When Zhou Zheng came to Zhou Fang's room, he saw that the couple was teasing the child.

Zhou Fang saw Zhou Zheng coming in, stood up and said, "You are back, I thought you would not come back this year." ”

Zhou Zheng smiled, seeing his sister-in-law Zhou Ding's smile, he took out two pairs of small armor from behind him, one male and one female, walked to the cradle, looked at the eldest niece and eldest nephew with open eyes and chirping, and said, "Come, see what good things the second uncle has brought you?" Armor! This is made for you by the second uncle himself, and you can wear it until you ......are one year old."

Zhou Fang suddenly said angrily: "You are here to block me......"

Zhou Ding patted him, smiled and said to Zhou Zheng: "Thank you, second uncle." ”

Zhou Zheng handed two pairs of small armor to Zhou Ding's family, took out two long-lived golden locks, and said: "I gave them this beating, I hope they are safe and live a long life." ”

Zhou Ding's smile became even more and said, "Second Uncle has a heart." ”

"That's pretty much it." Zhou Fang was satisfied.

Zhou Zheng looked at the two little guys, who were less than a month old, and said, "Zhou Deyu, Zhou Jingyu, a good name." ”

The two little guys huddled together, as if they were asleep, as if they were not awake, and they didn't know if they could hear Zhou Zheng's words.

Zhou Ding said: "It's all the names taken by my father, saying that your generation is a one-character generation, and they are German characters, and 'Qingyi De Hanchang' is so ranked." ”

Zhou Zheng knew that every family had a character generation, and because he and Zhou Fang were 'one', the middle word was omitted.

Zhou Fang stretched out his hand and teased the two little guys, talking to Zhou Fang and his wife.

After a while, Zhou Zheng went out of Zhou Fang's house, first took a shower, and then went to Zhou Qingli's study.

The father and son were all there, all wearing thick cotton clothes, holding teacups, and talking about things inside and outside the government.

Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "I heard about you in Yongping Mansion, and you did a good job." Bi Shangshu praised you for daring in front of the emperor before, many things are worth learning from, and the emperor is very appreciative. ”

For the praise of the court or Chongzhen, Zhou Zheng did not have any excitement, this kind of affirmation is only temporary, I don't know when he will suddenly turn his face, and settle accounts after the autumn.

After Zhou Qingli finished saying this, he said: "However, there are still some voices in the court, especially the officials of Kedao, who have been accusing you of harming the people and competing with the people for profit. ”

Zhou Zhengdao: "It has been rectified almost, although it has offended some people, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, if it is properly managed, maybe Yongping Mansion will be the strong support of Liaodong, more than Tianjin Wei and Shandong Denglai." ”

Zhou Qingli is also in a high position now, looking more and farther, silent for a while, and said: "Denglai has been half-saved since Master Yuan left; After Tianjin Wei went to Li Banghua, it was also filthy, and he really couldn't count on it. ”

Yuan Keli, governor of Denglai, and Li Banghua, governor of Tianjin.

Zhou Fang listened to their conversation, couldn't interject, couldn't help but be a little anxious, and said, "Dad, I heard that Han Yuanfu intends to purge the officials?" ”

Zhou Qingli glanced at him, then looked at Zhou Zheng, took a sip of tea slowly, and said, "Han Yuanfu is under great pressure, I'm afraid he is powerless." ”

Zhou Zheng savored Zhou Qingli's words and nodded thoughtfully.

Although Han Huang is an old minister of the four dynasties and two first assistants, first, the situation in the court is chaotic, and second, Chongzhen is strong, and he wants to rectify the rule of officials, but it is impossible, that is, he does not have this ability, nor does he have this opportunity.

Squeezing up and down, he may have to become a 'echo worm', Chongzhen's 'echo worm', and the 'echo worm' of the opposition and the opposition.

"Dad, how far has the 'eunuch reverse case' progressed?" Zhou Zheng asked Zhou Qingli.

Zhou Qingli said: "Yuan Fu on the grounds of 'auxiliary ministers only vote to propose', ten days ago, the emperor gave the former eunuch party to Yuan Fu, Qian Ge Lao, Li Ge Lao and others, but they mostly shirked on the grounds of 'not being familiar with the law', and then this matter was handed over to the criminal department Shangshu, Qiao Shangshu tried again and again, and set a total of 315 people. After the Lantern Festival, an order will be issued. ”

Zhou Zheng's expression was calm and he did not speak.

After nearly a year and a half, this turmoil of liquidating the eunuchs is finally coming to an end.

Zhou Fang replied indignantly: "I think it's still too light, which of them shouldn't be cut ten times or eight times according to the law?" As a result, only more than 20 people were executed, more than 10 people were exiled, and most of the others were dismissed......"

The reason why the eunuch case has been delayed for a long time is because the involvement is too extensive, and the courtiers are afraid of offending too many people and dare not get involved.

This also led to a terrible consequence, that is, the resurgence of the eunuch party, and in the later period of Chongzhen, the party struggle between the eunuch party and the Donglin party rose again.

In history, it was even extended to Nanming, the defeat of Nanming, and the party fought for the first crime!

Zhou Zheng shook his head in his heart, what kind of 'ZTE' is talking about in such a situation?

Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "Bi Shangshu wants to see you." ”

Zhou Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I have to go out for a run tomorrow, I'm afraid I don't have much time." ”

Zhou Qingli said: "There are more people who have come to visit the house recently, you pay attention, if you have a chance, I will take you to see Bi Shangshu." ”

Zhou Zheng nodded indispensably.

After saying this, Zhou Qingli began to ask some of the policies that Zhou was implementing in Yongping Mansion, although under the banner of 'restoring the ancestral system', many of Zhou Zheng's reforms were still unexpected, such as the 'Propaganda Division', 'Business Rules' and so on.

Zhou Zheng avoided some taboos and talked to Zhou Qingli in detail.

Zhou Fang felt the pressure, watching them ask and answer questions and couldn't interject, thinking in his heart that he had to do something.

……

The Zhou family is an upstart, especially Zhou Qingli, a household servant who came out of the hidden mansion, many people predict that it may not be long before he will be a book, and some people predict that within a year, Zhou Qingli may enter the cabinet!

According to the speed of change of high-ranking officials in the imperial court, this is entirely possible!

Therefore, before and after the Lantern Festival, the Zhou family was in the market, and I don't know how many people came to visit.

Zhou Zheng ignored these and began to walk around Zhouji, Chamber of Commerce, Jiujiang Pavilion and other places.

He has been away from Beijing for nearly a year, and he has too many things to do, understand, and a lot of people to move around.

Zhou Zheng took a long time to go to the Chamber of Commerce and listened to the report of Cheng Economy and others. These two places alone took Zhou Zheng two days.

Then he went to Jiujiang Pavilion to visit Han Cheng and others, and he didn't stop until the 17th.

On this day, the Qianqing Palace officially issued an edict to rule against the case.

Perhaps the government and the opposition have long reached a consensus, and it has not caused much turmoil, but from the north and south to the two capitals, hundreds of people have lost their officials, and they are all high-ranking officials.

Those who are to be put to death and exiled are already in prison.
