In September, Zhu Xu and others had arrived in Huguang.

The heavy rain poured down and the river water surged. Not to mention the city of Changsha, even a small city like Yuezhou was flooded, and the water on the street reached its knees.

On the famous Yueyang Tower, Zhu Xu looked at the stone tablets of poems and songs left by the ancients, the couplets engraved on the pillars, and the various footprints of literati and poets, and looked quite emotional.

Zhu Xu held his hands behind his back and looked at the famous "Yueyang Tower Notes" and nodded, "These are all precious treasures left to us by our ancestors. We must cherish them and preserve them, and must not be destroyed at will."

Behind Zhu Xu are Zhou Linjiong, Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works, Yan Qishan, Governor of Huguang, and others.

Yan Qishan was a Jinshi in the 37th year of Wanli, over 60 years old. Among the many governors of the Ming Dynasty, she is considered a veteran member.

Yan Qishan also looked up at the stone tablet and continued with a smile: "What the emperor said is that my Ming Dynasty is prosperous in culture and education, and the works of the sages of all dynasties are extremely precious. I also cherish them very much. This Yueyang Tower includes 120 ministers and others as first-class cultural holy places, which are protected at all times and are renovated every year..."

Zhou Linjiong said: "I heard that the Royal Court has collected all the books in the world, including strange history, ghosts, gods and immortals, and has no choice but to avoid taboos. I am very excited about this. The sage's words have no different teachings, so books should naturally have no different characters, not poisonous things, and should be tolerated."

Zhu Xu turned around, sat down on the stone chair, and said, "That's the reason. Let's sit there, that is, I am just a little talented and knowledgeable. Otherwise, with the heavy rain, literati and poets could write at least ten masterpieces."

Zhou Linjiong and Yan Qishan were both from imperial examinations and Jinshi, so there was no problem in writing poetry and lyrics. However, the emperor in front of him believed that he was a little talented and knowledgeable, so how could they have made a move without tactfulness?

Zhou Linjiong sat on Zhu Xu's left hand. He looked at the rising lake water and said, "The Emperor, Yueyang Lake, Dongting Lake, Panyang Lake and other large and small lakes, the Ministry of Works has been constantly renovating over the years. The rivers in the upper and lower branches of each lake have been continuously unblocked, opening up several rivers, and digging many water storage lakes, flood discharge channels, flood gates, etc. Although the heavy rain this year is more violent and urgent than in previous years, it will no longer form a flood. Please rest assured."

Zhu Xu came from Nanjing and basically took a boat ride. He was very satisfied with the water conservancy projects of the Ministry of Works. He was naturally very satisfied with the specific implementation of the Ministry of Works. Zhou Linjiong, the Minister of Works.

Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I heard that you also proposed a minor repair every five years and a major repair every ten years?"

Zhou Linjiong said, "Yes, for inner lakes such as Taihu Lake, Panyang Lake, Dongting Lake, etc., there is no problem in five years of renovation, but the Yellow River and the Yangtze River need to be inspected every year, and overhaul may be necessary after three to five years of renovation."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly and said, "The cabinet proposed to re-establish the river governor to deal with the water situation specifically, but I have rejected it. This task needs to be placed in the Ministry of Works."

Zhou Linjiong could understand the difference here, and then smiled and said, "Emperor, the imperial court has carried out unprecedented renovations to the world's water conservancy in the past ten years, and hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land are added. I don't know how many people it will benefit..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Xu suddenly turned to look at him and said, "Before I left the capital, I talked to Shangshu Fang. Speaking of you, he originally planned to transfer you to the capital and get the title of Shangshu, and be responsible for on-site division. Did you refuse?"

Zhou Linjiong knew that Fang Kongzhao admired him very much and kept persuading him to enter the capital. When he saw His Majesty the Emperor asked, he bent and said, "Go back to the emperor, I have been in the Ministry of Works for ten years and I have too many things to do, and I am afraid that the later generations may not be able to take over them all. Therefore, I want to start and end well, and then consider other things after doing these."

He Sancai's memorial was attacked by Qin Liangyu as a woman, both inside and outside, and was cited by classics and well-founded. He almost described Qin Liangyu as a shameless woman who harmed the country and the people and caused chaos in the world.

The story of the current Ming Dynasty that this person who went out of the city to welcome Qin Liangyu was long ago. Everyone knows that Zhu Xu has a special favor for this female general. Who would write such a memoir without any wits at this time?

You should know that such a risk is very high. With Zhu Xu's age, it is equivalent to breaking off his own career!

Someone just wrote it, and he was the president of the Beijing University!

In my heart, Yan Qishan did not agree with Qin Liangyu as the marshal of the General's Office and the right assistant of the cabinet. This... is too ridiculous!

But judging from Qin Liangyu's resume, seriously, there is no problem. Further, what threat can an elderly man in his seventies pose in a system like the Ming Dynasty?

The problem is that Qin Liangyu is a woman!

What kind of scene will a woman join the court, stand among a group of men, or in front of her? What kind of scene will it shake the officialdom? What kind of impact will it have in the people?

This is a challenge to the ethical principles of the Central Plains dynasty for thousands of years!

Most scholars are unacceptable!

Yan Qishan's heart was bright and she never said much.

On the one hand, there are possible opposition, and on the other hand, there is today's strong support. It is hard to say who wins and who loses.

Zhu Xu ignored Zhou Linjiong's words and glanced at Yan Qishan, and could probably guess the true attitude of the government and the opposition.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Xu said, "Issuing an order to severely rebuke He Sancai. First, listen to rumors and spread rumors, but do not distinguish right from wrong. Second, he discusses the government affairs and has a bad influence. Third, he maliciously attacks the court officials and disrespects the law and discipline. Fourth, he has improper moral integrity and has shortcomings. Fifth, his words are despicable and his character is misconduct. Sixth..."

Zhu Xu said He Sancai's sixteen serious crimes in one breath and waved his hand.

Li Deyong hurriedly wrote it down, responded, and went to a pavilion not far away, and arranged for someone to send a letter to the capital.

After a while, Li Deyong looked at the carrier pigeon flying towards the sky and whispered to himself: "There is fun in the capital."

The internal surveillance beside him bowed and shivered slightly.

They are all old eunuchs, and they watched the wind and rain coldly in the capital.

This He Sancai, regardless of whether there is anyone behind him, is just the beginning.

In Zhu Xu's plan, he didn't go to Sichuan, but He Sancai's comment was an accident. Zhu Xu deliberately changed the plan and went to Sichuan.

Sichuan, the former country of Tianfu, was devastated under the disaster. Even though the court has been constantly transfusions over the years, it is still exhausted, the people are tired and struggling to live.

Zhu Xu inspected all aspects of Sichuan's "New Policy" and then stayed in the military camp for a few days. The day after Zhu Xu left Chengdu, Sichuan Governor Lin Youting and Western War Zone Grand Governor Xiong Tingbi jointly signed an article "The Revival and Challenge of the Kingdom of Heavenly Prefecture" and published it in the court newspaper.

The history of development in Sichuan, especially after the tenth year of Wanli, was very proud of some people who made outstanding contributions and praised them. Qin Liangyu's name here is particularly eye-catching.

The capital city, the Grand Marshal's Mansion.

Sun Chengzong, who had rarely entered the palace, sat in a wheelchair and looked at Qin Liangyu in front of him, and smiled and said, "There is nothing scary about soldiers coming to block the water and soil."

Qin Liangyu is naturally fearless. What she is worried about is that she will put Zhu Xu in an unfavorable situation. This is not the public opinion in front of her, but the history of the past thousands of years!

She knew that Zhu Xu had some special trust in her, which was somewhat beyond the monarch's trust in his ministers. Qin Liangyu, an old lady in her seventies, naturally could not tell about the things that men and women were, but she could not figure out where they came from.

Although many people think that Cao Wenzhao will be the one who succeeded Sun Chengzong, the senior officials know that the one who belongs to the Qing Dynasty is Qin Liangyu.

Qin Liangyu listened to Sun Chengzong's words, raised his hand and said calmly: "Let the marshal bother."
