Chapter 1472 Gao Gong's Anger

No one came back from the prison, and Hai Rui and the others were not released, as if they had been forgotten.Emperor Jiajing had passed the first seven days, and Hai Rui and the others were like lifeless dead trees.

It's a maple autumn, but the outside is different.

After the first seven days, the busy work is almost done, and the ministers can finally breathe a sigh of relief.They also found a place to rest in the palace.

Luo Xin was also in the palace at this time, so he walked into the east courtyard of Qianqing Palace, where they arranged for a temporary rest.

Luo Xin was also very tired, so he wanted to find a room and sleep first.But at this moment, he heard a voice calling him:

"No weapon!"

Without looking back, he knew it was Gao Gong's voice, and felt a little helpless in his heart, but when he turned around, his expression had returned to respect and said:

"Master Gao."

Gao Gong showed a hint of kindness on his face: "It's been a long time since we met, let's chat."

"it is good!"

Luo Xin followed Gao Gong into a room, and just as he sat down, he saw Ma Fang pushing the door and coming in, Luo Xin got up hastily and said:
"The lower official has seen Mr. Ma."

"No, it's time for birth." Ma Fang hurriedly helped Luo Xin up, Luo Xin smiled faintly, and the three of them sat down.

Gao Gong looked at Luo and said, "It's been hard for you these days."

Luo Xin shook his head and said: "It's not hard. It's not that since the scientific examination entered the officialdom, it's almost impossible to be idle every day. It's right to work hard. However, one's heart has become impetuous. It's rare to be quiet in the prison After more than a month, let myself sort out the things I have done over the years, but I have seen many things."

After Luo Xin said this, the room fell silent.In fact, Gao Gong and Ma Fang felt the same way, not to mention impetuous, but always anxious in their hearts.After a while, Gao Gong sighed, regained his spirit and said:
"No, what do you think of the will?"

Before Luo Xin could speak, Ma Fang sighed and said, "I can't bear it! How could you treat the late emperor like this!"

Luo Xin was silent for a moment and said: "The biggest beneficiary of this edict is Xu Jie, presumably the two lords also know the truth."

"Yes!" Gao Gong raised his eyebrows upside down: "This edict is promulgated to the world, I am afraid that everyone in the world will look at Xu Jie, a forbearing villain, with admiration."

Ma Fang nodded and said: "Those who thought Xu Jie flattered and flattered the emperor in the past will think that he is enduring humiliation in the future."

"Crack!" Gao Gong slapped the table and said, "Those who thought that Xu Jie didn't dare to persuade the emperor and help the emperor's evil government will admire Xu Jie from now on.

"The most important thing is that those who thought he had nothing to do before, and those who had died as a vegetarian, will rekindle their hopes for him. Because of this will, those officials who were previously dismissed by the late emperor, Xu Jie, can be restored in a fair manner, and we It cannot be stopped. These recovered officials are bound to fully support Xu Jie."

Luo Xin said solemnly: "With the support of the recovery officials, Xu Jie's influence and power will reach an invincible level in a very short period of time. When I say invincible, I don't just mean Ministers of the DPRK and China, including His Majesty today."

Gao Gong was so angry that his beard curled up and said, "Xu Jie will be cut!"

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "It's over!"

Gao Gong's face turned red, killing him is such a thing, it's really not good to happen among civil servants, he couldn't help but get angry and said:
"It has already been issued, but it can't be taken back. This is really... If you want to talk about the proposed edict, Mr. Ma and I, as the second assistants of the cabinet, didn't know about it. It's an anecdote in the world. What does Xu Jie think of himself? As a legislator Emperor?"

Luo Xin is silent!

Ma Fang said: "No, tell me, this will cannot be independent. Guess who Xu Jie is looking for?"

"who is it?"

"His student Zhang Juzheng!" Ma Fang said angrily, "What do you think is the difference between this and independence?"

"However, His Majesty and Huang Jinken testified that they were watching Emperor Jiajing's dictation." Gao Gong said quietly from the side: "He, Xu Jie, put all the blame on the late Emperor. What does the world think of the first emperor? And the matter of rebuilding the Yuxi Palace, he was clearly favored by Xu Jie. We all know that the late emperor had no intention of rebuilding the Yuxi Palace at the beginning, but Xu Jie suggested it, and he participated in the whole process. Now they are all buckled on the head of the late emperor, and they have picked themselves clean, is this what the ministers did?"

Ma Fang sighed, her eyes were red: "I can't bear to wait!"

Luo Xin also sighed, but he followed suit. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that if Gao Gong drafted this will again, with Gao Gong's temper, he would scold Emperor Jiajing even more fiercely than Xu Jie.

On the one hand, Gao Gong originally looked down on Emperor Jiajing's actions, but he didn't dare to say it when Emperor Jiajing was alive, but now that Emperor Jiajing is dead, he can't complain.

On the other hand, scolding Emperor Jiajing is obviously a good thing, not only to please the new emperor, but also to increase his aura, and to win the hearts of revived officials.

Will Gao Gong do this?

It's just that Xu Jie took the lead and felt lost.

Moreover, Luo Xin has a clear understanding of Xu Jie, Gao Gong and Ma Fang, it is impossible not to understand them!

He had been in contact with Ma Fang since the imperial examination, and he was the first to know about Ma Fang. Ma Fang was definitely a handsome man with unparalleled military skills, but he was really far behind in politics.

Now that Ma Fang is ambitious, he is afraid that under the attack of Xu Jie and Gao Gong, his head will be broken.Therefore, it is impossible for Luo Xin to stand in Ma Fang's camp, and he can only seek opportunities and form alliances several times.

The understanding of Xu Jie comes from countless battles. As the saying goes, it is not your friends who understand you, but your enemies.That is to say, during the countless fights with Xu Jie, Luo Xin became more and more familiar with Xu Jie.

Xu Jie is a scheming man, kind and forbearing.However, it is precisely because he is scheming and scheming, kind and forbearing, so he is a bit scheming but not good at making decisions.Although there are moments of decisiveness, in general, he is not as good at planning.

As for Gao Gong's understanding, it comes from several alliances with Gao Gong. Gao Gong's weakness is also very obvious, that is, he is not strong enough.This is very critical for a person who joins the cabinet.

And Gao Gong's lack of courage determined that Luo Xin could not stand in Gao Gong's camp, and could only choose to ally with him.

However, Luo Xin's weakness is also very obvious!
too young!
Not bad!

In the officialdom, youth is a weakness. Because you are young, your time in the officialdom is short. Even if you are capable, you don't have time to cultivate your own strength.

Luo Xin is like this at the moment, although Qin Shuang has cultivated a lot of strength in the local area, but he is far from being unique in the capital, competing with Gao Gong and Xu Jie.Of course, Ma Fang's strength in the capital is actually not as good as Luo Xin.But Ma Fang occupied the position in the cabinet, which is inherently stronger than Luo Xin.
