The people of Moge quickly assembled, but in half an hour, they were in order, and they went out of the capital from Chongwenmen with the road guide and driving post in the name of Jinyi Wei's errand, and crossed the Yongding River all the way to the south. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Just when many forces in the capital appeared in chaos and wrestled secretly, Wenyuan Pavilion at the eastern foot of the Forbidden City, Xia Yan stayed in the main hall of Wenyuan Pavilion to look at the statue of the Holy Master enshrined in the hall - Confucius, the master held his hands together, made a vertical arch, his face was solemn, and the corners of his mouth hooked a smile, and a temperament that was unique to heaven and earth between his eyebrows and eyes was full of hair, Xia Yan felt that his heart had unconsciously shuttled back to the era of Confucius's etiquette and happiness, and he had a shocking talent to save the world.

"Elder Ge, the red has come back. An attendant walked into the door in small steps and said respectfully, "The excerpt has already copied the report of the General Administration Division, and now they are all waiting in the South Pavilion to send it to the various ministries." ”

Xia Yan's deep eyes gradually dimmed, returned to reality, and asked, "Has the old man of this pavilion been left behind?"

"If you go back to the old pavilion, your fold is at the top, and you can recognize your small words on the skin at a glance. The waiter hurriedly praised it.

Xia Yan frowned slightly, but still said gently: "Bring the fold, I'll go to the West Pavilion to have a look, this weather is very hot." ”

The attendant obediently replied and retreated.

Xia Yan slowly paced to the west pavilion, and now he was the only one in the cabinet, but he seemed a little lonely. However, at this time, Xia Yan must not consider the problem of loneliness, he opened the recital after the approval of red, and saw Jiajing's handwritten criticism: "Loyal and diligent, still need to spend the times", followed by the approval of the celebrant supervisor, rejecting Xia Yan's proposal to regain the Hetao, but allowing Xia Yan to investigate and handle the completion of the river for the next year's Hetao campaign, and at the same time prevent autumn flooding, it is necessary to cooperate sincerely with the Ministry of Industry, the River Yamen, and the Caoyun Yamen to complete the embankment.

Slowly closing the fold, Xia Yan's eyes sharpened a lot, and he muttered: "Thank you Your Majesty for your insight, the old minister has lived up to Your Majesty's trust this time!"

After pondering for a while, Xia Yan summoned the attendants to spread paper and study ink, quickly wrote multiple letters, and sent a few little eunuchs to the relevant ministries and yamen, and the attendants who had been with Xia Yan became more and more cold in the room as they studied the ink, and wondered a little in their hearts: How could it be so cool here on this hot day.

As everyone knows, the cold knife and axe in Xia Yan's heart have already slashed at many of Yan Song's subordinates, and a storm in the court is inevitable......

Xia Yanyun finished writing the last letter, sealed it and handed it to the waiting little eunuch, and breathed a long sigh of relief, and suddenly the whole room seemed to be surrounded by the summer heat.

Xia Yan wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead, and ordered: "Go find some ice for the old man of this pavilion, put it in the south pavilion, and then go to the inner prison to discuss some good tea, the old man of this pavilion will talk with many ministers in the afternoon and make some preparations, and don't let outsiders look at the old Wenyuan Pavilion of this pavilion is too dilapidated and unruly." ”

The attendant should be promised and galloped away.

It was only half an hour before or so, and several officials wearing patch clothes and black gauze hats walked into the south pavilion of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the complements on their bodies were embroidered with handsome cranes, which showed that they were important ministers and high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty.

"My colleagues have arrived. Xia Yan immediately got up and saluted after hearing the report from the waiter.

"Xia Shouhua. Several high-ranking officials also saluted.

A smile appeared on Xia Yan's thin face, as if the spring breeze swept through the room. Xia Yan waved his hand to invite a seat, and said in a relaxed and polite tone: "Several ministers also ask for a lot of forgiveness, Yan Fang took over the cabinet position, and all things are complicated and I can't meet you." But we are also old acquaintances, and a few of us must not pay attention to these troubles.

"Words are all over and you to do more greetings, today I invite the princes to come not for others, the saint has read the words of the day before the sparse, to say that the river is sent, this matter has been thinking for a long time, I feel that it is necessary to talk to the princes, and agree on countermeasures. ”

Xia Yan finished speaking, his eyes swept over the people under the seat, observing everyone's reactions.

Zuodu Yushi Zhou Yong (the word line), his face was a little gloomy, the scar on his left eye looked a little fierce, and his long white beard continued to shake with panting. Xia Yan understood that Zhou Yong had served as the governor of the river in the Ministry of Industry, and he was familiar with the dirt inside, but he was dignified and modest, and he did not go along with his subordinates.

The military department Shangshu Lu Ying (the word Binyang), this is a cool man who has led troops to fight in Xuanfu, with a beard on his face, very mighty, at this moment it seems that he wants to confide in something, but he looked around at his colleagues and pressed it down again.

Wang Gao (the word Jingchu), Xia Yan made a look at him, asked him not to be silent first, and made Wang Gao, who was about to speak, a little confused, but as Xia Yan's gaze turned to Gan Weilin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Wang Gao suddenly realized, and immediately quieted, and even his breathing was a little stagnant.

The Ministry of Works, Shangshu Gan Weilin (the word Gongwang), just raised his head to meet Xia Yan's eyes, coughed dryly twice, and broke the silence in a loud voice: "Ge Lao, although Wei Lin has been in charge of the Ministry of Industry for several years, he is still quite unfamiliar with the affairs of this river, but I don't know why Ge Lao has not invited the right capital Yushi Wang Bangyong, but he has been the governor of the river for the past two years. ”

Xia Yan had already drafted Gan Weilin's attitude in his heart, and said loudly: "Sikong is humble, last year Sikong and Yan Ge Lao sincerely cooperated, and the Yellow River and the canal were completed and effective, but they all have written merits in the annals of history." Today, several ministers related to the Junhe River are here, and it can be said that we are all doing things for Your Majesty, and we will do our best to support them. ”

Gan Weilin's face flashed a little vigilant, but he still followed Xia Yan's words and continued: "The elder of the pavilion is serious, Weilin is just inheriting the experience of his ancestors, and he has the help of Governor Wang, so he has to make a little success, and it is fortunate that there is no disaster, and I dare not hope for extravagant hopes." Autumn floods, one south and one north are all major floods in autumn and winter, and the will of heaven is unpredictable, and the only way to prevent it is to prevent it. What can be done now is to dredge the river as much as possible and prepare supplies. ”

Gan Weilin's words went up and down, but in fact, he didn't say anything, but just talked about a method that can't be called a method.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yan patted his arm and said: "Sikong Weiyan has a deep meaning, sincerity and not greed, and admiration! We will wait for the constitution to be sorted out today, and we only need to pass and implement it when we come to the court meeting. ”

Gan Weilin suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he had to humbly accept Xia Yan's words.

Wang Gao spoke out at the right time and said: "What the elder said is very wonderful, but it is a small word that the commonplace does not change in response to all changes. In the future, if you want to ask for a plan, please don't hide it. ”

Situ laughed. Gan Weilin said modestly.

The direction is delineated, and the strategies for specific implementation are planned by the top officials of the Ming Dynasty, but it is just a gesture. However, under the leadership of Xia Yan, it was determined that the river affairs would be mainly carried out by the Ministry of Industry, supplemented by the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Household Planning and Appropriation, and supervised by the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Lu Ying took the lead in getting up and said that the military department still had military affairs to deal with, and the rest of the people also said that their respective departments still had military affairs, and they all left.

Xia Yan got up and sent everyone a few steps outside the South Pavilion, turned around and whispered a few words to the attendant at the door, and said to Wang Gao: "Situ stays, Zhou Zongxian also asks, there are still affairs to discuss." ”
