Zhou Fang did not hear the other flavors in Zhou Zheng's words, and said: "Father is very busy and tired. By the way, I also heard that Dad will be transferred to the Ministry of Households, which means the emperor."
Zhou Zheng hummed, not surprisingly.
The two brothers walked and talked, talking about the ruling and opposition parties.
Last year, Zhou's family was only a small family with seven grades of Qinggui, and it was about to become a wealthy family in an instant.
The first year of Chongzhen, January 29.
The imperial court opened the dynasty and selected three cabinet ministers, namely Qian Longxi, Lai Zongdao, and Shi Yanlai.
The so-called'bu' is probably similar to tossing a coin, and whoever hits it is whoever is hit.
In the cabinet of Zhou Zheng, he knew all these things clearly. Seeing the decree promulgated and the officials taking office, he gradually felt a little nervous.
Who can completely avoid this big purge, and who is the biggest winner
Is it the new party, the Donglin party? Is it neutral or Chongzhen
Zhou Zheng shook his head secretly. There was no winner, but there was the biggest loser-Daming.
The protracted party fights and internal strife are constantly depleting the foundation of Ming Dynasty's two hundred years.
And their Zhou family is at the center of this storm!
Zhou was the one who took part in the defeat of Cui Chengxiu and opened the curtain; Zhou Qingli's principals in the'Wei Zhongxian case' and the'Cui Chengxiu case' are equally concerned.
Chongzhen is in an orderly layout, and the first month is not over. Not only the cabinet and ministers have been replenished, but the powers of Huang Liji and Feng Quan have been greatly weakened, and almost all of the six ministers have been replaced.
Secretary Wang Yongguang, Hubu Shangshu Bi Ziyan, Etiquette Shangshu He Ruchong, War Department Shangshu Wang Qia, Criminal Department Shangshu Qiao Yunsheng, and Industry Department Shangshu Xue Fengxiang.
Almost all the iron rods of the castration party have been replaced, and the heads and brains of other important departments, such as the Jiu Temple, have been replaced. The speed is scary!
In the capital, there is a wave of precariousness that is about to come.
Jiujiang Pavilion.
Zhou Zheng only came here during get off work hours. There were a dozen books on his desk that he wanted to read.
But at this moment he didn't read a book, but sat down with Han Cheng for tea.
Zhou Zheng was not embarrassed to ask Han Cheng to play chess, he really couldn't make moves.
"The emperor is ready to cleanse the universe?" Han Cheng took a sip of tea and smiled with Zhou Zhengdao.
Zhou Zheng knew that Qingliu and most of the Shilin were looking forward to it. They had already seen something and were very eager for Emperor Chongzhen to be able to cleanse the world and return a Langlang dynasty, Zhongxing Daming.
Recently, this kind of voice has been particularly strong, and the impeachment of the Eunuch Party has been so popular, even some people who are not in the DPRK can feel this atmosphere.
Zhou Zheng knew that Han Cheng was concerned about current affairs and said, "It should not be far away."
The smile on Han Cheng's face increased a little, and he said: "I have heard many things about our new emperor. I heard that he sleeps at night, listens to truthful advice, can distinguish right from wrong, and self-denial, which is very similar to Emperor Hongzhi, I really am lucky!"
Emperor Hongzhi, also known as Zhengde's father, was very diligent when he was in power and made Hongzhi Zhongxing an emperor with a very good evaluation.
Zhou Zheng was silent for a moment, smiling without saying a word.
Han Cheng looked at his expression with some doubts, but didn't think much about it, and said, "You Jiujiang Pavilion is on the right track, and the Shilin style is very good. Last time Han Huang told me that you are a poor talent in the cabinet. I am ready to recommend you to take a post in Nanzhili."
As the traces of Chongzhen's actions on the eunuch party became more and more obvious, Zhou Zheng, the starter, was concerned by many people, and many people wanted to use him to build momentum and rise to position.
Zhou Zheng didn't know if Han Huang had this thought, but he had no plans to go to Nanzhili.
"Students plan to go to Yongping Mansion." Zhou Zheng said.
Han Cheng actually knew something before, and he nodded slightly, saying: "Donglin's revival is inevitable. You have made too many enemies in the ruling and the opposition, and the position of your patron is even more dangerous. You must be cautious."
Zhou Zheng knew what Han Cheng meant, and leaned forward and said, "Thank you for your advice, Mr."
While Zhou Zheng was chatting with Han Cheng, a memo from the guard eunuch from Nanjing, Liu Zheng suddenly exploded in the court.
Liu Zheng is also a member of the castrated party, but it was Wei Zhongxian that he impeached. In this impeachment book, he explained in detail how Wei Zhongxian deceived the Emperor, poisoned the concubine of the apocalypse, and killed the heirs of the apocalypse.
As soon as this memorial came out, the temperature of the entire capital seemed to drop more than ten degrees!
It was cold and windy, this memorial made the huge capital seem to be frozen.
Huang Mansion, main hall.
Huang Liji sat on it, with Feng Quan, Zhou Yingqiu, Wu Chunfu, Xu Dahua and others on the left and right. They are all being'stayed in Beijing for use'. In fact, they are dismissed for investigation and cannot leave Beijing.
The actions of Qianqing Palace became more and more obvious, and they could no longer wait with hope and anxiety as they did in the past.
Feng Quan glanced at the others, and said to Huang Liji: "Yuanfu, we must find a way. Now the government and the public are all impeaching our memorials, and we can't just sit and wait..."
Without the arrogance and confidence of the past, Wu Chunfu stretched out his head and said, "Yuanfu, what is the attitude of the emperor? Does he want to reverse the case for Donglin?"
More and more Donglin Party entered Beijing, and some people even directly resurrected without paying attention to the attitude of the ruling and opposition parties. The meaning is already very obvious.
To reverse the case for Donglin is to finalize the case for the eunuch!
Xu Dahua's dismissal was relatively early. He looked at Huang Liji and said, "Yuanfu, I heard that Luo Yangxing has already done Tian Ergeng's case. I don't know how many things he hired..."
Although the eunuchs seem to be unrelated, they are inextricably linked to Wei Zhongxian. If Tian Ergeng recruits Wei Zhongxian's secret affairs, they will definitely be implicated.
Everyone slammed Huang Liji at every word.
In their view, Huang Liji was still the first assistant, still commanding courtiers, and there was no one who could challenge his position.
This is their opinion, but no one can understand Huang Liji's situation.
Huang Liji sat blankly with a heavy heart.
With the increase of cabinet ministers, his power is rapidly losing, especially the replacement of six ministries, coupled with the supervision of the director of ceremonies, the power of Huang Liji, the chief assistant, is increasingly being emptied.
Sun Yuanhe looked at Huang Liji and said, "Yuanfu, Liu Zheng, will this memorial book..."
He didn't finish his words, but the meaning was clear.
This is why everyone is here today, everyone is looking at Huang Liji with piercing eyes.
Just as Huang Liji was about to speak, suddenly a housekeeper hurried over and said, "Master, the emperor declares you to enter the palace."
I don't know why, everyone in the room was shocked and looked at Huang Liji together.
Huang Liji also had a very bad premonition in his heart. He stood up slowly and said, "You wait for me to come back."
Everyone did not speak, looking at Huang Liji's back, their expressions were solemn, and their eyes flickered constantly.
They are really scared, even more scared than when Wei Zhongxian died!
Dry in the palace.
Zhu Youjian looked at Huang Liji and said concisely, and he couldn't refuse: "Wei Zhongxian conspired, I order you to investigate and arrest all the party members immediately!" (End of this chapter)
