Chapter 1440 The Tiger Is Old

Luo Xin walked into the door calmly, and saw Xu Jie sitting on a chair with two dark circles under his eyes. When Luo Xin came in, his gaze changed slightly, and a trace of anxiety flashed across his face. The mood at that time was the same as that of those eunuchs, they all felt that Luo Xin would dig a hole for him.Taking a deep breath, he raised his alertness and stood up slowly.

Anyway, Xu Jie is still the chief assistant of the cabinet at this time, so Luo Xin bowed his hands to Xu Jie and said:
"My lord Xu, I have been ordered to try the case of blocking the palace gate."

Xu Jie nodded and said, "Please take a seat."

Luo Xin was ordered by the emperor, so he was naturally sent by the emperor, and he was a senior official.Luo Xin and Xu Jie were not polite, so they sat on the upper seat, the eunuch sat on Luo Xin's lower head, prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and Xu Jie sat opposite Luo Xin.

Luo Xin looked at Xu Jie calmly and said, "Your Majesty is starting to ask questions for His Majesty, Lord Xu please answer truthfully."

"Definitely!" Xu Jie nodded, his eyes became deep.

"Last night, hundreds of officials blocked the gate of the palace. May I ask Mr. Xu, did you know beforehand?"

Xu Jie's heart moved, and he thought quickly, if Luo Xin wanted to dig a hole for him to jump into.At this time, you should not ask him whether he is in love, but whether he is guiding the matter behind the scenes.

Could it be... Luo Xin wanted to clear himself of the suspicion?
However, at this time, he couldn't help hesitating, so he immediately said: "All the officials are joining forces in private, and I want to play. I know it. But this is the right of the officials, and I have no right to interfere, so I didn't pay attention. And I didn't I thought they would block the gate of the palace on New Year's Eve."

"So, you don't know the content of the memorial of Baiguan?"

"I don't know!"

"I don't know that officials will block the gate of the palace on New Year's Eve?"

"I don't know!" Xu Jie said with anger on his face: "If I had known that they would disturb His Majesty on New Year's Eve, the old minister would never have allowed them to be so rebellious."

Luo Xin's questioning has reached this point, and Xu Jie already firmly believes that Luo Xin is clearing the suspicion for him.There are mixed feelings in my heart.

Luo Xin asked some serious questions again, and finally asked the big eunuch:
"Elder-in-law, do you have anything else to ask?"

The eunuch's eyes flickered for a moment, then he looked at Xu Jie and said, "Master Xu, do you want to read the memorial?"

"It's a crime for a courtier to read crazy and rebellious words, so I won't read them."

"He's a very cautious man."

Luo secretly thought in confidence.But he didn't say anything, just looked at the big eunuch.The big eunuch shook his head at Luo Xin.Luo Xin stood up and walked outside.Xu Jie hurriedly got up to see them off, and the eunuch was packing up the pens, ink, papers and inkstones behind, Xu Jie took the opportunity to lower his voice and said:

"Thank you."

Luo Xin said softly: "Public is public, private is private."

Xu Jie paused, then quickly lowered his voice and said, "I remember it."

Luo Xin went out, and Xu Jie stopped at the door.The big eunuch came from behind and said, "Lord Luo, what shall we do next?"

"Go to Master Gao."

Looking at Luo Xin's disappearing back, Xu Jie sighed with emotion.At this moment, he had a better understanding of Luo Xin, with admiration and relief in his eyes.

From this moment, he knew that even if he lost the battle with Luo Xin in the future, he didn't have to worry about Luo Xin's retaliation against his family, Luo Xin would not do such a thing.At the same time, he also remembered what he did to Yan Song, with a look of shame on his face, and whispered in a low voice:
"No, don't worry. In the court battle, my Xu family will not hold back. If I have a chance to defeat you, I will never be soft. However, I will never target your family. If one day , I defeated you, and I will take care of your family."

Luo Xin went to Gao Gong's place again, and asked as usual, the eunuch finally asked Gao Gong if he wanted to read the memorial, but Gao Gong flatly refused.This can't help but make Luo Xin sigh, there is no one who can take this position in the cabinet.

Luo Xin looked at Emperor Jiajing's bedroom from a distance, and his thoughts were spinning rapidly.

It seems that this matter can only be dragged on until Emperor Jiajing's anger disappears, or... until Emperor Jiajing dies.

midnight.

Emperor Jiajing was lying on the bed in the palace, tired all over, but he didn't feel sleepy at all, as if his soul was becoming lighter and floating.Emperor Jiajing fell into a strange state.

He seems to have entered the long river of time, returning to his 15-year-old age. In that year, he entered the palace and became the emperor. From that day on, bit by bit, he seemed to live again.

His eyes were straight, staring straight at the ceiling.

Huang Jin stood in the corner, leaning against the wall, closing his eyes and taking a nap for a while. This is a skill he has practiced for many years, and he can fall asleep even standing up.Occasionally, he opened his eyes and glanced at Emperor Jiajing who was lying on the bed.

His heart was full of sadness and fear. Emperor Jiajing lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with wide-eyed eyes. He had maintained this position for more than an hour.

Those eyes had no body at all, if it wasn't for the sound of Emperor Jiajing's heavy breathing, he would have died.

Huang Jin had a feeling that Emperor Jiajing didn't seem to live long.

"Oh……"

Emperor Jiajing suddenly rolled his eyes, and then passed out.Huang Jin hurried forward and called softly:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Jiajing didn't respond at all, Huang Jin stretched out his hand to push Emperor Jiajing again.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Jiajing still didn't respond. Huang Jin moved his hands tremblingly to test Emperor Jiajing's breathing. Feeling that he was still breathing, his expression relaxed slightly, and he stretched his neck and shouted:

"Emperor physician, pass on the imperial physician."

The imperial physician arrived soon, knelt down in front of the window, and began to diagnose Emperor Jiajing's pulse.

Huang Jin stood aside quietly, looking anxiously at the imperial physician.After a while, the imperial physician took out the silver needles and gave Jiajing Emperor acupuncture and moxibustion. After acupuncture and moxibustion for about a quarter of an hour, Jiajing Emperor slowly opened his eyes, and then let out a long breath. His confused eyes gradually recovered. There was a hint of brightness.

Huang Jin looked at Emperor Jiajing, and suddenly felt a great fear in his heart. He felt that Emperor Jiajing was too peaceful, calm like never before.Emperor Jiajing glanced at the people in the bedroom, and then said to Huang Jin:
"Huang Banban."

"The servant is here."

"Except for the imperial physician, everyone should go out, and you should go out too."

"According to the order!"

Everyone retreated quietly, Huang Jin closed the door and stood guard outside.

inside the door.

Emperor Jiajing looked at the imperial physician and said softly: "I seem to have lived again just now, I don't know what enlightenment this is from the Taoist ancestor."

The imperial physician kept his mouth tightly shut and lowered his head slightly, not daring to respond.

Emperor Jiajing was silent for a moment, then asked calmly, "Prince doctor, is it the end of my life?"
