After Zhou Zheng met Li Shi, he began to move around frequently to make arrangements for some people and things.
Although the ruling and the opposition are harassing, and all kinds of strange things are happening, the highest level is still in a very calm state.
Apocalypse didn't make any major moves. Believing in the palace was like an abyss, and Wei Zhongxian couldn't get out of the palace.
In the calm, there was an unspeakable weirdness.
…
Tian Ergeng, who had disappeared for a long time, finally reappeared.
In a restaurant box, Zhou Zheng and Tian Ergeng sat opposite each other.
Tian Ergeng is as tall and mighty as in the past. He looks up and behaves like a warrior, but he always feels gloomy and cold, and he doesn't want to approach him.
Tian Ergeng looked at Zhou Zheng with blood in his eyes, and said lightly: "Are you very happy now that you think Wei Gong is about to fall? There is no need to be afraid of me?"
The end of the eunuch, who knows what these bloody demons will do.
Zhou Zheng looked as usual, and said: "I have no grievances and no grudges against Tian Du Du. I don't know why I am afraid Tian Du Du, Tian Du is going to harm me?"
Tian Ergeng had an unconcealed murderous intent on his face, and said: "What's the use of pretending to be dumb? I want you to do something for me now. Remember, it's not a deal, you must do it for me!"
Zhou Zheng stared at Tian Ergeng's expression, this expression fully revealed Tian Ergeng's irritability, worry, and a trace of madness.
Zhou's face did not change, and said, "What does Governor Tian want me to do?"
Tian Ergeng looked at Zhou Zheng's unchanging expression, his eyes were stern, and he said, "I warn you, don't play tricks. Although the emperor is dissatisfied with Wei Gong, Wei Gong is still Wei Gong. I am the commander of Jinyiwei! I think! If you want to die, one finger can crush you a hundred times!"
Zhou Zheng looked at Tian Ergeng who was about to die without knowing that he would die, except for a sneer in his heart.
"Tian Dudu, please say." Zhou Zhengdao.
It is now August, and there are still more than ten days left before Chongzhen's position. As long as Zhou Zheng drags on for more than ten days and switches offensive and defensively, he can't help but farming so rampant!
Tian Ergeng looked at Zhou Zheng, his eyes full of blood.
He had seen too many big people shivering in front of him, even a big person who knelt down and begged for mercy, but the twenty-year-old young man in front of him was so intimidated that his face did not change.
Are you not afraid of death, or are you relying on something else
Tian Ergeng thought about Wei Xizhuang, Li Shi, and Tianqi in his mind. He thought that Tianqi had met Zhou Zheng a while ago, and his face appeared fiercely. You committed suicide in fear of sin!"
Zhou Zheng looked at Tian Ergeng and said, "Tian Dudu, the Xiaguan has already agreed to you. You are still persecuting you so much. This makes the Xiaguan really unable to understand."
Seeing Zhou Zheng's oil and salt not coming in, Tian Ergeng's expression was ugly, and he suddenly sneered, "I'll see what tricks you will do. It's very simple. I want you to send Cui Chengxiu to prison."
Zhou Zheng was stunned, and immediately remembered that Li Hengbing’s outer room seemed to be related to Cui Chengxiu and Tian Ergeng. When Li Hengbing was arrested in the imprisonment, she came forward and walked through the relationship between Tian Ergeng and Cui Chengxiu. Li Hengbing released.
What kind of a woman is this, that Tian Ergeng and Cui Chengxiu are so dreaming, and even Tian Ergeng wants to send Cui Chengxiu to prison at all costs!
Zhou Zheng was curious, shook his head and said, "Tian Dudu knows who the urging hall officer is, I can't do it."
Not to mention that Cui Chengxiu is a castrated party, with Wei Zhongxian as the backer, that is, Cui Chengxiu was able to force his first assistant Gu Bingqian to resign from office in embarrassment last year. His power and strength are extraordinary. How could Zhou Zheng, a small supervisory official, shake him.
Tian Ergeng said: "I know, I will give you enough things to bring you down with Cui Chengxiu."
Zhou Zheng looked at Tian Ergeng, and his thoughts flew.
Tian Ergeng is in charge of Jin Yiwei. He doesn't know how many people he has caught in the past few years, and he has countless handles in his hand. It is not surprising that Cui Chengxiu is there.
What Zhou Zheng was concerned about was the dangers and benefits of Cui Chengxiu at this time.
After a while, Zhou Zheng looked at Tian Ergeng and said, "Okay, I will try."
Tian Ergeng didn't conceal his eagerness, and said, "How long will you take?"
'Of course the longer the better. '
Zhou Zheng secretly said in his heart, pretending to consider his face, and said: "The urging officer is the confidant of Wei Eunuch. Even if the evidence is conclusive, it is not that easy to move. I will try it out first to see the direction of the wind."
Tian Ergeng knows this point better than Zhou Zheng, and said: "For one month, at most one month, within one month, Cui Chengxiu will not enter the jail, your Zhou family and the whole family are violently killed in the imprisonment! I Tian Ergeng said, the emperor Can't be saved!"
After hearing it for a month, Zhou Zheng was completely relieved, with a sincere smile on his face.
"Good." Zhou Zheng nodded and agreed.
Looking at Zhou Zheng's smile, Tian Ergeng felt something wrong in his heart, but he didn't understand, his face was gloomy, and he said, "You better remember what I said!"
As he said, he stood up and left. Before he left, he said: "The things prepared for you will be given to you tomorrow night. You plan to act. If you betray me, you will know the consequences!"
After finishing speaking, Tian Ergeng left in stride, but the gloomy atmosphere remained strong in the box.
Watching Tian Ergeng leave, Zhou Zheng exhaled silently.
He also didn't expect that Tian Ergeng would actually be Cui Chengxiu who wanted to deal with it. As expected, this castrated party was also full of hills and strife.
Fortunately, the time limit given by Tian Er Geng is one month. Tian Ergeng would not know that Chongzhen would take the position in half a month in less than a month. At that time, Tian Ergeng would not be as arrogant as it is today.
Zhou Zheng sat for a while before quietly leaving from the back door. As soon as he returned to Zhou Mansion, Fu Bo greeted him, pulled Zhou Zheng past, and whispered: "Second Young Master, the master has been called into the palace."
Zhou Zheng's face changed slightly, and he said, "Who called it? No, who came from?"
Fu Bo said: "It's the inner prison in the palace, who came here very secretly, wearing regular clothes."
The timing is too sensitive now, is it apocalypse
Zhou Zheng frowned, feeling a little uneasy, and said, "How long have you been there?"
Fu Bo said, "It's almost half an hour."
Zhou Zheng thought for a while and said, "Well, wait a minute."
Father Zhou was secretly called into the palace by Apocalypse, so it was useless for Zhou Zheng to inquire, he could only wait.
Zhou Zheng was sitting in the library reading a book, no matter how quiet, until half an hour later, Liu Liuzhe said that Father Zhou was back, Zhou Zheng quickly put down his book and rushed to Zhou Qingli's study.
Zhou Qingli has changed clothes and is sitting at the small table drinking tea.
Zhou Zheng saw that he was calm, so he was relieved, walked over, and said, "Father, is the emperor seeing you?"
Zhou Qingli put down the tea cup, glanced at him, and said, "Well, the emperor asked me to go to the palace to serve as a western banquet."
"Xixi?" Zhou Zheng was taken aback, and he woke up suddenly.
The so-called Xixi is what ordinary people say. The palace should be called a professor, who is responsible for teaching the children of the palace.
This position seems inconspicuous. It is usually held by literati who have some reputation but have no intention of official career. However, after believing in the throne, this "professor" waits for it and becomes an official. Teaching to the prince will become teaching to the prince!
The meaning of this is self-evident. Tianqi is arranging some reliable team for Xinwang.
"Father agreed?" Zhou Zheng asked, looking at Zhou Qingli.
Zhou Qingli was silent for a long time, and said: "The emperor is afraid it will be really bad."
He had seen Tianqi in the Palace of the Qing Dynasty just now. Although Tianqi was sitting on a chair, he was swollen, his face was pale, panting, his eyes were haggard, dim, and he seemed to be energetic, but he was already very sick.
Zhou Zheng looked at Zhou Qingli's sad expression and understood that Zhou Qingli should have agreed. After thinking about it, he said, "When will I go?"
Zhou Qingli said: "Tomorrow."
Xinwang is only sixteen years old and has no children. Tianqi is so anxious to arrange it, obviously knowing that he is running out of time.
Zhou Qingli looked up at Zhou Zheng and said, "Do you want to go together?"
Apocalypse arranged this to believe in the king. For the Zhou family, it was also an opportunity, a great opportunity!
Zhou Zheng shook his head decisively and said at the same time: "Father, after you go, be careful in your words and deeds. Don't walk too close to the king. No matter how courteous he is, you will be a lone minister."
"Lonely minister?" Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng with a puzzled expression in her eyes.
Xinwang's reputation at this time is still quite good, approachable, no air, self-discipline, self-love, and respectful manners, not as arrogant and extravagant as other clan families.
After he eradicated the eunuch, he was even more prosperous, and he was given the title of'Holy Monarch'.
After that, he was also very diligent, far from his elder brother, father, grandfather, grandfather and grandfather, who can be compared to Emperor Hongzhi.
However, these are only part of his character, and the other part is mean, unkind, partial, suspicious, fickle, and murderous!
Zhou Zheng didn't know how to explain to Daddy Zhou, he pondered for a while, and said, "Party disputes are everywhere now. Once you get involved, you can't help yourself, you still have to clean yourself and stand on your own."
Listening to Zhou Zheng's inexplicable words, Zhou Qingli noticed that he was hesitant to speak and then stopped, silently thinking for a moment, and said: "Let's not talk about this first. Do you think the King of Letters can deal with Wei Zhongxian?"
Wei Zhongxian now not only controls the government, but also in the palace. With the addition of a Hakka, the murdered concubine does not know how much, and even Queen Zhang has been conspired. The palace is simply a dragon pond, and the 16-year-old Xin Wang went in alone. Can it stand
Zhou Zheng looked calm and smiled and said: "Those people from the castration party have turned to Wei Zhongxian for fame and fortune. If the new emperor shows dissatisfaction with Wei Zhongxian, most of these people, except for a few, will turn their guns. Even those few have no intentions. The courage to be rebellious. Besides, the emperor has not prepared enough."
Zhou Qingli nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, the imperial court, Jinyiwei, British Duke, and even Governor Jiliao, who is the nearest to the capital, arranged very carefully by Tianqi.
Zhou Qingli was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "I saw Yuan Fu in the palace just now."
Yuan Fu, in fact, meant the prime minister, the Ming Dynasty abolished the prime minister, and the cabinet chief is equivalent to the prime minister. To avoid taboos, it is called Yuan Su.
Yuan Fu, Huang Liji.
Zhou Zheng thought of this person, his expression moved slightly.
If the king of faith succeeds, this person is also a key figure, after all, he represents the attitude of the court.
Not to mention the'national dispute' during the Wanli period, Tianqi's'moving palace case' was only six years past, and courtiers almost played a decisive role in the succession to the throne.
As an eunuch leader, Wei Zhongxian's cron, and Huang Liji, the first assistant, what attitude would he have? (End of this chapter)
