Volume 2: Hongzhi Zhongxing Chapter 67 Wynn died of illness
After the Zhengdan Festival, the bustling scene in the Forbidden City became a little quieter than before. Since the dinner of the last imperial meeting, Zhu Youtang lived in the Qianqing Palace all day without leaving home. Because the Yellow River burst and the sediment blocked the canal, it caused a lot of trouble. Zhu Youtang was very worried.
Outside the door of Xi Nuan Pavilion, Yanhai, the eunuch in charge, pulled Su Yin and pointed toward Nuan Pavilion, and said with a sad look on his face: "Su Yin, look at the emperor, he has been here for three days, right? How can this continue? That's okay, the emperor always listens to your words, why don't you go and persuade the emperor?"
Yanhai knows Zhu Youtang's temper. He doesn't want to be like the unlucky little eunuch last time who got hit by the incense burner and got a bruised nose and face. But at the same time, Zhu Youtang is his master. If there is something wrong with his dragon body, The problem is that it will do no harm to me as a slave, so I thought of letting Su Yin go.
Firstly, Su Yin has been very favored recently, and secondly, she is a woman after all. Sometimes they have to do things like persuading men, and women have to soothe men's hearts.
Originally, Su Yin only regarded Zhu Youtang as her master and savior, and had no special emotions. However, since she was favored by Zhu Youtang last time, she has regarded this supreme emperor as her man in her heart. Seeing that her man was in poor condition recently, Su Yin felt a little uncomfortable and nodded: "I'll give it a try!"
Su Yin walked into the Xinuan Pavilion and saw Zhu Youtang taking a lunch break at the Long Table. She did not dare to disturb her, so she cautiously turned around and left. However, she was stopped by Zhu Youtang: "Su Yin, since you have come in, why are you here again?" Want to leave?"
"Your Majesty, I really deserve death for disturbing your rest."
Zhu Youtang pursed his lips and pretended to be angry: "Su Yin, I have told you many times that you will not call yourself a slave in the future. You are considered one of my concubines now. Why, do you dislike me for not giving you anything?" Where’s the name?”
Su Yin hurriedly explained: "No... no, slave." As soon as Su Yin finished speaking, she saw Zhu Youtang staring at her, and she changed her words hurriedly and shyly: "I remember it, I don't know what the name is." The title doesn't matter at all, as long as I can serve His Majesty, I will be satisfied."
Zhu Youtang smiled and took Su Yin into his arms and said, "Did Yanhai ask you to persuade me? I know what you are thinking, but the Yellow River bursting its banks really gives me a headache."
Su Yin was hugged by her man's broad arms, and her heart was already full of love. She leaned her head on Zhu Youtang's chest and said softly:
"I have heard that the Yellow River has been flooded for many years and it is difficult to cure it. This burst of the embankment has killed and injured many people and destroyed much farmland. While your Majesty is worried about the flood, you should also pay attention to the body. You haven't gone out for a long time these days. Heartbroken."
"That's true. I haven't gone hunting in Nanhaizi for a long time." Zhu Youtang stretched his muscles.
At this time, people outside the Yanhai Gate shouted: "Your Majesty, I want to see you."
"Enter!"
After Xu Pu came in, he was about to salute, but was interrupted by Zhu Youtang: "The cabinet minister is in the inner palace, so these complicated rituals can be dispensed with. Has the cabinet discussed the candidate to control the floods in the Yellow River?"
"Your Majesty, I think it is necessary to use Bai Ang, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, to control the floods in the Yellow River this time."
"Bai Ang..." Zhu Youtang murmured to himself while quickly searching the memory in his brain. Since the last time he ordered someone to post the names and positions of officials from various ministries on the wall of the Wenhua Hall, Zhu Youtang has often looked at it.
Bai Ang, courtesy name Tingyi, was born in Wujin, Changzhou, Jiangsu Province. He became a Jinshi in the first year of Tianshun, and was appointed as the Minister of Rites to Shizhong. He is currently the Left Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Zhu Youtang nodded and immediately issued an order: "I ordered Bai Ang, the minister of household affairs, to focus on the management of the Yellow River this time. I gave him a special order to work with the three governors of Shandong, Anhui, Henan and Beizhili from the upper source breach to the canal.
Camera construction. After saying this, Zhu Youtang looked at his second assistant, Xu Pu.
"Does Mr. Ge have anything else to say?"
In fact, when Zhu Youtang summoned Xu Pu to see him, Xu Pu was thinking about how to minimize the losses in Henan and Anhui.
At this moment, the emperor really asked this question. Xu Pu stood up and responded: "Your Majesty, Bai'ang alone is not enough to control the floods in the Yellow River. The imperial court needs to send imperial envoys and governors to two places to provide disaster relief. At the same time, officials from various places are dispatched to Henan and Anhui to find out more.
Find out the real situation, make statistics on the damage, and then provide disaster relief one by one.”
Zhu Youtang pondered for a moment and said: "The order is passed, and Xie Qian is ordered to be the imperial envoy. He will be given one million taels of internal money and rush to Henan to take charge of disaster relief matters.
I also ordered that Zhan Shiliu Kuo, the Young Master of Zhanshi Mansion, be promoted to the position of Supervisory Censor of Shandong Province and Assistant Imperial Envoy to provide disaster relief and help the people without any mistakes!"
The heart of the emperor, the needle on the seabed.
Xie Qian is a newly promoted cabinet minister, and he has a good relationship with him, and he can be regarded as his confidant. However, Liu Kuo is a disciple of the first assistant Liu Ji. At this time, Liu Kuo is asked to assist Xie Qian in disaster relief. Xu Pu really can't understand, is it possible for your majesty to
Are you really not afraid that he will hinder the movement and delay flood control?
Suddenly there was a burst of rapid footsteps, and then the eunuch Li Guang ran in crawling and crying: "Your Majesty!"
Zhu Youtang had an ominous premonition in his heart when he saw this, but as an emperor, even if he had any troubles in his heart, he could not show it on his face.
"You bastard, have you forgotten the rules after staying in the palace for so long? How unbecoming is it to cry in broad daylight!"
Li Guang saw Zhu Youtang Longyan was furious, and thought to himself: "If I kowtow and admit my mistake now, it would be too fake. How about I cry louder and make the show more complete."
"Your Majesty~" Eunuch Huai... Eunuch Huai has ascended to heaven!" Li Guang cried louder and louder, and intermittently. For a time, the eunuchs near the Qing Palace thought that something big had happened, and they rushed over after hearing the sound.
.
"What? Huaien is dead?" Although Li Guang crawled in crying and Zhu Youtang had already prepared in his heart, when Li Guang said it himself, Zhu Youtang was still a little unbelievable.
Huaien, the great eunuch who had saved his life and was in power in the Chenghua Dynasty, died like this.
Zhu Youtang calmed down for a while and said: "I have been told by word of mouth that the eunuch Huaien, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, has an upright temperament, understands principles, understands allusions, is honest and not greedy. I think I was in trouble many times when I was young, and I relied on Huaien to take risks many times.
