When Zhou Zheng returned to Zhou's mansion, Zhou Qingli and Zhou Fang were already waiting.

In Zhou Qingli's study, the three fathers and sons sat at the small table and drank some wine.

Zhou Fang looked a little excited, and looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "Second brother, you did a beautiful job this time!" I knew this earlier, and I would have been in the book, but it's a pity, it's a pity! By the way, what are you going to do with the others, will they be impeached together, or will they come one by one? ”

Zhou Zheng blinked, this big brother is too excited, what kind of stupid thing is he talking about?

Zhou Qingli glanced at the eldest son and said directly to Zhou Zheng: "You really took a risk this time, if the emperor insists on keeping Cui Chengxiu, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

The new emperor is still forbearing, and is busy sorting out the situation and the relationship between the courtiers, and adopts a pacification strategy against the eunuchs. Cui Chengxiu, as the general of the eunuch party, if the new emperor insists on retaining Wei Zhongxian to stabilize Wei Zhongxian, then the eunuch party will inevitably be more arrogant, and Zhou Zheng, who is impeached in a letter, will inevitably become a victim of appeasing the eunuch party.

Zhou Zheng naturally thought about this possibility, and said: "Well, I have carefully calculated, Cui Chengxiu has to go, and it is useless for the new emperor to stay." ”

Zhou Qingli heard that this second son was still doing a lot of things under the table, and was silent for a while, and said, "What are you going to do next?" ”

Cui Chengxiu's resignation is the result of Zhou Zheng's direct participation in several performances, whether the eunuch party is retaliating or everyone is in danger, there will definitely be actions next, and they can't control it so much.

The actions of the new party are even more obvious, and it is clear that they want to push Zhou Zheng to the front and become a pawn to test the eunuch party and the new emperor.

Zhou Zheng was not allowed to be in the court before, and now the two parties are working together to calculate Zhou Zheng, how should Zhou Zheng's career go in the future?

Zhou Zheng understood what Zhou Qingli meant, and said: "I have no intention of staying in the capital, let them be." ”

Neither the eunuch party nor the new party will be complacent for long, and the situation they are looking forward to will not appear.

Zhou Qingli listened to Zhou Zheng's words and said, "I'm asking you what you do next?" ”

Zhou Qingli already knows a little about Zhou Zheng, Zhou Zheng clearly has a plan in his heart, step by step, not in a hurry, he wants to know what else Zhou Zheng wants to do, what he wants to do!

Zhou Fang listened, looked at Zhou Zheng with some eagerness, and 'take me along' almost wrote on his face.

Zhou Zheng looked at Father Zhou, pondered for a moment, and said, "Wait." ”

"What are you waiting for?" Zhou Qingli said.

"Wait for the new emperor to make a move." Zhou Zheng said succinctly.

Zhu Youzhen has already lived in the palace, and it is almost September now, and in another month at most, Zhu Youzhen will be able to sort out the situation and control the situation, at that time, he will decisively take action against the eunuchs, mercilessly, quickly and ruthlessly!

Zhou Qingli silently pondered Zhou Zheng's words, and said after a while: "Even if the emperor wants to hold power, he may just drive Wei Zhongxian and expel the eunuchs, and there will be no too drastic action. ”

Zhou Zheng shook his head and said: "Wei Zhongxian is not a simple eunuch, his power has never been seen in ancient times, no emperor can tolerate it, he is alive, the new emperor will only toss and turn, like a man on his back, difficult to sleep." ”

Zhou Qingli frowned, and nodded imperceptibly for a moment.

Wei Zhongxian is indeed what Zhou Zheng said, not only a eunuch, but also a minister, his power from the palace and outside the palace, to the frontier, the military and political are unimaginable, the new emperor wants to become a real emperor, except for complete cut, there is no other choice.

It's not whether the emperor is benevolent or not, or whether Wei Zhongxian is useful, but the ass decides the head, as an inevitable move for the emperor!

Zhou Zheng knew that Father Zhou was worried about him, and after a while, he said: "I will sit and watch the direction of the wind next, and I will easily not make a move, Jiujiang Pavilion will be completed, and I have a lot of things." ”

Zhou Qingli could hear that this was comfort, picked up the teacup casually, and said, "Before I left the palace just now, the emperor seemed to want to see you. ”

Zhou Zheng was stunned, Zhu Youzhen wanted to see him?

Zhou Qingli took a sip of tea, put it down and said, "I resigned, you are not suitable to see the emperor now." ”

Zhou Zheng understood, Zhou Qingli didn't want Zhu Youzhen to see him, and seemed afraid that he would say something that he 'shouldn't say'.

Zhou Qingli then said: "Now the eunuchs, Donglin is staring at you, you should be careful." ”

Zhou Zheng didn't say that he was attacked just now, and said, "I know." ”

There is no doubt about the eunuch party, as for the so-called new party, in the eyes of many people, it is the Donglin party, and the Donglin party represents the clear stream to a large extent.

The two parties are even more intolerant of him, and in the eyes of many people, Zhou Zheng's road to officialdom will be extremely difficult to walk, and even his career will be ruined.

Zhou Fang wanted to speak and stopped, and the envy on his face was undisguised. He is also eager to make a career, and it is even more difficult to control himself when he sees Zhou Zheng's big moves one after another, especially the eunuch general Cui Chengxiu.

Zhou Qingli knew her eldest son very well, and said lightly: "Hengping, you will follow me into the palace tomorrow." ”

What the second son does is quite measured, and if this eldest son intervenes, it may be a big disaster.

Zhou Fang knew what Father Zhou meant, the corners of his mouth moved, and he didn't say anything. While the impeachment of the eunuchs is a big deal, the new emperor is even greater.

When the three fathers and sons of the Zhou family discussed, there was also progress on Meng Hezhou's side.

A secret guard came out of a torture room with a paper, handed it to Meng Hezhou, and said, "Meng Tou, it's recruited, it's Cui Chengli's person, he let him do it." ”

Meng Hezhou was stunned, took it and looked at it, and said with some disbelief: "He didn't tell you, right?" ”

The secret guard hurriedly said: "Meng Tou, don't worry, although these people are all outlaws, they can't resist the punishment, it's absolutely true!" ”

The reason why Meng Hezhou didn't believe it was because Zhou Zheng and Cui Chengxiu were both on the cusp of the storm, Cui Chengxiu was Zhou Zheng's involvement, if something happened to Zhou Zheng, the first thing anyone thought of was Cui Chengxiu.

Annoyed and angry, this kind of behavior is intolerable to the scholars, if it breaks out, Cui Chengxiu doesn't want to leave Beijing, the prison is his permanent destination.

This Cui Chengli is in a hurry, is she really a stupid pig? Does Choi Chengxiu know?

Meng Hezhou just thought about it, didn't bother to care about this, and said directly: "Let people give it to Zhou Zhengyun, these people are optimistic, especially the leader, find a way to let him live." ”

"Yes." The Dark Guard replied.

At this time, in Cui's mansion, Cui Chengxiu was a little anxious, staring at the person in front of him through the crack in the door, and asked, "Cao Zhihuang hasn't come back yet?" ”

The subordinate didn't know how many times he had answered, but he still said honestly: "Yes, there is no response." ”

Cui Chengxiu frowned and said to herself: "It shouldn't be, how can it take so long to clean up a Zhou Zheng?" Cao Zhihuang's shots have always been crisp and neat, why did it take so long this time? ”

The subordinate looked at Cui Chengli and didn't dare to say it.

He wanted to say, will Cao Zhihuang miss it? But thinking that Zhou Zheng is an ordinary eunuch's family, more than a dozen outlaws, there is no reason to fail.

Cui Chengli naturally didn't think about it in this regard, Cao Zhihuang had assassinated many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and he had never failed.

"Second master, I'm back from afar, let you go and see him." A subordinate ran over and said.

Cui Chengli was startled through the crack in the door and said, "What's the matter?" ”

The man was taken aback when he heard Cui Chengli's tone, and hurriedly said, "It seems that the second master is asked to prepare silver." ”

Cui Chengli was relieved at this time, snorted coldly, and said, "Then don't open the door quickly." ”

The subordinate hurriedly opened the door and let Cui Chengli out.

Cui Chengxiu had almost packed up at this time, and was about to pack up his things and leave Beijing, how did he know his good brother, what Cui Chengli did behind his back, and there was still a relaxed smile on his face at the moment.
