The arrest of Ningshan, the magistrate of Hejian County, naturally caused a huge disturbance in Hejian Prefecture.
No one dared to say that Zhou Zheng came to Hejian Mansion as'thunder and rain, little rain', just doing something, not only the gentry and wealthy businessmen were awakened, but the whole Hejian Mansion officials were even more terrified.
But in three days, there were six prefects (prefectures) sent letters to Hu Qingzheng to resign, and dozens of officials and officials resigned directly and ran out of Hejian Mansion.
This saved Zhou Zheng a lot of hands and feet and appointed Liufang and many other officials through the Hejian Mansion to further control the Hejian Mansion.
Except for Nanzhili, which is better in the whole area of Daming now, there are countless bandits everywhere, and there are many big and small hills.
Cao Bianjiao's suppression of bandits continued to deepen, from the outside to the inside, through the prefecture and the government, not only the bandits, but also some officials and gentry connected with the bandits.
Qi Lian moved quickly, cleaning quickly in Hejian County, and at the same time preparing and arranging manpower in other states and counties.
By mid-May, the entire Hejian Prefecture was suppressing the bandits and launched a'stabilization operation', and each county government arrested more than 500 people!
I don't know how many grievances are gathering, boiling, and how many memorials have been sent into the capital.
Zhou Zheng didn't care about this. The six houses in Hejian Mansion, the jailer and other people who had all replaced him, the magistrate of Hejian Mansion, besides the three of him who had taken refuge in, resigned, and twelve were arrested!
He controlled all states and counties through Liufang, Hejian Mansion, and he has completely controlled it!
The'business guidelines','land reorganization','household registration' and other things were organized in an orderly manner.
Whenever encountering resistance, Zhou Zheng violently borrowed the "Stable Operation" to wipe out the bandits, and reform Hejian Mansion at the fastest speed.
Hejian Mansion is different from Yongping Mansion. The opposition aroused one level higher than that of Yongping Mansion, and countless rumors spread in Hejian Mansion.
For example, Zhou Zheng's rebellious actions will inevitably not survive the year. The prefect Hu Qingzheng is dissatisfied with Zhou Zheng's disturbance of Hejian Prefecture. He has written to impeach Zhou Zheng, the imperial court will send an imperial mission to investigate Zhou Zheng, Zhou Zheng is about to be imprisoned, and so on.
Zhou Zheng was sitting in Hejian Mansion, as if he could not hear this, and even sacrificed efficiency and pursued speed, asking Yao Tongshun and others to complete the general reform framework as soon as possible.
Yao Tongshun and others naturally felt the majestic pressure, gritted their teeth and pushed various matters.
In Hejian Mansion, no one was Zhou Zheng's opponent, but Zhou Zheng used various excuses to suppress any appearance. If you can't make Zhou Zheng in Hejian Mansion, it will naturally rise to the imperial court.
Hejian Mansion is very close to the capital. In fact, the court received the memorial early, but due to various strange reasons, it was delayed for many days.
On this day, Chongzhen looked at the piles of memorabilia impeaching Zhou Zheng, and called his first assistant Zhou Yanru to the front.
Chongzhen looked at these memorials with a look of boredom, and said, "What do you think?"
Not long after Zhou Yanru entered the pavilion, he was extremely good at trying to figure out Chongzhen’s mind. He pretended to ponder for a while, and said with a calm expression: "Your Majesty, from the perspective of Zhou Zhengyun, the magistrate of Hejian County, Ningshan and others, Hejian Mansion is indeed Corruption is rampant, and there are a lot of corrupt officials. He has a holy grace, so there is nothing wrong with doing so."
Chongzhen looked dissatisfied, and said, "So many impeachment memos, is that it?"
Zhou Yanru's expression was calm, and he said: "Your Majesty, the minister is worried that it is false to go to Zhou Zhengyun, it may be to the Ministry of Households."
Chongzhen was startled and said, "Hube? What's the explanation for this?"
Zhou Yanru's appearance gave people a calm, calm, and old-fashioned feeling of seeking the country. He looked at Chongzhen with a solemn expression on his face, and said: "A Zhou Zheng, even if he is really out of character in Hejian Mansion, he won't make the ruling and the opposition so angry. So many people impeach him, it is more like someone is behind it. The Ministry of Household is pursuing the purge of Huangtian and Huangzhuang, and Zhou Yuanshan is presiding over it. They know that His Majesty trusts Zhou Yuanshan very much and will not easily impeach him. So, start with his son. On the surface, it was directed at Zhou Zhengyun, and I was afraid it was directed at the Huhu, Bi Shangshu and Zhou Shilang."
Chongzhen suddenly looked ugly when he heard it, and he also thought of it.
In Chongzhen's eyes, Bi Ziyan is a man who can do great things with few words. This person, regardless of fame and fortune, is immersed in work, has no friends or parties, and is one of the few capable and loyal ministers.
In particular, the Ministry of Households has continuously increased tax revenues and reduced malpractices, which makes Chongzhen very satisfied.
In addition, Zhou Qingli didn't just want to do things for the official position, which made Chongzhen applaud. Chongzhen's face was naturally ugly when he heard that someone was manipulating it behind the scenes.
"Who is it?" Chongzhen stared at Zhou Yan Rudao.
Zhou Yanru said: "Your Majesty, the impeachment person seems to have everyone. It is difficult to have a context, and it is difficult for officials to infer."
Chongzhen nodded slightly, and after changing so many first assistants, Zhou Yanru comforted him the most. First, Zhou Yanru was obedient, and second, Zhou Yanru was willing to speak, and would tell him many things that the chief assistant would not say before.
Chongzhen thought for a moment, and said, "What do you think should be done?"
Zhou Yanru thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister suggested that Zhou Zhengyun should be reprimanded. This has two advantages. First, it stops the prosecutor's mouth. Tell the ruling and opposition parties, Your Majesty Shengming, there is no favoritism; Second, Zhou Zhengyun Other things remain unchanged, and it won't be cold to Bi Shangshu, Zhou Shilang's heart."
Zhou Yanru's approach made Chongzhen very happy, much better than his predecessors, cabinet ministers, and six ministers who didn't say a word or pushed trouble on him!
"Okay, just do it." Chongzhen said with a comfortable smile.
Zhou Yanru raised his hand to answer, and just about to leave, Chongzhen suddenly turned a little and said, "How is Yuan Chonghuan's case?"
Yuan Chonghuan has been in jail for a few months. Jizhou Governor Liu Ce was abandoned two months ago, but Yuan Chonghuan’s case has not been resolved for a long time.
Zhou Yanru frowned, and hesitated: "Your Majesty, Yuan Chonghuan’s case is quite controversial on the Sansi side. The ministers have held nine large discussions in the cabinet, and it is still difficult to decide. Not only is it difficult to balance within the court, but the court and the opposition are talking about it. It's also quite a lot."
Chongzhen naturally knew that the memorials he had received to plead for Yuan Chonghuan had exceeded one hundred, and there were not a few who argued with him face to face.
But Jianlu almost broke the city. The fact that he almost became the king of subjugation has kept him in his throat, sleepless at night, and hated Yuan Chonghuan in his heart.
"I don't care about any comments, I want to conclude the trial as soon as possible!" Chongzhen ordered strictly.
Zhou Yanru raised his hand and said, "Yes, the minister abides by the decree."
Chongzhen didn't say much, and continued to bury the first case.
He became more and more diligent, very demanding on himself, and was busy with government affairs all night long.
Zhou Yanru left the Palace of Qianqing with the calm and calm expression on his face. He looked at Li Zhong who had sent him off and smiled and said, "I haven't thanked Grandpa Li for his kind words in front of the emperor. My father-in-law must be free to leave the palace. , Must find me."
Li Zhong smiled and kept his distance: "Yuanfu said and laughed, our family just speaks truthfully, but we dare not accept Yuanfu's affection."
The more Zhou Yanru smiled, he said: "This love, father-in-law can definitely bear it."
Li Zhong smiled without saying a word, stretched out his hand and said, "Yuanfu, please."
Zhou Yanru also had a knowing expression and walked outside.
Li Zhong sent Zhou Yanru away and returned to the Dongnuan Pavilion in Chongzhen.
"What did Shoufu tell you?" Chongzhen said lightly without raising his head.
Li Zhong looked panicked and hurriedly said: "Yuanfu said that the maidservant Chengnu said his kindness in front of Lord Long live, and told the maidservant to go to him when he was out of the palace." (End of this chapter)
