After the court discussion, there is a cumbersome process of sacrificing heaven and earth and sacrificing ancestors.

Such a magnificent achievement, of course, we have to report to the ancestors, so that everyone is happy.

Under the command of the Ministry of Rites, after a whole set of sacrificial processes, Zhu Qizhen was tired.

When he returned to the palace, it was already evening, he thought about it, and still beat his spirits and called Yu Qian to the imperial study.

Yu Qian looked at Zhu Qizhen's tired face, and knew that there must be something important, otherwise, with the emperor's urine sex that he didn't even have in the early dynasty, he would have gone back to sleep a long time ago.

"Yu Qian, Wang Yonghe, the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, went to Huai'an Mansion to control the water, do you know?"

Yu Qian nodded and replied, "I already heard about it yesterday. ”

Zhu Qizhen said again: "Wang Yonghe has recruited 60,000 people in Huai'an Mansion, what do you think about this?" ”

Yu Qian thought for a moment, and then said, "Sixty thousand people...... For Wang Shilang, it may be a big hidden danger. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Qizhen asked, "How do you say this?" ”

"Your Majesty, do you still remember how you led the troops during these two personal expeditions?"

Zhu Qizhen was puzzled: "Wang Yonghe is controlling the water, this is the same as leading the troops...... What does it matter? ”

"Throughout the ages, water control has been a major national matter, and the slightest carelessness will cause a catastrophe."

Yu Qian paused and continued: "In the late Sui Dynasty, there were several major floods in Shandong and Henan, and because the imperial court at that time could not provide timely relief, tens of thousands of people died every day. Li Mi of the Shandong rebel army took the opportunity to attack the granary of Liyang, opened the warehouse for relief, and the army was able to expand rapidly, and the Sui Dynasty fell the next year. Don't mention it from afar, just say that the former yuan was destroyed, can the emperor know why? ”

Zhu Qizhen didn't think about it, so he said casually: "Of course, because of the cruelty of the Yuan Court, the people are miserable. ”

Yu Qian shook his head lightly and said, "Not exactly. ”

Zhu Qizhen suddenly became interested and asked, "Then tell me, why?" ”

"It's also because of the river!"

Yu Qian looked resolute and continued: "At the beginning, the Yellow River was frequently diverted, and the Yuan court summoned the people to dredge the river. In the end, Emperor Taizu stood out, annexed the powers, and expelled the Tartars, so that there is today's world! ”

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but ask: "You said so much, what is the relationship between controlling the water and leading the troops?" ”

Yu Qian smiled lightly and said: "The relationship here is big, the emperor just imagine, the people were recruited to build the river embankment together, it stands to reason that what they are doing is to benefit the world, but why, they will do it?" ”

"Yes, of course...... The world has been suffering for a long time! ”

Yu Qian shook his head and continued: "Of course, this is the reason, but there is a more important reason, that is, hundreds of thousands of people gathered together, and the officials of the former Yuan did not know how to manage effectively. ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "That's the truth." ”

Yu Qian continued: "In the army, orders and prohibitions can be carried out, and it is difficult to say that the people are not trained, their behavioral abilities are uneven, and they lack the backbone, but if there are some people who have resentment against the court, or have other intentions, spread some news, just imagine, everyone is tired of hard work, and suddenly learns that their food has been deducted from above, or if the drinking water is not supplied in time, their resentment will increase day by day." ”

"Although the people are timid, even the most timid people, once they get together, they will be bolder than the sky. They will be angry, they will scold, and they will even try to provoke Shangguan, even if it is a good official, there is no guarantee that everyone will be taken into account, and once someone succeeds in provoking, everyone will lose their reverence for Shangguan. But once the official imposes severe punishment and suppresses the provocateur, then others will breed the psychology of rabbit death and fox sadness. Did the emperor think that they wanted to rebel from the beginning? ”

Zhu Qizhen felt very messy and had a headache......

Yu Qian smiled slightly: "Perhaps, at the beginning, they didn't want to rebel, even if they knew that the rumors that the upper authorities had withheld food, nine times out of ten, it was just a false lie, they just followed the good deeds to coax, because these things are not harmful to them, even if the sky falls, there is a tall person on top, and once the officials choose to back down, they can also seek benefits from it." ”

Zhu Qizhen really didn't think about it so much, in these two battles, the reason for the previous failure of Tumubao was the wrong decision-making of the superiors, but there was no problem with the implementation of the army, if it weren't for Yu Qian's words today, he didn't even realize that the organization and discipline of the Ming army were still very strong.

"I understand, leading troops and controlling the water are the same thing, and because of this, Han Xin calls himself Han Gaozu, but he can bring 100,000 soldiers and horses, and he Han Xin can lead the troops, so the more the better. It can be seen that people who don't know how to lead troops want to stabilize the hearts of tens of thousands of people and make them obediently obey orders, which is as difficult as climbing to the sky! ”

"As the emperor said, Wang Shilang has never had experience in leading troops, so the minister thinks that these 60,000 people are a hidden danger in his hands."

After Yu Qian finished speaking, Zhu Qizhen thought seriously for a long time, if the White Lotus Sect wanted to fan these people to rebel, it would be easy.

Even if they don't stand up and rebel, just using these 60,000 people to stir up it is enough for the court to have a headache.

For the time bomb of the White Lotus Sect, it must be completely removed, otherwise, it may explode at any time.

Zhu Qizhen told Yu Qian the original story of Song Guxi, and then asked, "You help me think of a way, you must completely eradicate the white lotus!" ”

Hearing this, Yu Qian looked embarrassed and said: "The minister thinks that the best way is to plan the plan, so that they mistakenly think that the imperial court has transferred Nanjing's troops to Ningbo and Fuzhou, and then ambush another army and horses in advance, and wait for the White Lotus Sect and the Japanese Kou to appear, and then come forward to wipe them out." However, the emperor has already ordered a thorough investigation of the White Lotus Sect, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to lead the snake out of the hole if he has already startled the snake. ”

"I know!"

Zhu Qizhen sighed and said: "The six-hundred-mile rush has been sent out, even if it is recovered now, the news must have leaked, so I let you think of a way, how to catch these thieves!" ”

"The Sword Comes"

Yu Qian suddenly became worried, and said, "The minister will do his best, please ask the emperor to give the minister some time." ”

"The other party may take action at any time, and there is not much time left for you."

"Within three days, the minister will reply to the emperor."

"Okay, I'm waiting for your news!"
