Zhou Zheng is on Phi Island and mobilized a considerable force in an attempt to rebuild Dongjiang Town.
With the infusion of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, Phidao and Lushun are changing with each passing day, constantly building cities, opening up wasteland, and constantly selecting soldiers and strengthening training.
When Zhou Zheng rectified Dongjiang Town, major incidents occurred again in the ruling and opposition parties, and they spread to Zhou Zheng's ears one after another.
The first is that the bandits conquered Zhending Mansion and reached the outskirts of Gyeonggi, only a step away from Hejian Mansion. When the ruling and opposition parties vibrated, the Chongzhen emperor ordered all officers and soldiers to resist and suppress them. At the same time, Wang Cheng'en admired the Beijing camp, and the capital almost came under martial law again.
The second thing was that at the end of February, Yushi Zheng Youyuan was impeached and owed two thousand nine hundred taels of treasury silver. Zheng Youyuan was a student of Bi Ziyan, and Bi Ziyan was also a householder, so he was naturally held accountable.
The result was that Bi Ziyan was framed by others, and Zheng Youyuan was missing the 2,900 taels that had already been paid in.
As a result, Bi Ziyan was imprisoned!
As a result, since the Chongzhen dynasty, the last six tumbler fell over.
Sitting in the study, Zhou Zheng looked at Zhou Qingli's autograph letter, and for a long time, he quietly put it down.
Meng Hezhou, Cao Bianjiao, He Kegang and others stood in front of him, and they already knew the changes in the court.
Meng Hezhou looked at Zhou Zheng's expression and said, "My lord, Bi Shangshu has served as the head of the household department for six years. This is not the case. I am afraid that the ruling and the opposition will not be calm."
Cao Bianjiao and He Kegang are all martial artists, and the court is far from them, but they are also deeply afraid and don't know what to say.
Zhou Zheng thinks more, and Bi Ziyan has outstanding ability. The imperial taxation has increased over the years, which has suppressed a lot of chaos. If he goes, he is afraid that the flood will break the bank and make it even more chaotic.
Bi Ziyan has gone, first assistant Zhou Yanru, how long can he hold on
Zhou Zheng thought for a while, looked up at the crowd, and said, "I have to go back to Beijing."
Everyone has guessed, He Kegang said: "My lord, how do you arrange the island?"
Zhou Zhengdao: "You are the deputy commander-in-chief, and I have nothing to worry about when Dongjiang Town is handed over to you. I will proceed step by step and be cautious. Jiankui will definitely not tolerate the return of Dongjiang Town. ."
He Kegang hurriedly said: "Yes. I will write it down at the end."
Zhou Zheng looked at Meng Hezhou again and said, "Let Chu Jin stay on Phi Island and you will come back to Beijing with me."
Meng Hezhou raised his hand and said, "Yes."
Zhou Zheng looked at Cao Bianjiao again, and said, "I’ve recommended you to prepare the way for the Tianjin Army. The Ministry of Defense will give you an order to go back to Tianjin. I will hand it to Zhang Cunren in the Dengzhou Prefecture. I will do everything according to the plan. Questions, write to me."
Cao Bianjiao raised his hand and said, "The last general will lead!"
Zhou Zheng arranged these in a hurry. Thinking of the chaos in Beijing, he secretly shook his head and said, "I will board the ship tomorrow."
Everyone naturally had no other objections, and the arrangements were made properly, so they prepared separately.
The next day, Zhou Zheng left by boat from Phi Island, stopped in Lushun, inspected Huanglong's army, and then went directly to Tianjin Wei.
After staying in Tianjin Weizhou for three days, after dealing with some things, he went straight back to Beijing.
Zhou Zheng's sister-in-law, Zhou Ding's younger brother, Ding Qi, accompanied Zhou Zheng back to Beijing. The two of them rode in a carriage and talked about Hejian Mansion, Yongping Mansion and Tianjin Wei along the way.
Ding Qi did not go to Denglai and stayed at Tianjin Wei.
After saying this, Ding Qi said with some emotion: "Second brother, you said, our emperor is really cruel. He has been on the throne for six years. Except for your master’s rapid retreat, few can have a good end. You said, full Didn’t the court have a loyal minister worthy of the emperor’s trust?"
Ding Qi is younger than Zhou Zheng, privately called Zhou Zheng's second brother.
Zhou Zheng crossed his legs and leaned on Xiangbi, knowing that Ding Qi was talking about Bi Ziyan's imprisonment, so he glanced at him and said, "Don't say this to anyone in the future."
Ding Qi suddenly smiled and said, "Isn't this with your second brother? By the way, your second brother, will your Master Zhou come back? I heard that if Master Zhou comes back, he will definitely enter the cabinet."
Zhou Zheng simply said: "No."
Ding Qi smiled stiffly. Although the court was dangerous, they were all developed on the basis of Zhou's family. If Zhou Qingli could join the court, they would surely rise.
It would be a pity that Zhou Qingli did not enter the cabinet.
Zhou Zheng ignored the thoughts of Ding Qi and others, saying: "After you return to Beijing, touch the six ministries and nine temples of the cabinet, the governors, the governors, and the governor. I want their specific names, family backgrounds and resumes, the more detailed they are. it is good."
Ding Qi was taken aback, and said quickly: "Okay, I'll find someone to check when I go back."
Before Zhou Zheng arrived in the capital, Bi Ziyan's case was over. Bi Ziyan was pleaded with courtesy by many ministers, and he was punished to live in his hometown.
Affected by this, the Ministry of Households was purged, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette was also forced to pay officialdom.
At the same time, the council recommended six cabinet ministers, including Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren, including Zheng Yiwei, Wu Zongda, Xu Guangqi, and He Ruchong. The cabinet was full of nine people.
The news about Zhou Yanru's dismissal from the ruling and opposition parties was raging, and the Wen Tiren party members began to impeach Zhou Yanru frantically.
Zhou Yanru naturally wanted to protect himself, and even counterattack, the ruling and opposition parties were so lively.
Zhou Zheng returned to Zhou Mansion, washed a little, and chatted with Zhou Qingli in the sun in the yard.
Zhou Qingli listened to what Zhou Zheng was doing in Denglai and Dongjiang Town, waiting for Zhou Zheng’s voice to fall, and commented: "Dongjiang Town is indeed very important to me, and we must not lose it. However, Dongjiang Town is far away from the court. Regarding self-respect, not listening to the announcement, Mao Wenlong is a lesson from the past."
Zhou Zhengdao: "I will regularly rotate the forces of Pidao and Lushun, including Tianjin Wei and Denglai, to ensure that they will not form a vassal, and there are a variety of control methods."
Zhou Qingli lay on the rocking chair, holding a teacup in her hand, and said: "Soldiers, sharp weapons, saints have to use them. This sentence is very suitable for you now, you have to be careful."
Zhou Qingli’s words are naturally not nonsense saying that soldiers cannot be used, but Zhou Zheng is now the governor of Denglai. He has Dongjiang Town, Denglai two prefectures, and navy. If you add Tianjin Wei, Hejian prefecture, and Yong Pingfu, he has a total force of nearly one hundred thousand!
A sharp weapon can hurt others, and it can hurt yourself!
Zhou Zheng understood what Zhou Qingli meant, and said: "The imperial court shouldn't pay attention to me for the time being, it's okay. Dad, did the Bi Shangshu matter involve you?"
Zhou Qing Li Meiyu was a little bit painful, and sighed slightly, and said: "He resisted everything. The emperor said his six years of merits and did not hold him accountable. But now, I am afraid that I will not be mentioned again. Leaving Beijing When I went to see him off, his head was gray-haired, and he was ten years old at once. It seemed that he would not last for a few years."
This situation is already considered good.
Zhou Zheng secretly shook his head, changed the subject, and said, "Yuan Fu really can't hold it anymore?"
Zhou Qingli turned her head and glanced at Zhou Zheng, and said, "How deeply involved are you with Yuan Fu?"
Zhou Zheng pondered for a moment, and said, "He doesn't have my handle in his hand. Even if he goes to prison, he won't say anything." (End of this chapter)
