Chapter 1470 Luo Xin Gets Out of Prison
King Yu nodded immediately, in fact he was already exhausted.Immediately nodded and said: "Alright!"

As soon as King Yu left, Gao Gong, who had been holding back for a long time, stood up immediately, stared at Xu Jie and said:
"Master Xu, the matter of the will is no small matter, why didn't the cabinet know about it beforehand?"

Xu Jie slightly raised his eyelids and said, "I'm the chief assistant of the cabinet, I know it, and the cabinet knows it."

Gao Gong felt bitter in his heart, this is the right of the chief minister of the cabinet.But still staring angrily:
"It's about Qingyu, the first emperor. Although you are the chief minister of the cabinet, you can't be arbitrary. Master Xu, you have the heart of disobedience."

Xu Jie said calmly, "The posthumous edict was written on the instruction of the late emperor!"

"What proof do you have?"

"His Royal Highness King Yu, Eunuch Huang, and Zhang Juzheng were all there at that time. All of them can prove it."

Gao Gong and Ma Fang were stunned for a moment, and then their hearts were filled with ashes.They remembered that King Yu and Zhang Juzheng entered Emperor Jiajing's bedroom successively that day, which should be the last edict written that day.

but……

Who can guarantee that Emperor Jiajing is awake?
And didn't Xu Jie betray King Yu?

Why does King Yu and Xu Jie appear to be cooperating tacitly today?
Is there any tacit agreement between them?
Gao Gong regretted it!
At this time, he felt that when Emperor Jiajing let Xu Jie be in charge of the palace, it seemed that Xu Jie's power in the cabinet had been reduced, but Xu Jie had control of the palace.

"Your Majesty is confused!"

Huang Jin and Luo Xin walked out of the dungeon. As the two walked, Huang Jin lowered his voice and told Luo Xin what happened recently in detail.When Luo Xin heard about the will, his expression changed and he said:

"You tell me the content of the will."

"it is good!"

The entire capital was filled with filial piety overnight, and white flags were hung up in every household.

The plaque on the Meridian Gate has been covered by a white cloth, and Beijing officials of rank seven and above are kneeling in front of the gate, crying and howling.

It was a quarter to an hour.

The doors on both sides were opened, and the six ministers of the cabinet, the nine ministers, and the royal family, came out in hemp and filial piety, and then stood quietly on both sides.

Then the eunuch in filial piety came out from the Yemen, holding a whip in his hand, and with a shake of his hand, the two long whips stuck straight to the ground like arms.Then he swung his long whip and made a whipping sound in the air.

The Meridian Gate slowly opened!

It's the hour!
The bells of the Bell and Drum Tower rang, and then the big bells in Taoist temples throughout the capital rang together, announcing that the old emperor was dead and the new emperor was about to ascend the throne.

Xu Jie led the clan of hundreds of officials and princes to kneel down in the square.

On Chang'an Street.

He hurried home, took a shower, changed his clothes, and hurried to Chang'an Avenue. It was Huang Jin who told him that King Yu would be waiting for him here.He didn't know why King Yu insisted on waiting for him at this time, but he still came at the speed of marching.

He saw King Yu's chariot at a glance, Luo Xin jumped out of the carriage, Huang Jin had already greeted him, seeing that Luo Xin had changed into filial piety, he lowered his voice and said:

"The new king is on the chariot!"

Luo Xin nodded, and came to the side of the chariot, just to step on the horse, he saw King Yu standing there excitedly.Luo Xin stood there with tenderness in his heart.Anyway, King Yu still wanted to release himself. Although this was a deal between Huang Jin and Xu Jie, King Yu played a crucial role.

"Your Highness!" King Yu hadn't ascended the throne yet, so Luo Xin still called King Yu His Highness.

"Master Luo, you have suffered."

"It's not suffering!"

Luo Xin said calmly, in fact, Luo Xin really did not suffer. Although the air quality in the prison is poor, the bedding is all new, and the food and drinks are bought from the Zhuangyuan Building every day. In addition to restricting freedom, it also Really did not suffer.

"It's Your Highness who has suffered all these years."

Hearing Luo Xin's words, King Yu's eyes turned red, and his voice was a little choked up:

"If Heaven hadn't pitifully seen, Master Luo had come to Gu's side, Gu would have...died a long time ago."

King Yu was really sad. In his opinion, if Luo Xin hadn't become his teacher, he might have been killed by King Jing long ago.And it was precisely because of Luo Xin's appearance that his life improved and he didn't have to live in poverty every day. It was Li Shizhen invited by Luo Xin to give birth to his son.

Life is better, the son is born, King Jing is killed, and Emperor Jiajing is killed.

It's not easy!

At this time, King Yu was most grateful to Luo Xin, and he couldn't help holding Luo Xin's hand, and said emotionally:

"Master Luo, you and I are about the same age. From now on, you don't treat me as a teacher, and I don't treat you as a subject. We are friends."

Luo Xin smiled and said, "Your Highness, I don't need to treat you as a student, but I must treat you as an emperor!"

King Yu shook his head and looked at Luo Dao sincerely: "Master Luo, I don't know how the emperors of the past dynasties lived, but I know that the father and the emperor are lonely and have no close friends. I don't want to be like this. I want to have a A bosom friend. Like ordinary people, have a bosom friend."

Luo Xin is very familiar with Yu Wang's psychological process. Although as time goes by, after Yu Wang sits on the throne, his thoughts may change, but now why does Luo Xin not want to do it?

"If you don't obey your orders!"

"Good! Good! Good!" King Yu said "Hello" three times, and held Luo Xin's hand even tighter: "I will accompany Gu Gu on the imperial chariot for a while."

Luo was shocked in his heart. Since ancient times, people who were not qualified to ride with the emperor in the same chariot did not end well. He smiled bitterly and said:
"Your Highness, this is against the rules."

"What I say alone is the rules."

Unexpectedly, King Yu is very stubborn at this time. Luo Xin clearly knows that if anyone in Daming is qualified to share a chariot with King Yu, there are only three people.

Xu Jie, Gao Gong and Ma Fang.

Because that position was reserved for Zaifu.What is Luo Xin?
Just a third-rank rite minister.

Moreover, this is the first time that King Yu has appeared as a new king. If Luo Xin and King Yu share the same chariot at this time, it would be too showy.

People must know where they are and what they are doing, otherwise it will be a disaster rather than a blessing.

"Gu just wants the world to know that you are the person Gu trusts the most. Moreover, it is unfair to your father to put you in prison. Gu wants to justify your name."

Luo was moved in his heart, but at this time, Emperor Jiajing also felt a little grateful.

Emperor Jiajing finally put Luo Xin in the prison. After staying in the prison for less than a quarter of an hour, Luo Xin understood that Emperor Jiajing was doing it for his own good.

Originally, Luo Xin released most of the officials by letting the officials in the prison admit their mistakes, not only made those officials owe Luo Xin a favor, but also gained the favor of all the officials.

However, they did not expect that Emperor Jiajing would actually spread rumors, and finally forced an official to death, which turned the public opinion upside down. Xin is Emperor Jiajing's running dog.

In such a situation, Luo Xin's reputation can be imagined.
