I am the carpenter king

After hearing Emperor Tianqi's words, all the ministers below were taken aback for a moment, and then looked at each other in blank dismay.It is understandable that the Qi family army was recruited into Beijing. After all, the Qi family army has done a lot of merit this time, but what is going on with the Sichuan army?But no one was stupid enough to stand up and ask, Emperor Tianqi must have a reason for doing this, and he had thought about it for a long time.If you stand up, I'm afraid you will have to go around yourself.

Nodding his head slowly, Emperor Tianqi smiled and looked at the ministers below, his own style had already begun to take root in the hearts of the people.To be able to carry out his orders, this is what he needs officials, not the Qingliu who come out and clamor for nothing.

"My dear friends, do you have anything to say?" Looking at the ministers below, Emperor Tianqi asked with a smile.In fact, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty were more accustomed to submitting memorials. Only when the emperor did not go to the court and the eunuchs controlled the government, these ministers wanted to let the emperor come out to manage the government.For an emperor like Emperor Apocalypse who basically came out every morning, the ministers seldom discussed anything at the court meeting, except for big things of course.

After Emperor Tianqi finished speaking, several people stood up, but they only talked about small things.After Emperor Tianqi replied one by one, the court fell into silence again.

Looking back at Wang Chengen, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "Let Zuo Guangdou go to the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Saluted Emperor Tianqi, Wang Chengen gently shook the whisk in his hand, and shouted angrily, "Let Zuo Guangdou see you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Yiwei who was standing at the door shouted, "Let Zuo Guangdou see you."

After a short time, Zuo Guangdou walked in slowly, but he was wearing civilian clothes at this time, not official uniform.Originally, he was a doctor of Jiayi, a third-rank official, with the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, and what he was actually doing was Liaodong Economic Strategy.But he resigned from Liaodong Economic Strategy.Those two naturally cannot be kept.I can't say that I don't want to do Liaodong Economic Strategy, the emperor will change my job for me!This is the rhythm of courting death.

So Zuo Guangdou's resignation note was naturally a resignation note. After Emperor Tianqi's quasi-playing, this high-ranking official of the third rank immediately became an unofficial and light-hearted person.But both the minister and Zuo Guangdou knew in their hearts that Zuo Guangdou wanted to change his position.But now it seems that he doesn't know where this person will go, so Zuo Guangdou goes to the palace.Everyone is looking at him.

"Student Zuo Guangdou sees His Majesty, long live my emperor!" Although Zuo Guangdou was stripped of his official position, the status of Jinshi is still there.However, it is obvious that I am not used to this title. It has been useless for many years, and I feel very awkward when I say it.

Seeing Zuo Guangdou's cramped look, the expressions of the people in the hall were all different, and Emperor Tianqi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, couldn't help but laugh.He coughed lightly.Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "Zuo Guangdou, how is Liaodong?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, is a man of great talent, and the students admire him very much. The situation in the frontier is complicated, and the students don't understand military affairs. They are really powerless." Zuo Guangdou was also very disturbed, since he came back Emperor Tianqi didn't see him either, and he couldn't feel his pulse.At this time, I saw Emperor Tianqi questioning.Let me say a few words for myself first.

Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi knew that it was almost done.Gently waving his hand to signal that all of them are standing aside, he said in a deep voice, "I have something to discuss with my dear friends!" He picked up a memorial and said solemnly: "This year Xia Xun , The imperial court ordered the river to be rectified and blocked. But at this time, there were corrupt officials who were rampant. Zhang Fang was sentenced to Guanhe in Cangzhou, and the river and silver were corrupted. This is the memorial of the imperial censor. Shaking the memorial in his hand.

The ministers below once again looked at each other in blank dismay. What's going on?Emperor Tianqi's thinking seemed to jump a little bit, and the people around him couldn't keep up.But there are also smart people.The gazes of a few of them fell on Zuo Guangdou, who was standing aside with lowered eyebrows.

No matter which dynasty you are in, river governance is the top priority. The so-called genius revolution, flood disasters have always been a major disaster in this era.The Yellow River bursts from time to time, corpses are often floating all over the fields, and the fields are flooded.

The Ming Dynasty was no exception. In the ninth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, the minister was sent to manage the river, and later he was sometimes sent to serve as the minister and the capital censor. In the seventh year of Chenghua, the governor of the river was established and stationed in Jining, Shandong.In the early Ming Dynasty, the Yellow River was less infested, and the imperial court took charge of the river affairs as the governor who managed the water transportation.In the event of a flood, a member of the Chief Minister of the River was temporarily dispatched to deal with it, and it was withdrawn immediately after the incident, which was not permanent.In the fourth year of Zhengde, it was stipulated that the imperial censor should be the capital.In the 13th year of Jiajing, he took the title of Shangshu or Minister of the Ministry of Imperial History and Processing, and in the fourth year of Longqing, he was added to supervise military affairs.At this time, the Governor of Water Transport can be said to be the same for a while.He holds water transportation in his hands, is in charge of the river engineering in the world, and also has military power.In the fifth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng reformed, and changed the Prime Minister He Cao and the admiral to supervise military affairs. In the eighth year of Wanli, he abolished this position.Until the 30th year of Wanli, the imperial court divided the duties of the river and the water again.

The ministers went over the matter of He Cao in their heads, but they really didn't understand what Emperor Tianqi wanted to do.A small Cangzhou Guanhe Tongju, a sixth-rank official position, the Emperor Tianqi would not reward such a small official casually, why did he worry about it?

"River governance is the foundation of the country, and the most important thing. Corruption and governance of rivers and silver are unforgivable crimes. I will never forgive such people lightly. My dear friends, I am going to rectify the river workers in the world and send a capable minister to do it." Officials, I have visited various waters and inspected river projects, what do you think about it?" Slightly narrowing his eyes, Emperor Tianqi looked at the ministers below with amusement.

The ministers below are all bowing their heads and thinking, although this is a hard job, it is also a fat job and a beautiful job.You don't know how much you will charge just for filial piety that goes to various places, and you don't need to deliberately search for anything.

But thinking about why Emperor Tianqi brought up this matter, and the style of Emperor Tianqi since he ascended the throne, many people were heartbroken.If something is not found out, or if something goes wrong, let alone the governor of the river, I am afraid that he will not even be able to keep his current position.

After a while, no one came forward. Although this is what the governor of the river should do, Emperor Tianqi did not say that he would restore the system of the governor of the river.No one can say anything about dispatching imperial envoys to the localities to inspect and regulate the river.But he didn't stand up and volunteer. It was obviously a hard job, and if he didn't do it, he would lose his life.

Seeing that no one spoke, Emperor Tianqi knew that his guess was right.This kind of thing is not something that anyone can do if they want to. In the words of the 21st century, the technical content of the work is too high for ordinary people to do it.

"Your Majesty, I have my own report!" Just when Emperor Tianqi was about to say something, a person stood up and saluted Emperor Tianqi, and said respectfully.

"Yang Aiqing, if you have anything to say, just say it." Seeing that it was Yang He, the censor of Zuodu, Emperor Tianqi nodded with a smile, and asked in a soft tone.

Yang He bowed lightly, and said in a solemn tone: "Your Majesty, since we are investigating water conservancy in the world, we cannot appoint an imperial envoy. Firstly, there are too many things to do alone. It’s easy to go wrong, and three times the river engineering involves too many things, it’s impossible to have someone who is proficient in all of them.”

Before the words were finished, all the ministers nodded in agreement, what Yang He said made sense.If you send not one person, but a team, then this matter will be very interesting.Not only can you brush up your qualifications, prestige, and connections, but you will still be on top of any problems.With Yang He doing this, the risk has been reduced a lot. Although the benefit is small, it is much better than before.

Nodding his head slowly, Emperor Tianqi also felt that what Yang He said made sense.After pondering for a while, Emperor Tianqi asked quite seriously: "Yang Aiqing, what's your idea? Just say it."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I feel that since it is an investigation, it should be divided into several parts. Some check the ability of the river management officials, some check whether the embankment is firm, and some check the corruption. One person is the governor, and the others People have their own responsibilities. The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry are required to participate in this. The Metropolitan Procuratorate can send a censor, and the emperor can also send a team of royal guards to frighten Xiaoxiao and deal with offending officials." Yang He bowed his body. , with a serious expression on his face, he expressed his thoughts meticulously.

No one was talking in the hall, Emperor Tianqi pondered for a while, nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "As Aiqing played, this matter will be done like this! But for the governor, does Aiqing have any advice?" The right candidate?"

"Your Majesty, the minister recommends Zuo Guangdou." Yang He pondered for a moment, but still spoke.

Emperor Tianqi was slightly taken aback, he really wanted Zuo Guangdou, but he didn't discuss it with Yang He, he probably didn't know, did he see it?However, according to Emperor Tianqi's understanding of Yang He, even if he knew it was his own intention, he never saw that he could do what he wanted.

"I don't know if you have any other opinions?" Emperor Tianqi asked in a deep voice, turning his gaze to other ministers.

The ministers didn't know what was going on, and they thought it was Yang He and Emperor Tianqi who sang the double reed, so naturally they wouldn't be troublesome.However, there were a few people who didn't know who they were trying to flatter, and stood up to praise Zuo Guangdou, which made Zuo Guangdou who was standing aside feel a little embarrassed.

Although there were some twists and turns in the process, Emperor Tianqi's goal was achieved, so he nodded slowly.Looking away at Liu Yijing, Emperor Tianqi ordered: "The cabinet will come up with a charter as soon as possible, and report it to me as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liu Yijing said in a deep voice after saluting the Emperor Tianqi.

"Let's talk about Shandong's affairs, and I hope all the lovers can speak freely!" Emperor Tianqi glanced around among the ministers, and said again. (To be continued..)
