Zhou Zheng thought for a while, and said to Yao Tong: "Well, I know, you go back and draft a leave for me, and the time is as long as possible." ”

Yao Tongshun immediately nodded and said, "It's an adult!" ”

Yao Tongshun also felt that it was very inappropriate for Zhou Zheng to go back to work now, and he should keep a low profile now and wait for this matter to subside slowly.

Zhou Zheng naturally didn't want to hide, he had a lot of things to do, and it was a waste of time to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Zhou Zheng hummed and was about to go straight to the house.

When Yao Tongshun saw it, he hurriedly said: "By the way, my lord, Tian Yushi, Zheng Yushi has been released, and the official has been reinstated." ”

Zhou Zheng paused, turned his head to look at Yao Tongshun, a little stunned.

He just let Cheng Economy operate, and he will release it now?

Immediately, he thought for a moment and said, "Why? ”

Yao Tongshun glanced around, approached and whispered: "The two of them have someone up there, and if the adults are fine, they will be fine." ”

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows, and shook his head secretly in his heart.

He still doesn't know much about the current court situation, and he's been in the capital for a long time, so who doesn't have a relationship?

What's more, now that the township party is prevalent, these two are the imperial history, how can they not have a backstage?

Zhou Zhengdao: "Well, you give me their address, and I will invite them in a few days." ”

Yao Tongshun hurriedly told Zhou Zheng the address, and said a few words about the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then left in a hurry.

After Zhou Zheng came back, he knew that Father Zhou and Zhou Fang had not returned, so he went straight to the study.

Zhou Zheng sat on a chair in the study, thinking about this meeting with Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan's purpose Zhou Zheng didn't ask at the time, but it was mostly related to Yuan Chonghuan's plan in Liaodong, probably because he was worried that Zhou Zheng would set off something in the imperial court again to affect him, so he came to see him once.

But no matter what, Zhou Zheng needs to deal with it seriously.

Yuan Chonghuan's recommendation of him to go to Shenyang would not be untargeted, and he might have some purpose.

Zhou Zheng pondered for a while, then stood up, took out a pen and paper, and began to practice calligraphy seriously.

Practicing calligraphy can calm the mind, calm the breath, and calm the mind.

This was the second day of the court meeting, and the government and the opposition were relatively calm and restrained, and nothing major happened.

In the evening, Zhou Zheng was in Zhou Qingli's study and talked about meeting Yuan Chonghuan.

Zhou Qingli frowned, thinking that Zhou Zheng could take the opportunity to resign and avoid the turmoil in the government and the opposition, but he didn't expect Yuan Chonghuan to abruptly recommend Zhou Zheng as an envoy.

Zhou Qingli's dark face had a touch of solemnity, and said: "Liaodong is quite complicated, even if Yuan Chonghuan has Ning Yuan's merits, he may not be able to suppress it. He recommended you to Jianyu, I am afraid that he will test Jianyu. ”

Zhou Zheng listened to Zhou Qingli's words, and his face moved.

He showed great disgust for Jianlu, and if he went, he could judge some of the new chieftain's thoughts from Jianlu's attitude towards him.

For example, if Jianlu killed Zhou Zheng unscrupulously, he might soon attack the Ningjin front line again, if not, it was impossible to say that the new chief would have to endure for a while.

Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "It's best not to go." ”

Zhou Zheng pondered for a while and said, "I'm afraid it's not that easy." ”

Not to mention this matter, the apocalypse has already nodded, just saying that those in the government and the opposition who want Zhou Zheng to die will not be able to help Zhou Zheng not go, as long as he shows a little action that he does not want to go, there will be a huge force to push him away.

Zhou Qingli's brows tightened more and more, and said seriously: "I'll go and inquire about who the envoy is, and when the time comes, don't be impulsive." ”

Zhou Zheng knew that Father Zhou was worried, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, in fact, I'm afraid of death." ”

Zhou Qingli was not comforted by Zhou Zheng's words, and was very worried. His second son is thoughtful and thoughtful, but there is always an inexplicable energy that attacks uncontrollably at some point.

Maybe it's madness. Zhou Qingli comforted herself like this in her heart.

……

Zhou Zheng took leave and did not go to work in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

I was in the house for a few days, reading books and practicing calligraphy, and I didn't go out.

The sixth year of the Apocalypse, December 21.

Tian Zhenshu and Zheng Shouli were invited by Zhou Zheng to drink and chat in Zhou Zheng's room and talk about state affairs until midnight.

The two already knew what Zhou was doing outside, and they were very emotional.

"Brother Zhengyun, admire my brother!" Tian Zhenshu raised his glass, his eyes wide open, and his face was drunk red.

What he said was Zhou Zheng's 'feat' in the court twice, and it was also Zhou Zheng's willingness to spend 5,000 taels to save the two.

Zheng Shouli followed with a wine glass and said with a drunken smile: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, brother, the two of us are the price of a school captain, how can we use five thousand taels!" ”

Daming is now rampant in buying and selling officials, and some fat shortages are clearly priced, as long as there is silver, it is too easy to be an official.

Even later, Emperor Chongzhen began to sell officials, with a nice name, called 'donating officials'.

The 'school captain' that Zheng Shouli said is the cavalry of Jinyiwei, a school captain, five hundred taels.

Zhou Zheng raised his glass and said, "Not to mention that the two of you are affected by me, even the friendship between colleagues is more than five thousand taels." ”

Tian Zhenshu is not a person who is good at expressing emotions, holding a wine glass, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I won't say anything hypocritical, and your brother's business will be my business in the future!" ”

As he spoke, he leaned up.

Zheng Shouli followed and said: "That's right, let's advance and retreat together, even if we get into the oil pot, we are not alone!" ”

Zhou Zheng saw that the two of them were already half drunk, and said a few words together, and they also drank it all.

In the middle of the moon, the wine was also enjoyable, Tian Zhenshu seemed to be drunk, and looked at Zhou Zhengdao with some shaking: "I know that my brother has some friendship with Wei Xizhuang, but I advise my brother to stay away, even if he doesn't do evil, he is surnamed Wei in the end." ”

Zhou Zheng and Wei Xizhuang are also considered to be ignorant, these days they have supported each other to get to this day, Wei Xizhuang can help Zhou Zheng, Zhou Zheng categorically has no reason to fear friends.

Thinking that Wei Zhongxian would be destroyed next year, and all the Wei clan would be killed, Zhou nodded with Tian Zhen on the front, but what he said in his heart was: It seems that you have to take precautions and find a way for Wei Xizhuang to live.

Tian Zhenshu saw Zhou Zheng nodding, laughed, and said, "Happy today, come, drink again!" ”

Zhou Zheng and the three of them drank the rice wine brewed by the Zhou family, which was mellow and delicious, but it was not intoxicating, and the three of them drank for a long time Zhou Zheng was not drunk.

The three of them drank for a while, Tian Zhenshu and Zheng Shouli couldn't support it, so they left the Zhou Mansion.

Zhou Zheng sent the family to send them back, stood at the door and blew the wind for a while before turning around, and it didn't take long to see Father Zhou standing at the door of the back hall.

Zhou Zheng walked over and said, "Dad, why haven't you slept yet?" ”

Zhou Qingli saw that Zhou Zheng was full of alcohol, but she didn't care, and said, "Did they pull you into the fellow townspeople's association?" ”

"Fellow townspeople?" Zhou Zheng really didn't know that there was such a thing, and said, "No, I didn't mention it." ”

Zhou Qingli nodded and said, "It's okay if you don't mention it, if they want to pull you in, don't agree." ”

Although Zhou Zheng did not know what kind of organization the 'Township Association' was, he could guess that it was nothing more than a manifestation of the Township Party.

"I see." Zhou Zhengdao.

Zhou Zheng didn't want to get caught up in party struggle, whether it was a giant like the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party, or a big friend party like the Zhejiang Party and the Chu Party, or various township parties, Zhou Zheng would not touch it.

With his current identity, what else can he do besides being a thug and cannon fodder?
