Mingshi

Chapter 1467 The Will
Huang Jin gave Xu Jie a "you say" look, Xu Jie lowered his voice and said:
"Eunuch Huang, are you really not worried about your future?"

Huang Jin's expression changed, but then there was a look of sarcasm in his eyes and he said: "Mr. Ge should be worried about your own future."

What surprised Huang Jin was that Xu Jie was not angry because of his words, but instead smiled wryly:

"You're right, the two of us are suffering from the same disease. After His Majesty passed away, both of you and I have a lost future. However, at most, this old man will retire and return to his hometown, but father-in-law, I'm afraid you will die a very miserable death."

Huang Jin's heart skipped a beat, and his face became extremely ugly.He really has no confidence in King Yu. On the one hand, it comes from his understanding of King Yu. King Yu is kind-hearted, but cowardly.He will never turn against the court officials because of him, Huang Jin.

On the other hand, he is really unfamiliar with King Yu, even though he defected to King Yu, King Yu also accepted him.However, there is no direct cooperation between the two people, and it can be said that there is no affection between the two people. The connection between Huang Jin and King Yu depends entirely on Luo Xin.In other words, the only one who can protect Huang Jin is Luo Xin.

He believed in Luo Xin's character, since he promised him, he would definitely protect him.This is the reputation that Luo Xin has cultivated for many years. Whether it is Luo Xin's friend or enemy, everyone deeply respects this point.

He also believed in Luo Xin's influence on King Yu. As long as Luo Xin was there, he would be able to influence King Yu. He believed in Luo Xin's ability even more.

but……

Now Luo Xin is not here, he is in the prison.

Huang Jin couldn't help sighing, he admitted that Xu Jie was right, the two were indeed in the same disease, and when Emperor Jiajing died, he lost his backer.When King Yu ascended the throne, Xu Jie also became the enemy of King Yu. Don't forget that Xu Jie once betrayed King Yu.So, neither of them will end well.

Xu Jie will be dismissed from office, there is no doubt about it.

But what about yourself?
Xu Jie was dismissed, so who will control Daming?

High arch!

Gao Gong has always looked down on eunuchs, how could he be better?
"Mr. Ge, just say what you have to say." Huang Jin said helplessly.

"It's very simple, as long as the old man is still sitting in the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet, he can keep you safe."

"Are you still sitting in the position of the chief minister of the cabinet?" Huang Jin snorted: "How do you sit?"

"Need your father-in-law's help."

"What do you want to do?" Huang Jin's eyes showed vigilance: "You want to falsely preach the imperial decree?"

Xu Jie lowered his eyelids and said, "No need."

"Ge Lao, tell me, this old slave listens." Huang Jin looked at Xu Jie warily.

Xu Jie turned his head to look at Emperor Jiajing, then lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty will only be here for three or two days."

Huang Jin's expression didn't change much. Although the imperial physician didn't tell him, he had served Emperor Jiajing for many years, and even the imperial physician didn't know much about Emperor Jiajing's body.

"Before the father-in-law knows that the new emperor succeeds to the throne, there must be a will, right?"

Huang Jin focused his eyes and said: "The posthumous edict requires at least two people to be present, and it must be written by His Majesty himself."

"You also said that it is on the bright side. In the past dynasties, too many of them were written by ministers."

"What do you mean?" Huang Jin frowned and said, "A will can't lead you to retain the position of chief minister of the cabinet. You and I both know that the so-called will is a statement of the merits and demerits of a generation of emperors, and it cannot be included in the will. It mentioned that you will continue to be the chief minister of the cabinet. If you write that, it will be a big trouble."

"I'm not stupid!" Xu Jie said lightly: "And I will invite His Royal Highness Yu Wang to come down. If His Royal Highness Yu Wang is not satisfied with the will I wrote, I will change it until His Royal Highness Yu is satisfied. This is the head office, right?" ?”

"Then what do you want me to do?"

"I will let Zhang Juzheng participate as another person, so that there will be two officials, and there will be no violation of the rules. At that time, you and King Yu will need to prove that His Majesty was sober when writing the will and read it to His Majesty, Your Majesty The seal was added after agreeing. In fact, you have nothing to worry about. If King Yu agrees, what else can you not agree to?"

Huang Jin turned his head and glanced at the sleeping Emperor Jiajing on the bed, then thought for a moment and said:

"Okay, but on one condition."

There was joy in Xu Jie's eyes: "Say it."

"I want Luo Xin to be released."

Xu Jie was stunned for a moment, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared, with a faint smile on his face and said:

"It turns out that the father-in-law and Luo Xin have a very good personal relationship. The father-in-law put the future fate on Luo Xin, right?"

"Stop talking about those useless things, this is our family's condition."

Xu Jie shook his head and said, "I don't have that ability, but Eunuch has that ability. You want Eunuch to write an imperial decree..."

"You want to kill me?" Eunuch Huang stared at Xu Jie with killing intent in his eyes.

"No!" Xu Jie shook his head and said, "You can write a decree now and use His Majesty's seal, and when His Majesty dies, you can welcome Luo Xin out. At that time, His Royal Highness Yu Wang and the old man will testify, and no one will It will not be said that this decree is false."

"No, I want Luo Xin to come out now."

"Then I can't do it."

Xu Jie spread his hands and said, why would he let Luo Xin come out now?Now that he has messed with Ma Fang, it is enough for him to worry about it. If Luo Xin is allowed to come out at this time, and these three people join forces, how can he have a chance to carry out his plan?

"Then what do you say?"

The two of you come and go, completely forgetting that the person lying on the bed is Emperor Jiajing, the supreme power controller of Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Jiajing has been in a coma. If he wants to hear, the chief minister of the Ming cabinet he elected is the same as his own. Huang Jin, a trusted confidant, was discussing the false imperial decree there, wondering if he would jump up?

In the end, Xu Jie and Huang Jin negotiated and came up with a result. Huang Jin cooperated with Xu Jie to write the will, and Huang Jin also wrote an imperial edict to release Luo Xin from prison.At that time, both parties will prove to each other that the edict is true, and the edict is also true.

However, once the will is written, it will be placed with Huang Jin, and the imperial edict to release Luo Xin will also be placed with Xu Jie.After the death of Emperor Jiajing, the two sides will exchange again.

"Then let's split up!"

"it is good!"

Xu Jie left.Soon, Zhang Juzheng went to Xu Jie's valet room, stayed in the valet room for a short time, then left the valet room, and went straight to Prince Yu's mansion.

After seeing King Yu, Zhang Juzheng asked King Yu to back off, leaving only the two of them, and handed the edict written by Xu Jie to King Yu.King Yu accepted the edict and said:

"what is this?"

"Your Highness will know after a look." Zhang Juzheng said softly.

King Yu and his party looked at each other, their expressions fluctuated, and finally put down the edict and said:

"Who wrote this edict?"
