Chapter two hundred and twentieth six chestnuts from the fire

Zhou Zheng and Tian Zhenshu made an appointment in a tavern. Tian Zhenshu's expression was obscure and could not be explained clearly, with solemnity, relief, and a hint of pain.

Zhou Zheng couldn't guess what he was thinking and asked, "What's going on?"

Tian Zhenshu took a sip of wine and said, "I heard that the emperor summoned Wei Zhongxian in the Qiandi Palace. Is it clear what he said, but the general meaning is that everything is the same, and Wei Zhongxian is still in charge of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank

Zhou Zheng immediately understood the meaning of Tian Zhenshu's complex expression.

Tian Zhenshu and the people behind him were neither the Donglin Party nor the eunuch Party, but were in their own relationship. However, both Donglin and Qingliu faced the strong suppression of the eunuch Party and struggled to survive. I thought that the new emperor would cleanse the world and eliminate the eunuch Party, but I never thought that the new emperor was so fond of Wei Zhongxian.

Tian Zhenshu looked lonely and sighed faintly, "If this continues, what hope will I have in the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhou Zheng shook his head gently and said, "I don't know what the new emperor is thinking, but no matter who succeeds to the throne, he will immediately appease the powerful ministers, instead of starting to suppress and eradicate them, unless he is a fool."

Tian Zhenshu was stunned, his expression moved, and said, "You mean, is the new emperor thinking that he is a snake?"

Zhou Zhengdao "I can't guess, but Wei Zhongxian is powerful, and his people are everywhere inside and outside the palace. If the new emperor does not want to have a business accident, even if he has any plans, he must first stabilize Wei Zhongxian so that he will not be in a hurry and endanger himself."

Tian Zhenshu seemed to have thought of something, and his expression was much more excited. He looked at Zhou Zheng seriously and said, "Ling Zun is in Qiandi, but what do you know? You have to reveal something to me, right?"

Zhou Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Yesterday, the Empress asked Keshi to move out of Xian'an Palace, but the emperor did not object."

Zhu Youjian had just ascended the throne and had not yet been enthroned by the queen. The current queen is Queen Zhang of Tianqi.

Xian'an Palace, this palace is often the residence of the empress dowager. Keshi's ability to live here shows her status in Tianqi's heart. When Queen Zhang asked Keshi to move away, Zhu Youjian did not speak, revealing some of his thoughts.

Tian Zhenshu then smiled with satisfaction and said, "You are finally willing to give up."

Tian Zhenshu felt a little relieved, and then he thought seriously.

If the new emperor is dissatisfied with the eunuch party and wants to eradicate the eunuch party, he must think that he is a snake. If this is true, there is great potential!

Tian Zhenshu pondered for a while, looked up and said, "What are your plans?"

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "I have been dismissed from office and sit and watch the changes in the wind and clouds."

Tian Zhenshu shook his head and said, "If you can escape, no one can avoid it. I guess it will take a few days before you have something to do again."

Zhou Zheng didn't care about this and asked, "What's going on in the court recently?"

Tian Zhen memorized, "The six ministries of the Prime Minister Yuanfu's cabinet are very smooth, not as lively as before. The memorials, especially the impeachment memorials, were mostly missing. I heard that some of the above adults kept going to the Qiandi Mansion to meet the emperor. Except for Yuanfu, the emperor did not meet anyone else, including our two adults."

Huang Liji is a very contradictory person. He cursed Wei Zhongxian for his power and ascended the throne. Although Wei Zhongxian is a good match for many things, he is confronted with Wei Zhongxian on some issues and does not give in.

For example, when Zhu Youjian ascended the throne this time, Huang Li tried his best to dispel the controversy and commanded the civil servants, and resisted the pressure of Wei Zhongxian. Otherwise, Zhu Youjian's succession would not be so smooth.

Tian Zhenshu looked at Zhou Zheng, leaned closer, and whispered, "There was a rumor in the palace that the emperor was not the biological son of Guangzong, and Empress Zhang killed many people."

Zhou Zheng nodded slightly. In the past, the palace was the world of Keshi and Wei Zhongxian. Even if it was not compiled by them, they deliberately indulged it.

"You are seeking death." Zhou Zheng said softly.

Tian Zhenshu understood Zhou Zheng's meaning and said, "Li Guopu and others also became quiet. I heard that Li Guopu will soon enter the cabinet and rank third."

Zhou Zheng was not surprised and said, "I'm afraid I won't be calm for long."

Tian Zhenshu nodded and said, "Many people took leave. Zhou Yingqiu complained about illness in the morning, Huo Weihua even claimed to retire, and Mr. Feng was even bedridden..."

Zhou Zheng was stunned, then shook his head and said, "They have a very strong desire for power and cannot let go. Most of them are retreating to advance."

"I think so too," Tian Zhen said, "Also, a few adults have entered Beijing and have some relationship with Ling Zun."

Zhou Zheng's expression moved slightly, and then shook his head secretly. It was not surprising, and he said, "The situation in the court is in chaos now, so don't move rashly with the people behind you."

Tian Zhenshu looked at Zhou Zheng, pondered for a moment, and said, "Do you still remember the fellow country association I told you? Do you want to follow me to meet a few adults?"

Zhou Zheng looked at Tian Zhenshu with a motionless expression, and after a while, he slowly said, "I have no friends and no friends."

Tian Zhen exclaimed, "It's not a clique, but a comrade. We have similar views on the DPRK and have common goals for the future."

Not a clique?

No matter who you are, what kind of ideas, or what purpose you have, once you gain power, you will be the next Donglin Party.

Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "No need."

Tian Zhenshu looked at Zhou Zheng's firm attitude and sighed in his heart. He should have won over after Zhou Zheng's first visit to the court. Now that Zhou Zheng's father has become the minister of the new emperor's secret residence, his future is limitless, and it is really a pity.

Zhou Zheng and Tian Zhenshu parted. When they returned to Zhou's mansion, they were about to climb the wall, a fat man came over panting and shouted in a low voice, "Zhou Zhengyun, wait!"

Zhou Zheng had already pressed one hand on the wall. Hearing the sound, he turned to look at it. It turned out to be Hu Qingzheng.

Liu Liuzhe looked at Hu Qingzheng and looked up at Zhou Zheng again.

Hu Qingzheng ran closer and said, "Go up quickly, I have something to tell you."

As he said that, he stepped onto the ladder and followed Zhou Zheng's butt.

Zhou Zheng thought about it, climbed over the wall, and waited for him on the other side.

Hu Qingzheng climbed down panting, wiping his sweat while saying, "Go away quickly, I'm thirsty."

Zhou Zheng looked at his expression and walked towards the pavilion not far away, saying, "When did you come back?"

Before, Hu Qingzheng returned home after he was sick to avoid the court struggle, and he came back in a blink of an eye.

Hu Qing and Zheng Xu were so fat that they kept wiping their sweat and said, "Where have I been in the capital."

Zhou Zheng was speechless and underestimated the fat man.

The two of them came to the pavilion to sit down, and the servant brought a pot of herbal tea. Hu Qing and Zheng Gudong drank three cups in a row.

He was about to drink the fourth cup, but Zhou Zheng quickly held the tea cup and said, "Okay, our tea is not expensive, slow down."

Hu Qingzheng was still feeling a little relieved, and slammed his mouth. He looked up at Zhou Zheng and said, "I don't talk nonsense anymore. Someone asked me to hand you over. I will continue to impeach Cui Chengxiu. Within two months, you will be the Taoist lord of Zhejiang."

Zhou Zheng knew that Hu Qingzheng came with the mission, but he didn't expect that such a deal would be.

Zhou Zheng thought for a moment and said, "The person behind you? I am at my age and qualifications, can't be the chief official?"

"Management." Hu Qing and Zheng Dao.

Zhou Zheng suddenly realized that formality was natural difficulties, but stewardship was different. He was actually unnamed and could block many people's mouths. What's important is that this is a very important qualification. Whether it is promotion within the Censorate or being released from the outside, the weight is very different from that of ordinary Censors.

At the same time, Zhou Zheng also understood that the reason why Li Guopu and others no longer took action in person was probably not yet able to find out the true attitude of the fresh emperor, so they thought of Zhou Zheng and asked him to do a test.
