On the fourth day of regaining the capital, Zhou was outside Xizhimen, swearing to master.
He held Chongzhen's will in his left hand, and his right hand was a Shangfang sword bestowed by the new emperor.
Standing in front of him was a prime minister of five provinces, six generals, four generals, more than 20 deputy generals, and more than forty generals!
Zhou Zheng looked majestic, and said solemnly: "The trespassers do harm to the people. No way is impossible. This official is ordered to crusade. You are my future generals. Be brave and fearless, crusade against the rebellion, completely eliminate the trespassers, and restore peace to the people of the world!"
"The next official (the last general) takes the decree!" Lu Xiangsheng and the others responded loudly.
According to the procedure, Zhou Zheng had been talking about it for a long time before handing over the Shangfang sword in his hand to Lu Xiangsheng, saying: "The generals in the northwest are all controlled by the prime ministers of the five provinces. If there is any violation of the rules, cut first and then play!"
Lu Xiangsheng took it over solemnly, and said, "The minister leads the order and thank you!"
When he took Shang Fang Baojian, Zhou Zheng helped him up and said, "Jiandou, it's handed over to you!"
Lu Xiangsheng nodded his head, turned to face Cao Wenzhao, Man Gui and nearly a hundred people.
Everyone saluted, and said: "See your Prime Minister!"
Lu Xiangsheng is tall and straight, with a torch-like gaze, sweeping across the crowd and looking to the northwest.
Li Zicheng was not reconciled, and was preparing to regroup and attack the capital again.
Zhou Zheng's army of more than 100,000, with pennants spreading out, covering the sky and the sun, morale surging, and evil spirits dry!
"Go out!"
Fighting drums like thunder, Lu Xiangsheng rode a horse, drew his sword and drank.
The army of more than one hundred thousand was divided into two groups, one in Shanxi, one in Henan, and then divided into multiple groups, following the established route and rushing to their respective goals.
Zhou Zheng stood on the high platform, watching the army leave.
Chu Jin stood next to Zhou Zheng and said, "You don't need to worry, you have military intelligence, and Prime Minister Lu's ability is beyond doubt. Li Zicheng can't break the waves."
Zhou Zheng nodded, and said, "Has the army withdrawn?"
Chu Jin and Meng Hezhou had a clear division of labor. Meng Hezhou was in charge of the customs, and Chu Jin stared at the outside.
Chu Jin bowed and said, "Dorgun, Ji'erhalang withdrew two days ago, and Huang Taiji also withdrew last night. He left a message, hoping to talk with the adults."
Zhou Zheng waved his hand indifferently, watched Lu Xiangsheng and the others walk away, turned around and said, "Go back."
Liu Liuzhe accompanied Zhou Zheng and said, "Second Young Master, Cheng is the shopkeeper, and Shangguan shopkeeper has all entered Beijing."
Zhou Zheng got into the carriage and said, "Let them clean up first, and I will look for them in time."
Liu Liuzhe responded and said, "I heard that many people from all over the south of the Yangtze River are also on their way to Beijing. The scale is not small."
The capital or Ming Dynasty encountered a catastrophe, and the new emperor became the throne, which naturally attracted countless people.
Fushe has a huge influence in the south of the Yangtze River. With more than 3,000 members, it is simply another Donglin. Between waving arms, the Qinhuai River is blocked!
Zhou Zheng pulled the driving curtain and said to Liu Liuzhe who was riding a horse: "What's the situation in Yuanfu?"
I don't know if I didn't want to increase Zhou Zheng's prestige, or if I wanted to show it to Zhou Zheng, Zhou Yanru's chief assistant did not come to see Lu Xiangsheng off, and even prevented the new emperor from coming.
Liu Liuzhe looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "Second Young Master, you didn't see it, in front of Yuanfu Gate, there was a lot of traffic and people, and it was about to cross the threshold. There was a very long line..."
Zhou Zheng smiled suddenly and said, "Not surprising."
Zhou Yanru now seems to be in power, the first emperor is the first assistant, and now he is presided over a series of important affairs such as the new emperor's ascension ceremony and the funeral of the first emperor. The whole world is watching him how many official positions are involved in it!
Coupled with the fact that the new emperor is young and unable to be pro-political, no one can weigh the weight of this chief assistant.
Even Zhou Zheng, the great hero who restored the capital and saved the Daming Shrine from the desolation, could not be compared for a while, and was given a lot of light.
Liu Liuzhe patted the horse lightly, glanced around, and said in a low voice: "Second Young Master, I heard that the Hanlin Academy is arguing over the Xiandi Temple number."
The name of the temple is a final'historical positioning' for the first emperor, and it is very important, and it is also the focus of the courtiers''power struggle'. In this case, there are internal contradictions on Zhou Yanru's side.
Zhou Zheng's expression moved, and he said, "Don't worry, take a look first."
Liu Liuzhe didn't say any more. Although the court situation is now in a mess, it is also treacherous. Various forces have jumped out, wanting to occupy a favorable position and obtain the greatest benefits when the new dynasty is still pending.
When Zhou was returning to Beijing, from all over the country, I don’t know how many people were rushing to the capital in a hurry. This is a special period when the old and the new are alternated. There are too many opportunities for the special period when the imperial court is broken!
Zhou Zheng passed through the cabinet door and walked towards the Zhengxi Corridor next door.
Inside the door, the cabinet book and the small staff who were in a hurry, suddenly stopped, and the inside was quiet and terrible.
Zhou Zheng turned his head to look, everyone immediately moved again, all smiled and bowed before disappearing in a hurry.
Zhou Zheng wiped his face, looked at Liu Liuzhe beside him, and said, "Am I so scary?"
Liu Liuzhe coughed in his throat, and said, "Old Ge is handsome and handsome, rare in ancient times."
Zhou Zheng let out a laugh and stepped forward.
There was a vaguely cold snort from the cabinet.
Liu Liuche lifted his chin and followed Zhou Zheng fearlessly.
Zhou Yanru and Zhou Zhengben’s disharmonious relationship is now almost torn apart.
Zhou Zheng returned to the Zhengxi Corridor, which was divided into several rooms, including the Military Intelligence Department, the General Staff, and the Military Law Department. They performed their duties, including Zhang Heyi, who was also here, and he also brought everyone from the Ministry of War.
Zhou Zheng turned around and sat down in his temporary classroom.
Zhou Zheng’s desk was piled up with various military materials since the Qin Dynasty. Zhou is studying these military systems and preparing to reform the Ming Dynasty’s military system.
Zhou Zheng watched intently, and Zhengxi Gallery was also busy. The Northwest was now the focus of their work. No one dared to take it lightly, endangering Guozuo.
When Zhou was busy, Zhou Yanru was also worried about the enthronement ceremony and other things. There were too many involved, and the six parts that had just been set up desperately followed.
The Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites has been tentatively designated as Zhang Sizhi. The Ministry of Rites has the heaviest weight in matters such as the Enthronement Ceremony.
Etiquette is also a manifestation of power. For example, the position of the enthronement ceremony determines the person's position in the court and the future; for example, who will preside over some key places, who will show up in front of the new emperor, and who People shouldn't show up and so on.
Zhang Sizhi goes in and out of the cabinet, which in itself represents an unusual position.
The Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette is not the most powerful of the six, but its status is the highest. This is the root cause.
The level of status often represents the order of progress. The candidate for the cabinet is often the Ministry of Rites as the first!
Zhang Sizhi appeared in Zhou Yanru's class room, but he was not talking about the enthronement ceremony, but about the appointment of officials at all levels.
Zhang Sizhi handed over the list and said, "Yuanfu, this is the list of officials from the six temples and nine temples, as well as the governors and chief ambassadors of the provinces. When it comes to the five northwestern provinces, should we discuss with Zheng Xibo?"
Zhou Yanru was looking at the list and waved his hand decisively when he heard it, and said, "No, the official decided on this matter, so be it."
Zhang Sizhi knew that the relationship between Zhou Yanru and Zhou Zheng had broken, and he glanced at the wall behind him. The next door should be Zhou Zheng's classroom. (End of this chapter)
