Zhou Yanru's actions naturally cannot be concealed by Zhou Zheng.

Although he reached a deal with Zhou Zheng, Zhou Zheng nodded in many things. For example, if he wanted to present this list, he would either give it to the new emperor alone. However, for such a big thing, he was too low-key and needed to be in the name of the cabinet, so Zhou Zheng's signature would be indispensable.

However, Zhou Yanru did not invite Zhou Zheng to sign, and deliberately released the news to test the reactions of the government and the people.

Except for the rebellious officials, most of the officials in the capital survived, especially those with relatively low positions. Li Zicheng had no time to loot that layer.

No matter what, after this period of rest, most officials can go to work as usual and enter the court.

This list was released, causing a stir in the capital.

Because he had surrendered to Li Zicheng, Ruan Dacheng, who was appointed as the Minister of Rites of the Dashun Dynasty, was listed and was also planned to serve as the Minister of Works!

The government and the country were naturally in a state of excitement, and many censors began to write letters to impeach Ruan Dacheng.

It was only half an hour before a rumor suddenly spread in the capital, saying that Ruan Dacheng was recommended by Zhou Zheng, who had been dating Zhou Zheng during the late emperor.

When he heard the news, Zhou Zheng was in his mansion to invite Tian Zhenshu, who had returned from the inspection tour of Nanzhili.

Tian Zhenshu and Zhou Zheng had some friendship, so they came to the door without shyness and looked at Zhou Zheng and sighed: "After separation for many years, Zheng Yun, you are already a magistrate of Zheng Xi."

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "You are so anxious to come back, don't you come and have fun, right?"

Tian Zhenshu shook his head, smiled a little reluctantly, and said, "It's too late, there's no place for me."

The good location of the Six Tribes and Nine Temples was basically divided up by Zhou Zheng and Zhou Yanru when he just recovered the capital.

It was too late to wait for the others to enter Beijing.

However, Zhou Zheng still had several positions in his hands, such as the Minister of Justice.

Zhou Zheng and Tian Zhenshu have always been a kind of "gentlemen's friendship". They are ordinary, drink alcohol regularly, and exchange some information. The views on the court have not involved any interests. Especially the fellow villagers' association behind Tian Zhenshu, which has always made Tian Zhenshu and Zhou Zheng unable to get close to each other and have some concerns.

Now, there are no people or things that make Zhou Zheng afraid. He looked at Tian Zhenshu and said with a smile: "Didn't you come to me to complain?"

Seeing that Zhou Zheng had no such caution as he had in the past, Tian Zhenshu sighed in his heart. It was a pity that they had missed this person.

If this person had been pulled into their hometown association, then their Jiangxi group would have occupied an extremely important position in the court!

Missed it!

Tian Zhenshu sighed in his heart, smiled slightly on his face, and said, "I know Ruan Dacheng is not yours. Now the court is basically Yuan Fu's person. He does this just to attack your reputation and monopolize the government."

Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup, blew his mouth, and said lightly: "Ruan Dacheng is mine."

Tian Zhenshu's expression suddenly froze, and then he said thoughtfully: "Is he the nail you buried in Li Zicheng?"

Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "He was originally mine, but he was not there later."

Tian Zhenshu understood completely at this moment and frowned and said, "So, Yuan Fu knew that he was once yours and deliberately used this person to attack you? I'm afraid it's not that simple, there are other ways..."

Zhou Zheng nodded and stopped talking.

When Zhou Zheng didn't speak, Tian Zhenshu was a little embarrassed. He coughed and said straight to the point: "Zhengyun, you have to help me once."

"Reward." Zhou Zheng said concisely.

Tian Zhenshu immediately said: "We will stand on your side, and we will be your most determined ally!"

In the eyes of Tian Zhenshu and the fellow countrymen behind him, although Zhou Zheng had made great contributions, his power in the court was too weak and he could not fight Zhou Yanru. If he wanted to gain a foothold, he needed their support!

Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "I waved my hand and there are too many people who will lean over."

Indeed, Zhou Zheng’s reputation is unprecedented and unparalleled, and some people want to surrender.

There are traffic in front of Zhou Yanru's gate, and there are still crowds of people in front of his Zhou Mansion!

Tian Zhenshu looked at Zhou Zheng, frowned and said, "I will tell you a secret and change the position of a minister."

Zhou Zheng said oh and said curiously: "What secret can you change to a minister?"

Tian Zhenshu frowned, as if he was reluctant, and said, "Zhang Sizhi, I have written a surrender to Li Zicheng. Among Li Zicheng's people, there are Jiangxi people and they have some relationship with the fellow villagers. We have obtained this surrender to him."

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Zhou Yanru used Ruan Dacheng to frame Zhou Zheng, but he probably didn't expect that his favorite disciple would have written a surrender to Li Zicheng!

If this matter is revealed, Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant, will have no shame to continue doing it.

Zhou Zheng took another sip of tea and said, "Have you found Yuan Fu?"

Tian Zhenshu's expression was slightly tightened and said, "Someone wanted to go, but I stopped him. After all, we have some friendship."

The little friendship between Zhou Zheng and him in the past cannot withstand such great political interests.

Zhou Zheng looked motionless and said, "I will give you the position of the minister, but that surrender is useless to me, so you can keep it."

Tian Zhenshu was stunned and said, "You don't want it?"

Zhang Si knew that this surrender was enough to drive Zhou Yanru back to his hometown and would never make a comeback in his life. Zhou Zheng didn't want it?

Zhou Zheng smiled faintly and said, "Before Li Zicheng entered Beijing, Yuan Fu was hidden by me."

Tian Zhen suddenly realized that if Zhou Zheng really wanted to ascend to heaven in one step and take the throne of the chief minister, he would not save Zhou Yanru at all. The reason for saving him must have another purpose!

Now it’s not that I can’t deal with Zhou Yanru, but I’m just deliberately hiding my weakness for this purpose!

Tian Zhenshu looked at Zhou Zheng deeply and said, "Thank you."

His former "gentleman friendship" with Zhou Zheng became a past tense at this moment.

Zhou Zheng watched Tian Zhen leave, shook his head secretly, and said to himself: "Here I'm back."

The sentence "I'm back again" is not only because of Tian Zhenshu and others, but because of the familiar Ming Dynasty court.

Tian Zhenshu didn't go far. Accompanied by Liu Liuzhe, a person who shouldn't have appeared appeared in Zhou Zheng's pavilion.

Li Hengbing raised his hand and said, "Congratulations to Zheng Xibo."

Zhou Zheng glanced at him and said, "Sit down."

Li Hengbing sat down opposite Zhou Zheng and said, "Why don't you? With Zhang Sizhi's surrender, you can easily pull Zhou Yanru down."

Zhou Zheng was a little confused about Li Hengbing and said, "What do you want to do?"

Li Hengbing looked at Zhou Zheng with a hot gaze, a calm and firm tone, saying: "Like you, reshape the dynasty and build the Ming Dynasty again!"

Zhou Zheng's eyes moved slightly. The purpose that Li Hengbing said was probably what countless senior officials wanted to do since Wanli and even Jiajing, from Xu Jie, Gao Gong to Zhang Juzheng, and then to the Donglin Party. Regardless of whether they succeed or the dirty things in the process, they have more or less thoughts.

Zhou Zheng's mind turned and said, "I don't need your help. You are a hidden danger to me."

Li Hengbing looked at Zhou Zheng without any fear or timidity, and said, "I will help you with no means. I can do things that you can't do and those around you can't do. The way you want to reshape the court rules must have a ruthless person and a cruel official!"

Zhou Zheng looked at him and said with some amusement: "Do you think you understand me?"

Li Hengbing looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "You are nothing more than two ways. You either want to be Cao Cao or Wang Mang. No matter which one, I can help you."

Zhou Zheng looked at him with a meaningful smile.

Li Hengbing's eyes seemed to burn, and his expression was shaking slightly without control.

But how can Li Hengbing understand Zhou Zheng? He will feel desperate for his decision today in the future.
