Daming heir

Pan Deshan hesitated for a moment, his mouth was tightly shut, but his eyes kept flickering.

When the dams and dams fail, countless rivers rush down from upstream and suck themselves into the river.

Pan Deshan knew that what happened on the river must be explained to the imperial court and the world.

I am the Minister of the River Road Governor appointed by the imperial court. If I want to take responsibility, I am the best choice.

And the river management officials in the river governor's yamen.

They are still young, still immature, and have greater hopes.

As long as he bears the responsibility for this crime and lets the court punish him, these young river management officials can be saved.As long as they are still there, and continue to stay in the seat of governing the river, one day, Daming will surely make the Yellow River, which has been roaring and venting for countless years, calm down.

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Pan Deshan lightly, sighed and shook his head slightly.

Then he turned and continued to walk upstream along the embankment.

Gao Yangzhi beside Pan Deshan also sighed, and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation.

Pan Deshan took a look and nodded silently.

The two walked side by side.

Gao Yangzhi said in a low voice: "Pan Shangshu is a person who does things, and he is also a person who is responsible. If it were someone else, I am afraid that the moment something happened to the river, the responsibility would be shifted to the officials who supervised the construction of the dam and the reduction of the dam. body.

Not to mention, Hui, like Pan Shangshu, has been on the river almost every day since he became the governor of the river.When the flood came down that day, Pan Shangshu was in a dangerous situation and was injured by the flood. "

These are words of comfort.

However, Pan Deshan just shook his head calmly, and said in a low voice: "This is the responsibility of the guilty minister."

Gao Yangzhi heheed, and said in a deep voice: "Pan Shangshu has a good intention to resist all the crimes by himself. But has Pan Shangshu ever thought that after you resist the crimes, the court will never rise again Is there a dispute?"

Pan Deshan turned his head, with doubts in his eyes.

As the governor of the river channel and the minister of the Ministry of Processing, I have taken responsibility for the disasters that happened on the river channel. Couldn't the court be satisfied?

Gao Yangzhi looked at Pan Deshan's puzzled eyes, and shook his head: "How did Pan Shangshu get where he is now?"

Pan Deshan immediately replied: "It is only because His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun is lucky that the guilty minister can get this high position and hold power."

Gao Yangzhi sneered: "Since Pan Shangshu also knows that His Royal Highness promoted you, then you have to resist all the crimes now, and let others think about it? Is His Highness not knowing people, or being deceived by others? If Pan Shangshu is guilty, Is His Highness also guilty?"

His voice was not too loud, but he pierced deeply into Pan Deshan's ears word by word, causing Pan Deshan's eyes to widen and a panicked expression to appear on his face.

Pan Deshan would never have thought that even if he assumed all the responsibilities, what happened on the river would still implicate His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager.

Gao Yangzhi sighed helplessly.

He said helplessly in a low voice: "You guys...Pan Shangshu, you are like this, and Zhang Ergong, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, is also like that. You are all capable people, but you don't know how to be an official. The only one who knows how to be an official Yuan Shaoshi, an official, still concentrates on staying in the Shanglin Court Prison, it can be said that he doesn't hear anything outside the window, and only thinks about farming and raising cattle."

Pan Deshan was a little hesitant, and after hesitating for a while, he said in a low voice: "Your Highness has His Majesty's favor, so even if you think about it, it's okay to criticize..."

"Pan Shangshu should also know that the imperial court is now implementing the Hongwu New Deal." Gao Yangzhi stared at the hopeful Pan Deshan in front of him, deeply feeling that in the future there should be an assessment of the way officials are officials, he said He explained: "Your Highness is the one who promotes the New Deal, and innovation has always been the top priority in the court. River governance started from His Highness, and Pan Shangshu is also His Highness's Jian Ba.

If Pan Shangshu insisted on taking responsibility for this accident, His Highness would definitely be criticized. At that time, the Hongwu New Deal would also be criticized, and eventually blocked and interrupted. "

Fear appeared in Pan Deshan's eyes, and he said nervously, "Isn't it?"

"Not so?" Gao Yangzhi sneered, and mocked: "Pan Shangshu really thinks that the court will be smooth sailing? Do you really think that everyone in the world is yearning for the New Deal? Or are those who occupy more land and less Those who pay taxes will be willing to take out the benefits that have been put in their pockets?"

Pan Deshan lowered his head, murmured silently, and finally said in a low voice: "It's impossible for people to turn against each other and go for profit."

"That's the reason, so there is no room for any mistakes now. And the accident on the river must not implicate you, Pan Shangshu, even the officials in the governor's yamen of the river must not be implicated!"

He raised his head high and slammed loudly, his gaze was determined.

Many things in the New Deal were proposed by myself, discussed in the cabinet to ask His Majesty for permission, and finally announced to the world.

There are many things in it, which I have already practiced and tested when I was in Jiaozhi Dao.

As long as the imperial court clarifies the local resistance step by step, and truly implements every article of the New Deal, the world will inevitably undergo earth-shaking changes.

Pan Deshan finally came to his senses at this time.

He looked up at the emperor's grandson who had already walked a long way in front, and looked at the somewhat thin figure from his back.Pan Deshan's eyes kept flickering, and he immediately picked up his robe and quickened his pace to catch up.

When Pan Deshan finally arrived behind Zhu Yunxi.

He already said in a deep voice, "Your Highness!"

Hearing the sound, Zhu Yunxi stopped in his tracks, turned around slowly, and looked at Pan Deshan who had been promoted by himself to the position of Governor and Minister of Rivers in front of him.

He smiled slightly, and said lightly, "Are you sure you want to apologize with death?"

puff.

As soon as Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, Pan Deshan knelt on the embankment with his hands folded.

"Your Majesty... I will never repay the kindness your Highness has given me!"

Pan Deshan opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say.

Zhu Yunxi smiled: "I don't want you to have any repayment. As long as you can control the river well and make the Yellow River truly calm, that is the greatest repayment to Gu, and it is not in vain for Gu's trust in you."

Pan Deshan's eyes turned red in an instant.

Throughout the ages, how many capable ministers and officials hope to meet a trusted monarch.

A scholar dies for his confidant, and a good bird chooses a tree to live in.

From ancient times to the present, how many heroes have fallen into the tide of that era because they never met their confidants and lost their health.

Pan Deshan's forehead hit the embankment heavily.

"If the Yellow River is not in a state of calm, the minister will not go down the embankment for a day, so that Huang An will be peaceful and will no longer cause trouble in the Central Plains!"

Zhu Yunxi took a step forward, bent over, and gently patted Pan Deshan on the shoulder.

"Take care of the river with peace of mind, and the rest of the things are all alone."

……

Five days later.

Zhu Yunxi, who was only wearing a brocade coat, was escorted by a few secret guards including Tian Mai, and led Wang Xinling and Niu Dafu from Lanyang County along the Yellow River embankment to Mengjin County in Henan Prefecture. Under the river embankment near the northeast.

However, Gao Yangzhi and Pan Deshan, under the guard of soldiers and horses led by Ma Hongqing, led a group of officials on the northern patrol, and fell behind. It would take two or three days to arrive at Mengjin County.

The reason why Zhu Yunxi chose to rush to Mengjin County immediately after meeting Pan Deshan in Lanyang County was because one of the dams and water reduction dams built by the River Governor's Yamen in the Yellow River channel was in the river channel of Mengjin County.

The other place where the dam and water reduction dam are to be built will continue to the west and enter the territory of Shanzhou Prefecture, in the river channel to the north of Shanzhou City.

To find out why the dams and dams were destroyed, one must go to the site and see for themselves what it was like.

And in the dark, Fusun Cheng of Fusi Town, Jinyiwei North Town, had already sneaked into Mengjin County with people to secretly investigate whether there was a secret.

Sun Cheng all the way, Zhu Yunxi all the way, Gao Yangzhi all the way, the soldiers are divided into three groups, false and real, making it difficult to distinguish the true meaning.

Zhu Yunxi, who rushed along the embankment to the embankment of the Yellow River in Mengjin County, looked a little dignified.

Compared with the situation in Lanyang County, the situation in Mengjin County, which was the first to be impacted by the river after the destruction of the dam and reduction dam, is obviously much more serious than that in Lanyang County.

To this day, the embankment is still a mess, and a thick layer of river sand and mud has accumulated under the embankment.

The place where the materials for building the river should have been piled up was a mess. Countless materials were scattered everywhere under the impact of the flood.

On the embankment, at this time, there was already a sub-division of the River Governor's Yamen Henan Prefecture, organizing river workers to carry out dredging, first aid, and reorganization.

There are no officials to supervise the work, even those officials in the official robes of the River Governor's Yamen are covered in mud and water, which is extremely eye-catching among the river workers, but there is no sense of disobedience.

It was rare for Wang Xinling to have the opportunity to accompany the emperor's grandson alone. It can be said that he was excited and nervous along the way.

He looked up and down the embankment in front of him, and said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness, take the document handed over by the governor's office of the river. If it weren't for the Huanglu Mountain in the upper reaches as the screen of Mengjin County on the north side, and the Fenghuang Mountain and Mang Mountain in the downstream as Yanshi as a barrier." , the situation in Henan Province may be even more serious.

Now there are several mountain ranges running from east to west, blocking the flood from the river.The loss has been controlled within a small range on both sides of the river.

The Yamen of the Governor of the River Channel is also urgently transferring various materials from Kaifeng Prefecture, and at the same time writing to Yanshi County, Henan Prefecture, to increase the production of bluestone, lime and other materials there.Strive to rebuild the retaining dam and reducing dam in Mengjin County before the fall of next year. "

"Do you think there is the Dragon Lord of the Yellow River, or why the dams and dams that Pan Deshan painstakingly built were destroyed?"

Zhu Yunxi glanced at the situation up and down the embankment, looked away, and suddenly looked sideways at the young governor behind him.

Wang Xinling was stunned for a moment, and then he said in a low voice: "I don't know, but I think that the so-called Lord of the Yellow River Dragon in the people's mouth certainly does not exist. Cleverly borrowing the name of the Dragon Lord to plot rebellion!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Go to the embankment to have a look."

After he finished speaking, he stopped talking.

Originally, he was in Lanyang County and couldn't see what the situation in Mengjin County was like with his own eyes, so he still had various guesses in his mind.

But today I saw with my own eyes the status quo of the river embankment in Mengjin County.

The officials in the government never acted harshly, and the people of the river workers worked hard.

The big stove just under the river embankment, at this noon, was emitting thick smoke even earlier.

Everything was in order, and there was no chaos at all.

Undoubtedly, the destruction of the retaining dams and reducing dams in the river course can first rule out the fact that the government is harsh on the river workers, and the river workers have resentment and quietly destroy the retaining dams and reducing dams.

Since it was not done by Hegong, there is no such troublesome Yellow River Dragon Lord in this world, so naturally only those thieves and traitors who are still lurking in the dark are left.

It's just that at the moment, Zhu Yunxi doesn't know whether what happened here is related to the White Lotus Sect and Shanxi Merchants.

But if these people were really involved, he would have to reconsider the power these people had accumulated over the years.

soon.

Zhu Yunxi and the others had already walked from the bottom of the embankment to the top of the embankment.

Although they have changed the government, they are dressed in brocade clothes, and there are guys like Tian Mai who are not easy to mess with at first sight.

They quickly attracted the attention of river workers and government officials.

The river workers just paid attention to it for a while, not knowing where this nobleman came from.

However, those officials who supervised, commanded, and personally participated in the construction of the river on the embankment hurried over.

Under Zhu Yunxi's gaze.

A burly official with a swollen face, but his body was covered with mud and water, and his face was dark, rushed over with a few river soldiers.

"Where do you guys come from, and what do you want to do on this embankment? This place is the construction site of the river governor's yamen. Something happened a few days ago, so you should not stay here."

Zao Li stared at Zhu Yunxi and the others with scrutiny.

When the dams and dams were damaged, the higher-ups immediately sent people over to check, but after finding out that they were not the cause of the disaster, they did not impose any punishment.

It was just that the chief officials in charge were transferred back to the Yamen of the River Governor of Kaifeng Prefecture. In the name of transfer, they were actually under temporary supervision.

Apart from this, there is no other following.

But the people on the embankment here did not dare to relax.

No one in the entire Henan Province knew that something happened on the river, or it was a major event, and who would rush to the river embankment at this time.

Zhu Yunxi smiled, and pointed to the location of the remaining dams and dams in the river ahead: "We are from Xiangyang Prefecture, and most of the elders in the family have the ability to control water. When we heard that something happened here in Henan Road, we thought about it." Come over and have a look. Next year, the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court will conduct public law examinations to become an official, so we can know in advance what is going on here."

At present, the selection of officials in various ministries and yamen of the imperial court is based on the examination of public law.The Ministry of Officials will organize separate assessments to select officials for the local government.

Zhu Yunxi used the excuse that he was from Xiangyang Prefecture, and because the elders in his family were good at water control, it was reasonable to come to Mengjin County to check the situation in advance.

After all, no one knows whether the next time the Ministry of Industry conducts the public law examination to select officials, it will use this Yellow River accident as a question.

The soap official nodded, but still did not forget his duty.

"Get your wayfinding vouchers, tooth cards, or report yourself."
