Mingshi

Chapter 1583
"Not urgent!"

Hu Zongxian said with a smile: "It's not a serious injury to me, you come here quickly, rest for one night, and then go tomorrow."

Looking into Hu Zongxian's wise eyes, Luo Xin gradually calmed down, nodded and said:
"Okay, we're not in a hurry!"

Royal Palace.

Emperor Longqing sat on the chair with his eyes closed, hearing what the little eunuchs reported to Luo Xin at the Meridian Gate, and Feng Bao stood quietly in the corner, looking secretly at Emperor Longqing from time to time.After a while, Emperor Longqing opened his eyes and said:

"Pass to the cabinet ministers."

Soon, Gao Gong, Yan Na, Ma Fang, and Zhang Juzheng stood in front of Emperor Longqing.After Emperor Longqing made them flat, he just looked at them like this, making them very uncomfortable for a while.

They all knew that Emperor Longqing was a kind-hearted person, and he would not let people down in this way, but today Emperor Longqing has a shadow of an emperor.

"No matter how cowardly you are, you are still an emperor!" Gao Gong sighed in his heart. At this time, he felt a little regretful, regretting that he had allowed the Xu Party to murder Luo Xin through Hu Zongxian.

Hu Zongxian's recruitment is good, when the iron case is settled, even if Emperor Longqing wants to protect Luo Xin, he will not be able to protect him.

but……

If it fails, Luo Xin will definitely usher in crazy revenge.Of course, Luo Xin's revenge could not reach him yet.Because he is not the direct operator, the direct operator is Xu Dang, he just hides behind his back and pushes it when he sees the opportunity.So Gao Gong has been very happy.It feels like Luo Xin and Xu Jie are just fighting with each other, no matter who wins, he will not be hurt, and maybe he will benefit from it.

However, at this moment, he understood his biggest mistake.

He will lose the favor of Emperor Longqing!

When the imperial family dominates, such as when he Gao Gong dominates the court, he doesn't care about the emperor.Because he has emptied the emperor.But when the court is above the court and multiple parties compete, the role of the emperor for any party is huge.

Originally, Gao Gong was Emperor Longqing's teacher. Although his status in Emperor Longqing's heart was not as good as Luo Xin's, he was only inferior to Luo Xin.But now, I'm afraid there will be some rift with Emperor Longqing.

"Master Zhang." Emperor Longqing finally spoke, and the tense atmosphere in Qianqing Palace eased: "You are now in charge of the household department. I want to ask you, when the late emperor was here, the military salary allocated to Hu Zongxian was really less than [-]%?"

Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth, and there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

Zhang Juzheng is not an official who just dawdles, but an official with ideals, ambitions, wisdom, and ability.When he was the left servant of the household department, he read the copywriting of the household department once, and he was very clear about the various accounts of the Jiajing Emperor's era.He naturally knew that Luo Xin was telling the truth.But once admitted here, wouldn't this help Hu Zongxian get rid of the crime?At the same time, pushed Wang Tingxiang into the abyss?Let the conspiracy against Luo Xin fail completely?

As long as Luo Xin is still in the cabinet for a day, Zhang Juzheng will never have a bright future.

But at the moment when he hesitated, Ma Fang said: "Your Majesty, I don't know how much military salary Hu Zongxian received. But when I was the Governor of the North, the military salary never exceeded [-]%."

"boom……"

Emperor Longqing felt that his head was about to explode, and his lips trembled a little. He believed in Luo Xin, but he didn't want to believe that the old Zhu's family treated the army like this.What can [-]% of the military salary do?
It was like before he met Luo Xin, he could only eat one-third of his full food every day, and he never wanted to live like that again.He turned his gaze to Ma Fang, panting and asked:

"Then how do you manage the frontier army? Is it the same as Hu Zongxian?"

Ma Fang shook her head and said: "I am not as capable as Hu Zongxian, I can only train a small number of frontier soldiers with limited military pay. Therefore, only tens of thousands of frontier soldiers in the north can fight, and the rest are no different from beggars. So Only the grassland Tartars back then were able to fight Autumn Valley whenever they wanted. Dozens of grassland Tartars could defeat the defeat of the Wanbian Army. The soldiers and civilians at the northern border pass live in dire straits every day.

It is precisely because of this that the prairie tartars have attacked the capital several times, and their troops are approaching the city.

If Master Luo hadn't invented firearms such as landmines, grenades and multiple rocket launchers, I am afraid that the northern border is still in chaos.Maybe the grassland Tartars came to the city again. "

"Say it!" Emperor Longqing looked at Zhang Juzheng angrily.

Zhang Juzheng sighed in his heart, and said softly: "Master Luo is right, the military salary allocated by the imperial court to Hu Zongxian was less than [-]%."

"Okay, very good!" Emperor Longqing said angrily, "Hu Zongxian can be said to be a minister of the Ming Dynasty, but you treat an old minister who doesn't care about personal gains and losses, who doesn't care about personal reputation, and returns home after returning from old age. Doesn't your conscience ache?"

"Your Majesty, please punish me for my negligence." Gao Gong knelt down.

"Is it just an oversight?" Emperor Longqing looked at Gao Gong coldly.

Gao Gong's heart turned, since Luo Xin can't be defeated, let's defeat Xu Dang, this will be beneficial to himself.

"Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't know anything about Hu Zongxian. Since Wang Tingxiang impeached Hu Zongxian, the old minister thought to wait for Hu Zongxian to be escorted to Beijing, and then investigate them one by one. When the time comes, he will report to His Majesty and invite His Majesty to order. Who would have thought that Wang Tingxiang would be rampant?" So, halfway to torture Hu Zongxian."

Emperor Longqing's face showed exhaustion, he suddenly felt very tired, and his heart was also very annoyed, and he didn't have any ideas in his mind at this time, although he was extremely angry in his heart, he didn't know how to deal with it.After a while, he waved his hands weakly and said:
"Go down, I want you to give me a reasonable answer."

Day two.

Luo Xin returned to Beijing, directly sent Wang Tingxiang to Jinyiwei Prison, and then took Hu Zongxian directly to the palace.No eunuch dared to make things difficult for Luo Xin, and Luo Xin took Hu Zongxian to meet Emperor Longqing smoothly.In front of Emperor Longqing, Luo Xin unwrapped the bandages on Hu Zongxian's hands. When Emperor Longqing saw that Hu Zongxian's ten nails were gone, he heard from Luo Xin that they were pulled out by the order of the king. My heart is twitching, and I feel pain in my fingers.

With tears in his eyes, Emperor Longqing comforted Hu Zongxian with gentle words, and finally rewarded Hu Zongxian.Hu Zongxian wept bitterly, and knelt down in front of Emperor Longqing.

Luofu.

Li Shizhen re-bandaged Hu Zongxian, and Luo Xin packed up a small courtyard for Hu Zongxian to let Hu Zongxian recuperate in the mansion.The next day, he went directly to Gao Gong's office.

Sitting opposite Gao Gong, Luo Xin said calmly: "Lord Gao, there is no need for Wang Tingxiang to stay in the court."

Gao Gong was overjoyed, originally he was afraid that Luo Xin would expand the attack area.It would be great if it was only aimed at Wang Tingxiang and did not implicate Gao Dang.

but……

Will Luo Xin stop there?
