Zhou Zheng's words soon spread in Zhou Zheng's family, and many people who were confused and tormented in their hearts were suddenly relieved, suddenly enlightened, and more proactive in doing things, and even many people concisely summarized Zhou Zheng's words, and hung calligraphy in the center, always vigilant.

The word 'pengdang' has been full of derogatory connotations since the beginning, and it has been endless in all dynasties, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was unprecedentedly blazing.

Since Jiajing, the party struggle has become more and more intense, to the Wanli years, especially after the 'national capital dispute', the civil official group has never been stronger, has been able to resist the monarch, in the big and small things to control the world's major events, to the apocalypse, the party competition is fierce to the point of incredible, the people are ying, the invincible Donglin Party was gradually defeated by the eunuch party, and then the eunuch party dominates the world, and there is a 'nine thousand nine hundred years old'!

After the Chongzhen Dynasty, the party struggle became chaotic, the mountains were numerous, you fought for me, and under the internal friction, the Ming Dynasty was pushed to the bottomless abyss!

People of insight in the world know that the party struggle is not shallow and will destroy the country, and they will either struggle and be suppressed in it, or they will resign in anger and no longer be in office.

Even though Zhou Zheng has been doing things all the way, the traces of 'friends' are becoming more and more obvious, not only the people outside, but also the people inside.

They want to do things and save the Ming Dynasty, but they are deeply afraid of the word 'friend' and extremely sensitive.

This week, the word 'like-minded' is being used to sum up their relationship, which naturally makes those who are confused happy, and their minds are clear, and there is no longer any hindrance.

It's one part, the other part, they don't care, they don't care.

Zhou Zheng sorted out the internal ideological contradictions, turned around and went to the West Gate.

Lu Xiangsheng arrived in Beijing today.

The two walked side by side on the city wall, talking about the northwest.

Lu Xiangsheng said: "The lower officials have already arranged them in detail, layer upon layer like a dense net, to ensure the stability of the northwest. ”

Zhou Zheng nodded and said: "Northwest is a big heart disease in the imperial court, you have made great contributions this time, and Yuanfu has told me more than once that he wants to reward you." ”

Lu Xiangsheng bowed unconsciously, and said: "These are all well-planned by the Xibo, and the lower officials and others are just executing, and they don't dare to steal the work." ”

Zhou Zheng glanced back at him and said with a smile: "You didn't talk to me like this before?" How did you hear something? So restrained? Or are you afraid that I will unload the mill and kill the donkey and rob you of the credit? ”

Lu Xiangsheng's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "According to the truth, the lower officials should not think much about the expedition to Xibo. ”

Zhou Zheng clearly felt Lu Xiangsheng's alienation, this alienation is not centrifugation, nor is it self-preservation, but more like a performance of 'for your good'.

Zhou Zheng looked at Lu Xiangsheng for a while and said, "That's it." You will take over as the secretary of the military department for the time being, and after a year, you will be transferred to the governor of Jiliao. ”

Lu Xiangsheng raised his hand and said, "Thank you for Xibo." ”

Zhou Zhengben also wanted to have a good chat with Lu Xiangsheng, and sighed lightly in his heart, the so-called high place is too cold, he has already experienced it a little.

After walking a few steps, Zhou Zhengdao: "When you arrive at the military department, you and Yang Sichang and Zhang Heyi will study carefully and deploy next year's military reform, and you know my relationship with Yang Sichang, so keep an eye on me, lest he dig a hole for me." ”

Lu Xiangsheng followed Zhou Zheng's side, slowed down half a step, and said, "Yes." ”

Zhou Zheng threw away the original manuscript in his heart and said bluntly: "You can ignore the affairs in Beijing." After arriving in Liaodong, plan well, I did it too rough before, and now I have to be a little more fine. In addition, we are negotiating with Jianyu, they should shrink back, you have to gradually advance and stabilize Liaodong, I need two to three years......"

The relationship between Lu Xiangsheng and Zhou Zheng is still relatively close, and he can also guess Zhou Zhengxian's thoughts inside and out, and said: "It has been decades since the climate was built, and it really can't be decided in a hurry, two to three years, and Xia Guan feels a little optimistic." ”

Zhou Zheng hummed and said, "You are still relatively sober." Money, food, armor, I will give priority to you, within three years, you must create an elite army for me, in the future Northern Expedition, you will be the vanguard! ”

Lu Xiangsheng didn't have the previous estrangement, Shen Se clenched his fists, and said, "The subordinate will take the order!" ”

Zhou Zheng nodded, walked a few steps, and said, "Wu Sangui and others, what do you think?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while and said, "It is the responsibility of the lower officials for Wu Sangui and the others to escape. They were blocked in Yunnan and could not go north, and had retreated to the area of Burma. ”

Li Zicheng was defeated, and although Wu Sangui and other rebels were not worried, they were still the thorns in the heart of the Ming court, and they were uncomfortable if they were not pulled out.

Zhou Zheng paced and said: "After you go back, as a private person, write a letter to the general soldiers and generals in Yunnan, ordering them to release the water, and if possible, let them gain a foothold in Burma, and secretly give some support." ”

Daming has not expanded for more than a hundred years, Lu Xiangsheng was stunned at first when he heard it, and then thoughtfully, and said, "Xiaguan understands." ”

Zhou Zheng stopped mentioning this stubble, and the topic turned to Liaodong again, and the two walked on the city wall for a long time.

In the evening, Zhou Zheng entertained many people in the mansion and said a lot of things.

The end of the year is getting closer and closer, and there are too many things to prepare, plan, and set the tone.

Zhou Zheng is also running in internally, unifying the pace, and determining the opening steps for next year.

Zhou Zheng was busy until dawn, and as soon as he sent these people away, Liu Liuzhen came in a hurry and said, "Second Young Master, something happened." Liu Zongzhou went on a hunger strike in the Criminal Department, and the activities of the 'Erzhang' and the Restoration Society in Manjing, and hundreds of people asked to enter the palace outside the cabinet compound and meet the emperor in person......"

Yao Tongshun arrived immediately and said, "My lord, the cabinet compound is a little uncalm, and there are a lot of voices. ”

In the cabinet compound, there are not only Zhou Zheng's people, Zhou Yanru's people, but also Li Banghua, Yang Sichang, Tian Zhenshu and other third-party forces, these people are more and more, and it is obviously impossible to completely stand on Zhou Zheng's side, or even pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Zhou Zheng stood at the door, rubbed his face, and looked at the white belly of the fish spit out by Dongfang.

Liu Liuzhen said: "Second Young Master, you can't sit idly by and watch this matter, these people can do anything, if something happens...... Give a dog a bad name and hang him. ”

Zhou Zheng exhaled lightly and said: "Liuzhi, you go to the palace, meet the emperor, ask him to come forward to reprimand the ministers, and ask the world to work together to support the change of the law and strengthen the Ming Dynasty." If he refuses, he will go to draw up the decree, send a newspaper, and announce it to the world. First, condemn those who rebel and sympathize with those who rebel and plead for others. Second, reiterate the importance of the reform of the law, and any behavior that opposes the reform of the law, obstructs the reform of the law, attacks, and frames the courtiers cannot be tolerated or tolerated. ”

Liu Liuzhen was stunned and said, "Jingcha? ”

The first two items that Zhou Zheng said, with the emperor's decree, can block the mouth of the world, and no one will oppose the emperor, especially when the emperor still occupies the commanding heights of the truth.

It was 'Jingcha', which shocked Liu Liuzhe.

The Beijing Inspection, once every three years, once every six years, and even once every ten years, it is jointly examined by the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate on the officials of the two capitals and the world.

At the beginning, Zhao Nanxing was the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, and Gao Panlong was the secretary of the ministry, and the two joined forces to add the word 'impetuous' to the assessment comments of more than 400 officials of all sizes in the world, and then reprimanded them as "evil parties" and collectively drove them out of the court.

It can be seen from this that this 'Jingcha' is terrible.

"I'm going to give an exam question to the officials of the world to distinguish between right and wrong!"

Zhou Zheng put his hands behind his back, looked at the sun that was gradually revealing red light, and said softly to himself.
