Mingshi

Chapter 835 Road Encounters
Back then, Yan Song asked him for the golden elixir in a roundabout way, but Emperor Jiajing didn't give it to him, and Yan Song didn't understand it very much.

His younger brother Lu Bing once politely asked for the golden pill, but Emperor Jiajing didn't give it to him, so Lu Bing didn't understand it very much.

It was Huang Jin who was always by his side. Although he didn't ask for it, the look in his eyes every time he saw Jin Dan made Emperor Jiajing clearly know Huang Jin's mood.

but……

Luo Xin!

This person who has not been with him for a long time, not only made great contributions to him and Daming, but also thought of him so much, so loyal.Even if Emperor Jiajing rewarded him with a great fortune, Luo Xin didn't want it, for the sake of Emperor Jiajing's fortune.

At this moment, Emperor Jiajing felt a little sorry for Luo Xin.

"Maybe... he can become the pillar of my son's country?"

He hesitated in his heart, but the look on his face softened a lot, and then he remembered to ask Luo Xin what he was doing here?
"Luo Xin, you came to see me, what's the matter?"

"The golden pill that His Majesty bestowed on the minister was robbed and eaten by His Royal Highness King Jing. It was directly from the minister's home. He was robbed and eaten. Your Majesty is asked to be the master for the minister."

"........."

Emperor Jiajing became irritable again, because he hadn't considered how to deal with this matter yet.So he lowered his face again and said:
"Just for this?"

"Also... on the way I came to the palace just now, I met a dozen guards escorting a carriage and galloping down the street. Just because an old man was slow to hide, the guard beat the old man with a whip. The minister took care of this matter, but the people in the carriage let the guards kill the minister."

"Who is so bold?" Emperor Jiajing was furious.

"Concubine Jing!" Luo Xin lowered his eyes and said: "Later, the yamen servants rushed over and asked us about our respective backgrounds. Concubine Jing knew that this minister was Luo Xin, who was robbed of the golden elixir by King Jing, and left in a hurry. Presumably at this time , His Royal Highness King Jing already knew that I came here to file a complaint. And... the dozen or so yamen servants are still waiting outside the gate of the palace, maybe I was arrested by them when I walked out of the palace, and thrown into prison."

"Huang Jin!" Emperor Jiajing was furious: "Go let those yamen servants go!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Also, go to Prince Jing's Mansion again, and ask him to ground me at home honestly for a month."

"According to the order!"

Huang Jin left in a hurry, Emperor Jiajing took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and said lightly:
"You step back!"

"I retire!"

Luo Xin left the palace, went outside the gate, and sure enough, the dozen or so yamen servants were gone.He joined Lu Daqing and the two guards and walked along the street towards Prince Yu's Mansion.

However, before he could go far, a person suddenly rushed out from behind a big tree.

"Qiang..."

Luo Xin's two guards pulled out their waist knives at the same time.

"Pfft..."

The person who rushed out suddenly knelt down in front of them, Luo Xin took a closer look and found that it was the leader of the yamen servant, he suddenly realized in his heart.The head of the yamen servant looked at Luo Dao pitifully:
"Master Luo, the villain is wrong. You should spare the villain."

Luo Xin knew why the yamen chief was so flustered, Huang Jin must have come out and scolded him, which made him feel that he was not easy to mess with, and was afraid that he would target him, but in fact, Luo Xin really wouldn't care about such a small person like him.Then he said lightly:
"Let's go, forget about it!"

"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!" The yamen servant chief kowtowed repeatedly.

Luo Xin walked forward, and after walking for a while, he felt that it was not suitable to go to Prince Yu's Mansion at this time, and when he reached Prince Yu's Mansion, it was almost time for dinner.But it's too early to go home now.He wanted to take a look at Zhan Shi's mansion, but after walking for a long time, he heard someone calling him from behind.

"No weapon!"

Luo Xin looked back, and saw a carriage behind him, with a head protruding from the door, but it was Zhao Zhenji, Luo Xin's immediate boss, Minister of Rites who also served as Zhan Shi's Zhan Shi.

"Lord Zhao!" Luo Xin cupped his hands in salute.

"No, what are you?"

"Nothing!"

"Come up, let's find a place to chat!" Zhao Zhenji sent out an invitation.

Luo Xin got into the carriage, and Lu Daqing and two guards followed behind.Sitting opposite Zhao Zhenji, Luo Xin found that there was worry hidden between Zhao Zhenji's eyebrows.However, if he saw Zhao Zhenji and didn't say anything, Luo Xin couldn't ask.The two were silent for a while, Zhao Zhenji showed a smile on his face and said:

"No, you haven't gone to Zhan Shifu yet?"

"Go once!"

"Oh?" Zhao Zhenji was taken aback, Luo Xin just asked for leave, why did he go to Zhan Shifu again?But then he put it aside and asked with a smile:
"How does it feel?"

"It feels like..." Luo Xin revealed a wry smile on his face and said, "Stop taking it easy!"

"Hahaha……"

Zhao Zhenji laughed loudly, but Luo Xin kept smiling wryly. When Zhao Zhenji laughed enough, he said earnestly:

"No, in fact, you are more relaxed now, there is nothing wrong with it."

Luo Xin suddenly raised his head, looked at Zhao Zhenji's sincere expression, and knew that the old goblin like Zhao Zhenji's age, who had been in the officialdom for decades, had already seen clearly the situation he was in.He didn't hide his thoughts at the moment, nodded and said:

"Yes! The lower officials are also so happy. And..." Luo Xin said with a trace of fatigue on his face: "I am indeed a little tired."

Looking at the trace of exhaustion on Luo Xin's face, Zhao Zhenji sighed and said: "It's hard for you. These years, the burden of Daming has been completely on your immature shoulders. You have fought all over the country and solved the financial problems of Daming. .On the contrary, the cabinet is nothing but factionalism.”

Hearing the party struggle, Luo Xin fell silent.After a while, Zhao Zhenji also took the initiative to avoid the words of party disputes, and the two started chatting.

The carriage stopped, Zhao Zhenji said with a smile: "No, let me have a drink with the old man."

"it is good!"

Luo Xin jumped out of the car first, then helped Zhao Zhenji get out of the car, walked into Hongfu Building, asked for a private room on the second floor, and the food and drinks were brought up like water. After the two of them drank three rounds, Zhao Zhenji brought up the party dispute again words.

"No, what do you think of party struggle?"

Luo Xin smiled and said, "It's not surprising!"

"Not strange?" Zhao Zhenji looked at Luo Xin strangely.

"Well, it's normal!" Luo Xin nodded.

"Normal?" Zhao Zhenji looked at Luo Dao earnestly: "No, don't be perfunctory to me."

Luo Xin also said seriously: "My lord, I am not perfunctory, I am serious."

"Then you don't have any opinion on Xu Jie?"

"Two things!" Luo Xin said seriously: "Xu Jie has a problem with his personal morality, and I have a private enmity with him, and everyone in Ming Dynasty knows it. But, to be fair, the dispute between Xu Jie and Mr. Gao is not all for his own sake. Self-seeking. There is still a difference between him and Yan Song. Yan Song no longer has his own ideals. He is completely a dog of His Majesty. He suppresses others for his own selfish desires. However, Xu Jie still has his own ideals, thinking about Zhongxing Daming .

However, if a person wants to realize his ideals, he must kick all the stumbling blocks on the way forward. At this point, there is no reason.As long as someone has a different philosophy from Xu Jie, no matter if that person is a corrupt or honest official, he will do everything possible to kick him out.Similarly, if someone has the same ideas as him, even if I, Luo Xin, share the same ideas with him, he will put down his personal grudges and join hands with me.

It's just that his methods are darker, with too many plots and too few overt schemes.With such a heart and personality, I can conclude that he will definitely leave the cabinet in the future. "
