Mingshi

Chapter 1443 Drag

"What are you sitting on?"

"It is confirmed that His Majesty has a reputation comparable to that of Jie and Zhou. Instead, the reputation of those officials has been fulfilled."

Emperor Jiajing's chest heaved violently. Seeing that Emperor Jiajing didn't refute him immediately, Luo Xin felt relieved, and immediately continued:
"I think there is a better way."

"any solution?"

Emperor Jiajing blurted out, no emperor would like to become a faint emperor and be reprimanded through the ages.Emperor Jiajing was also unwilling. He killed more than a dozen officials at the beginning of the ceremony, at least in the name of filial piety.Therefore, although Shihlin had a lot of criticisms, it did not leave the infamy of the faint king.

However, this time is different.

This time, the officials headed by Hai Rui were all criticizing Emperor Jiajing. If Emperor Jiajing really killed those 53 officials like this, he would really be infamous for thousands of years.Therefore, although Emperor Jiajing was angry at Luo Xin's suggestion, he couldn't help asking when he heard that Luo Xin had a solution.

"Let them admit their mistakes!" Luo Xin said in a concentrated voice: "As long as they confess their mistakes on the form, it will be their mistakes, not Your Majesty's."

Emperor Jiajing fell silent, the murderous intent in his eyes gradually subsided, and his violently heaving chest gradually eased.After a while, he said weakly:
"Okay! I'll leave this matter to you. Let them admit their mistakes. If they admit their mistakes, they will release one. If they don't admit their mistakes, they will be rewarded with a hundred battles. It's their luck to survive, and it's their fault if they don't survive." Life.

And you, don't let me punish you. "

"The minister obeys the order."

"Go."

"My minister retire."

Luo Xin left Emperor Jiajing's palace, and the cold wind howled, making Luo Xin feel cold in his heart.Thinking carefully about the response just now, he breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he still has the pulse of Emperor Jiajing.

Emperor Jiajing himself knew very well that in the past few decades since he ascended the throne, he spent [-]% of his time cultivating Taoism, and he has almost never done anything that is beneficial to the country and the people. , It's like stripping off the layers of clothes of Emperor Jiajing, so that Emperor Jiajing's ugliness is completely exposed to the eyes and ears of the world, and it will become eternal infamy.

This was not a result that Emperor Jiajing could bear. He even invited Li Shizhen over, probably already realized that he could not become a fairy.With eternal infamy, how to meet the ancestors after death?
Therefore, when Luo Xin asked those 53 people to confess their mistakes, Emperor Jiajing held back his murderous intentions, and he also wanted to restore his reputation.

but……

Luo Xin sighed in the cold wind, and the other officials were lucky to say that they might not be able to admit their mistakes under coercion and temptation.But that Hai Rui...

Luo Xin smiled wryly and shook his head. Although he saved the lives and families of those officials, he got himself trapped.

"How to do?"

Luo Xin frowned deeply, sighed again for a while, and only thought of one way helplessly in his heart, which was procrastination.

It would be great if it could be delayed until Emperor Jiajing died...

Li Shizhen!
Luo Xin suddenly thought of Li Shizhen, and thought of Emperor Jiajing summoning Li Shizhen.

"Li Shizhen should be able to guess the lifespan of Emperor Jiajing, right?"

Luo Xin regained his energy and hurriedly walked outside the palace gate.When they came outside the palace gate, Lu Daqing and Wan Daquan had been waiting outside the palace gate, and when they saw Luo Xin coming out, they rushed to meet him.

"master!"

At this time, Luo Xin's carriage also rushed over.Luo Xin boarded the carriage, Lu Daqing rode the horse, leaned close to the window, and said in a low voice:
"My lord, His Royal Highness King Yu has already submitted a petition to ask for forgiveness, and then the door was closed. Also, His Majesty has sent imperial envoys to the northern border to urgently summon Ma Fang back to Beijing."

Luo's confidence sank. King Yu should not have much to do with him. King Yu just made a gesture. Now Emperor Jiajing only has this son left, so there won't be any major problems.

but……

What does it mean that Emperor Jiajing transferred Ma Fang back?
Luo Xin and Ma Fang are friends, there is nothing wrong with that.But they are not close friends, and Ma Fang is not like Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, who can become a follower of Luo Xin.Ma Fang and Luo Xin appreciate each other even more, which makes the future capital city full of variables.

"Go home!"

Prince Yu's Mansion.

The gate was closed tightly, and there were no guards at the gate, but there were guards with tight handles inside the gate.All the maids and eunuchs in the entire Prince Yu's mansion did not dare to speak loudly, and even walked cautiously, with light steps, and there was a tense atmosphere in the mansion.

The bedroom of Prince Yu's Mansion was also closed.King Yu paced back and forth on the ground.Concubine Li coaxed the child to sleep and handed it over to the nanny. At this time, she was also in the bedroom, standing aside, looking at King Yu with an uneasy expression on her face.

In just two days, King Yu lost a lot of weight, and his face was also abnormally white. He walked back and forth on the ground, but his eyes were out of focus, and he looked absent-minded.Concubine Li couldn't help sighing in her heart, she had been married to King Yu for a long time, and she knew King Yu very well, but the more she got to know, the more she felt insecure.

King Yu suddenly stopped in his tracks, and sat on the chair a little weakly. His eyes were finally in focus, but in the focused eyes, there was endless anxiety and fear, and he murmured in a low voice:
"I don't know if Master Gao has come out? Master Luo was passed into the palace, did he come out? Master Zhang's idea to keep the gate of Gu closed, isn't this breaking the connection with the outside? It makes Gu look like a deaf man now. Usually, not knowing anything is really frustrating."

Concubine Li sighed in her heart, and said softly: "Father is moody now, and he is getting angry. Master Zhang told us not to do anything or say anything, and to close the door. Although we are passive, we will not give people an excuse to attack."

King Yu closed his eyes, with a look of sadness on his face, and said in a low voice: "Even if you are the son of the common people, I am afraid that it is not so difficult to be a son to your father alone. It has been nearly 30 years, and every day is lonely It's like walking on thin ice, trembling with fear. This palace is basically a prison in the sky, and I will be imprisoned here."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help crying in his eyes and said: "Even so, it can't reduce Father's suspicion of Gu. If this matter can't be passed, Gu may be abolished by Father."

Concubine Li couldn't help feeling sad when she saw King Yu's miserable speech, she shed tears, stepped forward to hold King Yu's hand, choked up and said:
"Your Highness, don't make random guesses. Now that the father has only one son, and you have given birth to the grandson for the father, it is impossible for the father not to let his own son inherit the throne, and let other people's sons take the throne. Isn't that cutting off one's own roots? My father is wise and mighty, and it is absolutely impossible for me to do such a thing that shames my ancestors."
