He Xinyin said with a wry smile on his face: "No, with your cleverness, why do you have to do this?" ”

Luo Xin smiled, and He Xinyin said, "Let's go, I can't be hungry for you." ”

Luo Xin nodded, and did not ask where to go, but said to He Xinyin: "I'll change my clothes." ”

"Hmm!"

Soon, Luo Xin changed into civilian clothes, took Lu Daqing and Wan Daquan, and He Xinyin left Luofu from the back door, and the four of them rode very well, riding horses and galloping towards Kunming Lake.

It's still the painting boat, it's still Wang Ji, Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng, He Xinyin and Luo Xin.

The five people didn't eat, and the faces of the four people who looked at Xu Jie were a little tired, and the five people were a little polite, and then they ate with their heads bored.

Although everyone has something on their minds, the more this time, the more they don't want the other party to know that they are anxious, and they all eat slowly and elegantly. But he didn't drink anything, and he ate slowly, and he finished in less than three quarters of an hour. Someone came in and removed the dishes, brought tea, and then withdrew, slammed the door shut, and the room fell silent.

They don't speak, and neither does Luo Xin. About ten breaths or so passed, Xu Jie stood up, bowed to Luo Xin, and said:

"No, the old man apologizes for what he did to you in the past."

Luo Xin was slightly stunned, Xu Jie did not call Mr. Luo Xin, nor did he call his official position, let alone call himself his own official, this is apologizing to himself as a Shilin.

However, this is not something that you can get over with an apology. Therefore, Luo Xin remained silent.

A hint of humiliation appeared in Xu Jie's eyes, and he took a deep breath to calm himself down, and continued:

"We've decided to work with you to follow a basic rule."

Luo Xin was still silent, and his eyes were lowered. Xu Jie's face showed embarrassment, and he looked at Wang Ji, Wang Ji's face also showed helplessness, since he was ridiculed by Luo Xin in the painting boat last time, he has studied Luo Xin seriously for more than ten days.

With this research, he knew that he had underestimated Luo Xin before. Originally, in his heart, he didn't take Luo Xin too seriously, no matter how powerful Luo Xin was, he was just a junior.

Not bad!

He just treats Luo Xin as a junior. A junior of Shilin. Since he is a junior, in front of his own old-timer, he must not be respected?

But Luo Xin did not hesitate to fight back and ridicule, so he had to reacquaint himself with Luo Xin, returned to Xu Mansion, and began to study Luo Xin through various aspects. The more I studied Luo Xin, the more surprised I became.

If you forget Luo Xin's age, as long as you look at his achievements in writing books and biography and learning, this is a great Confucian who is not inferior to him. In Shilin's position, Luo Xin is not weaker than him. Putting aside the issue of age, Luo Xin is definitely qualified to be on an equal footing with him, but he is not qualified to pose as a senior in front of Luo Xin.

However, Luo Xin is young!

Therefore, from Shilin's point of view, Luo Xin still has to respect Wang Ji, and Wang Ji can also put some qualifications in front of Luo Xin.

However, Luo Xin's identity is not just a Confucian!

He is still a generation of military gods!

The god of war is, of course, a military general.

A general, of course Wang Ji will not take it to heart, and even Wang Ji can insult any military general of the Ming Dynasty in person. The literati of the Ming Dynasty are so good in front of the generals, and some of the generals even defected to the civil officials, claiming to be the lackeys of the civil officials, which shows how low the status of the generals is in the Ming Dynasty.

However, it is different if a military general is a military god.

No matter what you do, once you become a god, it's definitely different.

Wang Ji can reprimand any general, but if he wants to put his qualifications in front of a military god, he must also weigh himself. Reprimanding any military general only offends that general, at most offends a handful of generals related to that general. But if you offend a military god, you are the enemy of the entire military attache system. Whoever this puts on must be weighed.

Not to mention......

When a generation of great Confucians and a generation of military gods are combined, the power is not a matter of one plus one equals two.

Luo Xin's identity is enough to make everyone ignore his age, and he must be treated solemnly, not as a junior.

Luo Xin has a third identity......

Daming God of Wealth!

On the surface, the scribes regarded money as dung, but everyone knew the power of money. Without money, it would be impossible for those great families to inherit for thousands of years.

Moreover, Luo Xin can solve the Ming finances, so that the Ming Dynasty is no longer short of money, and the South City Bosi is traded in the market, and it is not in vain to achieve this point, and the word God of Wealth is not in vain.

The three-in-one identity of these three identities made Wang Ji begin to treat Luo Xin seriously, completely putting aside Luo Xin's grade. Such a person, you can't look at his age at all, that's a demon. He immediately raised his hand and patted Xu Jie's arm to show comfort and let Xu Jie's sit down.

Wang Ji is really helpless, and he can't blame Luo Xin for being rude, let alone Luo Xin for being narrow-minded.

In terms of personal grievances, Xu Jie once arrested Luo Xin's teacher and father-in-law for no reason, and forced Lu Tingfang and Luo Xin to withdraw from their marriage.

It's not a human thing!

Whoever this grudge is placed on, it is not something that can be forgiven with an apology, and if you don't scold people on the spot, it is already Luo Xin's self-cultivation.

In terms of official affairs, Xu Jie's work is even less authentic, in order to flatter the emperor, regardless of whether the people live or die, build the Yuxi Palace, causing the people to be displaced, and Yi Zi eats, Luo Xin showed disdain to talk to Xu Jie, is this wrong?

That's right!

This is Shilin's backbone.

Wang Ji sighed in his heart, in fact, he didn't expect Luo Xin to forgive Xu Jie, but Xu Jie had to make such a gesture for the next negotiation.

"No, the old man went back and thought about it seriously, you are right, and it is very open.

As you said, even when we cooperate, there are struggles in cooperation. So we need to have a rule that both sides must follow, and that no one can break. ”

Seeing that Wang Ji began to dominate the words, Luo Xin raised his eyes, looked at Wang Ji and nodded. Wang Ji continued:

"As you said, no matter how much we fight with each other, it will not hurt our families, and this is a rule that both sides must follow."

Luo Xin tilted his head slightly and looked at Xu Jie. Xu Jie's heart was tight, and his heart was in fear. He was afraid that when he was no longer an official and Luo Xin gained power, Luo Xin would treat his family like he did with Luo Xin's family back then. At this time, he really regretted doing that back then, and realized the importance of not being able to do it to his family.
