Chapter 1094: Emperor Jiajing’s Hesitation
Emperor Jiajing's chest heaved violently, but his final expression gradually became decadent. He looked at Gao Gong and said:
"Put on your hat, we monarchs and ministers have to discuss a solution."

Gao Gong put his hat back on obediently, and Emperor Jiajing said again: "Everyone get up. Give them a stool."

Huang Jin arranged for two young eunuchs to bring in two brocade stools. Xu Jie and Gao Gong sat down carefully after thanking them.Emperor Jiajing said:
"What rules do you have in mind?"

Xu Jie frowned and said nothing, Gao Gong pondered for a moment and said, "Yuxi Palace should stop for now, and use the remaining money for disaster relief and encirclement and suppression of bandits."

"Not enough!" Emperor Jiajing said.

"Let's collect from the states." Xu Jie said softly.

"Distributed to the common people?" Gao Gong frowned: "This is to destroy the foundation of the country again."

"Then what are your two strategies?" Xu Jie asked lightly.

Gao Gong was silent, and Emperor Jiajing pondered for a moment and said: "No way! There are more and more vagrants and bandits now. If you force the apportionment, it will only increase more rogues. This is a stupid way."

"If..." Gao Gong frowned and said, "It would be great if we can solve the problem of Shibo Department in a short time."

Emperor Jiajing's eyes lit up and said, "Do you have a good plan?"

Gao Gong shook his head and said, "Not now, and I don't know much about the situation in the southeast, but I can recommend someone."

"Who?" Emperor Jiajing's eyes lit up: "Can he solve the problem for me?"

"I don't know!" Gao Gong shook his head.Seeing that Emperor Jiajing's face was not his face, and his nose was not his nose, he hurriedly said: "However, if I have a [-]% certainty to solve it, I have at least a [-]% certainty to solve it."

Emperor Jiajing raised his eyebrows. It is strange that he can still be [-]% sure of the current situation.Then he asked curiously:
"Who is it? I didn't expect that I, Daming, have such a talent."

"Roxin!"

"No!" Before Emperor Jiajing could speak, Xu Jie spoke suddenly.

A trace of sarcasm appeared on Gao Gong's face and said: "If Master Xu can relieve His Majesty's worries, Luo Xin is not needed."

Xu Jie snorted coldly and said, "What can't be solved by you and me as the chief minister of the cabinet or the second minister of the cabinet, how can he, Luo Xinhe De, be able to solve it?"

"Chi..." Gao Gong sneered unceremoniously and said: "Master Xu, I said before that if Yuxi Palace is not rebuilt, some of the money left by the reconstruction of Yuxi Palace will not appear at all. , and there will be no rogues. In this way, we will have enough energy to solve the southeast problem. However, you are determined to rebuild the Yuxi Palace. What about now?

If you don't have that diamond, don't do that porcelain job. "

After hearing Gao Gong's words, not only Xu Jie's face turned dark, but Emperor Jiajing's face also turned dark, but Emperor Jiajing didn't get angry either.

I don't have the confidence to get angry!

As Gao Gong said, if the Yuxi Palace was not rebuilt, the money would be enough for disaster relief, and there would be no refugees, let alone bandits.Without these troublesome things, there may be no way to concentrate on dealing with the southeast.

but……

What Gao Gong said was really heartbreaking!
"Lord Xu, when Luo Xin repaired the imperial palace, he didn't spend a penny from the treasury. This is Luo Xin's ability. From this point, you are not as good as him, don't you admit it?"

Xu Jie's face turned darker, and Emperor Jiajing's expression couldn't help but change.Listening to Gao Gong, he continued:

"Let's talk about the southeast again. I don't need to say who founded the Shibo Division? I don't need to say who wiped out the Japanese pirates back then? So, for Southeast, for the Japanese pirates, for the Shibo Division The person who knows best, and the person most likely to come up with a solution, doesn't agree with me, does it?
Of course, if Lord Xu can solve these matters, Luo Xin is not needed. "

Xu Jie's heart was full of unwillingness, he finally got Luo Xin into the prison, how could he be willing to let Luo Xin turn over?If Luo Xin stands up again this time and solves all these problems, his status in Emperor Jiajing's heart may be comparable to that of Xu Jie. It may be very difficult to defeat Luo Xin again in the future.So, he took a deep breath and said:
"Your Majesty, at the beginning, Luo Xin was resentful because he did not receive the reward from His Majesty. If he was resentful, even if he was allowed to come out, he might not be able to serve His Majesty, and he might not be able to do anything about it. Please give your Majesty another reward A little time."

"Give you a little time?" Emperor Jiajing frowned slightly. To be honest, he could let Luo Xin out, but he didn't let Luo Xin out under such circumstances.To let Luo Xin out under such circumstances is to admit that he cannot do without Luo Xin, which is a disguised form of conceding defeat. How could Emperor Jiajing be willing.

He looked at Xu Jie again, with a look of hesitation on his face.Gao Gong became anxious when he saw it.To be honest, he didn't want Luo Xin to come out either. Now even he couldn't see through Luo Xin. Sometimes he felt that Luo Xin posed a greater threat to him than Xu Jie.Luo Xin is like a potential dragon, as long as he is given a chance, he might take off.Moreover, ever since Luo Xin stepped into the officialdom, Xu Jie began to suppress Luo Xin, wishing to drive Luo Xin out of the officialdom completely and ruin Luo Xin's reputation.However, under such pressure, Luo Xin grew up step by step. A 22-year-old senior official of the fourth rank is scary to say the least.Even if Emperor Jiajing is thrown into prison now, Emperor Jiajing did not deprive him of his official position, let alone his title, which is very intriguing.

Once such a person is given a chance, Gao Gong is extremely afraid in his heart.However, he didn't know if Luo Xin could solve the current rogue bandits and Japanese pirates, as well as Daming's financial problems. Anyway, he couldn't solve it by himself, and he thought that Xu Jie couldn't solve it either, and no one in Ming Dynasty could solve it.Even Luo Xin, he is a dead horse as a living horse doctor.After all, Luo Xin is known as the military god of the Ming Dynasty. If anyone can solve the rogues and Japanese pirates, who else could it be except Luo Xin, the military god of the Ming Dynasty?

Luo Xin is known as the God of Wealth of the Ming Dynasty. If anyone can solve the finances of the Ming Dynasty, who else can be besides the God of Wealth of the Ming Dynasty?

When he had no choice but to watch Da Ming fall, Gao Gong could only push Luo Xin out.Fortunately, he and Luo Xin are still allies, unlike Xu Jie and Luo Xin who are enemies.So, when he saw Emperor Jiajing looking at Xu Jie, he hurriedly said:

"His Majesty……"

"Your Majesty..." Seeing Gao Gong speak, Xu Jie also hurriedly spoke.

"Okay!" Emperor Jiajing stopped the two of them and fell into deep thought again. After a while, he looked at Xu Jie and said, "Xu Jie, I will give you a little more time. Don't let me down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xu Jie hurriedly thanked him, and Gao Gong's face showed disappointment.

"Let's stop Yuxi Palace temporarily." Emperor Jiajing said lightly.

"Yes!" Cold sweat broke out on Xu Jie's forehead.

"Go down!"

"I retire!"

Gao Gong, Xu Jie and Liu Shouyou retreated together.
