Dozens of former veterans of the Tiger and Leopard Army made a big fuss with the Tiger and Leopard Army General Staff and the royal palace. For Wei Zheng, the commander-in-chief of the Tiger and Leopard Army, it can definitely be said to be a loud slap full of ridicule.

As soon as the news came, the civil and military officials in the capital focused their attention on the royal palace to see what reaction the royal palace would make...

Should I compromise or continue to carry out the rectification to the end...

Without disappointing everyone, Wei Zheng, who was in a high position, still maintained his decisive and never-saying character on the battlefield.

Chief of Staff Sun Chengzong had just left the palace less than an hour ago, and several news came out of the General Staff...

"Lieutenant Colonel General Zhang committed crimes such as false promotion, falsely reporting military achievements, and leaking military secrets of the Tiger and Leopard Army. According to the military rules and regulations of the Tiger and Leopard Army, he was shot and executed immediately... "

"Two major staff officers, whose ranks and military merits do not match, were demoted to lieutenant..."

"A colonel staff officer lied about military merits, was promoted to fraud, was expelled from the military, and was handed over to the Ministry of Justice for offense..."

In just half an hour, ten majors and officers above major were either demoted or used, or driven out of the army, or even directly questioned...

Faced with a series of bloody means shown by the General Staff, everyone knew that Wei Zheng did not compromise. Not only did he not compromise, but he also used more cruel and bloody means to tell everyone that the royal palace would definitely carry out the purge operation in front of him to the end... "

Perhaps to prove everyone's guess, the operation of the General Staff had just ended, and military advisor Zhou Shuyuan, who is the supporter of dozens of veteran Tiger and Leopard Army generals, entered the palace directly and had a secret conversation with Wei Zheng in the palace for two hours.

No one knows what Wei Zheng and Zhou Shuyuan talked about in the study.

However, what you can see is that when Zhou Shuyuan left the palace, his whole face was covered with solemnity and gloom.

As soon as he left the palace, he hurried back to his residence, and then he closed his door to thank the guests and never saw anyone again.

The Zhou Mansion Study Room has many unknown secrets hidden in it.

There are more than 100 people in the Zhou Mansion, except for the trusted butler, even Zhou Shuyuan’s wife cannot enter without permission.

So, when Zhou Shuyuan walked into the study with a gloomy face, the only old butler followed in.

Just when the old butler was about to speak and ask Zhou Shuyuan what was going on.

He was so angry that he was in the palace that he suddenly found a breakthrough.

After clenched his fist hit the desk in front of him, he shouted with dissatisfaction: "Dissolve the mill and kill the donkey, this is really a killing donkey... Could it be that I, Zhou Shuyuan, make you feel scared and worried... "

"Didn't I just develop some forces in the military? What's so amazing... Among the major standing committee members, who has not developed their own forces... Why are you just targeting me? Did I do something wrong..."

Zhou Shuyuan did not do anything wrong when he fell in love with several other Standing Committee members, and to a certain extent, he was more sincere in Wei Zheng than the other Standing Committee members.

However, he ignored one problem, that is, it is too much...

No matter when or where, a king will not allow a force under his command that is far beyond others. Because, once such a thing happens, there is no way for the king to check and balance...

The other members of the Standing Committee have much more official careers than Zhou Shuyuan, which makes them very clear about this truth.

Therefore, no matter how they expand their power, they will not reach into the Tiger and Leopard Army that Wei Zheng is particularly interested in.

At the same time, when their own power develops to a certain scale, they will take the initiative to stop and even give the cake they have already obtained to others...

Of course, Zhou Shuyuan is not clear about these things, and it is impossible to learn it in a short period of time...

It was not until Zhou Shuyuan, who was tired of scolding people and his mood and face were extremely complicated, that he sat on the stool with weakness.

At this time, the old butler finally found a chance to speak. He asked Zhou Shuyuan with concern...

"Master, is there something wrong?... I can also think of a solution for you if you tell me... It really doesn't work. Master, you can secretly call the adults to the mansion and ask them to help you think of solutions..."

Zhou Shuyuan still trusts his old housekeeper very much.

In addition, at this moment, the old housekeeper in front of him can give him some advice.

Zhou Shuyuan, who looked solemn, replied without thinking: "The prince knows all the things I did... In order to give an explanation to all the civil and military officials of the Tiger and Leopard Army, I must move..."

"The prince gave me two choices...First, continue to be the Prime Minister..."

"Of course, there is a premise... From now on, I can no longer ask about anything related to the army, nor can I develop my own power in the army... Not only that, I must give up all my confidants in the Zongli Yamen and be sent to various provinces and prefectures as deputy..."

Just as Zhou Shuyuan finished speaking, the old housekeeper refused with anger...

"No, absolutely not... Master, once you choose this path, even if you continue to be the Prime Minister, you will still be a prestige and confidant minister..."

"When the Zongli Yamen is full of several deputy prime ministers, your orders may not be transmitted from the Zongli Yamen... At that time, you will become a puppet, a prime minister who has no rights..."

Faced with the care and analysis of the old housekeeper, Zhou Shuyuan's solemn expression directly relieved a lot.

After taking a deep breath, I answered very affirmatively: "Of course I know what you said...so, I didn't agree with this choice..."

"Then, the prince told me the second choice..."

"Go to Gansu and Ningbo to serve as the governor of Gansu and Ningbo, and at the same time, he also served as the commander of the Fifth Army of the Tiger and Leopard Army... to manage all military and political affairs in Gansu and Ningbo."

"Governor Gan Ning... that's too desolate... Master, don't you have any other choice..."

"The old slave obeyed the soldiers who returned from the Fifth Army that the Gansu and Ning provinces had long become empty due to war and drought every year. Except for the army, even an ordinary person could not see it... Isn't it a burden to go to the Governor of Gansu now..."

Surprisingly, Zhou Shuyuan did not perform so fiercely in the analysis of the old housekeeper this time.

After only a brief thought, he responded: "The current Gansu and Ning provinces are indeed very desolate... Not to mention the 20,000 to 30,000 people, the tiger and leopard army cannot even support themselves..."

"But, this bad situation will not continue like this..."
