On the second day after Zhou Fang's family came back, Zhou Qingli also came back.
The Zhou family gathered in the back room, cheering and laughing constantly.
Xiao Jingyuan, Xiao Deshou sat on Zhou Qingli's lap and said tiredly: "Grandpa, do my clothes look good?"
This is the clothes Zhou Zheng gave them, tight, warm, and a touch of'heroic'.
Zhou Qingli smiled and said, "It's so good to watch."
The small faces of the two little guys were excited, and said: "Second Uncle made it for us, and there is a night pearl. It is warm at night, so comfortable..."
Zhou Qingli was particularly doting to her two grandsons, and she should agree with everything she said.
After waiting for a while, Zhou just said: "Father, there is nothing on the road, right?"
Zhou Qingli took a snack to Xiao Jingyuan and said, "It's okay, just go around a little bit."
Now Daming is full of bandits. Civil turmoil and mutiny can occur even in places like Hangzhou. You can imagine Jiangxi, Henan and other places.
As Zhou Qingli spoke, she glanced at Zhou Zheng, not breaking Zhou Zheng's people following him.
Zhou Fang became more and more calm, and said, "That's good. The second brother's marriage is almost over. The witnesses invited Mr. Jinghu and the guests to be as simple as possible. There are still some things that need to be handled by you."
Zhou Qingli smiled and said, "Well, I will go to lie down at the official's house tomorrow and make arrangements. The wedding will be set on the sixth day of next year. I will make arrangements for the guests. For the rest, let Fu Bo and your wife make arrangements. "
When Zhou Fang listened, he smiled and nodded, and said, "Okay."
After Zhou Fang finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "Do you have any special arrangements or special guests?"
Zhou Zheng thought for a while and said, "No more, keep everything simple."
Zhou Fang said: "Okay, then I will let your sister-in-law arrange with Fu Bo."
Zhou Ding said with a smile: "The Shangguan family doesn't have any special requirements, so you can rest assured."
The family talked about Zhou Zheng's marriage. After a while, Zhou Ding took the two little guys away, leaving only three fathers and sons left.
Zhou Fang talked about his plan, planning to transition to Dali Temple for a period of time and transfer to Yongping Prefecture.
Zhou Qingli listened quietly, and said: "Yongping Mansion’s innovation has been done very well, and several adults appreciate it. If it can continue to run through, perseverance will be a reference for the imperial court’s innovation. You should do it well."
Seeing that Zhou Qingli did not object, Zhou Fang immediately said: "Father, don't worry, my second brother and I will stick to it. You don't know that Yongping Mansion is now in the country and the people are safe. Those civil disturbances are not at all in Yongping Mansion, completely different from other places..."
When Zhou Zheng started in Yongping Mansion, Zhou Qingli had been staring, not knowing where, listening to the elder son, just smiled.
When Zhou Fang came to an end, Zhou Qingli said: "South of Hejian Prefecture, Daming Prefecture, and Baoding Prefecture have also been quite unstable recently. Although Lu Xiangsheng has made great achievements in suppressing the bandits, he failed to completely eliminate the chaos, and some have become more and more fierce. This worry is very worrying. If you can set up a successful example, it will be of great significance to the court and to me, so don’t take it lightly."
Zhou Fang glanced at Zhou Zheng and said, "Father, don't worry, we will do it well. Before, you said that you want to get back, but my second brother and I disagree."
Zhou Qingli nodded gently, picked up the tea cup, and said, "I know your concerns. Now I just want to get back up, it's not that easy."
Zhou Zheng hadn't spoken, and now he said, "It's Wang Tianguan's business?"
Zhou Qingli took a sip of tea and said: "The emperor has always suspected that some of the courtiers have formed a party, and I am afraid that Bi Shangshu and I are also in the list. At this time, the emperor will not allow me to return to the court."
Zhou Zheng didn't expect this to happen. In this case, Emperor Chongzhen was suspicious of the entire court.
Zhou Qingli didn't care about him, and looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "Are you planning to return to the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"
Zhou Zheng didn't hide it, and said, "Yes. I can basically do everything that can be done outside. Now it is time to go back to the court to do something."
Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng with no concealment of worry in her eyes, and said: "Now it’s no better than before. The eunuch party and the East Forest party were so clear that they could still deal with it. The current court can’t tell who is a person, who is a ghost, and what they want to do. You must be cautious again and again, don't trust others lightly, people's hearts are changing."
Zhou Zheng knew that Father Zhou should have meant something in his words, and nodded: "I know. I plan to go back after the middle of the year. There are still many things to do now."
Zhou Qingli didn’t ask too much, and said: “You are now on the record for your credit. With your qualifications, you should say that you are also an official historian of the capital. You should have the opportunity to be in the court. Today is not apocalypse."
Zhou Qingli spent four or five years next to Chongzhen, knowing the character behind the emperor's diligence and self-denial.
Zhou Zhengdao: "Well, I will take the right measures, and I won't go astray as before."
Zhou Qingli knew that his second son had a stronger sentiment towards Daming than him. Not to mention the few times that the court did not fear the nobles, but the two battles in Beijing and Youtun that did not care about themselves are enough to explain everything.
Zhou Qingli didn't say much, but looked at the two sons and said, "After Zhengyun gets married, you can separate. If you want to stay, you can stay. I won't stop you."
It is tradition and rule for children to marry and separate families.
When Zhou Fang heard this, he hurriedly said, "Father, what did he say? Why did Zheng Yun mention the separation of the family before he got married? Don't say this in the future."
Zhou Zheng also said: "Father, it's not that I can't live in the house, these words are too early."
Zhou Qingli laughed, and said: "Then talk about it later, you can go ahead if you are busy, and I have to visit Master Bi."
Zhou Fang and Zhou Zheng didn't say much, and after a few more casual conversations, they left Zhou Qingli's room.
The Zhou family, now busy with Zhou Zheng's marriage, is very lively inside and out.
Zhou Zheng's relatives, friends and various relationships, Zhou Zhengneng pushed all the push, suppressing the marriage to the lowest level, much lower-key than Liu Liuzhe.
While Zhou Zheng was busy, big things still happened in the court.
The official secretary Wang Yongguang was imprisoned, and he was imprisoned. There were three servants in the six departments, one Zhengqing in the nine temples, three Shaoqing, two governors, two governors, three chief envoys, and other officials up to more than seventy. People are dismissed from office, sent to prison, sent out!
Perhaps Chongzhen was angry at someone he trusted so much. He actually formed a party. There was no mercy at all. Jin Yiwei ran across the capital, which almost reproduced the tiring grand occasion that everyone feared during Wei Zhongxian's period.
The ruling and the opposition are naturally at risk for everyone, and I don't know how many people are afraid and uneasy.
Wang Yongguang has served as the official secretary for five years. He appointed, recommended, and his relatives, relatives and friends don’t know how much. The ruling and opposition parties have a lot of discussions for a while, and countless people have written to resign, wanting Avoid this trend.
At the same time, He Ruchong, a cabinet minister, was implicated in resigning, and his official appointment was approved. The six shangshus changed rapidly. Only the Hubu Shangshu Bi Ziyan and the War Department Zhang Fengyi were not moved.
There are even rumors that the first assistant Zhou Yanru's position is unstable, and it may not be long since Zhizhi. (End of this chapter)
