The little guy didn't realize it, and opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhou Zheng's class room.

Zhou Zheng looked at him for a while and then began to look through the official documents on the table.

These documents come from all over the Ming Dynasty, from Liaodong to Yunnan to Yunnan in the south, from Nanzhili in the east to Gansu town, almost all of them are included.

Those who reported military information, those who asked for orders, those who asked for money and food, and those who asked for pensions were very complicated. Zhou Zheng frowned after watching it for a while and felt a headache.

Many situations are too complicated and cannot be solved by simple money, food or bandit suppression. They involve deeper problems. Not to mention the Ministry of War, even the cabinet is powerless.

Zhou Zheng looked at it, some directly approved it, while others wrote "Repost", which turned to the class room of Shangshu Yang Sichang.

There were people coming and going in Zhou Zheng's room from time to time. Zhou Zheng even raised his head in front to deal with it, but he didn't raise his head in the back and answered casually.

I don’t know how long it took, Zhou Zheng looked up and looked at the chair not far away. Xiao Deshen was no longer there.

Zhou Zheng in the Ministry of War was not worried about his safety. He looked outside and continued to bow his head to do things.

It was almost noon when suddenly a laugh came from outside, and Yang Sichang strode in.

Zhou Zheng looked up and saw that Yang Sichang no longer had the harshness he had seen before. Instead, he smiled slowly, and he was holding Xiao Deshen in his hand.

Zhou Zheng was a little nervous, so he hurriedly stepped forward, took Xiao Deshen, pulled him behind him calmly, and said with a smile: "Master Yang is laughing. If you have something to do with your baby, you will go back to your parents' home. If you don't have anyone to take care of your child, I have to bring it here and I will send it back later."

Yang Sichang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Nothing is commonplace, very obedient kids, it's okay, come and have another pastry."

Yang Sichang said, handing a plate in his hand to Xiao Deshen.

Only then did Zhou Zheng notice that Yang Sichang was holding a plate in his hand.

Xiao Deshen blinked and looked up at Zhou Zheng.

Yang Sichang put him in front of Xiao Deshen and said, "Come on, eat."

Zhou Zheng looked at Yang Sichang's expression, lowered his head and smiled slightly with Xiao Deshen, and said, "I'm going to take it for you, please."

The little guy then reached out to pick it up timidly, looked at Yang Sichang, and slowly put it into his mouth.

Yang Sichang smiled even more and said, "Is it delicious? Is it still delicious? If you want to eat it, go to your uncle and don't be afraid of being alive."

The little guy seemed to not understand very much, so he looked up at Zhou Zheng again.

Zhou Zheng touched his head and said, "Go outside and have fun."

The little guy walked out slowly with food in his hand.

Yang Sichang looked at his back and said with emotion: "It's better for a child, there are not so many worries."

Zhou Zheng knew that Yang Sichang would not just come to see the child, so he said directly: "What happened?"

Yang Sichang glanced at him and said, "Li Hongji was recommended as the new King of Rebellion, gathered all armies, and had tens of thousands of troops, with a huge momentum."

Li Hongji, also known as Li Zicheng.

Yang Sichang and Zhou Zheng, except for their differences in their views on the Northwest Rebellion, did not have any deep hatred, so there is still a basic face-saving relationship.

Zhou Zhenggang returned from the northwest and knew the situation in the northwest. He pondered for a moment and said, "Li Zicheng is okay, he is currently trapped in Shaanxi. Zhang Xianzhong was frustrated in Sichuan. He is currently entrenched in Huguang. He can go to Guizhou, Sichuan, and Shaanxi in the northwest; he can go to Yunnan, Zhili, Jiangxi, and Henan in the southeast. He is the most dangerous."

Yang Sichang seemed to be worried that Zhou Zheng would say the key words to clear the situation, and said directly: "I am going to mobilize the governors, prime ministers, governors, generals, and troops from the five northwest provinces to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and open a net on all sides!"

Zhou Zheng thought to himself that he knew that this matter would not be completed in a short period of time, at least Chongzhen would have to be willing to do so. It would take time for a moment to allocate money, grain and personnel. He said silently for a moment: "This is Lord Yang's power, and the lower officials will not argue. The lower officials are worried about Liaodong, Tianjin Wei and Denglai, and then further advance to the north to reduce the scope of Jianlu's activities."

Yang Sichang knew Zhou Zheng’s past, and knew that he had been in these three places for most of the years, and had been fighting against Jianlu. He thought for a while and said, “This matter is really not relaxed. You write a note and I will leave it to you after reading it.”

"Sir Xie." Zhou Zheng raised his hand politely.

It is not considered a exchange of interests, and it is Yang Sichang's default on the division of affairs of the Ministry of War. If Zhou Zheng was in charge of the affairs of Jianlu, he could also concentrate on dealing with the bandits in the northwest.

Seeing that Zhou Zheng did not cause trouble for him, Yang Sichang laughed and said, "Your son is good. Although he is a little recognizable, he is not afraid. He travels to the Ministry of War. He is very cute and has nothing to do to bring him more. The Ministry of War is too boring. If you have a child, it will be more relaxed."

Zhou Zheng answered Yang Sichang's show of kindness and smiled and said, "Just don't blame him."

Yang Sichang immediately smiled, and the two reached a tacit understanding.

...

Zhou Zheng took office for four days and handled a lot of things, and gradually sorted out the relationship between the Ministry of War. However, the Left Minister Chen Xinjia never saw him because he left Beijing to rectify military affairs in Xuanda and other places.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, on October 19th, the court meeting.

After leaving the Ministry of War, enter the Daming Gate, walk all the way, and enter the Qianqing Gate.

Zhou Zheng has also been to the court several times, but this time he feels very different.

At the beginning, he was the young censor of the Censorate. He stood at the last position and could not see the big figure in front of him. Now the big figures were around him, seeing clearly, but there were many figures behind him and they couldn't see clearly.

Zhou Zheng stood behind Yang Sichang, with the ministers writing letters from front and back, and there were several cabinet ministers in front.

Yang Sichang held Banhu, occasionally talking to others, and whispered to Zhou Zheng at other times.

"The main thing today is the tax payment matter, which should be targeting officials in Nanzhili." Yang Sichang said.

Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "I heard about it, I'm afraid Yuan Fu can't stop him."

Yang Sichang glanced at Wen Tiren in front and said, "I heard that it was the one who took action and wanted to get back."

The "that person" Yang Sichang mentioned refers to his ex-president Zhou Yanru.

The recent trend of Dashi Forestry in Jiangnan has been rising, especially the restoration of the society has been very disturbed. It takes "repairing the character of the sages of the Donglin" as its mission. Each gathering can be as few as hundreds, and at most thousands. While walking, it is fluttering and alarming half of the city.

The court was shocked and everyone in the country was watching.

Zhou Zheng knew that Zhou Yanru had indeed resurrected in history, but this time, Zhou Zheng would not allow it and whispered: "I'm afraid it's difficult. We are not easy to fall."

Yang Sichang nodded and said, "We will sit and watch later and see the direction of the wind."

Zhou Zheng responded silently, looking at Wen Tiren curiously.

If we talk about the Ming Dynasty, it would be really changing and unpredictable. Even those who are deep inside could not understand the direction. Almost every month, cabinet ministers, six ministers, ministers, etc. were dismissed, retired, and imprisoned. With such frequent changes, no one is a tumbler in the officialdom, and no one can control the tutelage!
