I want to be a grandson

Chapter 505 At least not cruel

Faced with Cao Guogong Li Jinglong's sincere request, Zhu Yunxi naturally would not agree so quickly.

"Duke Cao is worrying too much. Who doesn't have any bad things in his family? Duke Cao's family has a great career. It's understandable if there is something. After all, no one is perfect, and no one is a sage, so Duke Cao doesn't have to blame himself for it..."

Of course Li Jinglong didn't believe this, if His Majesty didn't pursue it, he wouldn't let the news out!

"Report to Your Majesty, as the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, I cannot manage my own family well, causing criticism among the common people. It is really embarrassing for me to be so incompetent. I have written a letter to plead guilty and ask the court to punish me..."

Zhu Yunxi "comforted and exhorted" again, and seeing that he sincerely repented and had a firm attitude, he had no choice but to say: "Since this is the case... the cause of the incident is the loss of a woman's virtue, then deprive her of her imperial status."

Li Jinglong is naturally grateful, although his wife no longer has the title of death, and will be a head shorter among sincere wives from now on, but she saved her life after all!

This is equivalent to keeping the fetus in her womb, her own son!
But His Majesty can punish him lightly like this, but he has to be sensible...

After returning home, Li Jinglong immediately sent someone to send his wife back to her natal home, ignoring her crying and pleading.

In ancient times, a woman was sent back home by her husband. Although it was not as shameful as divorcing a wife, it also represented the rejection of her husband.

From now on, everyone will know that she does not abide by women's morals and has bad conduct, which is worse than slapping her in the face in public!
This may also be able to make my wife restrain herself a bit, so that she will no longer be unscrupulous and speak freely.

Li Jinglong must do this.

The key is not to "overweight". If His Majesty is dissatisfied, he will also be unlucky.

After dealing with this matter, Zhu Yunxi held a small court meeting.

Only six ministers and a few of my confidants participated, so it was a small meeting.

Ren Hengtai, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, proposed the addition of Enke. This matter was originally a good thing for the new king to ascend the throne and benefit the world. Naturally, no one objected.

Left and right is just an imperial examination, and the number of people admitted is not as many as regular subjects. Your majesty will show you kindness if you want to.

Qin Kui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, proposed a plan to remediate the Yellow River.

Of course, he didn't dare to fool around in front of the courtiers. Among the affairs of the Six Divisions, the Inspectorate was not a vegetarian. If he dared to act recklessly, they would dare to impeach him!

And it's a group attack, no matter what Shangshu you are!
According to the plan proposed by Qin Kui this time, the construction project starts from Kaifeng, passes through Shangqiu, Xuzhou, Huai'an and enters the sea.

Everyone gathered to discuss the feasibility of the plan, as well as the money and people's power that would need to be spent.

Building the Yellow River embankment is not a trivial matter, and requires the coordination of various localities. This section of the project alone requires the Henan Chief Commissioner, the Shandong Chief Political Commissioner, and the entire Nanzhili to move.

And Nanzhili has the duty of guarding the capital, how could it be possible to spend all its efforts on regulating the Yellow River.

So after discussion, it was determined that only the section from Xuzhou to Huai'an will be built for the time being, and it will be divided into different construction periods, and it will not be completed all at once.

Now that the things to be done are clarified, all that remains is to appoint the governor of Heyun to let the various yamen and local prefects do things.

"Qin Butang, managing the Yellow River and building dams is hard work. I don't know if you have anyone to recommend?"

Qin Kui replied: "Your Majesty, Huang Guan, a doctor of the Ministry of Industry, has made great achievements in river management and construction projects, and he has participated in the management of the Huaihe River before.
There is also the construction of the Hanshui and Xiangjiang dams, and he also has a lot of experience in harnessing the Yellow River. A large part of the river harnessing plan proposed by the Ministry of Industry was written by him. "

Zhu Yunxi nodded, "Huang Guan is a good person. He was No. 24 in Hongwu's 1th National Examination, and he was also outstanding in strategy theory in the palace examination. He was personally admitted as the number one scholar by Grandpa Huang. Let him come and see me later!"

"Yes, I obey!"

Zhu Yunxie said to the crowd: "My dear friends, to control the Yellow River, we need to dredge the river, build embankments to prevent floods, dig ditches, and pay attention to the livelihood of the local people..."

Yu Xin, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, said: "People's livelihood is really a big deal. After the land is salinized, it will be more difficult to grow food. If the people can be encouraged to actively improve the saline-alkali land and develop the salt-alkali industry to maintain their livelihoods, it is also a good thing.

Now in Kaifeng Mansion, the southeast of Lingguan Temple near the North Gate Street of Kaifeng City is full of salt ponds, and the residents in the south of the street, next to Xiaoqiang of Zhou Wangfu, also mostly cook salt.

There are many salt ponds near Xihuamen, and the saline-alkali land in Kaifeng City is located in the saline-alkali land around the city, especially the most extensive area in the northwest.
The southwest corner and the southeast corner are next in size, with an area that accounts for [-]% of the entire city. There are about [-] salt households in the city, with an annual output of [-] stones of salt. In addition to meeting the needs of Kaifeng City, it is also exported to Xuzhou, Hebei, Shanxi, Jiangsu and other places...

Naturally, the local people can hardly make ends meet by growing food, but they can survive by making salt..."

Bao Zhao also said: "I think it is good for the local people to grow wheat and cotton. The Yellow River often floods in summer and autumn. Once the embankment bursts, the crops will inevitably fail, and there will be food shortages, which will affect people's livelihood. The sowing period of winter wheat is in September. From January to early October,

The harvest period is around early and mid-June of the following year. Planting winter wheat can just avoid the flood of the Yellow River, so that the growing season of late autumn and early spring can be used to ensure harvest. Such experience should also be properly promoted. "

The people discussed for a long time, not only about river control, but also about how to protect the lives of the people.

Historically, after Zhu Di moved his capital to Beiping, the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal became the route of Cao Yun. However, the economic center of gravity at that time was already in the Jiangnan area, and a large amount of grain and materials had to be transported to Beiping. The pressure on water transport can be imagined.

The Ming Dynasty governed the Yellow River to ensure water transportation, changed the characteristics of "water flowing to low places", and artificially intervened in the Yellow River course.

A double embankment was built on the north bank of the Yellow River, forcing the Yellow River to flow into the Huaihe River and the sea along the old course of Jialu, which increased the drainage flow of the Huaihe River into the sea.

The large sediment content of the Yellow River leads to high sediment silt at the estuary, poor drainage, causing the river to flow backwards, and the frequent occurrence of the Yellow River overflow.

Therefore, it shows that the Yellow River flooded during the dynasty, most of the factors were due to the relocation of the capital.

In this life, Zhu Yunxi did not intend to set his capital to the old lair of King Yan, so the pressure on water transportation was greatly reduced, and there was no need to artificially change the characteristics of water flow.

Coupled with the active governance of the Yellow River, I believe that the Yellow River will definitely be much more peaceful in my own hands!
"My humble minister, Huang Guan, pay homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty Wanan!"

After the court meeting was over, Huang Guan came to see him.

Zhu Yunxi sat on the chair, raised his head and said: "It turns out that it is the champion of the six poems, let's be flat, come here, and give me a seat!"

"I dare not, thank you Your Majesty!"

Huang Guan stood up according to the etiquette, and sat on the brocade stool brought by the little eunuch.

Huang Guan looked 31 or [-] years old and had a square face. Although he was grateful for His Majesty's courtesy, he was not too excited to be rude.

The reason why Zhu Yunxi called him the number one scholar of the six poems is because Huang Guan got No.1 in the county examination, prefectural examination, courtyard examination, township examination, general examination and palace examination.
During the Ming Dynasty, No. 1 in the court examination, government examination, and county examination was commonly referred to as "the head of the desk", and No. 1 in the township examination, general examination, and palace examination were respectively called Jieyuan, Huiyuan, and Zhuangyuan.

Huang Guan not only won three prizes in a row, but also can be called "the number one scholar of the six poems".

Zhu Yunxi said: "Huang Guan, I ordered someone to find out your strategy and theory in the palace examination. It is indeed unique." , the border is safe."

Now that Daming is farming in the frontier, he just plows and keeps it. It is commendable for you to have such a vision! "

Huang Guan learned from Huang Xi, a scholar at the end of Yuan Dynasty. He was diligent and rigorous in his studies since he was a child.

Hearing the words and doing the salute, thank you, "It is my honor to be appreciated by Your Majesty for your stupid words, thank you Your Majesty."

Zhu Yunxi said: "Huang Guan, Qin Kui recommended you to be the river management officer, what do you think?"

Of course Huang Guan agreed, bluntly saying that doing things for the court is not as good as personal hard work.

Zhu Yunxi was very satisfied with him, and immediately appointed him the official post of river governance, and said to him: "When you come back from river governance, you can take the post of minister of the Ministry of Industry."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will do my best to repay Your Majesty's grace!"

"Huang Aiqing is dead! I am waiting for the day when Aiqing returns to court!"

In a word, Huang Guan was greatly moved!

If you want to win a person's heart, you must either give him a name or give him a fortune. Fame and fortune are two words that many people cannot escape.

But if you want people to truly return to their hearts, then you have to add kindness and courtesy, courtesy and courtesy to corporals.

Huang Guan, as a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, was going to be promoted to be a servant, and the grade had to be raised several levels.

And since His Majesty has said so, it is tantamount to promoting him to an official position!
It can not only give fame and fortune, but also warm people's hearts. I have to say that Zhu Yunxi really treats Huang Guan differently...

The reason why he is so valued is because he was a loyal minister in history!
This is another loyal minister and filial son!

After the death of his teacher Huang Xie, Huang Guan worked harder and harder, promising himself with loyalty.

In the 23rd year of Hongwu, Huang Guan entered Taixue as a tribute student, and later Huang Guan entered Guozijian for further study. The people who lived with him admired his efforts very much.

Huang Guan once drew a picture of his parents' tomb and carried it on his body. Every time he looked at it, he shed tears.

In the first year of Jianwen, Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunqi changed the old system, and Huang Guan served as the right servant and participated in important state affairs.

According to historical records, at that time, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, relied on his uncle and had an arrogant attitude. He did not worship Emperor Hui when he entered the court.The ministers were afraid of his power and kept silent,

Only Huang Guan contradicted Zhu Di face to face, saying: "The tiger worships the sky, and the emperor and his ministers perform the ceremony in the palace; the dragon's face hangs down, and the love for uncles and nephews is expressed in the palace", which caused Zhu Di to hold a grudge.

During the Battle of Jingnan, Huang Guan urged various places in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to send aid.The King of Yan had already crossed the river and entered the capital, and ordered to expose the crimes of Zuo Ban's civil servants. Huang Guan ranked sixth.

Zhu Di ordered the government to hunt down Huang Guan, arrest his wife Weng Shi and two daughters and hand them over to Xiang Nu.

Xiangnu asked for the hairpin bracelet to buy wine and vegetables, and Weng asked him to take it all. Then he quickly led his two daughters and ten family members, jumped off the Huaiqing Bridge and died.

Knowing that Emperor Jianwen was dead, Huang Guan was informed that the Jinchuan Gate had been lost, and sighed: "My wife abides by morals, so she will definitely die."

So the soul was buried on the river.Then he ordered the boat to sail to Luochaji. Huang Guan, wearing a court uniform, bid farewell to the east, and threw himself into the river to die in the turbulent river.

Therefore, Huang Guan is indeed a loyal minister who cannot be faulted!

He is the loyal minister I need!

Such a person, of course, must be picked up by himself and used for his own use!
After the Chinese New Year, the vassal kings from various places returned to their respective fiefs one after another.

During this period, Zhu Yuanzhang's legitimate sons, King Jin and King Yan, were the last to leave. This was also Zhu Yunxie forced them to stay several times and asked them to accompany Zhu Yuanzhang more.

One reason for doing this is to show one's mind. Since the two sons of the Supreme Emperor can be accommodated, one is not afraid that they will stir up trouble around Zhu Yuanzhang, nor that they will cause trouble in the capital.

The new king has such a heart, so other vassals naturally don't have to be afraid.

Until the spring was warm and the flowers bloomed, King Jin and King Yan felt that they would attract criticism if they did not leave the capital, so they bid farewell to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunxi.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that his two sons were going to leave, he didn't hold back too much. He just told them to return to their fiefdoms and keep their duties as vassal kings. Don't think that you are the uncle of the new king, so you can be unscrupulous and disrespectful to the emperor.

You must also do your part well, guard the border for Daming, prevent foreign enemies from invading, and protect the people of Li.

Naturally, the two agreed to these instructions.

Now that Zhu Yunxi has sat on the throne of the emperor, they have no chance, and they all know that their nephew is quite like his father Zhu Yuanzhang.

Once you annoy him, he won't be so scruples!
In the palace, Zhu Yunxi hosted a banquet to entertain them, which was regarded as seeing them off.

For King Jin, Zhu Yunxi told him to take good care of his body, not to work too hard, and not to be careless.

Jin Wang Zhu Gang knew that Zhu Yunxi was because Zhu Biao and Qin Wang passed away one after another, and he was afraid that he would follow in their footsteps, so he gave more instructions.

However, although Jin Wang sometimes felt that his body was not as good as before, he didn't take it seriously, but he was still grateful for Zhu Yunxi's concern.

After thanking him, he bluntly said that if he died, his son would end his loyalty to Daming.

After saying such unlucky words, Zhu Yunxi ignored his status as a nephew, and immediately ordered him to drink three glasses of wine as a fine!

In fact, Jin Wang Zhu Gang really didn't have two years to live.

In history, King Jin passed away in March of the 31st year of Hongwu at the age of 41.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was very shocked, with a heavy heart, and mourned unceasingly. He was given the posthumous title of "Gong", and he was King Gong of Jin.

The death of King Jin had to be said to be a heavy blow to the aged Zhu Yuanzhang.

Over the years, Queen Ma passed away in 15 years of Hongwu, Prince Zhu Biao disappeared in 25 years, King Qin Zhu Yu disappeared in 28 years, and his third son died in 31 years.

White-haired people give black-haired people ah.

In fact, Zhu Yunxi hoped that Zhu Gang would live longer, even if he lived three months longer, it would be better if he died before Zhu Yuanzhang...

At least not so cruel...
