Chapter 1362 The Pressure of Emperor Jiajing
"Yes! If the general will let a mountain dweller rush out, he will come to see him."

"Okay!" Luo Xin nodded, then looked at Huangshan and said, "Huangshan, as long as you can assist General Li to guard the exit this time and prevent a rebel from rushing out, after the matter is completed, it is only the most basic to teach you wine-making techniques. Yes, I will report to His Majesty and ask for credit for you, when the time comes, the imperial court will definitely appoint you a half-official position, and you will be one of the leaders of the millions of mountain people in the future."

"Thank you, sir!" Huang Shan knelt down excitedly and thanked him.

"General Qi!"

"The end is here!"

Qi Jiguang hurriedly responded, these days he was also a little anxious, only Qi Jiguang participated in a battle when he ambushed the rebels who were grabbing food last time, the rest didn't do anything at all, they were already anxious.

"I'll give you 5000 people, plus 6000 people from Weihe, for a total of 1000 people. You are here to ambush."

Luo Xin pointed his finger at a place on the map, a canyon only 5000 meters away from where General Li stationed his troops.Qi Jiguang's eyes lit up.

"What a place to ambush."

"That's right, you guys are here to gather around and fight for aid, is there no problem?"

"No problem!" Qi Jiguang said excitedly: "As many people come, I will kill as many people as possible."

"I don't worry about your work!" Luo Xin nodded, then looked at Wei He and said, "Wei He."

"The little guy is here."

"Assist General Qi well. After you succeed, I will guarantee you a half-job and become one of the leaders of the millions of mountain people."

"Thank you sir!" Wei He looked overjoyed, and knelt down excitedly, Hao Datong looked at Luo Xin eagerly.

Luo Xin looked at Qi Jiguang and Wei He and said, "Let's set off immediately."

"Yes!"

Soon, Qi Jiguang and Wei He set off with 1000 people. In this way, 6000 officers and soldiers and Hao Datong took [-] mountain people, a total of [-] people.

"Hao Datong."

"The little guy is here!"

"Don't worry, you will follow me. All your performance will be seen in my eyes. After the war is over, I will definitely protect you as an official and make you one of the leaders of the millions of mountain people.

At that time, with the support of the government behind you and the technology of brewing wine in your hands, you will lead the mountain people to live a prosperous life, and you will definitely be respected by all the mountain people. "

"Thank you sir." Hao Datong blushed with excitement.

"Let's set off." Luo Xin stood up and said, "Select 1000 people who are familiar with the road from your subordinates, and merge them into the scout camp, and spread them out along the way. The whereabouts of the army."

"Yes!"

The army set off.

Beijing.

The rain is coming from the wind!
Now the situation is like cooking oil, from Shangzhe to impeach Luo Xin, and Shangzhezi to support Luo Xin, it has become a court dispute.

Moreover, under Wang Cuiqiao's deliberate dissemination, the common people overwhelmingly supported Luo Xin's conquest of the mountain people, thus forming two completely different situations.

Above the court, those who impeached Luo Xin gained the upper hand.

Among the common people, those who support Luo Xin have the upper hand.

Those who impeached Luo Xin scolded Luo Xin as a butcher. Such an act violated the will of the saint and would shake the foundation of the country.

Those who support Luo Xin show that the people are like water, and the king is like a boat. Water can carry a boat or capsize it.Now that the common people support Luo Xin, it proves that Luo Xin is right. The impeachment of Luo Xin at this time is precisely to shake the foundation of the country.

It also pointed out that the barbarians have different minds and cannot be regarded by the people.Don't you hear about Zhongshan wolf?
However, some members of the Xu party soon retorted that the mountain people are different from the Tartars. Although they are barbarians, they live in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. .

He also supported Luo Xin's humanity. There were many enlightenments before the court, but the barbarians refused to accept the king's transformation, capricious, and the people were stubborn.Such a barbarian, who wants to settle without a war, is a corrupt Confucian idea and an act that harms the country.He also cites many examples of repeated rebellions by the barbarians to refute the act of enlightenment.

This court dispute spread from the imperial court to the scholarly circle of the literary world, and the scholarly circle of the literary world was also divided into two camps.

Afterwards, the people in the field expanded, and almost all the people in the field supported Luo Xin, and they advertised Luo Xin as a national hero. Even storytellers compiled storytelling to praise Luo Xin, and theater troupes even compiled dramas to praise Luo Xin. .

The two sides of support and impeachment, you come and go, spitting, although everyone is racking their brains, but everyone knows that it is not them who really make the decision, but Emperor Jiajing.

However, Emperor Jiajing remained silent and watched coldly.People can't figure out what Emperor Jiajing was thinking.

In fact, Emperor Jiajing was under great pressure.

Xu Jie and Gao Gong joined forces to impeach Luo Xin for the first time, and the pressure on Emperor Jiajing was not ordinary.

Emperor Jiajing hadn't been in court for decades, but he was still able to firmly control the government in his own hands. What was the reason?
It's about balancing.

Whether it was Yan Song and Xu Jie at the beginning, or Xu Jie and Gao Gong now, it is a kind of balance.

Let Yan Song and Xu Jie fight, let Xu Jie and Gao Gong fight, and he, Emperor Jiajing, sits there as a referee, firmly holding the power in his own hands.

However, when Gao Gong and Xu Jie were inseparable and united intimately, this put too much pressure on Emperor Jiajing.

Without him.

If Xu Jie and Gao Gong join forces, if they don't fight, then Emperor Jiajing will not be a referee, but will become the target of Gao Gong and Xu Jie to conquer.

If he agreed to the impeachment of Gao Gong and Xu Jie, it would be a surrender to his courtiers. How could Emperor Jiajing agree to this?
If he refuted the impeachment of Gao Gong and Xu Jie, he would have to come up with reasons for the refutation.
For a person who is used to being a referee, let him go off all of a sudden, lower his status and compete with his courtiers, this is already a loss for Emperor Jiajing.

However, a country has never been absolutely decided by the emperor. Faced with the pressure of Gao Gong and Xu Jie, Emperor Jiajing couldn't stand it.Moreover, as he got older, he was even more unwilling to cause trouble, and he only wanted to live a peaceful monastic life.

He was not quite sure whether it was better to treat the mountain people like Luo Xin did to slaughter and exterminate them, or to treat them like Gao Gong and Xu Jie did.He just felt that the mountain people had killed more than [-] officers and soldiers, which was embarrassing. On the other hand, he felt guilty towards Luo Xin, so he kept procrastinating on this matter.

However, when the pressure hit his face and made Emperor Jiajing extremely annoyed, Emperor Jiajing's heart was shaken.

When he thought about it, Luo Xin had been in the old forest for more than a month, even if he couldn't take down the Eighteen Villages, he should take down half of them, right?
He never thought that Luo Xin would fail, this is the prestige that Luo Xin has always played, even Emperor Jiajing is full of blind trust in Luo Xin.
