Kou Huaiyi hurriedly said: "These two are indeed critical, but they are also the hottest. ”

Needless to say, the Ministry of Officials is known as the 'hidden phase', which is the hat of the officials in charge of the world, involving the most, staring at the most people, in this case, it seems that whoever goes up can grasp the power, but in fact it is also the most dangerous position.

The household department, in charge of money and grain, is also the key, but according to the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, the household department should be the most difficult to do in the six yamen, where does the money and grain come from?

Zhang Heyi said with a smile: "Then let's not fight, give Yuanfu." My lord, use these two positions to make a big deal with Motosuke! ”

Zhou Zheng suddenly smiled, these people are indeed not good at stubble.

Zhou Zheng stood up and said, "Go ahead, it's going to be very busy these days, so you don't have to come over if you have nothing to do." ”

When the people saw that the discussion had been decided, they stood up one after another, took their leave, and left.

Meng Hezhou and the others left, and then he said in a low voice: "My lord, there are indeed some people in the army who are unstable. ”

In any case, Zhou Zheng is not the first assistant, and it is really not surprising if Zhou Yanru is a little tempted to attract some people.

Zhou Zheng put his hands behind his back, looked outside, and said lightly: "I can't turn over the waves." Now that the capital is ours, I not only want the capital to be stable, but also the world! ”

Meng Hezhou understood, thought for a moment, and said: "All armies are ready, and they can send troops in three days, and the military intelligence department will investigate all the intelligence in the northwest as much as possible...... Jianyu is still outside the gate, and there is no change for the time being. ”

This day has been extremely long, and for many people. Relatively, for many people, it also passes quickly.

For example, Zhou Yanru and others jumped up and down all over the capital, they were too busy, and the time was simply not enough; For example, knowing that the capital has been recovered, Li Banghua, who is struggling to attack the rogues who are blocking the way, trying to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and is still in Huguang; For example, Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao and others who are anxiously preparing to pursue Li Zicheng.

There is also Dolgon, Zilharang, who has been outside the gate, sitting and watching the changes.

It was getting dark, and Zilharan and Dolgon were roasting lamb and drinking mare's milk wine, and their eyes looked south from time to time.

Beyond the Great Wall, it is the boundary of the Ming Dynasty.

Not far away, is the heart of the Ming Dynasty, Jingshi.

There, there are scenes that they don't want to see, but they can think clearly.

Dolgon threw down the knife in his hand and said unwillingly: "Zhou Zhengyun is busy with Li Zicheng, and he doesn't have time to pay attention to us, so let's rush in and loot!" ”

Zilharang looked at a piece of stone, his face was indifferent, and he said lightly: "There, there are still people guarding against us. If you really want to rush in, Zhou Zhengyun may turn around and deal with us. There are 20,000 cavalry in Shanhaiguan, although they are not our opponents, it is enough for us to be uncomfortable. ”

They only have 20,000 cavalry, and although they can run wild, they may have to explain themselves if they are trapped, entangled, or encounter a strong enemy, or block their retreat.

Dolgon exhaled deeply, he didn't like this feeling very much, his face was full of boredom, and said, "Then you can't do it like this!" ”

Jierharang said: "Although Your Majesty has surrounded Youtun, you can't help Jinzhou. Dongjiang Town is about to move, and Shenyang is not at peace, so we have to go back as soon as possible. ”

Dongjiang Town is stronger than before, the range of activities is getting wider and wider, their food is very precious, and they can't be requisitioned by the army at will, so to speak, they are in a very embarrassing situation now.

Some, strong on the outside and dry in the middle.

Dolgon was very unwilling, stood up, looked in the direction of the Great Wall, and said angrily: "One day, Benbel must conquer the capital and avenge his father Khan!" ”

Ji'er Harang's face was expressionless, thinking in his heart, what would Huang Taiji feel now.

Huang Taiji, who was far away in Liaodong, with 30,000 people, surrounded Youtun, but there was no action. 30,000 people, unable to capture the right tun defended by 20,000 people, only to increase casualties.

At this time, Zhou Zheng accepted Zhou Yanru's invitation and came to his mansion as a guest.

Zhou Zheng's guards surrounded the Zhou Mansion, and Zhou Zheng only brought a few people in.

Zhou Yanru stood at the door to greet him, and said with a smile on his face: "Zhengyun, I can wait for you, come quickly, I specially asked someone to make a table of good dishes!" ”

Zhou Zheng looked at his unpretentious smile, pretended to look around, and said, "Yuanfu, you don't have an ambush knife and axe here, right?" ”

Zhou Yanru was stunned, then nodded at Zhou Zheng with his hand, and said with a smile: "Make me happy, even if you have a knife and axe, it is against the thief, how can there be any to you Zhou Zhengyun, go!" ”

Zhou Yanru was very enthusiastic and took Zhou Zheng's shoulder.

Zhou Zheng squinted his eyes without moving, and walked in with him with a smile.

Seeing that the living room was empty, it was obviously just the two of them.

The guest and host sat down, Zhou Yanru picked up the wine glass, stood up, and said in a solemn voice: "Zhengyun, you saved the society from decline this time, and made great contributions to the country!" I, the first assistant, on behalf of the emperor and the people of the world, thank you! ”

Zhou Zheng stared at Zhou Yanru's face, picked up the wine glass and stood up, leaned closer, and said in a low voice: "Yuanfu, there is no poison in this wine, right?" ”

Zhou Yanru's righteous and awe-inspiring face suddenly twitched, his eyes flashed coldly, and he immediately shook his head and sighed lightly, and said in a very firm tone: "I know that Zhengyun doesn't like fame and fortune, but this glass of wine, no matter what, I have to respect you!" ”

With that, he threw himself on his back, and his whole body was filled with a taste of generosity and determination.

Zhou Zheng saw Zhou Yanru spitting on his face, disdainful in his heart, and sighed quietly, and said: "Since Yuanfu wants to drink, the lower official will accompany him for a drink, and he will admit that it is poisonous." ”

Zhou Yanru didn't care what Zhou Zheng said, Zhou Zheng drank this glass of wine, which means that they still have something to talk about.

Zhou Yanru didn't take Zhou Zheng's words to heart at all, and after sitting down, he said with a sigh on his face: "Zhengyun, this time not only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and hundreds of millions of Li people want to thank you, but I also want to thank you...... The thieves entered the capital, and there were countless deaths, if it weren't for you, I would have died......"

Zhou Zheng thought to himself, it is naturally useful to keep you, otherwise it would have been thrown out for you a long time ago.

This Zhou Yanru, one 'Zhengyun', completely made Zhou Zheng a junior, and he didn't feel that Zhou Zheng was also a cabinet minister, or Zhengxibo.

Zhou Zheng didn't care about his words at all, and said: "Yuanfu, the thief is in Shanxi, and it seems that there is a tendency to come back." Jianyu is not far from the gate, and he may come in at any time, you have to find a way to find this money and food......"

Zhou Yanru saw that Zhou Zheng was completely unanswered, the corners of his mouth moved, and he had to say: "The head of the household Shangshu Li Shiwen was tortured by the thieves and seriously injured, and he has already told me that he wants to resign, and I am also worried about the candidate for the new Shangshu." ”

Zhou Zheng saw him get to the point, so he looked serious and said, "Shi Kefa, I think it's good." ”

Shi Kefa also participated in the suppression of bandits in the northwest under the command of Zhou Zheng.

In Zhou Yanru's opinion, this is naturally Zhou Zheng's person, and he shook his head decisively and said: "Shi Kefa is really good, I hope he will be the governor of Shanxi and defend Jinggi, which is not suitable." ”

Zhou Zheng was even more straightforward, and said in a firm tone: "I think he is suitable." ”
