Chapter 12: Opportunity in Xu Youzhen's Eyes

Once, twice, three times, every time we talk about water issues, we have to think about canals.

Hebei is a little better, and even more so elsewhere.

Even if Zhu Qizhen wanted to avoid it, he had to admit one thing, the canal issue was a problem he couldn't avoid.

Since you can't avoid it, you have to find a way to solve it.

What's the solution?

It is to find an alternative to the canal, that is, the sea and the gallop.

The scale of shipping is no longer small, but in Zhu Qizhen's eyes, shipping cannot completely replace the canal. There is no other reason than risk.

In any case, shipping involves risks, not to mention other risks, and extreme weather such as typhoons alone is likely to cause great losses.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen is also not in favor of putting all modes of transportation in shipping.

This is also the reason why the canal is indispensable in the political map of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the time of the Great Movement Canal must have built a direct road from Beijing to Nanjing in Daming. and put into operation.

But now the center of gravity of the construction of the gallop road has always been on the desert.

After all, it is also very important to consolidate the newly occupied territory.

Of course, although the canal problem is big, not all sections of the canal have problems, such as the section from Yangzhou to Huai'an, which has been operating normally for many years, and there is no problem at all.

There is nothing wrong with that.

The biggest problem is the period before and after Shandong.

"Always have a complete plan." Zhu Qizhen said secretly in his heart.

Because of this, Zhu Qizhen didn't care that Ruan An was already dying, so he asked him to go out in person to explore the terrain, you must know that this is a chore.

When Zhu Qizhen decided to temporarily suppress the Weishan Lake plan, a bad news came.

Wang Zhi, who was left behind in Nanjing, died of illness.

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, his heart sank.

In a trance, he saw the bearded man who had taught him a lesson.

Sure enough, the years are ruthless, and I don't know whose house it is.

Zhu Qizhen was stunned for a while. After he ascended the throne, there were not many ministers left, and even Hu Hu resigned after the prince went out.

Now I have gone home to recuperate.

The Forbidden City doesn't seem to have changed anything, it's just people.

Zhu Qizhen immediately approved it, ordered Cao Nai to take over as the garrison in Nanjing, and asked the Ministry of Rites to speak directly to the king, hinting that he wanted to be beautiful. I want Wang Zhi to mourn after his death.

After all, the water conservancy project was not repaired well for a while, and it was useless for Cao Nai to stay in Huai'an.

That's right, Cao Nai is the minister prepared by Zhu Qizhen for Xuzhou Water Conservancy, who can control the field.

"I now know why so many emperors want to seek immortality." Zhu Qizhen put down his pen and did not deal with political affairs for a while

Interesting.

An emperor who holds real power can have almost everything, but he can't have immortality.

This is an eternal shortcoming, especially since the emperor almost asks for it, but he can't ask for it. If it weren't for Zhu Qizhen coming from the afterlife and knowing that immortality was unattainable, he would have thought of it at this moment.

"Hey------" Zhu Qizhen sighed softly. Sometimes it's not good to understand too well.

Just when Zhu Qizhen was sad for his old man going west, Xu Youzhen saw the first issue of Ming Pao.

Xu Youzhen has already looked at it over and over again, I don't know how many times. But I still look at it, and it seems that there is an infinite amount of fun in it. Let him linger.

Because he saw an opportunity to leave North Korea.

Xu Youzhen has long wanted to leave North Korea

The reason is simple: North Korea has no chance to make a contribution.

North Korea was single-handedly blocked by Xu Youzhen, he knows too well what North Korea needs? It's to calm down and let time digest everything. After a long time, even if there are still old and young people who miss Lee's Joseon, it is impossible for Lee's Joseon to come back.

So, at this time, do more wrong, do less wrong. And even the more you have, the easier it is to get into trouble.

Xu Youzhen is just staying up for time in North Korea.

For Xu Youzhen, the position of governor of North Korea is no longer a little tempting.

He wanted to get back to the center.

But how to get back, it's a big question.

First of all, his backer, Chen Xun is no longer there.

Although Chen Xun sold Li Xian a favor before he left office, Chen Xun's people are still different from Li Xian's people. Although Xu Youzhen has made great contributions to the country, his reputation among Shilin is not good.

Many people think that the methods he used in North Korea are too cruel.

Xu Youzhen doesn't care about any of this.

Because it is not these scholars who can decide his future, but the emperor. But he discovered the brutal fact that the emperor seemed to have decided that he was doing too well in Korea and wanted him to stay in Korea for a few more years.

It is normal for Zhu Qizhen to have this idea.

Annan's lessons need to be learned.

If Huang Fu or Zhang Fu had been in Annan at the beginning, Annan might not have been able to mess up.

Therefore, in Zhu Qizhen's view, there is nothing wrong with Xu Youzhen staying in North Korea for a few more years, or staying in North Korea for the rest of his life.

Although Xu Youzhen is talented, there are talented people in the world, but Xu Youzhen is not the only one.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen gave Xu Youzhen a loose official, plus treatment, rewarded gold and silver, and sealed his wife and son, but Xu Youzhen's position could not be moved.

This is placed on Xu Youzhen, Xu Youzhen is absolutely unacceptable.

How Xu Youzhen is willing to watch others rise step by step, but she herself stands still. It's just that it's the emperor who sees him like this, what can he do?

This question is Xu Youzhen

I've been thinking about it.

Sometimes, he even gave up on himself, or stayed in North Korea for more than ten years. But the desire in his heart made his restless heart always look for opportunities

And today, he felt that the opportunity had come.

As a political creature, he chewed on everything on Ming Pao over and over again, scrutinized word by word, and even memorized these articles.

In this repeated reading. Xu Youzhen saw one thing more and more clearly, that is, the disagreement between His Majesty and the cabinet, that is, the contradiction between the revision of the Da Ming Law and the two ideas of supplementing the law with examples.

Xu Youzhen immediately felt that this was an opportunity.

A great opportunity.

As long as he can help the emperor defeat the cabinet, he is afraid that he will not have a good position, and he will not be able to say that he will have a place in the cabinet in the future.

It's just not easy.

Xu Youzhen is a talented person, no one denies this, but in the cabinet, there is another person who is not talented, Li Xian and others, who are not familiar with the constitution of this dynasty.

As early as the Taizu period, in order to prevent future emperors from making mistakes, Taizu wanted to implement his will into the future generations, so he had the ancestral teachings and other contents, and established his supreme position.

And Emperor Taizong talked about the ancestral system everywhere in order to ensure his legitimacy because of the martyrdom.

Respect for the Heavenly Ancestor, these four big characters are still hanging in the Forbidden City.

The crime of changing the ancestral system, to put it ruthlessly, is enough to destroy the whole door.

It's just that for a political speculator like Xu Youzhen, risk has never been a problem. But risk alone is not enough.

He had to find a way to justify himself, only to ask for the crime of changing the ancestral system, and to say a logical reason why he had to revise the Da Ming Law.

It's a lot more difficult.

It's just that Xu Youzhen is a person. Since he had made up his mind, he did it wholeheartedly, in order to send the manuscript to Beijing on time, plus the time when the first issue of Ming Pao was sent from Beijing to North Korea.

There wasn't much time left for Xu Youzhen.

It's only about ten days.

Within ten days, this impeccable article will be made, even Xu Youzhen is very difficult, and he pushes all government affairs to his subordinate officials.

Speaking of which, the current situation in North Korea is based on not making trouble, and there is not much government affairs.

Xu Youzhen didn't sleep much for ten days, I don't know how many times he has changed, he has scrutinized repeatedly, he doesn't know how many brain cells have died, how many hairs have fallen, he only feels that he has never been so tired in the imperial examination back then. Ten days later, he finally wrote "Please Repair the Ming Huidian to Secure the Society".

Xu Youzhen felt in a trance that this was the best article he had written in his life, almost word-for-word, and he also suspected that he might not be able to write better in the future.

As a result, this big stone that hits a thousand waves with one stone is already in place.
