Mingshi

Chapter 1446
Hai Rui was stunned when he heard this, he never thought that his attack on the Holy Majesty would bring about such serious consequences.

Although he knew in his heart that Luo Xin was a bit exaggerated, but he also knew that Luo Xin was not chasing rumors, such things would happen more or less.And if this panic is allowed to continue, it will go downhill and become uncontrollable.

Sighing, Hai Rui said, "Master Luo, I don't want to either... Is there anything I can do to help?"

Luo was overjoyed in his heart, could it be that this stubborn guy has softened?

"Admit your mistake, Shangzuo! After admitting your mistake, I will suggest to His Majesty to release you as the magistrate, so that you can also do some practical things."

Hai Rui closed his eyes, and the room fell silent. Everyone looked at Hai Rui nervously.About ten breaths later, it can be seen that the struggle in Hai Rui's heart was also very fierce, but in the end he opened his eyes, shook his head and said:
"I have nothing to say!"

Luo Xin was also a little angry, and said, "Hai Rui, do you know the original intention of those officials to perform with you?"

Hai Rui nodded calmly and said, "Of course I know."

"Know?" Luo Xin looked at Hai Rui and sighed, "Then you are still willing to be used by those people?"

Hai Rui said dumbly: "They are using me, so why am I not using them?"

Luo Xin really has nothing to say.Resignedly waving his hand, Hai Rui was taken down.Luo Xin sat there speechless, for a while, the eunuch said:

"Lord Luo?"

Luo Xin sighed and said, "Bring the next one."

"Bring who?"

"Whatever, come one by one."

"Yes!"

Luo Xin didn't close his eyes all day and night, and met 53 people, but none of the 53 people was willing to admit their mistakes.Luo Xin was not disappointed at all, he knew it must be so, these officials were able to persist in not running away under Jin Yiwei's whip, their determination and perseverance were not the same as those officials who fled.

However, Luo Xin believes that as time goes by, some people will not be able to bear it and will admit their mistakes on the table.Once you have someone to start with, everything becomes relatively easy.

Anyway, Luo Xin had already made preparations for a long-term battle, and if he could delay it, he would delay it until Emperor Jiajing died, and there would be no need for trial.

"Go back!" Luo Xin stood up.

The eunuch also stood up helplessly, and while walking back, he said, "Are we going to face the saint?"

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "I didn't gain anything at all. What's the matter with you? If you want, you can report it to His Majesty first. If His Majesty has any orders, you can inform me. After a whole night of trial, I'll go back and sort out my thoughts." , and the trial will continue tomorrow."

"Alright!" The eunuch hesitated for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Actually, you don't have to worry. Every official was very arrogant when he first entered the prison. Look again in a few days, and they all changed." Turned into tears and snot."

Although Luo Xin disliked those officials who blocked the door at gatherings at every turn, and this time the officials blocked the door with bad intentions. On the surface, they were criticizing Emperor Jiajing for the sake of Ming Dynasty.In fact, it is still for salary.However, this does not mean that he is willing to listen to the humiliation of officials by the eunuch.With a gloomy face and no words, he broke up with the eunuch and walked towards the palace gate.

Back in the mansion, Zhang Xun and others were still staying in the Luo mansion. When they saw Luo Xin coming back, they asked one by one:

"How about it?"

Luo Xin sat down wearily, took a sip of the tea brought by Zhang Xun, and then briefly explained the matter.Zhang Xun thought for a while and said:

"Now there is only one way to procrastinate."

Luo Xin said with a wry smile: "The Holy Majesty was originally moody, but now that he is old, it has become even worse. Who knows what His Majesty will do if this drags on?"

"Then... what to do?"

"I can only walk one step, watch one step." Luo Xin stood up and said: "You should go back, so that the family members don't worry, and I'm tired too. Rest for a night, and I have to go to the prison tomorrow. No matter how those officials behave , I have to make an appearance so that His Majesty won't see that I'm dragging you."

"Then... let's take our leave first."

"I won't send you."

"No, you should rest quickly. Maybe at some point, His Majesty will announce you into the palace again."

"I hope you're not right!" Luo Xin rolled his eyes.

"Hehe..." Everyone laughed as they walked outside.

Day two.

Luo Xin went to the prison again, starting from Hai Rui again, persuading him from the beginning to the end, but still no one would admit his mistake, but from the state of these officials, it can be seen that they were a lot weaker and lost their former arrogance and harmony. indignation.

Taking the last official down, Luo Xin looked at the eunuch and said:

"I see those officials are sluggish, but why?"

"Hehe..." The big eunuch laughed sharply and said, "If you haven't eaten, you're naturally depressed. They really think that being in prison is the same as being at home?"

"Don't give them food?" Luo Xin's face changed: "If one person dies of starvation, who will bear the responsibility?"

"I won't starve to death." The eunuch waved his hand and said, "Lord Luo, you have no experience in this field. Every official enters the prison, it is like this. First starve for three days, and then give them half a bowl of gruel every day." .”

Luo Xin was silent, in the dark and humid place of the Sky Prison, if he drank half a bowl of porridge a day, he would hang his life.For these officials who have not suffered, it will really kill them after a long time.

However, Luo Xin also knew that he was powerless to change this kind of rules, and under such circumstances, those officials would give in faster.After all, Luo Xin's procrastination is not a solution. If no one admits his mistake for a long time, Emperor Jiajing will definitely be furious.At that time, it was not impossible for the enraged and confused Emperor Jiajing to kill all 53 officials in Hai Rui.

Then there will really be a big mess!
"That's it, let's continue tomorrow." Luo Xin stood up.

The eunuch also packed up his things, and the two walked towards the outside of the prison.Luo Xin said softly:

"What did His Majesty say yesterday?"

"Your Majesty read the transcript yesterday, but he didn't say anything. He just asked our family to cooperate with you."

Luo Xin breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Emperor Jiajing was not furious, but if the delay was too long, Emperor Jiajing would still be furious in the end.I hope that before Emperor Jiajing is furious, an official can admit his mistake.

As long as one official admits his mistake, it will be like opening a damper for Emperor Jiajing, which will dissipate the accumulated anger of Emperor Jiajing, and will also raise hope in Emperor Jiajing's heart, so Luo Xin can continue to procrastinate.

Luo Xin returned to the mansion, and saw Zhang Xun and others waiting in his mansion again.Dai'er also prepared dinner, Luo Xin washed up, and while eating with Zhang Xun and others, briefly talked about today's affairs, and then asked:

"How about the officials?"
