Mingshi

Chapter 1408 are waiting

Soon, Xu Jie and Gao Gong appeared in the imperial study.

Emperor Jiajing waved his hand, and Huang Jin picked up the paper from the imperial book table and handed it to Xu Jie and Gao Gong.Xu Jie took it and watched it with Gao Gong.After that, the faces of the two people changed drastically, but they changed again, and finally they remained silent.

"Tell me, what do you think?" Emperor Jiajing said softly.

"This news..." Xu Jie thought about it and said, "It seems that Luo Xin is deceiving Wang Xijue. In three days, what can be handed over? The old minister can't help thinking that he is delaying the attack."

"You also think that Luo Xin will rebel?" Emperor Jiajing's expression became serious.

"The old minister dare not!" Xu Jie said, "It's just that I have doubts."

"What about you?" Emperor Jiajing looked at Gao Gong.

"From the first glance, this news is what Mr. Xu said." Gao Gong said thoughtfully.

"Where there is a first sight, there is a second sight." Emperor Jiajing said flatly, "Tell me about your second sight."

"Your Majesty, Luo Xin is not a fool. On the contrary, he is extremely intelligent. I think both His Majesty and Lord Xu will agree with this."

"That's right!" Emperor Jiajing and Xu Jie nodded at the same time, which cannot be refuted.

"It's so strange. What we can all think of, Luo Xin can't think of? Will you leave such a big hole for us to see?"

"That means he won't rebel?"

"The old minister is not sure." Gao Gong said in a low voice.

"Both of you are not sure, so why do I need you?" Emperor Jiajing was furious.

Xu Jie and Gao Gong lowered their heads and said nothing.

After a while, Emperor Jiajing rubbed his eyebrows with a headache and said, "Tell me how to deal with it."

"We have to take some precautions." Gao Gong said: "Let the northern army on the Yangtze River take some precautions. Once Luo Xin raises troops, he can always stop them for a while and give us time to deploy troops. However, all this must be done in secret, and don't let us Roshin knows."

"Survey Luo Xin's family members." Xu Jie also said: "Of course it's just surveillance, and Luo Xin's family members cannot know."

"Any more?"

"Let General Yang take over Ma Fang's official position and transfer Ma Fang back to Beijing. Arrange Qi Jiguang on the front line of the Yalu River and send someone to monitor him," Xu Jie said.

"Send someone to contact Yu Dayou." Gao Gong said.

"Is there any more?" Emperor Jiajing slightly loosened his frown.

"Nothing."

"Then let's do it."

The next day.

Emperor Jiajing sat in the imperial study, feeling uneasy in his heart.He was waiting for news from Jin Yiwei to judge Luo Xin's direction.Although there was an arrangement yesterday, if Luo Xin really rebelled, Emperor Jiajing really didn't have any confidence that his own arrangement would be able to stop Luo Xin.

"Ta Tata..."

The sound of footsteps came, and Liu Shouyou strode in.

"My lord, I greet Your Majesty..."

At this time, there were not only Emperor Jiajing in the imperial study room, but also Xu Jie and Gao Gong. They estimated that the time was about the same, so they came here to wait for news from Jin Yiwei.

Luo Xin's news is very important to Gao Gong and Xu Jie.If Luo Xin rebels, in Gao Gong's view, Luo Xin is not orthodox and will eventually lose, but the people of the world will definitely suffer, this is not the result Gao Gong wants to see.But for Xu Jie, this was not the case.

The person who knows you best in the world is not your friend, but your enemy.

From Xu Jie's point of view, if Luo Xin rebels, whether he can overthrow Daming is a matter of five or five.Once Luo Xin was defeated, it would be fine, but if Luo Xin won, it would not be Xu Jie who died, but the entire Xu family.

And the Xu family is in Songjiang in the south.I am afraid that the moment Luo Xin raised his troops, the Xu family would be wiped out first.

Emperor Jiajing was more worried about his country, and Huang Jin was even more worried about where he would go.

So, when Liu Shouyou came in, all four of them looked at Liu Shouyou nervously.Liu Shouyou could feel the tension of the four people, and when he bowed down, he couldn't help feeling Luo Xin's prestige.

Just one piece of news made His Majesty and the cabinet flustered.

"Exemption!" Emperor Jiajing's voice sounded: "Present."

Liu Shouyou immediately took out a piece of paper, Huang Jin stepped forward to take it, and then came to the imperial book case, and placed it in front of Emperor Jiajing.

Emperor Jiajing read the news with a slightly relaxed expression on his face, and then said to Xu Jie and Gao Gong:

"Not moving!"

Xu Jie and Gao Gong immediately understood that it was Luo Xin's business as usual in the south.Xu Jie said softly:

"It depends on whether he really returns to Beijing."

"En!" Emperor Jiajing nodded slightly, and then said with a tired look on his face, "You guys go down."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Xu Jie and Gao Gong looked at each other, then backed out.The two walked side by side in the palace, with no one left or right, Xu Jie lowered his voice and said:
"Su Qing, do you think Luo Xin will return to Beijing?"

"I think so." Gao Gong said lightly.

"hope so."

Day three.

Gao Gong and Xu Jie estimated the time again, and came to Yuxi Palace, waiting for Liu Shouyou.The timing of the two was very precise, and within a quarter of an hour of the two of them arriving, they saw Liu Shouyou walking in. After presenting the news, Emperor Jiajing read it with a relaxed and nervous expression.Xu Jie and Gao Gong were startled, and asked almost at the same time:

"Your Majesty, how is it?"

"It's business as usual!"

Emperor Jiajing said calmly, but Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Liu Shouyou and Huang Jin could all hear a trace of tension in Emperor Jiajing's voice.At this time, Xu Jie and Gao Gong also lost interest in talking, and there was a trace of tension in their hearts.

because……

Everything depends on tomorrow, whether Luo Xin leaves for Beijing tomorrow.

Emperor Jiajing glanced at Xu Jie and Gao Gong, and his heart was suddenly filled with disappointment.

He suddenly felt that the cabinet composed of Xu Jie and Gao Gong was not as good as when Yan Song was there.When Yan Song was around, at least people like Ma Fang and Hu Zongxian were under his control, and he didn't have to worry about everything.

But what about now?
I am seriously ill, and I have more than enough energy for political affairs.Originally, this was an opportunity for Xu Jie, the chief assistant of the cabinet, but what happened?

Xu Jie and Gao Gong were too busy to go to the party to fight, and made a mess of political affairs. When it came time to employ people, they found that there was no one available.

Doesn't Ming have any famous generals?
Have!
Ma Fang, Hu Zongxian, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou are all.

However, they dare not use it now, not only dare not use it, but also have to be on guard.

Is this what the cabinet did?
What have you been doing all day?

Xu Jie and Gao Gong were also nervous at this time and lost the interest to speak, as did Liu Shouyou and Huang Jin. A strange atmosphere was floating in the imperial study.

"Go!" Emperor Jiajing said weakly.

Xu Jie, Gao Gong and Liu Shouyou all retreated.Everyone is waiting for tomorrow. Tomorrow is the day that will determine the fate of Luo Xin, the day that will determine the fate of Daming, the day that will determine the fate of Xu Jie and Gao Gong, and the day that will determine the fate of Liu Shouyou and Huang Jin.
