Chapter two hundred and fifty sixth
Han Cheng listened and said, "Okay, I'll find some more people to come, which can be considered doing something."
When Zhou Zheng heard this, he quickly raised his hand and said, "Thank you, sir."
Qingwang is actually divided into two types: one is ‘official reputation’ and the other is ‘scholar reputation’. Many bigwigs are one of the two. Zhou Zheng is now involved in Cui Chengxiu and has ‘official reputation’. If Han Cheng is willing to help, Zhou Zheng will open up ‘scholar reputation’.
Several other old men smiled and said, "This is a big deal. There are only a limited number of people that Old Man Han can call. I will find it for you, so there must be more than him!"
"Can you have more than me?"
"What a great thing to say? If you want to say too much, that's me, Zhengyun, you, Jiujiang Pavilion, leave me a room and I'll live there!"
"Leave a few rooms for me. My unfilial disciples know that I am here, so they must come every day..."
...
These people are all like Han Cheng, who are not a literary giant. Zhou Zheng was naturally very happy to hear that they were willing to come and raised his hands to thank him.
Han Cheng kept smiling and didn't talk much.
Zhou Zheng also noticed that Han Cheng was a little strange today, and there were not many people asking.
A group of people wandered around Jiujiang Pavilion and imagined the future, and were quite excited.
This kind of selfless behavior of open book collection and openness to scholars all over the world really made them admire and wanted to do their best.
After leaving Jiujiang Pavilion, Zhou Zheng invited them to have another meal. At the dinner table, Zhou Zheng talked about the future. All the children in the Ming Dynasty could study, and in the future, all the Ming Dynasty would be scholars. How would the literary style flourish?
Such scenes were a kind of "dream" in the past. Now Zhou Zheng has put in his efforts, which naturally makes Han Cheng and others happy and say a lot of words that praise Zhou Zheng.
When the banquet ended and Zhou Zheng gave Han Cheng, he asked, "Sir, have any worries?"
Han Cheng was stunned, then smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that some things touched Jiuzang's emotions. By the way, how are you doing in the officialdom?"
Zhou Zheng didn't know what touched Han Cheng and said, "The officialdom is more chaotic than when he was the last emperor. Everyone is in danger, and the country is more difficult."
Han Cheng walked slowly and said, "Your 'public heart' is the only one I have seen in recent years. The people of Donglin 'recited to take the world as their own responsibility' is actually a kind of selfishness, monopolizing power, excluding dissidents, and being trapped in party struggles and unable to extricate themselves. The eunuchs are all selfish and have no intention of doing the country and cannot put their hopes on it. I hope you can keep this Qingming Festival, reach a high position in the future, and never forget your original aspirations."
Zhou Zheng thought about Han Cheng's words and said, "What Mr. teaches me."
Han Cheng glanced at Zhou Zheng and said, "I heard that Han Yu has also entered Beijing?"
Han Yu, Tianqichu, replaced Ye Xianggao as the chief minister, but soon resigned due to the eunuch party.
Now, Ye Xianggao wrote a letter to the new emperor, while Han Yu chose to go to Beijing.
Zhou Zheng did not hide it and said, "Yes, the students heard that they had entered Beijing, but they had never seen it."
Han Cheng said: "Han Yu and I are my family and have had many years of friendship. I have a letter. If you encounter difficulties, you can go to him."
As he said that, Han Yu took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng was a little stunned and hurriedly took it over and said, "I'm sorry, Mr.
Han Cheng smiled, with his hands behind his back, and said, "I am not suitable to be an official. I am worried about the chaos in the temple outside the temple. I will do my best to talk about it."
Zhou Zheng vaguely understood, and looked pondering and didn't say anything.
If Han Cheng had become an official, with his reputation, he might be a minister or a minister of the Nine Temples.
Of course, literary masters like Han Cheng will never become an official if they are devoted to researching and researching all their lives. They have an extremely clear understanding of themselves.
Han Cheng waved his hand and said, "Just say it casually, I'm going back. Please inform me before the business opens."
"Sir, please give me a gift." Zhou Zheng quickly raised his hand.
Han Cheng came on foot and walked away, and didn't care much, so Shi Shiran left.
Zhou Zheng looked at his back and picked up the letter in his hand.
This is written by Han Cheng to Han Xuan.
Han Xuan and Ye Xianggao were old ministers of the three dynasties. During the Wanli period, they were the chief ministers and the cabinet ministers, and they retired one after another at the beginning of the Tianqi period.
These two people are also from Donglin and have a high prestige in Donglin. Especially after Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong, Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others died, they were the leaders of Donglin.
Zhou Zheng knew that Ye Xianggao, Han Xuan and others would rise up one after another, but would leave quickly, as if they were short-lived.
Zhou Zheng received the letter, watched Han Cheng's back disappear, and then turned around and left.
Zhou Zheng was busy with his affairs. Mr. Zhou was as busy as Zhou Fang, and he didn't return home for four or five days in a row.
It was not until late at night on September 8 that the two of them came back with a look of fatigue.
In the pavilion, Zhou Zheng poured tea for the two of them, looked at their tiredness and asked, "Is the palace so busy?"
Zhou Fang took a sip of tea and no longer had the excitement he had before and said, "The Emperor is sorting out the entire court, especially the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Revenue, and Ministry of War. There are too many things and we don't have enough people. One person is worth ten people..."
Zhou Qingli glanced at Zhou Fang and said lightly: "The emperor has ambition, and I am the blessing of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhou Zheng heard the subtitle of Mr. Zhou's words. After this period of time, the new emperor finally slowly showed his threads and could not hide his movements and signs. Zhou Qingli, as a close minister, saw clearly.
Zhou Zheng thought about the next change in the court and said, "How is the relationship between the emperor and the eunuch Wei?"
Before Zhou Qingli could speak, Zhou Fang hurriedly said, "Wei Zhongxian is very respectful to the emperor. He goes to greet the emperor from time to time, and he is very obedient."
Zhou Qingli said nothing, picked up the teacup and drank tea.
Zhou Zheng looked at Mr. Zhou's expression and could vaguely guess something.
The new emperor has only taken over some key places in the palace by "adjust etiquette". As for other places, it is still in the hands of Wei Zhongxian. The new emperor did not rush to rectify the palace. After all, Wei Zhongxian is still there, and the new emperor is still tolerant.
Both sides were quietly testing each other and in a delicate state of balance.
After Zhou Fang finished speaking, he suddenly said, "By the way, the tide in the court has been surging recently. I heard that someone would recommend you to the cabinet."
Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows. These people were really afraid that he would die slowly.
He was dismissed from office and was idle. In addition, he participated in Cui Chengxiu and his prestige was as high as a peak. Although Shilin praised him very much, the court, I don’t know how many people were involved in digging holes for him. Even more so, they were just to praise him!
Zhou Qingli raised her head and looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "Do you want to leave Beijing and hide?"
When Cui Chengxiu fell, the calm situation was broken, like a pot of boiling hot water. Not to mention that Zhou Zheng was easily splashed even outside the pot.
Zhou Zheng thought for a while and said, "No, if you don't help, just stay in prison for a while. Now no one will go to extremes and take my life."
Zhou Zheng is in the center of the storm. He is about to die. I don’t know how many people are going to be unlucky. The more they hate him, the more cautious they will be. After all, there are so many fools like Cui Chengli.
Zhou Qingli didn't say anything more and said, "The emperor proposed to see you again, but I can't stop him. I'm afraid he will summon you in a while."
Zhou Zheng was not surprised, but he still didn't want to contact Chongzhen. He pondered for a while and said, "Then I'm ready to prepare."
Zhou Qingli said, "If you change your mind and want to enter the government, you must notify me in advance."
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "I know."
Zhou Zheng glanced at Zhou Fang and said, "Be careful, it is best not to meet people from Zhou Yingqiu's family."
Zhou Fang's mouth moved and he didn't say anything.
