"Your Majesty, this man is named Chen Huang, whose courtesy name is Tianyi, and is from Jiaxing. He was born in the seventh year of Tianqi. He did not like Balepa since childhood. He specialized in reading water conservancy works. He personally went to Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, and Hetao to investigate, carefully studied the study of Yellow River management, and wrote the book "River Prevention and Words"." Ren Jian replied.

"Chen Huang? Could it be Chen Huang, the He Bo in Eryuehe's book "The Emperor Kangxi"? His name, origin, and age are the same? If Ren Shi said, Chen Huang was twenty-four years old, but Chen Huang in "The Emperor Kangxi" was born in the tenth year of Chongzhen, and was ten years younger than Chen Huang mentioned by Ren Shi. Could it be that the novelist said that he should not be trusted?" Zhu Youlang became very interested in Chen Huang as soon as he heard this.

"Where is Chen Huang now?" Zhu Youlang asked.

"Go back to Your Majesty, Chen Huang is in my house." Ren Yan replied.

"Yes, Ren Ji also knows how to gather talents. He is a kind-hearted person." Zhu Youlang thought to himself.

"You and the other three will retreat for the time being and have a peace of mind to do the job. I will be given a decree later." Zhu Youlang did not express his opinion on the governor's matter and ordered the three candidates to withdraw.

Hou Xun and his son and Ren Shi received the order and retreated.

"My dear friends, how about it?" Zhu Youlang asked.

"Your Majesty, I think Hou Fangyu's political thinking is clear, and compared to his father, he has the power to 'grow out of the blue and better than the blue'. As for Lord Ren, I think he only has the experience of governing the river, but not a holistic talent. Therefore, I think Hou Fangyu should have this position." Huang Zongxi was the first to stand up and support Hou Fangyu.

"I'm going to discuss it." Chen Zizhuang and Chen Bangyan agreed with Huang Zongxi's proposal.

"Your Majesty, I dare not agree with Lord Huang's words. Hou Dazhen was the censor of Henan Province and had an experience of being an official in the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War. It can be said that he is old and stronger. I think that Henan is poor and has been in chaos for a long time, and in the future, there will be military use against neighboring Shaanxi, Anhui, Shandong and Shanxi. I should use this experience to the stone chamber and hold an emphasis on old ministers." Lu Daqi expressed his opposition and strongly supported Hou Xun.

What he meant was that he was worried about the young Hou Fangyu.

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I'm going to discuss it."

Wu Bing and Yang Qiaoran both agreed with Lu Daqi's suggestions.

"Qi Tian, ​​you are in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, what about your opinions?" Three to three, the cabinet's opinions were divided into two factions. Zhu Youlang felt that the reasons for the two factions had their own reasons, so he was unable to make up his mind for a moment, so he asked Qu Shixi again.

"When you come back to your Majesty, all the great masters regard the father and son of the Hou family as the best candidate, but I think the great master is the best candidate." Qu Shisi replied.

"Oh? Why?" Zhu Youlang asked.

"When you come back to Your Majesty, I have two reasons. First, Hou Xun Hou has rich experience as an official, but he has lost his experience as an old man; Hou Fangyu Hou is young and strong, but he has lost his experience as an official. Only the two are both. Second, it is easy to govern the river and it is difficult to govern the river. As long as Henan cures the Yellow River floods, it is not difficult to govern the government." Qu Shisi replied.

"Okay, Qitian, it was three to three just now. I thought you could help me decide, but I didn't expect you to propose another plan. Isn't this embarrassing me?" Zhu Youlang pointed at Qu Shisi and smiled.

Everyone laughed.

"Okay, your husband is right, and your mother is right. This matter is really difficult to deal with. If you are difficult, don't do it for now. Let me leave it alone. I will think about it again. Now, let it be discussed and rewarded." Zhu Youlang said.

Next, everyone began to discuss the issue of rewards from the Left Route Army.

This matter is not difficult to deal with, after all, the credit is there, and it was quickly agreed.

Li Dingguo, Ma Baojue was added to the first level; Feng Shuangli, Ma Jinzhong, and Bai Wenxuan all rewarded the fourth-class master, and surrendered general Lin Zhengping was appointed as the general of Henan and was the commander-in-chief of Henan;

Hu Xuan, the leader of the "Night Owl", who made extraordinary achievements, was appointed as a guerrilla general, and the "Night Owl" was expanded into the rank of the Ministry;

Wang Changxi, who was bravely executed, was posthumously awarded the title of "People's Hero" with two other soldiers. He engraved the deeds of three people on the Kaifeng monument for future generations to admire.

In addition, the three were not married, so they had no children. They asked their families to adopt one son to three, so they continued their bloodlines and enjoyed the incense of descendants. Their adoptive son was named the Jinyiwei Hundred Houses.

After discussing these matters, the cabinet ministers went to work on their own affairs.

Zhu Youlang was still thinking about the dispute between the Hou father and son, and asked Yang Ai: "Why did Hou Fangyu fight with his father? Is it because of Li Xiangjun?"

"Haha, Your Majesty, you really asked the right person this time, and I really know the reason." Yang Ai replied with a smile.

"Oh, if you say this, it must be related to Li Xiangjun. Let's listen." Zhu Youlang said.

"Your Majesty, do you know that Lao Hou Xun built a garden in his hometown?"

"I know, call it Nanyuan. Well, there is a poem that says, 'Where is the Nanyuan of Hou Mansion? Passers-by point to the soybean fields from afar'. It is said that Nanyuan is built outside the city, surrounded by soybeans and crops."

"Your Majesty is really knowledgeable, and it is indeed so. Nanyuan is the favorite of Lao Hou Xun. The rockery Changxi is very stylish. It is said that after Lao Hou Xun was dismissed from his post, he built Nanyuan when he returned to his hometown Guide. After that, he feasted in the garden and studied, and never entered the city again."

"You mean, Hou Xun and his son returned to Henan for the sake of Nanyuan?"

"No, it's Li Xiangjun. Isn't Li Xiangjun waiting for childbirth? She lived in Nanyuan for a while and loved the silence there. Since His Majesty took the lead, Old Hou Xun no longer dared to treat her harshly. After the liberation of Henan, she proposed to return to Nanyuan waiting for childbirth, and Old Hou Xun agreed. But Hou Fangyu was not at ease with her, so she thought about planning the position of governor, and she was just a public-private and private idea. But she didn't expect to fight with his father."

"Oh, it turns out that there is such a story. I was wondering just now, how could the father and son jointly seek a job?" Zhu Youlang suddenly realized.

"Your Majesty, this is actually all the details. The father and son are moved by the suffering of their fellow villagers. It should be true that they want to do something for their hometown." Chen Zhenhui spoke in a slang.

As a secretary, he should avoid being stingy. Chen Zhenhui naturally knows the truth and rarely speaks randomly. Basically, if the emperor doesn't ask, he will not speak actively.

But he and Hou Fangyu were good friends, and were afraid that the emperor would misunderstand his friend because of Nanyuan's incident, so he interrupted.

"Dingsheng, everyone has selfish intentions. I will not blame Hou Fangyu for this. Why are you nervous?" Zhu Youlang naturally understood Chen Zhenhui's intention, glanced at him and said.

"Yes, yes, your Majesty is responsible." Chen Zhenhui hurriedly accompanied him.

Zhu Youlang suddenly saw Pang Tianshou holding a set of casual clothes into the hall and asked Yang Ai: "What did you arrange?"

He just saw Yang Ai quietly giving Pang Tianshou a word, and Pang Tianshou turned around and left the hall, so he asked this question.

"Your Majesty, is it necessary?" Yang Ai asked with a cunning look in her eyes.

"Yeah, that's necessary." Zhu Youlang nodded and replied.
