Zhou Zheng listened and nodded, "I am prepared."
Zhou Qingli looked at this son. More than ten years have passed. It is no longer the one who took the risk of taking the risk, and everything is too extreme for Xiao Yushi.
He nodded lightly and sighed: "Your road is not easy to follow. If it is in the Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi can retreat all over his body and end in peace. In the future, our Zhou family is afraid that we will follow in the footsteps of Taiyue."
Regardless of the hate and pitifulness of the Song Dynasty, for scholar-officials, it was really tolerant to the extreme. On the other hand, in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng died, and he opened the coffin to slaughter his corpse and ransacked his family.
Zhou Zheng's eyes were slightly cold, and he said, "Father, don't worry, I won't give them this opportunity."
Zhou Qingli silently said: "It is appropriate to put your eldest brother in the Ministry of Engineering. He is impulsive and put in another position. I don't know how many people will be offended. You may not be able to protect him in this position."
Zhou Zheng listened to Zhou Qingli's words, thinking in his heart.
Was the line a little long, and accidentally pulled him into the water
Seeing Zhou Zheng's thoughtful look, Zhou Qingli waved his hand and said, "You have just sealed the title of Guogong, and there will be nothing to do for a while. A good year will pass, and you will talk about other things after you return to Beijing."
Zhou Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, let's talk about the New Year first."
After the father and son said these, the topic was relaxed.
Zhou Qingli cares about a few children very much and wants to stay with him to teach, especially Zhou Deshou. The little guy is too off-spirited and follows Zhou Zheng as an example in everything. Zhou Qingli is worried that he will not be able to pass and his foundation is not strong.
Zhou Ding, and Shangguan Qinghuan were busy working, preparing for the New Year while tidying up.
Before Zhou Zhengwei had been free for two days in Tianjin, people from all over the place came to visit the door one after another.
Those who can come to the door are not all generals of Zhou Zheng's line, and Zhou Zheng has to meet.
These people are nothing more than to show their sense of existence and hope for their future.
Zhou Zheng's side is not quiet, and the capital is even less peaceful.
The aftermath of Jingcha became more and more fierce, and those officials who did not dismiss, mobilized the relationship behind them, beat Yang Sichang as an'evil party' and frantically impeached him.
While protecting Yang Sichang, Zhou Yanru intervened in low-level officials, hoping to lay a solid foundation and make up for this weak link.
Others are not soft-hearted, all kinds of forces are rushing forward, power and other things are the most moving, whether they are in the country or in the opposition, they are all operating frantically.
Nan Zhili, who was under great pressure, instantly relaxed, and the pressure surged towards the capital.
The power of the imperial court now basically covers all classes. Zhou Yanru has the ability to play tricks, win over and suppress.
Just after the New Year, before the Lantern Festival, an explosive news spread in the capital.
Moxi Mongol suddenly took the pass and attacked Gansu Town, but was blocked by Qin Liangyu. Zhao rate teaches, Cao Bianjiao and others have written to the Ministry of War, whether they want to go out and fight back.
Zhou Yanru and others did not know the soldiers and asked Yang Sichang and Li Banghua, but they were secretive and refused to speak.
Zhou Yanru had to send someone to Tianjin Wei to ask Zhou Zheng's meaning.
In the living room of Zhou's family, Chen Yan and Fan Wenjing sat down, respectful and perturbed.
Zhou Zheng finished tea and looked at the two and said, "Are you worried about me sending troops?"
Chen Yan shrinks his head inertially and refuses to answer.
Fan Wenjing had to bite the bullet and said: "Duke Dingguo, I have not left the customs for more than a hundred years. If I lose, the consequences will be unimaginable. Even if I win, the war will be endless. I am bright and can't stand the toss. "
Ostrich tactics.
Zhou Zheng looked at him and said, "This is Yuan Fu's attitude? Is the court's attitude?"
Fan Wenjing hesitated for a moment, and said: "No. Yuan Fu means that the court knows soldiers than Ding Guo Gong. The decision of Ding Guo Gong will be the decision of the court."
Shaking the pot
Zhou Zheng looked still, pondered for a moment, and said: "I have ordered Qin Liangyu, Cao Bianjiao, and Man Gui to send troops at the opportunity to send me back. In addition, I also sent to Monan and Mobei Mongolia to cooperate in the fight. "
Fan Wenjing looked shocked when she heard it, and said, "Duke Dingguo, can they be obedient?"
Zhou Zheng looked flat and said: "Moxi Mongolia wanted to be unprepared and robbed after entering the customs. Second, it was temptation. Regardless of whether these two goals are achieved or not, they will not take the pass for too long. There is no strength. As for Monan and Mobei, they are already weak, and they are facing the gradual erosion and annexation of Moxi Mongolia. This time they are disobedient. Next time, I will crusade them!"
Fan Wenjing heard it. Zhou Zhengming said he had planned a long time ago. He felt a little uneasy. He said: "Duke Dingguo, the reform of our dynasty is at a critical moment, and we can't be disturbed. For the time being, we will bear it for a while. After a few years, we will continue. How about fighting back in one fell swoop?"
Zhou Zheng knew well that Zhou Yanru did not want to go to war. This would damage the stability of the Ming Dynasty and threaten his power.
Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup and said, "Go back and tell Yuanfu that this is my decision. In addition, I ask Mr. Yang to preside over the anti-corruption affairs. Mr. Li will go to Nanzhili and Mr. Qian will go to Shaanxi. Do a good job of investigating the army's waste of salaries, deductions, and embezzlement of money and food."
Fan Wenjing didn't understand Zhou Zheng's words.
However, Chen Yan quietly raised his head and glanced at Zhou Zheng, then quickly lowered his head.
Fan Wenjing had little experience and couldn't understand, but Chen Yan learned something from it.
These are cabinet ministers, and they tend to be neutral. After they are transferred, Zhou Yanru and others are left in the cabinet. All the merits and demerits in the future can be put on Zhou Yanru and others.
This may be a trap, there is no Moxi Mongolian Kouguan!
Chen Yan had all kinds of speculations in his mind, but he dared not say it.
Seeing Zhou Zhengyi's decision, Fan Wenjing pondered for a while, and said: "Ding Guo Gong, Gansu Town is far away from the capital, and the road is far away. The supply of money and food is a big problem. If there is a long-term confrontation, there will really be major changes, so be very careful. "
Zhou Zheng knew that most people did not want him to go to war. Who would know that Moxi Mongols are now extremely fragile, and they are the end of the war. If it can be decided by the first battle, perhaps they will surrender to the Ming just like they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty towards.
Even if not, after World War I, Moxi Mongolia will stay away and will not be too entangled with the Ming Dynasty.
Zhou Zheng couldn't persuade them either. He put down his teacup and said, "Let's take a step and see. Wait for their news."
Fan Wenjing sighed in his heart, and there was no other way, so he had to say: "Yuan Fu hopes that Ding Guo Gong will return to Beijing as soon as possible, discuss carefully, and plan for the long term."
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "I will return to Beijing after the Lantern Festival."
Fan Wenjing didn't say more, stood up and saluted and said goodbye.
Zhou Zheng watched them leave and picked up the teacup again.
Liu Liuzhe came in and said, "Second Young Master, the letter from the Ministry of War said that according to their estimates, there were at most 5,000 people here, which is nothing to worry about."
Zhou Zheng took it and took a look. It was an analysis by the Military Intelligence Department of the Ministry of War.
Zhou Zheng watched for a while, nodded lightly, and said: "It's not that their speculation is unreasonable, so that Cao will become a Jiao, and it will be good for Gui to train." (End of this chapter)
