Chapter 1391 The Imperial Decree Is Lost
These patriarchs wait here for the person who will teach them how to make wine.

Luo Xin sent Lu Daqing back to the capital in advance. After reading Luo Xin's letter, Luo Xin's mother immediately sent a team of more than 20 people to follow Lu Daqing back to Jiangxi.

That is, on the sixth day after Luo Xin returned to the camp outside the mountain, Lu Daqing brought those people back in a hurry. Luo Xin felt relieved when he saw Butler Lu Yuan.

Luo Xin handed over all the cooperation with Shanmin to Lu Yuan, and he just drank and chatted with Hu Zongxian every day.Both of them were also waiting for news from Guangdong. When Luo Xin came to Jiangxi, he sent someone to inform Guangdong that all he needed to do was to encircle the mountains. Don't let the White Lotus Sect members escape, and waited for him to pacify this side. Zhang Daoyuan will go to pacify the White Lotus Sect.

This time, instead of waiting for good news, we waited for bad news.

The White Lotus Sect suddenly split up dozens of teams and came down the mountain from different directions.This is not in the old forest, but at the foot of the mountain. The officers and soldiers showed their strength and annihilated 23 teams of the White Lotus Sect to break through, but in the end, three teams succeeded in breaking through, and after breaking through, they immediately fell into pieces and disappeared. without a trace.

And the leader of the White Lotus Sect is one of these three teams.

Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian sat facing each other, their faces were numb. After a while, Hu Zongxian sighed and said:

"This time we're in big trouble!"

"That's right!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "However, fortunately, if Zhang Daoyuan was killed, His Majesty won't be too responsible, right?"

"That's you!" Hu Zongxian shook his head and said, "Of course you have no faults. As soon as you came to Jiangxi, you uprooted Zhang Daoyuan. You also have no skills at all. The White Lotus Sect's breakout has nothing to do with you at all." But it has something to do with me!
This time I am more than lucky! "

"Not necessarily!" Qin Shuang shook her head and said, "Before I was impeached by those officials in the capital, didn't His Majesty send Li Zhendao to announce the decree? And the two of us... here control the southern army. Your Majesty may not be without fear, and the cabinet may not be without it." Afraid. Forget it, let's talk about the breakout of the White Lotus Sect now."

Beijing.

Royal study.

Emperor Jiajing, Gao Gong and Xu Jie were all there.

Emperor Jiajing looked at the memorials in his hand, there were several memorials on the imperial book case, he was reading the memorials of Luo Xin in his hand, and there were memorials of Hu Zongxian, Jin Yiwei and Li Zhendao on the table.

"waste!"

Emperor Jiajing couldn't help cursing, Gao Gong and Xu Jie's faces turned dark.

The memorials of Luo Xin and Jin Yiwei were sent directly to the palace and placed in front of Emperor Jiajing.However, the memorials of Hu Zongxian and Li Zhendao had to be sent to the cabinet first.When Gao Gong and Xu Jie saw the memorial of Hu Zongxian and Li Zhendao, their noses were almost crooked by Li Zhendao, who asked you to declare the decree, but you were arrested by the rebels and lost the imperial decree
It's a fucking capital offense, you know?

However, the two of them also knew that this matter could not be concealed at all, so they had to take these two memorials to see Emperor Jiajing.After reading several memorials, Emperor Jiajing threw Li Zhendao's last memorial on the table with a snap, and said angrily:
"You bastard, how dare you argue to yourself, saying that Hu Zongxian sent him fewer soldiers, and fifty soldiers are still less? You are only asked to declare the decree, so why not give you a hundred thousand troops?"

"Your Majesty!" Xu Jie said, "Both Hu Zongxian and Li Zhendao said that the person who captured Li Zhendao was Zhang Daoyuan, and those three were masters among rebels. Fifty soldiers couldn't stop the three of them. It is understandable that Zhendao was caught, and he was loyal and did not surrender to the rebels."

"But he lost the imperial decree and delayed the military opportunity to let Luo Xin withdraw his troops." Emperor Jiajing said coldly.

To be honest, he didn't want Luo Xin to withdraw his troops, and he has been dragging on for Luo Xin, but the pressure from the officials was getting bigger and bigger, so he had to compromise in the end.

but……

Well now, I made the decree, but the person you chose to announce the decree was arrested.What a huh.

Gao Gong and Xu Jie also had a headache. The original plan of the two was that Li Zhendao would find Luo Xin to announce the decree. According to their research on Luo Xin, Luo Xin would definitely not accept the decree, and would be different because of the orders of the generals. Resisted.

Then, it's easy.

Luo Xin committed a major crime, cruelty, killing innocent mountain people.

Luo Xin's two major crimes are resisting the order and not obeying it.

This was enough for Luo Xin. Even if Emperor Jiajing didn't want to hold Luo Xin accountable, he had to hold him accountable, and the least was to become a commoner.

As long as Luo Xin has no official position, it will be much easier for Xu Jie to play with Luo Xin.

but……

Li Zhendao actually lost the edict...

Lost the decree...

lost……

There is no more resistance and disobedience!
Cruelty alone, killing innocent mountain people, doesn't seem to be enough!Because the public opinion of the people in the entire capital is different from that of the official circles. The official circles are impeaching Luo Xin for being cruel and killing innocent mountain people, but the people are spreading the rumors about the brutality of the mountain people and Luo Xin's anti-violence and peace.

What should I do?
Xu Jie thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, Li Zhendao is guilty. He lost the imperial decree and failed to stop Luo Xin from killing innocent mountain people..."

"You'd better look at this first!"

Emperor Jiajing pointed to a stack of papers on the Yushu table, and Huang Jin stepped forward to pick up the stack of papers and handed them to Xu Jie.Xu Jie took the stack of papers, and looked at it together with Gao Gong, the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became.

What is that stack of papers?
It is the book of Wanmin written by the mountain people. It first denounces the brutality of the eighteen villages and their oppression, and there are many facts.Afterwards, he praised the army led by Luo Xin for eradicating violence and peace, besieging the Eighteen Villages and the rebel Zhang Daoyuan, and treating them well, making them feel the warmth of the imperial court, His Majesty's wisdom and martial arts, etc.

Then there are countless signatures and handprints...

Gao Gong and Xu Jie's faces turned green...

What the hell, Luo Xin is called the Buddha of the Ten Thousand Families by these mountain people.

So what are they?
Luo Xin eradicates tyranny and brings peace, ten thousand families live in Buddha, but they are impeaching Luo Xin. Are they the accomplices of the rebels, or are they stupid?

Jiangxi.

After listening to Lu Yuan's report, Luo Xin nodded and said, "The meeting will be held tomorrow."

Lu Yuan nodded and sent the news to the chiefs of the various tribes.

Day two.

The meeting was held on time, and now Luo Xin has established an unbreakable prestige in the hearts of the mountain people, and every tribe chief has great trust in Luo Xin.

Needless to say?
Luo Xin lent them food, salt and other supplies. Is there anything more trustworthy than this?

Luo Xin picked up his wine glass and said, "Everyone, I wish the cooperation a success, and the tribes will not be cold or hungry from now on."
