As time comes.

The man's eyes narrowed, and he picked up the token on the confession.

Oops.

The token was thrown high and fell to the ground.

There was a clang.

"The time has come."

"cut!"

puff.

The executioners drank strong wine from their mouths and spat on their swords.

The red tassel flutters.

A knife with a cold light was raised high, and then fell heavily.

"ah!"

"Killed!"

There were exclamations in the crowd.

There were also some ragged people holding bowls in their hands who wanted to approach the execution platform, but they were stopped by the guards, officers and soldiers.

The emperor's grandson was not far away, and no one dared to ask these common people to do such unspeakable things in front of the emperor's grandson, the elders, and the officials.

Behind the railing of a high-rise building.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes flashed with light as he watched the corpses being lifted up. As soon as they passed by, he looked at the common people holding bowls in their hands who were blocked by the officers and soldiers.

"They want these people's blood."

Gao Yangzhi's heart moved, and he couldn't believe that the emperor's grandson actually knew about this matter.

He couldn't help but look at Pei Benzhi, the envoy of Henan Province.

Pei Benzhi also found it difficult to talk about it. Such bad folk customs have always been unspeakable.

In all interactions, the government turned a blind eye.

"Um?"

When Zhu Yunxi saw that no one was speaking, he uttered a question and turned to look at the officials on both sides: "I shouldn't investigate the reasons for the bad habits of the people. To be honest, the court is not doing a good enough job, and the Huimin Medical Bureau cannot always take care of it.

To all the people who are sick but have no money to treat them.”

As the chief envoy of Henan Province, he also had the actions of those people just now.

Pei Benzhi had no choice but to bow and speak: "The imperial court is benevolent and righteous, and loves the people like a son. However, the ministers did not work hard enough, causing the king and father's people to suffer from illness and seek help without medical treatment."

Zhu Yunxi showed a trace of sadness on his face.

He thought of many things that had long been forgotten.

It's just that it's hard to talk about, and no one can explain it to me.

After a while, he sighed and said: "Let me tell you to the imperial court. From now on, local officials will not be allowed to do anything like this!"

He raised his head, nodded and cupped his hands: "I accept your order."

Zhu Yunxi then said again: "The governor's office of the river."

Pan Deshan's brows twitched, he turned around and bowed with his hands in his hands: "I'm here."

"Everything on the river has been clarified now, and the causes and consequences are known. The matter will be reported to heaven, and the matter will be considered settled."

Zhu Yunxi's tone was calm, just stating a fact.

Pan Deshan, on the other hand, expressed his feelings: "I and others are unfavorable in managing the river and have failed to live up to His Highness's expectations."

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "What happened on the river can be seen clearly by the imperial court, and I can see it clearly. You have worked hard, and the subjects on the river have worked hard.

Just for the matter of river management, you have set a limit of thirty years, and you have imagined fifty years, but you have to plan for a hundred years. The court will not change the order overnight. If you Pan De is good at managing the river, someone will continue to manage it in the future.

river.

It's easy to do it, and do it more carefully. Don't do it because it is a good thing that has great merit and will allow future generations to build temples and statues for you, but it turns out to be a bad thing.

His Majesty's body is in good health, and the prince is in his prime. How can Gu live another fifty years? Gu's heirs will also be educated on the importance of river management.

The Ming Dynasty's river management will not be shaken for a hundred years.

Within a hundred years, you and the people you train will have nothing to worry about."

Pan Deshan was once again moved by the young emperor grandson in front of him.

The group of officials from the River Governor's Yamen behind him were already kneeling on the ground.

Some people even had their eyes turned red, lowered their heads, and burst into tears.

The imperial court remembers their hard work, and His Highness remembers their difficulties.

It's worth it!

Pan Deshan also waved his robe and knelt down.

"I am determined to live up to His Highness's trust!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Henan Province has experienced many changes this year. Your respective yamen should be closer together."

"I will obey the order."

"I'm gone. I'm still leading the errand of patrolling the north on behalf of the imperial court. What's next for the Henan Road? I've already handed it over."

Amidst the sound of farewell, Zhu Yunxi, Gao Yangzhi and others, along with the officials from the Northern Patrol, disappeared from the tall building.

Towards sunset.

The Yellow River embankment in Mengjin County.

The rolling river flows from west to east, just like it has for millions of years, flowing endlessly.

On the river, there were boats prepared by the river governor's office waiting for a long time.

Officials and soldiers of the Northern Patrol had already begun to board the ship one by one.

On the river embankment, Zhu Yunxi looked at the river with his hands behind his back, looking towards the other side of the river bank.

"Originally, we were supposed to go through Huaiqing Prefecture, transfer to Weihui Prefecture, Zhangde Prefecture, enter Hebei Road, and then go from Beiping Prefecture to Guanwai."

Gao Yangzhi's eyes flickered, and he seemed to be moved and said: "This is the route of His Highness's northern tour that was originally planned. Does Your Highness want to change the route now?"

Zhu Yunxi turned back to look at Gao Yangzhi, with a smile on his face that Mr. Gao Ge did not want to see.

"Cross the river and enter Shanxi Road!"
