As Zhou Zheng made more and more moves in his line, the pressure on all parties increased.
Yang Sichang, Gao Hongtu, and even Sun Chuanting went out of Beijing before the New Year's Eve. Many people felt that the mountains and rain were about to come and the wind was overwhelming.
The trial of the three divisions has never been interrupted, and the various offenders have been questioned. The execution of Caishikou in the east of the city has been unbroken, and people are executed every day.
Sansiyamen, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang's wanton investigations, punishing, ransacking homes, and arresting people are in full swing, spreading to the entire Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, the governors of the Thirteen Dao and the Governor went out to take office one after another, and the generals of the Thirteen Dao led troops to station, steadily suppressing the uneasiness and panic in the place.
After the middle of the month, Zhou Zheng personally went out of Beijing and sent Lu Xiangsheng to Liaodong for his post.
Zhongcui Palace.
Zhu Cihong sat on the steps blankly and looked out of the palace quietly.
A little eunuch behind him whispered, "Long live Lord, according to Sansi's schedule, today, Tai Kang Bo and Jia Ding Bo will be executed."
Zhu Cihong's eyes twitched, silently.
He knew very well in his heart that the reason why his relationship with Zhou Zheng deteriorated sharply, and even the relative life and death, was entirely the idea of Jiading Bo Zhou Kui. They wanted to seize military power from Zhou Zheng, and they also wanted to give Zhou Zheng to death.
But the result surprised them very much. Zhou Zheng is not the civilian and military generals of the past. Zhou Zheng will resist and even bring a glass of poisoned wine to Zhu Cihong's mouth!
The entire army was wiped out in the confrontation between the royalists and the power officials!
The little eunuch looked at Zhu Cihong's back and pursed his lips, not daring to speak any more.
Zhu Cihong didn't speak either. Someone told him that he wanted him to read more books and read "The Record of Shenzong". He saw a lot of experience.
Cabinet compound.
Zhou Yanru has been under great pressure recently, and Zhou Zheng's fangs are constantly leaking, and the backlash between the ruling and the opposition will gather at him, causing him a headache.
At this moment, Zhang Sizhi stood in front of him and handed over a text, saying: "My lord, this is a person arrested by Sansi recently. There are five or more people, more than sixty people, eight or more than three hundred people, and every time. Moments are increasing."
Zhou Yanru took it, glanced, and then glanced at Li Rixuan.
Li Rixuan raised his hand and said: "Sun Chuanting has re-developed a set of assessment methods in the staff department, and is still re-dividing the powers and responsibilities of local government offices. Among them, part of the powers of the police department will be merged into the Dali Temple, and the Dali Temple will be vertically managed. It belongs to the place again."
Zhou Yanru looked at Li Juesi again.
Li Juesi said: "There is a'ritual system group' on the side of Zheng Xibo, all of which are radicals of Wang Xue, Gu Yanwu and others. They have to delete and revise the ritual laws, involving all aspects and touching the country, so they can’t ignore it. "
Seeing that Zhou Zheng was really moving there, Zhou Yanru's line could no longer sit still.
After reading it, Zhou Yanru put it aside, looking thoughtful, for a long time, and said: "I am the chief minister of the cabinet, without my big seal, these are not counted, there are opportunities, no need to worry."
Zhang Sizhi and others have actually seen that Zhou Yanru has repeatedly bowed his head to Zhou Zheng for the sake of power. This time, is it necessary to make concessions again
At the same time, Tian Zhenshu was sitting in Qian Qianyi's classroom, speaking solemnly.
Qian Qianyi smiled, but he was struggling bitterly in his heart.
Most of these rebellions came from Jiangnan. Qian Qianyi, as a veteran, had a close relationship with many of them, and in the early rescue, he revealed too many flaws. Now let alone save people, he only asks for Zhou Zheng's measure. 'Yes, don't involve him.
Tian Zhenshu didn't seem to know this, and said bitterly: "My lord, adversarial cases are constantly expanding, and the officials are worried that they will be innocent. They also ask Mr. Qian to restrain them. Don't wrong the good people..."
In any case, Qian Qianyi is also the presiding judge of the adversarial case, so please find him first.
Qian Qianyi forced a smile and said: "Tian Shilang rest assured that the court will not involve the innocent, nor will it expand indefinitely. This is the collective decision of the cabinet. These cases should be concluded before the end of the year."
Tian Zhenshu's eyes lit up and said, "Old Ge, this is the collective will of the cabinet? What about Zheng Xibo?"
Qian Qianyi pretended to be displeased, saying: "Zheng Xibo is also a cabinet minister, and he has to obey the cabinet's decision. Don't talk nonsense."
Tian Zhen was aware of it at the moment, this should be Zhou Zheng's attitude, otherwise Qian Qianyi didn't dare to openly throw it out.
Tian Zhenshu was agitated and stood up and said, "Thank your lord!"
Qian Qianyi felt more comfortable, and said with a smile: "Tell others, don't mess around, concentrate on doing your own thing, as long as you don't have any guilt."
Tian Zhenshu hurriedly said: "Yes, the subordinates must remember."
Tian Zhen came out of Qian Qianyi's room, and when he looked up, he saw a familiar figure entering Li Banghua's room-Huang Binde of Taipu Temple Banner.
This person is the in-law of the former cabinet chief assistant Ye Xianggao, and he is also outside of the'two weeks'.
Tian Zhenshu took a look and walked outside thoughtfully.
Huang Binde entered Li Banghua’s class room. After seeing the courtesy, he felt bitter and said: "Old Li Ge, now Sansi, Jinyiwei, East Factory is rampant, not to mention the two capitals of the North and the South, but the whole is panicked, and hundreds of officials in the world are panicked. Worry, carelessness, sleepless night, tossing and turning..."
Li Banghua was promoted and secretly surrendered. He entered the cabinet from the Minister of War with real power and became a cabinet minister. His power was greatly reduced. Now he is even more afraid of having a false title and no real power.
He looked hard, and looked at Huang Binde and said coldly: "You made the list to me. It's all those people who didn't want to do anything. I will give them to them, so that they can go home with peace of mind, so that they can't sleep at night and turn to toss and turn!"
Huang Binde was startled. He didn't expect Li Banghua to react like this. He muttered in his heart: Could it be that Li Banghua also fell to Zhou Zhengyun
Huang Binde was reprimanded and didn't dare to say more, so he resigned and left.
There is a mixture of fish and dragons in Beijing, where dragons and snakes rise together, and there is a lot of rumors.
Zhou Zheng first sent Lu Xiangsheng to Shanhaiguan. He met Fang Yizao and other civil servants and generals in Liaodong. He gave a good order to Lu Xiangsheng on the platform. After two days, he diverted to Tianjin Wei.
This is Zhou Zheng's base camp, so naturally we can't slack off.
He chatted with many officials of Tianjin Wei and promised to bring 20 people into Beijing on the spot, which made the huge Tianjin Wei very excited.
In the evening, Zhou was in the Zhou Mansion of Tianjin Wei, in the room with his father Zhou, making tea, eating snacks, and talking about things inside and outside Beijing.
Zhou Qingli listened a lot and talked less, until dawn, the conversation between the two of them was taken away.
Zhou Qingli let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "After going back, pay attention to your health. The children are all older, so worry about it."
Seeing that Zhou Qingli was approaching, Zhou Zheng refused to say a few words about government affairs. He sighed in his heart and stopped persuading Zhou Qingli to return to Beijing. write a letter."
Zhou Qingli nodded and smiled.
Zhou Zheng bowed, and then withdrew from Zhou Qingli's study.
After Zhou Zheng had left, Uncle Fu came in from outside, slapped the snow, and said, "Master, why bother?"
Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng's footprints in the snow and shook her head silently. (End of this chapter)
