Chongzhen was very angry, and he didn't know how long it took before he gritted his teeth and said: "This is the civil and military generals of our dynasty, all of them have no loyalty to the country, they only know intrigue, power and profit, all of them should be killed!" ”

Li Zhong stopped talking, he knew that it was enough to say this.

Chongzhen's eyes were red, and after a while, he looked at Li Zhong and said angrily: "What do you say about the Sixth Cabinet Department?" ”

Li Zhong hurriedly said: "I don't know the specifics, Yuan Fu seems to have revealed the meaning, saying that the thief has been captured, and Zhou Zhengyun's stay in Shaanxi is overkill, and he wants to transfer him back to Shandong to guard against captivity." ”

This may sound reasonable at first glance, but it's strange when you look closely. Although Gao Yingxiang was captured, the bandits were not hurt much, why was Zhou Zheng about to be transferred out of Shaanxi, or on the premise of making such a great achievement?

Thinking of the recent crazy impeachment of Zhou Zheng, Chongzhen looked unkind and said, "How does the imperial court plan to reward Zhou Zheng?" ”

Li Zhong showed a thoughtful look on his face and said, "It seems that there is no news, probably as usual." ”

Chongzhen understood this time, and his face was cloudy.

Although he was angry that some people in the court formed a party to exclude dissidents and attack Zhongliang, Chongzhen had no way for a while, he didn't know who it was, he couldn't deal with it, and he couldn't go against the will of the people.

Wang Chengen had been watching quietly from the side, looking at Chongzhen's face, then glancing at Li Zhong, and said in a rare voice: "Long live Lord, the right attendant of the military department is still vacant." ”

Chongzhen was stunned, and then frowned, he actually didn't like Zhou Zheng very much in his heart. First, Zhou Zheng had deceived the imperial court, which made him angry. Second, he doesn't like Zhou Zheng, he doesn't like him, he doesn't like him, or in other words, he doesn't like anyone who is not close to him.

However, after all, Zhou Zheng captured Gao Yingxiang and went to the great trouble in his heart, which can be regarded as saving the Daming Society, which should be rewarded, and Chongzhen can also be generous!

Chongzhen sat on the chair, expressionless for a while, and said: "Then let's do it, double the other rewards, and then give Zhou Zheng's wife, children, brothers, and fathers also reward, and then send a letter to Zhou Zheng and ask him if he has any other requirements." He has made great contributions, and I and the court cannot treat him badly! ”

Wang Chengen's expression did not move, and said, "The slave obeys the order." ”

I don't know why, Li Zhong was very vigilant after Wang Chengen spoke, and then listened to Wang Chengen's 'slave and maid' obey the order, and suddenly his scalp was numb, and he always felt that Wang Chengen had discovered something and deliberately set up a trap for him.

'No, when Zhou Zhengyun comes back, he must find a way, and he must not be so scared! Li Zhong said secretly.

Chongzhen's meaning soon spread to the cabinet and the Ministry of War, and naturally according to his intentions, he drafted the relevant rewards for Zhou Zheng and the 'Zhou Army'.

In Chongzhen's view, the rare atmosphere is actually still stingy, stingy, and even mean.

Zhou Zheng, who was still in Shaanxi, was stunned at first when he received the order, and was promoted to the right attendant of the military department, which was completely unexpected by him, but it also gave him a better opportunity.

For Chongzhen's request for him to make a 'request', Zhou Zheng only asked for his father-in-law, his mother-in-law's mother-in-law, and he gave him a command, and there was nothing else.

At the end of August, Chongzhen officially issued an edict to give Zhou Zheng a promotion, and rewarded him lavishly.

When Zhou Zheng returned to Beijing, Gao Yingxiang was sentenced to death and died at the entrance of the vegetable market.

Zhou Zheng returned the troops he had brought from Shandong and returned to the capital with a few personal soldiers.

The first step is naturally to enter the palace to face the saint, thank you.

No matter what Chongzhen said about Zhou Zheng in his heart and how he didn't like it, in the face of Zhou Zheng, the person who captured Gao Yingxiang and saved Daming Sheji, Chongzhen still gave a high-standard reception.

On the cloud platform of the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen met Zhou Zheng with a smile on his face, and after listening to Zhou Zheng's account of the capture of Gao Yingxiang, he kept nodding with a smile.

Next to him stood Wang Chengen, Li Zhong, as well as the first assistant Wen Tiren, and Yang Sichang, the secretary of the military department.

After hearing this, Chongzhen said with emotion: "If the ministers of the DPRK and China can have half of Aiqing's intentions, why will the northwest be so erosive." ”

Wen Tiren, Yang Sichang was expressionless, as if he hadn't heard Chongzhen's words in the face.

Zhou Zheng had already figured out Chongzhen's attitude towards him from Li Zhong, raised his hand without moving, and said, "Your Majesty praises falsely, and the minister is just doing his duty." ”

Chongzhen nodded lightly, and said with more and more praise and emotion: "If I could use Aiqing earlier, maybe many things would be more than this, and it would be too late for me to regret it." ”

Zhou Zheng didn't pay attention to such words at all, but just raised his hand and was humble.

Chongzhen looked at the tired look on Zhou Zheng's face, and said with concern: "Aiqing, do you have any other opinions about the Northwest Rebellion?" ”

Zhou Zheng and Lu Xiangsheng discussed for three days and two nights, and they were familiar with it, and they opened their mouths and said: "Your Majesty, the bandits have spread to the five provinces, and they are scattered, although the officials and troops are elite, they can't take care of them. ”

Chongzhen listened, thought for a moment, and turned his head to look at Yang Sichang.

Yang Sichang also looked up at Zhou Zheng at this time, Zhou Zheng was about to serve as the right attendant of the military department and was his deputy, but Zhou Zheng's strategy was different from his.

Chongzhen glanced at Yang Sichang with a deep expression, obviously comparing Yang Sichang and Zhou Zheng's bandit suppression strategy in his heart.

Zhou Zheng had just captured Gao Yingxiang and made great contributions, Chongzhen instinctively leaned towards Zhou Zheng's strategy, and felt that it should be so.

Yang Sichang quickly noticed it, leaned over to Chongzhen, and said, "Your Majesty, although the strategies are different, the purpose is the same, please discuss it carefully with the Rong Military Department, and then play Your Majesty." ”

Only then did Chongzhen smile and said: "Okay, your military department will carefully do a good job of suppressing bandits, and discuss it in the main hall another day." ”

Yang Sichang couldn't help frowning when he heard that he was going to discuss it in the main hall, but he just glanced at Zhou Zheng and didn't say anything more.

Chongzhen carefully asked about the northwest, and then asked Liaodong.

Zhou Zheng calmly replied, reasonable.

Perhaps it was Zhou Zheng's credit, Chongzhen trusted his words very much, praised him constantly, and encouraged him several times.

Zhou Zheng knew Chongzhen's character, what he said might not be effective, but he still answered and analyzed seriously.

……

When Zhou Zheng was dealing with Chongzhen in the palace, the Zhou family was also very excited.

The Zhou family's in-laws, the Ding family, and the Shangguan family all came.

Shangguan's family is Shangguanqing's maiden family, and Zhou Zheng has made great contributions this time, and there are really a lot of various shade seals. For example, Shangguan Qing and Shangguan Qing's mother have been given a decree, and Shangguan Xun and Shangguan Lie also have the grace of a hundred households in brocade.

Zhou Qingli, Zhou Fang was also rewarded, it can be said that this time, the Zhou family is raising their eyebrows, their status has risen sharply, and their momentum is even more than when Zhou Qingli was the head of the household department.

In the living room of the Zhou family, the women sat together, talking and laughing.

Zhou Ding looked at Shangguan Qing and said with a smile: "Last time, your brother said that he wanted to give your mother a fate, but I didn't expect the second uncle to really earn it for you, brother and sister, what a blessing." ”

Shangguan Qing hugged his sleeping son and said with a smile: "Big brother is not bad." ”
