    After hearing Luo Sigong's words, everyone in the hall was stunned. Yang He, the censor of Zuodu, looked stunned, and Emperor Tianqi shook his head with a wry smile.  It seems that what is coming is bound to come, and nothing can be stopped.  Luo Sigong's expression was also quite ugly. He had just experienced the war in northern Xinjiang, there was a rebellion in southern Xinjiang, and the Yellow River burst again. It was really a leaky house and it rained all night!  Emperor Tianqi remembered that the rebellion in Sichuan was related to the war in Liaodong. The imperial court mobilized troops from all over the country to reinforce Liaodong. She Chongming, the Xuanfu envoy of the Xuanfu Division in Yongning, Sichuan, took the opportunity to rebel.  Now the war in Liaodong is going smoothly, Shenyang is victorious, and there is no major defeat in Liaodong.  The imperial court did not order the mobilization of soldiers and horses from Sichuan, so why would there be any changes? Looking at Luo Sigong, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Tell me about it! What is going on?" "Back to the emperor, Sichuan is located on the border, with various ethnic groups.  Mixed living is very complicated. The Jinyiwei sent by Chen Chen found the secret stake of Jinyiwei there. After many inquiries, he found that She Chongming, the Xuanfu Secretary of Yongning, Sichuan, had a disobedient intention. However, he seemed to have been waiting for the opportunity.  There has never been a chance. However, news of the Shandong rebellion reached Sichuan a few days ago, and She Chongming seems to be preparing to rebel against the imperial court when it suppresses the Shandong rebellion. " Luo Sigong looked very strange when he said these words, and he didn't know whether to laugh or not.  It's time to get angry.  Emperor Tianqi and Yang He were also dumbfounded. In this era, transportation was very underdeveloped and news spread very slowly.  The rebellion in Shandong has been put down, but Sichuan has just received news of the rebellion.  Smiling and shaking his head, Emperor Tianqi said helplessly: "When did the news about Jinyiwei come out?" "Back to the emperor. It was fifteen days ago!" Luo Sigong bowed to Emperor Tianqi respectfully and said in a deep voice.  Fifteen days from Sichuan to Mang.  This speed is not slow at all.  Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi hesitated and said, "Maybe there is a rebellion in Sichuan?" Neither Luo Sigong nor Yang He spoke. This was certainly possible, so they answered Emperor Tianqi by default.  Picking up Luo Sigong's secret report, Emperor Tianqi banged it gently in his hand, frowned and pondered for a moment, and then said helplessly: "Let's discuss it together later! Let's see what good ideas the ministers have!" "Your Majesty,  Sheng Ming!" This sentence came into use at this time, Yang He and Luo Sigong shouted in perfect agreement.     not long time.  All the academicians from the Sixth Ministry and the Cabinet came, and some of them had already inquired about Wang Chengen.  After knowing that the Yellow River burst, the ministers didn't know what it was like. The Ming Dynasty was really full of disasters!  Emperor Tianqi walked slowly into the hall and sat behind the Long Bookcase.  "Long live my emperor!" After the routine visit to worship, Emperor Tianqi did not hesitate and said in a deep voice: "I summoned all my dear friends to come here today. It's because something big has happened." The ministers below all raised their eyebrows.  Listening carefully, they found out that this was not the first time that the Yellow River burst, and in their eyes, it was nothing to make a fuss about.  Since there is a disaster, there is nothing to say about sending money and food to provide disaster relief.  But the ministers also understand that there is no money in the treasury.  This money still has to come from Emperor Tianqi's inner treasury.  As long as Emperor Tianqi provides money and food, this matter will naturally be solved.  After taking a look at the ministers below and seeing their indifferent expressions, Emperor Tianqi knew what they were thinking.  It would be fine if it was a simple breach, but this time the Yellow River changed its course.  Since Pan Jixun controlled the Yellow River during the Wanli Period,  The imperial court's finances have always been tight, and the dams of the Yellow River have not been repaired.  Emperor Tianqi also knew in his heart that there was no corruption of public funds for river construction.  After glancing around, Emperor Tianqi set his sights on Wang Chengen and said in a deep voice: "Read Zuo Guangdou's memorial, just read the part about the disaster." After receiving Emperor Tianqi's memorial, Wang Chengen was slightly startled.  It seems that Zuo Guangdou wrote something else in this memorial!  After opening the memorial, Wang Chengen quickly looked down. When he saw Zuo Guangdou's conjecture, Wang Chengen suddenly felt a cold air penetrate from his heels directly to Tianling Gai.  Wang Chengen tried his best to calm down his mood and prevent his voice from sounding wrong.  By the time he finished reading the memorial, his underwear was soaked through and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.  The ministers below had become serious at this time, and the expressions on their faces were a little ugly. They did not expect that the Yellow River was not a simple breach, but a direct change of course.  Emperor Tianqi looked at the ministers below, waiting for the first person to stand up.  "This is for your Majesty's report!" The first person to stand up was Wu Liangsi, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue. In such matters, the Ministry of Revenue must speak first.  Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "If you have anything to say, my dear, just say it directly!" "Your Majesty, I think we should first decide on a disaster relief minister and send it to Lingbi County, where the route has been diverted, to provide disaster relief. In addition, we will conduct an inspection.  ??The Yellow River embankment that needs to be repaired must come up with a plan as soon as possible.  "Wu Liangsi is also a very talented person. He is good at calculating money and food, and he also has a certain vision for grasping the overall situation. "My dear friends, do you have any other opinions?" He motioned Wu Liangsi to retreat, and Emperor Tianqi once again spoke.  asked. "Your Majesty, I think Master Wu is right!  The top priority is to stabilize people's hearts and raise food for disaster relief!  Now that Zhejiang's grain harvest has been collected, totaling 200,000 dans, I would like to allocate 100,000 dans to Lingbi for disaster relief.  "Another one stood up, it was Xu Guangqi who had just joined the cabinet. Emperor Tianqi was stunned when he saw Xu Guangqi. He originally thought he would be at the firearms factory, but he didn't expect he would be here. It was quite a coincidence that Xu Guangqi was at the Ministry of Industry.  After studying the matter of allocating craftsmen, he happened to come across it, so he followed him. Emperor Tianqi didn't say anything. Zhejiang's 200,000 dan of grain was indeed a lot. It was enough to allocate 100,000 dan of grain to Lingbi for disaster relief.  Now, the food supply for the stables cannot be guaranteed. It seems that he has to use the money to sell the food. Emperor Tianqi nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, I wonder which of your beloved ladies is willing to go to Lingbi to provide relief?" Next.  The ministers didn't say anything. Those who didn't have enough positions naturally didn't dare to speak. Those who had enough positions were thinking about it. Although disaster relief is a matter of great merit, it is also very easy to get into trouble! "Your Majesty, I would like to go to Lingbi to provide disaster relief!"  "Most people were still hesitating, but one person had already stood up, and everyone's eyes were focused on him. When they saw this person, everyone felt a sudden realization. This person was none other than Yuan Yingtai, Minister of the Ministry of Industry.  Many people in the court knew about Yuan Yingtai's past. Yuan Yingtai was a Jinshi in the 23rd year of Wanli. He was first appointed as the magistrate of Linzhang County. He built a long embankment for more than 40 miles, defended the Zhang River, and was transferred to Hanoi to divert the Qinshui River through the Taihang Mountains.  , the Guangji River canal was dug into twenty-five weirs, and tens of thousands of hectares of farmland were irrigated. Neighboring towns benefited from it, and the local people built a "Yuan Gong Temple" for it. The Yellow River burst at Zhuwang, and many laborers died in it.  The seats are in the house, the food and drink are moderate, the people are happy and the things are done, and the two rivers are governed. No one will say anything to such a person who started his career by regulating rivers. After all, there is no one in the whole court who is capable of regulating rivers.  Moreover, Yuan Yingtai is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and repairing the river embankment is a matter within the Ministry of Industry. He has not done anything wrong. It is just that the dignified Minister of the Ministry of Industry is going to provide disaster relief. Emperor Tianqi does not think there is anything wrong with it.  , it is naturally very good to have such a person to go. After pondering for a moment, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "In that case, then go ahead, my dear!"  After the disaster relief, Aiqing and Zuo Guangdou carefully inspected the Yellow River system and reported everything that was wrong.  Since Pan Jixun's control of the river, the imperial court has not renovated the embankment, so we will take advantage of this time to monitor it carefully.  " "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!  "The ministers praised together. It seems that Emperor Tianqi wants to build river embankments, but does the court have such experience? Where does the money come from? But no one is stupid enough to ask this question. There may be many questions, but  That¡¯s all we can say now, the rest will have to wait until Yuan Yingtai arrives in Lingbi. ¡°Luo Sigong, tell me your story!  "The minister thought that the matter was over here, but he didn't expect Emperor Tianqi to speak again. Obviously there was something else! "Yes, Your Majesty!  "With Emperor Tianqi's permission, Luo Sigong told his story. The ministers all looked at each other. It turned out to be a Sichuan matter. In their opinion, it was just a trivial matter. There are always rebellions among the chieftains in southern Xinjiang.  There is nothing strange about the matter. However, the matter still needs to be resolved. After all, it is related to the face of the Ming Dynasty. Many ministers already have angry looks on their faces. "Your Majesty, I have my due note!"  "The person who stepped forward this time was Xiong Wencan, the Minister of the Ministry of War. Since the suppression of the Shandong rebellion, Xiong Wencan has been promoted to the rank of Shaobao. However, he has never been an imperial scholar. There is no hope for the cabinet in this life. The Minister of the Ministry of War has come to an end. " "Xiong Aiqing, if you have anything to say, just say it!"  Emperor Tianqi looked at Xiong Wencan, nodded and said. After pondering for a moment, Xiong Wencan said: "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is rich all over the world, and the small barbarians are no more than ordinary people. How dare you act like this? It is really outrageous!  " Everyone looked at Xiong Wencan in surprise. This was not his speaking style at all, but more like those of the imperial censors, which made people feel very weird. After an impassioned speech, Xiong Wencan said seriously:  "For these foreigners who have such thoughts, they must be wiped out. I recommend a person to take charge of this person.  " At this time, everyone understood that Xiong Wencan was recommending someone! There are probably not many people in the world who are worthy of being Minister of the Ministry of War. Who is he recommending? Everyone, including Emperor Tianqi, was waiting curiously  Xiong Wencan said this name.
