Views:

Li Hengbing's answer satisfies Zhou Zheng, and Zhou Shuo gives a few sentences and lets him go.

Sun Chuanting looked at Li Hengbing's back, and said, "My lord, it's not that I said bad things about my colleagues. I still can't see through this Li Hengbing."

Zhou Zheng took a look and then said, "I have discussed with Yuan Fu and elected two teachers for the emperor. They will have regular classes every ten days, one for you and one for Liu Zongzhou. You will enter the palace next year."

Sun Chuanting was also a scholar, so there is no doubt about his cultural accomplishment, although he is not as good as Liu Zongzhou, he is more than enough to teach a child.

Sun Chuanting just hesitated and said: "Why didn't your lord take it? If your majesty subtly agrees with our reform, you may save a lot of trouble in the future, and you will be considered a successor."

Zhou Zheng was completely disappointed with Zhu Cihong, and he would not put the future of the reform on him. He pondered for a while, and said: "In the article about the emperor in the Law of the Ming Dynasty, add this sentence: The emperor is an important symbol of the unity of the Ming Dynasty and the centripetal force. , Has a lofty status, is an example of the people, and is hereditary."

Sun Chuanting waited for a while before he said in a shocked tone: "Is it just that?"

Zhou Zheng naturally wanted to do more, and Sun Chuanting felt that it was too much!

"Today's Daming Law must be general and broad, and it will be refined in the future,"

Zhou Zheng calmly said: "You have prepared the detailed rules, brewed in the six books, and paid attention to the response of the people. You must reach a consensus as much as possible. If necessary, let Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi and others engage in an open debate with Erzhang. Arguing for a few days."

Sun Chuanting understood, and said with a smile: "Okay, the next official will make arrangements."

Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "You are in the staff department. Important things must be expedited, especially in terms of talents. You must pay attention to it."

Sun Chuanting nodded, this is their most important right now.

Seeing that the stall is about to be rolled out, how can a reliable manpower do it without the strength

Zhou Zheng and Sun Chuanting talked for a full hour before leaving Zhou Mansion.

When Zhou Zheng returned to the room, Shangguanqing had put the two children to sleep, lying in their arms, reading quietly.

When Zhou Zheng came in, she just turned her head and glanced and continued to read.

Zhou Zheng looked at Shangguanqing like this, as if thinking about ten years ago, his eyes could not help but shine, and he strode over.

The Ming court had a dispute over the'adverse case', and this dispute has evolved into a struggle between the'two weeks'.

Representatives of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, and Qian Qianyi, the presiding judge, had a huge disagreement with the Ministry of Criminal Affairs about the boundary of the'adverse case'.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple adhere to the principle of "rebellion is unforgivable," insisting on not letting go of one, and wantonly punishing people in order to alert the world.

Qian Qianyi and Zhang Sizhi demanded'forgiveness', and hoped that these cases will be settled as soon as possible, and the yuan will be changed next year. These cases will be turned over and will not be mentioned again.

Qian Qianyi and Zhang Sizhi wanted Zhou Yanru to talk with Zhou Zheng in person. This was so simple and neat that Zhou Zheng played Tai Chi and pushed the matter down.

Qian Qianyi and Zhang Sizhi had to talk to Ma Shiying and Kou Huaiyi. This is a gibbering. Both sides have gone on a case-by-case basis. Discuss people who want to be arrested, potentially arrested, or who might be arrested. Draw up a list.

In such a stalemate, the imperial court had a rare and peaceful appearance.

Almost at the same time, Lu Xiangsheng, as the prime minister of the Northwest Suppression Bandit, ordered the Northwest Army, with a total of nearly 300,000, to put on a posture of a decisive battle with Li Zicheng at the border of Sichuan and Shaanxi.

Cao Wenzhao, Man Gui, Zhao Ratejiao, Yang Guozhu and others came from Xi'an. More than 100,000 troops were deployed on the main roads of the fortresses like huge fans.

Qin Liangyu brought 20,000 Sichuan troops and Cao Bianjiao's 10,000 cavalry soldiers out of the Jiange, blocking Li Zicheng's way into Sichuan from the north.

Zuo Liangyu and Liu Liuzhe led an army of nearly 40,000, marching west from Xiangyang, blocking Li Zicheng's way to Dongtao.

This time the official army dispatched heavy troops and unified military orders. All routes were good soldiers and strong generals, with sufficient food and grass. It can be said that this is the most powerful military force of Ming Dynasty!

Lu Xiangsheng had been preparing for more than a month, and what he wanted was a battle to set the stage, and he would not give Li Zicheng any chance to make a comeback!

In Lu Xiangsheng's big tent, Cao Wenzhao, Man Gui, Zhao Lijiao and others are all present, discussing the next war.

The officer of the Military Intelligence Department glanced at a few people, opened the thick text in his hand, and said: "Prime Minister, all soldiers, judging from the intelligence obtained from the Military Intelligence Department, Li Zicheng has a total of 100,000 troops in each department, plus the people who are encumbered. Between 200,000 and 300,000, plus Wu Sangui, Tang Tong and other rebels, and other insurgents, the total may be about 350,000, stretching from Xiaoliangshan to Jishuihe for dozens of miles... "

Li Zicheng's army of one million has been broken up by the official army, and there is no one in ten.

Lu Xiangsheng and the others looked at the huge sand table in front of them with solemn expressions, even if Li Zicheng was a defeated general, they did not dare to be careless.

Cao Wenzhao examined it for a long while and said: "Premier, the final general thinks that it is better to disintegrate one by one. There may be accidents in launching all the suppressions."

If the battle line is too long, there will always be flaws. If Li Zicheng makes a desperate breakthrough, breaks through their defense line and rushes into Shaanxi again, then their great merits will have to be a great offense.

Zhao Li taught: "Snake and fight seven inches, I think you will directly attack Li Zicheng's camp, as long as this is solved, other places will definitely fall apart, and the effort will be doubled."

Yang Guozhu's marching method is the most calm or conservative. He stared at the sand table and said: "I'm afraid Li Zicheng may not be able to fight decisively. I am worried that he is looking for flaws to escape."

"Never let Li Zicheng escape!"

Lu Xiangsheng said solemnly: "Zheng Xibo made a military order for us in the imperial court to completely resolve the Northwest disaster before the end of the year. Otherwise, let's not think about the merits and choose the cemetery first."

The crowd responded with awe-inspiring expressions.

Just as Lu Xiangsheng wanted to say more, Lu Xiangtong hurried in, glanced at the others, and whispered in Lu Xiangsheng's ear.

Lu Xiangsheng frowned, and then said lightly: "You talk about it, and I will come as soon as I go."

Cao Wenzhao, Zhao Lijiao, Man Gui and others looked at each other and did not speak.

They all knew who Lu Xiangsheng was going to meet and who he was.

Lu Xiangsheng came to the outside of the big account, and into a small account, there was a middle-aged person waiting for him.

The middle-aged brain was full of fat intestines and his face was greasy. When he saw Lu Xiangsheng come in, he looked anxious and said, "Prime Minister Lu, have you figured it out clearly?"

Lu Xiangsheng looked plain and said, "Do you know my relationship with Zheng Xibo?"

The middle-aged man was dissatisfied, and said: "Didn't I tell you? It was not Zhou Zhengbao that you were originally protected, but the first emperor deliberately let you go. Zhou Zheng was just pushing the boat along the river. Why remember his favor?"

Lu Xiangsheng did not refute, saying: "The thief entered Beijing, the first emperor was persecuted, and Xibo led the army to eliminate the thieves, and recovered the capital. I was ordered to be the prime minister of the Northwest and entrusted more than 200,000 troops in my hands. You know how much trust this is. How can I betray him?"

"What trust? Take a closer look!"

The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said, "Except for your 10,000 Heavenly Heroes, Cao Wenzhao, Man Gui, Zhao Liaojiao, Yang Guozhu, etc., which one is not Zhou Zheng's person? If he believes in you, why should he send so many? Are people coming to watch? Obviously they are guarding you!

Lu Xiangsheng's expression has always been plain, without joy or sorrow, and said: "Do you know that what you want me to do, lightly speaking, is related to the society, and the bones of the first emperor are not cold. If it is serious, it is a felony through the ages and will be stinking for thousands of years."

The middle-aged man looked bored and said, "You are the Premier of the Northwest, holding hundreds of thousands of troops in your hand, just a small defeat, so that Zhou Zhengyun broke his trust in the court and failed to complete the military order. At that time, you will be the Minister of War, and you will be honored in the future. But the day is just around the corner!"

Lu Xiangsheng looked at him and said, "You are the great eunuch next to Emperor Xian, and you don’t know the army formation. I will explain it to you. My army of more than 200,000 yuan is the most elite army of Ming Dynasty. It is the last of all the army. The army. If Li Zicheng escapes from me and we are accused, then Li Zicheng can rise again for the third time, sweep the northwest, and conquer the capital again. At that time, there was no second conquest of Xibo, Liaodong, and Shandong. Strength..."

The middle-aged man didn't listen at all, and said angrily before Lu Xiangsheng finished speaking, "Didn't I tell you? Let you sing for a little defeat, and wait for Zhou Zheng to be accused of crimes and go to jail. Can you defeat Li Zicheng again? "

Lu Xiangsheng still had that expression, and said, "Li Zicheng has hundreds of thousands of troops, and the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is not in my hands. What you want may cause the Northwest to erode again and threaten the community. Does the people behind you really know the severity? ?"

The middle-aged man became more irritated on his face and said coldly: "You know who I am, and you should guess the person behind me. If you are obsessed, you can't afford the consequences in the future!"

Lu Xiangsheng's expression seemed to be frozen, and he said, "It is because of reason and reason. I have no reason to agree to you. If it is liquidated one day in the future, I hope you will let Zheng Xibo go."

The middle-aged man's face was very ugly, and he said gloomyly: "Okay! Remember what you said today, today's voice, and tomorrow's fruit!"

The last words of the middle-aged man screamed.

Lu Xiangsheng was still expressionless, saying: "Here, there is a crisis of war. This is not suitable for the father-in-law, so send someone to escort him back to Beijing."

The middle-aged man's eyes changed suddenly, and he said coldly: "You want to catch me back?"

Lu Xiangsheng ignored him and turned out of the tent.

The middle-aged man yelled angrily: "Even if you hand me over to Zhou Zhengyun, he can't do anything to me, Lu Xiangsheng, you still have a chance, as long as you think clearly, I will guarantee you a good future, Lu Jiafuze is awesome!"

Lu Xiangsheng ignored it at all and strode towards his big account.

Lu Xiang watched at the same time, facing a few soldiers, and said: "You take a group of people around the clock and send them to Jinyiwei."

"Yes!" The little flag responded, and the eunuch was immediately shut up and taken away in a hurry.

When Lu Xiangsheng returned to the big tent, Cao Wenzhao's eyes were all on his face.

Lu Xiangsheng took a deep breath, walked to the sand table, and said: "The big snake must take care of the head and tail. We divide them into three sections, cut and surround them, eat them one by one, and don't let them go!"

Everyone's eyes brightened, this is indeed a good tactic, they can do it, and the effect is best!

Although a group of people cheered up this tactic, they didn't speak and still looked at Lu Xiangsheng.

They knew about the arrival of the eunuch, and they had contacted them. Their relationship with Zhou Zheng was extraordinary, and everything was damaged. There was no reason to agree, and they couldn't do it either.

But Lu Xiangsheng is different. He is the Premier of the Northwest. He can accomplish that with a little hand and foot in the arrangement, and they can't see it beforehand.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at their expressions and guessed their thoughts, and said lightly: "Yu Li, I am a subordinate of Zheng Xibo and the Prime Minister of Northwest Daming. I definitely won't give the thief a chance. Yu Qing, Zheng Xibo and I, Lu There is great kindness in my family, I will not avenge my gratitude. For me, I, Lu Xiangsheng, will not do anything like this!"

Everyone stared at his expression, and it took a long time before they quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Lu Xiangsheng really wants to do so much, they don't have much choice. Perhaps, they can only commit the following crimes, imprison Lu Xiangsheng, suspend the enlistment and suppression, and wait for Zhou Zheng's order.

If you really want to do that, the victory or defeat is unpredictable, unimaginable!

Seeing everyone's expressions relaxed, Lu Xiangsheng exhaled inexplicably, and then said: "Let's discuss the tactics, and then the flying pigeon will pass the book to Qin Liangyu, Zuo Liangyu and others. Five days later, start the action!"

"The final commander!" In the big tent, all the generals, kneeling on one knee, responded in a deep voice.

They all know that this will be the last battle! (End of this chapter)
