Liu Liuzhe looked around again, helped Zhou Zheng to get into the carriage, and said, "I, Meng Hezhou, have checked it out. If you move, you can pull him off the horse at any time."
Zhou Zheng lifted the carriage curtain and said, "Don't worry, I haven't stood firm in the Ministry of War, so I will do it later."
Liu Liuzhe replied and said loudly: "Second Young Master, Master has been waiting in the mansion for a long time, let's go back to the mansion."
Zhou Zheng's carriage hadn't moved yet, and I don't know how many people around the yamen were still watching.
Zhou Zheng, in the eyes of many of them, is a troublesome figure. Even though almost ten years have passed since those things, not many people are willing to come back.
Even if the court changed one crop after another, the original events are still vivid.
A person who dares to speak the truth is more terrifying than those who speak the truth.
"The eventful autumn..."
I don't know how many people have expressed such feelings, and they are returning to the big offices in various ministries.
Zhou Zheng, who was promoted to the rank of Minister of War, was not the only one, although he was eye-catching.
Another Juren, before Zhou Zheng, had been promoted to Zuo Shi Lang of the Ministry of War, and that was Chen Xinjia!
This person is different from Cao Wenzhao, Lu Xiangsheng and other generals. He is both civil and military, and he is extremely outstanding in both military and government affairs.
He was a Juren in the thirty-sixth year of Wanli, with solid qualifications, and was appreciated by Yang Sichang and recommended as Zuo Shi Lang of the Ministry of War, half a month before Zhou Zheng entered Beijing.
Not here today, Zhou Zheng didn't see it.
Zhou Zheng was sitting on the carriage, swaying back to the house, still thinking of Yang Sichang in his heart.
This person is indeed outstanding. If he is allowed to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of War, without the constraints of a captive, he may really be able to eliminate the bandits.
This is not in line with Zhou Zheng's plan.
What Liu Liuzhe said, referring to this person!
Zhou Zheng was much later than the expected time to return to the mansion, earlier than the meal prepared by the Zhou mansion.
However, a group of people in Zhou's Mansion were still waiting. Only a few children were hungry before eating.
Uncle Fu and others were waiting for Zhou Zheng at the door. When he came back, they were pleasantly surprised to report to Zhou Zheng and said, "Second Young Master, are you tired? The master and in-laws have been waiting for a long time."
Zhou Zheng smiled and greeted, walking inward.
Sure enough, as soon as I arrived in the backyard, I saw a lot of people sitting there, not only Zhou's in-laws, but also some close people.
When Zhou Zheng came back, almost everyone stood up and greeted him with a smile.
Zhou Qingli, Ding Mian naturally sat still, Shangguanxun instinctively wanted to stand up, suddenly remembering his identity, and reluctantly sat still.
Zhou Zheng said hello one by one, walked in, and raised his hand to Zhou Qingli and the others.
Zhou Qingli watched Zhou Zheng come back, with a smile on her face, she stood up and said, "Go and wash first. Let's have dinner here."
Zhou Zheng responded, succumbed to the crime, and returned to his room.
As soon as he was out of the house, a little guy outside ran to Zhou Zheng in a twitchy manner, and yelled, "Father..."
Zhou Zheng opened his eyes and quickly bent over to hug Xiao Deshen, rubbed his face against his small face, and said with a smile: "Did you miss Dad?"
The little guy pulled Zhou Zheng's face with his little hands, his little head shrank desperately.
Shangguanqing never walked over and whispered, "Give it to me first, the bath water is ready."
Zhou Zheng glanced at her, walked forward holding his son, and said, "Is there nothing wrong at home?"
Shangguanqing walked beside Zhou Zheng and said, "It's okay."
Zhou Zheng shook the little guy in his arms, teasing, and said, "I'm not going away for now, don't worry."
Shangguanqing turned to look at Zhou Zheng's profile, and whispered, "Outside is better than Beijing."
Zhou Zheng was startled, looking at Shangguanqing's serious expression, and said with a smile: "It used to be, not now."
Shangguanqing blinked, a little unsure.
Zhou Zheng didn't explain, he looked at the little guy in his arms and said, "Son, can you take a bath with Dad?"
The little guy pushed Zhou Zheng's approaching face vigorously, looking at Shangguanqing babblingly, his small face was crying for help.
Zhou Zheng laughed, holding him back to the house.
After Zhou Zheng took a shower, he took the little guy back to the back room and ate with a group of people.
At the dinner table, the focus is naturally Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng captured Gao Yingxiang, relieved the confidants of the Ming Dynasty, settled down the ruling and opposition parties, and was promoted to the post of Minister of War. The topic was inseparable from him.
Zhou Zheng talked about the experience of the past six months, focusing on Gao Yingxiang, and commented casually.
Ding Mian put down his chopsticks and said, "Zhengyun is right. Rogues are indeed my confidant. For a while, I am afraid that it will be inexhaustible. Some friends and relatives have written to ask me what I think, very worried."
Scholars in the Ming Dynasty were extremely indifferent to the gangsters, because these gangsters weren't really "rebels". They were doing house robbery, looting the gentry, and ganging up with bandits. How could the scholars like it
This is also the reason why Gao Yingxiang, and later Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong have always been gangsters and cannot become an'uprising'.
This is also destined to be impossible for them to establish a brand new dynasty after overthrowing the Ming Dynasty.
From the bottom of their hearts, they don't have such a pattern, ability and conditions.
Zhou Qingli stood a little higher, and sighed softly: "This rogue has been suppressed for more than ten years, and the more the suppression is getting bigger, the ruling and the opposition have been anxious and feared of subjugating the country, so now they are a little more stable.
Everyone here knows that Emperor Chongzhen cried and complained about the ancestral temple and sinned against himself and nodded silently.
Everyone quickly skipped this repressive topic and turned to Zhou Zheng's upcoming appointment in the Recruitment Department.
Zhou Zheng talked about some thoughts and the people he wanted to bring in, which made everyone present very satisfied, because there were people from his family in it.
The host and the host enjoyed a meal until midnight.
The guests left, Zhou Zheng and his son sat in the pavilion, watching the bright moonlight, drinking tea, and talking about the ruling and the opposition.
Zhou Qingli said: "Yang Sichang is still a very capable person. He is more aggressive than Zhang Fengyi. You can capture Gao Yingxiang this time. This is also due to Yang Sichang's earlier arrangement."
Zhou Zheng nodded, to explain the last minister's ability and structure, Yang Sichang can definitely enter the top three, especially the strategy of'ten-face spreading the net', which almost eliminated banditry, is indeed more energetic and courageous than others.
The hundreds of thousands of money and food prepared were just for his pre-preparation for his anti-bandit strategy!
Zhou Qingli glanced at Zhou Zheng and said, "However, this person is very domineering and only appoints people he knows. Others are outsiders. They fight hard and exclude dissidents. You are in the Ministry of War and must be squeezed out by him. He has been very good recently. Sacred Heart, you must proceed with caution."
Only then did Zhou Zheng speak, and said: "On the way out of the palace, we reached a tacit understanding and did not interfere with each other."
Zhou Qingli's expression was slightly different. He didn't expect that Zhou Zheng had reached a tacit agreement with Yang Sichang just after he entered Beijing!
Zhou Qingli knew that there was something here, so she didn’t ask much, and said, “That’s the best. You are now the Minister of War, and you are going to enter the court every March 9th. You must not be impulsive in the court. The emperor’s temper becomes more uncontrollable , Don’t treat him as the first emperor."
Zhou Zheng said: "I plan to focus on Shandong, Tianjin Wei, and Liaodong. I don't have time to pay attention to the court, and I will hide my power and bide my time."
Zhou Qingli drank a sip of tea and said: "You are now the minister of war, if you go to Beijing to patrol, you must bring the Shangfang sword, the governor of Liaodong, and the governor of Shandong must be controlled by you. You can do something well, but you must be careful. None of the officials are vegetarian."
Zhou Zheng was already thinking about the layout of a series of personnel in Liaodong, listening to the sidelines: "I know, I will be cautious." (End of this chapter)
