Chapter 244: The concubine is rampant
No matter what Rong Shan thought, he couldn't keep Zhou Zheng, and he couldn't stop the internal supervisor from taking Zhou Zheng away.
However, Rongshan still wanted to talk to Zhou Zheng.
He appeared outside the door of Zhou Zheng's prison, looked at Zhou Zheng, who was reading calmly and calmly, frowned, and said, "Is it your father who pleaded to the emperor in the palace?" β
Rong Shan could only think so, otherwise how could the emperor send an inner eunuch to take Zhou Zheng away?
It is taken away, not released, not pursued, this is an ambiguous method of disposal.
Zhou Zheng looked up at him, pondering the meaning of his words, and asked, "Who is the adult?" β
"Dali Temple Zuo Shaoqing, Rongshan." Rong Shan said lightly.
Zhou Zheng sighed, this is also a eunuch, it seems to be Cui Chengxiu's protΓ©gΓ©? In-law?
Rong Shan looked at Zhou Zheng and said indifferently: "After entering the palace, be cautious in your words and deeds, don't say a word that you shouldn't say." Otherwise, the emperor won't be able to protect you, don't doubt what I said, you can survive to this day, it's all luck. β
Zhou Zheng still didn't understand what was going on, blinked, and said, "Rong Shaoqing, aren't you afraid that I will tell the emperor this?" β
Rong Shan's eyes flashed with contempt, and he said: "Young man, don't be presumptuous, you don't understand the court situation, in the future, you won't even know how to die." β
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "Lord Xie reminds." β
Rong Shan saw that Zhou Zheng looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, Meiyu was disgusted, and said, "Let's go, someone in the palace will pick you up." β
Zhou Zheng was slightly stunned, in the palace, how could someone in the palace come to pick him up? Is it Zhu Youzhen who can't help but make a move? Shouldn't it? Rong Shan mentioned Daddy Zhou just now, Daddy Zhou made a move? What's more, he left a message, Daddy Zhou shouldn't be reckless, right?
Zhou Zheng was suspicious, but he also knew that he had to go out.
This is slightly inconsistent with his plan.
Zhou Zheng cleaned up and followed Rongshan to the main hall of Dali Temple.
The inner supervisor looked at Zhou Zheng coming, intact, as if relieved, looked at Rongshan, and said lightly: "Our family has taken it away, what else does Dali Temple have to say?" β
Rong Shan hurriedly said: "What can the lower officials say, even if the father-in-law takes it away, by the way, the criminal department has withdrawn the case, someone maliciously falsely accused Zhou Zhengyun, and the criminal department is already investigating the mastermind behind the scenes." β
The inner supervisor snorted without being salty, turned around and left.
Zhou Zheng glanced at Rongshan, curious, Huang Liji shot at him, he was simply forcing him to die in the net, what is the relationship between Cui Chengxiu and Huang Liji, and what kind of reaction will he have after knowing it?
These are incomprehensible, when Zhou Zheng followed the inner prison out, he was already thinking in his heart, whether Meng Hezhou had made a move.
He didn't know that Cui Chengxiu had already entered the palace with a resignation book.
Not far out of Dali Temple, the inner supervisor stopped, looked at Zhou Zheng and smiled: "Zhou Gongzi, you can go." β
Zhou Zheng was thinking about whether Zhu Youzhen made a move, listening to the words of this internal supervisor, his expression moved slightly, and he stuffed some broken silver in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Dare to ask my father-in-law, who saved me, and I will come to thank you another day?" β
The inner prisoner took it quietly, and said with a smile: "Zhou Gongzi can think of it." The small ones still have something, so I will take my leave first. β
Zhou Zheng was a little stunned, the attitude of this inner prison was a little too good, looking at his back and thinking, who did it?
Zhu Youzhen in the palace? Li Shi, or Li Zhong?
Zhou Zheng couldn't guess, pondered for a moment, turned his head to look at the Great Yamen of the Three Law Divisions, and turned to the direction of Daming Gate.
Meng Hezhou had been staring at Dali Temple, and as soon as Zhou Zheng came out, he was waiting in a corner.
Meng Hezhou glanced around and said in a low voice: "Cui Chengxiu has just entered the palace, I don't know what I'm going to do." Our people are ready, just outside the Daming Gate. β
This is another backhand arranged by Zhou Zheng to prevent Choi Chengxiu from being uncompromising.
Zhou Zheng looked at him and said, "I was a little surprised when I was released, I don't know what happened above." Let's go, go to Daming Gate. β
Meng Hezhou also means this, the situation is treacherous, and if you don't see it clearly, you can't make a move easily.
Zhou Zheng and the two of them made a plan and acted separately, one bright and one dark, towards the Daming Gate.
Daming Gate is not only the main gate of the Forbidden City, but also the most important yamen of the Ming Dynasty, such as four of the six departments, and the five armies are all here.
Zhou Zheng came to Daming Gate not far away, and saw a lot of refugees crowded in the corner, most of them came from Shanxi, Henan, desperate, all the way to the capital begging, swept at a glance, there were hundreds of people!
Zhou Zheng sat down in a teahouse, drank tea, and quietly looked at the direction of Daming Gate.
Zhou Zheng drank an unknown number of cups of tea, Damingmen has been very quiet, and Zhou Zheng's ears and eyes scattered in the capital are very quiet, and there is no special news.
Among them, Liu Liuzhe and people from Menghe Prefecture have been here, and they can't detect any unusual taste.
"It shouldn't be......"
Zhou Zheng said to himself, will Huang Liji stop so easily? Or did the intervention of the internal supervisor make things different?
Just when Zhou Zheng couldn't sit still and wanted to go out, footsteps suddenly sounded at the staircase, and someone went upstairs.
Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, he not only took the second floor, but there were still people staring outside, why did someone come up silently?
Zhou Zheng looked at the staircase with a vigilant expression.
Footsteps approached, revealing the human head.
Zhou Zheng's pupils shrank, and he saw the person who came - Cui Chengxiu!
Didn't he enter the palace? How did it end up here?
Cui Chengxiu went up to the second floor, came to the table in front of Zhou Zheng, his eyes fell on the victims not far away, and said in a flat tone: "Your back hand? Yes, if they really collide with Daming Gate, I will not be far from death. β
Zhou Zheng was alert, his face did not move, he stood up, looked at Cui Chengxiu's gaze, and said, "They should have come more, seven or eight out of ten died on the road." β
Cui Chengxiu knew what Zhou Zheng was going to say, and said: "I am so big in the Ming Dynasty, with a population of tens of millions, let alone a few hundred, even if there are thousands of deaths, what about tens of thousands?" It's just a disease of scabies. β
Cui Chengxiu's expression and tone were very calm, which made Zhou Zheng extremely vigilant and a little angry, and said, "Are they suffering from scabies?" Did you know that the Great Wall collapsed in an anthill? They are also human lives, no different from us. β
These high-ranking officials, who are high up and have no worries about food and clothing, do not understand the importance of the people and the people's hearts, and the rebellion in Shaanxi is not the disease of scabies, which will lead to the destruction of the Ming Dynasty!
Cui Chengxiu put his hands behind his back and said, "Keep these big truths for those who are willing to listen." Stop, I have already resigned to the emperor in person, refused the emperor's consolation, and left Beijing within three days. β
Zhou Zheng's brows sank, Cui Chengxiu was willing to resign? Or is it just a procrastination tactic with some other purpose?
Cui Chengxiu didn't care what Zhou Zheng thought, turned his head to look at him, and said: "I don't care what your purpose is, I want you to understand that the reason why I resigned is not the so-called evidence you have, but because of the situation, next time, you will not have such a good opportunity." At least a month, as long as half a year, I will return to the cabinet, and at that time, no one will be able to protect you. Here you go, choose a good coffin for your Zhou family and find a feng shui treasure. β
