With the settlement of Liaodong, in the eyes of many people, the Ming Dynasty has stabilized, the world is peaceful, and continues to live the past. Therefore, their eyes are on the court again, and the new fight for power may not be far away.
These words would naturally reach Zhou Zheng's ears, but Zhou Zheng did not take care of him, nor did he express his plans for the future to his subordinates. His main energy was still to promote reforms.
The foundation laid for many years, coupled with this Pingliao, is enough to push many people and things horizontally.
The imperial court's actions were extremely majestic and severe, with tasks and progress bars on everyone's head, and the phenomenon of people floating around was the greatest curb.
Despite the assistance of Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, Zhou Zheng's cabinet was still busy in the dark, almost sleeping in the classroom.
At noon on the sixth day of September, Zhou Zheng had finished talking with a few people. Just as he was about to inspect the Military Bureau, he saw a fat guy staring at him at the door.
"Shen'er, why are you here? Come in now." Zhou Zheng looked at his elder son with a smile of surprise and surprise.
Zhou Deshen was still a little fat, but as he became a fourteen-five-year-old man, he seemed to see it even more.
He glanced at a group of people waiting outside, his expression moved, and said: "Mother said, if you don't return to the house, don't go back in the future."
When Bi Maokang, Song Yingxing and others listened, they looked up at the sky, as if they had heard nothing.
Zhou Zheng also coughed and said, "Since you are here, come with me."
Zhou Deshen is currently mainly studying, unlike his brother Zhou Deshao running around, now he is clamoring to go to Yunnan to fight Wu Sangui, which makes Zhou Fang a headache.
He looked at Zhou Zheng's expression and let out a slow sigh.
Zhou Zheng went out, as if nothing had happened, he went straight to the Military Bureau.
The Armament Bureau is now mainly responsible for the research and development of weapons, including weapon armor, artillery gunpowder, and some ships.
Zhou Zheng visited all the way, occasionally mentioning a few words.
Zhou Zheng's words now, whoever dares not take it seriously, will be regarded as imperial edict.
For two hours, the sky brought Black Zhouzheng and other talents out, and they said to Song Yingxing and others as they walked: "Further study, but also pay attention to exchanges and cooperation, Xiyi people, a lot of reference. In addition, not only research, but also apply. . Regarding the use of feedback from the Ministry of War and various localities, we must make sure that we are ahead in the field of weapons. You have seen the power of artillery. For a long time in the future, artillery will determine the outcome of wars. Never let go..."
Song Yingxing and the others responded quickly, expressing their determination.
Zhou Zheng could probably guess their intentions, and slowly said: "As for your budget, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Engineering have already calculated it. This year, we will add 200,000 yuan to you. Don't pass it out, noble book. It’s an iron rooster, it’s not easy for me to pluck his hair..."
Song Yingxing, Bi Maokang and others hurriedly laughed and said yes, thank you.
Zhou Zheng left the Armament Bureau and returned to the cabinet in a carriage.
There was no one else in the carriage, so Zhou Zheng rubbed his brows and exhaled deeply.
The eldest son next to him looked at him and said, "Father, mother said, if you don't go home tonight, don't go back in the future."
Zhou Zheng looked at him, sighed, and said, "Your eldest sister is a ghost, your elder brother is a monkey, and your younger brother is also naughty. Why are you honest?"
Zhou Deshen was startled, wondering what his father meant.
Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "Forget it, go back to the mansion. It was also when you were a child that your mother had too much care for you, so you were stupid."
Zhou Deshen let out a dull voice.
Zhou Zheng looked at him, smiled again, and said, "I heard that many of you have proposed marriages recently."
Zhou Deshen looked still, and said honestly and honestly: "I want the imperial examination to be an official."
Zhou Zheng nodded secretly, the little guy has grown up after all and has an idea.
After thinking about it for a moment, Zhou Zheng said: "You go and do some middle school books for Mr. Sun Ge for a while, run errands, read more, learn more, talk less and ask less."
Zhou Deshen looked at Zhou Zheng and said after a while: "Okay."
Zhou Zheng smiled again and said to the outside: "Stop going to the cabinet, go back to the house."
The coachman outside responded and turned his horse's head.
Zhou Deshen looked at it with a smile on his face.
Zhou Zheng looked at it, and his heart moved. In fact, he spends very little time with his children. He does not return home for many years and lacks a lot of care for the children.
When he returned home, Shangguanqing didn't have Zhou Zheng's face and was busy taking care of himself.
The old husband and wife, Zhou Zheng didn't bother to explain anything. He called a few children over. He wanted to have a good chat with them, sitting in a secluded manner one by one, listening to the lesson.
Zhou Zheng said a few words, and he felt sternly, not angry, he sighed in his heart, said a few words at random, waved them to let them go.
Shangguanqing had been outside all the time. Seeing that the child had gone, he walked in, looked at Zhou Zheng's somewhat exhausted expression, paused, and said, "What to eat at night?"
Zhou Zheng had no appetite at first, but he suddenly said, "Eating fish, braised fish, I haven't eaten it for a long time."
Shangguanqing nodded lightly, and then said: "Should I go to Daddy for a chat?"
Zhou Zheng was taken aback, and he immediately saw it from Shangguanqing's expression. He smiled and said, "It's okay, but with some emotion, these children are all grown up."
Shangguan Qing said: "Well, they are all pretty good."
Zhou Zheng was leaning on the chair to get up, when he saw Liu Liuche rushing in from the outside to meet Shangguan, and then excitedly said: "Second Young Master, guess what fun I found?"
Shangguanqing frowned when he looked at Liu Liuzhe, who was almost forty years old, the same as before.
Zhou Zheng sat back again and said, "What's fun?"
Liu Liuzhe glanced at Shangguanqing again, before he waited for Shangguanqing's reaction, he said directly: "That Bumubutai is Huang Taiji's concubine, who built the Xiaozhuang, and spent the night in Zhongcui Palace last night."
Zhou Zheng's eyes were wide open, his expression stunned.
Zhou Zheng had no doubt about Liu Liuzhe's words. After thinking about it carefully, there was nothing to doubt.
Bumbutai is in his early thirties, and his charm still exists. Bumbutai wants to protect himself, and Zhu Cihong wants people, and each takes what he needs.
Shangguan Qing glanced at Liu Liuzhe badly, then turned and left.
Zhou Zheng looked at Liu Liuzhe and said, "The first time?"
Liu Liuzhe was extremely excited about this kind of thing, and said: "I noticed only today that Bu Mubutai went into the palace many times before, and he was called in under various names by the emperor, and he did not stay overnight, so we did not doubt Suddenly staying overnight today, my talents reacted and checked it quietly. Only then did they find out. It is estimated that they have been there for a while."
Zhou Zheng touched his chin, smiled, and said, "There are surprises everywhere in the world." (End of this chapter)
