Mingshi

Chapter 1197

That night, Luo Xin and Xu Shixing talked by candlelight, and the next day, accompanied by Xu Shixing, Luo Xin began to inspect the mutual market again.Luo Xin was very satisfied with the mutual market run by Xu Shixing, and the two talked and laughed happily, but they didn't know that Xuanfu was in a gloomy state at this time.

Ma Fang's book had already been rushed to the capital at eight hundred li. Although he did not find Luo Xin's body, he already believed in his heart that Luo Xin was dead and was blown to pieces.

He really couldn't bear this result. Luo Xin died in the north, and he was killed in the bombing. He was killed in Changling, which was very close to the Xuan Mansion. How could he, Ma Fang, get away with it?
It is bound to usher in the thunderous wrath of Emperor Jiajing.

More importantly, Ma Fang has been deeply impressed by Luo Xin. He thinks that Luo Xin is Daming's jade pillar. If Luo Xin dies, it will be an unbearable loss for Daming.

After he sent out the memorial overnight, he immediately dispatched soldiers to search for those who buried the explosives.He believed that with so many explosives buried, it was impossible not to find any clues.He had to dig out these people and give an explanation to the dead Luo Xin and the living Emperor Jiajing.

Luo Xin didn't know about these things, so he stayed in the mutual market for another day, brought up the problems he saw, and further improved the mutual market system with Xu Shixing, and hosted a banquet for representatives of the mutual market at night, and it was only at dawn the next day, He left the exchange market and headed towards Xuanfu.

After such a delay, Ma Fang's memorial had already arrived in the capital and was placed in front of Emperor Jiajing.

People often feel precious only when they lose something.

When Luo Xin was alive, no matter how much credit he made and how loyal he was, Emperor Jiajing was still full of fear towards Luo Xin.He has always been wary of Luo Xin, and even has murderous intentions.

but……

Now that Luo Xin died, Emperor Jiajing looked at the memorial in his hand, but felt grief and hesitation in his heart.

Scenes of Luo Xin's past flashed in front of Emperor Jiajing's eyes. Before Datong, the horse kicked Alatan Khan's 20 battalion, led [-] cavalry to cross the herbs, and beheaded Alatan Khan's head.

Huang Taiji's soldiers approached the capital, and it was Luo Xin who repelled Huang Taiji and beheaded Huang Taiji.

Eliminate Japanese pirates, suppress rogue bandits, and establish a shipping department and mutual market.

The reason why Emperor Jiajing was able to live a leisurely life of cultivating Taoism was because Luo Xin fought for him.

Without Luo Xin, do you count on Xu Jie and Gao Gong?
At this time, Emperor Jiajing suddenly felt that Gao Gong and Xu Jie in the cabinet were just decorations, and they were really fighting for the Ming Dynasty to open up financial resources. It was not these two cabinets who were inspecting the north and the south, but Luo Xin, the fourth-rank official.

Now that Luo Xin died suddenly, who would he rely on in the future?
He suddenly felt that, unconsciously, Luo Xin had become so important in his heart and in Daming.

In the past, Luo Xin was always feared in his heart, and he had murderous intentions in his heart several times.However, now that Luo Xin is dead, he doesn't feel the slightest joy in his heart, and he doesn't even relax after losing his fear, instead he feels even more heavy.

Emperor Jiajing's mood became irritable, he called Liu Shouyou and Huang Jin to him, cursed at him, and then ordered Jin Yiwei and Dongchang to send troops to catch the murderer who killed Luo Xin.

Liu Shouyou and Huang Jin were also flustered at this time.

Both of these two people have a common secret that they don't know about each other. Both of them defected to King Yu and wrote blood letters to King Yu.But the bond with King Yu is Luo Xin.Moreover, Luo Xin's wisdom has convinced the two of them. The two of them have always regarded Luo Xin as the leader. Now that Luo Xin is dead, both of them are panicked. Go to Yu Wang's mansion and ask Yu Wang what to do.

"Master Liu, do you think...is Lord Luo really dead?" Huang Jin asked in a trembling voice.

"Master Ma said that many corpses were blown to pieces, and it was impossible to tell who they were. Although Master Luo was not found, they should be among those corpses."

"Let's go to Changling to see for ourselves."

"Finally dead!"

King Jing jumped up happily when he received the news that Luo Xin had been blown up in the study.Walking back and forth on the ground a few times, he waved his hand and said:

"Go ask Master Xu and Yuan Master to come over."

After half an hour.

Xu Jie and Yuan Wei came to King Jing's study. At this time, they also knew that Luo Xin had been killed by the bomb, and they were really afraid that King Jing had done this.So, as soon as the two of them entered the study, Xu Jie immediately asked:
"Your Highness, is Luo Xin's death related to His Highness?"

King Jing's expression froze, and then he flatly denied: "It has nothing to do with Gu, and Gu just got the news."

"Really?" Yuan Wei on the side also asked seriously.

King Jing's face showed anger and said: "If Gu says it's not, then it's not. Gu invited two teachers over today to discuss what we should do next. Luo Xin's death is an opportunity for us."

Xu Jie and Yuan Wei looked at each other, a trace of worry flashed in their eyes, both of them couldn't believe that Luo Xin's death had nothing to do with King Jing.However, King Jing refused to admit it, and the two of them had nothing to do.And at this time, Xu Jie really regretted defecting to King Jing.King Jing was able to assassinate the ministers of the court. If he could kill Luo Xin today, wouldn't he use this method to kill Xu Jie in the future?
As a scholar, there is still a bottom line.Conspiracy and conspiracy can be used, but an assassination like this has already touched the bottom line.If you can assassinate people from the opposing camp today, wouldn't people from the opposing camp assassinate you?
For a moment, Xu Jie was a little absent-minded.

Yuan Wei on the side thought for a moment and said, "At this time, it is better to be still than to move."

"Is it better to be still than to move?"

King Jing was in a hurry at that time. He took such a big risk and made such a big effort, not because it was because it was better to be still than to move, so he couldn't help but said hastily:

"Master Yuan, this is the right time."

Yuan Wei shook his head and said, "Your Highness, this time is not an opportunity, but a crisis."

"crisis?"

"That's right! If Jin Yiwei and Dongchang have been unable to catch the beast that killed Luo Xin, then whoever benefits will be the most suspected object. If we attack at this time, there is no doubt that His Highness will be the one who benefits the most. Even if His Highness did not do the bombing of Luo Xin, it would still be the subject of suspicion. And His Majesty does not need evidence, only suspicion."

"This……"

King Jing's face turned pale. Doesn't this mean that all his busy work was in vain?He couldn't help but asked unwillingly:
"Are we just giving up the opportunity?"

At this time, Xu Jie had woken up from his trance, and took a deep breath. Now that he had gotten off King Yu's boat and boarded King Jing's boat, he would go to the end even if he regretted it. Looking at King Jing, he said:
"This opportunity can't go away, we just don't move for the time being."
