Mingshi

Chapter 1449 Rumors
The official was taken out of the prison with a complicated expression. The sun shone down. He closed his eyes and breathed in the fresh air desperately.And at this moment, a familiar voice was heard:

"Father!"

He slightly opened his eyes, adjusted to the sunlight outside, and gradually saw clearly the person standing in front of him, that was his son...

in prison.

The big eunuch smiled and said: "Master Luo, today we finally saw results. These officials thought they were strong, but it was in vain to prepare for it, but before we could use it, they softened." , hehehe...My lord, who will be interrogated next?"

"Hairui!"

Luo Xin pondered for a while and said, he didn't want to release too many people at once, otherwise it would be very difficult to delay.He knew very well in his heart that there must be someone who stands firm and unyielding, and will not admit his mistake.For example, Hai Rui, at that time, for several days in a row, Emperor Jiajing would be enraged if those tough officials refused to admit their mistakes, and might kill those officials with a single order.

Therefore, he had to delay the time and delay the speed. At the fastest, he could not have more than one confession a day. In this way, every day, or every few days, there would be one confession. In this way, Emperor Jiajing saw hope and received the effect. It slowly dragged on, maybe it could be delayed until Emperor Jiajing died before Hai Rui's die-hard elements angered Emperor Jiajing.

Therefore, after one of the officials confessed his mistake, Luo Xin decisively interrogated Hai Rui, starting with the most stubborn officials and putting the weakest officials at the end, and he would not send his family members to persuade them.It is almost impossible for officials to admit mistakes in this way.

Sure enough, from early morning to dusk, at the end of the day, except for the first official, no official admitted his mistake.Luo Xin stretched his waist and stood up, with a tired smile on his face and said:
"Although it is very tiring, it finally has an effect today!"

"Yes!" The eunuch also smiled and said, "Your Majesty will be happy."

"Yeah, I still have Mr. Lao to report to His Majesty."

"Alright!"

Of course the eunuch is willing, if he goes with Luo Xin, he will not be able to take the credit for himself.At that moment, he broke up with Luo Xin with a smile on his face, and then hurriedly ran towards the bedroom.

Luo Xin rode in the sedan chair and walked towards the mansion.But as soon as he entered the car, his brows frowned.

Royal Palace.

Emperor Jiajing lay on the bed, and after listening to the eunuch's report, a smile finally appeared on his face, and then the smile gradually faded away, revealing a thoughtful look. After a while, he said coldly:
"Xuan Luoxin."

Luofu.

Luo Xin, Zhang Xun and others were sitting around, Luo Xin was always a little distracted.He was no longer the day before yesterday, and he didn't know about the rumors in the capital. Now that Wang Cuiqiao's news had been delivered in time, he was very clear about the rumors in the capital.

The gaffe has gotten a little out of control, and now it's not just those common people who are talking about officials blocking the palace gates for their salaries, but even those students who have no official status have also started to get involved in the discussion and dissemination.

This is not a good trend!

If this continues, the reputation of Ming officials will be completely ruined!
In such an era that values ​​reputation, if Daming's official reputation is ruined, a little natural disaster occurs, and some people with ulterior motives finally take advantage of it, such as the White Lotus Sect, Daming may be overthrown.

It is not impossible for Luo Xin to ask Wang Cuiqiao to arrange for people to spread rumors, which are contrary to the rumors spread by Emperor Jiajing.In fact, this is easy, as long as the content of the official memorials attacking Emperor Jiajing and the cabinet is disseminated.

It has to be said that although these officials wanted to increase their salaries in their hearts, the content of the memorial did not make any requests in this regard at all, and they were all upright and awe-inspiring.Once the content is disseminated, it will soon crush the previous rumors.

but……

I am afraid that if this happens, Emperor Jiajing will be very angry, thinking that all the officials are isolating him, and want to support King Yu to ascend the throne and drive him out of power.Then I don't know what the enraged Emperor Jiajing will do next.

When he was having difficulty making a decision, he saw Lu Daqing come in and said, "Master, there are people coming from the palace."

"Ok!"

Luo Xin stood up, nodded to Zhang Xun and the others, and said, "It should be His Majesty who summoned me into the palace. Everyone, drink tea here first."

"Okay, let's go!" Everyone said one after another.

Royal Palace.

Luo Xin paid homage to Emperor Jiajing, stood in front of the bed, secretly glanced at Emperor Jiajing, and saw that there were many brown spots on Emperor Jiajing's body, and his whole body was weak.

"Why is there only one person who admitted his mistake today?"

Emperor Jiajing's question was simple, and Luo Xin understood it quickly.Immediately said:

"Your Majesty, if the minister's plan is followed, more officials will definitely admit their mistakes today. However, the final effect may not be good. In the minister's plan, these 53 officials are divided into three categories. The first category is easy to admit mistakes , one type is not easy to admit mistakes, and the other type is stubborn.

If all the family members who are easy to admit mistakes are allowed to persuade them today, it is likely to have extraordinary effects, and all officials of this type will admit their mistakes.It is likely to have an impact on the remaining officials, and some of those officials who are not easy to admit mistakes will also admit mistakes.But it is more likely that those officials who are less prone to admitting mistakes will become more determined and refuse to admit their mistakes.As for those stubborn and stubborn like Hai Rui, don't think about the things they admit to being wrong.At that point, it's a dead end.

Therefore, the minister did not further implement the plan, which has two advantages.On the one hand, it is exhausting those officials. After all, it is not so comfortable in the prison. For them, staying one more day is a day of suffering, which makes them a little more shaken.On the other hand, officials admitting their mistakes one after another will deepen their vacillation. This is like boiling frogs in warm water. This will not only make those officials who are not easy to admit mistakes slowly admit their mistakes, but also those officials who are stubborn and stubborn. There is also an impact.After all, every day, or every few days, an official leaves the prison. This kind of continuous shock is much more powerful than a sudden shock. "

Emperor Jiajing thought for a moment, and had to admit that Luo Xin's plan was right.It's just that when I think that I won't live for too long, a trace of irritability arises in my heart, and I wave my hands and say:

"Go back!"

"I retire!"

Luo Xin returned to the mansion, Zhang Xun and others were still waiting for him in the mansion, seeing Luo Xin came back, they all stood up and said:

"No, are you okay?"
