Zhou Zheng didn't bother to say this to Zhang Guowei, and said with a smile: "If there is anything, even if you write to me, you can also ask me about the direction of the imperial court." ”

Zhang Guowei understood the meaning inside, stood up and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials will definitely live up to expectations." ”

Zhou Zheng smiled.

Zhang Guowei raised his hand to retire and turned to leave.

Sun Chuanting then came in and said, "My lord, don't like this Zhang Shilang?" ”

Zhou Zheng shook his head and said undeniably: "How is Xiong Wencan's matter?" ”

Sun Chuanting said: "Like Hong Chengchou, cut his nationality. ”

For an official, the reduction of citizenship should be the most serious disposition in addition to the punishment.

If you lose your official status, you will never be able to enter the office, which is equivalent to 'never being used'.

Hong Chengchou killed too many people and was lawless, and the court could not tolerate it. Xiong Wencan, probably because of political needs, because the imperial court no longer needs the prime ministers of the five provinces.

Zhou Zheng felt pity for Xiong Wencan, this person was indeed a talent, thinking about it, he suddenly looked at Sun Chuanting and smiled: "It's almost gone, do you think, when will it be my turn?" ”

Sun Chuanting listened to this, but did not smile, and said: "My lord, now, if you want to take a step back to protect yourself, you can't do it." ”

Zhou Zheng frowned slightly, nodded, and said with emotion: "My position is irregressible." ”

Sun Chuanting glanced outside and said, "My lord, Liaodong, Tianjin Wei, Shandong this place, no matter what, you can't let go, and you can't leave." ”

Zhou Zheng glanced at him, got up and said, "I'll write a letter later and bring my family to Tianjin." ”

Sun Chuanting's worry in his heart disappeared, and then said: "My lord, you said before that there will be chaos in the northwest?" ”

Zhou Zheng walked a few steps, stood at the door, looked in the northwest direction, and said: "The imperial court has exhausted the treasury, and the root cause of the northwest is unsolved. All I did was put the lid on the boiling cauldron, and soon, the lid would be lifted. ”

Zhou Zheng didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was very clear.

At that time, the water was all over the world, hot and hot, and the imperial court was no longer able to clean it up.

Sun Chuanting stood behind Zhou Zheng, also looking in the northwest direction, thinking in his heart when this lid would be opened.

……

Zhou Zheng was busy with various things in Liaodong, from Ningyuan to Tianjin Wei, then to Denglai in Shandong, and then from Weihaiwei to Lushun, all the way down, and only returned to Tianjin Wei at the end of December.

At this time, after the persuasion of the two brothers Zhou Zheng, Zhou Qingli finally agreed to go to Tianjin Wei for the New Year.

Zhou Zheng's station is in Ningyuan, Zhou Fang is the Shandong Senator in Jinan Mansion, Zhou Qingli is in the capital, and the nearest place to cross is Tianjin Wei.

Zhou Zheng had already asked Liu Liuzhe to buy a house in Tianjin Wei, and the family moved in, and it coincided with the New Year, so he was naturally very happy.

"Fubo, let people clean the garden, plant some festive, and change the water of the rockery......"

"Hey, this lantern is hanging crooked, yes, readjust......"

"What's the matter with you, I don't know if this couplet is reversed......"

Zhou Ding's walked all over the yard and led the people to tidy up the yard.

Xiao De Yao, Xiao Jing Yuan, Xiao De Wei plus Liu Liuzhe's children, Ding Qi's children, etc., are of the same age, scurrying around the yard, shouting non-stop.

These little guys, the eldest is nine years old and the younger one is five years old, and they can't control it anymore.

Shangguan Qing took the cotton clothes, and finally caught Xiao Deyu and put it on him, but he was soaked in the blink of an eye, and there was no figure.

Zhou Fang had just arrived in Tianjin Wei, and his small courtyard was not yet hot, so he said that he was going to Tianjin Wei to go around, and he didn't see him back for a long time.

Zhou Qingli was standing under the eaves at this time, with her hands behind her back, watching the children laughing in the snow, and her face was also full of smiles.

Fu Bo walked over from outside and said with a smile: "Master, this yard is good, right?" ”

Zhou Qingli looked at Xuehua and said, "Well, a few little guys have also grown up." ”

Fu Bo stood behind Zhou Qingli, looked at a few children, and said, "No, in a blink of an eye, the eldest young master and the second young master are already in their thirties." ”

Zhou Qingli saw that Xiao Deshen was about to fall, so she hurriedly rushed over and shouted at the same time: "Be careful." ”

The little one fell quickly, got up again, laughed and ran away.

Zhou Qingli didn't catch up, stopped, stood in the snow and watched a few children playing, and said with emotion: "I remember, Hengping and Zhengyun were much more honest when they were young. ”

Fu Bo followed up and said, "If you want to be honest, that's also the second young master." ”

Zhou Qingli snorted and said, "Where did Zhengyun go?" ”

Fu Bo said: "I heard that Li Shangshu personally went to Tianjin Wei and was going to borrow money from the second young master. ”

Zhou Qingli frowned when she heard this, and then shook her head.

A court has to live by borrowing silver, what is this like?

Seeing Zhou Qingli shaking his head, Fu Bo said with some uneasiness: "Master, I heard Liuzhen say that the second young master has successively lent more than two million taels to the imperial court. ”

Zhou Qingli sighed and said, "Zhengyun, this child, has stronger feelings for Daming than me, if you don't have any scruples, I'm afraid you will borrow more." ”

Fu Bo nodded, glanced at the direction of the gate, walked further, and said in a low voice: "Master, I think if it goes on like this, I'm afraid something big will happen." The second young master is already the governor of Jiliao, and if he is more involved with the imperial court, it may lead to a big disaster. ”

Zhou Qingli didn't know that with his hands behind his back, the wrinkles on his dark face were like knife carvings, just like the worries in his heart.

After being silent for a while, he said, "Zhengyun is measured. ”

Fu Bo looked at Zhou Qingli's side face, hesitated, and said in a low voice: "Master, I think the second young master is doing something else." ”

Fauber's hint is already obvious. He has followed Zhou Qingli for decades, and he is also the one who saw Zhou Zheng enter the office and become a second-class member all the way. Zhou Zheng can hide many things from outsiders, but he can't hide from him, and under the clues, he found a lot of clues.

Zhou Qingli put her hands behind her back and stared at several children, seeing that they were about to fall, she rushed over several times to hold on.

After a long time, Zhou Qingli said: "It's too big for me to care, I can't care so much." ”

Fu Bo understood what Zhou Qingli meant, looked at the few children running in the field, and said with a smile: "Master, you said, Liuzhen has been thin and weak since he was a child, and that Biqing is also a skeleton, why did he give birth to a little chubby?" ”

Liu Liuzhe's child is the same age as Zhou Zheng's child, but he is fatter than Xiao Deshen.

Zhou Qingli looked at the little chubby dun and said with a smile: "I know that this little guy can eat since he was a child, every time he comes to the house, he goes to the kitchen first, and he specializes in meat, and Biqing has been embarrassed to give silver several times......"

Fauber laughed as he listened.

Zhou Qingli also laughed endlessly.

When Zhou Zheng and Zhou Fang came back, it was already late, and the whole family gathered at the dinner table, the food was steaming, and the sound was even more covered.

Xiao Deyu shouted chicken legs in his mouth and asked Zhou Zhengdao: "Second uncle, will we not leave Tianjin in the future......

On the other side, his father Zhou Fang looked at Zhou Zhengdao and said: "Second brother, there are really a lot of Wei talents in Tianjin, you can borrow some from me, there are too many things in Shandong, and there is too much need for manpower......"

On the other side, Zhou Qingli was knocking on the table and said, "Don't say anything about eating, ...... eating"
