The Ministry of Industry Shangshu Fang is at the right time, the word line, which means to act at the right time, in other words, the ability to grasp the opportunity is particularly strong. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing that the Ministry of Industry was stripped of 240,000 taels of silver by the Ministry of Households, Fang Shi should have been heartache and bleeding.

But Fang Shangshu was not discouraged at all, just when Pan Jitao said that the water of the Yellow River was clear this year, and it was more than 100 miles east of Huayin.

Fang Fengshi's eyelids raised, and he stood up from the chair and saluted Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng asked with a smile: "Why is Da Sikong like this?" ”

Fang Fengshi said respectfully: "When the sage of Confucius was born, the water of the Yellow River was clear overnight, so it is said that the sage came out, the water of the Yellow River." This is the life of a saint in the whole world, and the earth and mountains and rivers serve the spirit. The dust and turbidity want to be eliminated, so the Yellow River is clear for a while, which is a great auspicious and auspicious omen, and who is the saint today? Only for the Holy Monarch, Baojiangshan, and Yuanfu of Fusheji is also! ”

"Therefore, how dare the old man not come to worship Motosuke!"

After Fang finished speaking, the officials exchanged heads.

Jin Lijing, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, also got up from the chair and said: "What Da Sikong said is very true, Zisi used to say, the river is clear, and the life expectancy is geometric. In fact, there are rumors that the Yellow River is clear once every 500 years, and some people say that it is difficult to see the Yellow River clear for thousands of years...... This is a good omen for the ages, Motosuke! ”

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

Because the Yellow River was clear in the second year of Yongle, Zhu Di raised troops to seize Zhu Yunwen's world and won the throne, so when the Yellow River was clear, it also represented the will of heaven, which can be described as a carrier from heaven. This Zhu Di is also naturally regarded as a saint.

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

Zhang Siwei also said: "Yuanfu is gratifying, congratulations, the servant family sent a letter, saying that from the east of Puzhou, the water surface of the Yellow River is clear, clear and clear, and the river fish are chronicled, and the size can be counted, so you can know that this is true!" ”

Seeing that the second assistant was also a sycophant, all the officials immediately sang praises of virtue.

Zhang Juzheng also laughed and said: "How dare you say this, the saint is today." In the past, when the Uighurs were attached to the Uighurs, Bugu once made a statement to the Son of Heaven, and he ruled by hanging his clothes, and the period of the feast of the river and the sea; There is piety in the Yue, and the period of thunder and wind is fierce, but it is not really a sign of this. ”

The Heqing Sea Banquet is said to be a peaceful and prosperous era, the Yellow River is clear, the sea is calm, and there is nothing to do in all directions.

Zhang Juzheng said in his recital to the Son of Heaven that the Heqing Haiyan obviously believed in his heart that the Yellow River was peaceful in the world.

But Lin Yanchao listened to it on the sidelines, thinking that the Yellow River was clear, was it really okay?

On the contrary, during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, the Yellow River cleared three times, and then 。。。。。

During the reign of Emperor Yuan Shun, the water of the Yellow River was also cleared twice, and a few years later, the Ming army broke through the capital.

Of course, in the Ming Dynasty, the time when Zhu Di seized the throne, the Yellow River was clear, which also became a good omen for the change of dynasty.

The emperor of the Qing Dynasty attached great importance to river affairs, Kangxi once said at the beginning of his reign that he listed river affairs, Cao Yun, and the three feudatories as the three major events, and he thought about them all night, and wrote these three things on the pillars in the palace.

In order to control the Yellow River, the Qing Dynasty created a system called water and celestial phenomena.

The so-called weighing water determines the celestial phenomena, which is to let the flood soldiers go to the Yellow River to get water, and compare it with previous years with the weight of the water. If the water of the Yellow River is heavy, then it is necessary to pay attention to flood prevention in that year, and if the water of the Yellow River is light, then it is necessary to pay attention to drought prevention, and the prediction accuracy of this system is extremely high.

Therefore, Lin Yanchao's conclusion that there will be a major drought in the Yellow River valley this year from the words that the water is clear is based on the fact that there will be a major drought in the Yellow River valley. But people at that time didn't know this, and the ministers of the Ming Dynasty still used Heqing Haiyan to describe the peaceful and prosperous times, in order to praise the Son of Heaven in exchange for his own official promotion.

Lin Yanchao frequently looked at Pan Jitao, but when he saw this famous water control expert of the Yellow River, he didn't notice it at all, but pinched his beard and said: "If the Yellow River can't afford to flood this year, then it can also be called a peaceful year." ”

Lin Yanchao was speechless for a moment.

Lin Yanchao picked up the pen on the ground, but his mood was chaotic and he didn't write another word on the case.

Do you want to say it or not? Lin Yanchao was in a dilemma.

If it is said, then it will sweep Zhang Juzheng's face, and what will be the consequence of angering Zhang Juzheng, there is no need to cite those examples.

Not to mention that his daily lecturer is in vain, his previous hard work is in vain, and even worse, he will even be dismissed.

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

Once there is a major drought, tens of millions of people in Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi provinces in the Yellow River valley will be affected. There is a saying in the history books that people starve for thousands of miles, and they eat people when they run out of 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 competing to pat Zhang Juzheng's ass, where could he intervene.

Lin Yanchao sat down again, and when he saw Pan Jitao sitting in front of his case, he couldn't help but think.

So Lin Yanchao deliberately asked: "Controlling Taiwan, dare to ask how the rain along the Yellow River is this year?" ”

Pan Jitao heard Lin Yanchao ask, and said lazily: "Why do you mean by asking?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "The reason why the Yellow River is clear may be that the rain is not abundant this year, so the sediment along the river is not falling, so the river water is clear." ”

Pan Jitao sneered when he heard this: "This is really nonsense, the old man has ruled the river for decades, and he has never heard of such a truth." You don't have to make a joke about it by hearsay. ”

After speaking, Pan Jitao turned his head away, not wanting to talk to Lin Yanchao again.

And Lin Yanchao was angry, and said in his heart, you are Pan Jitao, or treat me as a rookie, saying that people do not expose their shortcomings, and besides, although the Yellow River is not clear once in five hundred years, it is also the first time that you have seen the Yellow River clear in decades, and it is not strange that you have heard this truth for the first time.

Lin Yanchao originally wanted Pan Jitao to speak for himself to persuade Zhang Juzheng, and with his status as an expert in river management, it must be more certain to make a statement to Zhang Juzheng. But he thinks his words are ridiculous, but it is conceivable that even Pan Jitao thinks so, how can he convince Zhang Juzheng?

Lin Yanchao sat on the desk and held the pen in his hand, but he never wrote a word under the pen.

The congregation passed like this, and all the ministers and servants left.

Only Zhang Juzheng, Shen Shixing, and Pan Jitao were still discussing political affairs in the hall, and Dong Zhongshu on the side was already cleaning up the manuscripts on the table, and said to Lin Yanchao with a smile: "Zong Hai, why don't you leave?" ”

Then he whispered: "I don't know if Zong Haiken refuses to appreciate his face, I invite you to enjoy the moon and drink in Jintai Pavilion at night, and then introduce a few colleagues, and you will be allowed to make this trip worthwhile." ”

Lin Yanchao heard that this Jintai Pavilion is a famous gold nest in the capital, with beauties like jade, fine wine and food, and facing the Jade River, but it is a first-class good place.

"Okay." Thinking of this, Lin Yanchao responded and cleaned up the manuscript on the table.

When he saw Zhang Juzheng in front of him, Shen Shixing, and Pan Jitao was about to walk out of the hall, Lin Yanchao suddenly fell to the ground, and stepped forward a few steps to catch up with Zhang Juzheng. (To be continued.) )
