Li Hengbing's answer satisfied Zhou Zheng. Zhou Zheng said a few words and asked him to leave first.

Sun Chuanting looked at Li Hengbing's back and said, "Sir, it's not that I'm talking bad about my colleagues. I can't see through this Li Hengbing."

Zhou Zheng took a look and said, "I have discussed with Yuan Fu to choose two teachers for the emperor, and teach classes regularly every ten days. You are one, Liu Zongzhou is the other, and you will enter the palace next year."

Sun Chuanting was also a Jinshi, and there is no doubt about his cultural cultivation. Although he is not as good as Liu Zongzhou, he is still more than enough to teach a child.

Sun Chuanting just hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you take it? If Your Majesty subtly agrees with our reforms, it may save a lot of trouble in the future and it can be considered a successor."

Zhou Zheng was completely disappointed with Zhu Cilang and would not put the future of reform on him. After pondering for a while, he said: "In the article on the Emperor's Law of the Ming Dynasty, he added this sentence: The emperor is an important symbol of the central force in maintaining the unity of the Ming Dynasty, and has a lofty status. He is the example of the people and is hereditary."

Sun Chuanting waited for a while before saying in surprise: "Is it just that?"

Zhou Zheng naturally wanted to do more, but Sun Chuanting felt that it was too much!

"The current Ming Dynasty law must be general and broad, and will be gradually refined in the future."

Zhou Zheng said calmly: "You have prepared the rules and prepared them in the six ministries, and at the same time pay attention to the reactions of the people. We must reach a consensus as much as possible. If necessary, let Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi and others have an open debate with Er Zhang, and they will all argue for a few days."

Sun Chuanting understood and said with a smile: "Okay, please make arrangements."

Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "You are in the Ministry of Personnel, and the important things must be accelerated, especially in terms of talents, so you must pay attention."

Sun Chuanting nodded, this is their most important thing at present.

As the stall is about to be opened, how can reliable personnel be able to do it without the ability?

Zhou Zheng talked with Sun Chuanting for a full hour before leaving Zhou's mansion.

When Zhou Zheng returned to the room, Shangguan Qing had already coaxed his two children to sleep, lay on the bed, and read quietly.

When Zhou Zheng came in, she just turned her head and continued reading.

Zhou Zheng looked at Shangguan Qing like this, as if he thought of ten years ago, his eyes couldn't help but shiny and he walked over.

...

The Ming Dynasty court had a dispute over the "rebellious case", and this dispute evolved into a struggle between the "two Zhous".

The Ministry of Justice, represented by the Censorate and Dali Temple, had huge differences with Qian Qianyi, the presiding judge, and the Ministry of Justice - the boundary of the "reverse case".

The Censorate and Dali Temple adhere to the principle of "adhering to rebels and not forgiven", insisting on not letting go of any one, killing the company in a large manner, and alerting the people of the world.

Qian Qianyi and Zhang Sizhi demanded "reluctant" and hoped to stop and settle these cases as soon as possible, change the date next year, turn them over and no longer mention them.

Qian Qianyi and Zhang Sizhi wanted Zhou Yanru to talk to Zhou Zheng in person, so they were quick and neat, but Zhou Zheng played Tai Chi and pushed things down.

Qian Qianyi and Zhang Sizhi had to talk with Ma Shiying and Kou Huaiyi, which was arguing. Both sides almost went through cases one by one, and discussed the people who were arrested, potentially arrested, and might be arrested, and planned a list.

With such a stalemate, the court actually had a rare appearance of calmness.

Almost at the same time, Lu Xiangsheng, as the prime minister of the Northwest bandit suppression, ordered the northwest army, with a total of nearly 300,000, to act as a decisive battle with Li Zicheng at the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi.

Cao Wenzhao, Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao, Yang Guozhu and others came from Xi'an Prefecture. More than 100,000 troops were deployed on various fortress roads like huge fans.

Qin Liangyu, with 20,000 Sichuan troops and 10,000 Cao Bianjiao's cavalry, left Jiange, and blocked Li Zicheng's way north to Sichuan.

Zuo Liangyu and Liu Liuzhe led nearly 40,000 troops to advance west from Xiangyang, blocking Li Zicheng's road from Dongtao.

This time, the official army dispatched heavy troops and unified military orders. All the troops were elite soldiers and had sufficient food and supplies. It can be said that this was the most powerful military force of the Ming Dynasty!

Lu Xiangsheng has been preparing for more than a month, and he is asking for a battle to make a decision and will not give Li Zicheng any chance to rise again!

In the tent of Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao, Man Gui, Zhao Rujiao and others were all here, discussing the next battle.

The officers of the Military Intelligence Department looked at the few people, opened the thick text in their hands, and said, "Prime Minister, all the generals, from the information obtained by the Military Intelligence Department, Li Zicheng's troops had a total of 100,000 troops, plus the people they were carrying, ranging from 200,000 to 300,000, plus Wu Sangui, Tang Tong and other rebels, and other bandits, the total number may be around 350,000, and it stretches dozens of miles from Xiaoliangshan to Jishui River..."

Li Zicheng's former million-dollar army has been disbanded by the official army, and one out of ten is left.

Lu Xiangsheng and others looked at the huge sand table in front of them with a solemn expression. Even if Li Zicheng was a defeated general, they did not dare to be careless.

Cao Wenzhao looked at it for a while and said, "Prime Minister, the last general believes that it is more appropriate to collapse one by one. If you launch all the clearance, there may be unexpected results."

If the front line comes too long, there will always be flaws. If Li Zicheng makes a desperate breakthrough, breaks through their defense line and rushes into Shaanxi again, their great achievements will become greater.

Zhao Rujiao said: "I think I will attack Li Zicheng's camp directly. As long as this place is solved, other places will definitely collapse and achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Yang Guozhu's marching style is the most steady or conservative. He stared at the sand table and said, "I'm afraid Li Zicheng may not be able to fight to the decisive battle. I'm worried that he is looking for a flaw to escape."

"Li Zicheng must not be allowed to escape!"

Lu Xiangsheng said in a deep voice: "The expedition of Xibo has issued a military order for us to completely solve the problems in the northwest by the end of the year. Otherwise, we should not think about the credit and choose a cemetery first."

Everyone looked stern and responded.

Just as Lu Xiangsheng was about to say something again, Lu Xiangtong hurried in, glanced at the others, and whispered in Lu Xiangsheng's ear.

Lu Xiangsheng frowned and said lightly: "You are discussing, I'll go."

Cao Wenzhao, Zhao Rujiao, Man Gui and others looked at each other without saying a word.

They all knew who Lu Xiangsheng was going to meet, and they also knew his identity.

Lu Xiangsheng came outside the big tent and walked into a small tent, inside which was a middle-aged man waiting for him.

The middle-aged man was fat and had a greasy face. When he saw Lu Xiangsheng coming in, he looked anxious and said, "Prime Minister Lu, have you figured it out?"

Lu Xiangsheng looked plain and said, "Do you know my relationship with Zheng Xibo?"

The middle-aged man said dissatisfied and said, "Didn't you tell me? It was not Zhou Zheng who protected you at the beginning, but the late emperor intended to let you go. Zhou Zheng was just following the flow, so why remember his great favor?"

Lu Xiangsheng did not refute, saying, "The thief entered the capital, and the late emperor was in trouble. He led his army to eliminate the thieves and recovered the capital. He ordered me to be the Prime Minister of the Northwest and entrusted more than 200,000 troops to my hands. Do you know how much trust this is? How can I betray him?"

"What trust? Take a closer look!"

The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said, "Except for your ten thousand Tianxiong Army, Cao Wenzhao, Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao, Yang Guozhu, etc., who is not Zhou Zheng's person? If he believes in you, why should he send so many people to monitor him? It is obviously guarding against you!"

Lu Xiangsheng's expression was always dull, neither joy nor sorrow, and said, "Do you know that what you want me to do, to be lighter, is related to the country, and the bones of the late emperor have not been cold. If it is severe, it is a serious crime for eternity and will be detrimental for thousands of years."

The middle-aged man looked annoyed and said, "You are the Prime Minister of Northwest. You hold hundreds of thousands of troops in your hand. You are a small defeat. Zhou Zhengyun is defeated in the court and will not complete the military order. By then, you will be the Minister of War. You will be the Minister of War in the future and be appointed as a marquis and prime minister in the future!"

Lu Xiangsheng looked at him and said, "You are the eunuch beside the late emperor. You don't know the military formation. I will explain it carefully to you. My more than 200,000 troops are the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty, all the army, and the last army. If Li Zicheng escapes from me and we are questioned, then Li Zicheng will be able to recover for the third time, sweep the northwest, and capture the capital again. At that time, there was no second conquest of Xibo, Liaodong, and Shandong could no longer dispatch troops..."

The middle-aged man didn't listen at all. Before Lu Xiangsheng finished speaking, he said angrily: "Didn't I tell you? I'll make you a little defeat and sing. When Zhou Zheng is questioned and imprisoned, wouldn't you just be able to defeat Li Zicheng?"

Lu Xiangsheng still had that expression and said, "Li Zicheng has hundreds of thousands of troops, and the battlefield changes rapidly and is not in my hands at all. What you want may cause the northwest to decay again and threaten the country. Do you really don't know the importance of the people behind you?"

The middle-aged man's face became more and more irritable, and he said coldly: "You know who I am. You should guess the person behind me. If you are obsessed with it, you can't afford the consequences in the future!"

Lu Xiangsheng's expression seemed to be frozen, and he said, "For the sake of emotion and reason, I have no reason to agree to you. If it is liquidated one day in the future, I hope you will let the Conquer Xibo go."

The middle-aged man's face looked very ugly and said gloomy: "Okay! Remember what you said today, today's sound, and next day's fruit!"

The middle-aged man's last words were screaming.

Lu Xiangsheng still had a expressionless face and said, "Come here, there is a crisis in war, it is not suitable for father-in-law here, so I'll send someone to escort him back to Beijing."

The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly changed and he said coldly: "You want to catch me back?"

Lu Xiangsheng ignored him and turned around and left the tent.

The middle-aged man shouted angrily: "Even if I take the control of me and leave it to Zhou Zhengyun, he can't do anything to me. Lu Xiangsheng, you still have a chance. As long as you think clearly, I will guarantee you a bright future, and the Lu family will be in great fortune!"

Lu Xiangsheng ignored it at all and strode towards his big tent.

Lu Xiangtong looked at him and said to several soldiers, "You lead a team of people, and send them to the Jinyiwei day and night."

"Yes!" The little flag responded, immediately asked someone to block the eunuch's mouth and hurriedly took it away.

Lu Xiangsheng returned to the big tent, and Cao Wenzhao and others looked at him.

Lu Xiangsheng took a deep breath, walked to the sand table, and said, "The big snake must take into account both the head and tail. We divide them into three sections, cut and surround them separately, eat them one by one, and don't let one go!"

Everyone's eyes lit up. This is indeed a good tactic. They can do it and the effect is the best!

Although the group of people were excited about this tactic, they didn't say anything and still looked at Lu Xiangsheng.

They knew that the eunuch had come and had contacted them. Their relationship with Zhou Zheng was extraordinary. They had both losses and had no reason to agree, and they could not do it either.

But Lu Xiangsheng is different. He is the Prime Minister of Northwest. He can accomplish that with a little trick in the arrangement, and they can't see it in advance.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at their expressions and guessed their thoughts, and said lightly: "Yuli, I am a subordinate of Zheng Xibo and the Prime Minister of the Northwest of the Ming Dynasty. I will definitely not give the thief a chance. In love, Zheng Xibo and me, the Lu family has great kindness, and I will not repay their grudges. For me, I, Lu Xiangsheng, will not do such a despicable thing!"

Everyone stared at his expression and finally breathed a sigh of relief for a while.

If Lu Xiangsheng really had to do so much, they would not have many choices. Perhaps only the following offenders would imprison Lu Xiangsheng, suspend the expedition and suppression, and wait for Zhou Zheng's order.

If you really want to do that, it will be unpredictable to win or lose!

Seeing everyone's expressions relaxed, Lu Xiangsheng breathed inexplicably and said, "Let's discuss the tactics, and then Fei Ge sent a letter to Qin Liangyu, Zuo Liangyu and others. Five days later, start the action!"

"The last general will receive the order!" All the generals in the tent knelt on one knee and responded in a deep voice.
Chapter completed!
