Yang Sichang took a deep breath and shook his head and said, "No. After I leave Beijing, the Ministry of War will be handed over to you. After Yuanfu, the court will inevitably be turbulent. You have always been a friend and party, and this time you have to stay away. , Don’t get involved."
Zhou Zheng always felt that Yang Sichang seemed to be concealing something, but he didn't ask much, and said, "Okay. You still need to deal with Lu Xiangsheng in front of the emperor."
Yang Sichang said, "I don't have a problem, I just hope Yuanfu won't mess up and talk nonsense."
Qian Qinggong was obviously dissatisfied with Wen Tiren. If Wen Tiren tried to protect Lu Xiangsheng at this time, it would be counterproductive. Not only would it not be able to keep it, but he would also send Lu Xiangsheng a ride.
The court is a puddle of muddy water, and no one can tell what will happen next moment.
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "It changes according to the situation."
Zhou Zheng discussed with Yang Sichang to please, and went to see Lu Xiangsheng again, and did not return to the house until dawn.
The next day, Lu Xiangsheng's memo was not sent up yet, but the Ministry of War received reports from all over the world.
First, Chen Xinjia defeated Li Zicheng in the northwest, forcing Li Zicheng from Suiyuan to Fengxiang, to Weinan, and finally to Sichuan, which was quite embarrassed.
Zhang Xianzhong, who was in Nanzhili, faced the encirclement and suppression of Ming forces from various directions.
Lu Xiangsheng's memorial was sent, and with the informant memorial that impeached Lu Xiangsheng for killing Liang, Chongzhen was naturally furious and ordered Yang Sichang and Wen Tiren into the palace.
Due to Yang Sichang's protection, Lu Xiangsheng's guilt was greatly reduced, but he was still sent to jail awaiting trial, not so easy to resign.
Regarding the Northwest matter, it was also decided in the palace, but it was not what Yang Sichang and Zhou Zheng said.
On behalf of Lu Xiang, Xiong Wencan was promoted to the premier of the Northwest, and Chen Xinjia divided the northwest and the southeast. In addition, Shi Kefa was promoted to the capital of Yushi, governor of Anqing, Luzhou four prefectures, and Henan, Huguang, Jiangxi and other nine counties in military affairs.
Zhou Zheng knew that when Lu Xiangsheng was imprisoned, Yang Sichang was still in the palace.
In the class room, Zhang Heyi and Yao Tongshun were standing at Zhou Zheng's table. Their expressions were different, and they were both condensed.
Zhang Heyi said: "Yang Shangshu is obviously to guard against adults, Xiong Wencan's matter, I haven't leaked the slightest tone before."
Yao Tongshun glanced outside and said in a low voice: "The Ministry of War is also a bit weird. The villain always feels that some people are deliberately avoiding us, as if they are secretly planning something."
Zhou Zheng folded his hands and his eyes flickered slightly.
It is not surprising that Yang Sichang is guarding him, but it is very problematic to guard against him so clearly.
Zhou Zheng's index fingers circled around, and various thoughts flew in his heart, saying: "So, you are watching closely in the Ministry of War. I will go to the Ministry of Justice to see Lu Xiangsheng later. Treat him harshly."
Yao Tongshun raised his hand to respond, and then suddenly said: "By the way, my lord, there are some military affairs. I can't see it here. I went directly into Yang Shangshu's room and never came out again."
Zhang Heyi followed: "Yes, the lower officials also noticed that some came from Chahar and Liaodong."
Zhou Zheng is really different this time. Liaodong is now in charge of him. Even if it is not, Liaodong should not be able to hide anything from him.
Yang Sichang, what are you doing? What are you going to do
Zhou Zheng thought about it and didn’t understand it. He waved his hand and said, “Look at it and do the things right now. Especially the things in Liaodong, Tianjin Wei, and Shandong. Time to tell me."
Yao Tongshun and Zhang Heyi quickly raised their hands and said, "It's an adult!"
Zhou Zheng left the Ministry of War and went to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs.
The Criminal Ministry is a little far away from the Ministry of War, and it is together with Dali Temple and the Procuratorate, which is the so-called'Sansi Yamen'.
Lu Xiangsheng had just been put in, and the treatment was fairly good, with a clean and independent cell.
People from the Criminal Department avoided Zhou Zheng, and only arranged two jailers to lead Zhou Zheng into the prison.
Zhou Zheng couldn't be more familiar with the Criminal Ministry, and he was once the master of the Three Entries.
Lu Xiangsheng saw that Zhou Zheng came to see him so quickly, and said with emotion: "I used to talk about wine, but now there is nothing to entertain."
Zhou Zheng glanced behind him and saw that the jailer had left. Then he said, "Yang Shangshu is still in the palace. I don't know what happened. Please wait patiently. I will find a way."
Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said, "Don't mess around. I also saw some people yesterday. Recently, the situation has been tricky. Don't involve you."
Zhou Zheng thought about the weirdness of the Ministry of War, and it was not easy to talk to Lu Xiangsheng, and said, "I have let the Ministry of Criminal Justice take care of you. Don't worry about it at home, I will take care of it."
Lu Xiangsheng was very frank, and said: "I am not worried about this. I am only worried that I will go to jail this time, I am afraid that it will hurt many people. If you have a way, help me take care of it."
Zhou Zheng thought for a while, asked the jailer to bring his pen and ink, and said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Write the list to me."
Without hesitation, Lu Xiangsheng clearly listed the reliable list of the Tianxiong Army to Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng took the look, put it in his arms, and said, "I want to find a way to save them."
Lu Xiangsheng believed that Zhou Zheng had this strength, and said, "I will write you another letter and show them something to avoid misunderstanding."
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "Also."
Lu Xiangsheng swiped his pen, finished writing in a hurry, handed it to Zhou Zheng, sighed, and said, "I will leave it to you."
Zhou Zheng folded it into his arms and said, "Don't worry, you can come out soon."
Lu Xiangsheng smiled.
Zhou Zheng gave a few more explanations before leaving the prison of the Ministry of Justice. He came to see Lu Xiangsheng in such a hurry that he was actually risky. It would be easy to be held on by those supervisors and break into a'criminal party', which would further affect Lu Xiangsheng.
When Zhou Zheng returned to the Ministry of War, Yang Sichang also came out of the palace.
In the Ministry of War, Yang Sichang seemed to explain something: "I thought of it temporarily, and I didn't have time to discuss it with you."
Zhou Zheng looked at Yang Sichang's expression, his heart was basked, and his face calmly said, "Well, it's not a big deal. Xiong Wencan, as I know, still has the ability."
Yang Sichang looked at Zhou Zheng's expression and knew that the estrangement had already occurred. He pretended to think for a while, and said, "I have to concentrate on the Northwest affairs, and I will leave it to you for the time being."
Is this compensation? exchange
Zhou Zheng smiled inwardly and said, "Okay."
No matter what Yang Sichang is going to do, the Ministry of War is under Zhou Zheng's nose, how long can he hide it
Yang Sichang stopped talking and went straight back to the classroom.
The short honeymoon period between the two has passed.
Zhou Zheng looked at Yang Sichang's back, his eyes flickering slightly.
Yang Sichang chose to turn his face with him at this time, and seemed to be ready.
What the hell is it
Zhou Zheng thought about it. Just when he stood up and was about to go out, Yao Tongshun greeted him quickly, glanced around, and whispered in Zhou Zheng's ear: "My lord, the news from the Secretary of Political Affairs, the supervisory official Dong Qing wrote to impeach my lord Arrogant and domineering in the Ministry of War, holding authority, wanton cultivation of cronies in Liaodong, with unruly intentions."
The corner of Zhou Zheng's eyes jumped unconsciously, and immediately looked at the direction of Yang Sichang's class room, and smiled with emotion: "Our Lord Shangshu is afraid that I will block his way, so I must get rid of me in advance..." (End of this chapter)
