Chapter 1568 Longqing's sense of security
Luo Xin looked at Feng Bao and said, "Eunuch Feng, do you really want to go the way of Wang Zhen, Wang Zhi and Liu Jin?"

Feng Bao was sweating through his clothes, he didn't want to die, he didn't want to die like Wang Zhen, Wang Zhi and Liu Jin.And think about it at this time, if you really let yourself go on like this, you will really die.

Luo Xin looked at Emperor Longqing again and said, "Your Majesty still remembers the change in the civil castle?"

Emperor Longqing's expression changed. The Civil Fortress was too close to him, and it had always been a shame to Ming Dynasty.At this moment, Emperor Longqing was really scared.The expression on his face changed for a long time, and finally he said with some frustration:

"Master Luo, are you saying that I listen and believe?"

Luo Xin nodded and said: "Your Majesty recently closed the connection with the outer court on his own initiative, and he resisted hearing the voice from the outer court."

"But..." Emperor Longqing's face suddenly flushed and said: "You have also seen how they bullied me. It is said that the emperor is arbitrary, but when it is my turn, it is not at all. In the court , They were all eloquent, eloquent, and even abused me, completely ignoring me.

I don't understand politics, but I can't just open my mouth, and no matter what I say is right or wrong, I can't criticize me by citing scriptures.

Does this still look like a courtier? "

Emperor Longqing became angrier as he spoke, and stood up. It seemed that he had held back for a long time, and no one listened to him. Now that Luo Xin was caught, he was another person he trusted, so he poured out all the words in his heart. '

"Then I don't talk, I don't go to court, that's okay, right?

But, look at how those so-called courtiers did it?

They have accused me of being greedy for pleasure and wanton, and if things go on like this, I will definitely lose power.

Daming has never had such a wimpy emperor like me, I am the emperor, if I want to buy some jewelry for my concubine, how much can it cost?But what about those so-called courtiers?
Nothing was pulled out, and the Ministry of Household Affairs did not give me a cent.And also accused me of wasting.He even impeached me.

Do they think I don't know their virtues?

One by one was corrupt and accepted bribes, stretching out their hands, but they wanted me to be a person with a pure heart and few desires.Don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself. Have they read the sage books in vain? "

"If Master Luo hadn't solved the Shibo Department and the Mutual Market, and made some money in the internal funds, I still don't have the money to buy a little jewelry for the concubines.

Now that I have some money in my internal funds, I want to go to the suburbs of Beijing to relax.They used safety as an excuse to not let me go out of the palace.

What are they trying to do?
Do you treat me like a pig?

What's even more exaggerated is that these people even brought up the private affairs of the imperial palace and discussed them openly. Is this something they can discuss at will?
To ignore state affairs, but to manage the private affairs of the royal palace, how low is morality? "

Luo Xin was silent, in fact, he also knew in his heart that those officials were really too much.Under the strong suppression of Emperor Jiajing, they have been depressed for too long, and now they vent all their brains on Emperor Longqing.Especially at the beginning, Xu Jie drove Gao Gong out of the cabinet in order to attack Gao Gong, and indulged the officials.In order to fight back against Xu Jie, Gao Gong also indulged the officials, and there was no lower limit for the two parties to impeach each other.The most frightening thing is that once this person has no lower limit, he will go farther and farther on the road of no lower limit.

Now Xu Jie has been kicked out of the cabinet, but Luo Xin and Gao Gong haven't really broken their faces, and both sides are still restraining.Those speech officials couldn't find an outlet to vent their anger, so they aimed their guns at Emperor Longqing, who had a generous and cowardly personality.

In the final analysis, Emperor Longqing was forced to indulge the eunuchs even if he couldn't slap him.

Luo Xin listened silently to Emperor Longqing's complaints, and he knew that he had to let Emperor Longqing express his complaints, otherwise holding back would make Emperor Longqing go to another extreme.After Emperor Longqing finished venting and sat there panting, Luo Xin said softly:
"It is true that there are some officials who have lost their scholarly morals. They are dishonest and grandstanding. For such people, they must be punished. However, your Majesty, you can't be blinded by one leaf. Not all officials in the court are like this. And the officials Existence was set up by Taizu Guangdi. In class, he can admonish the emperor, pick up officials, and inspect local officials and military administration. Therefore, from major state affairs to small civil affairs, they are all within the scope of supervision of officials.

They can even hear about it without being held accountable.Taizu did this for the sake of future generations.

Therefore, the emperors of all dynasties would have a tolerant heart for the words played by the officials.

Your Majesty may or may not agree with the speech officer's letter, but he must not read or listen to it.

His Majesty's understanding of the speech officer is somewhat one-sided, it is just a window for His Majesty to expand his sight and hearing, so that His Majesty will not stay in the palace and become a blind man.Whether you agree or not is up to His Majesty. "

Emperor Longqing was thoughtful, Luo Xin was not in a hurry, he picked up the teacup, drank tea slowly, and waited for Emperor Longqing to search by himself.

After a long time, Emperor Longqing stretched his eyebrows and said in a hoarse voice:

"I was indeed wrong."

"The officials are more wrong." Luo Xin said seriously: "The essence of the present officials is much worse than that of the Taizu. In order to please, there is no lower limit, and it is time to purify the majesty of the speaker."

When Emperor Longqing heard the words, he suddenly felt a confidant, but then he remembered what happened today, so he looked at Luo Dao:
"What about this matter today?"

Luo Xin said without the slightest hesitation: "If you hit him, you will hit him. The emperor's majesty is serious. Let him be demoted for the crime of despising the emperor."

"it is good!"

Emperor Longqing was overjoyed, and felt from the bottom of his heart that Luo Xin was still facing him and was his reliance.He immediately opened his mouth and said:

"What about the matter of supervising the army? There are indeed middle-ranking officials supervising the army in the Canon."

Luo understood in confidence that, not to mention Emperor Longqing, no emperor would give up his military power. This would make an emperor feel insecure.It simply won't work if the eunuchs are not allowed to supervise the army.There are also political commissars in the army of later generations.

The civil servants are called foreign ministers, and they are the objects that the emperor should beware of.The emperor still trusted the eunuchs, because the eunuchs were the emperor's domestic slaves.

Household slaves, that is, family members, own people.

"It's not impossible, but it needs to be restricted." Luo Xin looked at Emperor Longqing and said sincerely: "Your Majesty sent eunuchs to supervise the army. The purpose is to supervise the generals so that they will not mess around."

"Yes!" Emperor Longqing nodded.Only when the military commander's every move is in his own hands can he feel safe.

"However, has Your Majesty ever thought that if eunuchs become bigger in the army, they will also mess around?"

Emperor Longqing's expression turned serious and he said, "Like Wang Zhen?"
