"The minister feels that now the flooding of the Dingjiang River has become a major problem for the henchmen of all dynasties, and although the dynasties have repeatedly sealed the water god of the Dingjiang River, it will not help, and every few years later, it will flood again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The Ministry of Industry is still known as Qi Hezheng, who grew up by the Dingjiang River since he was a child, and before entering Beijing to serve as the Shangshu, he was the governor of Mingzhou along the Dingjiang River, and suffered from the pain of Dingjiangzhi.

And according to the minister's observation, after the Dingjiang River flooded many times in history, the waters were wider, and on two occasions it even seized the north and south rivers into the sea, causing the displacement of most of the world, and after each flood, its water god incense was more vigorous. The great water of the Dingjiang River has reached the point where it must be cured. ”

Qi Hezheng's words were sincere, and there was even a little choking between his words, and the emperor on the throne listened to it, and there was a trace of emotion: "What Aiqing said is sincere, Dingjiang should be governed, and it should be cured, it is better for the Ministry of Industry to cooperate with Lao Qi to handle this big project." ”

When the emperor said this, he wanted to overturn the decision that the eldest prince had just been appointed as the head of water control.

When the Seventh Prince heard the emperor's affirmation, his face suddenly smiled, and he also knew that he had won from this small battle, so he was about to step forward to speak.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is too risky to block the method of sparseness. At this time, it is the time of the great water of the Dingjiang River, if the water god is evil because of this, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses. Pavilion elder Gu Changshan resolutely retorted.

Although what the Ministry of Industry said is true, but in history, Dingjiang seized the southern Huishui into the sea, which caused half of the world's population to become homeless, and countless deaths and injuries, which shows that the water power of Dingjiang is huge, and its gods must not be willing to be bound, and the minister must think twice about the emperor. ”

There is also some truth in what Gu Changshan said, in the eyes of the imperial court, Dingjiang is also an enemy to deal with, but this enemy is too strong, and the imperial court has to temporarily bow down.

After all, Gu Changshan was the head of the hundred officials, and as soon as he mentioned his remarks, the rest of the pavilion elders first said to the emperor: "The minister implores the emperor to think twice." ”

Although several scholars in the cabinet also compete with each other for power and profit, they must establish a united front in the face of the emperor, otherwise they will become puppets of the imperial power, and they often advance and retreat at the same time in some major matters.

After the cabinet elders asked in unison, many officials below echoed it. "The Cabinet Ministers said earnestly, and the ministers seconded it. ”

Not all ministers are inclined to Gu Changshan's conservative water control strategy, and some young and middle-aged officials led by Shang Shuqi and Zheng of the Ministry of Industry spoke out: "If the law of observance is followed, then Dingjiang will still be difficult to control after thousands of years, and the water control strategy of the elders of the cabinet is tantamount to raising tigers for trouble." ”

Seeing that the courtiers below were arguing with each other, the emperor sat high and did not speak.

He has been the founding monarch for more than ten years, just a few years after the opening of the dynasty, the court is still his own word, and gradually some former ministers and founding fathers will raise objections on some major matters, and now there are disputes between various parties in the court in the past few years.

It's easy to fight the world, but it's hard to rule the world, but the emperor is not so easy to do, and sometimes he even has to face the embarrassment of Bai Yujing's government decree.

Now the water control strategy sent by the seventh child of his family has really won the joy of the emperor's heart.

However, for such a large project, it is necessary to levy hundreds of thousands of people, and there must be a huge amount of silver and two expenses, and if he does not get the unanimous opinion of hundreds of officials, even if he enforces it, it is just perfunctory.

"Well, since the cabinet elders want to act conservatively, then let's press down this matter and discuss it. The emperor thought about it, and had to temporarily suppress the twists and turns of the Seven Princes.

"Father, ......" the Seventh Prince opened his mouth and shouted, with a hint of unwillingness in his voice. He originally came to the court with full confidence, but he didn't expect the final result to be a failure.

In fact, the Seventh Prince had already seen that he had won the emperor's favor at this time, so he finally shouted unwillingly.

"Let's discuss this matter later, this method of controlling the river is still the strategy proposed by Gu Changshan before, and it is still supervised by the boss. The Emperor interrupted the words of the Seventh Prince and spoke quickly.

After speaking, the emperor took a deep look at the Seventh Prince. The latter finally stopped objecting: "Obey my father's orders." ”

"However, what this recital says is very outstanding, I see that you explained after the recital that this was mentioned by Fang Guancheng, but that young man in Jinling City?" Although the emperor took a step back from the opposition of several cabinet scholars, it did not prevent him from appeasing the Seventh Prince.

"Back to my father, this is the person. The Seventh Prince replied.

"Very good, although your thinking is advanced, the details can continue to be polished, and when you talk about it in the future, you will definitely be able to conquer hundreds of officials. The emperor said something, but his eyes fell on the fold in his hand.

He is mortal with the naked eye, and he cannot see the changes in the fold at this time. If Fang Haoze was here, he would definitely be able to see that after this twist and turn was discussed, dozens of thick threads of faith had been linked with many people present, and the light of merit was even more than yesterday.

"Old Gu Ge, I'll take it first, and I'll ask you to transcribe a copy to your cabinet when I get back, and I hope you will continue to study and judge. The emperor said calmly without the slightest emotion on his face.

In addition, this fold can also be left a copy between the ministers of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Industry is in charge of the world's projects, and it is necessary to have the spirit of drawing inferences from one another, and this fold should also be studied more. ”

After a pause, the emperor continued: "The Ministry of Rites is also listening, and this issue of the Di Bao can also copy and publish the full text of the recital for the officials of the world to see. ”

Di Bao is a newspaper issued by a special agency of the Imperial Court Rites Department, which is different from the hand-copied newspaper of the people, and is also called "palace documents" because of its official nature.

It mainly publishes court affairs and edicts, and also selects them from the recitals. The newspaper was distributed to all officials in the world, from cabinet ministers to governors of states and counties.

Di Bao is very important, because the officials of various states and counties are not in Baiyujing, Di Bao is an important means to understand the dynamics of the emperor's will in Beijing.

At this time, the emperor ordered the Ministry of Rites to publish Fang Haoze's strategy of "sparse rather than blocked" in the Di Bao, which obviously meant that he was dissatisfied with the confrontation of the cabinet and sought the unity of opinion of more officials, and adopted a roundabout strategy.

In the end, it is the emperor, and there are more cards in his hand than the minister, although he was hindered for a while, but looking at the emperor's meaning, it turned out to be a slow and unwanted mentality.

When the Ministry of Rites heard the emperor's order, he naturally nodded yes.

"Okay, you still have something to do, so let's hand it over to the cabinet for review first. The Emperor ordered. The eunuch who performed the ceremony sang a few more times, and the hundred officials sent the emperor off and ended the court discussion.

By the time the officials withdrew from the main hall, it was dawning in the distance, and the sun had just jumped out of the ground.

In an ordinary apartment in the second ring of Baiyu Jingzhong, Fang Haoze was getting up from a night's sleep. He had just cleaned up and was about to eat, when the godhead jade plate moved in his body, and a lot of incense fire divine power was thrown into his godhead from Bai Yujing somewhere.

In the sea of knowledge, a little incense and fire, such as a big bead and a small bead falling on the jade plate, is good-looking, although there are a lot, but it is not a scale.

After sensing it carefully, Fang Haoze frowned: "This incense fire divine power is scattered, it seems that my water control strategy has not been approved today?"

Shook his head: "Okay, the coming day is long, in addition to Dingjiang, there are many projects that can make contributions, and when the time comes, I will wait for the meeting and the palace test, and then slowly figure it out." ”
