Chapter 614 Harmony between ruler and minister
Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Xie Yuanfu."
After Zhou Yanru finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
Li Hengbing blocked him and said indifferently: "The lower-ranking officials will not resign. If Yuan Fu wants the Ministry of Justice, he might as well be dismissed directly. If Yuan Fu can do it."
Zhou Yanru's face suddenly looked ugly, he stared at Li Hengbing coldly, then looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "Is this your person?"
Zhou Zheng looked up at the beams of the Golden Palace and said, "Shu Li is not my person."
Zhou Yanru understood, took a deep breath, and said, "There is no other suitable position."
Zhou Zheng walked over and said, "The corruption of the government of the Ming Dynasty is the source of all evil. The subordinates thought of establishing a special clean government agency, being responsible for the cabinet, and specifically being responsible for investigating corrupt officials in the world. It is very suitable for Li Shangshu."
Zhou Yanru didn't dare to give in to Zhou Zheng easily now, for fear of stepping on the trap, and said, "There are three departments and no other integrity yamen are needed. Li Shangshu's arrangements can be considered slowly in the future."
Li Hengbing looked indifferent and said, "If the lower official does not leave, Yuan Fu's wish will not be fulfilled."
Zhou Yanru looked at Li Hengbing, turned to Zhou Zheng again, and said in a cold tone: "You have already planned it?"
Zhou Zheng looked at Chen Yan, Zhang Sizhi and others and said, "Yuan Fu, I have already given up enough."
Chen Yan and Zhang Sizhi are all related to Li Zicheng and are also rebellious. If Zhou Zheng settles the bill, Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant, cannot escape!
Zhou Yanru's face was ashen and his eyes were so angry that he could not bear it.
Chen Yan and others were afraid that these two big men would break up. The one who was unlucky would be the fish of the pond, so they hurried forward to persuade them to make peace.
Chen Yan said: "Two sirs, this clean government agency can be discussed calmly. Li Shangshu has outstanding abilities, which is not impossible."
Zhang Sizhi followed: "Yuanfu, this clean government agency can allow Li Shangshu to be the chief official, and you can arrange the deputy."
Li Rixuan, Li Jues and others also felt that they could not continue to confront each other like this, so they stepped forward one after another.
"The powers and duties of this clean government institution need to be discussed. After all, the three departments are there and cannot surpass the three departments."
"Yuanfu, this anti-corruption agency is responsible to the cabinet, which is no different from the Six Ministry and Nine Temples. There is no need to worry about disrupting the court..."
Zhou Zheng's people were so busy that they didn't come forward.
Neutral factions such as Li Banghua and Tian Zhenshu watched coldly and did not participate.
Zhou Yanru was extremely annoyed. The recent incident made him, the chief assistant, feel more and more frustrated. If he had not been reluctant to give up power, he really wanted to leave and not be angry with this bird!
A group of people persuaded Zhou Yanru at least had a step. He took a deep breath and said, "I ordered the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Justice to discuss in detail and submit a reply from the cabinet."
Zhou Zheng smiled with satisfaction and said, "What Yuan Fu said is."
Li Hengbing raised his hand and let go of the road.
Zhou Yanru shook his sleeves, turned pale and left with a big strode.
Chen Yan, Zhang Sizhi and others quickly laughed with Zhou Zheng and left.
Zhou Yanru and his group left, except for Zhou Zheng and his group, they were intermediaries such as Li Banghua and Tian Zhenshu.
Zhou Zheng looked at Li Banghua and said, "Have you read all the articles about military reform?"
Li Banghua looked tight and raised his hand and said, "Zhen Xibo, the subordinates should be rigorous. It is just about changing the military system. The subordinates need to be very cautious. Please Zhen Xibo, and please give the subordinates some time."
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "I appreciate your attitude. There is still more than a month to celebrate the New Year. I need to know your decision before the New Year, otherwise you can join the cabinet."
Once he entered the cabinet, he would lose the Ministry of War, but he was promoted. Zhou Zheng did not suppress him.
Li Banghua raised his hand and said, "Yes."
Zhou Zheng looked at Tian Zhenshu again and walked out of the palace.
Outside the palace gate, Shangguan Lie was waiting.
As soon as Zhou Zheng came out, he said with burning eyes: "Brother-in-law?"
Ding Qi, Liu Liuzhe and others all looked at Zhou Zheng. This imperial edict was just the beginning and there were still many things to do!
Zhou Zheng looked at the backs of Zhou Yanru and others, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "Take Xu Wenjue out. Tell Qian Qianyi and immediately try the case of rebellion against the nobles and ministers."
"Yes!" A group of people raised their hands and strode away. They had been furious and couldn't bear it!
Sun Chuanting stood behind Zhou Zheng and whispered: "The layout of the court must be accelerated, and the northwest side must also start."
The court was full of troubles, and gods and ghosts were constantly in trouble. We needed to be careful and at the same time we promoted their established rhythm of reform.
In the northwest, Lu Xiangsheng led nearly 200,000 troops to launch a strong attack on the rioters in various places where Li Zicheng led, constantly squeezing their living space. At present, Li Zicheng has retreated to the junction of Shaanxi and Sichuan, and used natural dangers to defend it.
Judging from the strength of both the enemy and us, the solution to the bandits in the northwest should be before the end of the year. What should we do after the resolution?
Lu Xiangsheng held an army of 200,000 in his hand, almost all the elites of the Ming Dynasty, and their position was not clear. After knowing what happened in the capital, what would he choose and what would he do?
Will he become a "loyal minister" and coerce Zhou Zheng to return the regime to the young emperor?
Zhou Zheng turned his eyes to the northwest, and waved his hand as he heard it, and said with a smile: "I can trust Jiandou. You will write down the general outline of the reform of the system, show it to me first, and then to Yuanfu. Regarding the Ming Dynasty law, we must speed up the debate. It is necessary to argue, but we cannot stagnate. If necessary, let the world discuss and listen to the opinions of the world."
Sun Chuanting listened and said thoughtfully: "Sir, our reforms will probably be opposed by the vast majority of people, and may not receive useful suggestions."
Zhou Zheng glanced at him and said with a deep meaning: "What we want is not suggestions, but people's hearts. As long as we relax the discussion, what will the future Ming Dynasty law look like will be the result of the 'people'."
Sun Chuanting immediately understood that the so-called "people's heart" can also be changed, which is "big righteousness". As long as the righteousness is in hand, you can be assured in anything you do!
"Yes, the lower official understands." Sun Chuanting said.
Zhou Zheng nodded casually and continued to move forward.
He was surrounded by a large number of guards, and he was well versed in escorts. Now, people around Zhou Zheng are worried that some people will be anxious and do extreme things, so they must arrange so many guards for him.
While Zhou Zheng was walking out of the Huangji Palace, Shangguan Lie brought a large group of imperial guards to Qianqing Gate.
Xu Wenjue had known the movement outside for a long time and was ready for it.
Seeing Shangguan Lie coming with a fierce look, he said in a deep voice: "My Xu family is a great hero who follows Taizu to establish the country and Taizong Jingnan. It is not something that anyone can move just by wanting it. Zhou Zhengyun cannot!"
Ding Qi stood beside Shangguan Lie and sneered: "You probably don't know that the eunuch in Nanjing has been replaced, and the Minister of War has also been replaced. The Ti cavalry of the Jinyiwei has arrived in Yingtian Mansion. How long can you hide your affairs?"
Xu Wenjue was a hereditary Duke of Wei. He has been entrenched in Nanjing for many years. Not to mention wealth, he can compete with a country. At least half of the enemy. Apart from plotting against rebellion, there is nothing else that dares to do or has never done before.
Xu Wenjue gave a sharp knife and said coldly: "If you want to catch me, step over my body!"
Shangguan Lie did not rush to move, and looked inside.
In the Ganqing Palace, the little emperor should be inside now.
Zhu Cilang is indeed there, accompanied by Li Zhong, Li Huazhen, and ten eunuchs.
There was a plate in front of Zhu Cilang, with a pot and a cup of wine in it.
Li Huazhen said with a blank expression: "If the accident occurs in the Qing Dynasty, it will be that the Duke of Wei is plotting a rebellion and Your Majesty dies at the hands of a thief. Afterwards, the Xibo of the Conquest will select someone from the royal family to be the emperor, just like Emperor Jiajing."
Emperor Wuzong died and had no son. The ministers and the empress dowager selected Emperor Jiajing from the royal family.
Zhu Cixuan naturally knew about his own affairs. He looked at Li Zhong and Li Huazhen with a pale face and trembling all over, and said, "Zhou Zheng, do you really dare to kill the monarch?"
Li Zhong pursed his lips, wanted to cry but dared not cry, and kept shaking his head, not knowing what he meant.
Li Huazhen was silent for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, you don't understand, Jiading Bo and Taikang Bo don't understand. The Ming Dynasty has long been the same as before. Your father wanted to kill the generals of the frontier, but he was deceived to him before taking action. You have no power and power, but you want to kill Xibo, and it is impossible to succeed."
Zhu Cixuan looked at the poisonous wine, his eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's not that I want to kill him, it's that he controls power and does not allow me to be the real emperor. What else can I do besides killing him?"
Li Huazhen shook his head and said, "Why don't you understand? You used the wrong method at the wrong time. It was Jiading Bo and the others who harmed you."
Zhu Cixuan kept staring at the poisonous wine. I wonder if he had listened to Li Huazhen's words and asked, "Is it necessary to drink it?"
Li Huazhen glanced outside and said, "Zheng Xibo wants Xu Wenjue, but he pretended not to see anything else. Your Majesty is still a saint, and the monarch and ministers are harmonious and there will be no rift."
