Zhou Zheng did not hide it, saying: "The student plans to stay in the court."
Han Cheng frowned immediately and looked at Zhou Zheng with a'struggle' expression.
For a moment, Han Cheng sighed: "It's not easy to do things outside, but it's even more difficult in the court. I know you have plans. Remember to be careful."
Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Sir, don't worry, the students have a sense of measure."
Han Cheng was reluctant to talk more about the court, but in fact he couldn't. Then he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you stay, Liaodong will be fine for the time being. The imperative for the court now is to rectify internal affairs. Okay, maybe the court can help."
Zhou Zheng smiled and renewed a cup of tea for Han Cheng, and said jokingly: "Students are alone in the court, and there are no two or three friends. When the time comes, you can't see the death and save your husband..."
Han Cheng smiled more immediately and said: "It seems that you do have some ideas..."
Zhou Zheng did not hide, and said: "The student is planning to do something."
Han Cheng nodded, picked up the tea cup, and took a sip.
Zhou Zheng asked about Jiujiang Pavilion at random, and mentioned that he planned to build one in Tianjin Wei, which naturally made Han Cheng very happy, and said that he would go there in person.
Zhou stayed in Jiujiang Pavilion until dark before leaving.
He tried his best to avoid everyone and ensure that no one was followed, and then he came to a remote restaurant.
Li Zhong was already waiting anxiously, and when he saw Zhou Zheng, he said, "Why are you here? I've been waiting for you for half an hour."
Zhou Zheng looked at his expression and said in confusion: "With your current status and status, who else can threaten you?"
Li Zhong frowned, feeling anxious, and said, "Wang Chengen called me a few words a while ago. I suspect he knows something."
When Zhou Zheng heard this, he quickly pulled him to sit down and said, "Tell me in detail."
Li Zhong sat down, stretched his head, and whispered in Zhou Zheng's ear for a long while. It was what happened in the days before and after Wang Chengen's sentence, especially about Zhou Zheng.
After listening to Zhou Zheng, he was silent and thoughtful.
Li Zhong just looked at him like this, with an uneasy expression on his face, but he pressed it so hard that he didn't dare to disturb Zhou Zheng.
He can have today, it is completely snowy night that day, Zhou Zheng sent him to the letter of the palace began. In his eyes, Zhou Zheng counts as an exhaustive plan. He can see the places that others can't see, which is his backer in the bottom of his heart.
After a long while, Zhou Zheng looked up and said calmly: "Wang Chengen should have seen from some details that you are related to the outside affairs, but it should only stop there. Which of the inner prisoners has nothing to do with the courtiers? Wang Chengen just made a point. Probably out of good intentions, not really suspicious of you."
Li Zhong listened with a sigh of relief, and finally he can let go of his worries these days.
Zhou Zheng looked at his expression and shook his head somewhat amused, and said: "You are in the palace, you can not fight, not fight is to fight, your greatest confidence lies in the emperor, as long as the emperor trusts you, you can do other things boldly. You are greedy. Cai, get closer to a certain minister. As long as the emperor knows in his heart, he won’t really treat you. The emperor is not afraid of corrupt officials, but the incomparably clean people. Such people often have different ambitions. Do you understand me?"
Li Zhong seriously thought about it for a while, and said: "I understand. Then, should I face the prince in front of the emperor..."
Zhou Zheng's expression sank, and he said, "Don't mess around! Remember, you can move other people, but Wang Chengen can't! Unless you are sure that one blow will kill you, don't move around!"
Li Zhong looked panicked and quickly said: "Yes, I took it down."
Zhou Zheng looked at his expression and saw that he really didn't mean to be messy, then he nodded and said: "What is the emperor's recent concern?"
Li Zhongdao: "Long live Lord has been worrying about the chaos of the bandits in Northwest China recently. The Bingbu Zou reported that there are hundreds of thousands of bandits in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, and Beizhili. I thought about transferring you to Henan before."
Zhou Zheng hummed, his expression thoughtful.
Shanxi, Henan, and then to Beizhili, these bandits have already approached the capital, so Chongzhen is not worried, and conscription by soldiers is inevitable.
It's just that, historically, the military strength of the officers and the army is not bad, and the record is good, but in the end they are still defeated by their own people.
From Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Sichang, Cao Wenzhao to the last Sun Chuanting, everything is like this.
Zhou Zheng paused for a moment and said, "Where does the money and food come from?"
Li Zhongdao: "The Ministry of Households can solve part of it, and then the governors of various places, and the governor raises himself. If it doesn't work, it will be a tax increase."
Zhou Zheng was not surprised at all. After thinking about it, he said, "In this way, if you find an opportunity to talk to the emperor, you can get some from Hejian Mansion and Yongping Mansion. First, I can stop the imperial court; second, you You can also put aside the relationship with me."
What Li Zhong cares most about is naturally'Second', and hurriedly said: "Okay, I will find a chance to talk to Long Live Master. Then, how much is appropriate?"
Zhou Zhengdao: "Fifty thousand taels, no, one hundred thousand taels, one hundred thousand taels per year, Yongping Mansion, Hejian Mansion, Tianjin Weisandi. The officials of these three places, the people who want to pass the Bingbei Road to me, look at them. All right."
Such a small official is naturally not in the eyes of the second eunuch. Li Zhong looked excited and promised: "Don't worry, we are our own, and I will not look at others doing you harm!"
Zhou Zheng smiled, and then said: "I heard that the emperor is a little dissatisfied with Yuan Fu?"
Li Zhong knew how Zhou Yanru ascended to the throne of the first assistant. His smile narrowed, he glanced outside, and said in a low voice: "National affairs are getting difficult, Yuansuke's ability makes Long live master dissatisfied. Moreover, Mr. The impeachment of Yuansuke wants to replace him."
Old Wen Ge is also Wen Tiren.
If this is the case, Zhou Yanru is afraid that he will be ousted by Wen Tiren and replaced by Wen Tiren, just like in history. The brief peace between the ruling and opposition parties is about to pass, and a new round of party disputes will re-emerge.
Zhou Zheng thought for a while and said: "You still do you. I didn't notify you, so you will do nothing and try to clear the relationship with the courtiers."
This is what Li Zhong wanted, and he nodded and said, "I listen to you."
Zhou Zheng glanced outside and said, "We change the contact method and the meeting place. I will inform you about the specifics at that time. The rest of the day will be difficult, so you should be more careful."
Li Zhong got up and said, "Okay, I have to go back."
Zhou Zheng looked at his back, waited for a while, and then quietly left.
On the way back to the mansion, Zhou Zheng sighed in secret and said to himself: He should be qualified to stir the muddy water of the court now, right
As soon as Zhou Zheng returned to the house, Uncle Fu greeted him and said, "Second Young Master, two generals have been waiting for you for a long time."
Zhou Zheng was stunned, and immediately thought of who it was, and hurriedly stepped forward. (End of this chapter)
