Jingtaiyuan September 9.

Fengtian Temple.

Hu Hui, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Your Majesty, in September last year, King Minzhuang died, and it has been a year since September this year, and the death of Xiang Pillow and Su has been decided. ”

"Zhu Huixuan, the third son of the king of Minzhuang, asked for an attack on the prince, and the ministers approved that they could attack the title."

Zhu Di got the chapter of the Ministry of Rites, took a look at it and said: "Quasi-play, let the prince Zhu Huixuan attack the king of Min, build a palace in Wugang, and issue a seal." ”

"Your Majesty." The ministers shouted.

This kind of thing that has already been decided, there is not much to say.

At that time, the incense pillow came to an end, and Zhu Huixuan, who was the king of Jiangchuan at the time, entered Beijing in order to attack the prince of the Min Domain, although even he did not expect it, but this almost did happen.

The title of King Min, who couldn't be beaten by eight poles, fell on the head of his third son.

The most should be thanked, of course, is the Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu who turned the eucalyptus for the Su family and checked the incense pillow, if there was no strict investigation by this emperor, King Min would only be his vicious brother Zhennan Wang.

Therefore, Zhu Huixu, who succeeded to the title of the prince, is also the most attentive of the clansmen in the country.

Just before and after Zhu Di killed Zhu Qizhen and Sun Ruowei's mother and son, Zhu Huixu went to the court three times, on behalf of the Min clan, and strongly condemned the behavior of Sun's mother and son.

This attack on King Min can only be said to be a matter of course.

Liu Shancai, the secretary of Honglu Temple, immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, the fourth king of Joseon, Li Qi, passed away a few days ago. ”

"Li Jue, the son of the king of Joseon, asked for a decree to succeed to the throne, and asked my suzerain."

As he spoke, he handed over the top watch of North Korea to the celebrant Yin Xing'an.

Zhu Di took it from Xing'an's hand, and after looking at it, he asked, "What does the Ministry of Rites think?" ”

"Your Majesty, please discuss it for a moment."

After listening to Hu Hu, Zhu Di bowed his head and signaled to continue.

Hu Hui then turned around and went to the Ministry of Rites, where the courtiers of the Ministry of Rites had a short discussion in the Fengtian Palace, and agreed on the addition of the Ming Dynasty, as the suzerain, to the tributary state of Korea.

After a while, Hu Hu came out again and said: "The ministers think that the former king of North Korea, Li Yan, can be called virtuous and obedient, and his inner advice is proper. ”

"Respect the virtuous and let the good be respectful, and the virtuous and gentle are obedient."

Zhu Di frowned when he heard this, during the Yongle period, this Joseon Sejong Li Qi assisted the Ming Dynasty in controlling the Jurchen tribe in the northeast, which can be described as dutiful.

Zhu Di has a good impression of this person, after all, he is a very familiar vassal, and adding good words to him is also for the rest of the countries that surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di said: "I think it's impossible, think about it again." ”

Hu Hu was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting the emperor to be so concerned about such a trivial matter, so he turned around again, and after discussing with the Ministry of Rites, he said: "The ministers think that they can add Zhuang Xian." ”

"Zhuang, respectful and solemn, dignified and respectful, respectful and respectful."

"The constitutional, the one who is disciplined, well-read, and creative and protective."

"Quasi-play." Zhu Di laughed at this time, and said to Liu Shancai, the secretary of Honglu Temple who had been waiting for a long time: "Let's do it according to this, add Zhuang Xian, and express my grief." ”

Liu Shancai immediately said: "If you hear it in North Korea, you must be grateful for Your Majesty's virtue and prestige, Your Majesty Shengming, long live long live!" ”

This Liu Shancai, his career is also a bitter tear.

Since entering the officialdom, he has been circling in the Qingshui Yamen, which is not much oil and water in Honglu Temple and is easy to offend people, and he is more than forty years old, and he is still a left-in-command, that is, the second-in-command.

If Zhu Di hadn't done the hardcore orthodox party of the former Honglu Temple Qing Yang Shan, Liu Shancai might have been until the age of Zhishi's retirement, and he would still be a Zuo Sicheng.

Now that he is old and blessed, he was suddenly promoted to one of the nine Qings, Liu Shancai was a surprise intersection, very satisfied, and he was also grateful to the current emperor.

Not long after he retired into the train, Chen Xun, the new head assistant of the cabinet, suddenly came out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, Xu Youzhen, the imperial history of the capital who rushed to Shandong to control the water, has a book." ”

"The Cabinet felt that this matter was of great importance, and after a meeting with the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, I asked His Majesty to make a decision."

"Speak." Zhu Di said lazily, he had already made some bad plans in his heart.

Xu Youzhen mentioned moving south in the past, for this kind of dog thing, if he hadn't heard that he was the best in the world in controlling water, Zhu Di would not have kept it.

After all, there is no substitute for the unique skill of water control.

"Xu Youzhen, please play Your Majesty:

The Yellow River was diverted from Kaifeng, so that the river flooded, the crops were submerged, the people lacked food, and there was no levy for grain and grass. In Kaifeng Mansion, the flat land and water are one foot high, and all the houses have collapsed. Old wives and children, wandering roads, people who have been plagued, plundered by many things.

There are six prefectures and seven counties in Henan and Shandong, and more than 2,000 miles of the disaster area are all cultivated by the people. The people are all separated from each other, and they do not protect each other, or migrate or gather for thieves, and the local government has repeatedly banned them, and the suffering is unspeakable.

After on-the-spot investigation, the minister found that there was a new stone dam at the new breach, trying to slow down the water potential, increase and thicken the coastal embankment, and block the breach.

This is a rough and shallow road that has repeatedly been decided on the embankment in order to cost the country's money and food.

From the thirteenth year of orthodoxy to the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, the embankment was built in February of the thirteenth year, and it was decided in April, and then blocked, and in May and July, it rained heavily in Shandong, and it was decided again.

Looking at the above, the reunification of the dynasty, the previous treatment of the breaches along the Yellow River, mostly headache treatment, foot pain treatment of the feet, the treatment of the symptoms but not the root cause.

The river is blocked, the silt is dredged, and the Yellow River is harshly governed, and it is the country that suffers, and the people who suffer. The minister thinks that the water control must be smooth, and it is not possible to try to save trouble quickly.

The nature of the water can be smooth to guide the irreversible, and the minister observed that along the Yellow River, the sand of Shawan is weak, and it is most likely to collapse.

The river is from Yongyong, out of danger and solid and repulsed, the water potential is unrestrained. From Yu to Yan, the soil is sparse, and the water is abundant. And the east of Shawan, the so-called Dahongkou, appropriate to the brunt, so the decision, and the road to the sea, to seize Ji, Wen to the sea, is to divert the route.

The ministers are deeply trusted by His Majesty, and they will govern the water of a dynasty and compete for His Majesty's eternal merit.

The minister asked His Majesty to serve as a soldier in the people of Hezhou County and specialize in river defense, so as to save military expenses and relieve the people's strength. ”

After reading these, Zhu Di also kept nodding.

This Xu Youzhen, although he is not a good person, but he is indeed quite capable of controlling water, judging from this letter alone, his ability to control water is not known to be higher than that Shi Pu.

Zhu Di was a little lucky, but fortunately he didn't cut him off as an orthodox remnant.

After the water is cured, it is not too late to cut it again.

After listening to it, Zhu Di also understood, shook his head and sneered, why Xu Youzhen's letter was not decided by the cabinet, because this whole article was offended.

Xu Youzhen first said that the local relief and management of the disaster victims were not effective, and the situation of bandits could not be improved due to the disaster, and then went through the orthodox and previous erroneous measures to control the flood.

It was only after this tirade that his point was stated, in contrast to the misdeeds of his predecessors, and to highlight his talents.

But for Xu Youzhen, this is not unusual.

After all, he has already offended most people in the matter of moving south, and this time he has not suddenly become a great sage, not for the sake of the local people, but for his career.

He wanted to show off and show his ability in front of himself, the emperor, so that he could be reused.
