Facing the first assistant, Li Zhong didn't dare to be careless, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness was frightened and just fell asleep. Lord Shoufu, what's the matter?"
Zhou Yanru pretended to hesitate and said: "That's right, most of the courtiers are withered. If the official wants to appoint some people, he still needs the approval of His Royal Highness."
Li Zhong has been in the palace for many years and has been accustomed to various methods. Seeing Zhou Yanru alone came, he suddenly guessed his intentions and said: "Zheng Xibo, do you know?"
Zhou Yanru looked at Li Zhong and said unmovingly: "Old Zhou Ge has been outside Beijing for a long time, and he is not familiar with Beijing affairs. The official is the chief and auxiliary, and he will not give up. If the father-in-law has any suitable candidates, you can talk to the official."
Zhou Yanru's words are very direct, they are a cooperation and transaction.
Li Zhong suddenly sneered. This old guy wanted to pick peaches so soon, he didn't even look at it. Now the capital is Zhou Zheng's person. If Zhou Zheng wants to die, he can make someone disappear without a word!
Li Zhong looked at Zhou Yanru's uncontrollable expression of longing, his thoughts turned, and he said flatly, "Okay, I will give you the list tomorrow."
Zhou Yanru was immediately overjoyed. If he could form an alliance with Li Zhong, his position would be as stable as Mount Tai, and everything about the government would be in his hands!
Zhou Yanru suppressed his excitement, and began to talk with Li Zhong about the restoration of the court, the enthronement ceremony and other things, and then quietly mentioned some people.
Li Zhong couldn't hear it, but he smiled.
Zhou Yanru was even more happy when he saw that Li Zhong did not object, and then began to comment on Zhou Zheng. His words were more pertinent, but he downplayed his great contribution to helping Sheji this time to the'first emperor's wisdom'. And he has always called "Zhou Ge Lao" without mentioning "Zheng Xibo".
The two talked for a long time, and finally Zhou Yanru smiled and said: "I know that Li Gonggong has been in the palace since he was a child, but he always has to think about it after a hundred years. I have 500 acres of fertile land in Suzhou Mansion, and there is also a side of the Humble Administrator's Garden. Every compound is given to father-in-law."
Li Zhong curled his lips secretly, 500 mu, you are embarrassed to take it out, Zhou Zhengyun has given me more than 5,000 mu in the past few years!
Li Zhong was disdainful, but bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Thank you Yuanfu."
Seeing that Li Zhong hadn't refused, Zhou Yanru felt confident and said: "Then it is settled. Your Royal Highness, Father Lao will take care of him."
"It's a matter of our own." Li Zhong still said with a smile.
If it weren't for Zhou Yanru to be overjoyed now, he would surely find that Li Zhong's smile was not a smile.
Zhou Yanru left the palace with unprecedented excitement and excitement.
Not long after Zhou Yanru left, Zhu Cihong opened the door sleepily and looked at Li Zhong and said, "Father-in-law, what's the matter?"
Li Zhong hurriedly turned around and said, "His Royal Highness, it is Zhou Shoufu, to talk about the enthronement ceremony."
Zhu Cihong slept for a while, his spirits improved a lot, and asked, "Where is Zheng Xibo?"
Li Zhongdao: "Zheng Xibo seems to be discussing with many generals about chasing down thieves."
Zhu Cihong let out a cry, and then he didn't speak.
Li Zhong looked at Zhu Cihong, sighed in his heart, worried.
It's completely changed now. Zhou Yanru and Zhou Zheng will inevitably have a fight. Zhou Yanru can't play with Zhou Zheng at first glance. What will happen to Super in the future
Zhou Yanru left the inner court and walked towards the Daming Gate. As soon as he left the Meridian Gate, he saw Lu Xiangsheng talking to people not far ahead.
Zhou Yanru raised his head slightly, stared at Lu Xiangsheng for a moment, and walked over.
"Build a fight." Zhou Yanru exclaimed peacefully and without losing his majesty.
Lu Xiangsheng was taken aback, turned around to see Zhou Yanru, and hurriedly saluted: "I have seen Yuan Fu."
Zhou Yanru looked at Lu Xiangsheng and nodded approvingly: "This time you regained the capital, you have made a great contribution. I have already told His Royal Highness that you will be awarded the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War and the Prime Minister of the five northwestern provinces. You will lead the troops to eliminate the thief!
Lu Xiangsheng was startled again and said, "Yuanfu, Zheng Xibo has already admitted his fate at Shanhaiguan."
This time it was Zhou Yanru's turn. He wanted to say that it was illegal, but when the capital fell, Zhou Zheng was holding the edict of the first emperor, and it was understandable to do so. Arguing now, it seems very small.
Zhou Yanru quickly recovered his expression and said with a smile: "The capital fell, the first emperor was martyred to the country, Li Banghua, the minister of war is the chief criminal, you are the next minister of war, and you have the title of prince Taibao."
Lu Xiangsheng was not a fool, he gradually understood a little bit, especially the final'Prince Taibao', Zhou Zheng was also the crown prince.
Lu Xiangsheng looked at Zhou Yanru calmly and said: "Yuanfu, the next official is about to go out of Beijing to suppress bandits, and he cannot take on this role."
Zhou Yanru frowned slightly, and suddenly realized that he was too anxious, a little confused, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to ask Mr. Zhou Ge to go to the northwest to suppress bandits. After all, he succeeded once. Your Royal Highness, the court. I also count on him this time. I will entertain him in the evening and you will also come. Let’s talk about it in detail."
Lu Xiangsheng became more clear, and his expression was as usual: "Yuanfu, Jingcheng Fu is determined, there are too many affairs for the subordinates, and the subordinates cannot go there."
Zhou Yanru's eyes were slightly cold, and he immediately smiled and said, "That's what I said, then you go."
Lu Xiangsheng raised his hand neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "The official resigns."
Zhou Yanru looked at Lu Xiangsheng's back, his brows tightened, his expression ugly. Lu Xiangsheng didn't give him face so much, he really didn't know how to praise him!
Not long after Lu Xiangsheng left, Lu Xiangtong walked over and whispered: "Brother, what did Yuansuke say to you?"
Lu Xiangsheng's face was tight, and he sighed softly: "He wants to win me over."
Lu Xiangtong was a little happy, and just about to open his mouth, Lu Xiangsheng looked at him and said, "Deal with Zheng Xibo."
Lu Xiang changed his expression and quickly said: "Brother, Zheng Xibo has a great kindness with us, and he is also a great contributor to Kuangfu Sheji. We can't harm him..."
Lu Xiangsheng glanced at him, exhaled deeply, and said: "Tell all of us that you are not allowed to contact courtiers other than those who conquered Xibo. If you find it, you will send it back to your hometown."
Lu Xiangtong was satisfied with this and said, "Yeah. By the way, Zheng Xibo has been deployed. A total of 115,000 people, including Cao Bianjiao’s cavalry, except for the 20,000 soldiers led by Zheng Xibo, the rest I have almost given it to you, what kind of trust is this! Brother, if we wipe out the Northwest, Zheng Xibo said, it will be sooner or later to enter the cabinet and worship the minister in the future..."
The corner of Lu Xiangsheng's face moved, and he sighed again in his heart: I am not afraid of being harmed by the villain, I am afraid that the gentleman will be kind...
Zhou Zheng is now on the west porch and met Ma Shiying, Kou Huaiyi, Zhou Fang and others. These people were all hidden before Li Zicheng entered Beijing, and they were unscathed.
Ma Shiying was the most excited, sitting on Zhou Zheng's right hand side, and said: "This accomplishment of your lord is no less than Zhong Sugong. It must be named in history and win glory with the sun and the moon!"
'Zhong Sugong' refers to Yu Qian, who fought against the war and saved Ming from the crisis of subjugation during the Yingzong reign.
Kou Huaiyi didn't know how to flatter, but he also admired him: "My lord's accomplishment is truly unmatched."
Zhou Zheng waved his hand and stopped their flattery. Seeing that Zhou Fang had been silent, he said, "Big brother, are you okay?"
Zhou Fang experienced this, and he could be regarded as witnessing the fact that the Ming Dynasty was almost subjugated, and his mind was somewhat unstable. He said, "It's okay. I'm acting as Shuntian Fu Yin, is this all right?"
Fortunately, others say that Zhou Fang is Zhou Zheng's pro-elder brother, and Shuntian Fu Yin is such a crucial position. It is inevitable that some people say that Zhou Zheng's nepotism and selfishness will become the handle of attacking him. (End of this chapter)
