Mingshi

Chapter 1224
Xu Jie carefully examined King Jing's expression, but he really didn't see any flaws.In fact, this is King Jing's true performance. Originally, he was a violent person, but now he is very familiar with performing violent scenes, but this confuses Xu Jie.

"Your Highness, let alone the first and third assassinations that Luo Xin suffered, it was the second assassination. How could it be so easy to obtain such a large amount of gunpowder in Daming? It's no wonder that the officials doubt Your Highness."

"You suspect Gu too?" King Jing glared at Xu Jie angrily.

"It's not something I doubt or not, but that no one else can get that much gunpowder, Your Highness."

Xu Jie stood up, lowered his voice and said: "Now the rumors are all pointing at His Highness, all the officials are also staring at His Highness, and the Sanfa Division is also pointing the direction of investigation to His Highness, Your Highness will give the old minister an accurate statement today. Because, if His Highness really did it, the old man must cover it up for His Highness, so as not to leave a trace of clues to others."

"It's here, it's here! Mr. He knows things like a god." King Jing secretly said in his heart. At this time, he admired He Xinyin, but he also hated Xu Jie in his heart:
"Sure enough, old man, I want to find evidence from this king. If it wasn't for Mr. He, this king would have really been fooled by you."

At this time, King Jing was also possessed by the actor, with an expression of anger and grief on his face, he looked at Xu Jie and said:
"Master Xu, you also suspect Gu?"

"It's not that the old minister suspects His Highness, it's that the old minister is afraid that His Highness is really responsible for this matter, so that the old minister can cover it up."

"It's not what I did. I just want Luo Xin to die, but I don't even bother to do it. Since they said it was done by I, Master Xu can ask them for evidence. Without evidence, I can't allow them to frame Gu."

Xu Jie finally left King Jing's Mansion in a state of anxiety.His back was bent, and he felt like he was stuck in a quagmire.

Luofu.

Xiao Luo Yu and Luo Xin were tired from playing, and they were already coaxed to sleep by Dai'er.Luo Xin looked at the pepper in front of him, and a thought suddenly popped up in his heart.

"We should build a greenhouse! But the greenhouse needs glass! How did the glass come out?"

As Luo Xin walked towards the study, he recalled that his memory of firing glass was a little vague, and he didn't know the specific procedure, but he probably knew it.With nothing else to do, Luo Xin took a carriage and took Lu Daqing and Wan Quanquan to his own Zhuangzi outside the city.

In Zhuangzi outside the city, there is a kiln for firing some porcelain.Luo Xin called a few craftsmen, told the program in his memory, and let those craftsmen try it.Looking at the backs of those craftsmen leaving, Luo Xin suddenly slapped his forehead.

"How could I forget the sirloin. Daqing!"

"Master Hou!" Lu Daqing trotted over.

"Go home and invite Sharon."

"Yes, Lord Hou!"

After about half an hour, Lu Daqing and Sha Lang arrived at Zhuangzi.Before Luo Xin could speak, Lu Daqing stepped forward and said:
"Master Hou, the emperor sent someone to look for you."

"Oh?"

At this time, Luo Xin saw that there was another eunuch behind Lu Daqing. When the eunuch saw Luo Xin looking over, he stepped forward and saluted with a smile:

"I've seen Mr. Luo."

"It turned out to be Eunuch Zhang, please come inside."

"Lord Luo, we won't go in. His Majesty is waiting to see you."

"What does the father-in-law know?"

Eunuch Zhang shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"How does His Majesty feel?"

"Fortunately!"

Luo Xin nodded and said: "Daqing, take Eunuch Zhang to rest first, Eunuch Zhang, I will prepare after I prepare, then we will leave."

"Hey, hurry up then."

"Eunuch Zhang, this way please."

Lu Daqing stuffed a piece of silver into the hands of Eunuch Zhang without any trace, and Eunuch Zhang put it into his sleeve skillfully, but he still looked at Luo Dao with a somewhat embarrassed expression:
"Lord Luo, please hurry up."

"Well, I know, I'll come as I go."

Then he turned to Sharon and said, "Talk while walking."

"it is good!"

Sha Lang said excitedly that he lived in Luofu these days, and he knew that if he wanted to get a start in missionary work in Daming, the key was with Luo Xin.As long as you get the support of Luo Xin, you can get a start.

However, these days, Luo Xin left him in Luo Mansion and never went to find him.He knew in his heart that without giving, there would be no gain.Therefore, Luo Xin asked him for help this time, and he was really very happy in his heart.

"Mr. Sharon, can you make glass?"

"Although I haven't made it myself, I know all the processes of making glass."

"Then you help teach my craftsmen how to make glass, can you?"

"absolutely okay."

"Hmm!" Luo Xin thought for a while and said, "I don't know how transparent the glass you make is? Can it be completely transparent?"

"Totally transparent? Can't do it."

"Then do more research, I need completely transparent glass."

Sharon frowned, but finally nodded and said, "Okay."

Luo Xin brought Sha Lang to the kiln and called out a dozen craftsmen.After introducing Sharon to the craftsmen, he left the kiln and followed the eunuch towards the palace again.

Entering the palace, he saw Emperor Jiajing eating.Emperor Jiajing said to Luo:
"have you eaten?"

"No! I went to Zhuangzi outside the city, and hurried back when I heard His Majesty summoned me."

"Then sit down and eat with me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Luo Xin was not polite, and he was indeed hungry.Luo Xin ate very quickly, but it didn't make people feel like he was devouring it, but he was very elegant.During the banquet, Emperor Jiajing and Luo Xin didn't speak any more. After eating, Emperor Jiajing and Luo Xin held a cup of tea each. Emperor Jiajing looked at Luo Dao:
"Do you know why I called you here?"

"I don't know." Luo Xin shook his head honestly.

Emperor Jiajing was silent, and said for a while: "I really know that you don't like heavy work, so you can become the Minister of Rites."

Luo Xin couldn't help being stunned. He didn't expect that Emperor Jiajing summoned him this time, but he wanted to promote him. You must know that he wiped out [-] Goryeo, and Emperor Jiajing didn't give him a promotion, but a title. Raised his third-class status to second-class status.

But why was he suddenly promoted now?
And also took care that he didn't like heavy work and liked the noble life, and gave him the official position of Minister of Rites?

The Ministry of Rites is a very important yamen in Ming Dynasty, and most of the first and second assistants of the cabinet came from the Ministry of Rites. Therefore, the Ministry of Rites is the cradle of the cabinet.

What is the official position of the Minister of Rites?
That's the deputy chief of the Ministry of Rites!

What is the grade of the Minister of Rites?
That is the third grade.

That is to say, Luo Xin jumped from the fourth rank to the third rank.Zheng Sanpin has already entered the sequence of senior executives, and is no longer a mid-level official who can be manipulated by others.

But why?
Why did Emperor Jiajing suddenly promote him?
