Zhou Yanru's actions naturally couldn't hide from Zhou Zheng.

Although he reached a deal with Zhou Zheng, there are many things that require Zhou Zheng's nod, for example, this list wants to be submitted, or he will give it to the new emperor alone, but for such a big matter, he is too low alone, and he needs to be in the name of the cabinet, so Zhou Zheng's signature is indispensable.

However, Zhou Yanru just didn't invite Zhou Zheng to sign his name, and deliberately released the news to test the reaction of the government and the opposition.

Except for the rebellious officials, most of the officials in the capital survived, especially the relatively low official positions, and Li Zicheng did not have time to search that layer.

In any case, after this period of recuperation, most of the officials were able to go to work as usual and entered the court.

This list was released, and it attracted fryers all over the capital.

Because he once surrendered to Li Zicheng, Ruan Dacheng, who served as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites of the Dashun Dynasty, was impressively listed, and he also planned to serve as the waiter of the Ministry of Works!

The government and the opposition were naturally boiling, and many officials began to write to impeach Ruan Dacheng.

It was only half an hour before a rumor suddenly circulated in the capital, saying that Ruan Dacheng was recommended by Zhou Zheng, and this person had a close relationship with Zhou Zheng during the period of the first emperor.

When he heard the news, Zhou Zheng was at the mansion banquet for Tian Zhenshu, who had returned from his inspection in Nanzhili.

Tian Zhenshu and Zhou Zheng had some friendship, so he did not shy away from coming to the door, looked at Zhou Zheng and said with emotion: "After a long time, Zhengyun, you are already Zhengxibo." ”

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "You're in such a hurry to come back, don't you come to make fun of me?" ”

Tian Zhenshu shook his head, smiled a little reluctantly, and said, "It's too late, there is no place left for me." ”

The good location of the six departments and nine temples was basically divided between him and Zhou Yanru when Zhou Zheng had just recovered the capital.

By the time others enter Beijing, it's too late.

However, Zhou Zheng still has a few positions in his hands that are not arranged, for example, the secretary of the criminal department.

Zhou Zheng and Tian Zhenshu have always been a kind of 'gentleman's friendship', plain, ordinary drinking, exchanging some information, and their views on the court situation, and there are no interests involved, especially the fellow villagers behind Tian Zhenshu, which has always made Tian Zhenshu and Zhou Zheng unable to get close, and they have scruples about each other.

By now, there was no one or anything to make Zhou Zheng jealous, looking at Tian Zhenshu and smiling: "You didn't come to me to complain, right?" ”

Tian Zhen saw that Zhou Zheng did not have the same caution as in the past, and sighed lightly in his heart, it was a pity that they missed this person.

If this person had been dragged into their fellow townsman association at the beginning, then their Jiangxi family would definitely occupy an extremely important position in the court!

Missed out!

Tian Zhenshu sighed in his heart, smiled slightly, and said: "I know that Ruan Dacheng is not your person, and now the court bureau is basically Yuanfu's people, and he is doing this just to hit your prestige and monopolize the government." ”

Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup, blew it, and said lightly: "Ruan Dacheng is my person." ”

Tian Zhenshu's expression suddenly froze, and then he said thoughtfully: "Is he the nail you buried in Li Zicheng?" ”

Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "He was originally mine, but then he was not." ”

Tian Zhenshu completely understood at this moment, and frowned: "So, Yuanfu knew that he used to be your person, and deliberately used this person to hit you?" I'm afraid it's not that simple, there are other ways......"

Zhou Zheng hummed and stopped talking.

Zhou Zheng didn't speak, Tian Zhenshu was a little embarrassed, coughed, and said straight to the point: "Zhengyun, you have to help me once." ”

"Return." Zhou Zheng is concise and to the point.

Tian Zhenshu immediately said: "We will be on your side, we will be your staunchest ally!" ”

In the eyes of Tian Zhenshu and the fellow villagers behind him, although Zhou Zheng has great achievements, his power in the imperial court is too weak to fight Zhou Yanru, and if he wants to gain a firm foothold, he needs their support!

Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "I waved my hand, too many people will lean over." ”

Indeed, Zhou Zheng's current reputation is unprecedented, no one can compare, and some people want to take refuge.

Zhou Yanru was busy in front of the door, and the door of his Zhou Mansion was crowded!

Tian Zhenshu looked at Zhou Zheng, frowned and wrinkled, and said, "I'll tell you a secret, change the position of a waiter." ”

Zhou Zheng sighed, and said with some curiosity: "What secret, can you change a waiter?" ”

Tian Zhenshu furrowed his brows, as if he was a little reluctant, and said, "Zhang Sizhi, I wrote a table of demotion for Li Zicheng. Among Li Zicheng's people are from Jiangxi, and they have some relationship with the hometown association, and we got this table. ”

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth smiled.

Zhou Yanru used Ruan Dacheng to frame Zhou Zheng, I am afraid that he didn't expect that his proud protégé would write a table of demotion for Li Zicheng!

If this matter breaks out, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant, will have no face to do it.

Zhou Zheng took another sip of tea and said, "Have you found Yuanfu?" ”

Tian Zhenshu's expression tightened slightly, and said, "Someone wanted to go, but I stopped them, after all, we have some friendship." ”

Zhou Zheng's friendship with him in the past can't offset such great political interests.

Zhou Zheng's expression did not move, and said: "I'll give you this position as a waiter, but that descending table is useless to me, so you can keep it." ”

Tian Zhen was stunned for a moment and said, "You don't want it?" ”

Zhang Sizhi's descent is enough to send Zhou Yanru back to his hometown, and he can't make a comeback in this life, so Zhou Zheng doesn't want it?

Zhou Zheng smiled faintly and said, "Before Li Zicheng entered Beijing, Yuanfu was hidden by me. ”

Tian Zhenshu suddenly realized that if Zhou Zheng really wanted to ascend to the sky in one step and sit on the throne of the first assistant, he would not save Zhou Yanru at all, and the reason why he saved it must have another purpose!

It's not that he can't deal with Zhou Yanru now, it's just that he is deliberately hiding for this purpose!

Tian Zhenshu looked at Zhou Zheng deeply and said, "Thank you." ”

The 'gentleman's friendship' between him and Zhou Zheng has become a thing of the past at this moment.

Zhou Zheng watched Tian Zhen leave, shook his head secretly, and said to himself: "I'm back again." ”

This sentence 'back again' is not only Tian Zhenshu and these people are back, but the familiar Ming Dynasty court is back.

Tian Zhenshu didn't go far, and accompanied by Liu Liuzhe, a person who shouldn't have appeared appeared in Zhou Zheng's small pavilion.

Li Hengbing raised his hand and said, "Congratulations on recruiting Xibo." ”

Zhou Zheng glanced at him and said, "Sit down." ”

Li Hengbing sat down opposite Zhou Zheng and said, "Why not, with Zhang Sizhi's lowering table, you can easily pull down Zhou Yanru." ”

Zhou Zheng was a little puzzled by Li Hengbing, and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

Li Hengbing looked at Zhou Zheng, his eyes were blazing, and his tone was calm and firm: "Just like you, reshape the dynasty and build the Ming Dynasty again!" ”

Zhou Zheng's eyes moved slightly, Li Hengbing's purpose was afraid that since Wanli and even Jiajing, countless high-ranking officials wanted to do things, from Xu Jie, Gao Gong to Zhang Juzheng, and then to the Donglin Party, no matter whether they succeeded or not, and the dirtiness in the process, they all had such thoughts more or less.

Zhou Zheng's mind turned and said, "I don't need your help, you are a hidden danger to me." ”

Li Hengbing looked at Zhou Zheng without the slightest fear or timidity, and said: "I will not hesitate to help you, I can do what you can't do, and the people around you can't." If you want to reshape the dynasty, you must have a ruthless person and a cool official! ”

Zhou Zheng looked at him and said with some amusement: "Do you think you understand me?" ”

Li Hengbing looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "You are nothing more than two paths, either to be Cao Cao or to be Wang Mang, no matter which one, I can help you." ”

Zhou Zheng looked at him and smiled meaningfully.

Li Hengbing's eyes seemed to be burning, and his expression trembled uncontrollably.

It's just that how can Li Hengbing understand Zhou Zheng? He will despair in the future about his decision today.
