Zhou Zheng was too lazy to say this to Zhang Guowei, and said with a smile: "If you have anything, just write to me. You can also ask me about the direction of the imperial court."
Zhang Guowei understood the meaning inside and stood up and said, "My lord, don't worry, you will surely live up to your expectations."
Zhou Zheng was smiling.
Zhang Guowei wisely raised his hand to resign and turned to leave.
Sun Chuanting then came in and said, "My lord, don't you like this Shi Lang?"
Zhou Zheng shook his head and said nonchalantly, "How is the matter with Xiong Wencan?"
Sun Chuanting said: "Like Hong Chengchou, he cut his home."
For an official, delisting should be the most serious treatment besides punishment.
If you lose your official status, you will never be able to become an official again, which is tantamount to'never use it.'
Hong Chengchou killed too many people, he was lawless, and the court couldn't tolerate it. Xiong Wencan, probably because of political needs, because the imperial court no longer needs the prime ministers of the five provinces.
Zhou Zheng felt sorry for Xiong Wencan. This man was indeed a talent. Thinking about it, he suddenly looked at Sun Chuanting and smiled: "I'm almost done except, do you think, when will it be my turn?"
Sun Chuanting heard these words, but did not smile, and said: "My lord, now, you want to take a step back and protect yourself, but you can't do it."
Zhou Zheng moved his brows slightly, nodded, and said with emotion: "I cannot retreat in my position."
Sun Chuanting glanced outside and said, "My lord, Liaodong, Tianjin Wei, Shandong, this place, you can't let go, and you can't leave."
Zhou Zheng glanced at him, got up and said, "I will write a letter later to bring my family to Tianjin."
The worry in Sun Chuanting's heart disappeared, and then he said: "My lord, you said before that the Northwest will be chaotic?"
Zhou Zheng walked a few steps, stood at the door, looked to the northwest, and said: "The imperial court has emptied the treasury, and the roots of the northwest have not been solved. What I did was just put a lid on the boiling cauldron. Soon, this The lid will be lifted."
Zhou Zheng didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was very clear.
At that time, the water was all over the world and it was scorching hot, and the court was no longer able to clean it up.
Standing behind Zhou Zheng, Sun Chuanting also looked to the northwest, thinking in his heart, when this lid was pushed open.
…
Zhou was busy with various things in Liaodong, from Ningyuan to Tianjin Wei, then to Shandong Denglai, and then from Weihaiwei to Lushun, all the way down, and only returned to Tianjin Wei at the end of December.
At this time, after repeated persuasion from the two brothers Zhou Zheng, Zhou Qingli finally agreed to go to Tianjin Wei to celebrate the New Year.
Zhou Zheng's residence is in Ningyuan, Zhou Fang is the Shandong Senator in Jinan Prefecture, and Zhou Qingli is in the capital. The nearest place is Tianjin Wei.
Zhou Zheng had long let Liu Liuzhe buy a house in Tianjin Wei, and the family moved in. It coincided with the New Year, so he was naturally very happy. .
"Fu Bo, let people clean the garden, plant something festive, and change the water in the rockery..."
"Hey, this lantern is hanging crookedly, yes yes, readjust it..."
"What's the matter with you, I don't know if this couplet is reversed..."
Zhou Ding walked around the yard, leading people to reorganize the yard.
Xiao Deshou, Xiao Jingyuan, Xiao Deshou plus Liu Liuzhe's children, Ding Qi's children, etc., are about the same age, and the yard is full of shouts.
These little guys, nine years old and five years old, can no longer control them.
Shangguanqing took the cotton-padded coat, and finally caught Xiao Deshao putting it on him, and in the blink of an eye he was soaked, and there was no figure.
Zhou Fang had just arrived in Tianjin Wei. Before his courtyard was warm, he said that he was going to Tianjin Wei, but he didn't see him back for a long time.
Zhou Qingli was standing under the eaves, her hands behind her back, and she was smiling as she watched the children roaring in the snow with joy and laughter.
Uncle Fu came over from outside and said with a smile: "Master, isn't this yard nice?"
Zhou Qingli looked at Snowflake and said, "Well, a few little guys have grown up."
Uncle Fu stood behind Zhou Qingli, looked at the children, and said, "No, in a blink of an eye, the young master and the second young master are already in their 30s."
Seeing that Xiao Deshen was about to fall, Zhou Qingli rushed over and shouted, "Be careful."
The little guy fell quickly, got up again, laughed and ran away.
Zhou Qingli didn't catch up, stopped, stood in the snow watching a few children playing and making trouble, and said with emotion: "I remember, Hengping and Zhengyun were much more honest when they were young."
Uncle Fu followed and said, "To be honest, that's also the second young master."
Zhou Qingli said, "Where did Zhengyun go?"
Fu Bo said: "I heard that Li Shangshu came to Tianjin Wei personally, and was going to borrow money from the second young master."
Zhou Qingli frowned when she heard this, and then shook her head.
What does it look like for a court to live by borrowing money
Seeing Zhou Qingli shook his head, Uncle Fu said uneasy: "Master, I heard Liuzhe said that the second young master has successively loaned more than two million taels to the court."
Zhou Qingli sighed and said, "This kid Zhengyun has stronger feelings for Daming than me. If it weren't for some scruples, I'm afraid I would borrow more."
Fubo nodded, glanced at the direction of the door, walked one step further, and whispered: "Master, I think if this continues like this, I am afraid that something big will happen. The second young master is already the governor of Ji Liao, and will have more involvement with the court. Caused a catastrophe."
Zhou Qingli didn't know, her dark face wrinkled like a knife with her hands behind her back, just like the worries in his heart.
After a long silence, he said: "Zhengyun has a sense of measure."
Looking at Zhou Qingli's profile, Uncle Fu hesitated and said in a low voice: "Master, I think the second young master is doing something else."
Forber's hint is already very obvious. He followed Zhou Qingli for decades, and he was the one who saw Zhou Zheng enter an official position and became a second-tier member all the way. Many things about Zhou Zheng can be concealed from outsiders, but they can't be concealed from him. Under the clues, he found many clues.
Zhou Qingli stared at several children with her hands behind her back. Seeing that they were about to fall, she had to rush over and hold her several times.
After another long time, Zhou Qingli said, "I can't help but can't control so much."
Uncle Fu understood what Zhou Qingli meant. He looked at the children running in the field and said with a smile: "Master, you said, Liuzhe has been thin and weak since he was a child, so Biqing is also a skeleton, so why did he give birth to a little fat man? come out?"
Liu Liuche's child is the same age as Zhou Zheng's child, but he is a lap fatter than Xiao Deshen.
Zhou Qingli looked at the little fat dun, and said with a smile: "I know that this little guy can eat since he was a child. Every time he comes to the mansion, he goes to the kitchen first and specializes in meat. Biqing has been embarrassed to send it several times Silver..."
Fubo suddenly laughed as he listened.
Zhou Qingli also laughed loudly.
When Zhou Zheng and Zhou Fang came back, it was already very late. A large family gathered at the dinner table, the food was steaming, and the sound was overwhelming.
Xiao Dexiao shouted Drumsticks in his mouth and asked Zhou Zheng: "Second Uncle, shall we stop leaving in Tianjin in the future..."
On the other side, his father Zhou Fang looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "Second brother, there are so many talents in Tianjin, you can lend me some. There are too many things in Shandong and too much manpower is needed..."
On the other side, Zhou Qingli was knocking on the table and said: "Don't say anything, eat..." (End of this chapter)
