Zhou Zheng looked at Li Hengbing's profile, his eyes were alert, and he raised his eyes to look at the gazes in front of him. He took a deep breath, took a step to the right, and raised his hand to Tianqi.
Everyone was waiting for him to speak, but he raised his hand and paused for a while before saying: "Your Majesty, my father has spent 16 years in the 6th department, but he has only been from the 7th grade. Not long ago, he was a member of the staff. It has been less than ten days. After resigning and returning home, let me ask, in just ten days, can my father arrange for Weichen a seven-grade supervisory official?"
"Secondly, the Weichen madness spread throughout the city, but there is a half proof? Does the Weichen have the slightest appearance of madness? Is it such a solemn place that people have to talk about it and spread rumors?"
"Furthermore, the Weichen's duty as the Zhejiang Provincial Supervisory Yushi has been assessed through layers of procedures, and has never been arrogant. These are all well documented. The Weichen is honest and fearless..."
Zhou Zheng's lengthy speech, cadence and frustration.
The person in front seemed impatient and wanted to stand up. Zhou Zheng stopped his conversation abruptly and said in a deep voice: "My lords, today is discussing the affairs of Liaodong. Is it because you want to waste time on the lower officials to the next court?"
The figure who was about to stand up in front became stiff, and then retreated abruptly.
Zhou Zheng was right. What they had to do was not to investigate whether the official Zhou Zheng came. It was wasted until the next court, and the previous plans were wasted.
Li Hengbing glanced at Zhou Zheng, who was always advancing and retreating, and there was no panic, frowning slightly. This is different from what he expected. On such occasions, shouldn't the emperor, the minister of Manchuria, and the 19-year-old Zhou Zheng, have lost ground and spoken out of order
Li Hengbing's eyes flickered slightly, and he shook his head at a person not far away.
The man immediately stepped out, raised his hand, and said: "Your Majesty, after Yuan Yingtai, Wang Huazhen deployed soldiers, set up battalions and cities, trained soldiers, and comforted the people. It can be said that the foundation of Liaodong now comes from Wang Huazhen. No merit?"
"Your Majesty, Guangning's defeat is due to Xiong Tingbi's mismanagement and careless use of troops. It is not Wang Huazhen's incompetence. If Wang Huazhen's policy is to stick to Shanhaiguan, concentrate money and food, soldiers, how come such a defeat?"
"Your Majesty, Wang Huazhen really has been wronged, please check carefully, so that you can find out black and white!
"Your Majesty, the ministers ask the three divisions for a trial. You should find out the right and wrong of merits and demerits..."
The people in front are talking about Wang Huazhen's deeds. The people behind asked for a retrial, looking very embarrassed.
Zhou Zheng watched as they stood up one by one, retreated one by one, expressionless, his anger was like a volcano.
Such a major frontier event, these people have a trivial matter in their eyes, and they make decisions casually, relying solely on their own interests!
The so-called Trial of the Three Divisions, the current Three Divisions, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, the Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple are all eunuchs. If the trial is true, wouldn't Wang Huazhen be released from prison with great merit and be promoted as a nobleman
Is there anything more absurd in the world than this!
Zhou Zheng took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and raised his hand again: "Your Majesty, there are more than 400 castles in eastern Liaodong, the minister does not know which place Wang Huazhen built? I don't know which place he comforted? If it was him In order to build a city, why do you still propose to move all the people outside the customs into the customs and stick to the Shanhaiguan pass?"
"Time is shifting and Shiyi, don't you understand this truth? How can Liaodong defend after Guangning's defeat?" Someone decisively refuted Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng responded without hesitation: "How can I not defend? Is Ning Yuan not able to defend? Or is Jinzhou not able to defend?"
"This time it was just a fluke. Yuan Chonghuan himself said that the thief and captive may not be able to guard when they come back, and if the Shanhaiguan pass is also lost, do you know the severity?" Someone came out in a cold tone.
"If the land of Liaodong is abandoned, and the thieves and soldiers are approaching Shanhaiguan, do you know how much shock it will be to the capital and Ming? If it is broken, do you know how bad it is?" Zhou Zheng's voice became colder.
Someone walked out, not far away from Zhou Zheng, with gloomy eyes and thundering voices: "Shanhaiguan is the world's number one pass. If it is built with great effort, let alone 80,000 thieves and slaves, even 200,000 will not be broken!"
Zhou Zheng retorted unceremoniously: "Senior officials rarely study, and adults don't want to lie to me. Since ancient times, Xiaguan has never seen an unbreakable pass!"
"Do you know how much money is spent in Liaodong every year? My Ming treasury is simply unable to support it. If I reluctantly support it, I am afraid that I will collapse in less than three years. If I only guard Shanhaiguan, save money and food, train soldiers, repair internal affairs, and do not pay three. In the next year, the army can quell Liao..." Someone came out in front, it should be the minister of criminal justice.
Zhou Zheng heard more anger, and said: "Let's not talk about Ping Liao, I will ask the adults, today there is not enough money and food to give up the north of Shanhaiguan. If there is not enough money and food in the future, do you want to abandon Shanhaiguan?"
A person in front of Shi Shiran came out, slowly raised his head, and said in a very slow tone: "Shanhaiguan, of course, cannot be abandoned. How can Liaodong be compared with Shanhaiguan? You talk endlessly here and refuse to let go, but Liaodong's momentum is like a dangerous egg and cannot be sustained. What can you do if you don't give up?"
Zhou Zheng looked at him directly, and said in a deep voice: "Ning Jin Yi wins, my Da Ming is morale like a rainbow, and Jian is frustrated. Under such a good situation, if I want to abandon Liaodong, how is this different from the Tanyuan alliance? Could it be me? Daming wants to give Jian Slaves money too?"
"presumptuous!"
Someone yelled at Zhou Zheng and said angrily: "How can I, Daming surrender to Jiannu! You want to be Kou Wengong, it's still a long way away!"
Zhou Zheng sneered and said: "The alliance of Tanyuan is still discussed. The adults will give up Liaodong without saying a word. This is not as good as surrender! The next official is not Kou Wengong, but who are you adults!"
Zhou Zheng's words seemed to be a fuse, which angered many people, and more people stood up with an angry expression. The old predecessors pointed at Zhou Zheng like a lesson, drooling, and the words became more and more rude.
Zhou Zhengyi was not afraid, like a leaf in a lake, but as firm as a pine. Anyone who attacked, unceremoniously rebutted it, every word was right and every word was reasonable.
The Emperor Tianqi on the dragon chair stared at Zhou Zheng closely, his eyes lit up, his right hand gripped the dragon chair tightly, his breath was a little rush, and he was very nervous.
Hu Qingzheng watched Zhou Zheng's posture against the Confucian scholars, and kept wiping the cold sweat on his head, whispering in his heart, "behave, it's incredible, the next generation is terrible..."
Tian Zhenshu and Zheng Shouli looked at each other. The two looked very excited, and they wanted to join in and fight side by side with Zhou Zheng, but they endured desperately because they were worried about disrupting Zhou Zheng's rhythm.
The few people in front of Chaoban also turned around and looked at Zhou Zheng who was under siege while holding the Banhu. They couldn't help frowning, but no one spoke.
Li Hengbing was standing in front of Zhou Zheng. He had already turned around, squinted, looking at Zhou Zheng with a faint expression on his face.
He did not join the attack sequence, just like a cheetah predating secretly, staring at Zhou Zheng closely, as if waiting for him to relax his vigilance and waiting for him to reveal his flaws.
There were so many people besieging Zhou Zheng, and all kinds of strange words kept pouring out.
Zhou tried his best to stay calm, resist one by one, fight back, and at the same time continue to think about countermeasures. Ming Ting was worse than he expected, and he didn't follow his plan at all.
If it continues, it is likely to be "majority advantage" and pass the retrial of Wang Huazhen's case. At that time, no one could stop Wang Huazhen from releasing, and even the Ming Dynasty abandoned Liaodong and withdrew to Shanhaiguan. (End of this chapter)
