Mingshi

Chapter 675
Everyone's heart was moved, and then they all reacted, and each of them smiled and said:
"Roxin is dead!"

"Okay!" Lu Ding clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, don't stay here anymore, go back and send someone to Wangjing City to deliver the letter."

Suzhou.

Governor's Palace.

Hu Zongxian, Luo Xin and Qi Jiguang talked very happily. Hu Zongxian was naturally happy to get 50 taels of silver, and there was no future trouble. He didn't care where Luo Xin's money came from. Anyway, he got it from Luo Xin, not Get it from the six great families, even if the six great families want to take revenge, they can't find him.

not to mention……

He has long been resentful towards the Six Great Families. As the largest official in the southeast, he is fighting against the Japanese and protecting the Six Great Families. However, the Six Great Families did not give him much support, and instead sometimes pulled him back. , Many times his plans to suppress the Japanese were leaked in advance, and he suspected that it was the six aristocratic families who tipped off the Japanese pirates.This time Luo Xin ruthlessly placed the six great families together, he was very happy in his heart.At the same time, I admire Luo Xin very much in my heart, because Luo Xin has done something that he has never dared to do.

Sometimes he also wondered, in terms of background, he was much better than Luo Xin, then Luo Xin could not be regarded as a person with background at all, his father and grandfather were both farmers, but why Luo Xin was so bold, and He is still alive and well, and he has become a fifth-rank official at the age of 17.

Beijing.

cabinet.

Both Xu Jie and Gao Gong received a large number of memorials, all of which were impeachment of Luo Xin.Xu Jie looked at these memorials indifferently, because a large part of the memorials here were written with his consent.Gao Gong was also sitting there looking down at the memorials. In fact, as long as he had read one or two memorials, there was no need to read any more, because the contents of those two memorials were almost the same, both of which were impeaching Luo Xin for making chaos in the southeast. Killing innocents, Gao Gong can be sure that the content of the following memorials is the same.He picked up the third memorial, and as he opened it, he sighed in his heart, thinking to himself:

"This Luo Xin really won't be called Luo lunatic, Luo Shashen. No matter where he goes, it will be bloody. It's just that he used to kill Mongolian Tartars, but now he's killing corrupt officials."

As for why he concluded that the two officials who were killed must be corrupt officials, because he believed in Luo Xin's character and wisdom.

but……

What to do with these pocketbooks?
Press down?
He looked up at Xu Jie, Xu Jie seemed to be able to feel Gao Gong's gaze, the moment Gao Gong looked at him, he also raised his head and looked towards Gao Gong, the two eyes met in the air, Xu Jie laughed and said:

"Su Qing, do you see this matter?"

Gao Gong knew that since Xu Jie asked such a question, this matter could not be suppressed.In fact, he also knew that it was an extravagant hope to suppress this matter, because the driving force behind this matter was probably Xu Jie.He pondered for a while, and recalled Luo Xin's past. He always felt that Luo Xin would not give Xu Jie such a big handle so easily. Since he did this, he must have some countermeasures. His people set him up.Gao Gong had an idea, then nodded and said:
"Why don't we send these notebooks to His Majesty together?"

Xu Jie was taken aback for a moment, originally he thought that Gao Gong would speak for Luo Xin, at worst he would find a way to delay it, but he did not expect Gao Gong to agree so happily, and even to send it to Emperor Jiajing himself.

What is his idea?
Did he already know about this?Luo Xin communicated with Gao Gong before making a move in the southeast?What are the two planning?
However, he was the one who proposed to send these papers up, so naturally he couldn't back down now.He is the chief assistant of the cabinet, so he cannot lose his momentum.Dang even said with a smile:
"Come along!"

"Go together!" Gao Gong also stood up.

Longevity Palace.

Emperor Jiajing was looking at a secret memorial, which was sent by Jin Yiwei.It says that Luo Xin killed two corrupt officials in a row in the southeast, and hundreds of smuggled domestic slaves and pirates from the six major families.

"Good kill!" Emperor Jiajing slapped the table and thought to himself, "It's true that Shibosi hasn't started making money yet, but your six great families are making a lot of money. You deserve to be killed."

"Your Majesty, Elder Xu Ge, Elder Gao Ge, please see me."

"Xuan!" Emperor Jiajing put the ensemble aside, and saw Xu Jie and Gao Gong walk in, and behind them were two eunuchs carrying a box.After paying homage to Emperor Jiajing, the two eunuchs withdrew. Emperor Jiajing's eyes fell on the box, and he sighed inwardly.No need to ask, the box contained all the memorials, and Emperor Jiajing dared to conclude that the box contained all the impeachment memorials, because every time a group of people in the court impeached a person, they were sent by the cabinet in a box .

Moreover, Emperor Jiajing was sure that the memorials contained in that box were all about the impeachment of Luo Xin.Because there is no one in the court who is worthy of everyone's impeachment except that he is worried about not being able to pay his salary every day.The only thing that counts as a sensation is that Luo Xin killed hundreds of people in the southeast.

"I don't know how these people impeached Luo Xin."

Emperor Jiajing's eyes fell on Xu Jie and Gao Gong again, and said lightly:

"Who is this going to impeach?"

After saying that, he waved his hand again and said, "Forget it, I'll see for myself."

At this time, Huang Jin had already walked over, opened the box, and moved a stack of memorials from the inside to Emperor Jiajing's imperial book case in batches. Emperor Jiajing opened a memorial, and the contents inside were similar, all Let's talk about Luo Xin's killing indiscriminately in the southeast, so losing his benevolence will definitely cause instability in the southeast, turmoil in the southeast, and so on.

Emperor Jiajing only read a few copies, and then put the memorial in his hand on the imperial book case.He didn't care how many people Luo Xin killed. As for causing turmoil in the southeast, in his opinion, it was absurd.Killing two corrupt officials, killing hundreds of smugglers, and pirates will cause turmoil in the southeast?

The Japanese pirates kill more than [-] people in the southeast every year, why haven't they seen the turmoil in the southeast?
At this time, his thoughts slipped a bit. He was thinking, since Luo Xin arrested and killed those smugglers and pirates, you should have seized some gold, silver and goods, right?
The goods are fine, but how much gold and silver will there be?Why didn't Luo Xin deliver it?Does he want to be greedy for ink?Thinking of money being embezzled by Luo Xin, Emperor Jiajing's eyes showed murderous intent.

Xu Jie and Gao Gong had been secretly observing Emperor Jiajing, seeing the murderous intent in Emperor Jiajing's eyes, Xu Jie was overjoyed and Gao Gong's heart sank.

Thinking that Luo Xin might confiscated a sum of money, Emperor Jiajing felt a little anxious, looked up and saw Xu Jie and Gao Gong, and then remembered that these two people hadn't left yet.Also remembering what these two people were here for, Emperor Jiajing's expression became unfathomable again, and he said in a concentrated voice:
"You two lovers, what's your opinion on this matter?"

"Your Majesty!" Xu Jie saw the killing intent in Emperor Jiajing's eyes just now, and his heart has settled down, and he immediately said in a concentrated voice:
"The southeast is full of disasters. The Japanese pirates burned, killed and looted in the southeast. This has caused the people in the southeast to live in dire straits. Now that Mr. Luo is massacring the southeast again, it may really cause turmoil in the southeast."

Emperor Jiajing nodded, then looked at Gao Gong and said, "Where is Gao Qing?"

"Your Majesty!" Gao Gong said thoughtfully, "Lord Luo will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. I think that those people have a way to kill them. And we don't know the truth of the matter. Therefore, I think that if the court really If you want to investigate, you should send someone to the southeast to investigate the cause of the matter. Moreover, I think that if Mr. Luo did not kill the wrong person in this matter, then everyone who impeached Luo Xin is speaking for corrupt officials and smugglers. It is to speak for Japanese pirates and must be severely punished."

Xu Jie's complexion changed. Most of the people who impeached Luo Xin belonged to the Xu Party. If he was severely punished for this, his power would definitely be greatly reduced. In a panic, he immediately opened his mouth and said:

"How did Mr. Gao know that those two people are corrupt officials?"

Gao Gong said indifferently: "If it wasn't for corrupt officials, why would Luo Xin kill them? Luo Xin thinks killing people is fun? Or did those two dig up Luo Xin's ancestral grave?"

Xu Jie opened his mouth, but finally said: "Then how do you know that the hundreds of people who were killed were smugglers and Japanese pirates? Could it be to protest against Luo Xin's killing of innocent people?"

Gao Gong said lightly: "If Luo Xin wants to run the Shibo Department, he must eliminate smugglers and Japanese pirates. It is Hu Zongxian's job to eliminate Japanese pirates, but it is Luo Xin's job to fight against smugglers. If smuggling is not eliminated, Luo Xin's Shibosi is just a shelf. So I concluded that what Luo Xin killed must be smugglers and Japanese pirates or pirates who traded with smugglers."

"Okay!" Emperor Jiajing, who was sitting behind the imperial book table, said lightly: "This matter will be put on hold for the time being, and I think there will be memorials coming up in the southeast.

Speaking of this, Emperor Jiajing suddenly smiled and said, "I haven't received Luo Xin's memorial yet."

Xu Jie's heart sank, and he immediately understood the meaning of Emperor Jiajing's words, that is, I can't listen to your one-sided words.He couldn't help thinking of Yan Song in his heart, and he felt jealous of Yan Song in his heart. He thought that Yan Song's treatment was much higher than Xu Jie's. Emperor Jiajing never said anything similar to Yan Song. Usually, Emperor Jiajing would agree to what Yan Song wanted to do.

With such a mood, Xu Jie and Gao Gong left. Both of them were silent, and they frowned slightly thinking about Emperor Jiajing's performance today, trying to figure out the holy meaning.

Emperor Jiajing behaved very strangely today, at first he showed killing intent, but later he meant to protect Luo Xin.

what on earth is it?

Slowly, the faces of both of them changed, Xu Jie's face turned dark, while Gao Gong's face showed a smile.

Because both of them thought at this time, since Luo Xin dared to kill so many people, it proved that Luo Xin caught those smugglers and must have seized a lot of money and goods.Emperor Jiajing was not waiting for Luo Xin's memorial, but for the gold and silver sent by Luo Xin. As long as Luo Xin sent the captured gold and silver to the capital, Luo Xin would not be punished by Emperor Jiajing in the slightest.And it will be appreciated by the vast majority of officials.

After all, there are only a small number of officials who can benefit from smuggling in the southeast. Most officials are now worried about their lives, because the court has paid half their salaries for several months, and they can't even eat enough.

According to the capital, it is not easy.

How can I do without salary?
However, once Luo Xin's money is sent, they will have a salary, which is everyone's interest, how could they not thank Luo Xin?
At that time, the person who impeached Luo Xin was a joke, and it was also a joke to spit on Xu Jie.

and……

That Gao Gong said in front of Emperor Jiajing just now that those who impeached Luo Xin should be tracked down, and this will be a big loss.Even if Emperor Jiajing did not pursue those who impeached Luo Xin in the end, but he was hit hard by this, would those people dare to impeach Luo Xin in the future?

What Xu Jie could think of, Gao Gong could naturally think of too.He is very happy at this moment, he is happy because he will soon be able to get the full salary, he is not short of the two money, but his subordinates need it.He has heard his subordinates complain more than once.The second joy was that he was able to suppress Xu Jie's party again this time by taking advantage of Luo Xin's power.

The two returned home from get off work with different moods. When they went to work in the cabinet the next day, although Xu Jie looked calm, his heart was still restless.After flipping through the memorials, there was no Luo Xin's memorial, so he called in the cabinet secretary Lang Xu Shixing.

"Is there a memorial from Dongnan Luoxin?"

Xu Shixing immediately shook his head and said, "My lord, no."

Xu Jie nodded and said, "Understood, you can go down."

Looking up at Gao Gong, he saw Gao Gong sitting there with a smile, holding a teacup, drinking tea leisurely.Xu Jie was a forbearing person, he just snorted coldly in his heart, lowered his head and continued to read the memorial.

Knowing that Luo Xin's memorial was still not delivered when he got off work in the evening, Xu Jie returned to the mansion a little uneasy, but not long after sitting down, Zhang Juzheng and several officials came to the Xu mansion.

After entering Xu Jie's study, Zhang Juzheng said, "Teacher, what about impeachment?"

Xu Jie sighed and said, "In a few days, Luo Xin must send money to the capital."

Although Xu Jie did not directly answer Zhang Juzheng's question, everyone in the study understood the meaning of this sentence.Zhang Juzheng was also very complicated at this time. On the one hand, Zhang Juzheng admired Luo Xin very much, and he didn't want Luo Xin to have trouble, let alone persecute Luo Xin.On the other hand, he is also a person with ideals and ambitions. If he wants to realize his ideals and aspirations, he must go to the top of Ming Dynasty's power. But now he is still weak and wants to enter the cabinet. His teacher Xu Jie is very important, so he can't let Xu Jie have an accident.Zhang Juzheng took a deep breath and said in a concentrated voice:
"Teacher, there is another letter from the southeast."
