Chapter 1551 Luo Xin's Counterattack

Knowing that this was his best chance, Xu Jie chased away Gao Gong, cut off Luo Xin's arm, and beat Zhang Juzheng.As for offending Emperor Longqing, he had offended him a long time ago.He also knew in his heart that after this incident, he and Emperor Longqing had completely turned their faces, but he didn't care.From the day he betrayed Emperor Longqing, the two of them turned their heads.If he hadn't started to make arrangements before Emperor Jiajing died, he might have been kicked out of the officialdom by Emperor Longqing at this time. It was his arrangement that forced Emperor Longqing to hold his nose and tolerate him.What he has to do in the future is to evade Emperor Longqing.

Of course, in doing so, he also pushed himself to the cliff.If Gao Gong is unsuccessfully kicked out this time, Luo Xin can be kicked out of the cabinet after a little work, and Zhang Juzheng will be beaten honestly at the same time, so that Zhang Juzheng will know that Xu Jie is really powerful, and he will follow him wholeheartedly, not daring to do it again. Have other thoughts.In this way, it is not a problem to evade Emperor Longqing. In the future, the position of chief minister of the cabinet will be passed on to Zhang Juzheng, who is already honest, and he can retire with peace of mind.

Otherwise, his reputation would be ruined and he would be kicked out of the cabinet by Gao Gong, and his fate could be imagined.

But he is confident that he can win the final victory, because he is sure that there is no solution to the problem of money shortage. As long as the problem of money shortage is not solved, a whip cannot be implemented. .

So, he is sitting there with a silent mind now.As the chief assistant of the cabinet, I can't go into battle shirtless. It's the younger brothers of my subordinates who go into battle to impeach Gao Gong.Even if Emperor Longqing recalled him to the cabinet for a meeting this time, as long as Emperor Longqing didn't drive Gao Gong out of the cabinet, he would still be a gourd. Let's see how long Emperor Longqing can hold on?
Pointing at that good old man and idiot Yan Na, wanting to lead the cabinet?
Are you kidding me?
For this reason, Xu Jie didn't even talk about Luo Xin's transfer of officialdom in the south. Luo Xin took advantage of this time to go to the south to restart the Shibo Department, and moved Zhou Yu to the prefect of Hangzhou to concurrently serve as the Shibo Department's promotion, and took control of the Shibo Department.However, Xu Jie didn't care, when Gao Gong and Luo Xin were driven away, Zhou Yu was nothing more than a small person.

Therefore, while Emperor Longqing was chattering, Xu Jie and Gao Gong kept their mouths tightly shut, and no one spoke to him, which made Emperor Longqing gradually become embarrassed.

In the end, Emperor Longqing said with a gloomy face: "Xu Qing, Master Gao, I don't want to see your mutual impeachment memorial."

Gao Gong glanced at Xu Jie, and Xu Jie just raised his head to look at Gao Gong, the eyes of the two collided in the air, Xu Jie smiled coldly, stood up and saluted Emperor Longqing and spoke.

"Your Majesty, those officials' impeachment of Gao Gong is also wrong to the matter. It is really a whip that is not suitable for Daming. It is a chaotic government that has caused troubles for Daming. Now it has caused people to live in trouble. Please also issue an order to abolish the whip and let Daming go again. On track."

"Ridiculous!" Gao Gong stood up angrily.

"Absurd?" Xu Jie said indifferently: "Money shortage is the appearance of disaster caused by a whip. Without a whip, where would there be money shortage? If there is no money shortage, where would there be conflict? As the second assistant of the cabinet, don't you know how much money there is? Conflicts have already appeared in the land? If this continues, it will cause civil uprisings, and then there will be wars everywhere. Now that Ming Dynasty has internal and external troubles, do you want Daming's internal troubles to come more violently?"

"Your Majesty!" Xu Jie faced Emperor Longqing again, and said aggressively, "Please also abolish the whip, severely punish Gao Gong, and give an explanation to the people of the world."

Emperor Longqing's face turned pale involuntarily, and he involuntarily looked at Luo Xin.This was his habit, ever since Luo Xin became his teacher, whenever he had a problem he couldn't solve, he would instinctively go to Luo Xin.

No matter how stupid he is, he also knows in his heart that once a whip is abolished, he must find a scapegoat, which is the case in too many cases in history.As for this matter of whipping, Gao Gong is the only one who can take the blame. It is inevitable for Gao Gong to leave the cabinet. Even Luo Xin will be punished. Even if Luo Xin is not kicked out of the cabinet, the Xu party will focus on impeachment Luo Xin, I'm afraid Luo Xin will end up in the same fate as Zhang Juzheng, unable to govern for three years.

Gao Gong left the cabinet, and Luo Xin ignored the government for three years. During these three years, he, Emperor Longqing, was really dismissed.

"His Majesty!"

Luo Xin had no choice but to speak, he still wanted to maintain the situation where both Xu Jie and Gao Gong were in the cabinet as much as possible, so that he would have a chance to grow stronger in the rivalry between the two tigers.Therefore, if you can procrastinate, procrastinate for a longer period of time. Maybe if you procrastinate for a long time, opportunities will appear.

"Now that the foreign aggression has not been eliminated, it is not appropriate to go to war in domestic affairs. What we have to do now is not to discuss a whip. To be honest..."

Speaking of this, Luo Xin glanced at Xu Jie indifferently, and then continued:
"I am very disappointed with the officials in the capital. Originally, I thought that if I went to the south, I would not hesitate to go to sea in person and go to the meeting alone. The officials would definitely be inspired. They would definitely work together to find a way to solve the northern problem while I was solving the southern problem. .

You know, the north is the real threat to our Ming Dynasty.Whether it is Alatan Khan or Huangtaiji, they have all attacked our capital.How many years have passed?Have you all forgotten?
However, what the minister did not expect at all was that none of the officials were thinking about how to solve the northern issue, and they were all impeaching.Impeach Lord Xu, impeach Lord Gao, impeach Lord Yan, impeach Lord Ma, impeach ministers, and impeach Lord Zhang.

What is this for?
Impeach the entire cabinet?

Did they want the entire Ming Dynasty without a cabinet?
Do you want Daming to have a complete civil strife?

Are they traitors from the northern grasslands?Is it for the northern grasslands? "

"Teng!"

Both Xu Jie and Gao Gong blushed, Luo Xin's words were too sharp.And there is no way to refute it. Luo Xin went to the south, so you should think about the north in the capital.Look what you have done?
"So, I feel that the problem that needs to be solved most now is the northern issue. As for the whip, let's let it go first. Or while solving the northern issue, we may be able to come up with a solution to the whip issue."

"That's right!" Emperor Longqing looked at Luo Dao expectantly, "North has to trouble Master Luo."

"This..." Luo Xin said with a hesitant expression: "With the chief assistant here, besides, I have solved the problem in the south, and the north should also be solved by the chief assistant."

Xu Jie's heart was beating violently. It was not that he was afraid of going to the grassland and being killed by the grassland people.Because such a thing will not happen, the grassland will not gain any benefits if he kills him.What he was afraid of was that his mission to the northern grassland would produce two results.
