Xu Jie and Gao Gong were furious.

Luo Xin killed more than 30 officials at once, and among these 30 or so officials, there were people from Gao Gong and people from Xu Jie. Their anger was not the one Xu Jie's person who killed them. They also saw the guilt of the thirty or so officials announced by Luo Xin.

It's embezzlement, and the amount of embezzlement is still very large.

However, it is enough to dismiss the official, why kill? We are scholars, how can we be killed for corruption?

Moreover, one kill is more than thirty, this is a province, and when you finish seven provinces, how many are you going to kill? What do you do with officials? When he was a lamb to the slaughter?

It's going to be a big mess. The reason why civil officials have a transcendent status is that once they become officials, they almost get a gold medal for avoiding death. Even if it is an emperor, at most, he dismisses and distributes the civil officials who committed crimes, and rarely kills them. This is the prerogative of civil servants. Now Luo Xin has torn this privilege, once he has created an impression on the emperor, civil officials can also kill as casually as military attachés, if they can kill others today, they can kill me tomorrow.

The officials in the capital suddenly united, and under the leadership of Gao Gong and Xu Jie, they all played to impeach Luo Xin. However, Emperor Jiajing didn't even look at it, he was watching Luo Xin's recital at this time, and he smiled. It records how much gold and silver fell out of the family and how much land they got in Shandong.

This is only one Shandong Province, don't forget, this time Luo Xin is preparing to walk seven identities, seven provinces down, the silver obtained by the family should be able to cope with more than a year, or even two years of Ming finances. Moreover, the land obtained by the seizure of the family can also alleviate the taxes of the Ming Dynasty. Solve the financial difficulties of the Ming Dynasty.

As long as you can make yourself pure, what do you care about the Xu Steps and the high arch movements?

Isn't it just killing civil officials?

I have already arranged a backhand for Luo Xin, kill here, and someone will replace him immediately, and there will be chaos in this world. It's these corrupt officials who make my world unstable, what are you doing with them?

For half a month, the emperor did not see the courtiers, and he also left those folds in the middle. When the capital received Luo Xin and went to another province and killed more than forty officials, Gao Gong couldn't help it. I immediately found Xu Jie.

"Lord Xu, as the head of the cabinet, you just watched Luo Xin kill officials like this?"

Xu Jie frowned and said, "We have all been folded, Your Majesty will not send it, what can we do?" ”

Speaking of this, he sighed and said: "Since Your Majesty has been in power, there has been a great etiquette, and now in just one month, more than seventy officials have been killed, and it is becoming more and more difficult for civil officials to be officials. ”

"Smack!" Gao Gong slapped the table and said, "I can't let Luo Xin continue to kill like this." ”

"What can you do?" Xu Jie looked up at the high arch.

"Give your majesty a fold."

"We've already been on it." Xu Jie looked at Gao Gong in confusion.

"This time it's different!" Gao Gong said solemnly: "If Your Majesty doesn't call Luo Xin back this time, we will return to our hometown together." ”

Xu Jie's face changed, which was clearly persecuting Emperor Jiajing. With Emperor Jiajing's character, he will never compromise, and that is a big storm.

And......

He has already provoked His Majesty's anger now, if he is doing this, no matter what others do, he is the head of the cabinet......

No!

I'm afraid it's not just the first assistant of the cabinet, it's the real old man who has returned to his hometown.

Xu Jie has worked hard all his life, but not to return to his hometown. Therefore, his expression hesitated. A sarcastic look appeared on Gao Gong's face:

"Lord Xu, are you afraid?"

Xu Jie took a deep breath, stabilized his mood, shook his head and said:

"It's not that I'm afraid, but do you think about the serious consequences of this?"

"What are the serious consequences?" Gao Gong sneered: "At most, he will be dismissed." It doesn't matter if this official is not appropriate. ”

"It's not!" Xu Jie shook his head and said: "We are on the fold, if Your Majesty continues to stay in the middle and do not send it, ignore it." What are we going to do? ”

"Naturally, I forced the palace in front of the palace."

Gao Gong is really in a hurry, and he doesn't even shy away from the word "forcing the palace". Xu Jie sighed and said:

"Now the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil, and the homeless people are everywhere, and the homeless people are everywhere. There are Wako in the south and Goryeo in the north. In this situation, the officials do not work or do things, but force the palace outside the palace gate. The Ming Dynasty was paralyzed all of a sudden. At that time, it would cause disaster relief to be untimely and the suppression of bandits would not go smoothly. Once the northern and southern Wako and Goryeo attacked silently. We are the sinners of the Ming Dynasty. You are not forcing the palace with the future of yourself and the officials, but you are forcing the palace with the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty. The old man can't do it. ”

"You ......"

Where did Gao Gong not know that this was clearly an excuse made by Xu Jie?

If Xu Jie was dedicated to serving the people, how could he go to repair the Yuxi Palace for Emperor Jiajing? How could it be possible to ignore the homeless people and end up causing the homeless gangsters?

Xu Jiezhi was clearly afraid of being demoted to a commoner by Emperor Jiajing. At this time, Xu Jie really disappointed Gao Gong. Flicking the sleeves of his robe, he said as he walked outside:

"Some people used to say that you are a coward, and I don't believe it yet. Now it seems that you are not only a coward, but also a traitor who is not even as good as Yan Song. ”

"Presumptuous!" Xu Jie threw the teacup in his hand to the ground with a "bang", but Gao Gong had already slammed the door and left.

Gao Gong returned to his duty room, Wang Xijue saw that Gao Gong was full of anger, so he stepped forward and asked cautiously:

"Your Excellency?"

Gao Gong sat down on the chair angrily and said, "Inform me to go to the old man's house tonight." ”

"Yes, my lord?"

"Xu Jie, that old horseman, is timid and cowardly, he doesn't dare to go to the palace to force the palace, he doesn't go, let's go."

Wang Xijue's face changed at that time.

"Adult ......"

He wanted to say no, but when he saw Gao Gong's face, he didn't dare to say it. Gao Gong glared at him and said:

"What? Are you also cowardly? Don't dare to go? ”

"It's not!" Wang Xijue smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, have you considered the consequences? ”

Gao Gong blew his beard and glared, "What are the consequences?" ”

Wang Xijue said with difficulty: "Your Majesty will leave all the excerpts of the single-core Luo Xin in the middle, which shows Your Majesty's attitude towards this matter." That Xu Jie must also know the result of forcing the palace. My lord, have you forgotten the great etiquette? ”

"I didn't forget!" Gao Gong's expression regained his calm, and his face showed a look of justice: "It's a big deal to say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown." ”

"However, once you return to your hometown, this Ming will be Xu Jie's. Who else can restrain Xu Jie? Xu Jie's reign, isn't the Ming Dynasty going to die? Are you willing to watch Xu Jie toss Daming to death? ”

Gao Gong was silent.
