The Minister of Works, Fang Fengshi, whose name is Xingzhi, means to act according to the times. In other words, he has a particularly strong ability to seize opportunities.

Seeing that the Ministry of Works was stripped away by the Ministry of Revenue, Fang Fengshi should have been heartbroken and bleeding.

But Shangshu Fang was not discouraged at all. Just when Pan Jixun said that the water of the Yellow River was clear this year, and it was more than a hundred miles east of Huayin.

Fang Fengshi raised his eyelids and stood up from the chair to Zhang Juzheng to salute.

Zhang Juzheng asked with a smile: "Why is Dasikong like this?"

Fang Fengshi said respectfully: "It is said that when Saint Confucius was born, the water of the Yellow River was clear overnight, so it was said that the saint came out, and the water of the Yellow River was water. This is the life of the saint in the sky, and the earth, mountains and rivers were all effective. The dust and turbidity should be eliminated, so the Yellow River was clear for a while. This is a great auspiciousness and auspicious omen. Who is the saint today? Only the Yuanfu who is the saint, protects the country, and supports the country!"

"Therefore, how dare I not come to worship Yuanfu!"

After Fang Fengshi finished speaking, the officials whispered to each other.

Jin Lijing, the Minister of Works, also stood up from the chair and said, "What the Grand Sikong said is very true. Zi Si used to say that when the river is clear, how long does it live? In fact, there are rumors that the Yellow River will be clear in five hundred years, and some people say that it is difficult to see the Yellow River clear in a thousand years. This... This is really a good omen for the eternal period, Yuan Fu!"

It is also an exaggeration to have a clear Yellow River for a thousand years, but officials in the Ming Dynasty generally believed that the clear Yellow River is a good omen.

Because the Yellow River was clear in the second year of Yongle, Zhu Di raised an army to seize Zhu Yunwen's world and obtained the throne. Therefore, when the Yellow River was clear, it also represented the will of heaven, and it can be said that he was borne by heaven. Zhu Di was naturally regarded as a saint.

Therefore, since Zhu Di, officials have generally regarded the clear Yellow River as a good omen.

Zhang Siwei also said: "Yuan Fu is so happy. My family wrote a letter saying that it was from east of Puzhou. The water surface of the Yellow River was clear and clear. The river fish were clear and the size was counted. It was true that this statement was true!"

When I saw the assistant, I was flattered, and the officials were chanting praises.

Zhang Juzheng also laughed and said, "How dare Bugu take this word? The saint is the son of today. When Uighurs were not attached to this tribe, Bugu once spoke to the emperor, hanging his clothes and governing him, and the time to be feasted in the river and clear sea; there is a pious moment to ride the axe, and the time to be thunderous and fierce drums, but unexpectedly there is such a sign."

The river and sea banquet is about a peaceful and prosperous era, the Yellow River is clear, the sea is calm, and nothing happens around.

Zhang Ju said in a memorial to the emperor that Heqinghai Banquet obviously also believed in the heart that the Yellow River is the meaning of peace in the world.

But Lin Yanchao listened aside and thought to himself that the Yellow River is clear, is it really okay?

On the contrary, when Song Huizong was reigned, the water of the Yellow River was cleared three times, and then...

When Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty was reigned, the water of the Yellow River was cleared twice, and a few years later, the Ming army captured Dadu.

Of course, in the Ming Dynasty, the clear water of the Yellow River in the time Zhu Di seized the throne became a good sign for a change of dynasty.

The emperors of the Qing Dynasty attached great importance to river affairs. When Kangxi ascended the throne, he said that he listed river affairs, grain transportation, and the Three Feudal Affairs as three major events, and wrote these three events on the pillars in the palace.

In order to control the Yellow River, the Qing Dynasty established a system called water to determine the astronomical phenomena.

The so-called water-determining celestial phenomena is to let flood soldiers go to the Yellow River to get water, comparing the light and heavy water to previous years. If the water from the Yellow River is taken, then you need to pay attention to flood prevention in the past year. If the water from the Yellow River is light, then you need to pay attention to drought prevention. The prediction accuracy of this system is extremely high.

Therefore, Lin Yanchao concluded from the clear water of the Yellow River that there will be severe drought in the Yellow River basin this year, which is well-founded. However, people at that time did not know this. Ministers of the Ming Dynasty still used the clear and peaceful rivers to describe the peaceful and prosperous times, and used this to praise the emperor in exchange for their promotion.

Lin Yanchao frequently looked at Pan Jixun, but when he saw this famous Yellow River water control expert, he did not notice it at all. Instead, he said: "If the Yellow River flood disaster does not occur this year, it can be called a peaceful year."

Lin Yanchao was speechless.

Lin Yanchao picked up the pen on the ground, but he was in a mess and did not write a word on the table.

Should I say it? Lin Yanchao was in a dilemma.

If you say that, then you will wipe out Zhang Juzheng's face and anger Zhang Juzheng. There is no need to mention those examples.

Not only did my Japanese lecturer lose his life, my previous hard work was in vain, and even some people would even be dismissed from office.

But if you don’t say it, where is your conscience?

Once there is a severe drought, millions of people will be affected by the disaster in several provinces in Shandong, Henan, Shanxi and Shaanxi in the Yellow River Basin. It is said that starving people thousands of miles away, and eating people with food...

Thinking of this, Lin Yanchao shuddered. He couldn't help but get up and want to speak, but at this time the officials were all scrambling to flatter Zhang Juzheng, and he couldn't speak.

Lin Yanchao sat down again and saw Pan Jixun sitting in front of his desk, he couldn't help but think of it.

So Lin Yanchao deliberately asked: "Making the platform, how is the rain along the Yellow River this year?"

When Pan Jixun heard Lin Yanchao's question, he said lazily: "Why do you ask what you mean?"

Lin Yanchao said: "The reason why the water of the Yellow River is clear may be that the rainfall is not abundant this year, so the mud and sand along the river cannot fall, so the river water is clear."

Pan Jixun sneered after hearing this: "This is really nonsense. I have never heard of this in my management of the river for decades. Don't let it be heard and make a joke like the theory of ills."

After saying that, Pan Jixun turned his head and did not want to talk to Lin Yanchao again.

Lin Yanchao was angry and thought to himself that you, Pan Jixun, would you still treat me as a rookie, saying that people don’t expose their shortcomings. Besides, although the Yellow River has not been cleared once every five hundred years, it has been there for decades. It is the first time you have seen the Yellow River clear during your tenure. It is not surprising that you have heard this truth for the first time.

Lin Yanchao originally wanted Pan Jixun to speak for him and persuade Zhang Juzheng. With his status as an expert in river management, he would definitely have a greater grasp of his words to Zhang Juzheng. But he thought his words were ridiculous. It is conceivable that even Pan Jixun thought so, how could he convince Zhang Juzheng?

Lin Yanchao sat on the table, holding the pen in his hand, but he never wrote a single word in his pen.

The church was like this, and the ministers and ministers of all departments left.

There were only Zhang Juzheng, Shen Shixing, Pan Jixun and others in the hall, and Dong Zhongshu was still discussing political affairs. On the side, he was already packing the manuscripts on the table and said to Lin Yanchao with a smile: "Zonghai, why haven't you left yet?"

Then he whispered: "I don't know if Zong Hai is willing to give you a look. I will invite you to enjoy the moon and drink at Jintai Pavilion in the evening, and recommend a few colleagues to ensure that you are worth the trip."

After hearing this, Lin Yanchao heard that the Jintai Pavilion was a famous gold-selling nest in the capital. Beauties are like jade, wine and food are also nearby. It is the best place.

"Okay." Thinking of this, Lin Yanchao responded and packed up his manuscripts on the table.

Seeing Zhang Juzheng in front of him, Shen Shixing, and Pan Jixun was about to walk out of the hall, Lin Yanchao suddenly stepped down and stepped forward a few steps to chase Zhang Juzheng in front of him and could not bow. (To be continued.)
