Chapter 1579 Meridian Gate Confrontation
Is that courting death?
However, they quickly sent the news of Luo Xin's entry into the palace to Feng Bao.At the same time, the news of Luo Xin's return also spread to the cabinet Gao Gong, and then all the officials knew about it, and all eyes were on the palace.

Qianqing Palace.

Luo Xin saw Feng Bao who was waiting at the door from afar. When Feng Bao saw Luo Xin, he greeted him with a smile. Since Luo Xin ordered him last time, he really spent his energy on studying Huang Jin. The more he studied, The more I am in awe of Luo Xin, the smile on my face is a little flattering.

"Lord Luo is here."

Luo Xin paused, looked at Feng Bao, saw Luo Xin's sharp eyes, Feng Bao's embarrassed smile froze, Luo Xin eased his expression, sighed and said:

"Eunuch Feng, why are you here!"

Feng Bao showed grievances on his face and said: "Master Luo, they bully people!"

"Then you can't beat them up, you lose your dignity. Such isolation from inside and outside is the result you want. And...you have been with His Majesty since you were a child, so you should know His Majesty's temper. If one day you can't protect you , think about Liu Jin."

Feng Bao's face turned pale, why did Liu Jin die?
He was beaten to death by civil officials!

"Lord Luo, I, I... I..."

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Let's put this matter aside, I have more important things to do today."

After the words fell, Luo Xin took big steps and walked into the Qianqing Palace.

Before he could meet Emperor Longqing, Emperor Longqing hurried forward, grabbed Luo Xin's hand and said:
"Master Luo, you're here!" As he spoke, his eyes turned red.

Luo Xin patted the back of Emperor Longqing's hand and said, "Your Majesty, it's fine."

"Master Luo, you have to help me, they...are bullying me too much."

Luo Xin gave Feng Bao a look, and Feng Bao drove out the eunuchs in Qianqing Palace, then closed the gate, smiled at Luo Xin, but Luo Xin didn't drive him out, and helped Emperor Longqing to sit down, then He also sat down, smiled wryly and said:
"Your Majesty, I really want to help you, but now I can't protect myself."

"What?" Emperor Longqing panicked, Luo Xin only went to Xiangshan for more than ten days, and so many things happened, if Luo Xin left the court, Emperor Longqing would not even dare to think about his future.

"Master Luo, what's wrong?"

"Is it His Majesty's will to arrest Hu Zongxian?"

"En!" Emperor Longqing nodded and said, "What? But there is a problem?"

"Hu Zongxian has retired and returned to his hometown, why did you arrest him, Your Majesty?"

"It's those who wrote that Hu Zongxian is a big corrupt official..."

Luo Xin understood that what Emperor Longqing thought was that Hu Zongxian was a corrupt official, and if he was arrested, he would be able to steal a lot of money from his home.Can't help shaking his head and sighing, Emperor Longqing really lost money.

"His Majesty……"

"You don't need to say it, but you don't agree to arrest Hu Zongxian?" Emperor Longqing asked.

"Yes!"

"But because Hu Zongxian is not a corrupt official, he was framed?"

"No, Hu Zongxian is a corrupt official, and a big corrupt official at that, but he didn't leave a single coin for the money he was greedy for. I was in the south at that time, and I'll tell His Majesty..."

"Master Luo!" Emperor Longqing interrupted Luo Xin and said, "I can't understand what you said. Since you disagree, I will issue a special decree to pardon Hu Zongxian, but the real decree may not be effective now."

"Your Majesty, your imperial decree can be used at any time, because this is the world of Ming Dynasty." Luo Xin said seriously: "However, I will tell you about Hu Zongxian's question."

Half an hour later, Luo Xin left the Qianqing Palace with the imperial decree. Before he could walk out of the Meridian Gate, he saw a crowd of officials standing outside the Meridian Gate. Seeing Luo Xin walk out of the Meridian Gate, Zhao Zhenji, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, greeted him with eyes Scanning the imperial decree held in Luo Xin's arms, he looked at Luo Dao:

"Master Luo, may I ask what imperial decree you are asking for?"

"Naturally, it is the imperial decree to pardon Hu Zongxian." Luo Xin looked at Zhao Zhenji indifferently.

"boom……"

Hundreds of civil servants suddenly made a noise.They accused Luo Xin one after another, and Zhao Zhenji waved his hand, and everyone fell silent. Zhao Zhenji stared at Luo Xin angrily:
"Master Luo, are you holding an imperial decree in your arms?"

Luo Xin rolled his eyes: "It's so obvious, you can't see clearly?"

Zhao Zhenji's face froze, and a trace of anger appeared in his eyes.Although Luo Xin is the second assistant of the cabinet, he is much older than Luo Xin, so he doesn't feel that he should respect Luo Xin more, but thinks that Luo Xin should respect him.At the moment, I am no longer polite, and directly call Luo Xin's name:

"Luo Xin, are you asking for an amnesty decree for Hu Zongxian?"

"Not bad!" Luo Xin nodded lightly.

The expressions of all the officials were furious, and Zhao Zhenji shouted even more sharply: "Luo Xin, thinking back then, there were many famines and wars in the world, the court's finances were scarce, the country was in dire straits, and the people were in dire straits. Saved money and used it to fight against the Japanese. But Hu Zongxian extorted money, embezzled and accepted bribes, embezzled military salaries, squandered people's fat and anointing, and was called the Governor Yinshan by the world. He even colluded with Yan Song and his son, and gave Yan Song countless gold and silver treasures every year. Such a person is a national thief If you don’t kill him, it’s hard to quell the hatred of the country, but you ask for an amnesty for Hu Zongxian, what are you so worried about? Could it be that you have been in the same boat with Hu Zongxian for a long time?”

Zhao Zhenji's voice echoed in the sky outside the Meridian Gate, deafening, making the expressions of all the officials behind him flushed red, full of excitement, as if Luo Xin was about to be taken down at this very moment.

Luo Xin looked at Zhao Zhenji coldly, without saying a word.

As the saying goes, a slap does not make a sound, when Luo Xin looked at each other coldly without saying a word, it was okay at first, but as time passed, Zhao Zhenji and the officials behind him gradually became quiet.They were quiet, but Luo Xin burst into loud laughter.

"Hahaha……"

More and more officials gathered outside the Meridian Gate, and some eunuchs gradually gathered inside the Meridian Gate. From time to time, some eunuchs ran around to report what happened at the Meridian Gate to Emperor Longqing in a timely manner.

Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Longqing walked back and forth anxiously. He heard all the officials blocking Luo Xin and Zhao Zhenji cursing Luo Xin.

At this time, outside the Meridian Gate, Gao Gong, Yan Na, Ma Fang and Zhang Juzheng also walked slowly, stood behind Baiguan, and looked towards Luo Xin.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhao Zhenji snapped.

"What am I laughing at?" Luo Xin said without concealing his sarcasm|: "Thinking back then, the world was full of famines, what did you do? Wars continued, what did you do? You donated a copper coin, you But have you ever killed a Japanese pirate in battle? What have you done for Daming other than a vegetarian meal? Are you also worthy of talking about the common people in the world?

"You..." Zhao Zhenji was so angry that his beard was raised.
