Liu Liuzhen looked around again, helped Zhou Zheng to get into the carriage, and said, "I, Meng Hezhou have checked, if you move, you can pull him off the horse at any time." ”

Zhou Zheng lifted the carriage curtain and said, "Don't worry, I haven't stood firm in the military department yet, wait and do it again." ”

Liu Liuzhen responded, and then said loudly: "Second young master, the master has been waiting in the mansion for a long time, let's go back to the mansion." ”

Zhou Zheng's carriage hadn't moved yet, and the yamen everywhere didn't know how many people were still watching.

Zhou Zheng is a troublesome figure in the eyes of many of them. Even though almost ten years have passed since those events, there are still not many people who want Zhou Zheng to come back.

Even if the court has changed one stubble after another, the original events are still vivid.

A person who dares to speak the truth is more terrible than those honey-mouthed swords.

"Eventful......"

I don't know how many people have expressed such feelings, which echo endlessly in the major yamen of various ministries.

Zhou Zheng, who was promoted to the military department, is certainly eye-catching, but he is not the only one.

Another person, before Zhou Zheng, had been promoted to the left squire of the military department, and that was Chen Xinjia!

This person is different from Cao Wenzhao, Lu Xiangsheng and other generals, he is both civil and military, both military and government affairs are extremely outstanding.

He is a man of the thirty-sixth year of Wanli, with rich qualifications, and was appreciated by Yang Sichang, and recommended as the left waiter of the military department, just half a month before Zhou Zheng entered Beijing.

I wasn't here today, and Zhou Zheng didn't see it.

Zhou Zheng sat in the carriage and staggered home, still thinking about Yang Sichang in his heart.

This person is indeed outstanding, let him serve as the secretary of the military department, without the constraints of Jianjiao, maybe he can really exterminate the bandits.

This is not in line with Zhou Zheng's plan.

What Liu Liuzhen said refers to is this person!

Zhou Zheng returned home much later than expected, and the meal prepared by Zhou's house was earlier.

But a group of people in the Zhou Mansion still waited, and only a few children were hungry to eat something.

Fu Bo and the others were waiting for Zhou Zheng at the door, and when they saw him come back, they were surprised to let people report inside, and greeted Zhou Zheng on the other hand: "Second young master, are you tired?" The lord and his in-laws have been waiting for a long time. ”

Zhou Zheng greeted with a smile and walked inside.

Sure enough, as soon as I arrived at the backyard, I saw that it was full of people, not only the in-laws of the Zhou family, but also some people who were relatively close.

As soon as Zhou Zheng came back, almost everyone stood up and greeted him with a smile.

Zhou Qingli, Ding Mian naturally sat still, Shangguan Xun instinctively wanted to stand up, suddenly remembered his identity, and sat a little reluctantly without moving.

Zhou Zheng greeted them one by one, walked in, and raised his hand to Zhou Qingli and the others.

Zhou Qingli watched Zhou Zheng come back, with a smile on her face, stood up and said, "Go wash first, we'll have dinner here." ”

Zhou Zheng answered, confessed, and turned back to his room.

As soon as he got out of the middle place, a little guy outside ran to Zhou Zheng with a twist, and shouted in a milky voice: "Daddy......"

Zhou Zheng's eyes widened, and he hurriedly bent down to pick up Xiao Deshen, rubbed his little face with his face, and said with a smile: "Do you miss your father?" ”

The little guy pulled Zhou Zheng's face with his little hands, and his little head shrank back desperately.

Shangguan Qing walked over from not far away and said softly, "Give it to me first, the bath water is ready." ”

Zhou Zheng glanced at her, walked forward with his son in his arms, and said, "There's nothing wrong at home, right?" ”

Shangguan Qing walked beside Zhou Zheng and said, "It's okay." ”

Zhou Zheng shook the little guy in his arms, teased, and said, "I won't leave for the time being, don't worry." ”

Shangguan Qing turned his head to look at Zhou Zheng's side face and said softly, "It's better outside than the capital." ”

Zhou Zheng was stunned, looked at Shangguan Qing's serious expression, and said with a smile: "It was before, but now it's not." ”

Shangguan Qing blinked, a little unclear.

Zhou Zheng didn't explain, looked at the little guy in his arms, and said, "Son, is it okay to take a bath with your father?" ”

The little guy pushed Zhou Zheng's face hard, babbling at Shangguan Qing, his little face was all for help.

Zhou Zheng laughed and carried him back to the house.

After Zhou Zheng took a bath, he took the little one back to the back hall and had dinner with a group of people.

At the dinner table, the focus is naturally on Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng captured Gao Yingxiang, relieved the Ming Dynasty of the great trouble, settled the government and the opposition, and was promoted to the head of the military department, and the topic was inseparable from him.

Zhou Zheng talked about the experience of most of the year, focusing on Gao Yingxiang, and casually commented a few words.

Ding Mian put down his chopsticks and said: "Zhengyun is right, Liukou is indeed my Ming's henchman, I am afraid that it will be inexhaustible for a while, and some relatives and friends have written to ask me what I think, and I am very worried." ”

The Ming Dynasty scholars were extremely disdainful of the rogues, because these rogues were not any 'rebels', they were all robbing houses, robbing the gentry, and outright bandits and robbers, how could the scholars like it?

This is also the reason why Gao Yingxiang, and later Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have always been rogues and cannot become 'uprisings'.

This point is also destined to make it impossible for them to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and establish a new dynasty.

In their bones, they do not have such a pattern, ability and conditions.

Zhou Qingli stood a little higher and sighed lightly: "This rogue's suppression has been more than ten years, and the more he suppresses it, the bigger and bigger it is, the government and the opposition were nervous and worried about the loss of the country, but now they are a little more stable." ”

Everyone present knew that Emperor Chongzhen was crying about the temple and the edict he had made, and nodded silently.

Everyone quickly skipped this depressing topic and turned to the fact that Zhou Zheng was about to take up the new military department.

Zhou Zheng said some ideas, as well as the people to bring in, which made everyone here very satisfied, because there were people from their family inside.

The meal lasted until midnight.

When the guests left, Zhou Zheng and his son sat in the gazebo, looking at the bright moonlight, drinking tea, and talking about the affairs of the government and the opposition.

Zhou Qingli said: "Yang Sichang is still a very capable person, he is more enterprising than Zhang Fengyi, you can capture Gao Yingxiang this time, and there is also the reason why Yang Sichang arranged it earlier." ”

Zhou Zheng nodded, to explain the ability and pattern of the last minister, Yang Sichang can definitely enter the top three, especially the strategy of 'opening the net on all sides', which almost eliminated the bandits, and is indeed more sharp and courageous than others.

The hundreds of thousands of dollars of money and food prepared were for his advance preparation for his strategy of suppressing bandits!

Zhou Qingli glanced at Zhou Zheng and said: "However, this person is quite domineering, only appointing people he is familiar with, and everyone else is an outsider, and he tries his best to fight and exclude dissidents." You are in the military department, and you are inevitably excluded by him. He has been very Sacred Heart lately, so you have to be careful. ”

Zhou Zheng spoke at this time and said: "On the way out of the palace, we reached a tacit understanding that we would not interfere with each other. ”

Zhou Qingli's expression was slightly different, he didn't expect that Zhou Zheng had just entered Beijing, and he actually reached a tacit understanding with Yang Sichang!

Zhou Qingli knew that there was something here, so she didn't ask too much, and said, "That's the best." You are now a squire in the military department, and you are going to enter the court every 39, you must not be impulsive in the court, the emperor's temper is becoming more and more uncontrollable, don't treat him as the first emperor. ”

Zhou Zheng snorted and said, "I plan to focus on the purge of Shandong, Tianjinwei, and Liaodong, and I don't have time to pay attention to the imperial court. ”

Zhou Qingli took a sip of tea and said: "You are now a squire of the military department, if you go out of Beijing to inspect, you will definitely bring the sword of Shang Fang, the governor of Liaodong, and the governor of Shandong will all be under your control, you can indeed do some things well, but you must also be careful, none of these feudal officials are vegetarians." ”

Zhou Zheng was already thinking about how to lay out a series of personnel in Liaodong, and said after listening: "I know, I will be cautious." ”
