Sitting there thinking for a while, he shook his head and stopped thinking about King Yu's hard life.Thinking about going to the household department tomorrow, I couldn't help but sighed.

Day two.

Luo Xin continued to run to the household department, and then went to Yuwang Mansion every three days.In today's Ming Dynasty, there may be someone who is more knowledgeable than Luo Xin in a certain aspect, but if compared to his broad knowledge, no one can match him.Every time he gets along with King Yu, Luo Xin will tell King Yu a lot of knowledge, and most of them are explained in the form of stories, which makes King Yu very interested and inspired, which makes the relationship between King Yu and Luo Xin more and more serious. deep.

this day.

Luo Xin came back from the household department and reported to Xu Jie as usual.Shuttle in the cabinet, all the people in the cabinet looked at Luo Xin with pity.Luo also knew in confidence that today was the last day that Xu Jie gave him a one-month limit, and today was probably the time when Xu Jie gave him a bad look.

Seeing the pitiful eyes looking at him one by one, Luo Xin smiled wryly, but his expression was still calm, without the slightest bit of frustration, and he came all the way to Xu Jie's yamen room, and walked in after the notification.Xu Jie looked at Luo Xin without saying a word, and Luo Xin also looked at Xu Jie without flinching.The relationship between the two has been torn apart, and Luo Xin doesn't need to pretend to be a grandson, as long as he maintains basic etiquette.

Seeing Luo Xin's calm expression, Xu Jie couldn't help feeling a bit of anger gradually in his heart, and said lightly:

"Your Majesty wants to return the money for repairing the palace?"

Luo Xin said lightly: "No."

A hint of sneer emerged from the corner of Xu Jie's mouth: "Your Majesty asked about this time yesterday, so you can follow the old man to explain to His Majesty in person."

After the words fell, Xu Jie stood up and walked towards the door.Luo Xin also followed behind without saying a word, just thinking quickly in his heart while walking.

When Emperor Jiajing saw him last time, he didn't seem to pay much attention to the repair of the palace. Why did he suddenly care about this matter now?
"Could it be that Xu Jie gave himself eye drops in front of Emperor Jiajing again?"

Just following Xu Jie to the imperial study, Luo Xin saw Emperor Jiajing's gloomy face, and his heart sank.

"Chen, Xu Jie!"

"Chen, Luo Xin!"

"Meet Your Majesty, long live long live long live!"

"Exemption!" Emperor Jiajing's voice sounded coldly, and after the two got up, Emperor Jiajing looked at Xu Jie coldly and said:

"Xu Qing, it has been three months since all the officials have paid their full salary. How do you become the chief assistant of the cabinet?"

"My minister is guilty!"

Xu Jie knelt down blushing.At this time, he admired Yan Song in his heart. At least when Yan Song was in the cabinet, the salaries of all the officials could still be paid out. Now in the court, Xu Jie began to have a bad reputation.It is said that Xu Jie is also a corrupt official. His family has hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, but his ability is not as good as that of Yan Song. He only cares about his enjoyment and completely ignores all officials.

What is the purpose of being an official for thousands of miles?
Isn't it just for money?
It's good now, even the salary is not enough, and the officials are already undercurrents in secret.Xu Jie is having a very hard time these days, his hair is half grey.He was angry, but he couldn't express it.

Can the current situation in Daming be the same as it was when Yan Song was in power?

The north has just been almost killed, burned, and robbed by Huang Taiji.This year's crops will not be harvested at all, and taxes will naturally be collected.Moreover, the court has to allocate funds to help the north recover. Even so, the north is now a barren place, and people starve to death every day.And it seems that winter is about to enter. At the beginning, Huangtaiji's army passed by, but they burned everything they saw. Now the people in the north don't even have a place to live, let alone eat. If winter comes, I'm afraid they will freeze to death immediately. batch.The situation is so dire that if the people's housing problems cannot be resolved before winter comes, riots may break out.

But can he say these words?Is it useful?Isn't the chief assistant of your cabinet to solve these problems?If it can't be solved, you still serve as the chief assistant of the desert?How about another person?
Now the wind direction of the court is not good for Xu Jie. There is already a saying in the capital, that is, if Gao Gong is appointed as the chief assistant of the cabinet, he must do better than Xu Jie. Under such circumstances, how dare Xu Jie Pour bitter water?If he dared to pour bitter water and spread it to Emperor Jiajing, I am afraid that Emperor Jiajing would immediately say:

"Okay, since you can't be the chief minister of the cabinet, then change to Gao Gong."

At this time, Xu Jie knelt on the ground, feeling powerless in his heart. Emperor Jiajing above said nothing, and the imperial study room became silent, and the sluggish atmosphere was oppressive like water. Feel the pressure.Then Xu Jie was reprimanded by Emperor Jiajing, and I'm afraid he couldn't hide himself.

Sure enough, Emperor Jiajing's voice sounded coldly again: "Luo Xin, Hubu, have you been away for a long time?"

"Yes!" Luo Xin lowered his head and whispered.

"Winter is about to enter, and you want me to live in this house that is ventilated on all sides?"

"Your servant is guilty!" Luo Xin also knelt down, but he was cursing secretly in his heart, is this a house that is exposed to the wind?What is the thatched house where the people in the Northland live?
"Hubu, you don't have to run away!" Emperor Jiajing said lightly.

Luo Xin was overjoyed, but then Emperor Jiajing's words left him speechless: "I will leave it to you to repair the Longevity Palace. No matter what method you use, I must repair it for me."

"The money?"

"Go and find a way." Emperor Jiajing said coldly.

Luo Xin couldn't help but scratched his head, and then asked: "Is it true that I can do whatever I want?"

"As long as you don't violate the rules, you can do whatever you want." A trace of curiosity flashed in Emperor Jiajing's eyes. He found that there was no panic or embarrassment on Luo Xin's face when he heard his request, and he couldn't help thinking:
"Is there really anything this kid can do?"

"Rules!" Luo Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Then can I borrow the signboard 'Royal'?"

Emperor Jiajing frowned, and asked a little puzzled: "Borrow the royal signboard? How?"

"It is to let everyone in the world know that this is to repair the palace for the royal family."

"This is to repair the palace for the royal family, sure."

"Also, this matter is not something that I can handle alone..."

"Who do you want?"

"Zhou Yu..." Luo Xin was not polite, and directly called out the names of the other eight Jinyang Jiujie, and Emperor Jiajing also played them one by one.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister went down to find a way."

"Go!" After saying that, Emperor Jiajing glanced at Xu Jie and said, "You should also step down, next month I don't want to see all the officials not being able to pay their salaries again."

"Yes, the old minister will leave."

Xu Jie and Luo Xin walked out of the imperial study room, Xu Jie walked in front and Luo Xin walked behind.Both of them walked with their heads down, thinking about their own things.Xu Jie, who was walking in front suddenly, slowed down and said lightly:
"Do you know who recommended you to His Majesty?"

"Isn't it you?" Luo Xin secretly thought, but on the surface he shook his head and said:

"do not know!"

"Gao Gong!" Xu Jie spit out two words lightly, then quickened his pace and left.

Looking at Xu Jie's back, Luo Xin understood.Gao Gong still wants to leave the capital by himself.Although he currently has the support of Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing's support for him is far less than the support he had for Xu Jie back then.

What does this mean?
This shows that Emperor Jiajing was still worried about Gao Gong and Luo Xin, and he was afraid of Gao Gong and Luo Xin joining forces.In other words, if Luo Xin didn't leave the capital for a day, Emperor Jiajing's support for Gao Gong would not increase, and once he found that Gao Gong had become bigger, he would turn to support Xu Jie.There will definitely be no support for Gao Gong or Xu Jie like Yan Song before.

So, if conditions permit, will Emperor Jiajing support Gao Gong or Xu Jie like he supported Yan Song?

Whether it is Gao Gong or Xu Jie, they actually have a good understanding of Emperor Jiajing's character. Emperor Jiajing is a person who is afraid of trouble. In order to practice Taoism, he could give everything to Yan Song.This caused Yan Song to monopolize the government and power to the government and the opposition.Now, Emperor Jiajing, who is getting older, feels that his life is not long. At this time, he is more urgent to practice Taoism, hoping to prolong his life with the help of Taoism, so Gao Gong and Xu Jie are very clear in their hearts. If Emperor Jiajing can find a worthy The person he trusts does not need to be trusted very much, as long as he has six to eight points of trust, he will definitely leave the government to that person, and Emperor Jiajing will devote himself to cultivating Taoism.Because Emperor Jiajing was obsessed with Taoism.

Emperor Jiajing brought Gao Gong into the cabinet because he wanted to conduct an assessment through the comparison between Gao Gong and Xu Jie. Whoever passed his assessment between these two people, he would throw the government affairs to whomever.This was originally the plan of Emperor Jiajing.

but……

Now that Luo Xin was born out of nowhere, Emperor Jiajing was very afraid.

If Luo Xin was just a simple literati, Emperor Jiajing would not be afraid, but would be very happy, and would train Luo Xin as a future chief assistant and leave it to his son.

However, Luo Xin was not a simple literati.Not only was he not, but he also had a very high prestige in the army, and was hailed as the god of war by Ming Dynasty.

No matter how high the prestige of a literati was, no matter how much power Emperor Jiajing gave him, and no matter how powerful the literati was, Emperor Jiajing would not be afraid.Just like Yan Song, who monopolizes the government and has power over the government and the opposition.

But so what?

Didn't Emperor Jiajing just say a word and collapse?

Because Emperor Jiajing knew in his heart that literati had no basis for rebellion, and their honor and disgrace depended on their own words, and if they were favored, they would have power over the government.On the contrary, they will be knocked into the dust, and they will not have the slightest ability to resist.

However, warriors are different.

The reason why the emperors of all dynasties feared the chaos of the country by the warriors.Therefore, Emperor Jiajing was very afraid of Luo Xin.As long as Luo Xin is around, it is impossible for him to give Gao Gong and Xu Jie a truly fair assessment.

Does Xu Jie understand this?

Of course he understood, but he also knew that Emperor Jiajing wanted to suppress Luo Xin, causing Luo Xin to feel resentful and make radical actions, so that Emperor Jiajing would take thunderous actions against Luo Xin and pull him out.Therefore, he resolutely implemented Emperor Jiajing's thoughts, but found that Luo Xin was not like a 16-year-old at all, but like a 60-year-old, who was truly able to endure.

To be honest, seeing Luo Xin's forbearance, Xu Jie was terrified.He was afraid that once Luo Xin survived this most difficult period, he would retaliate against him in the future.

However, there is no way he can.With Emperor Jiajing on one side and Luo Xin on the other, he naturally chose Emperor Jiajing.

Gao Gong was much smarter than Xu Jie in this regard. He didn't choose to join hands with Xu Jie to suppress Luo Xin, nor did he choose to join hands with Luo Xin. Instead, he came up with a way to get Luo Xin to leave the capital.However, he found that Luo Xin didn't seem to have the intention of leaving the capital at all.Especially in the last month, after being granted the title of Zhan Shifu You Zhongyun by Emperor Jiajing and became Yu Wang's teacher, it seemed that Luo Xin had no intention of leaving the capital anymore, so he was in a hurry.

Because he knew that if Luo Xin did not leave the capital for a day, Emperor Jiajing would not give him and Xu Jie a real assessment.In other words, only after Luo Xin died...or left the capital, Emperor Jiajing's assessment of him and Xu Jie would really start, and the battle between him and Xu Jie would really start.

Under this thought, Gao Gong finally couldn't bear it anymore. When he and Xu Jie met Emperor Jiajing to discuss financial difficulties, Gao Gong pretended to say that Luo Xin was good at managing money. Xin can make the family rich in a very short period of time.

No one knew more about Luo Xin than Emperor Jiajing.At the beginning, he had thoroughly investigated all eight generations of Luo Xin's ancestors, but now that he heard Gao Gong say this, he recalled it again, and felt that it was really such a short time.

Moreover, Emperor Jiajing thought about it seriously, and felt that this was really a solution to Luo Xin.If Luo Xin is really good at managing money, send Luo Xin away and let him leave the capital to make money for himself.In this way, Luo Xin is far away from the center of the court, and his influence is bound to decrease.

Ah!
Send Luo Xin to the south, so that Luo Xin is not only far away from the center of the court, but also far away from the north, and Luo Xin's influence in the army is mainly in the north.In this way, Luo Xin will gradually lose his influence on the government and the military.Then use the job of making money to completely tie Luo Xin, so that Luo Xin has no energy to take care of other things, and Luo Xin's threat can be completely resolved.The most important thing is that it can also solve the financial problems of Ming Dynasty. Now Emperor Jiajing is so poor that he is going crazy.

Not to mention that Luo Xin is still so low-key, even if Luo Xin is high-profile, under the circumstances of Daming, Emperor Jiajing will tolerate it and let Luo Xin make money for him first.

It's just... is Luo Xin really good at managing money?

Emperor Jiajing was not so confused as to hear that wind is rain, so he still planned to conduct a test on Luo Xin first.The assessment questions are all ready-made, that is to ask Luo Xin to solve the source of money for repairing the Longevity Palace. As long as Luo Xin can solve this problem, it will prove that Luo Xin is good at managing money.That's why today's meeting with Luo Xin happened.
