Mingshi

Chapter 1352 Rumors
"Your Majesty, it can be seen that all officials hate Luo Xin deeply." Xu Jie said calmly: "Luo Xin's evil deeds have violated the will of the saint, and now there is a saying circulating in the streets and alleys."

"What?"

"In ancient times there was Bai Qi, but now there is Luo Xin!"

The room fell into silence, and after a while, Emperor Jiajing's cold voice sounded.

"Go back!"

"His Majesty……"

"Back off!" Emperor Jiajing's voice suddenly became sharp.

Xu Jie and Gao Gong looked at each other, bowed to salute, and retreated.

Xu Jie and Gao Gong were walking on Baishi Road, Gao Gong looked at Xu Jie and said, "Master Xu, why haven't I heard the saying that there is Bai Qi in ancient times, and Luo Xin today?"

"Hehe... It's not easy to want to have it! Mr. Gao, we are now on the same line. We have no selfish motives, but to seek justice for those innocent mountain people."

The arched lips moved, but in the end it turned into a sigh.

Inside the imperial study.

"Huang Banban!"

"Long live!"

"In ancient times there was Bai Qi, and now there is Luo Xin, haha... Do you really have this saying?"

"The old slave doesn't know, the old slave will arrange for someone to investigate."

"No need!" Emperor Jiajing raised his head and looked out of the window, his expression became sad and said: "I am like a bird in a cage, locked in this Forbidden City."

"Long live!"

"Huang Banban, go make some arrangements and go out with me for a while."

"Go out? Where to go?"

"Going out of the palace, I haven't been out of the palace for nearly 20 years, and I've been a caged bird for 20 years. Let's go out for a walk today."

"Long live……"

"Let's make arrangements, let's sneak out through the back door."

"Long live, do you want to wear it?"

"Ok!"

"Long live the..."

"Go arrange it!"

"Yes!"

Chang'an Avenue.

Emperor Jiajing was dressed in foreign clothes, followed by Huang Jin in casual clothes.There are more than [-] people around them, but they are dressed in different ways, some are dressed as businessmen, some are dressed as Confucian scholars, and some are veterans, traffickers and pawns. These twenty or so people are scattered around Emperor Jiajing, as if they don't know Emperor Jiajing, just They walked together, but invisibly separated the others from Emperor Jiajing.

"Master, where are we going?" Huang Jin asked softly.

As Emperor Jiajing walked, he looked around and said, "Let's go to the biggest teahouse in the capital first, and then we'll go to Taibai Restaurant for dinner in the evening."

"Yes!"

As soon as Emperor Jiajing stepped into the teahouse, a smile appeared on his face.There were quite a lot of people in the teahouse. This kind of prosperous scene made Emperor Jiajing very happy, which proved that he was a wise emperor.He found a corner and sat down with Huang Jin. Huang Jin asked for tea and melon seeds, and then turned his gaze to the storyteller.

At this time, the storyteller was talking about the sadness.

This story tells how the mountain people in Jiangxi were recruited by the imperial court and how they oppressed the Han people after they left Laolin.

It was about a beautiful daughter of a family, but she was raped and raped by mountain people. The girl couldn't bear the humiliation, so she committed suicide.The woman's father sued the government, and those mountain people went to the Yamen in gangs to make trouble and appeal for grievances. In the end, the government judged that the woman and the old man had no evidence, falsely accused the mountain people, and were thrown into prison.

One after another, it was all about the cruelty and greed of the mountain people. Hearing the excitement of the crowd in the teahouse, a man slapped the table and shouted:
"Such people should be killed. Is my Ming Dynasty so cowardly? I am afraid of those mountain people, and dare not be fair, and turn around to bully the people of Daming. If the wind rises, everyone will learn from it. Isn’t Daming full of troublesome people? It’s really a country without a country.”

"That's right!" The storyteller sighed, and then continued: "Everyone be objective, listen to me continue. All these incidents made those mountain people more domineering, and when they felt unsatisfactory, they gathered together They made trouble, even smashed the government. In the end, it turned into a rebellion."

"Kill! Kill them. I, Da Ming, even killed the Tartars in the north and the Japanese pirates in the southeast. Some small mountain people, what is Da Ming afraid of?"

There was a lot of discussion in the teahouse: "This kind of troublemaker must be beaten painfully and frightened, so that they will fear Daming. We common people understand these principles, but don't the princes of the court understand?"

"A few days ago, everyone knew about the rebellion between the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, right?" the storyteller Hong said.

"Know!"

"Know!"

"..."

"However, they were defeated. Lord Hu led an army of 30, and divided the troops into Jiangxi and Guangdong with 15 each. He did not expect that the rebels such as the Bailian Sect and Zhang Daoyuan would collude with those mountain people. Those mountain people pretended to be good people, and Bailian The teaching has nothing to do with Zhang Daoyuan, and he took the initiative to help Hu Dashuai suppress the bandits.

In fact, they informed the rebels of all of Hu Dashuai's actions, and led Hu Dashuai into an ambush, and finally killed more than [-] soldiers of my Ming Dynasty. "

"what?"

"Such a thing happened?"

"What are your majesty and those adults in the court doing?"

"What are you doing? Chick..." A scholar-like man sneered, "Those grown-ups are arguing about how to educate the mountain people."

"enlightenment?"

"Impossible! It's impossible for His Majesty and the adults to be so stupid that they've been shitted on their necks, and they still reason with them?"

Everyone was talking about it, but the scholar didn't believe everyone when he saw it, and said with an angry look on his face:

"Don't you believe me, I just came over from Taibai Restaurant for lunch. There are many court officials who often eat there. I heard what they said with my own ears. Do you know what they said?"

"What did you say?" Everyone asked each other.Emperor Jiajing also pricked up his ears.

"Hehe..." The scholar first sneered twice and said: "You may not know that after Marshal Hu failed to suppress the bandits because of those mountain people, he was injured and fell into a coma, and the current Southern Manager, Master Luo Xinluo, went to Jiangxi in person. "

"Master Luo has gone?"

"Great!"

"With our Great Ming Army God going there in person, we will certainly be able to put down the rebels."

"Young man, is what you said true?"

"I don't know either!" the scholar shook his head.

Everyone was disappointed for a while, and some impatient people cursed: "You don't know, what are you talking about here? Are you grandstanding?"

The scholar rolled his eyes and said: "I'm not a court official, how do I know about such important military affairs? I heard these words from those officials in Taibai Restaurant. If those officials didn't lie, then it must be true .”

"Then it must be true!" Everyone was discussing: "Those officials are naturally better informed than us common people. My son, tell me quickly, what else have you heard?"

"Cough cough..."

The scholar coughed twice, and everyone was silent, their eyes focused on the scholar.
