Following Li Hengbing's impeachment melodrama, Zhou Yanru, who had been vigorous and attacking everywhere, suddenly retracted.
Zhou Yanru no longer moves, and the capital is quiet.
In the capital city that is almost accustomed to court battles, many people are extremely uncomfortable, unaccustomed, and don't know what happened, and look around in amazement.
In the officialdom, there will never be a lack of third-party or intermediate forces. They are neither friends nor party, and they are the easiest to be attacked.
They were very uneasy, inquiring about the news on both sides, fearing that the two giants would tear their faces apart and start a war, which would hurt Chi Yu.
Zhou Zheng glanced at the invitation sent by Zhou Yanru and took care of his affairs.
He has written several manuscripts and is still writing.
The military system is a big issue. Zhou Zheng sorted out his experience and wrote them down one by one.
I don't know how long it took, Yao Tong stepped forward quietly and whispered: "My lord, the madam and the second son have already returned home."
Zhou Zheng paused, sighed lightly, and said, "Prepare the car and return to the house."
Yao Tongshun quickly responded and turned to go out.
Zhou Zheng cleaned up and went around again before leaving the palace to return to the palace.
Zhou Mansion was much more lively than before, and there were a lot of laughter and laughter in it.
Zhou Zheng walked in with a smile. In the yard, a little guy was toddler, babbling, chasing something under the protection of a group of maids.
When the crowd saw Zhou Zheng coming back, they hurriedly saluted.
When the little guy saw Zhou Zheng, his face was stunned, and he turned around and was about to run.
Zhou Zheng smiled, stepped forward quickly, picked him up, and said, "Ke'er, do you want to be father?"
This is his second son, Zhou Qingli named Deke.
"Wow… "
Who knows that the little guy cried out with a wow, his little hand pushed Zhou Zheng's face vigorously, struggling desperately.
Not far away, Shangguanqing looked up and saw the little guy crying. He walked over and reached out to take it.
The little guy didn't cry now, turned his head timidly and looked at Zhou Zheng, and quickly buried his head on Shangguanqing's shoulder.
Zhou Zheng twitched his mouth and said, "It's only a few days now, you little guy doesn't know Dad..."
Shangguanqing patted the little guy and looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "Why go back to the house so early?"
Zhou Zhengzheng sighed that he did his best to take care of him when he was a child. In a moment of sorrow that the little guy didn't recognize his father, listening to Shangguanqing's words, he still looked at the little guy and said, "I'll be back when I'm fine. Come and give me a hug."
The little guy hugged Shangguanqing tightly, but didn't let go, as if he wanted to crawl behind her.
Shangguan Qing pursed his mouth and smiled, then whispered, "Is it all right?"
Zhou Zheng's smile narrowed a little, and he forcibly snatched the little guy from her arms, and said, "After tomorrow, it will be all right. Let's go and eat."
The little guy cried loudly, struggling hard on Zhou Zheng, screaming'Niang Niang' in his mouth vaguely.
Zhou Zhengke ignored him, and entered the house with the little guy in his arms.
Until the evening, the little guy seemed to remember that Zhou Zheng had come, crawling around on Zhou Zheng, his small face was happy to become a flower.
Shangguanqing was tidying up in the house, and seeing him still teasing the child with snacks, he said, "It's too late, don't let him eat. You can see how fat Shen'er is now."
Zhou Zheng's eldest son, Xiao Deshen, was still in Tianjin Wei, and Xiao Deshou was in school with Xiao Deshou and did not return to Beijing.
Zhou Zheng hasn't seen his eldest son for a while. After thinking about it, he turned to look at Shangguan Qing and said, "Father, don't want to come back?"
Shangguan Qing hummed, and said, "Father said that she saves her child, and Shen'er has a tight academic schedule. The capital is not suitable for them, so she won't be back for the time being."
Zhou Zheng knew that this was an excuse and nodded gently.
Accompanying the little guy to make trouble for most of the night, and finally fell asleep, Zhou Zheng and his wife lay in their arms, saying that there was nothing. (Not omitted here)
The next day, Zhou Zheng was not in a hurry to go to the west porch to accompany his wife and children at home, but there were still a lot of people who came to visit.
This time, the person who came here was recommended by Zhang Heyi, the former minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Gao Hongtu of Zuo Du Yushi.
In the fifth year of Tianqi, this man was deprived of membership due to the eunuch's structure. He was rehabilitated in Chongzhen for three years, and served as the capital of the left. He was later changed to the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Gao Hongtu, less than fifty years old, of medium build, looked a little firm and stern, he followed Zhang Heyi to Zhou's home, saw Zhou Zheng sitting on a chair, smiling at him, and quickly stepped forward, saying: " The lower officials have seen Zheng Xibo."
Zhou Zheng's official position was cabinet minister, and his title was Zheng Xibo. Except for Zhou Yanru who deliberately belittled him, everyone else would call him Zheng Xibo.
Zhou Zheng took a look and smiled and said, "Sit down. There are not many people who can enter my house."
Gao Hongtu's face tightened, raised his hand nervously, and cautiously sat down on Zhou Zheng's right hand.
Zhou Zheng looked at him, waited for the next person to have tea, and said, "Qianzhu has never recommended me. You are the first one, so I have to meet."
Qianzhu, Zhang Heyi's word.
Zhang Heyi and You Rongyan sat on Zhou Zheng's left hand, with reserved smiles on their faces.
Gao Hongtu leaned on his side and said: "Thank your sir, I am not asking for an official here. The chaos in the northwest has almost harmed the country, and the ministers of the Ming Dynasty are worried, and the official is here to offer advice."
Zhou Zheng laughed secretly, what's the difference? Calmly said: "Talk about it."
Now the imperial court receives an unknown number of memorials every day, all about "Fuzheng Sheji, Zhongxing Daming".
Gao Hongtu apparently had an early draft and blurted out: "My lord, the chaos in the Northwest lies in man-made calamities. Natural disasters cannot be prevented by humans, but man-made calamities are not. There are 16 suggestions for the lower officials: First, reform the management of officials in the northwest and use people cautiously. The second is to enforce the law of protection and cruelty. The third is to display the army and divide the various regions so that they cannot be linked to each other. Fourth, to vigorously provide disaster relief so that the people have a livelihood. Fifth, to strictly eliminate bandits and chaos, and never tolerate. Sixth, migration, wars in various places, natural disasters, the number of people is drastically reduced, and the roots of civil chaos can be removed. Seventh...
Zhou Zheng listened, his eyes narrowed slightly, this Gao Hongtu really had some thoughts.
Zhang Heyi didn't have any hint, only a few words.
Gao Hong finished his eloquence and said with a serious expression: "My lord, the treasury is empty and the world is under the control. The troubled times require heavy codes. As for the personal gains and losses, I can put them aside for the time being."
If you use the cool method, it will naturally cause a backlash from the ruling and the opposition, and it will probably be difficult to end well.
Zhou Zheng picked up the tea cup and just about to drink, he suddenly said, "Why don't you go to Yuanfu, you should know that I'm just a short-term old man."
Gao Hongtu stood up, raised his hand, and said solemnly: "Zhou Yanru, the officials are very clear. One is not good enough, only knowing that he can form cliques and fight for power and gain. Second, corruption has cultivated cronies. For so many years. , The official has never seen him do anything."
This is a very sober person.
Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "You come to me today, whether you are in my sect or not, Yuan Fu will not let you go. Have you figured it out clearly?"
Gao Hongtu raised his hand with a grim expression, and said: "The official position is not for the official position. If Zhou Yanru thinks that I am not used to it, then there is no way to subordinate the official." (End of this chapter)
