Chapter 505: Start

Zhou Fang did not hear the other smells in Zhou Zheng's words and said, "Dad is very busy and tired. By the way, I also heard that Dad will be transferred to the Ministry of Revenue, which is what the emperor wants."

Zhou Zheng nodded, it was not surprising.

The two brothers talked while walking, and they were all about major affairs in the court and the country.

Last year, the Zhou family was just a seventh-rank and precious small family, and in a blink of an eye it was about to become a wealthy family.

The first year of Chongzhen, January 29th.

When the court opened the dynasty, it adopted the "Mibu" method and selected three cabinet ministers, namely Qian Longxi, Lai Zongdao and Shi Fenglai.

The so-called "Mibu" is probably similar to tossing a coin, and whoever is pressed will be whoever is.

Zhou Zheng knew these things clearly in the cabinet. Seeing the issuance of edicts and officials took office one by one, he gradually felt a little nervous.

Who can completely avoid this great purge and who is the biggest winner?

Is it the New Party, the Donglin Party? Is it a neutral faction, or Chongzhen?

Zhou Zheng shook his head secretly, there was no winner, but the biggest loser - Daming.

The protracted party struggles and internal strife are constantly exhausting the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years.

And their Zhou family is at the center of this storm!

Zhou Zheng was the one who brought down Cui Chengxiu and kicked off the curtain; Zhou Qingli was also in charge of the "Wei Zhongxian case" and the "Cui Chengxiu case" and the person in charge of Zhou Qingli.

Chongzhen was in an orderly arrangement, and the January month was not over. Not only the cabinet ministers were supplemented, but Huang Liji and Feng Quan's power was greatly weakened, and almost all the officials of the six ministries were replaced.

Wang Yongguang, Minister of Personnel, Bi Ziyan, Minister of Revenue, He Ruchong, Minister of Rites, Wang Qia, Minister of War, Qiao Yunsheng, Minister of Justice, and Xue Fengxiang, Minister of Works.

Almost all the eunuchs' hardcore players were replaced, and the heads of other important departments such as Jiusi were replaced, which was so fast that they were scary!

In the capital, there was a swaying momentum that was about to come.

Jiujiang Pavilion.

Zhou Zheng only came here after get off work, and there were more than a dozen books he wanted to read on his desk.

But now he did not read a book, but sat opposite Han Cheng and drank tea.

Zhou Zheng was embarrassed to ask Han Cheng to play chess, but his chess skills were really unpredictable.

"The emperor is ready to cleanse the world?" Han Cheng took a sip of tea and smiled with Zhou Zhengdao.

Zhou Zheng knew that Qingliu and most of the scholars were looking forward to it. They had already seen some things and were very eager for Emperor Chongzhen to cleanse the world and restore the Ming Dynasty.

Recently, this voice has been particularly strong. The impeachment of the eunuch party is full of news, and even some people who are not in the court have felt this atmosphere.

Zhou Zheng knew that Han Cheng was concerned about current affairs and said, "It should not be far away."

Han Cheng's smile on his face was a little more, and he said, "I have heard of a lot of things about our new emperor. I heard that he was sleeping all night long and could listen to honest advice, distinguish right from wrong, and restrain himself and return to courtesy. It is extremely similar to Emperor Hongzhi. It is really a blessing for my Ming Dynasty!"

Emperor Hongzhi, also known as Zhengde's father, was very diligent when he was in power, which led to the Hongzhi Revival. He was an emperor who was very well-rated.

Zhou Zheng was silent for a moment, smiling and silent.

Han Cheng looked at his expression and was a little confused, but he didn't think much about it, saying, "Your Jiujiang Pavilion is already on track, and the Shilin reputation is very good. Last time, Han Yu told me that you are a talented person in the cabinet's Secretariat and are planning to recommend you to work in Nanzhili."

As Chongzhen's signs of attacking the eunuch party became more and more obvious, many people paid attention to Zhou Zheng, the beginning, and many people wanted to use him to build momentum and become one.

Zhou Zheng didn't know if Han Yu had this idea, but he had no intention of going to Nanzhili.

"Students plan to go to Yongping Mansion." Zhou Zheng said.

Han Cheng had actually understood something before. He nodded slightly and said, "It is inevitable that Donglin Zhengren will rise again. You have made too many enemies in the court and the country, and the position of Ling Zun is even more dangerous. Be careful."

Zhou Zheng knew what Han Cheng meant and leaned forward and said, "Thank you for your advice, sir."

Just as Zhou Zheng was chatting with Han Cheng, a memorial from the eunuch in Nanjing, Liu Zheng suddenly exploded in the court.

Liu Zheng is also a member of the eunuch party, but the one he impeached was Wei Zhongxian. In this impeachment memorial, he explained in detail how Wei Zhongxian deceived Emperor Tianqi, poisoned concubines, and killed the descendants of Tianqi.

As soon as this memorial was released, the temperature in the entire capital seemed to drop by more than ten degrees!

It was already cold and cold, and this memorial made the huge capital city seem to be frozen.

Huangfu, main hall.

Huang Liji sat on the top, with Feng Quan, Zhou Yingqiu, Wu Chunfu, Xu Dahua and others on both sides. They are now "stayed in Beijing and waited for use". In fact, they are dismissed and cannot leave Beijing.

The movements of the Ganqing Palace became more and more obvious, and they could no longer wait as anxiously as before.

Feng Quan glanced at the other people and said to Huang Liji: "Yuanfu, we must find a way. Now the government and the public are impeaching us. We cannot sit and wait for death..."

Wu Chunfu lost his previous arrogance and confidence, and stretched out his head and said, "Yuanfu, what is the emperor's attitude? Could he want to overturn the case for Donglin?"

More and more Donglin Party has entered Beijing, and some people have even revived directly, not caring about the attitude of the government and the opposition, and the meaning is already very obvious.

To overturn the case for Donglin, that is to decide the case for the eunuch party!

Xu Dahua was dismissed from his post for a long time. He looked at Huang Liji and said, "Yuan Fu, I heard that Luo Yangxing has made Tian Ergeng's case solid. I don't know how much he has recruited..."

Although the eunuchs seem to be irrelevant, they are all closely related to Wei Zhongxian. If Tian Ergeng recruits Wei Zhongxian's secret affairs, they will inevitably be implicated.

Everyone said everything, and they all hit Huang Liji.

In their opinion, Huang Liji is still the assistant and the commander of the court officials. There are not yet those who can challenge his position.

This is their opinion, but no one can understand Huang Liji's situation.

Huang Liji sat expressionlessly, his heart extremely heavy.

With the increase of cabinet ministers, his power is losing, especially the substitution of the six ministries, and the jurisdiction of the Sili Superintendent, Huang Liji's power is increasingly undermined.

Sun Yuanhe looked at Huang Liji and said, "Yuanfu, will Liu Zheng's memorial be...?"

He didn't finish his words, but he understood the meaning very clearly.

This is also the reason why everyone came here today. Everyone looked at Huang Liji with bright eyes.

Just as Huang Liji was about to speak, a butler suddenly came hurriedly and said, "Master, the emperor announced that you will enter the palace."

For some reason, everyone here was shocked and looked at Huang Liji together.

Huang Liji also had a very bad premonition in his heart. He breathed a sigh of relief, slowly stood up, and said, "You guys wait for me to come back."

Everyone didn't say anything, looking at Huang Liji's back, their faces were solemn and their eyes were constantly flashing.

They were really scared, even more fearful than when Wei Zhongxian died!

In the palace of Ganqing.

Zhu Youjian looked at Huang Liji, concisely and said without any rejection: "Wei Zhongxian is planning a rebellion, I ordered you to investigate and arrest all the gangsters immediately!"
