Chapter 616: The Flood Is Coming

saw Zhang Juzheng stand up. The person who was still wondering if he was going to stand up and say a few words calmed his mind. Although they also have something to say. It's not too big, it's not too big. But now that Zhang Juzheng has already stood up. Then the others will naturally die down. Today's court. Who dares to be in the limelight with Zhang Juzheng. Besides, Zhang Juzheng is not a person who will find trouble. If he had come forward. What is said must also be important. At the very least, it's not boring.

Today, though. After Zhang Juzheng stood up. It's still very eye-catching. Why. This morning, after all. Almost everyone in the DPRK knows about it. He and Zhang Fan have already completed the "Examination Method". Now Ge Shouli is being asked to lobby the ministers of the court. I want them to agree. At the very least, don't object.

That's what just happened for a long time. How could these people who were here forget? So. Right now. Zhang Juzheng walked out like this. And it's not like it was before. didn't care at all about Zhu Yijun, who was sitting on the throne, and faced the ministers. This time, Zhang Ju was standing in the center of the main hall. looked at Zhu Yijun with a serious face.

This has to make the officials think in their hearts. Zhang Ju is really in such a hurry. Now even Ge Shouli is helping him lobby his ministers. But it's only a matter of time. And he is going to tell Zhu Yijun now.

See here. Even if it's Ge Shouli. and even Zhang Fan, who knows more about this matter. They were all very surprised by this. Ge Shouli is better. Although Zhang Juzheng did this, he didn't trust him. But there is another way to solve the problem.

Now that Ge Shouli has agreed to Zhang Juzheng. Helped him lobby the ministers. And he's already done that this morning. Although it is only a moment of effort. Those who listened to Ge Shouli's words could not accept it immediately. Even agree. But Ge Shouli's identity and what he said in the morning also made those people not immediately object. Instead, I thought about it.

Maybe. What Zhang Juzheng asked for was just such a moment of hesitation and blankness. There is such a void for those who have been opposed to him. Seize this opportunity and hurry up to play Zhu Yijun. I want the court to pass it.

And aside. Zhang Fan, who is very familiar with Zhang Juzheng. In fact, I thought of such a possibility. But he didn't insist. It didn't take long to give up on the idea.

Of course. It's not that that's impossible. Merely. In that case. There's so much uncertainty in the process. After all, what Zhang Juzheng was facing was not anything. It's people. And people's hearts are unpredictable. It's not something you can guess by taking it for granted.

Outside the noon gate in the morning. It was indeed to see the thoughtful and hesitant faces of those who had spoken to Ge Shouli. But the hesitation wasn't really because of that. Perhaps deep down those people are still very much against the "Examination Law". At that time, the hesitation and thinking were just because the person who told them was Ge Shouli.

Zhang Fan understands Zhang Juzheng's needs in this matter. That has to be infinitely close to perfection. It's a style of guesswork and luck like this. It's definitely not like Zhang Juzheng's person. It will not be Zhang Juzheng's attitude towards this matter.

Since this is not the case. Then Zhang Juzheng stood up at this time for another purpose. Zhang Fan didn't know what he wanted to say. But as long as it's not that thing. It doesn't matter. After all, there is no time yet. And. Zhang Juzheng is a member of the Cabinet First Auxiliary University. Things in the pavilion are also quite busy. Maybe he came out this time to say something that is a major national event.

But Zhang Fan wasn't too worried about anything. After all, he is a brocade guard. The control of intelligence is also very unique. Recent. In Zhang Fan's impression. Nothing seems to have happened. Unless that's the thing......

Just when the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty secretly guessed what Zhang Juzheng wanted to say when he stood up like this. Zhang Juzheng had a serious face. looked at Zhu Yijun and was about to speak. And Zhu Yijun. seems to be a little disturbed by Zhang Juzheng's appearance. The little butt sitting on the dragon chair moved. I straightened the figure, too. It looked like he was facing a great enemy.

Merely. This short period of time has already made Zhu Yijun a little unbearable. He took the initiative to speak. said to Zhang Juzheng: "It's not Mr. Zhang who has anything to do. Zhu Yijun called Zhang Juzheng "Mr. Zhang". This is no longer a shocking act in the DPRK and China. Everybody knows. Of course. Naturally, some people didn't like it at first. I think Zhang Juzheng is doing too much. The emperor is now young. But he was the emperor after all. An emperor is so afraid of a minister. This is definitely not a good thing in the future.

Merely. Later it was known. Zhu Yijun called Zhang Juzheng so just because Zhang Juzheng was really stern above the feast. Therefore, Zhu Yijun is afraid of it. After knowing this. Hundreds of officials, this is relief. After all, if the speaker above the feast is not severe. The act of the feast is useless. And it's also because of this thing. Many people have also changed their opinion of Zhang Juzheng. This can be regarded as Zhang Juzheng's unintentional. I made my reputation a lot better.

But. Except for a few or three people. The real reason why Zhang Juzheng did this. In fact, it is to establish a majestic image in Zhu Yijun's eyes. Let Zhu Yijun be afraid of him. And Zhu Yijun seems to be following the path designed by Zhang Juzheng. For Zhang Ju, he is increasingly afraid.

Although I can't see anything yet. But Zhang Fan understood. And so it goes. In the future, after Zhu Yijun is in power. This kind of "habit" that has been formed is not so easy to change. Wait until that time. Zhang Juzheng can be regarded as being able to completely control the government. Is that a blessing or a curse? Zhang Fan didn't know.

"Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng spoke. "It's July. This year's summer is already halfway through. ”

"Of course I know." Zhu Yijun said. "I don't know what Mr. Zhang said. What is the so-called? ”

"When I founded my own country. It is plagued by floods every year. Zhang Juzheng said. Since the beginning of Longqing. The flood disaster has been drastically reduced. It can be regarded as an auspicious thing. It's just a sharp decrease. But it's not without ......."

The officials below the court were still worried. I don't know what Zhang Juzheng will say. Now I hear that this is the case. This is also a relief for everyone.

Although this kind of natural disaster is indeed very annoying. Disaster relief is a hassle when the time comes. It's also a hassle to clean up the river or something. And the displacement of people, famine and so on is even more troublesome. Not to mention. After every catastrophe. Flags will also be planted in various places to engage in some kind of Rausch uprising. That's even more trouble within a trouble. But these troubles are annoying though. But it's not that difficult. As long as it can be handled properly. The harm is also quite small. Compared to those political struggles. It's really just a little trick.

Now Zhang Juzheng is talking about this matter. Although it is a major event related to people's livelihood. But this was for the officials of the Ming Dynasty. It's a clichΓ©. Nothing to worry about.

"When Longqing was four years old. The flood season is here again. Zhang Juzheng naturally didn't know that what he said really made the people present breathe a sigh of relief. Go on. At that time, the river embankment was decided in Pizhou and Suining. It made the local people miserable. Fortunately, the emperor was sympathetic to the people. Quickly send people to repair and provide disaster relief. That's what calms the situation. The people live and work in peace and contentment.

"Now. Although it has been more than half of the summer, there is no danger. It's just that the cabinet received reports from many state capitals in Henan and Nanzhili this morning. The land of Huanghuai has been rained many times in recent days. The river embankment bursts. Washed away a lot of places. Now. There are many executions around Henan Mansion, Jinan Mansion, Luzhou Mansion, Fengyang Mansion and other places. In these state capitals, a large number of fleeing people have already gathered.

"Fortunately, last year's harvest was very good. There was also abundant grain in the treasury of the imperial court. However, there was no order from the imperial court. Local officials also have no right to open positions for relief. I hope that His Majesty will give an order. ”

"What else is there to say?" For this kind of thing. Although Zhu Yijun met it in person, it was only the first time. But that doesn't mean he hasn't heard of it before. I also know what to do at this time. The Cabinet immediately drew up the order. Let the several state capitals that house the people quickly open warehouses and release grain. Helping the people is. ”

At this time, Weichen understood. Zhang Juzheng said. "Actually. When Wechen received the report this morning. The decree has been prepared. Just wait for His Majesty's consent. Stamped with a jade seal. You can send it to several places. That's why it's all about the stake. You really can't wait. The matter of the micro-minister's transgression. I also hope that Your Majesty will punish the crime. "Talking. Zhang Ju bowed to Zhu Yijun. However, all the officials present noticed it. Even Zhang Juzheng said such things. But he didn't kneel. It's really disrespectful.

"Mr. cares about the people of the world. It was so sudden. "Zhu Yijun naturally won't blame Zhang Juzheng for anything." This is not surpassable. If I have to wait until I know about it, I will make a decree. The time was delayed and the people's sentiment changed. That's a big deal. After the meeting dispersed, the decree was presented. After I have seen it, I will stamp the jade seal. Leave it to the Cabinet to carry it out. ”

"Wechen obeyed. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your atonement. Zhang Juzheng stood up after saying a word.

For Zhang Juzheng's attitude. The ministers on the side were dissatisfied. He simply didn't take the emperor into account. But now it's happening. But it's not something that should be taken care of.

It's Zhang Juzheng. I can really calm down. I watched a farce just now. That's what it says.

Now. The disaster relief work is done. Now it's time to talk about how to control the water.
