Compared with Man Gui and Zhao Singjiao, Zhou Zheng’s award was still very "serious". This great work in guarding the capital did not have any promotion, but increased the intensity and difficulty of the work.
Many people are arguing for Zhou Zheng, demanding that the court be rewarded and punished clearly.
Zhou Zheng sat in the room, looking at this imperial edict, his expression was calm, his eyes faint.
Outsiders screamed for him, but he was really moved.
Although this will attract the attention of Chongzhen and the ruling and opposition parties, the territory in his hands has indeed expanded rapidly, especially when he has mastered Tianjin Wei, he has sufficient qualifications and resources to recruit a powerful army!
In this troubled world, money and food must be available, and the army must be in hand!
Zhou Zheng was already thinking about how to make good use of it.
Before Zhou Zheng had finished thinking about it, Kou Huai and the others came to the door.
"Students have met adults."
In the pavilion of Zhou's family, Kou Huaiyi took the lead, and the five raised their hands to bow to Zhou Zheng.
Hearing this title, Zhou Zheng was a little surprised, and immediately looked at a few people calmly, and said with a smile: "None are outsiders, sit down."
Including Kou Huaiyi, and the four people behind him, plus Zhang Heyi, who was already in Yongping Mansion, were the earliest batch of scholars in Zhou Ji, who were later in Jiujiang Pavilion.
Kou Huai was okay, but the other four were very nervous and sat down cautiously.
Zhou Zheng knew each other and nodded with them with a smile.
A few people became even more nervous, and they bowed and nodded.
Kou Huai took a sip of tea before hesitating and said: "My lord, a few students are here this time because I want to go to Yongping Mansion with my adults."
Kou Huaiyi came to ask Zhou Zheng last year, and was arranged by Zhou Zheng to be in the salt class.
Zhou Zheng had actually guessed it a long time ago. He thought to himself and looked at several people and said, "Except for you, although the four of you have fame, but you are not on the waiting list of the official department. If you want to follow me, you have to sit up as a young official. , I’m on the list of officials, and I can arrange it in the future."
The other four hurriedly raised their hands and said, "Yes, they all listen to the arrangements of the adults, and the students have no extravagance."
Zhou Zheng smiled and nodded and looked at Kou Huai: "You should have heard that Zhang Heyi is famous. Mr. Hu, the prefect of Yongping Prefecture, has already recommended him as the magistrate of Lulong County. He has been approved by the officials. You, go to Hejian. How about being a magistrate?"
The Beijing officials seem to be expensive, but in reality they are mostly struggling to live. Without enough space, they are not as comfortable as the place.
Kou Huaiyi quickly stood up and said, "Thank you for your support."
Zhou Zheng waved his hand, looked at the other four people, and said, "You go to Yongping Mansion and Hejian Mansion to be the officials of the Six Houses, how about?"
Few people have no plan to live up to. It is lucky to be able to get a half-time job, not to mention being a member of the Zhou family. How unwilling to be, they raised their hands and said: "Thank you, adults, for your support, students will never forget!"
Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea, and said: "You go to Yongping Mansion first, you have met Zhang Heyi and others, and familiarize yourself with the government affairs of Yongping Mansion. I want to promote it in Hejian Mansion. You have to support me. Withdraw, understand?"
The five people stood in front of Zhou Zheng and raised their hands together, saying, "Students take orders!"
Zhou Zheng waved his hand, poured a cup of tea for several people, and began to say something.
The five people listened with solemn expressions, without any hesitation, and all responded with confidence.
Zhou Zheng smiled inwardly, now that you are talking lightly, you will suffer in the future.
Zhou Zheng said this to five people here, and Ma Shiying also hosted a guest at the mansion—Cabinet Zhongshu, Huang Deli.
Ma Shiying and Huang Deli were in the same year, and the two had a very good relationship. Huang Deli did not shy away from saying: "I assure you that as long as you do this thing well, you can be transferred to the household office and your future will be limitless."
Naturally, Ma Shiying is also a man of ambition. Listening to Huang Deli's words, he said: "I really only need a copy of the letter to refute the reform of the Ministry of Households?"
Huang Deli glanced outside and whispered: "Also, you have to file to impeach Zhou Qingli."
When Ma Shiying heard Zhou Qingli's name, her eyes were suddenly wary, and then she said calmly, "Zhou Qingli is just a left servant, what's the use of impeachment?"
Huang Deli said: "I heard that there are vacancies in the Department of Criminal Justice and Zuo Du Yu Shi in the Supreme Court. He is the most promising person. We adults don't want him to go up."
Ma Shiying suddenly understood that this was because some people were afraid that Zhou Qingli would block their way, and they had to act first.
Ma Shiying was able to get rid of the Cui family and board the salt class to promote the division. It was all arranged by Zhou Zheng. What's more, Zhou Qingli was the left servant of the household department and Ma Shiying's immediate boss. How could Ma Shiying impeach Zhou Qingli
Ma Shiying's expression was pretentious, and she said with some embarrassment: "Zhou Qingli is the emperor's hidden residence veteran, and he is trusted. That Zhou Zheng just made a great contribution. Can the people behind you really be able to move?"
Huang Deli smiled slightly and said: "Our adults are in the wild, but we will soon be in court."
Ma Shiying will immediately filter in his mind the big people who can rise again in the wild and will go further, and his face is as usual: "Okay, I will write it later, and I will send it up tomorrow morning!"
Huang Deli was overjoyed and said: "Okay! I have to contact other people, and send them in together tomorrow morning. While Qian Longxi and Yuan Chonghuan's case are not yet settled, I will take Zhou Qingli in too!"
Ma Shiying responded again and again, sending away Huang Deli, her face suddenly sank, and she sneered to herself: "You probably don't know how Qin Renlong and others got into the prison and how they were sent out? "
Ma Shiying stood at the door for a while, gave a few more words, and left.
When it was dark, he quietly came to Zhou Mansion to see Zhou Zheng.
At the moment Zhou is sitting in the room with two one-year-old little guys on his lap, his nephews and nieces-Zhou Deshou and Zhou Jingyuan.
Zhou Zheng wrapped his arms around them, clenched his fists, and looked at the two little guys with a smile: "Guess, which hand is this time?"
The little guys were already learning words, and the two little guys reached out to press Zhou Zheng's right hand almost at the same time.
Zhou Zheng smiled, opened his right hand, and said, "Is this? No."
The two little guys blinked, looking puzzled, and then went to grab Zhou Zheng's left hand.
Zhou Zheng bent his left hand, then opened it, and said, "In the left hand. You are wrong, come again."
The two little guys were puzzled and continued to stare at Zhou Zheng's hands.
This kind of close-up magic can be seen clearly not far away. Sister-in-law Zhou Ding came over and said with a smile: "Okay, my second uncle has something to do, I will play with you later."
The two little guys reluctantly, yelling, were still taken away by Zhou Ding's.
Zhou Zheng looked at Ma Shiying and said, "Something?"
Ma Shiying hurriedly stepped forward and told Huang Deli about his visit.
Zhou Zheng stretched out his hand and picked up the tea cup, and sneered: "I, Daming, don't have an officialdom tumbler. If this one goes honestly, he might be safe. If he comes back, it won't be so easy to retreat."
Ma Shiying also knew the way of officialdom. After Yan Song, there was indeed no one in the officialdom of Daming who could cover the sky with one hand. Even the Eastern Forest Party and the Eunuch Party were not short-lived and disappeared in a flash.
"Then, what should I do?" Ma Shiying asked in a tone of voice. (End of this chapter)
