With Rong Zhu's strong support and Li Minquan's support, the third master finally agreed to Hong Qing's overall plan and introduced the chapter on the river management in the name of the first initiative. Hong Qing, Chen Qidong, Rong Zhu and officials above the fifth rank of Tong Province in Henan Province all signed a joint letter and sent it to the capital in the form of urgent reports to present it to the imperial examination.

On July 19, 19th, the third master's memorial arrived in Beijing. Once the content was announced, the disputes in the court suddenly arose. It was because Shi Qing was in a hurry to pursue the matter. Although all parties had many objections to the third master's chapter, they did not attack. Only the censor Wan Fangmin followed the intention of the eldest prince and jumped out of the court to criticize the third master's father and son for being a strange and lewd trick and attracting favor, which was actually inappropriate. Then, the prince's side also questioned the plan to control the river, believing that it was too much to waste the people and damage the money, which was very inappropriate, and the ministers were upset.

Faced with the repeated doubts of more than a dozen court officials, the old man turned against the usual norm of allowing the ministers to discuss the matter. He was furious and scolded all the court officials who had stood up in a hurry, pointing out that Wan Fangxin was aware of the public and his false words were confused. He was demoted to the county magistrate of Haikang in court in court in Leizhou (now Hainan Island). All the other officials were recorded and their performance was reduced. Finally, he left the next sentence - who can have a better way to govern the river can be put into the book. If not, he would use this as the final decision. Once the words were finished, he would turn back to the harem, and the imperial gate listening to the government was over.

The old man has already had such a big attack, and who dares to repeat Wan Fangmin's mistakes? As for better river management, it is really a embarrassing court officials. Not to mention the other people, there are only a few people in the civil and military affairs of the court who know how to govern the river. They are all half a bucket of water. How could there be any better good strategies to offer? So, as soon as the voices of criticizing the Third Master started to rise, they were completely gone. In addition, with the pressure of clearing the debt, the court officials really didn't care about the Third Master's practice of governing the river. In just a few days, the Third Master's transcript passed the court discussion. The old man issued a clear edict on July 25, 43rd year of Kangxi, and approved the request of the Third Master and his father and son.

On July 29, 1943, the old man's clear edict was sent to Kaifeng. The speed of reply was really shocking. Not to mention others, even Hongqing, the initiator, did not expect that the old man would have such an attack at the court meeting. After thinking about it carefully, he vaguely guessed some of the foundation - the wind of clearance and debt is growing more and more powerful, and now, the court is stable on the surface, but in fact, there is a surging undercurrent. Maybe there will be a constant outbreak at any time. The reason why the old man suddenly became strong and high-profile this time is not only true to recognize the third master's memorial, but more intentions are actually to shock the ministers and stabilize the turbulent court situation.

The old man's intention is undoubtedly good, but in Hongqing's opinion, it is just a waste of effort. The court should be in chaos. It is not possible to suppress the scene because of the old man's strong and high-profile situation. No one of the princes would be happy to see that the Fourth Master can really accomplish anything. Besides, everyone owes a lot of silver to the treasury. Isn't this kind of money to pay out from the big guy's pocket? It's intolerable, let alone a lot of subordinates of the princes have been mourned by Qinggu's pursuit. The princes also need to join forces to make some counterattacks on this. Otherwise, the complaints of their subordinates alone would be enough to annoy all the princes.

The capital will definitely be in chaos. Hongqing also hopes that the capital will be in chaos. Otherwise, how can the third master's wisdom and ability be reflected? Of course, that's all a story. At present, Yu Hongqing said that the most important task is to govern the river. Only by doing this matter safely can the father and son have the capital to return to the court to clean up the mess. Otherwise, no matter how chaotic the capital is, the old man may not be able to remember that there is a capable third master outside.

It is obvious that only after the river management work came to an end, the third master and his son had the capital to go all out. For this reason, before the old man's edict arrived, Hongqing had already started to act according to the scheduled plan early. With the full cooperation of the two officials Rongzhu and Chen Qidong, the preparations for blocking the Yellow River in less than half a month were fully ready. Just wait for the Third Master, the imperial envoy, to pay homage to the heaven and earth on behalf of the emperor, and the construction can be officially started.

On the seventh day of the eighth month of the 43rd year of the Kangxi reign, it was clear and the sky was cloudless. As the hour was approaching, tens of thousands of strong civilians mobilized from Zhengzhou, Kaifeng and other prefectures formed a dozen square formations, and they were arranged in a row next to the collapse of the Yellow River outside Lanyi County. On a ground platform that was more than ten feet high, flags were waving. A bright yellow dragon flag was fluttering in the wind. The third master of the underworld stood tall and stood proudly. Behind him were Hongqing, Chen Qidong, Rongzhu and other local officials. Everyone stood silently and silently, waiting for the time to celebrate the heaven and earth.

"The time has come, play music!"

As soon as Chen Shi arrived, a ritual official was already full of energy and shouted wildly. In an instant, a group of drum musicians arranged under the high platform immediately started to play hard. The drum music was in the sky, but when the third master held the Book of Heaven and Earth in his hand, he slowly walked up to a nine-stage step on the platform, standing at the highest point. With a shake of his hand, he slowly spread the Book of Heaven and Earth, scanned the many square formations under the platform, took a deep breath, calmed down the tension in his heart, and quietly waited for the sound of drum music to subside.

"The heaven is above, my minister Aisin Jueluo? Xuanye has something to do. Now that the Yellow River breaks, the people are dead, and I can't bear it. I will tell the Emperor of Heaven... As mentioned above!"

After a moment, the drums and music stopped. The Third Master cleared his throat slightly, vented his energy, and began to read the documents to heaven and earth according to his script. As soon as he spoke, everyone present knelt down on the ground in unison. Everything sounded silently, only the Third Master's magnetic voice echoed between heaven and earth. The whole ceremony seemed particularly solemn and solemn.

"The river filling has begun!"

The entire text of the document to heaven and earth was written in a few thousand words, all of which were difficult to speak. Fortunately, the Third Master was extremely eloquent. After the long prayer was read, there was almost no pause in the middle. After the announcement, the Third Master not only saw sweat on his forehead, but his cheeks were as red as Guan Gong, but he didn't even have to breathe. He tried his best to breathe, and loudly announced the beginning of the landfill breach operation.

"twitter!"

At the command of the Third Master, everyone responded, and the action to fill the breach began in full swing. But as the sound of horns sounded, teams of people carried huge iron cages to both sides of the breach. Then, thousands of people who had already been waiting for aside came forward and knocked the huge rocks he had brought into the iron cage. Not long after, they were two meters long, more than half a meter wide, and half a meter high, they had been filled with tightly by the huge rocks.

"One two, pull, one two, pull!"

The iron cage was not placed directly on the ground, but was placed on several wooden boards covered with iron sheets. There were several low wooden piles about feet high under the boards. Several thick ropes were trapped on the piles, which were connected to several winches. As the iron cages were filled, someone came forward to completely lock the iron cage. Then he saw a local official who had already stood near the iron cage waved the small red flag in his hand and shouted loudly. The strong men in charge of pulling the noose worked together and quickly pulled down all the wooden piles near the river bank.

"Boom..."

As the wooden stakes at the bottom of the wooden board fell down one after another, the entire wooden board immediately tilted. Then, a huge iron cage slowly slid under the action of gravity. Although the speed was not very fast, its momentum was unstoppable. Soon, it would have already smashed heavily into the river. A loud sound like a mountain collapse and cracked the ground, splashing huge waves several feet high. After a moment, after the waves were calmed down, the originally turbulent river water at the breach suddenly slowed down, and several large vortexes suddenly rose up, making sounds like ghost roars.

"Drop the earth and rocks!"

As soon as the river water was slowed down, the river officials who had been waiting at the breach shouted loudly and immediately saw the crowds rushing, countless light-packed sacks filled with earth and rocks were constantly throwing them into the breach. Tens of thousands of people started, and they did not stop for a moment. The width of the breach was rapidly healing at the speed of discerning naked eyes. When noon was approaching, the breach, which was originally more than 200 meters wide, gradually shrank to less than ten meters. At this time, the water flow that had already been relieved suddenly became turbulent again, and the earth and stone bags that had thrown the people away all ran away. The landfill at the breach encountered danger again.

"Shangzhen River God Cow!"

The gap was too late to close, and the officials standing on the high platform were a little anxious, but Chen Qidong didn't care at all, because during his most of his life in river management, he had encountered this situation many times. With just a loud roar, nearly a hundred strong men pushed or pulled a large flatbed cart, shouted and slowly walked under the high platform, and rushed to the gap along the newly filled river embankment. In a few moments, as the slogan rang, the huge copper-cast sacred cow was pushed into the gap by the people. The huge waves suddenly emptied up, and when the waves disappeared, the turbulent water flow had already eased. Seeing this, the people who were standing beside him cheered and threw the earth and stone bags into the gap again.

"Close, close!"

"Fill it in, long live, long live!"

"God blesses, long live together!"

...

The end of time is coming, and the sun is setting westward. With a burst of cheers like a burst of cheers, the gap in the river bank that had been raging for nearly three months was finally tamed by everyone. Not only the powerful people below cheered, but all the high officials standing on the platform also jumped up, slapped in high fives, and laughed and laughed.

Good thing, finally done!
Chapter completed!
