Due to the big victory, the crisis in the capital has been lifted, the tension of the two days of tension immediately returned to the previous liveliness, at dusk all kinds of shouting and selling voices rise and fall with each other, a prosperous scene, as if the big war in the day has never happened, Yang Zheng smiled bitterly: "The people of the capital are really adaptable, this is the end of the war, this is the beginning of busy, people are very admirable?" “

A cadre returned to the palace, Zhu Zhanjun immediately let people serve a banquet, Yang Zheng and the others fought from morning to dusk, and they were already so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs.

The other officials also knew that they were the heroes of tonight, and they didn't have any opinion on their move, after all, they killed 10,000 Tatar cavalry, and it was not a big deal to eat more food at the celebration banquet, so no one said anything, and when he saw that the meal was almost eaten, Zhu Zhanjun said some words of praise.

Yang Zheng really didn't have a good impression of these words, drank a few sips of noodle tea, and said vaguely: "The prince is too full of words, these Tartars have suffered such a big loss this time, they may not be willing to give up, these people and horses in the capital alone can't resist the Tartars, in case the Tartars attack in a big way, you can't pin on such a scene anymore, so the prince still quickly asks His Majesty to return to the capital At this time, besides, this time the Tartars can attack all the way to Beijing City, there must be many spies, the prince still quickly uses your strength, Check out the suspicious elements, or give Beijing a stability, and the Tartars have retreated, Datong City must be the prince immediately send someone to understand the situation, merits need to be rewarded and punished, if not, wait for the emperor to return to the capital to ask, I'm afraid that you and I will not be able to explain? “

Zhu Zhanjun hurriedly said: "What Lord Yang said is that this king will send someone to do it!" In fact, these two things have already been sent by the king to do it, and the situation in Datong has been clear, as for the emperor's side, the king has also sent someone to send the news, I think it won't take two days, and His Majesty will be able to return to the capital, right? ”

Yang Zheng said: "It's so best!" ”

Yang Zheng and Zhu Zhanjun in order to prevent the Tartars from attacking again, from the second day of the war, they sent the capital to closely investigate the Tartars' every move, and learned that the Tartars still have the intention of moving troops on a large scale, which made the two of them extremely nervous, and the capital also began to strengthen the defense, and those princes, the guards and guards of the big officials did not put them back, but in the training of Zhang Yi and Jin Yixiao, they were proficient in the Mandarin Duck formation, in such a tense atmosphere, two days passed, Finally received the news from Jinyiwei that Zhu Zhanji's army had arrived in Beijing.

As soon as the news was returned, the two immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the courage on their shoulders suddenly lightened a lot, and at dusk on the second day, Zhu Zhanji's army finally arrived at Fengtianmen.

When the news came, Zhu Zhanjun personally led the civil and military officials who stayed behind to feel that they were greeted outside the Fengtian Gate, and Zhu Zhanji, who returned from a great victory, was full of joy, and immediately personally sacrificed to heaven and earth, the temple, and held a banquet to thank Sheji, and the ministers also shouted wisely, but when the eyes of the civil and military officials fell on Zhu Gaoxu's father and son, they were immediately unhappy. But when he heard the eunuch coming to report, the ministers knelt down outside the Taihe Gate, asking the emperor to listen to the government.

Zhu Zhanji didn't know what was going on, but after all, he had just returned to the court, and he was afraid that something big had happened in the capital crisis this time, which caused the dissatisfaction of the ministers, so he came out like this, and he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately set up the Taihe Gate.

In front of Taihe Gate is a large square, and the Inner Jinshui River meanders from west to east. There are five stone bridges on the river, which are commonly known as the Inner Jinshui Bridge. On both sides of the square are neatly arranged corridors, which are known as the east and west courts, and there are Xiehe Gate (Ming Dynasty called Huiji Gate) and Xihe Gate (Ming Dynasty called Guiji Gate) east and west confrontation. The east corridor was used as a record hall, a jade hall and a living note hall in the Ming Dynasty, and the west corridor was used as a hall for the compilation of the "Ming Huidian" in the Ming Dynasty.

This was originally the place where the emperor of the Ming Dynasty listened to the government, when the throne was set up in the entrance hall, the emperor came to listen to the minister's recital, and made relevant decisions, this kind of expression of the emperor who ascended the throne was diligent in government affairs An important way called "the imperial gate listens to the government", this way has been formulated when Zhu Yuanzhang opened the country in Nanjing. Later, the method of moving the capital to Beijing was not adopted by Zhu Di, but at that time, the three major halls of the former dynasty were called Fengtian Palace, Huagai Hall and Jinshen Palace. However, less than 100 days after Zhu Di's new palace handled government affairs, the first three halls were destroyed by fire. Zhu Di did not dare to rebuild it for fear of "going against the will of heaven", so he had to take Fengtianmen (now Taihemen) as the important place for the emperor to stay in court and listen to the government, and as the ancestral rule.

As soon as Zhu Zhanji's holy car arrived at Taihe Gate, he heard a shout, and his heart was a little unhappy, but it was not easy to attack in such a solemn place, and he snorted: "Let them in!" “

Wang Zhen answered, and immediately shouted at a sharp voice: "Xuanwen and Wu hundred officials are here!" The voice passed through the guards one by one, and after a while the cry gradually became much quieter, and after a while it was inaudible.

According to the rules, the Imperial Gate Hearing is held in the early morning of a regular day. At that time, the noon gate will beat the drum, and the ministers of civil and military affairs will enter the door from the left and right sides of the noon gate, and will be arranged on both sides in front of the Taihe gate according to the grade. When the emperor ascends to the throne, the whip is sounded, and the ministers kneel and bow three times, and the ministers of the six ministries of Jiuqing perform or present the folds in turn, and the emperor makes relevant decisions. After the recital, the imperial history corrected the etiquette, sounded the whip, the emperor drove back to the palace, and the hundred officials withdrew. The court ritual system is extremely strict, and the ministers are not allowed to make noise, whisper, cough, spit, etc., otherwise they will be dealt with strictly with faux pas, this set of rules in Zhu Yuanzhang's time, did not dare to violate half a point, but after Emperor Jianwen, Yongle, and Hong Xi, the rules are still rules, but they are much looser than when Hong Wu.

After about a cup of tea, the officials who came to perform the work waited in the square in front of the door, and then the officials of the ministry and the ministry climbed the east steps one after another to report to the emperor in the pre-arranged order, instead of going forward collectively together, which also reflected the professionalism of the work and prevented unnecessary information diffusion. Of course, it is also convenient for the emperor to hear clearly, Zhu Zhanji is sitting on the dragon chair, and the dragon eyes quickly glanced at this time, and when he saw the judicial organ that came to do the work, he secretly said in his heart: "Could it be that Junior Brother Yang offended these ministries when I was away?" “

"What do you Aiqing have to say?" Zhu Zhanji asked coldly.

As soon as the words fell, Jin Chun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, immediately stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Back to the emperor, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, is plotting to endanger the sect, and he is a great rebel, and it is advisable to correct the national code, thinking that it is the ring of rebellious ministers and thieves." His voice was loud, and when these few words came out, everyone on the field heard them clearly, and many of them nodded their heads in agreement.

When Zhu Zhanji heard this, he first secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then a burst of surprise welled up in his heart, this Jin Chun is a native of Sizhou Renxin Situ Yingshanji (now Yingshan Village, Longji Township, Sihong County), whose ancestors have practiced medicine for generations, and is a famous medical family in Sizhou. Since Jin Chunshi, his father Jin Wenbing ordered him to enroll in Confucianism. Jin Chun was bright since childhood, diligent and studious, and in the twenty-five years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, he entered Taixue with excellent results in the township school and state school, and studied Confucian classics in the highest institution of learning in the Ming Dynasty.

Hongwu 30 years, after reading Taixue, and with outstanding talent by the Ministry of Shangshu Du Ze fancied, recommended by Du Ze, Ming Tai ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang Feng Jin Chun for the Ministry of Literature Anthology Langzhong, since then, Jin Chun into the career, (Hongwu, Jianwen, Yongle, Hong Xi, Xuande), served in three (Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Crime) Shangshu, and the most talked about in Yongle nine years, was ordered to be responsible for the management of the Huitong River and the dredging project of the Yellow River in the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Song Li.

Huitong River was originally an ancient canal, the northern section is the old canal between the Weihe River and the Yellow River in Shandong, the middle section is the canal between the Yellow River and Zhaoyang Lake, and the southern section has been blocked for a long time. The river was founded in the 26th year of Yuan to Yuan Dynasty, the ditch is dug from the southwest of Anshan, Liangshan County, Shandong Province today, reaches Linqing in the north, connects the Jeju River to divert Wen water to the north, and sends down the Yu River (now Wei River), it is more than 250 miles long, and 31 sluices are built to store water potential. The river is named "Huitong", and the ships from the south do not need to go far to the Bohai Sea, and can go directly to Gyeonggi through this river.

Later, in the second year of Yuan Taiding, successively in the north from Linqing, south to Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, the construction of barrage, pass ship stone lock, then this section of the road including Ansan north of the Huitong River, Ansan, the bridge between the Jeju River, Luqiao, Xuzhou between the Surabaya collectively called the Huitong River. However, due to the unstable water source, the river is shallow and astringent, and it is not overloaded, during the Yuan Dynasty, the river failed to play a role, and the northern transportation of grain was still mainly by sea, and it was abandoned in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty. By the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the Huitong River had been silted up by a third. Because the grain from the south to the north had to be transported as far as the Bohai Sea, this had a great impact on the development of the country's economy at that time.

After the establishment of the Zhu Ming Dynasty, in order to consolidate its central power and vigorously develop the economy, in the ninth year of Yongle, Chengzu Zhu Di ordered Jin Chun and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Song Li to govern the river to smooth the transportation channel, shorten the distance of the north-south Cao Yun, open up the main artery of economic development, and ensure the normal passage of water transportation. After Jin Chun and Song Li took office, they went deep into the field, surveyed along the way, and listened carefully to the opinions of all parties.

On the basis of a comprehensive investigation, a detailed analysis and study of various opinions, and finally the use of the old man Bai Ying in Wenshang County, Shandong Province, to build a dam to curb water, divert water transportation, build a sluice gate to save water, and at the same time build a water tank and a steep gate to protect the water source. According to the above plan, after more than half a year of hard work, in July of that year, the old road of the Huitong River was dredged, so that the transportation channel was unblocked, and from then on, the southern Cao ship no longer had to go far to the Bohai Sea, but from the Huitong River to all parts of Beijing.

From the seventh year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty to the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Caoyun relied on the Huitong River, and about four million Shicao Yuntong Guò this river every year, and the Huitong River became the main artery of the national economy at that time. With the opening of the Huitong River and the re-establishment of the Huitong River Channel, Shandong, Henan and other regions along the canal have also prospered.
