As for the third Shousuke, it was more unexpected.

Xu Hui, that is, the later famous Xu Youzhen, was the third first assistant of Zhu Qiyu's internal appointment.

Although Xu Huo sways from side to side and often does some ridiculous things, he can't stand this person's ability to be too strong.

In terms of water control alone, from now on, 120 years forward, 80 years back, a total of 200 years, there is no stronger ability to control the river than Xu Hui.

The extremely scarce ability of governing the river alone is enough for Zhu Qiyu to tolerate Xu Hui infinitely. Although Xu Hui in history participated in the change of seizing the door, if you want to become a famous king through the ages, you have to grit your teeth and endure some things.

Just like Wei Zheng also participated in Li Jiancheng's planning before and after the Xuanwumen Change, but Li Shimin still gritted his teeth and admitted it.

And Xu Hui is a very rare Wenchen Count in the Ming Dynasty, although Xu Hui has a series of deaths, but in the end he was able to die well, which shows that his talent and political ability should not be underestimated.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu opened his mouth and asked: "What about Xu Hui, I asked him to go to control the river before, has he left Beijing now?" ”

Huang Pu replied: "This Weichen knows that Xu Huo has not left Beijing, he said that there is no way to start building the river in winter, and there is nothing to do now." So these days, I have been active in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, consulting with experienced seniors on the art of river control. ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and smiled: "This talented man is quite modest, and he even knows how to ask others." But I can understand that he went to the Ministry of Industry, but what does the Ministry of War have to do with him, why did he go to the Ministry of War? ”

Huang Pu replied: "Xu Huo said that it is enough to repair the river to mobilize the officials and troops, and there is no need to toss the people. ”

"This coincides with my thoughts, go and inform him, and let him participate tomorrow morning."

Huang Pu received the edict, and Zhu Qiyu commanded again: "I want to invite the generals to a banquet tonight, and the two of you can participate together." Ning Xiang, you go to the backyard to make something to eat and bring it over, let's eat some first. ”

So everyone rested and ate, and in the evening, the generals entered the house one after another.

The performance of the generals and the Xungui group is completely different, whether it is Shi Heng, Fan Guang, Sun Bo and other battalion commanders, or Xu Tong, Gu Zhong and other emperors' personal guards, or Liu Yongcheng and Hao Yi of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, none of them are sick and can't come.

After all, everyone wants to be an earl and a marquis of Jin, and the distribution of these titles is just a matter of the emperor's words.

Zhu Qiyu did not mention the fact that the army went out of the camp today to provoke Wara, but only persuaded the generals to drink. Then he successively revealed some post-war arrangements, in short, he promised to give enough titles and powers, and then let the generals go to the border separately to garrison and expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty.

The demands of the generals were satisfied, and the meal was enjoyed by the guests and hosts, and it was not until late at night that everyone dispersed.

Nothing was said all night.

At dawn the next day, the civil and military ministers came to the palace of the king of Qi early.

The time of the Ming Dynasty was very early, and the ministers had long been accustomed to it. Zhu Qiyu complained while rubbing in the quilt: "Who set the time of these courts, I have tried my best not to stick to the rules, why do the ministers still come so early." ”

Ning Xiang had to smile and coax: "Husband, let's go back quickly, the slave family warms the quilt and waits for the husband to come back." ”

"Hey, let's kill it first, it's really enough."

Zhu Qiyu scolded Yexian, got up, dressed neatly, and came to the West Flower Hall.

When it was good on the soft couch, Zhu Qiyu looked around at everyone, and there were two people who didn't show up often, one was Xu Hui, and the other was Li Xian, the Marquis of Fengcheng.

Zhu Qiyu had to sigh at the efficiency of the nobles, he had just driven away a group of people, and the nobles immediately launched a new spokesperson.

And this Marquis of Fengcheng is still very old: his family is the founding noble, and during the Xuande period, Li Xian was already leading the former military governor's office. In the orthodox year, Li Xian served as the chief military officer of Datong Mansion, and now leads the affairs of the Nanjing Central Military Governor's Office.

Because of this battle to defend Beijing, Nanjing's army was also transferred to Beijing, and not long after the Marquis of Fengcheng led a new batch of Qinwang troops to Beijing, he caught up with the emperor to launch a coup d'état and drove out a large number of nobles in Beijing.

The seniors either died in the Tumu Fort, or were driven out of the capital, or, like Wei Guogong, kept guarding Nanjing.

So Li Xian suddenly discovered that in the Jingxungui, who was close to the emperor, he was now the oldest and most prestigious, and he couldn't even be pushed to the front desk.

But Zhu Qiyu is too lazy to be polite with these nobles who are close to the emperor, even if they dig out their hearts and lungs, they still have this attitude, so why bother to stick a cold ass with a hot face.

Besides, the nobles who are close to the emperor, the powerful Jingyuan Bo and the Marquis of Ningyang are three or five thousand miles away, and those in the capital are all wastes with no ability, and they are not worth paying attention to at all.

So Zhu Qiyu's first sentence was to ask Xu Hui: "Xu Aiqing, do you have a slight eyebrow for river governance?" ”

Xu Hui was a little flattered when he saw that Xinjun was the first to ask himself, and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the minister already has a general strategy.

But that's a bit of a long story. The minister believes that the previous strategy of river control only focused on the immediate and did not focus on the long-term, and it was completely a symptom but not a root cause.

For now, we can't just think about strengthening Shandong's river embankment just because the Shandong section is broken. The imperial court should have an overall plan for the management of the Yellow River and the canal, and then implement it for decades. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction: "After the court meeting will end in a while, Xu Aiqing will stay, and our monarchs and ministers will talk in detail alone." ”

Xu Hui was overjoyed when he heard this, he was a twenty-six-year-old junior sergeant, and he was originally a young talent with unlimited prospects, but no one appreciated him, and he wasted his time.

Poor Xu Hui, who had just been admitted to the Jinshi, was awarded the title of the editor of the Hanlin Academy. However, sixteen years have passed, and in the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, the forty-two-year-old Xu Hui has only been promoted to the sixth rank of the Hanlin Academy.

Xu Hui sighed in his heart: In the end, it was all about the absurd new monarch, and as soon as he ascended the throne, he inexplicably promoted himself to the right side of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, which was the fourth grade, and finally entered the ranks of high-ranking officials.

Xu Huo glanced at the only two people standing behind him: He Yi and Huang Pu, and his heart was even more emotional. The ministers present were all important ministers of the imperial court, either Shangshu or Shilang, or the left and right capital Yushi, Dali Siqing, Taichang Siqing and the like.

He is the right and the right of the imperial history, and the official position ranks third from the bottom. The two behind the key are lower than their official positions, but they are much better than their own lives. Especially He Yi, who is only twenty-two years old now, is already the son of Zuo Chunfang Zuo of Zhengwupin.

Although he is one level lower than himself, he is twenty years younger. And as the descendant of the new monarch, the gap at the district level is nothing, and he is more than a hundred times luckier than himself.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the people with different expressions, and also knew why the ministers came early. issued the edict directly to the point:

"Uncle Dazong has already left Beijing, and the Ministry of Rites can't be left unattended. The imperial court was in an eventful time, and it was also helpless to have two Shangshu in one piece.

In this way, Yu Shiyue, the secretary of Dali Temple, was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, and is still in charge of the affairs of Dali Temple. ”

When Yu Shiyue heard this, he was surprised, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

Zhu Qiyu continued: "Zhou Chen, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, concurrently serves as a scholar of Dongge University, and joined the cabinet to assist me in handling government affairs. ”

Zhou Chen was also greatly moved, the seventy-year-old minister, finally survived to enter the cabinet.

These two appointments are still within the acceptable range, but they are in the middle of the rules. So the ministers all concentrated and listened attentively to see who would end up with the position of one of the remaining ministers.
