Zhou Zheng’s words were quickly spread among Zhou Zheng’s family. Many people who were confused and suffering in their hearts were suddenly relieved, suddenly enlightened, and more proactive in doing things. Many people even concise Zhou Zheng’s words with calligraphy hanging on them. In the center, always alert.
The word "punk party" has been full of derogatory meanings since the beginning, and the dynasties have been endless, until the Ming Dynasty, it was unprecedentedly fierce.
Since Jiajing, the party struggles have become more and more fierce. In the Wanli period, especially after the “state-based struggle”, the civil official group has never been stronger than ever. It has been able to fight against the monarch, and it can control the world's major events in large and small matters. At this point, the unrivaled Donglin Party was gradually defeated by the Eunuch Party, and the Eunuch Party went all over the world, and a'nine thousand nine hundred years old' emerged!
After the Chongzhen dynasty, the party struggle became chaotic, and there were many hills, you vie for me, and internal friction pushed Daming into a bottomless abyss!
People of insight in the world all know that party disputes are harmful to the country and will perish the country, either struggling and being suppressed, or resigning in anger and resigning.
Even though Zhou Zheng went all the way and worked hard to do things alone, the traces of his "friendship" became more and more obvious. Not only the outsiders, but the insiders were also worried and confused.
They want to do things, want to save Daming from water and fire, but they are deeply jealous of the word'criminal' and are extremely sensitive.
Today, I am using the words'like-minded' to summarize their relationship, which naturally makes those who are confused feel happy, their minds are smooth, and there is no problem.
This is one part, and the other part, they don't care. They don't care about cronies or anything.
Zhou Zheng sorted out the internal contradictions, turned around and went outside the west gate.
Lu Xiangsheng came to Beijing today.
The two walked side by side on the wall, talking about the Northwest.
Lu Xiangsheng said: "The lower officials have specifically arranged them, layered on top of each other like dense nets, to ensure the stability of the northwest."
Zhou Zheng nodded and said: "The Northwest has a major heart disease in the court. This time, you have made great contributions. Yuan Fu has told me more than once that he wants to reward you."
Lu Xiangsheng bowed unconsciously, and said, "These are all well-planned by Zheng Xibo. The subordinates are only executing, and dare not steal the merits."
Zhou Zheng looked back at him and said with a smile: "You didn't talk to me like this before? Why did you hear something? So cautious? Or is it afraid that I will kill the donkey and take credit for you?"
Lu Xiangsheng's expression remained unchanged, and said, "According to the facts, Zheng Xibo must not think about it."
Zhou Zheng clearly felt the alienation of Lu Xiangsheng. This alienation is not a renunciation, nor is it a wise protection of one's life, it is more like an expression of'being good for you'.
Zhou Zheng looked at Lu Xiangsheng for a while, and said, "It's fine. You will take over as Shangshu of the Ministry of War for the time being, and you will be transferred to Governor Jiliao in the next few years."
Lu Xiangsheng raised his hand and said, "Xie Zheng Xibo."
Zhou Zhengben also wanted to have a good chat with Lu Xiangsheng, and he sighed softly. He had already experienced the so-called high altitude.
After walking a few steps, Zhou Zheng said: "When you arrive at the Ministry of War, you, Yang Sichang, and Zhang Heyi will study carefully and deploy next year's military reform. You also know the relationship between me and Yang Sichang. Give me a look so that he won't dig a hole for me."
Lu Xiangsheng followed Zhou Zheng's side, slowed a half step, and said, "Yes."
Zhou Zheng discarded the original draft in his mind and said bluntly: "You can ignore the things in Beijing. After arriving in Liaodong, plan carefully. What I did before was too rough, but now I have to be more refined. In addition, we are negotiating with Jianlu , They should shrink back, you have to gradually advance and stabilize Liaodong, I need two to three years..."
The relationship between Lu Xiangsheng and Zhou Zheng is relatively close, and he can also guess Zhou Zhengxian’s thoughts from the inside out, saying: “It has been decades since the climate has been built. It really can’t be determined hastily. After two to three years, the lower officials feel a little optimistic. ."
Zhou Zheng snorted and said: "You are still quite sober. I will give you money, food, and soldiers first. Within three years, I must create elite troops for me. In the future, you will be a striker in the Northern Expedition!"
Lu Xiangsheng no longer had the estrangement he had before, clasped his fists in a deep color, and said, "The officials take orders!"
Zhou Zheng nodded, took a few steps, and said, "Wu Sangui and others, what do you think?"
Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while and said: "Wu Sangui and others escaped, it is the responsibility of the subordinates. They were blocked in Yunnan and could not go northward. They have already retreated to the Burma area. Before they were dismissed and entered Beijing, they had ordered all generals to speed up the encirclement and suppression and must be eradicated. !"
Li Zicheng was defeated. Although Wu Sangui and other rebels were not a concern, they were still a thorn in the heart of the Ming court, and it would be uncomfortable not to pull them out.
Zhou Zheng paced and said, "After you go back, as a private person, write a letter to the generals and generals in Yunnan, ordering them to release the water. If possible, let them stand on their feet in Burma, secretly. Give some support."
Daming hadn't expanded for more than a hundred years. Lu Xiangsheng was startled at first, then thoughtfully, he said, "Xiaguan understands."
Zhou Zheng stopped mentioning this, and the topic turned to Liaodong again. The two walked on the city wall for a long time.
In the evening, Zhou was entertaining many people in the mansion and said a lot of things.
The new year is getting closer, and there are too many things to prepare, plan, and set the tone.
Zhou Zheng is also running-in internally, unifying the pace, and determining the starting steps for next year.
Zhou Zheng stayed busy here until dawn. Just as soon as these people were sent away, Liu Liuzhe hurried over and said: "Second Young Master, something has happened. Liu Zongzhou was on a hunger strike at the Ministry of Justice,'Er Zhang' and Fushe's activities in Manjing, Hundreds of people even outside the cabinet compound asked to enter the palace and meet the emperor in person..."
Yao Tongshun arrived shortly afterwards and said, "My lord, the cabinet compound is a little uneasy, and there are many voices."
In the cabinet compound, not only Zhou Zheng’s people, Zhou Yanru’s people, but also third-party forces such as Li Banghua, Yang Sichang, Tian Zhenshu, etc., these people are increasing, and they are completely on the side of Zhou Zheng, even pretending to be deaf and dumb. It is obviously impossible to stay silent.
Zhou Zheng stood at the door, rubbed his face, and looked at the white belly spit out by Dongfang.
Liu Liuzhe said, "Second Young Master, you can't sit back and watch this. These people do everything. If something happens... it's awesome."
Zhou Zheng let out a sigh of relief and said: "Liu Zhe, you go to the palace and see the emperor, ask him to come forward to reprimand the officials, and ask the whole world to support the reform with one heart, and to make the Ming Dynasty stronger. If he refuses, he will make a decree and issue a residence. Report and announce the world. First, condemn those who are rebellious and sympathize with those who are rebellious, and plead for them and others. Second, reiterate the importance of the reform. Any behavior that opposes the reform, obstructs the reform, attacks, or frames courtiers should not be rejected. Tolerate, tolerate, and order the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the staff, and immediately start the investigation in Beijing!"
Liu Liuzhe was startled and said, "Beijing Cha?"
Zhou Zheng said that in the first two items, the emperor made a decree that could block the world's leisurely mouth. No one would oppose the emperor, especially when the emperor still occupies the commanding heights of truth.
It was the "Beijing Cha" that shocked Liu Liuzhe.
Jingchao, once every three years, once every six years, or even once every ten years, is a joint examination of officials from the two capitals and the whole world by the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
At the beginning, Zhao Nanxing was the Yushi Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Gao Panlong was the official secretary. The two teamed up to add the word'impulsive' to the evaluation comments of more than 400 officials, large and small, and then denounced it as an'evil party'. , The collective expulsion from the court hall has long been the grand occasion of the Donglin Party's Zhengying Dynasty.
This shows how terrifying this'Jingcha' is.
"I want to give an examination question to the officials of the world to distinguish between right and wrong!"
Zhou Zheng held his hands behind his back, looking at the sun that was gradually revealing red light, and whispered to himself. (End of this chapter)
