Mingshi

Chapter 1442 kill them all

This is a person of faith, just like seeking the Tao himself.Hai Rui is a fanatic, a fanatic of his own ideas.He will be angry at anything that does not conform to his ideals.Even if the person he was angry with was the emperor.

It is impossible for such a person to be a pioneer for others and be bought by others.

but……

A trace of disdain flashed in Emperor Jiajing's eyes, it was disdain for Hai Rui.As the person who sits on the highest chair in Ming Dynasty, after many years of political struggles, he naturally knows that no one can buy people like Hai Rui, but they are extremely easy to be used by others.

Thinking of Hai Rui being used by someone with a heart, anger rose in his heart.shouted:

"Since Luo Xin has already tried the six ministers of the cabinet, let them come to see me. Let Luo Xin come together."

Soon, the officials from the Six Departments of the Cabinet and Luo Xin appeared in Emperor Jiajing's bedroom.

After everyone paid their respects, Emperor Jiajing glanced across the crowd indifferently, and asked Luo Xin coldly:

"What's in your hand?"

"It's a transcript!"

Emperor Jiajing turned his gaze to Xu Jie, Gao Gong and the others and said, "What are you holding?"

As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Xu Jie had no choice but to say, "It's the minister's statement of defense."

Emperor Jiajing fell silent, and Huang Jin came up, collected the self-defense and transcripts, and placed them in front of Emperor Jiajing.Emperor Jiajing closed his eyes, and everyone knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.

Emperor Jiajing didn't look at Luo Xin's transcript, but opened his eyes and looked at Luo Dao:
"How did you check the Six Departments of the Cabinet?"

Luo Xin immediately said: "The cabinet and the six ministers, my lords, don't know about the blocking incident."

After a while, Emperor Jiajing said: "Go back, so that you can take care of state affairs."

Xu Jie, Gao Gong and the others who were bowing their heads were stunned for a moment, and they were still thinking that maybe this was another reenactment of great etiquette.But he didn't expect Emperor Jiajing to let go so lightly.

but……

Immediately, both Xu Jie and Gao Gong were stunned.

Your Majesty is getting old!

No matter whether it was physical strength or energy, he was not allowed to do that kind of physical and energy-consuming things. Emperor Jiajing already had more than enough energy.

Do not!
I'm afraid I don't even have any heart left!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I'm willing to do my best for His Majesty until I die!" Xu Jie, Gao Gong and others hurriedly bowed down. Anyway, they escaped a catastrophe.

"Go down!" Emperor Jiajing said in a cold tone: "The big Chinese New Year will imprison you for two days, go back and have a good rest. But those who should be on duty will still be on duty."

Xu Jie and Gao Gong led the officials to salute again, and then exited the hall, Luo Xin followed suit, and heard Emperor Jiajing's voice.

"Luo Xin, you stay."

Luo Xin had no choice but to stay, and all the officials secretly looked at Luo Xin with complicated expressions.

After Xu Jie and others all retreated, Emperor Jiajing leaned softly on the bed, sweating profusely in an instant.Huang Jin hurried forward and wiped Emperor Jiajing with a towel. Luo Xin stood there respectfully, with his head slightly lowered. After Huang Jin finished wiping Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing still closed his eyes and remained silent for a while.Luo Xin quietly raised his eyelids to peek at Emperor Jiajing, and he saw that Emperor Jiajing was pale and exuded an air of decay.

Luo Xin turned his eyes to Huang Jin. Seeing Luo Xin looking over, Huang Jin carefully glanced at Emperor Jiajing again. Seeing that Emperor Jiajing had his eyes closed, he said to Luo Xin silently, mouthing:
"Li Shizhen has been here."

Luo's heart skipped a beat. He had been in the palace for the past two days and didn't go home.Therefore, I didn't know that Emperor Jiajing sent someone to invite Li Shizhen from his mansion.Blinking at Huang Jin, Huang Jin immediately understood Luo Xin's meaning, asking him what Li Shizhen said when he came.So, Huang Jin shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.

Luo Xin's expression was frozen, Huang Jin didn't know, he could only explain that Emperor Jiajing drove everyone out at that time, leaving only Li Shizhen.

What did the two of them say?
Luo Xin now had an urgent desire to go home and ask Li Shizhen, but at this moment, Emperor Jiajing opened his eyes and said in a cold tone:
"Luo Xin, how are the officials in the prison going?"

"Under trial."

"What else is there to judge?" Emperor Jiajing said angrily: "They are a group of shameless villains who read sage books in vain. Their essence is to increase their salaries. A group of people with copper stink are also worthy of being officials. ?They deserve to criticize me too?

A bunch of villains with filthy hearts just want to put on a dignified appearance to attack me.

What are they going to do?
He made me useless, and compared me to a foolish king comparable to Jie and Zhou.

Such a treason, even Ling Chi couldn't vent the anger in my heart. "

"Cough cough..."

Emperor Jiajing coughed violently, Huang Jin hurried forward and patted Emperor Jiajing's vest lightly.Luo Xin still stood there with his head bowed, not speaking.

Emperor Jiajing coughed so much that his nose and tears came out, and after the coughing was over, he was still panting heavily.Huang Jin took a towel and wiped it for Emperor Jiajing again. Emperor Jiajing rested for more than a quarter of an hour before he recovered a bit, and said in a murderous tone:

"Since they are all despicable and nasty villains, and these villains cover up their filthiness with awe-inspiring righteousness and abuse me with rebellious words, then I will fulfill them and kill them all."

Luo Xin's heart beat violently, and Emperor Jiajing on the bed continued:

"I don't blame you for clearing the suspicion of Xu Jie and Gao Gong's six cabinet officials. I know that you are for Daming, and Daming cannot do without them. I also forgive those officials who are willing to retreat at the palace gate. , no longer pursue them, and you don't have to try them anymore.

but……"

Emperor Jiajing gritted his teeth and said: "Those officials who refused to retreat and were finally caught in prison will die. Your task is to try their crimes clearly, and then kill them all."

Luo Xin's face changed. He originally thought that Emperor Jiajing wanted to kill Hai Rui at most, and the other officials might be dismissed at most, but he never thought that Emperor Jiajing was so crazy that he wanted to kill all of them.

That's 53 officials, 53 lives, and 53 families.

Once these 53 officials are killed, it will be a serious crime, and their family members will also become official slaves. How many people are involved?

"Your Majesty, you can't kill him!"

"What did you say?" Emperor Jiajing looked at Luo Xin with killing intent.

Luo Xin was very calm at this time, his mind was spinning rapidly, and in just a moment, he opened his mouth and said:

"Your Majesty, if those officials are killed, it will be confirmed..."
