Chapter 1020: Shangjing Strategy

The two talked freely, Zhou Huai'an's eyes moved, and he changed the topic without a trace: "Speaking of Brother Lin, Brother Feng Shilang is so prestigious, I often hear about it in Jiangnan." It won't be long before I will go to Kyoto, and I want to take the opportunity to visit Feng Shilang, if he hadn't taught you this young knight, I'm afraid that I would have died in the northwest four years ago!"

Li Chishui sighed: "Zhou Xiong's chivalrous heart, saving the blood of righteous soldiers, is the work of great heroes and heroes, what Li has heard and seen in his life, only my eldest brother can stand side by side with you." ”

Zhou Huai'an sighed secretly in his heart when he heard this, but he didn't show it on his face.

He also participated in the defense of the capital in his early years, and he was humble under Shaobao, Yang Yuxuan and Yang, and he was also ambitious, but he didn't expect the situation to change, and he turned an official into a bandit, a weak-crowned young man turned out to be a figure of the Ming Dynasty, and in just four years, he actually became the left servant of the Criminal Department, and he was already side by side with Yang Yuxuan at the beginning, and he was only one step away from reaching the position of Yu Shaobao.

But don't forget, this man was only twenty years old!

But no one in the government and the opposition is unconvinced!

Because of the merits he has established, it can be said that it is rare in the past fifty years.

Even Zhou Huai'an may be dissatisfied in his heart, but he also admits that Feng Zhou's merits are enough to serve as the left attendant of the Criminal Department.

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and asked, "You and I are both going to Beijing, why don't you go all the way?"

Li Chishui shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not." According to my eldest brother's letter, I will go to Henan, then to Shanxi, and then to Beijing through Datong, and along the way to observe the lives of the people and the governance of officials. Almost, it's a patrol on his behalf!"

Zhou Huai'an listened and couldn't help nodding secretly.

This boat, even if it is cultivated with its own people, is cultivated so carefully, no wonder he can become an important minister at a young age.

After the two said goodbye, Li Chishui was dressed in fresh clothes and angry, and went all the way north into Henan Province.

When he entered Luoyang City, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The streets are clean and tidy, lined with unique three-story wooden buildings, and the people who come and go are full of people......

Luoyang City is not ordinary, giving Li Chishui a very strange feeling, as if the whole world has changed, and the scene of the previous journey is completely different. It was as if they had come to another world, not the Ming Dynasty they were familiar with.

Compared with those prosperous cities in the south, Luoyang is too clean and too regular!

That's right, it's the rules!

The pedestrians and merchants, the hawkers and shops on the streets, and the restaurants and tea shops are no different from the rest of the towns, but they give him a very orderly feeling.

People's words and deeds seem to be constrained by an invisible rule, and it seems that even the air is filled with a solemn atmosphere.

This made Li Chishui, who was chic and uninhibited and freedom-loving, quite unaccustomed, and felt uncomfortable in a strange world.

Of course, he knew in his heart whose credit was the city in front of him!

Of course, it was his eldest brother who sealed the boat!

It's his real feat!

As the heart of the Central Plains, Henan has quite superior geographical conditions, but unfortunately it can't develop for some reason, but it is far worse than Jiangnan and Gyeonggi, and it is not much worse than ordinary provinces, the same ordinary and the same unremarkable.

Even because of the frequent flooding of the Yellow River, Henan will become a disaster area every few years, floods, droughts, locust plagues and other disasters are endless, and the vitality of the land of Henan is damaged again and again.

It wasn't until four years ago that all that changed.

Feng Zhou went out to patrol on behalf of the sky, and the places he passed were really full of people, killing countless White Lotus Sect masters, and the infinite power he displayed made those generals also admire.

After dealing with several Henan officials in a row, Zhu Qizhen finally overrode public opinion and appointed Feng Zhou, who was less than 20, to serve as the political secretary of Henan, which completely shocked the world.

Fengzhou was really hard to the extreme, and governed Henan with extremely terrifying coercive means, first easily solved the civil unrest that had just emerged, and then launched a jaw-dropping large-scale development and construction in the devastated land of Henan.

The construction scene in full swing, the terrifying scene of crying and shaking the sky, every time I recall, people have a feeling of excitement and fright.

Crazy, the whole of Henan was crazy during that time!

In three years, the land of Henan has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the infrastructure and public facilities built by the closure of the boat have completely crossed Jiangnan and Gyeonggi.

And the biggest change that the boat closure has brought to the land of Henan is probably the rules and order that have been integrated into the bones of the people of Luoyang City in front of them.

I think that at the beginning, for the sake of the order and rules of the land of Henan, although Feng Zhou did not kill the heads of people with ruthless hands, the blood flowed like a river, but it also made an earth-shattering cry and shook the sky, and there were almost no people in the entire land of Henan who had not been severely taught and punished.

Of course, the so-called death of the people.

After Feng Zhou entered Beijing, except for Luoyang City, which he had renovated for the longest time, other towns quickly returned to their previous appearance, which is embarrassing.

Even if Luoyang City in front of him is based on the successor's "de-sealing of the boat", I am afraid that it will soon restore the appearance of a northern city.

When Li Chishui was wandering around Luoyang City, Feng Zhou was entering the palace gate by car and meeting with a group of important ministers to participate in the small court meeting.

The small pilgrimage will be as lively as ever.

Xu is Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen showed the atmosphere of a Ming monarch, and many ministers were a little divided.

Some just want to hug the emperor's thigh, and whatever His Majesty says, they will support it.

And the other part, because of the older ones, always rely on the old and sell the old, and only let their subordinates impeach the emperor, which is actually a disguised sense of existence......

But more of those who have no door and no faction are patting on the back against the emperor.

or use the method of moisturizing things silently, or talk loudly, in short, try their best to praise the emperor.

After all, not everyone has any hard bones.

Therefore, Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen has gathered a lot of talents!

Feng Zhou didn't participate much in the 'regular activities' that touted Emperor Zhu Jianshen of Chenghua, but no one dared to underestimate his opinion.

As long as it doesn't involve the major policies of the Criminal Department, or someone wants to do something secretly, he regards himself as a transparent person, and he is not in the mood to participate in those meaningless arguments at all.

Maybe it was because he saw that Feng Zhou was too leisurely, or maybe he was unhappy and wanted to find a place to vent, Zhu Jianshen suddenly changed his words and said to Feng Zhou: "What do you think of Feng Shilang's proposal the day before yesterday?"

As soon as these words came out, the Qinzheng Hall was silent, whether it was Zhu Jianshen, he could stop the bandits at the first time, but there were still many masters who used various methods to figure out how to make a fortune.

The subordinates of the Manchu Dynasty were unwilling to easily provoke this big man with a high status in the court......

What did Feng Zhou suggest?

It's very simple, isn't he the left servant of the Criminal Department right now, and all his actions are to maximize the influence and power of the Criminal Department.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice is a combination of the Supreme People's Court, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Justice and other powerful departments, but the current status is a marginal part of the six ministries that is stronger than the Ministry of Industry, and it is not at all comparable to the power in the hands.

The key reason is that the Criminal Department only played a guiding role at this time, and did not actually control the real law enforcement and trial power of the Ming Dynasty, and these rights were all divided between the local government and Dali Temple, and it had nothing to do with the Criminal Department at all.

Moreover, the officials before the Criminal Department did not care much, due to manpower and fear of trouble, etc., this situation has continued until now, and in later generations, the absolutely powerful department has become a marginal role that is not even as good as the Leisure Yamen Rite Department.

As a bigwig of the imperial court, of course Feng Zhou can't bear it!
