Zhou Zheng did not respond to Tian Ergeng's'praise'.
Tian Ergeng looked at Zhou Zheng's unchanging expression in the darkness, turned his back, in the darkness, and said in a cold and domineering tone: "After you return to Beijing, I will tell you what to do. Don't think too much. You can't refuse me."
Tian Ergeng left without hesitation. His school lieutenant did not light the lamp, and the footsteps in the dark were unusually loud, like urging sounds from hell.
Zhou Zheng watched them walk away and exhaled deeply.
Tian Ergeng put too much pressure on him, this person is too dangerous to get close!
Zhou Zheng did not enter the door immediately, watching Tian Ergeng disappear into the darkness.
Zhou Zheng was thinking about the people and things that might happen next year. He didn't know what Tian Ergeng wanted to do, but it was definitely not ordinary. Last time, he had to do it easily. This time, Zhou Zheng didn't want to, and couldn't agree to it!
After a long time, Zhou Zheng calmed down and turned to enter the house.
Liu Liuzhe kept quietly guarding not far away, and when Zhou Zheng came back, he hurriedly whispered: "Second Young Master, no one is coming."
Zhou Zheng hummed and said, "Don't tell me about this."
Liu Liuzhe knew the severity and said, "It's the second young master."
Zhou Zheng went back to the room and lay down, still unable to calm down.
Tomorrow he was leaving Beijing for Shenyang, and Tian Ergeng suddenly appeared in the middle of the night, which made him feel that the capital is a cannibalistic mill, full of demons and demons. If you want to live a foothold, you can't take it lightly for a moment.
Early the next morning, Zhou Zheng got dressed, said goodbye to Zhou Qingli and Zhou Fang, and then got on the carriage and headed to Chang'an Avenue, where the envoy team gathered.
Zhou Qingli, Zhou Fang and others all stood under the eaves and watched Zhou Zheng leave.
The expression on everyone's face is almost the same, that is worry.
Jianlu, fearful of might but not benevolence, and Liaodong was defeated again. If one is not good, Zhou Zheng may not be able to return.
But no one said anything, except to pray for Zhou Zheng's safe return, which made Zhou Zheng even more pressured.
Zhou Zheng’s carriage came to the east gate of Chang’an Avenue, and a small official came up immediately and said: “Zhou Yushi, everything is ready. You and Mr. Huang ride in the same carriage, the other five adults, plus one of us. There are three carriages in total."
Zhou Zheng looked at the three neatly organized carriages, hummed, and handed him the baggage he had brought with him, and said, "They are all worn and kept."
"Yes." The little official agreed and quickly took over the burden.
Zhou Zheng walked towards the front carriage and went straight up.
Huang Weihuai sat west facing east, closed his eyes, as if he didn't notice Zhou Zheng coming up.
Zhou Zheng just glanced at him, sat south facing north, found a comfortable position, took out the "Records of Shenzong" from his arms, and looked at himself.
"Leaving!" Not long after, there was a shout from outside, and the carriage began to move.
No one came to see off, Chang'an Avenue was quiet, and the wagons walking by two horses could be said to be silent, as if no one knew.
The carriage shook for a while, but the ground suddenly leveled down. Huang Weihuai slowly opened his eyes and watched Zhou Zheng taking the "Records of Shenzong" into his mind. He said calmly, "Taking history as a mirror can make sense and know people. It’s good for you to see it more."
Regarding Huang Weihuai’s high education, Zhou Zheng just turned a page and said: "If history is not true, what can be seen from the false?"
"The Record of Shenzong" was built during the Taichang period, and it has only been six or seven years so far. What kind of people were the courts in these six or seven years? The events in the Wanli period have a profound impact on the current political situation. Many Zhou Zheng can tell the truth at a glance.
Huang Weihuai disliked Zhou Zheng's attitude the most, and snorted coldly, and said, "You are young and frivolous, and defiant, will hurt you sooner or later."
Zhou Zheng looked at the book slowly, he didn't want to pay attention, suddenly raised his head, and said: "Didn't you ask me to listen to you before? Why don't you tell me now?"
Huang Weihuai glanced at Zhou Zheng, and faintly closed his eyes again with a cold gaze.
Zhou Zheng looked at his face, suddenly vigilant in his heart, looked at him for a moment, his eyes slowly turned to the book, and continued to look.
It took at least six or seven days for the carriage to head towards Shanhaiguan. Except for Zhou Zheng, the three carriages were quieter, and the two behind them were full of discussions and laughter.
The departure of Zhou Zheng and others from Beijing had little effect on the huge capital, as if no one knew or cared about it.
The hustle and bustle of the capital will not stop because of their departure, but on the second day of Zhou Zheng's departure, Wang Zhichen temporarily took charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War as the Minister of War.
This incident shocked the jaws of not many people. A Liaodong Economic Strategy, at a speed that outsiders could not understand, in less than a month, it was half a step away from the Shangshu of the Ministry of War!
And Yuan Chonghuan was still governor of Liaodong, just hung the title of You Minister of the Ministry of War!
At the same time, there were several rumors that Cui Chengxiu, the Imperial Secretary of the Imperial Court, was going to be transferred to the Criminal Ministry, Li Sicheng, the official book of the Ministry of Etiquette, resigned, and Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites came to Zongdao and was about to enter the book room of the Ministry of Rites.
These changes in the officialdom will naturally cause the following shocks. The instability of the Ming Dynasty is constantly catalyzing the deterioration of the government of the Ming Dynasty.
In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, on the 16th day of the first lunar month, Zhou Zheng and others entered Shanhaiguan.
The current Shanhaiguan general soldiers are named Du Shuan, Huang Weihuai, Zhou Zheng and others as imperial envoys. They entered Shanhaiguan with imperial edicts and guards, but he did not show his face.
Huang Weihuai and the others didn't seem to care either. They took a rest in Shanhaiguan and planned to go to Ningyuan the next day to pay homage to Yuan Chonghuan, governor of Liaodong.
Zhou Zheng had no rest and was walking around Shanhaiguan.
The current Shanhaiguan pass is not yet a Xiongguan for later generations. Even though it is under construction, it still looks very'shabby', more like a small pass that has been shabby for many years.
Zhou Zheng observed the soldiers and civilians here, and found that they had no fighting spirit, or no sense of crisis. The officers and soldiers were scattered, improperly clothed, and joking around the city.
The people are busy with their livelihoods, running constantly, their faces are exhausted, and their eyes are distressed.
"This is the Hongyi Cannon?"
Zhou Zheng stood on the tower, looked at the huge cannon stand covered with red cloth and asked a soldier beside him.
This soldier was sent by Shanhaiguan to'protect' Zhou Zheng and the others. He quickly said, "Return to the lord, that's right. The little man heard that this red cannon was powerful in Ningyuan and killed countless prisoners."
Zhou Zheng stretched out his hand and touched it. Looking at this size, he estimated that it weighs more than a dozen tons, and it can only be used to defend the city or break the city. It is impossible to fight in the field.
This red cannon came from the Portuguese from Macau. It was heavy, not powerful enough, and expensive. It was natural enough for the Ming Dynasty, but in Zhou Zheng's view, it was still a bit backward.
Zhou Zheng vaguely remembered that Jianlu could build a more powerful one by himself in a few years. Then, with the capabilities of the Ming Dynasty, he would definitely be able to make a better and stronger one!
Zhou Zheng secretly wrote down this incident and continued to walk in Shanhaiguan, watching.
It would take at least five years to build Shanhaiguan into a strong city for future generations, and it would take at least five years. The Ming Dynasty retreat to Shanhaiguan is just a wishful thinking by some people.
Zhou Zheng wanted to investigate the armament situation of Shanhaiguan as a supervisory official or a ambassador, but he was delayed by the need for the approval of the general army, but in fact he refused.
Before Zhou Zheng came down to the city, several tall Xiyi people walked towards him. They walked and talked hurriedly with gestures, or were arguing about something.
They come and go unattended, they are free. (End of this chapter)
