Yang Sichang did not look at Zhou Zheng, but was dragged away by the Jinyiwei, which attracted a slanting look in the palace.

This old master Yang has been full of energy recently, with great power in his hands, and his holy family is rumbled. How many days have they been?

Zhou Zheng was not worried, and his eyes were fixed on the gate of the Ganqing Palace, constantly analyzing the response strategies in his heart.

Such a big thing happened, Chongzhen's thoughts were unpredictable. It was related to the great cause of bandit suppression in the northwest, what decisions would the court officials and Chongzhen make?

After a while, the ministers and ministers came out one after another, looking at Zhou Zheng standing up, no one spoke, and each had his own expressions left.

Seeing that the chief assistant Zhang Zhifa had not come out, Zhou Zheng looked thoughtful. Perhaps, the palace had not made a decision yet?

At this moment, Wang Chengen came out and looked at Zhou Zheng, looking at Zhou Zheng with a smile on his face as if he was not there, and said, "Mr. Zhou, Long live to summon him."

Zhou Zheng raised his hand and said, "I'm working hard."

Wang Chengen looked at Zhou Zheng, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it, and led Zhou Zheng towards the palace gate.

In the East Warehouse Pavilion, Chongzhen sat at the imperial table, and the chief minister Zhang Zhifa stood beside him.

Zhou Zheng secretly took a breath and calmly stepped forward, raised his hand, and said, "My dear Zhou Zheng, please see Your Majesty."

Chongzhen disliked Zhou Zheng very much and was not caring to him. He was not the type he liked, but no matter how much he didn't like it now, he had to pull it out.

Chongzhen's face was still very ugly. He looked at Zhou Zheng with an unkind tone and said, "You have heard of everything, what do you think you should do?"

Zhou Zheng stood still, glanced at Zhang Zhifa, who was standing aside, and the old monk entered a meditation, and said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, Yang Shangshu's strategy is fine. Our dynasty uses hundreds of thousands of troops to suppress the bandits. Building the barbarians is a big threat and must be appeased."

Zhang Zhifa suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Zheng, his turbid eyes were shocked.

Didn't you go crazy this week? Didn't you see Yang Sichang just been imprisoned? Could it be that he is also the master of the Lord?

Zhang Zhifa frowned and looked at Chongzhen. To his surprise, Chongzhen's ugly expression actually relieved slightly.

Chongzhen felt a little comforted when he heard Zhou Zheng's words. A stiff smile appeared on his face, and disappeared in an instant, and said coldly: "I am a dignified Heavenly Kingdom, how can I negotiate peace with the barbarians! What I ask you is, the 'Tian sided net' in the northwest, what do you think you should do?"

Zhou Zheng pretended to think for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Chen Shilang in the northwest is also involved in the case. The Prime Minister is only Xiong Wencan, and he cannot command such a large-scale bandit suppression operation. Please release Lu Xiangsheng, and let him restore his post and make meritorious service on his behalf. Xiong Wencan is in charge of the northwest and Lu Xiang is in charge of the southeast. Continue to promote the "ten-sided net" to completely eliminate the bandits in the northwest and stabilize our Ming Dynasty..."

"No!"

Before Zhou Zheng finished speaking, Zhang Zhifa interrupted completely and turned to Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, Lu Xiangsheng killed Liang Feifu, is a treacherous villain. If he is reinstated again, what is the face of the court and what is the moral integrity? I heard the words of Mr. Zhou, and it seems that I will still have to negotiate with Jianlu? This is something that foreign ministers will never agree with. Please think twice!"

Zhou Zheng immediately retorted, saying: "Your Majesty, Lu Xiangsheng's incident has not been found yet, and the grievances may be even greater. As for the peace talks, if I go to the peace talks, I dare to ask Yuan Fu, will Jianlu dare to agree?"

Zhang Zhifa was about to scold him, but he couldn't say it.

The Ming Dynasty sent people to negotiate, anyone could do it, but Zhou Zheng was an exception.

Zhou Zheng killed Huang Taiji's eldest son Haoge under the city of Beijing, killed countless Jianlu in Liaodong, and even killed Yuetuo, Ajigebeile and others in Lushun. With such a deep blood hatred, Jianlu would never argue with Zhou Zheng.

Chongzhen listened to Zhou Zheng's words, and his doubts disappeared. He ignored Zhang Zhifa and asked Zhou Zheng: "Aiqing Zhou, continue talking."

Zhang Zhifa's mouth moved, and when he saw Chongzhen ignore him, he could only frown and continue standing beside him.

Zhou Zheng raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the 'Ten-sided Net' has begun, and it is absolutely impossible to give up! Please continue to advance. I am willing to guarantee Lu Xiangsheng with my life and go to the northwest to suppress the bandits. If I fail to achieve my achievements, I will never return to Beijing!"

Chongzhen looked very pine, smiled and nodded, saying, "I am most at ease when I can go to the northwest. I have given you the best sword to Shang Fang and control the army in the northwest. I hope that you will destroy the bandits and protect the country of Ming Dynasty like capturing thieves!"

Zhou Zheng raised his hand with a motionless expression and said, "I obey the order!"

Zhang Zhifa wanted to speak but stopped, but in the end he still didn't say anything.

In fact, it was something that Zhou Zheng had to lead the troops in the northwest just now that the ministers had discussed. After all, the Ming Dynasty really could not find a few people who could conquer and fight well, especially those who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops.

Sun Chengzong was okay, but the old man vowed not to take office. The others had their own difficulties, abilities, qualifications, and sufficient official positions, and only Zhou Zheng, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War.

Chongzhen stood up and took Zhou Zheng to the side hall. He had a rare meal with Zhou Zheng, and asked about various things in the Ministry of War and the northwest.

Zhou Zheng became more cautious and carefully answered the words and sentences.

Zhou Zheng was very familiar with various affairs and was very skillful. Perhaps Chongzhen asked him to suppress bandits. Chongzhen was very satisfied with his answer, and he praised him from time to time and asked a few questions, and the "Love Qing" also became "Qing Qing".

Zhang Zhifa was with him, and the newly appointed new prime minister actually looked like a spectator.

After dinner, Zhou Zheng was kept by Chongzhen for another half an hour before leaving the Qianqing Palace.

As soon as he walked out of the Qianqing Palace Gate, Zhang Zhifa caught up and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Zhengyun, I don't care what you and Yang Sichang want to do. If you dare to do something random, don't blame me for being rude!"

Zhou Zheng was very energy-consuming to deal with Chongzhen, but he didn't want to deal with the chief assistant anymore, so he had to raise his hand and said, "Don't worry, Yuanfu, the lower official is not the one who is in the main peace."

Zhang Zhi snorted coldly and said, "It's best if I catch the handle, Yang Sichang will be your fate!"

After saying that, Zhang Zhifa shook his sleeves and left with great strides.

Zhou Zheng looked at his back, breathed a long sigh, and walked away from Qianqing Palace.

Before he could return to the Ministry of War, the decree of the Qianqing Palace was even revealed.

Yang Sichang was imprisoned for "abuse of power" and "making peace with the enemy", and ordered the three officials to investigate thoroughly. At the same time, the left minister Chen Xinjia and many other officials from the Ministry of War, Honglu Temple and other officials were also implicated.

Not long after Zhou Zheng sat down, the imperial edict arrived again.

He was roughly promoted to the Minister of War, and was given the title of Prince Taibao, holding the Sword of Shangfang, controlling the army in the northwest, and in charge of the northwest bandit suppression matters, etc.

Logically speaking, this is an promotion, and it should be a celebration for everyone. Countless people came to curry favor with each other. However, Zhou was about to get off work in the Ministry of War, and there was no one else except for the officials of the Ministry of War.

In the eyes of many people, this is not a good job, but a life-threatening death!

Zhou Zheng ignored these things, and after having his identity, he began to issue orders in the name of the Ministry of War to spread to the capital and the northwest.
