Wang Erlang is very busy!

The Wang family's meeting room has almost become a court and political meeting room.

Gong Hong, an old minister who is over seventy years old, did not expect that one day, he would come to visit a young man.

Wang Yuan was enthusiastic and arched his hand: "Gong Xiantai, please take a seat." ”

"I don't dare to be called a constitutional platform," Gong Hong returned the salute, and said a little awkwardly, "Wang Shilang, the old man has no other intentions here, I just want to ask you to help deliver a concerto." ”

Wang Yuan asked, "I don't know what Gong Xiantai played?" ”

Gong Hong replied: "The old governor has been in the river for four years, and now the Yellow River is in danger. Since the early years of Zhengde, the Yellow River has continued to migrate northward, and two of the three embankments built that year are now unusable. The old man wanted to take advantage of the water to build an embankment to prepare for the washing, but he was worried that the mountains and rivers would flow into Henan and flood from the two embankments that had been decided. At that time, the water of the Yellow River will return to its original path into the sea and the whole river, rushing vertical and horizontal and uncontrollable, Henan and Shandong thousands of miles will become a country. ”

"This is a big deal, Gong Xiantai, please speak freely." Wang Yuan instantly looked at it.

Gong Hong continued: "The old man suggested that from Changyuan from Huanglinggang to Yangjiakou, Shandong, build a levee more than 200 miles long, 100 feet wide, and 15 feet high. Then, ten miles away from this embankment, another embankment of the same kind was built. In this way, even if the Yellow River overflows and rushes through the old embankment, there will be ten miles of land as a buffer, so as not to cause greater disasters. Wait for the water to fall after autumn, and then repair the old embankment, which can form the old and new five embankments! ”

Wang Yuan asked in surprise: "The Yellow River is so dangerous, I can't wait for the water to fall in the autumn and then repair the old embankment?" ”

Gong Hong shook his head and said, "Can't wait." Of the three embankments in Huanglinggang, two have been broken, and one is in danger. If there is abundant rain this year, the Yellow River will surely burst, and millions of people will be flooded. ”

Wang Yuan asked again: "The Yellow River is so dangerous, why do you think about building a dam now?" ”

Gong Hong smiled bitterly: "At the beginning of the old governor's river, he thought about repairing the old embankment. But in the first year, His Majesty fought in the border town, and the imperial court could not spare money and grain to repair the river. In the second year, King Ning rebelled, and the money and grain were used to quell the rebellion. In the third year, His Majesty toured the south, the imperial concubine in Beijing was in charge, and the six cabinet departments fought together, and the matter of building the river was indecisive for a long time. Last year, His Majesty finally returned to Beijing, but encountered major disasters in various provinces, and the imperial court had no money to clean up the Yellow River. Wang Shilang, I really can't delay it any longer, the only remaining embankment is not easy to carry for a few years. ”

Wang Yuan asked again: "Have you handed over a chapter to the cabinet?" ”

Gong Hong replied: "Yes, the cabinet sent it to the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry has already discussed (agreed)." The officials of the engineering and household departments came out to obstruct them, saying that the old man was alarmist, and even insinuated that the old man wanted to make money by controlling the Yellow River. In the end, the cabinet approved and asked the old man to reformulate the plan and press the silver for river control to less than 300,000 taels. ”

Most of the six branch officials are young and young, and the number one is only the seventh grade, but their power is extremely great.

What the six departments want to do, if they are collectively opposed by the six departments, they will enter a state of repeated ridicule. This is a typical system of small and large, and it is the supervision of the power of the six departments, and Zhang Juzheng relied on the six departments to completely control the court.

However, the six departments are full of a large number of angry youths, and there are countless people waiting for meritorious promotion, often jumping out for impeachment for no reason. Many of them lack experience and ability to understand the thoughts of the bigwigs, resulting in the blind delay of major national affairs.

During the Zhengde period, the six sections, like the cabinet, had not yet been completely strengthened, but there were already signs of it.

Wang Yuan accepted Gong Hong's recital, and did not immediately go to the leopard room, but looked for Huang Ke and Li Qi to inquire about Gong Hong's information.

Li Li commented: "Compared with Gong Yuanzhi (Gong Hong), I am not as talented and virtuous. Gong Yuanzhi's talent and morality are more than ten times better than mine, and this gentleman can be trusted and used. ”

Huang Ke commented: "When Gong Yuanzhi was the governor of Beizhili, there would be no rebellion of Liu Liu and Liu Qi. This person can be in politics, can do things, and can stop the army. ”

Well, according to the two of them, it can probably be summarized as: Gong Hong, Zi Yuanzhi, Politics: 90, Intelligence: 80, Stunt: An Min.

With Gong Hong's ability and qualifications, he is qualified to be a left waiter. But his starting point is too low, he is not from the Hanlin Academy, and he doesn't even touch the six subjects and six departments.

But Gong Hong's political achievements are too beautiful, and he was transferred to the Criminal Department within a few years, and he was valued by the big man because of his political achievements, and he was actually promoted to Wenxuan Shilangzhong. Then he was unlucky, because he was iron-faced and selfless, he offended too many people, and even the big guy couldn't keep it, so he was thrown to the local prefect and soon participated in politics all the way. Later, Ding Wei went home, simply stopped being an official, and lived in his hometown for thirteen years.

Until the fall of Liu Jin, he was activated by Li Dongyang, and he has been moving around the place, and his current position is the right deputy imperial envoy, the governor of the river, and the canal.

It's a pity that this person is already seventy years old, and Wang Yuan won't be able to use it for a few years if he wants to.

Wang Yuan immediately went to the leopard room to face the saint and took out Gong Hong's recital: "Your Majesty, the stakes are very high, and the minister has to convey it beyond the rules. ”

Zhu Houzhao casually browsed and asked, "What does the cabinet say?" ”

Wang Yuan replied: "The cabinet thinks that the silver consumption is too much, so Gong Yushi redefines the method of saving. But Gong Yushi said that there is only one embankment left in Huanglinggang that can be used, and whether it will break down is all up to luck. If it can be treated as soon as possible, it will be treated as soon as possible, otherwise in the event of a large flood, the water transportation will have to be interrupted for at least half a year. ”

"Then let the household department and the Ministry of Industry allocate money." Zhu Houzhao gave Wang Yuan a lot of face.

However, Zhang Yong and Yang Tinghe were angry because it did not conform to the process.

A note, without going through the cabinet and the celebrant supervisor, was actually handed directly to the emperor, where did this put the cabinet and the celebrant supervisor?

Wang Yuan, ruined the imperial court system!

The officials of the Daoist Dynasty almost attacked it in groups, and Wang Yuan seemed to have become "Jiang Bin's second".

A month later, Tang Xun suddenly came to Wang Yuan in a huff: "Wang Shilang, Yang Ting and this person have a personal vendetta, and they want to start a party dispute!" ”

"What's wrong?" Wang Yuan asked.

Tang Xun explained: "This year's Shu Jishi disbanded ahead of schedule, and all the people who stayed in the Hanlin Academy were the Yang Party, and the people who stayed in the Six Departments, the Six Ministries, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were also somewhat related to the Yang Party. And I and the disciples of the physics school were all put out of the place, which is not even cheeky! ”

Yang Tinghe had already turned his face and retaliated against Wang Yuan for bypassing the cabinet and handing over the chapter.

The Gits are all future elites and the central successors of the key training. Yang Tinghe chose to cut off the roots directly, and squeezed out the Guizhou scholars and physics disciples from the court at the beginning, so that Wang Yuan could not slowly cultivate his henchmen.

Wang Yuan wanted to laugh out loud, he broke the rules and handed over the chapter, and he was inevitably a little worried in his heart, it was normal to attract civilian attacks.

Unexpectedly, Yang Tinghe also broke the rules, so wouldn't everyone be even?

Generally speaking, the proportion of the monks who stayed in the Hanlin Academy was about 30% to 40%. If you can't stay in the Hanlin Academy, you should also be assigned to be a Beijing official, and if you throw away the six ministries, it will be considered a grievance, and it is normal to be a science and Taoist official. And the release is a special case, either because he disobeyed the officials, or offended the emperor, or he was involved in party disputes.

Any Shu Ji Shi who was released belonged to the focus of attention, and Yang Tinghe actually released all the Shu Ji Shi who were related to Wang Yuan.

What is it called?

The party is the same!

The number of recitals to impeach Wang Yuan has decreased sharply, and the number of recitals to impeach Yang Tinghe has increased, and Yang Gelao's hand is equivalent to provoking all officials from the Ji Shi background.

Wang Yuan sometimes thinks that Yang Tinghe is actually quite cute, and he is definitely not the kind of person who is scheming.
