Mingshi

Chapter 1221 Desolate
Luo Xin said firmly, and at this moment, loud cries sounded from behind them, and the expelled officials were beaten to grief. At first, only one person cried, and then the people cried more and more. More and more people came, crying more and more fiercely, and the whole palace resounded with the sound of crying all day long.

This cry made Emperor Jiajing in it go crazy. You guys started crying for me before I died?

This is to see that I am old, easy to bully, right?
"Go, tell Huang Jin, arrest them all and put them in prison."

Huang Jin was dumbfounded when he heard Emperor Jiajing's will.

Arrest all these officials?
Then the whole court is still in chaos?
Thinking of this, Huang Jin hurriedly ran towards the side hall. All the officials heard what the little eunuch said to Huang Jin just now. All the officials including Xu Jie were startled, and the shadow of great etiquette suddenly appeared. It enveloped their hearts, and none of them stopped crying, and their faces were full of panic.

Xu Jie didn't expect Emperor Jiajing's reaction to be so great, and he was a little confused for a while.

Huang Jin hurried into the hall, and as soon as he entered the hall, he heard Emperor Jiajing's furious voice:

"But captured them all?"

"Your Majesty, you can't! There are more than 200 officials outside. If they are all arrested, there will be no officials in the entire capital, and chaos will arise."

And at this time, a young eunuch came in to report: "Your Majesty, Commander of Jin Yiwei, Master Liu is asking to see you."

"Let him in!"

Liu Shouyou came in, and after paying homage to Emperor Jiajing, he said, "Your Majesty, the servant of the Ministry of Industry is dead."

Emperor Jiajing was startled: "Did you get assassinated?"

"No!" Liu Shouyou shook his head and said, "Wu Zuo said that he accidentally fell into the water and drowned when he was out for an outing, but there are doubts. And..."

"What else?"

"A gunpowder warehouse outside the city of the Ministry of Industry exploded, killing more than a dozen craftsmen."

Emperor Jiajing closed his eyes, his temples throbbing bulgingly.Liu Shouyou and Huang Jin looked at each other, their expressions were very serious, and they held their breath.

Emperor Jiajing knew that it was King Jing who did it, and erased all evidence.While being angry with King Jing in his heart, he also breathed a sigh of relief, opened his eyes and looked at Liu Shouyou and said:

"The servant of the Ministry of Industry was drowned in Taqing."

"Yes!" Liu Shouyou answered with lowered eyes.

"Huang Banban."

"exist."

"Go out and tell the officials that Luo Xin's assassination will be handed over to the third division for interrogation."

Without evidence, Emperor Jiajing dared to submit the matter to the Third Division for interrogation. If the murderer could not be caught by then, Emperor Jiajing could still punish the Third Division. However, Emperor Jiajing was still very upset.

There was silence in front of the palace gate. Emperor Jiajing sat quietly in the side hall, his face was gloomy and tired, and he said half aloud:
"Xuan Luoxin."

Luo Xin sat on a brocade stool, looking at Emperor Jiajing who was sitting behind the imperial book case.Coming to the palace today, Luo Xin felt the difference.Emperor Jiajing's attitude towards him today seemed to be surprisingly good, as soon as he entered the door, he gave him a brocade stool to sit on.At this time, Emperor Jiajing was sitting there with his eyes closed, so Luo Xin secretly looked at Emperor Jiajing.Then there was a slight sigh in my heart.

Time is really a butcher's knife!

Luo Xin had never seen Emperor Jiajing 40 years ago, but the current Emperor Jiajing gave him a feeling of old age.

He had read about the Great Etiquette Event in his previous life. At that time, Emperor Jiajing gave him the feeling that he was a precious sword drawn out of its sheath.One person dares to face all the officials in the world, that is, one person beats a group of people, and finally wins.

It is conceivable that this is 40 years ago now, if Xu Jie dared to make such a fuss, Emperor Jiajing might have assigned him a long time ago.

However, Emperor Jiajing, who had his eyes closed now, looked exhausted. Emperor Jiajing was already old, so old that he had lost his ambition, and muddled along.

"I'm old!" Emperor Jiajing slowly opened his eyes, but he didn't look at Luo Xin, his eyes were even a little dull: "They can also see that I'm old, and they don't take me seriously anymore."

Luo Xin was silent, he could say anything at this time.Could it be that you, Emperor Jiajing, are old and all the officials want to bully you?Or do you want to say that Baiguan is not bullying you, but that you really did something wrong?

Emperor Jiajing sighed leisurely, and said slowly: "Xu Jie and Gao Gong, the two chief ministers and second ministers of the cabinet, were all grown up by my own eyes, and they were all trained and promoted by me a little bit. That At that time, they were obedient to my orders, and our monarchs and ministers get each other. Why?"

Speaking of this, Emperor Jiajing's mouth was full of anger: "Why can't they start well and end well? Instead, after their wings hardened, they came to persecute me?"

Luo Xin was still silent, Emperor Jiajing finally turned his gaze to Luo Xin, and asked in a concentrated voice:
"Why don't you speak? Don't you think I'm wrong too?"

"I don't dare!" Luo Xin said softly, "It's just that I'm young and don't know the past of Lord Xu and Lord Gao, so I don't know how to answer His Majesty's words."

"Hehe..." Emperor Jiajing couldn't help laughing: "Yes, when they were officials, you didn't exist in this world."

Luo Xin couldn't help but his face darkened, and then he heard Emperor Jiajing say: "You are also grown up under my own eyes, will you be like them in the future?"

"I won't!" Luo Xin said immediately.

Emperor Jiajing narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "You are known as the military god of the Ming Dynasty, and your wisdom is not weaker than Xu Jie and Gao Gong. There is no speculation about your assassination, right?"

Luo Xin's heart trembled, but his face was still calm and he said: "Your Majesty, it's not about me and Your Majesty, no matter who is behind the scenes who wants to assassinate me, if you want to kill me by this method, it's a little boy." Look at the minister. The minister did not die in the grassland all those years ago, so how could he die under such means? Therefore, even if the minister deduces something, the minister does not mind. The worst result, in the future, will be nothing more than resignation. Xiang, this result is a very good result, and I like that kind of life. Although I am very young, my heart is tired."

Emperor Jiajing looked at Luo Xin for a long time, sighed softly for a while and said:

"Are you blaming me?"

"No!" Luo Xin said decisively: "I am only 24 years old now, but I am already a senior official of the fourth rank, second waiting. Moreover, Your Majesty should also know that my ambition is not to be a high-ranking official. If Your Majesty does not trust me, I will resign today. "

Emperor Jiajing closed his eyes again, and said softly: "I still believe in you, and I can only believe in you."

Luo Xin couldn't help being stunned, he didn't expect Emperor Jiajing to say such words, Luo Xin was not surprised to believe his own words, because even if Emperor Jiajing said these words, it may not be the sincerity of Emperor Jiajing If it is said, it is likely to be the art of the emperor.But saying that he can only trust him, Luo Xin, is a bit desolate.
