital again. At that time, there was no second expedition to Xibo, Liaodong, and Shandong could no longer transfer troops......"

The middle-aged man didn't listen at all, and said angrily without waiting for Lu Xiangsheng to finish speaking: "Didn't I tell you? Let you sing a small defeat, and when Zhou Zheng is questioned and sent to prison, won't you just defeat Li Zicheng again? ”

Lu Xiangsheng still had that expression, and said: "Li Zicheng has hundreds of thousands of troops, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is not in my hands at all. Do the people behind you really not know the severity? ”

The middle-aged man's face became more and more irritable, and he said coldly: "You know very well who I am, and you should also guess the person behind me." If you are obsessed, you can't afford the consequences in the future! ”

Lu Xiangsheng's expression seemed to be frozen, and said: "I don't have a reason to agree to you, if you are liquidated one day in the future, I hope you will let go of Zheng Xibo." ”

The middle-aged man's face was very ugly, and he said gloomily: "Okay! Remember your words today, your sound today, and the fruits of your day! ”

The last words of the middle-aged man were simply screaming.

Lu Xiangsheng was still expressionless, and said: "Come on, the war is in crisis, this is not suitable for my father-in-law, send someone to escort him back to Beijing." ”

The middle-aged man's eyes changed suddenly, and he said coldly: "You want to arrest me back?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng had already ignored him, turned around and walked out of the tent.

The middle-aged man shouted angrily: "Even if he grasps me and hands it over to Zhou Zhengyun, he can't do anything to me, Lu Xiangsheng, you still have a chance, as long as you think clearly, I will guarantee you a good future, and the Lu family will be blessed!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng didn't pay attention to it at all, and strode towards his big tent.

Lu Xiangtong looked at it, looked at a few soldiers, and said, "You take a team of people, day and night, and send them to Jinyiwei." ”

"Yes!" This small flag responded, and immediately asked people to gag the eunuch's mouth and take it away in a hurry.

Lu Xiangsheng returned to the big tent, and Cao Wenzhao's eyes were on his face.

Lu Xiangsheng took a deep breath, walked to the sand table, and said: "The big snake has to take care of both the head and tail, we will divide them into three sections, cut and surround them separately, eat them one by one, and not let any of them go!" ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, this is indeed a good tactic, they can do it, and it works best!

Although a group of people were excited about this tactic, they didn't speak, still looking at Lu Xiangsheng.

They knew about the arrival of that eunuch and had contacted them, and their relationship with Zhou Zheng was extraordinary, and they lost both, and there was no reason to agree, and they couldn't do it either.

But Lu Xiangsheng is different, he is the prime minister of the northwest, and he can complete that thing with a little bit of arranging, and they can't see it in advance.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at their expressions, and also guessed their thoughts, and said lightly: "Yu Li, I am a subordinate of Zheng Xibo, and I am the prime minister of the northwest of the Ming Dynasty, and I will definitely not give the thief a chance." Yu Qing, Zheng Xibo and me, the Lu family has a great favor, and I will not take revenge. To me, I, Lu Xiangsheng, would not do such a thing! ”

Everyone stared at his expression for a while before quietly breathing a sigh of relief.

If Lu Xiangsheng really wants to do so much, they don't have many choices, perhaps, only the following offenders, imprison Lu Xiangsheng, suspend the conquest and suppression, and wait for Zhou Zheng's order.

If you really want to do that, the victory or defeat is unpredictable, unimaginable!

Lu Xiangsheng saw that everyone's expressions were relaxed, and he sighed inexplicably in his heart, and then said: "Let's discuss the tactics, and then Feige will pass the book to Qin Liangyu, Zuo Liangyu and others, and after five days, start the operation!" ”

"The last general commands!" In the big tent, all the generals knelt on one knee and answered in a deep voice.

They all know that this will be the last battle!
