Pan Deshan hesitated for a moment, closed his mouth tightly, but his eyes kept flickering.

When the check dams and water reduction dams are destroyed, countless river water rushes down from the upper reaches and is involved in the river water.

Pan Deshan knew that what happened on the river must be explained to the court and the world.

I am the governor-general of the river appointed by the imperial court. If I want to take responsibility, I am the best choice.

As for the river management officials in the River Governor's Office.

They are still young and immature, and they still have greater hope.

As long as you bear this responsibility and let the imperial court decline, you can keep these young river management officials. As long as they are still there and continue to stay in the position of river management, one day, the Ming Dynasty will definitely be able to let Roaring

The Yellow River, which had been venting for countless years, became peaceful.

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Pan Deshan lightly, sighed and shook his head slightly.

Then, he turned around and continued walking upstream along the river embankment.

Gao Yangzhi, who was next to Pan Deshan, also sighed and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.

Pan Deshan took a look and nodded silently.

The two walked side by side.

Gao Yangzhi said in a low voice: "Pan Shangshu is a man of work and a responsible person. If it were anyone else, I am afraid that the moment something happened to the river, the responsibility would be passed on to the officials who supervised the construction and reduction of the dam.

On the body.

Not to mention, just like Pan Shangshu, he has been on the river almost every day since he took office as the governor-general of the river. When the flood came that day, Pan Shangshu was in danger and was injured by the flood."

These are words of comfort.

However, Pan Deshan just shook his head with a calm face and whispered: "This is the duty of the guilty minister."

Gao Yangzhi chuckled and said in a deep voice: "Pan Shangshu wants to resist all the sins by himself. The starting point is good. But has Pan Shangshu ever thought that after you resist the sins, there will really be no more trouble in the court?"

Is there any dispute?"

Pan Deshan turned his head, with doubts in his eyes.

With the titles of Governor-General of the River Channel and Minister of Processing, I am responsible for the disasters that occur on the River Channel. Isn't the court still satisfied?

Gao Yangzhi looked at Pan Deshan's puzzled eyes and shook his head: "How did Pan Shangshu get his current position?"

Pan Deshan immediately replied: "It is only because of His Highness the Emperor's Grandson's favor that the guilty minister can obtain such a high position and hold the power."

Gao Yangzhi sneered: "Since Pan Shangshu also knows that His Highness promoted you, now you have to bear all the blame. What will others think? Is His Highness ignorant of people, or has he been deceived? If Pan Shangshu is guilty,

Is His Highness also guilty?"

His voice was not loud, but it penetrated deeply into Pan Deshan's ears word by word, making Pan Deshan's eyes widen and a look of panic and uneasiness appeared on his face.

Pan Deshan would never have thought that even if he took all the responsibilities, what happened on the river would still involve His Royal Highness the Emperor.

Gao Yangzhi sighed helplessly.

He whispered helplessly: "You guys... Pan Shangshu is like this, and so is Zhang Ergong, the Minister of Works. You are all capable people, but you don't know how to be an official. The only one who knows how to be an official is...

Master Yuan, who is an official, is still preoccupied with staying in Shanglinyuan Prison. It can be said that he has no ears to what is going on outside the window and only thinks about farming and raising cattle."

Pan Deshan was a little hesitant. After hesitating for a while, he said in a low voice: "Your Highness has His Majesty's favor. I think even if he criticizes, it will be fine..."

"Pan Shangshu should also know that the imperial court is now implementing the Hongwu New Deal." Gao Yangzhi stared at the expectant Pan Deshan in front of him. He felt deeply that in the future, there should be another assessment of officials' ways of serving as officials. He spoke.

Explained: "His Highness is the person who promotes the New Deal, and innovation has always been the top priority in the court. The management of the river started with His Highness, and Pan Shangshu also did it with His Highness.

If Pan Shangshu insists on taking the responsibility for this accident, His Highness will definitely be criticized, and by then the Hongwu New Deal will also be criticized, and will eventually be blocked and interrupted."

There was panic in Pan Deshan's eyes, and he said nervously: "Isn't that true?"

"No?" Gao Yangzhi sneered and said sarcastically: "Pan Shangshu really thinks that everything is smooth sailing in the DPRK? Does he really think that everyone in the world is yearning for the New Deal? Or is it that those who occupy more land and less

Will those who pay taxes be willing to take out the benefits they have put in their pockets?"

Pan Deshan lowered his head, murmured silently, and finally said in a low voice: "It is impossible for people to turn their backs and pursue profit."

"This is the truth, so there is no room for any mistakes now. And this accident on the river must not involve you, Pan Shangshu, and even the officials in the river governor's yamen must not be implicated!"

He raised his head high and stopped throwing his head, with a firm look in his eyes.

Many of the things in the New Deal were proposed by myself, discussed in the cabinet and submitted to His Majesty for approval, and finally announced to the world.

There are many things in there that I have already started to practice and tested when I was on Jiaozhi Road.

As long as the imperial court clarifies the local resistance step by step and truly implements every article of the New Deal, the world will inevitably undergo earth-shaking changes.

Pan Deshan finally woke up at this time.

He looked up at the emperor's grandson who had walked out a long way in front, and looked at the somewhat thin back. Pan Deshan's eyes kept flashing, and he immediately picked up his robe and quickened his pace to catch up.

When Pan Deshan finally arrived behind Zhu Yunxi.

He already said in a deep voice: "Your Highness!"

Zhu Yunxi stopped when he heard the sound, turned around slowly, and looked at Pan Deshan who was promoted to the position of Governor-General of the River Channel by himself.

He smiled slightly and said calmly: "Are you sure you are going to die to apologize?"

Plop.

As soon as Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, Pan Deshan already held up his hands and knelt on the river embankment.

"Your Highness... I have nothing to repay for the kindness your Highness has shown me!"

Pan Deshan opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhu Yunxi smiled: "I don't want you to repay me. As long as you can manage the river well and make the Yellow River truly peaceful, it will be the greatest reward for me, and it will not be in vain."

I have so much trust in you."

Pan Deshan's eyes turned red in an instant.

Throughout the ages, many capable ministers and officials hope to meet a monarch who can trust them.

A man dies for a close friend, and a good bird chooses a tree to roost in.

From ancient times to the present, many heroes and heroes have fallen into the tide of that era because they never met their close friends, Luo Jianmu.

Pan Deshan's forehead hit the river embankment heavily.

"If the Yellow River is not stable, I will not go down the river embankment. This will make the Yellow River peaceful and no longer cause trouble in the Central Plains!"

Zhu Yunxi took a step forward, bent over, and gently patted Pan Deshan on the shoulder.

"Control the river with peace of mind, and the rest will be done alone."

…

Five days later.

Zhu Yunxi, who was only wearing a brocade dress, was escorted by a few secret guards such as Tian Mai, and took Wang Xinling and Niu Dafu from Lanyang County to the west along the embankment of the Yellow River to Mengjin County in Henan Prefecture.

Under the river embankment near the northeast.

Gao Yangzhi and Pan Deshan, under the escort of soldiers and horses led by Ma Hongqing, led a group of officials from the Northern Patrol and fell behind. It would take two or three days to reach Mengjin County.

The reason why Zhu Yunxi chose to rush to Mengjin County immediately after meeting Pan Deshan in Lanyang County was because the River Governor's Office built dams in the Yellow River. One of the water reduction dams was in the river in Mengjin County.

To build a retaining dam in another place, the dam to reduce the water will continue to the west, into the territory of Shaanzhou Prefecture, and into the river north of Shaanzhou City.

To find out why the dam was damaged and the water reduction dam was destroyed, you must go to the site and see with your own eyes what the scene is like.

In the secret, Fusun Cheng of Fusi Town, Jinyiwei North Town, had also sneaked into Mengjin County with his people to secretly investigate whether there was a hidden secret.

Sun Cheng all the way, Zhu Yunxi all the way, Gao Yangzhi all the way, the troops are divided into three groups, the virtual and the real make it difficult to distinguish the true meaning.

Zhu Yunxi, who walked along the embankment to the embankment of the Yellow River in Mengjin County, looked a little solemn.

Compared with the situation in Lanyang County, Mengjin County serves as a dam. After the water reduction dam is destroyed, it will bear the brunt of the river water. The situation is obviously much more serious than that in Lanyang County.

To this day, the river embankment is still a mess, and a thick layer of river sand and mud has accumulated under the river embankment.

The place where materials for building rivers were supposed to be piled was in a mess, with countless materials scattered everywhere under the impact of the flood.

On the river embankment, the Henan Branch of the River Governor's Office had organized river workers to carry out dredging, first aid, and reorganization.

There were no officials to be seen holding whips to supervise the work. Even those officials from the river governor's office who were wearing official robes were covered in mud and water and looked extremely dazzling among the river workers, but they did not feel at all inconsistent.

It was a rare opportunity for Wang Xinling to accompany the emperor's grandson alone, and the journey could be said to be both exciting and tense.

He looked up and down the river embankment in front of him and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, with the document handed over by the governor's office of the river. If it weren't for the upstream Huanglu Mountain on the north side to serve as a screen for Mengjin County, and the downstream Fenghuang Mountain and Mang Mountain for Yanshi as a barrier.

, the situation in Henan Prefecture may be more serious.

Nowadays, there are several mountains running east and west, blocking the water washed out by the river. The damage has been controlled within a small range on both sides of the river.

The Governor's Office of the River Channel is also urgently mobilizing various materials from Kaifeng Prefecture. At the same time, it is planning to increase the production of bluestone, lime and other materials in Yanshi County, Henan Prefecture. It strives to complete the dams and water reduction dams in Mengjin County before the autumn of next year.

Rebuild it.”

"Do you think there is a Dragon King of the Yellow River, or why the dams and water reduction dams built by Pan Deshan with great effort were destroyed?"

Zhu Yunxi glanced at the situation up and down the river embankment, looked away, and suddenly looked sideways at the young governor behind him.
