The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Now that the matter of disaster relief has been settled, the most urgent task now is to send people to the local area to renovate the river and dredge the waterway, so as to relieve the urgent needs of the local victims.

In fact, regarding this matter, there was no suspense about who to send to this matter. Among the current imperial court, the most suitable candidate was no second thought except Pan Jixun, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry.

Pan Jixun was a Jinshi in the 29th year of Jiajing. At the beginning, he was awarded the title of Tuiguan in Jiujiang, and later he was promoted to be a censor. He inspected Guangdong. At first glance, it left a good impression.

In the 44th year of Jiajing, Pan Jixun, who was also 44 years old, had already become Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple. From that time on, Pan Jixun began his career in treating the Yellow River, and his whole life was inseparable from water.

The following year, that is, the second year when Pan Jixun took office as the censor of Youqian Capital, he used a newly dug river to connect with the old river that was growing rapidly in the city. This not only solved the violations in the city, but also preserved the river. In less than a year after Pan Jixun's promotion, he was promoted to a higher level and was added as the right deputy capital censor, but because of the death of a relative at home, he temporarily resigned and returned to his hometown Ding You.

It took 27 months for Ding You to leave, and when the date expired, Pan Jixun was not in a hurry to return to the court, but continued to stay in his hometown. The official position held is also extremely important. Although Pan Jixun just resigned temporarily and returned to his hometown Dingyou, that position cannot always be vacant. In that case, not only would he get into trouble, but the court would also be in chaos.

But his not being in a hurry does not mean that others will forget him. The time has come to the fourth year of Longqing, which is the aforementioned, the breach of the river embankment in Pizhou and Suining, now speaking, it is nothing, and there is nothing wrong with it. It lasted for a long time before being flattened, but whether it was a person who experienced that time personally, or an official who was just in the middle of the court and listened to the report presented by the following, they all gave guidance that the situation at that time was not urgent. Not only a large number of people were displaced, but they were submerged by the river breaking the embankment for two days, and many people have even lost their lives in the flood.

Although the damage is serious, the flood is still a flood after all, and Pan Jixun is not the only one who can manage the river, and even if another person is replaced, although he is not as capable and efficient as Pan Jixun, this matter is not necessarily the case. cannot be resolved.

However, the situation at that time was already quite serious, and at that time, no matter whether it was Long Qing or others, they were also very concerned about this matter, so, in order to be safe, the court naturally wanted to find the most experienced and the most Competent people will ensure that things are safe, so Pan Jixun is the only one who can take on this important task.

So this time, Pan Jixun received the imperial court's order to restart his official position and take up the responsibility of Prime Minister Hedao again. Moreover, after receiving the order, Pan Jixun didn't even say a word, and he didn't even return to the imperial court to report on his duties. He packed up and rushed to " battlefield".

Moreover, Pan Jixun also lived up to his high expectations. After working hard, he reported to the court the next year, and the dredging of the river was completed.

However, this time, Pan Jixun was not rewarded for his meritorious service, but instead was impeached. In fact, he cannot be blamed for what happened that time, because Pan Jixun was only busy rescuing people when the disaster was serious before. He didn't pay full attention to it. Yes, several ships used to transport Firefox sank. In fact, Pan Jixun couldn't be blamed for this incident. The boat no longer takes the river course, as long as there is water, it will float over.

But even if the boats didn't go on the river, it was not Pan Jixun's turn to make irresponsible remarks. But in the end, because others didn't want to take responsibility, they were impeached by Luo Zun from Kanhe, and Pan Jixun was bitten back.

And the things in the court are like this, ten thousand merits are not equal to one pass, even if Pan Jixun has made great contributions to the management of the river, and there are countless living people, but once this mistake is blamed on him, then he has no merits, and immediately, Pan Jixun Then he was dismissed from office until Gao Gong was dismissed from office and expelled from the capital. After Zhang Juzheng came to power as the chief assistant scholar of the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng planned to use Pan Jixun again in order to deal with the situation that would happen in the future and he could be used.

However, at that time, there were not many vacancies for various official positions in the court, so Pan Jixun could only be given the position of the right servant of the Ministry of punishment. And Pan Jixun did a pretty good job, but Pan Jixun always felt that what he had learned was not what he wanted to use. After all, his job was to manage rivers, not to deal with people.

But even so, Pan Jixun is very grateful to Zhang Juzheng, and Pan Jixun knows very well in his heart that although he occupies such a position now, Zhang Juzheng just wants him not to be too far away from the goal, or else he will be out of business in the future. What is it that needs to use Pan Jixun, and if Pan Jixun is in the wild, he will be brought up again at once, even if everyone knows that Pan Jixun has that strength and qualifications, he will definitely be criticized by others .

Zhang Juzheng did this to ask him to warm up for a while, even if there is something that people will gossip about behind his back, it is still a matter of the early stage. When the matter is over, all the gossip about Pan Jixun will disappear. When something happens, if Pan Jixun is entrusted with practical tasks, no one will say anything, and when that time comes, Pan Jixun will never meet anyone who dares to bother him and delay the business. up.

In short, Pan Jixun is very grateful to Zhang Juzheng for this reason. However, the reason why Pan Jixun is grateful to Zhang Juzheng is not because he is grateful to him for allowing him to continue to be an official, but because Pan Jixun's current wish is to have peace in the world. In the event of a natural disaster or something, he also hopes that he can be used immediately to relieve the worries of the people of the world.

However, although Pan Jixun's gratitude to Zhang Juzheng only comes from this, after such a long time, Pan Jixun's gratitude to Zhang Juzheng is no longer the feeling of being grateful to him for the sake of the people of the world. Among them, personal emotions are gradually taking over He gained the upper hand, so that later, when Zhang Juzheng died and the whole family suffered, Pan Jixun, who had not been implicated too much, couldn't stand the tragedy of the Zhang family. Zhang Juzheng's family felt sorry for one or two, but they were dismissed from office. Knowing that in the 16th year of Wanli, the Yellow River was in serious trouble again, and everyone was at a loss what to do, it was recommended by Mei Guolou and others at the time to be reinstated. In the winter of the 19th year of Wanli, the family was the prince Taibao, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and the censor of the right capital.

But these are all things for later, so I won't mention them at this time.

All in all, although it has not been said now, the person who controls the river is already the only one, and everyone present understands this in their hearts.

"I recommend..." Zhang Juzheng continued, "Pan Jixun, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, went to deal with the flood in the Yellow River and Huaihe River, so as to relieve the urgent needs of the local people."

"Zuzao," Zhu Yijun has naturally heard of Pan Jixun's name, and now it is recommended by Zhang Juzheng. Of course, there is nothing to say, and he will be ready immediately. However, Zhu Yijun still has some doubts in his heart, "It's just that Shui suffers from The two places belong to the two places of Huanghuai. Although the distance between the two places is not far, and Pan Shilang's water control is also very effective, but Pan Shilang has only one person, and he has no skills at the same time. It is impossible to go to two places at the same time to control the water. I don't know why. , Mr. Zhang has any good prescription, "

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have already thought about this matter," Zhang Juzheng obviously came prepared, and said, "Although floods are rampant in both the Huanghuai and Huaihe regions and have caused countless harm to the people, there is also a priority for this matter. , although there are a lot of people suffering, in fact, the situation is much better, and no one died because of it. On the contrary, the situation on the Yellow River side is very critical. Not only several states and counties have been affected, but more than ten thousand people have no There are more than a hundred people who have been buried in the water because of this, and even the corpses can no longer be found.

"Now, I plan to let Pan Shilang go to Henan to control the flood of the Yellow River, and the Huaihe River can't be left alone. There is not only Pan Shilang in the court who is an expert in water control. I plan to let Pan Shilang recommend someone to go to Control the water, in this way, things can be done, "

"That's very good," Zhu Yijun said, "Where is Pan Jixun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry?"

"My minister is here," Pan Jixun came out, bowed respectfully to Zhu Yijun, and waited for the will.

"You are the responsibility of the governor of Hedao. When the meeting is over early, you will report the candidates who will be recommended to Nanzhili. You don't have to delay and go to Henan immediately," Zhu Yijun said, "After you have seen it there, you can play it up." , state exactly how much money is needed, so that the household department can prepare it, "

"My minister obeys the order," Pan Jixun said again, and retreated into the crowd.

Now, this matter has already been settled, and today's morning court is about to end, but everyone understands that this matter will not end because of this, and there is still a very important decision that has not been made.

It's just that many people don't know, that is Zhang Juzheng's real plan,
