Moving the clan, it's really not a joke!

Zhou Zheng put his hands behind his back, exhaled lightly, and said with burning eyes: "Don't worry, you will find a sufficient reason." ”

Everyone looked at Zhou Zheng and nodded indifferently, with their current identity and ability, they are going to have a hard time with the clan, and the victory or defeat is also two-handed, fearless!

After Zhou Zheng finished saying this, he took out a text, handed it to Zhang Heyi, and said: "Here are some of my thoughts on the Ming military system, you can take it back and take a look, and then discuss it with Li Banghua and the military department, and then summarize it for me." ”

Zhang Heyi hurriedly took it and said, "Yes." ”

Zhou Zheng looked at the sand table for a while, turned around and walked out of the West Corridor, and went to the cabinet.

He is another cabinet minister in addition to Zhou Yanru, the first assistant, and the only minister.

The power of the cabinet minister is naturally great, he didn't care about it in the past, it doesn't mean that he gave up this power, if he argues with Zhou Yanru in the cabinet, or is not satisfied with the content of the vote, the lawsuit will immediately go to the front of the emperor.

Therefore, as soon as Zhou Zheng entered the cabinet, many people were a little stunned, and then hurriedly saluted.

Zhou Zheng smiled and walked into his class room.

His class room, Yao Tongshun would clean it every day, it was clean and tidy, and he asked people to bring him the recent notebook to show him.

Zhou Zheng arrived in the cabinet, and the most nervous person was Zhou Yanru.

If Zhou Zheng interfered in cabinet affairs, he could neither stop nor stop it, and he was also worried that Zhou Zheng would conflict with him and divide his power.

Zhou Yanru ordered people to stare at it for a while, and the middle book was wandering around outside the main gate of Zhou, and when he saw that there was no movement, he came to Zhou Yanru's class room and said in a low voice: "Yuanfu, the ones that Zheng Xibo has transferred are all recent impeachment transcripts, and there are no others." ”

Zhou Yanru groaned and said to himself: "Impeachment recital...... About whom? ”

Zhongshu was stunned for a moment and said: "I don't have a specific person to look for, most of them have been about the clan recently." ”

Zhou Yanru listened, thought carefully for a while, and suddenly said: "You go and inform Zhang Sizhi and let them arrange people to argue with those who want to be rich, the point is that most of the money and grain of the imperial court are used to suppress bandits in the northwest." ”

This Zhongshu immediately understood what Zhou Yanru meant, and immediately said, "Yes." ”

The book left, Fan Wenjing came in, had already heard the conversation, shook his head secretly in his heart, and said with an immobile face: "My lord, the celebrant is urging over there, asking the amount in the palace, when will it be given?" ”

In addition to the normal clan salary, honorable ministers, officials and other salaries, there is also the palace use.

That is, Chongzhen is thrifty, and the imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty in the past used to spend about 10% of the annual income of the national treasury, that is to say, if this year's tax is 4 million, then the palace is about 400,000.

The sect's side can still discuss, but the palace side has absolutely no room for discussion!

Zhou Yanru's brows furrowed deeply, his head ached, for the word 'money and food', he couldn't sleep all night, and he dreamed of sleeping all night. When Chongzhen was in the past, he could still push it to Chongzhen, but now, he can only bear it himself and find a way.

Zhou Yanru waved his hand a little irritably, and said, "I'll find a way, let them wait." ”

Fan Wenjing knew the current predicament, and thought about whether to discuss with Zheng Xibo, but he knew that Zhou Yanru would definitely not speak, so he could only sigh and turn around and leave helplessly.

In less than the evening, after Li Zichengduan's brief ravage, the speech official, who had disappeared for a while, regained his vitality again and started a confrontation on the 'kings and princes'.

On the other hand, he believes that 'the clan cannot be bullied, and the country cannot be moved', arguing on the basis of reason, and making generous statements, believing that the clan is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty and cannot be taken lightly, otherwise it will be ill-intentioned; on the other hand, the argument that 'the world is shaking, and the treasury is empty', and the analysis is realistic, believing that the clan should share the worries of the country and should not ask for money at this moment, which is no different from falling into a well.

The two sides flew into the general envoy one by one, and then gathered in the cabinet, attacked each other, and quickly exchanged enemies.

By the next day, the battle between the two sides began to expand, from the officials of the Ministry of Science and Dao to the six departments and nine temples, and then the scholars and officials in the opposition also wrote anxiously to state their views on the matter.

With the delay of time, many feudal kings also visited relatives and friends on the way to Beijing, and visited many officials, and then extended this turmoil to the local area.

The much-anticipated Northwest bandits were actually covered in the limelight!

When these vassal kings entered Beijing, the summer grain had gradually begun, which caused more and more people to blush.

On the seventh day of the seventh month, most of the vassal kings arrived in Beijing, with a total of 110 people, and those who did not come either sent the prince as a representative because of old age and infirmity, or they could not survive in the northwest chaos, or they had been killed.

When these vassal kings arrived in Beijing, the capital became even more lively.

I don't know how many people wrote a letter asking for a court meeting, and hundreds of officials discussed and decided.

Expedition to the West Corridor.

Zhou Zheng sat on his lap with Xiao Ke'er, the little guy wanted to reach out and grab something when he saw something, Zhou Zheng looked at the reports everywhere, good news, and took care of the little guy.

Zhang Heyi came in with a pile of papers, and said happily: "My lord, Cao Bianjiao came to report, saying that they have opened the way into Sichuan, contacted Qin Liangyu, and are preparing to rectify Sichuan and clean up the bandits in Sichuan......"

The civil unrest in the northwest was not only Li Zicheng, but hundreds of bandit leaders, large and small, all over the place, and several places in Sichuan and Chengdu were still in the hands of Qin Liangyu.

At the same time, in Sichuan and other places, there is another big hidden danger, that is: toast. These people are even more terrible than Li Zicheng, in the sixth year of Chongzhen, there were 200,000 troops surrounding Chengdu, and Sichuan was out of control for a time.

Zhou Zheng was sorting out the situation in the northwest in his heart, and when he listened, he said: "Tell them, fight steadily, stabilize Sichuan, and then make a move against Li Zicheng, I don't ask for their speed, but there can't be a big defeat." ”

Zhang Heyi responded that if the northwest is defeated, the imperial court will inevitably be shaken, and Zhou Zheng's 'expedition to Xibo' will inevitably be questioned.

"Dad, hungry ......" Zhou Zheng said the little guy in the crook of his arm, looking up at his little face.

Zhou Zheng hurriedly raised his head, glanced at the time outside, and said, "Well, then let's eat." ”

Zhang Heyi said: "My lord, do you want to eat here, or go home?" ”

Zhou Zheng picked up the little guy and said, "Go out and eat." ”

Zhang Heyi said: "The student sent someone to follow you, and now there are rumors outside, saying that the adults are blocking the Yu Lu of the clan, so it is better to be careful." ”

Zhou Zheng didn't care, he was now following a lot of people in and out of the light and dark.

Zhou Zheng put the little guy on his shoulder, took him out of the west corridor, and walked out of the palace.

The people I met along the way saluted one after another, and even greeted Xiao Ke'er.

The little guy's chin slammed on Zhou Zheng's head, and when someone greeted him, he blinked his eyes and let out a whimper, vaguely not knowing what to say.

When he came to the restaurant, Ma Shiying was already waiting.

Zhou Zheng waved his hand to stop him from saluting, put the little guy on the table, and said, "Order first, Ke'er is already hungry." ”

Ma Shiying responded and hurriedly called Xiao Er.

This junior knew Zhou Zheng, and after ordering the dishes excitedly, he quickly served more than ten plates of dim sum, and said with a smile: "Zheng Xibo, these are the best of our cooks, don't dislike them." ”

Zhou Zheng was stunned and said, "We didn't order these, right?" ”
