Chapter 944 Wang Xijue Visits

After a while, after Emperor Jiajing confirmed that Huang Jin was not poisoned, Huang Jin cut off another piece and handed it to Emperor Jiajing.Emperor Jiajing took it, took a bite, and then took another quick bite. After one more bite, a piece of bread was finished. Then he stretched out his finger and pointed at the bread, and Huang Jin immediately cut another slice.In less than a quarter of an hour, Emperor Jiajing ate half of the bread, and his face was full of satisfaction.

Emperor Jiajing was old, and his teeth were already failing.And taking Jindan all the year round, the stomach is not good.Eating this soft bread now not only tastes good, but also feels good on the stomach, and the eyes that look at Luo Xin become gentle.

"Luo Xin, so many papers are impeaching you, you know that?"

After saying that, he threw a stack of folders in front of Luo Xin.Luo Xin didn't pick it up, but shook his head and said:

"Your Majesty, I don't need to look at it. It's all the slander against me by Xu Jie's party. Your Majesty, you are wise and powerful, and you have already seen their dirty tricks."

"You don't defend yourself?" Emperor Jiajing looked at him indifferently.

"No need! In this great world, what else can we hide from His Majesty? If I am guilty, there is no need for them to impeach me. Your Majesty already knew it. If I am not guilty, Your Majesty, who is wise and mighty, will naturally do the same." Arbitrary. Not a few villains can control His Majesty."

Emperor Jiajing stared fixedly at Luo Xin, and said for a while, "Go back."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I retire!"

"Slow down! Huang Banban, let the royal cook in the palace follow Luo Xin back, what..."

"Toast!" Luo Xin said hastily.

"Yes, it is to bake bread, let the cook in Luo Xin's family teach the imperial cook."

"According to the order!"

Luo Xin walked out of Yuxi Palace and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.But it was just a sigh of relief.Although Emperor Jiajing didn't punish him for impeaching him, he didn't say anything. It was like hanging a sword over his head, and he didn't know when it would fall.

Xu House.

Inside the study.

Xu Jie sat alone in the dim room with a very gloomy face.Luo Xin entered the palace, and then came out intact, he has received the news.This made him feel very aggrieved. The chief minister of the cabinet has nothing to do with a fourth-rank Zhan Shifu left concubine. This is not an ordinary loss of status.

Especially when he thought that Xu Shixing was recommended by Luo Xin for the Secretary of Shibo, it made him feel very uneasy.Shibo is not limited to Hangzhou, its influence radiates to the whole southeast, naturally it also has a profound impact on Xu Jie's hometown Songjiang, and Songjiang is really close to Hangzhou.

If Xu Shixing really returned to Fuxingshe and Luo Xin's side, it would be a knife placed by Xu Jie's side.This made him very uneasy.

Do not!
Perhaps Xu Shixing never returned to Fuxingshe, and returned to Luo Xin's side.but...

He suddenly remembered that Xu Shixing was originally a member of the Fuxing Society, and he had a close relationship with Luo Xin back then, and he once wrote "Yuan History" with Luo Xin.

"He won't be the spy that Luo Xin arranged by my side?"

That would be bad!

He trained Zhang Juzheng as his heir. If Xu Shixing was a spy sent by Luo Xin, wouldn't he have Zhang Juzheng killed in Hangzhou?
He didn't know if Xu Shixing had that ability, but he knew that Luo Xin had it.

If in the Ming Dynasty, who knew Luo Xin best, Xu Jie felt that he knew him best.

Luo Xin is a very complicated person, with his violent side, he can lead 2000 people across the grassland, and kill the grassland until ghosts and wolves howl.He also has incomparable wisdom. Under such a complicated situation in the southeast, under the coercion of the whole southeast and the court, he was able to completely defeat the opponent, completely control the southeast, and control the Shibosi.

This is not something ordinary people can do, and for others, after going through so many things, they will definitely leave a ruthless and dictatorial image.Such a person, no one wants to be friends with him, even if they are friends with him, they will be on guard.

but……

That's not the impression that Luo Xin left on people. When he completely defeated the six great families, he also wiped out the whole family of the Lu family, and then recruited the other five great families.And this kind of surrender is not to force the five great families with the momentum of a big victory, but to use endless benefits to win the respect of the five great families.

What an endless benefit!

Then Daming Maritime Trade is simply a cornucopia!Let the five worlds make a lot of money.Therefore, the five aristocratic families didn't hold any resentment towards Luo Xin, but were grateful and spread the word about Luo Xin's kindness and noble character.Let Luo Xin become a model of convincing people with virtue.It completely covered up his ruthlessness.

When Luo Xin returned to the capital, he would pretend to be a grandson again, and was assigned to Zhan Shifu, and he was also in a state of joy.Moreover, he cleverly used his own suppression to use a juxian bookstore to recruit all his subordinates into his camp, and similarly made the officials of Zhan Shifu to be grateful to him and willing to follow him.

Such a man with methods and strategies, who hides his ruthlessness with a friendly face, if Xu Shixing was his man, Luo Xin would have no difficulty in dealing with Zhang Juzheng.

and……

Now Zhang Juzheng still doesn't know that Xu Shixing is Luo Xin's person!
If Zhang Juzheng fell in Hangzhou, it would have severely damaged Zhang Juzheng's confidence, which would have a huge impact on Zhang Juzheng becoming the chief assistant of the cabinet in the future.Maybe, it will never recover from a fall.

This is the result that Xu Jie absolutely does not want to see.

but……

What if Xu Shixing wasn't Luo Xin's spy?
Was it Luo Xin's trick to recommend Xu Shixing?
"I still have to remind Taiyue to keep a close watch on Xu Shixing!"

Xu Jie took out a pen and paper and began to write a letter.

Luo Xin welcomes Wang Xijue in the mansion, and this Wang Xijue is also a member of the Fuxing Society.It's just that later, like Xu Shixing, he gradually drifted away from Luo Xin, but he was not as decisive as Xu Shixing at the beginning, and no longer associated with Luo Xin.And he still kept in touch with Luo Xin, but the number of times he had been in contact with Luo Xin was very small, and it was not for business, so he didn't get in touch with Luo Xin.Even when he came to Luo Mansion, he was ordered by Gao Gong to see the golden pill that Emperor Jiajing bestowed on Luo Xin.

Therefore, when Luo Xin welcomed Wang Xijue into the Luo residence, he had already concluded in his heart that Wang Xijue came with Gao Gong's order.

but……

However, Wang Xijue acted as if he was just here to visit, which made Luo Xin confused for a while.

"No, you're not mean enough!" Wang Xijue said reproachfully.

"What do you mean?" Luo Xin had a puzzled look on his face.

"We are also friends, right? I am also a member of the Fuxing Society, right? I heard about your baked bread."
