Zhou Zheng has been reading the information of Yongping Mansion, and he knows it very well, but he has his own plan.

The three fathers and sons were talking about things in the house, and the next day, a big event happened in the government and the opposition.

Emperor Chongzhen was charged with befriending close servants, cut the cabinet minister Feng Quan, and ordered Jinyiwei to be arrested and imprisoned.

This incident shows that Emperor Chongzhen's liquidation of the eunuch party has reached a new height, but for the government and the opposition, it is indeed a surprise and a fear.

Which of these ministers is not a protégé and former officials are all over the world, which one can be said to be a eunuch, and which one can be completely set aside

Everyone in the government and the opposition is in danger, but there are countless people who are trying to impeach the eunuchs and want to reap enough benefits in this troubled water.

For a time, the recitals of the government and the opposition flew into the general political envoys like snowflakes, and those who hissed and tried their best to impeach, those who complained with tears, those who pleaded inexplicably with grief and indignation, those who persuaded the country to seek the country, those who analyzed rationally and calmly, the ghosts, snakes, and spirits, all of which came out.

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youzhen had a calm face, looked at Li Guopu in front of him, and said: "Last time, there were more than 70 people in this eunuch list, this time, why are there only more than 30?"

Li Guopu stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, according to the facts, some people are not eunuchs"

Before he finished speaking, Chongzhen said angrily: "According to the facts, how did I hear that you have a close relationship with some of them, and you have a good relationship with them, whether you still accepted bribes and deliberately covered them up?"

Li Guopu was shocked, and hurriedly raised his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Chen Ke is self-controlled, never dares to seek half a profit for himself, and has no partiality. ”

Chongzhen decided in his heart, how could he allow others to quibble, snorted coldly, and said: "Continue to investigate for me, the investigation is detailed, and a eunuch is not allowed to let it go."

Li Guopu's scalp is numb, this is a big powder keg, it can be ignited at any time, once something happens, it is what Huang Liji said, he will be crushed and broken, and there is no place to bury him

Li Guopu hesitated again and again, but still said: "Your Majesty, the minister has been dizzy recently, and his body is weak, I don't know this."

"Enough"

Without waiting for Li Guopu to finish speaking, Chongzhen interrupted with a blue face.

This Li Guopu disappointed him too much, he didn't take any responsibility, he shirked when he encountered something, and even the tasks he assigned were perfunctory, which was exactly the same as Huang Liji

Li Guopu's body trembled, raised his hands, and did not dare to speak.

Zhu Youzhen's face was pale, and he stared at Li Guopu coldly.

This Li Guopu is no longer of great use, so who else can preside over the trial of Wei Zhongxian's rebellion case, Zhou Qingli can, but his official position is too low, and it is okay to do some investigations, and he is not qualified to try a bunch of Shangshu, cabinet ministers, and imperial relatives.

The faces of the people in the cabinet flashed in front of Chongzhen's eyes, and he found that there was no one available

Each one is unpredictable, selfish, and has no appearance of loyalty to the country at all

"Go ahead." Chongzhen looked extremely bored, and said with a wave of his hand.

Li Guopu was amnesty, and hurriedly said: "The minister retired." ”

Chongzhen looked at his back with a look of indifference.

As soon as Li Guopu left, Wang Chengen came in from outside and said, "Long live the master, several bachelors are already waiting." ”

The feast is the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen thinks that his knowledge is shallow, and he has to listen to lectures every day, which is quite punctual and never absent.

This is also known as the Imperial Lecture, which is held by Hanlin officials in turn, giving lectures to the emperor, the crown prince, and the prince.

Chongzhen took a deep breath, his face became soothed, and he got up and said, "You gentlemen can't wait for a long time, let's go." ”

Due to the fear of the courtiers, Wei Zhongxian's reversal case fell into a state of stagnation and stalemate, which made countless people see the opportunity and stir up the wind and rain in the chaos, making the court situation more and more chaotic.

A few days later, the Zhou Chamber of Commerce.

Cheng Economy held the thick account book, looked tired and excited, and said: "Owner, in the past few days, we have merged dozens of large and small commercial houses, all of which have been merged into our Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time, we are also picking people, and we already have a basic outline."

Zhou Zheng flipped through the account book in front of him, looked at the entry and exit of large sums of money, and nodded secretly.

Cheng Economy continued: "We are also selecting and recruiting people who are stationed in major salt shops, because there are too many people needed, and we are not only in the capital, but also in Nanzhili."

Although the Zhou Chamber of Commerce has some foundation, it is expanding too fast, and it needs enough time to digest, rectify, and sort out.

Zhou Zheng looked at it for a while, turned to Shangguan Xun who was standing on the side, and said, "When are you going to Yangzhou?"

Shangguan Xun's expression was a little strange, and he hurriedly said: "Go back to the east, the capital is a little stable here, and I will go to Yangzhou." ”

The base of sixteen salt merchants is in Yangzhou, and if you want to take it over completely, someone must go to Yangzhou to take over.

Zhou Zheng thought for a while and said, "Did Lao Wei say to go?"

Shangguan Xun said: "Wei Gongzi didn't say it. ”

Zhou Zheng nodded thoughtfully, Shangguan Xun had some shadows about going to Yangzhou, and he was probably reluctant to go, so he said: "Then he won't go, let him send someone to follow you to respond." ”

"Xie Dongjia." Shangguan Xun said.

Zhou Zheng explained for a while before leaving.

Cheng Economy, Shangguan Xun, He Qishou and others are all old businessmen, and there is Zhou's father to take care of them in the official face, and Zhou Zheng saves most of his worries.

Zhou Zheng left the Zhou Chamber of Commerce and turned to Zhou Ji.

With the continuous opening of various branches, Zhouji's flagship store has become a symbolic existence, stopped selling, and became a headquarters and distribution center.

Zhou Zheng walked not far away, and saw a dart team in front of the door, five or six carriages, and more than 20 men carrying boxes of things from inside, loading the carts, and being busy.

Zhou Zheng knew that Zhou Ji's goods were going to be sent to all parts of the country, but it was the first time he saw the dart team, and he was a little curious to go around the dart team.

There was an old man of half a hundred who saw Zhou Zheng, walked over and said with a smile: "This son is also here to buy Zhou Ji."

Zhou Zheng was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and said with a smile: "No, just take a look." ”

The old man seemed to see that Zhou Zheng was not a suspicious person, so he responded with a smile, and continued to direct the guys to carry it.

Zhou Zheng looked at it for a while and entered the weekly diary.

When I saw Shangguan Qing, I was stunned again.

Shangguan Qing was dressed in a strong suit, his hair was strangled, simple and capable, sitting there drinking tea, quite a bit of a heroine's demeanor.

Shangguan Qing watched Zhou Zheng come in, as if he was a little surprised, stood up, and said as before: "Second young master." ”

Zhou Zheng remembered it and said with a smile: "Your dart team"

Shangguan Qing snorted and said, "Well, thank you Second Young Master for taking care of you." ”

Zhou Zheng didn't deliberately take care of it, but Shangguan Qing is also from the Zhou Mansion, Liu Liuzhen will definitely take care of his own people, not to mention that her father is still the number two person in the Zhou Chamber of Commerce.

Zhou Zheng didn't tear it down, looked at her outfit, and said, "Where is it going this time?"

Shangguan Qing blinked and said, "I'm not going, I'll escort you to Yongping Mansion." ”

Zhou Zheng blinked and said, "You escort me to Yongping Mansion."

Shangguan Qingdao said: "Liu Gongzi's order." ”

Liu Gongzi is Liu Liuzhi.

Zhou Zheng glanced at the staircase and saw Liu Liuzhe's head retract in lightning.

"Let you send the letter to Liaodong, did you send it" Zhou Zheng turned to the staircase and shouted.

Liu Liuzhen hurriedly came out, accompanied by a smiling face, and said with a smile: "I sent it over a few days ago." ”
