Mingshi

Chapter 1437
"Hehe..." Emperor Jiajing sneered and said, "In this way, your heart is bigger than mine. After reading his memorial, I was very angry, but you and him have been able to work together for a long time."

"Your Majesty, everyone has their uses. For example, a taciturn person is suitable for guarding the warehouse. A sharp-tongued person is suitable for going to Honglu Temple. An upright and stubborn person like Hai Rui is naturally the best. It is suitable for supervising imperial envoys and supervising all officials in the world.

For the sake of Daming, I naturally want to use Hai Rui.Your Majesty should have seen the effect of the anti-corruption campaign.Honestly speaking, if Hai Rui hadn't been on the front line in the anti-corruption campaign, he would never have caught so many corrupt officials, and he would not have confiscated so much money and land. It was impossible to eliminate the bandits at that time, and it was impossible to disarm smoothly later.

Hai Rui's character is of great help in this regard. "

Emperor Jiajing was silent, feeling a little pain in his heart.What Luo Xin said was a catastrophe in the world, but Xu Jie used the disaster relief funds to rebuild Yuxi Palace for himself, and it was precisely because of this time that there were bandits all over the world.

It sounds good to say they are bandits, but in fact, there are rebels everywhere, and they have formed a prairie fire, trying to overthrow Ming Dynasty.The Great Ming Kingdom was already on the verge of collapse.

Thinking about it carefully now, after Luo Xin wiped out the rogues and further disarmed the army, when asking for credit, he clearly wrote Hai Rui's credit, and now he recalled it.As Luo Xin said at this time, Hai Rui played a vital role.

However, when he thought of the memorial of Hai Rui and others, the anger in his heart boiled again.Looking at Luo Dao:
"Okay, since you said that you have no personal relationship with Hai Rui, then I will hand over this case to you for trial."

Luo Xin felt both helpless and anxious.

Unfortunately, he couldn't avoid it after all.

Anxiously, this matter is really difficult to hear.

If the trial is not good, maybe both himself and King Yu will be brought in.

However, it is not allowed for him not to agree at this time.On the one hand, Emperor Jiajing had already handed over the matter to him, and he had to accept it.On the other hand, taking the case by myself can also minimize the loss of Baiguan.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Luo Xin withdrew, and an eunuch came out with those memorials.If you want to try hundreds of officials, you must show Luo Xin these memorials.Luo Xin walked out of the hall and said:
"Prepare a room for me, I'll take a look at these memorials first."

Then a eunuch prepared a room for Luo Xin, and Luo Xin went in and sat down, closing his eyes and resting his mind.A little eunuch brought tea, Luo Xin opened his eyes and waved his hand, the little eunuch retreated and closed the door, leaving only Luo Xin in the room.

Luo Xin picked up a memorial and read it. After reading one book, he read the next one. After reading more than a dozen books in a row, he stopped reading, with a wry smile on his face.

These officials are really bold enough, or... shameless enough.

Not bad!

Luo Xin just felt that these officials were shameless!
Essentially, what do these people want?
It's just a salary increase.

However, there is not a word about salary increase in every memorial, but the entire article criticizes Emperor Jiajing and the impeachment cabinet Xu Jie and Gao Gong, as if they are all heroes of the scholarly elite, and everything is for the sake of Ming Dynasty. Fear of power.

Actually?

It's just shameless.

These officials just want both face and face.

If it is written in the memorial that the salary will be increased, I am afraid that if it is spread out, the people of Ming Dynasty will be scolded to death.Those common people don't care whether the officials of Ming Dynasty can eat or not, they just think that the officials in their hearts are all rich men who stink of wine and meat.And don't you literati never talk about money?
Is that copper stink?
Once written like this, it really gets a bad reputation.

And at this moment, Hai Rui instigated such a memorial. Everyone, look at it, it's wonderful!
We play not for salary increase, but for Daming.

Of course, everyone knows the truth of the matter, and it depends on how your majesty and the cabinet handle it.Give us a salary increase, and everything will be calm immediately.If we don't give us a salary increase, we will have endless impeachments.

Of course, after their salaries were increased, if Hai Rui continued to attack the Holy Majesty, they would not follow, and they might attack Hai Rui in turn.

Perhaps Hai Rui was proud of himself, he took advantage of the power of all the officials to impeach the emperor and the cabinet this time, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.As for his own life, he didn't care.

However, Luo Xin knew that Hai Rui was still too naive.I'm afraid that in the minds of all the officials, he has already been positioned as the one who is responsible for the scapegoat.

Similarly, Luo Xin also thought Baiguan was too naive.

Things have come to this point, do you still want to raise your salary?
Save your life first!

Those who can save their lives must also consider keeping their official status.If you can't even keep your official status, even if you get a salary increase, does it have anything to do with you?

I'm afraid at this time, Baiguan has already regretted it.

I regret making this matter a big deal. Who would dare to raise the matter of salary increase when the matter has become so troublesome?

"I already knew that His Majesty would not increase your salary, so it's useless for you to make trouble."

Luo Xin murmured in a low voice, then closed his eyes again with a tired look on his face.

Prince Yu's Mansion.

Zhang Juzheng and Wang Xijue looked at the memorial, Wang Xijue showed shock on his face, but Zhang Juzheng was expressionless.Wang Xijue couldn't help looking at Zhang Juzheng, seeing Zhang Juzheng's calm expression, couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and sighed secretly:

"I'm still not ready!"

Although Zhang Juzheng's face didn't change at this time, his heart was beating violently, and the underwear inside was soaked.

Huang Jin was sitting opposite Zhang Juzheng, with no expression on his face.He is a member of King Yu, but only King Yu and Luo Xin know about it, no one else knows, Zhang Juzheng and Wang Xijue who are opposite him don't know, and Huang Jin can't reveal his identity to them.He was anxious in his heart, hoping that Zhang Juzheng could remove the suspicion for King Yu, but he couldn't remind him of his identity, otherwise Zhang Juzheng would suspect him.

Did Zhang Juzheng know the content of this memorial before?
Of course he knows!
Moreover, Xu Jie and Gao Gong also knew and expected that the emperor would anger King Yu and doubt King Yu, so Xu Jie and Gao Gong sent Zhang Juzheng and Wang Xijue to Prince Yu's mansion.

However, when things were really imminent at this time, Zhang Juzheng and Wang Xijue were still thundering in their hearts.If this matter is not handled well, the country is really in turmoil, and Daming will fall into a catastrophe.

He already knew the content of the memorial in his heart, but he still read it very slowly. He was taking this time to think about the countermeasures.But no matter how slow you watch it, there is a time to finish it.

At this moment Wang Xijue could only look at Zhang Juzheng, he had no idea in his mind.Seeing Zhang Juzheng put down the memorial and raised his head, he couldn't help feeling tense.
