Yang Sichang didn't look at Zhou Zheng, but was dragged away by Jin Yiwei, attracting eyes from the palace.
This elder Yang is very energetic and powerful recently, and the holy servants are rumbling, just a few days now
Zhou Zheng was not hollow, he kept staring at the gate of Qianqing Palace, constantly analyzing the countermeasures in his heart.
Chongzhen's mind is very unpredictable when such a big event has happened. It is related to the great cause of the suppression of bandits in the Northwest, the courtiers and Chongzhen, what kind of decision will they make
After a while, the cabinet ministers and Shangshu people came out one after another, looking at the erected Zhou Zheng, no one spoke, and each left straight away with expressions.
Seeing that the first auxiliary Zhang Zhifa hadn't come out, Zhou Zheng looked thoughtful. Perhaps, the palace hadn't made a decision yet
At this moment, Wang Chengen came out and looked at Zhou Zheng, with a smile on his face but not at Zhou Zheng, and said: "Zhou Shi Lang, long live master summoned him."
Zhou Zheng raised his hand and said, "I have work."
Wang Chengen looked at Zhou Zheng, as if he wanted to say something, but did not say anything, leading Zhou Zheng to the palace gate.
In the Dongnuan Pavilion, Chongzhen sits in the imperial table, and the first auxiliary Zhang Zhifa stands aside.
Zhou Zheng secretly took a sigh of relief, calmly stepped forward, raised his hand, and said: "The minister Zhou Zheng sees your Majesty."
Chongzhen didn't like Zhou Zheng very much, and he wasn't caring about him. It was not the type he liked, but if he didn't like it now, he had to pull it out.
Chongzhen's face was still very ugly, and he looked at Zhou Zheng and said in a bad tone: "You have heard about everything, what do you think should be done?"
Zhou Zheng stood still, glanced at the side, and the old monk entered the calm Zhang Zhifa, and said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, Yang Shangshu's strategy is not a problem. I will use hundreds of thousands of troops to suppress the bandits. Jianlu is a big man. The threat must be calmed down."
Zhang Zhifa opened his eyes abruptly, looking at Zhou Zheng, his muddy eyes were shocked.
Is it crazy this week? Didn’t you see that Yang Sichang was just jailed? Could it be that he is also the person of the Lord and Harmony
Zhang Zhifa frowned and looked at Chongzhen. To his surprise, Chongzhen's ugly expression eased slightly.
Chongzhen listened to Zhou Zheng's words with some comfort in his heart, a stiff smile appeared on his face, and disappeared in an instant, and he said coldly: "I am dignified, how can I make peace with barbarians! What I asked you was, the northwest's ten-faced net ', what do you think should be done?"
Zhou Zheng pretended to think for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, Chen Shilang in the northwest is also involved. The prime minister is only Xiong Wencan, and he cannot command such a large-scale suppression of bandit operations. Please release Lu Xiangsheng and restore his official duties. Wearing crimes and meritorious service, Xiong Wencan dominates the northwest, and Lu Xiangsheng dominates the southeast, continue to promote the'ten-face spreading of the net', completely eradicate the northwest migrants, and stabilize our Daming community..."
"No!"
Before Zhou Zheng finished speaking, Zhang Zhifa interrupted categorically and turned to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, Lu Xiangsheng is a treacherous villain. If he is reinstated again, what is the face of the court and what is his integrity? The minister heard Zhou Shilang's words, it seems that Still have peace talks with Jianluo? This is something that foreign ministers absolutely disagree with, please think twice!"
Zhou Zheng immediately retorted, saying: "Your Majesty, the matter of Lu Xiangsheng has not been investigated yet, and the grievance may be even greater. As for the peace talks, if the ministers go to the peace talks, dare to ask Yuanfu, will Jianlu dare to agree?"
Zhang Zhifa was about to scold him, but he couldn't tell.
Daming sent people for peace talks, anyone can, except Zhou is an exception.
It was Zhou who killed Huang Taiji's eldest son Hauge under Beijing, and killed countless prisoners in Liaodong. In Lushun, he killed Yuetuo, Azigbeile and others. Such a bloody hatred would definitely not make peace with Zhou Zheng.
Chongzhen listened to Zhou Zheng's words, and the doubts in his heart disappeared. He ignored Zhang Zhifa, and asked Zhou Zheng, "Zhou Aiqing, keep talking."
The corners of Zhang Zhifa's mouth moved. Seeing that Chongzhen ignored him, he could only frown and continue to stand on the side.
Zhou Zheng raised his hand and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the'ten-faced netting' has already begun. It is absolutely impossible to give up! The minister please continue to advance. The minister is willing to guarantee Lu Xiangsheng with his life and go to the northwest to suppress the bandits. Don't return to Beijing!"
Chongzhen looked loose, smiled and nodded, and said, "I am most at ease when Zhou Aiqing can go to the northwest. I grant Aiqing the sword to control the army in the northwest, and hope that Aiqing will kill the bandits and protect my Ming Dynasty, just like catching thieves. !"
Zhou Zheng held up his hand without moving, and said, "The minister abides by the decree!"
Zhang Zhi was hesitant to speak and then stopped, but in the end he still didn't speak.
In fact, asking Zhou Zheng to lead troops in the northwest was something that was discussed by the ministers just now. After all, Daming really couldn't find a few people who could fight well, especially commanding hundreds of thousands of troops.
Sun Chengzong is fine, but the old man vowed not to be an official. Others, each has its own difficulties, abilities, qualifications, and sufficient official positions, and only Zhou Zheng, the Minister of War You, is the only one who has enough.
Chongzhen got up, took Zhou Zheng to the side hall, rarely had a meal with Zhou Zheng, and at the same time asked about various things about the Ministry of War and the Northwest.
Zhou Zheng became more cautious and answered carefully.
Zhou Zheng knows all kinds of affairs very well and is very comfortable with it. Perhaps Chongzhen wanted him to kill the bandits. Chongzhen was very satisfied with his answer. From time to time, he praised and asked a few more questions.'Aiqing' also became'Qing'.
Zhang Zhifa was by the side, and the new head assistant who had just taken office looked like a spectator.
After eating, Zhou Zheng was left by Chongzhen for another half an hour before he left the Palace of the Qing Dynasty.
As soon as he walked out of the gate of Qianqing Palace, Zhang Zhifa caught up with him and said solemnly: "Zhou Zhengyun, I don't care what you and Yang Sichang want to do, if you dare to mess around, you can blame the officer for being polite!"
Zhou Zheng dealt with Chongzhen's very exhausted energy, but he didn't want to deal with the chief assistant anymore, so he raised his hand and said, "Yuanfu rest assured, the next official is not the person of the master and harmony."
Zhang Zhi snorted coldly and said, "It's best to be like this. If I get the handle, Yang Sichang will be your fate!"
After speaking, Zhang Zhifa flicked his sleeves and strode away.
Zhou Zheng looked at his back, exhaled for a long time, and walked out of the Palace of the Qing Dynasty.
Before he returned to the Ministry of War, the will of the Qing Palace was revealed.
Yang Sichang was imprisoned on charges of'struggling power' and'making peace with captives' and ordered the Sansi to conduct a thorough investigation. At the same time, the servants Zuo Chen Xinjia and many officials such as the Ministry of War and Honghe Temple were also involved.
Not long after Zhou Zheng sat down, the imperial edict arrived again.
Roughly promoted Zhou Zheng for the sake of Shangshu in the Ministry of War, added the crown prince Taibao, held the sword of Shangfang, restrained the Northwest army, took charge of the Northwest suppression of bandits, and so on.
It stands to reason that this is a promotion, and it should be a universal celebration. Numerous people came to curry favor, but Zhou was in the Ministry of War when he was off work, and there were no other people except the officials of the Ministry of War.
To preside over the suppression of bandits in the Northwest, in the eyes of many people, this is not a good job, but a death!
Regardless of this, Zhou Zheng had his identity and began to issue orders one after another in the name of the Ministry of War, spreading to the capital and the northwest.
The huge energy surrounding Zhou Zheng also quickly revolved, and a wave of power was gathering and coercing to the northwest. (End of this chapter)
