"Oh?" Emperor Jiajing looked at Luo Xin with a smile and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

"Let's start with the reasons for the failure of the two of them. Xu Shixing's failure was in the Xu Mansion, and Xu Shixing was under the pressure of the Xu Mansion and did not agree to the Xu Mansion to participate in the Daming Sea Trade. If this withstood the pressure of the Xu Mansion, there would have been no rebellion in the city. However, Xu Shixing withstood the pressure from the Xu Mansion, but did not withstand the pressure from his boss Zhang Juzheng. If Zhang Juzheng hadn't called Xu Shixing to the prefect's yamen several times and put pressure on Xu Shixing, Xu Shixing would not have compromised at all, and there would have been no subsequent failures.

Therefore, the crime of the rebellion of the city is not in Xu Shixing, but in Zhang Juzheng. It's just that in the end, Xu Shixing became a scapegoat. ”

Emperor Jiajing's face became unsightly, Luo Xin's words were very polite, which means that you Emperor Jiajing punished the wrong person. Even if there is no mistake in punishing Xu Shixing, why not punish Zhang Juzheng?

Why didn't you punish Zhang Juzheng?

Emperor Jiajing and Luo Xinzhong both understood very well, because at that time, Emperor Jiajing needed to rely on Xu Jie, and Gao Gong at that time was not Xu Jie's opponent at all, and was crushed by Xu Jie. Therefore, Emperor Jiajing gave Xu Jie a face, but only dealt with Xu Shixing, but did not deal with Zhang Juzheng.

"Your Majesty, now there is a problem with the City Department again, of course, Zhang Juzheng is not to blame for the appearance of the problem this time, the appearance of the Japanese is too sudden. However, after such a long time, Zhang Juzheng has not come up with an effective method, even if it is a suggestion, this is incompetent.

The most important thing is that when Zhang Juzheng went to the southeast to serve as the prefect, the Xu Mansion was like a cat that smelled fishy smell, and pounced on the city. Moreover, the Xu Mansion is very undisciplined, and for personal gain, it almost collapsed the Daming Sea Trade. Now that Zhang Juzheng is going to Xuanfu to serve as the prefect and the promotion of the mutual market, does His Majesty think that the Xu Mansion will let go of this opportunity?

No!

Absolutely not!

Once the Xu Mansion gets involved again, with the greed of the Xu Mansion, it will make a mess of the mutual market, not to mention the implementation of the commercial tax plan of fifteen out of one, that is, it can collect taxes normally, and I don't know if it can be collected, and even directly make the mutual market yellow.

Your Majesty, Zhang Ju is Xu Jie's most proud disciple, and he will not refuse Xu Fu to join. There is a precedent for the Southeast City Division, so the minister is very worried. ”

"Can Xu Shixing do it?" Emperor Jiajing's face showed hesitation.

"Your Majesty, if there is no Xu Jie, or if Zhang Juzheng is not a disciple of Xu Jie, there is no doubt that Zhang Juzheng is the best choice. Because Zhang Juzheng is the first assistant. ”

Emperor Jiajing's face did not change, and Emperor Jiajing originally cultivated Zhang Juzheng as the first assistant in the future in his heart. So Luo Xin said that Zhang Juzheng had the talent of the first assistant, and he was not surprised. However, the next words shocked Luo Xin.

The minister also believes that Xu Shixing also has the talent of the first assistant. It's just that he is younger than Zhang Juzheng, and his experience and experience are still a little lacking. However, the experience of the city will definitely make him mature. ”

Emperor Jiajing looked at Luo Xin and said, "Do you think Xu Shixing also has the talent of the first assistant?" ”

Luo Xin secretly said: "Isn't this nonsense? Historically, Zhang Juzheng and Xu Shixing both served as first assistants. How can it not be the first assistant? ”

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded decisively.

"And what are you?" Emperor Jiajing looked at Luo Xin with a smile.

Luo Xin's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he said: "Of course, the minister also has the talent of the first assistant, but the first assistant is not the life goal of the minister, and the life goal of the minister, Your Majesty knows." Now there are Xu Ge Lao and Gao Ge Lao, after these two predecessors, there are Zhang Juzheng and Xu Shixing, and the Ming Dynasty will have no worries about the cabinet in the next few decades. ”

The meaning of Luo Xin's words is very clear, I am the first assistant, but I am not here, I like to delve into knowledge, and send love to the landscape. And there are Xu Jiejie and Gao Gong in front of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Juzheng and Xu Shixing in the back, and I don't need Luo Xin, if Your Majesty you don't want me Luo Xin to be the first assistant of the cabinet, then you have to give Zhang Juzheng and Xu Shixing the opportunity to experience. For these two people to enter the cabinet in the future, sharpen them.

Zhang Juzheng is operating the city in the south, and Xu Shixing is operating the mutual market in the north.

Give two people the same status and the same grinding, and they can also distinguish the winner from the loser. In the future, the winner will be the first assistant of the cabinet, and the loser will be the second assistant of the cabinet. The two of them check and balance each other in the cabinet, isn't this exactly what Emperor Jiajing wants?

After Luo Xin finished speaking, Emperor Jiajing also figured it out, and he couldn't help but be amazed at this kind of arrangement. This is from the beginning of Sipin, which makes Zhang Juzheng and Xu Shixing competitors. Once this rival has become a habit, it becomes a political enemy. In the future, if two people are allowed to enter the cabinet, there will be checks and balances on each other.

Tall!

Emperor Jiajing's gaze at Luo Xin softened a lot, judging from Luo Xin's suggestion, there was no place for Luo Xin at all, now there are Xu Jie and Gao Gong, and in the future there are Xu Shixing and Zhang Juzheng. Obviously, Luo Xin just didn't want to be involved in the cabinet.

What does this mean?

This shows that Luo Xin really doesn't want to be an official. This made Emperor Jiajing's jealousy of Luo Xin to a minimum. Finally, he nodded and said:

"Then are you going to go to the southeast now, or are you going to wait for the appearance of the mutual market, and then go?"

"Wait." Luo Xin thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, then you can go back and rest for a while, and when you have enough rest, you will go to the Hanlin Academy and the James Mansion to have a look, and you can also go to see Zaigan when you have time."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Stand down."

"Farewell!"

Luo Xin returned to the mansion and really began to concentrate on resting. I'm really tired for a while, what Hanlin Academy, what James Mansion, what Yuwang Mansion, completely forget about one side, and I am in the mansion every day to reward my wife and children.

Luo Xin lives a peaceful life at home, but the court is different. It's like a storm is brewing.

Luo Xin went to the steppe, negotiated a contract with Mongolia, and when the Ming and Goryeo were at war, not only did they not send troops to attack the Ming Dynasty, but also borrowed 3,000 troops from the Jurchens, and at the same time opened a mutual market in Xuanfu.

What a wonderful thing that is!

Mutual market!

What a profit!

Too many giant businessmen are eyeing this piece, and of course, the supporters behind those giant businessmen, that is, these officials in the officialdom, have long sharpened their knives.

But......

Emperor Jiajing suddenly sent out the news, and the news that came out at the beginning made the government and the opposition happy, and the first news released by Emperor Jiajing was to stop building the Yuxi Palace. The reason is very simple, because Emperor Jiajing saw the hardships of the people's lives, and would rather live in hardship than bear the suffering of the people.

As soon as this decision came out, the government and the opposition were grateful. Everywhere there was a voice praising Emperor Jiajing.
