Yang Sichang took a deep breath and shook his head and said, "No more. After I leave Beijing, the Ministry of War will hand it over to you. After Yuanfu, the court will inevitably be in a turmoil. You have never been friends or friends. This time you should avoid it and not get involved."

Zhou Zheng felt that Yang Sichang seemed to be hiding something, but he didn't ask much, saying, "Okay. You still need to deal with Lu Xiangsheng's affairs in front of the emperor."

Yang Sichang said: "I have no problem. I just hope Yuan Fu will not cause trouble and speak nonsense."

The Ganqing Palace was obviously dissatisfied with Wen Tiren. If Wen Tiren tried to protect Lu Xiangsheng at this time, it might be counterproductive. Not only would it not be able to be protected, but it would also send Lu Xiangsheng for a long time.

The court is just a pool of muddy water, and no one can tell what will happen next.

Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "It changes according to the situation."

Zhou Zheng discussed with Yang Sichang, and went to see Lu Xiangsheng again, and did not return home until dawn.

The next day, Lu Xiangsheng's memorial was not delivered yet, but the Ministry of War received war reports from various places.

First, Chen Xinjia defeated Li Zicheng in the northwest, forcing Li Zicheng from Suiyuan to Fengxiang, then to Weinan, and finally fled to Sichuan, which was quite embarrassed.

In Nanzhili, Zhang Xianzhong faced the encirclement and suppression of various Ming troops. He suffered more and more defeats. Seeing that he was unable to support him, he retreated back to Huguang.

Lu Xiangsheng's memorial was sent up, and the rumor that impeached Lu Xiangsheng and killed Liang Gong, Chongzhen was naturally furious and ordered Yang Sichang and Wen Tiren to enter the palace.

Thanks to Yang Sichang's strong protection, Lu Xiangsheng's guilt was greatly relieved, but he was still imprisoned and was not as easy as resigning.

The matters about the northwest were also decided in the palace, but it was not what Yang Sichang and Zhou Zheng said.

Xiong Wencan was promoted to Prime Minister of Northwest by Lu Xiang, and was divided into Northwest and Southeast with Chen Xinjia. In addition, Shi Kefa was promoted to the right assistant censor, governor Anqing, Luzhou, and military affairs in nine counties including Henan, Huguang, and Jiangxi.

Zhou Zheng knew that when Lu Xiangsheng was imprisoned, Yang Sichang was still in the palace.

In the class room, Zhang Heyi and Yao Tongshun stood in front of Zhou Zheng's desk. The two had different expressions and were both condensing.

Zhang Heyi said: "Shangshu Yang is obviously guarding against Xiong Wencan, and he didn't even leak any words before."

Yao Tongshun glanced outside and lowered his voice: "The affairs of the Ministry of War are also a bit strange. The villain always feels that some people are deliberately avoiding us, as if they are secretly planning something."

Zhou Zheng crossed his hands and his eyes flashed slightly.

It’s not surprising that Yang Sichang was guarding him, but it was very problematic to defend him so obviously.

Zhou Zheng's double index fingers circled around, and various thoughts flew in his mind, saying, "In this way, you are watching the Ministry of War. I will go to the Ministry of Justice to see Lu Xiangsheng later. You should try your money and relationships and let the Ministry of Justice not treat him harshly."

Yao Tongshun raised his hand and replied suddenly: "By the way, sir, there are still some military information, so he can't see it here. He just went directly to Yang Shangshu's class room and never came out again."

Zhang Heyi followed and said, "Yes, the official also noticed that some of them are from Chahar and Liaodong."

Zhou Zheng is really different this time. He is in charge of Liaodong now. Even if it is not, he should not be able to hide anything from Liaodong.

Yang Sichang, what are you doing? What are you doing?

Zhou Zheng thought about it but couldn't understand it, so he waved his hand and said, "You should keep an eye on it and do the current things first. Especially for Liaodong, Tianjin Wei, and Shandong, you must focus on everything. If you have any problems, tell me as soon as possible."

Yao Tongshun and Zhang Heyi quickly raised his hand and said, "It's an adult!"

Zhou Zheng left the Ministry of War and went to the Ministry of Justice.

The Ministry of Justice is a bit far away from the Ministry of War, and is with Dali Temple and the Censorate, which is the so-called "Three Officials' Office".

Lu Xiangsheng had just been locked up, and his treatment was pretty good, and he had a clean and independent cell.

The people from the Ministry of Justice hid Zhou Zheng a little, and only arranged two prisoners to lead Zhou Zheng to the prison.

Zhou Zheng was very familiar with the Ministry of Justice, and he was once the master of the third visit to the palace.

Seeing Zhou Zheng coming to see him so quickly, Lu Xiangsheng said with emotion: "I had drunk and had nothing to entertain now."

Zhou Zheng glanced behind him and saw the prison guard leaving. Then he said, "Shangshu Yang is still in the palace, and I don't know what happened. Please be patient and wait, I'll think of a solution."

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said, "Don't do anything randomly. I also met some people yesterday. Recently, the situation in the process is in a mess. Don't involve you too."

Zhou Zheng thought about the strangeness of the Ministry of War, and it was not easy to say more to Lu Xiangsheng, saying, "I have asked the Ministry of Justice to take care of you, don't worry at home, I will take care of you."

Lu Xiangsheng was very open-minded and said, "I'm not worried about these things. I'm just worried that I will implicate a lot of people this time. If you have a way, please take care of me."

Zhou Zheng thought about it, asked the prison guard to use the pen and ink, and said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Write the list to me."

Without hesitation, Lu Xiangsheng clearly listed the reliable list of Tianxiong Army to Zhou Zheng.

After taking it, Zhou Zheng took it and put it in his arms, he said, "I think of a way to save them."

Lu Xiangsheng believed that Zhou Zheng had this strength and said, "I will write you another letter and show them something to them so as not to have misunderstandings."

Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "Okay."

Lu Xiangsheng wrote, finished writing in a hurry, handed it to Zhou Zheng, sighed and said, "I'll leave it to you."

Zhou Zheng folded it and put it in his arms, saying, "Don't worry, you can come out soon."

Lu Xiangsheng smiled.

Zhou Zheng gave a few more words and left the Ministry of Justice prison. He was so anxious to see Lu Xiangsheng, which was actually a bit risky. He was easily caught by those censors and invaded into the "club", which would affect Lu Xiangsheng even more.

When Zhou Zheng returned to the Ministry of War, Yang Sichang also came out of the palace.

In the side of the Ministry of War, Yang Sichang seemed to explain, "I thought of it for a while and didn't have time to discuss it with you."

Zhou Zheng looked at Yang Sichang's expression and felt calm, and said calmly: "Well, it's not a big deal. I have known Xiong Wencan, and I still have the ability."

Yang Sichang looked at Zhou Zheng's expression and knew that the estrangement had already occurred. He pretended to think for a moment, and said, "I have to concentrate on the matters of the Northwest. I will leave the affairs of the Ministry of War to you for the time being."

Is this compensation? Exchange?

Zhou Zheng laughed in his heart and said, "Okay."

No matter what Yang Sichang wants to do, how long can the Ministry of War be hidden under Zhou Zheng's nose?

Yang Sichang stopped talking and went back to the class room.

The short honeymoon period of the two has passed.

Zhou Zheng looked at Yang Sichang's back and his eyes flashed slightly.

Yang Sichang chose to turn against him at this time, and it seemed that he was ready.

What exactly is it?

Zhou Zheng thought about it, and was about to go out, Yao Tongshun quickly came over, glanced around, and whispered in Zhou Zheng's ear: "Sir, the news from the Tongzheng Envoy Department, the supervisory censor Dong Qing wrote a letter to impeach the Lord, arrogant and domineering in the Ministry of War, controlling authority, and wantonly cultivated trust in Liaodong, with ill intentions."

Zhou Zheng's eyes jumped unconsciously, then looked at the direction of Yang Sichang's class room, and smiled with emotion: "Our Shangshu is afraid that I will block his way, so he will eradicate me in advance..."
