Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 601
As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunying naturally paid close attention to some things in Goryeo.There involved a large amount of military strength of Ming Dynasty, as well as many issues such as food and wages. As a result, it was Koryo, so that Zhu Yunying could better manage other places.

If the war is corrupt, it will definitely not be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty. Many people know this well.

As Zhu Yunying's old team member, as the minister of the Ministry of Industry in the Ming Dynasty, it is not surprising that Yan Zhen came straight to the Hall of Martial Arts.

In front of Zhu Yunying, a veteran official like Yan Zhenzhi also has some dignity, for example, Zhu Yunying will definitely give him a seat.

Yan Zhenzhi, who was 57 years old, had gray hair and said to Zhu Yunying, "Your Majesty, I think that although the country is in good times, it is still necessary to build water conservancy and dredging channels. These things seem to consume money, food and people's strength, but in the end they are beneficial to the country and the people."

Zhu Yunying nodded slowly. He certainly did not deny this point, "During the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal was often blocked, the Yellow River was also full of silt, and the big rivers in various places should indeed be dredged. Grandpa Huang was doing these things before he ascended the throne. Now It should be like this now.”

Yan Zhen looked at Zhu Yunying directly, and said expectantly, "Your Majesty, I think that the embankment of the Yellow River should be strengthened."

Let me go, this Minister of the Ministry of Industry is inflated. This is a dungeon that has taken the initiative to challenge the difficulty of hell. This is to leave a name in history.

The Yellow River is undoubtedly the mother river of Chinese civilization. The rushing water of the Yellow River has nurtured the splendid Chinese civilization.However, the hydrological characteristics of the Yellow River also determine its many disasters.

Perhaps before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the upper reaches of the Yellow River had a good climate and dense vegetation.But slowly, more and more silt in the water of the Yellow River has caused the riverbed to swim higher every year.

Historically, Kaifeng was established as the capital by the Northern Song Dynasty, but the Yellow River outside the city was higher than the surface and became a hanging river.

The most important thing is that the several diversions of the Yellow River in history were out-and-out disasters.

The first diversion was during the Spring and Autumn Period, when the Yellow River broke through Jun County and diverted to Huanghua to enter the sea. After 600 years, it was diverted during the period of "Wang Mang the Traverser", and after several years of flooding, it entered the sea in HD.During the reign of Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yellow River broke through Puyang again and entered the sea via Tianjin.

The diversion familiar to the people of the Ming Dynasty was during the Jin Dynasty, when the Yellow River 'captured the Huaihe River into the sea' and divided it into two parts in the Central Plains.

In fact, this diversion also had a huge human factor.During the Southern Song Dynasty, the guards of the Song Dynasty pushed aside the embankment of the Yellow River. As a result, the raging water of the Yellow River invaded southward crazily, wantonly encroaching on the old course of the Yellow River.These also led to the seizure of the Huaihe River into the sea this time, and the Huaihe River still has no outlet to the sea.

The disaster of this diversion is also great, changing the water temperature and landforms in northern China and bringing serious disasters.

The Jianghuai Plain, which was once famous for its beautiful scenery and rich products, has been largely salinized under the impact of the Yellow River.The Huaihe River, which lost its estuary, has since become a "disaster river".

This has also led to large and small lakes in the Huaihe River Basin being silted up by the Yellow River silt, and flooding is becoming more and more serious.

And the Yellow River is the beginning of the disaster, because the current Yellow River does not all flow into the sea through the Huaihe River, but is divided into two streams, and the tributaries in the north have always been unstable.The northern tributary of the Yellow River was divided into multiple streams, either entering the Bohai Sea or seizing the Huaihe River.

The Yuan Dynasty was not without governance, but it was too difficult.Both the Yellow River and the Huaihe River are difficult to manage.Now it seems that the only way to improve the impact of the flood is to build a levee.

Zhu Yunying was silent for a moment, and then said, "This is a big matter. After Aiqing returns, I'd like to call more people for inquiries. When I'm ready, I'll go to the court to discuss the matter."

Although the emperor seemed to refuse, Yan Zhen was very excited.Because he knows the present day too well, such a major event that benefits the country and the people is what the emperor Zhu Yunying cares about, even if it seems time-consuming and labor-intensive, it doesn't matter, as long as it benefits the country and the people.

When Yan Zhenzhi left happily, Zhu Yunying frowned, "Without the battle of Jingnan, I don't worry about it."

If it was this period in history, Zhu Di began to be in trouble, and Ming Dynasty began to strife.A lot of money and food were spent, and countless elite soldiers died on the battlefield.This was definitely a disaster for the Ming Dynasty. Fortunately, Zhu Yunying's existence avoided all of this.

But now, Zhu Yunying has to take on some other responsibilities, and his existence has brought new problems.

For example, the massive Northern Expedition when he ascended the throne, and the previous use of troops against Japan, including the current use of troops against Goryeo, did not exist in history.

So Zhu Yunying also had to sigh with emotion, "Our Daming's foundation is still strong, even if it is Jingnan, the fourth uncle spent more than ten years building and moving the capital in Beiping, several times of the Northern Expedition, and several times of losing money. Sailing to the West."

Then what else is there to say, I can only say that after Lao Zhu's rule and recuperation, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is indeed very solid.Even if he experiences a serious internal strife, it won't hurt his vitality, and Da Ming can recover quickly.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Yunying said to Wang Chengen, "Call the academicians of the Imperial Academy to prepare all the matters of the Yellow River for inquiries."

Wang Chengen immediately wrote down these things, it is true that the academicians of the Imperial Academy are noble.But these people also have a certain role, not just editing books and so on, they can also become the emperor's staff at any time, and the emperor can ask some questions.

Zhu Yunying then continued, "Go to Qianqing Palace, please come over with the Supreme Emperor and the Crown Prince."

Go to the Hanlin Academy to pass the decree, and Wang Chengen will just explain to the people under him.As for going to Qianqing Palace, that is Wang Chengen himself.There is no shortage of people to serve His Majesty, and the Supreme Emperor must not lose his courtesy no matter what.

Little Zhu, who was brandishing a sword, leaned on the sword with one hand, looked at Wang Chengen and asked, "Big companion, what are you doing here?"

Wang Chengen immediately knelt down and said, "His Royal Highness, Your Majesty has an order to order His Royal Highness to have an audience at the Hall of Martial Arts."

Xiao Zhu kicked the tip of the knife with her toe, and sheathed the knife, "Going to the Hall of Martial Heroes again? We haven't observed politics yet, and we can't recognize all the civil and military officials in the court, and we are always asked to go to the Hall of Martial Heroes. What can we do when we go? Really, we can't do anything!"

Thinking of something, Xiao Zhu asked, "Big Companion, at our age, can we dance knives better than ours?"

Wang Chengen lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, at that time the servants were not able to listen to His Majesty."

Little Zhu looked at Wang Chengen, and when Wang Chengen's head was getting lower and lower, little Zhu was happy, "It must be that our father is not as good as us, so you can help hide it! Haha, we all know that even though father is a martial artist , just no talent!"

That is to say, the princes of the Ming Dynasty dared to do this, how many princes of other dynasties dared to arrange the emperor like this.

Just when little Zhu was about to leave, Wang Chengen said hastily, "Your Highness, let's take a bath and change clothes first."

Little Zhu stopped and muttered, "It's a lot of trouble!"

Although he felt that Wang Chengen was troublesome, Xiao Zhu was used to it.As for Wang Chengen or Shuangquan, they have a better understanding of these things, and all of this is probably due to some habits of today.

In the past, Zhu Yunying also liked to dance with knives and guns. Not to mention how good the marksmanship is, anyway, he often sweated and became transparent from practice.At this time, you must take a comfortable bath, but you can't sweat or catch a cold.

Lao Zhu was aware of the movement outside, but he didn't open his eyes, and continued to squint and doze off.

At this moment, Wang Chengen came over lightly, knelt down and said softly, "Qizou Taishang Huang Majesty..."

Old Zhu didn't even open his eyes, and asked slowly, "The emperor has encountered a major event? The prince can't go there, so we want to go there?"

Does Wang Chengen know what to say and what not to say, even if he is punished by the Supreme Emperor, he will definitely defend Zhu Yunying.Don't look at the closeness between the Supreme Emperor and the current emperor, but in the eyes of many people in the palace, they all want to 'stand in line'.

Wang Cheng'en just said, "Today, Minister of the Ministry of Industry will meet with us in the Hall of Martial Arts after his court visit. It seems to be to discuss some important matters. His Majesty has just summoned His Highness the Crown Prince, and respectfully invites His Majesty the Supreme Emperor."

Old Zhu squinted his eyes and said nothing, let Wang Chengen continue to kneel, or didn't notice Wang Chengen kneeling at all.Lao Zhu really didn't care about these things. He waited for his precious great-grandson to take a bath and feel refreshed before going to the Hall of Martial Arts.

It's nothing to make Wang Chengen wait, the emperor is still waiting!
Zhu Yunying didn't have any objections. He continued to review the memorial. He still had a lot of things to do, and he wasn't just waiting.

Under Shuangquan's service, little Zhu took a shower and changed clothes, and a noble-looking young master Zhu appeared.Putting on the cloak, little Zhu strode to Qianqing Palace, "Great-grandfather, let's go."

While saying this, little Zhu naturally came to Lao Zhu, helped Lao Zhu to stand up, and was about to leave with his arm.

Old Zhu got up cheerfully, and said gently, "Although we are old, it's not impossible to move. It's not good for you to help us wherever we go."

Little Zhu had a very positive idea, and said directly, "Then we don't think so. We are the great-grandson of our great-grandfather, so we should take care of him. If our father wasn't busy with court affairs, our father would definitely have to take care of his great-grandfather. Great-grandfather, we are the most filial to our father and us in the Ming Dynasty!"

Old Zhu smiled openly, without any doubts, "That's the reason. You are a good boy, and your father is also good. They are both good sons of our old Zhu's family. They are all filial and good."

Little Zhu became even more proud, and said, "That's all from our Zhu family's family style. We heard that our grandpa was also filial. Let's say, our great-grandfather and great-grandmother taught us well. They taught our grandpa to be filial and wise. Dad also learns from others. Let's learn how to be filial."

Lao Zhu was even happier. He was often coaxed by that precious grandson before, but now this little great-grandson is even better.Even though Lao Zhu sometimes knew that it was the two baby lumps coaxing him deliberately, it didn't affect Lao Zhu and Lao Huai's comfort.

As if remembering something, Xiao Zhu said, "Great-grandfather, in a few days we will summon the clan's children. Those who are of the same generation as us, we will take them on an outing together. We are the eldest brother, and we will take them on a tour."

As for little Zhu going out for an outing, Lao Zhu had no objection at all.Little Zhu is now going to take care of and control the clan, and Old Zhu is even more happy to see the success, "That's good! Let's not follow, and you won't have fun after we pass. At that time, you should also look at the clan's children." .”

"We want to clean up Wengeng. The little bastard said he was sick and didn't go to school, so he and his second uncle watched singing and dancing at the house." Little Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "Second uncle is also, and gave Wengeng a Silla maid We were so mad, the second aunt told us, and we gave uncle a letter in a daze."

Seeing the little great-grandson's distraught look, Lao Zhu was not angry, nor did he feel that his precious great-grandson had been tricked.

This is what little Zhu realized afterwards, and he was looking for love.If it wasn't for Xiao Zhu's acquiescence, some things would not be possible.Of course, Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu also turned a blind eye.

"Your second uncle is inappropriate. Your father learned to manage the harem when he was a child, and he also had to take care of court affairs. He went to see the people's livelihood and the officials' experience. Your second uncle kept dogs in the palace." Old Zhu complained, and said, "As long as your second uncle is more successful, your father should be more at ease."

Little Zhu said in a low voice, "Great-grandfather, Wen Kun is not good either. Yesterday we went to the East Palace, and he was still sound asleep. That kid was still urinating when he fell asleep, and the urination was so high! He still wets the bed all the time. , let’s ask him to kiss me, but if he doesn’t kiss me, I’ll pinch his face!”

Old Zhu looked at little Zhu and said, "You are Ying'er's son after all, and you will run away if you make your siblings cry!"

In the same vein, in the same vein, Zhu Yunying was also like this when he was a child. He liked to tease chubby children when he saw them.

Run away when you cry, but who dares to complain, even the mothers and concubines of those children would like to thank the grandson for being close.If the babies were not too young, maybe they would have to be taught to coax the future head of the old Zhu family.

Little Zhu didn't feel ashamed, and said triumphantly, "That's right, our father also said that he made many princes cry before. We just don't see many uncle princes now, otherwise we would all be made to cry." .We are so old, and many of our Uncle Wang are younger than us!"

Seniority is not only Zhu Yunying's pain, but also little Zhu's pain.When they were seven or eight years old, when they were in their teens, the babies who were still in their infancy were their uncles and elders.

The old and the young don't talk about big things, they just talk about the short stories of their parents.Don't look at Lao Zhu and Xiao Xiaozhu being together almost all day long, but they always have endless topics to talk about, which is why Lao Zhu has some nostalgia for this world now.

In the past, Lao Zhu wanted to leave a stable country for his descendants and cut off hidden dangers.After Da Zhu was gone, Lao Zhu really thought about staring at him for two years, as long as Zhu Yunying was stable, everything would be fine.But it's different now, he still wants to live longer, he sees his grandson, but his great-grandson can't bear it.

"Father, tell us to do something important again!" No need for any communication, little Zhu helped Lao Zhu to the Hall of Martial Heroes, "We haven't danced a sword well today, and you also said that we need to practice hard."

Zhu Yunying got up quickly, walked over quickly, and little Zhu supported Lao Zhu on the left and right, "Grandpa Huang, I want to discuss some important matters with Grandpa Huang. I brought this kid here and let him listen to it." , even if you can’t do anything, it’s better to learn more.”

Old Zhu nodded with a smile, and said, "Sure, he should also listen to some things. If it can't be done, it can't be done. Just know what's going on."
