Chapter 1226: Desolation
Luo Xin said in a firm tone, and at this moment, a shocking cry sounded behind them, and the hundred officials who were driven away were beaten sadly, at first there was only one person crying, and then more and more people cried, crying more and more fiercely, and the whole palace resounded with the sound of howling and crying all day long.
This cry made the Jiajing Emperor inside furious, I haven't died yet, and you have begun to cry for me?
This is to see that I am old, and it is easy to bully, isn't it?
"Go, tell Huang Jin, arrest them all and put them in prison."
When Huang Jin heard Emperor Jiajing's will, he was stupid.
Arrest all these officials?
Then the whole court is not messed up?
Thinking of this, Huang Jin hurriedly ran towards the side hall, the words that the little eunuch gave to Huang Jin just now, all the officials also heard it, including Xu Jie, and the hundred officials, including Xu Jie, were startled, and the shadow of the great etiquette suddenly enveloped their hearts, and they didn't cry anymore, their faces were full of panic.
Xu Jie didn't expect Emperor Jiajing's reaction to be so big, and he was a little confused for a while.
Huang Jin hurriedly ran into the main hall, and as soon as he entered the main hall, he heard the angry voice of Emperor Jiajing:
"But you arrested them all?"
"Your Majesty, you can't! There are more than 200 officials outside, and if they are all arrested, there will be no officials in the entire capital to do anything, and it will be chaotic. ”
And at this time, a little eunuch came in to report: "Your Majesty, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Lord Liu asks to see you." ”
"Let him in!"
Liu Shouyou walked in, and after meeting Emperor Jiajing, he said, "Your Majesty, the squire of the Ministry of Works is dead. ”
Emperor Jiajing was shocked: "Was it assassinated?" ”
"It's not!" Liu Shouyou shook his head and said: "I said that when I went out, I accidentally fell into the water and drowned, but there are also suspicions." And ......"
"What else?"
"A gunpowder warehouse outside the city exploded, killing more than a dozen craftsmen."
Emperor Jiajing closed his eyes, his temples throbbing. Liu Shouyou and Huang Jin glanced at each other, their expressions were very solemn, and they held their breath.
Emperor Jiajing knew that this was King Jing's move, and erased all evidence. While being angry with King Jing in his heart, he also breathed a sigh of relief, opened his eyes and looked at Liu Shouyoudao:
"The squire of the Ministry of Works was drowned in the green."
"Yes!" Liu Shouyou replied with lowered eyes.
"Yellow Companion."
"Yes."
"Go out and tell the hundred officials that Luo Xin's assassination will be handed over to the three divisions for trial."
Without evidence, Emperor Jiajing also dared to hand over the matter to the three divisions for trial, and if the murderer was not caught at that time, Emperor Jiajing could also punish the three divisions, but no matter what, Emperor Jiajing's heart was still very unhappy.
The front of the palace was quiet, and Emperor Jiajing sat quietly in the side hall, his face gloomy and tired, and said in a half-loud voice:
"Xuan Luoxin."
Luo Xin sat on a brocade stool and looked at Emperor Jiajing, who was sitting behind the imperial book. When he came to the palace today, Luo Xin felt the difference. Today, Emperor Jiajing's attitude towards him seems to be surprisingly good, and as soon as he entered the door, he gave him a brocade stool to sit on. At this time, Emperor Jiajing was sitting there with his eyes closed, so Luo Xin secretly looked at Emperor Jiajing. Then there was a slight sigh in my heart.
The years are really a pig-killing knife!
Luo Xin had never seen Emperor Jiajing forty years ago, but this current Emperor Jiajing gave him a strong sense of twilight.
In his previous life, he had read about the Great Rite Incident, and at that time, Emperor Jiajing gave him the feeling that it was a treasure knife out of the sheath. A person dared to face the officials of the whole world, that is, a person beat a group of people, and in the end he won the victory.
It is conceivable that now that this is forty years ago, Xu Jie dared to make such a fuss, I am afraid that Emperor Jiajing would have already sent him out.
However, Emperor Jiajing, who is now with his eyes closed, is tired, Emperor Jiajing is already old, so old that he has lost his ambition and has to get by.
"I'm old!" Emperor Jiajing slowly opened his eyes, but he didn't look at Luo Xin, and his eyes were even a little dull: "They can also see that I am old, and they don't take me seriously." ”
Luo Xin was silent, and at this time he could say anything. Could it be that you Emperor Jiajing are old, and the hundred officials are going to bully you? Or do you want to say that the hundred officials are not bullying you, but that you really did something wrong?
Emperor Jiajing sighed leisurely, and said slowly: "Xu Jie, Gao Gong, the two cabinet first assistants and second assistants, all grew up with my own eyes, and they were all promoted by me little by little. Why? ”
Speaking of this, Emperor Jiajing's mouth was full of anger: "Why can't you start and finish well?" But when their wings hardened, they came to persecute me? ”
Luo Xin was still silent, and Emperor Jiajing finally turned his gaze to Luo Xin, and asked in a condensed voice:
"Why don't you speak? Do you think I'm wrong? ”
"Don't dare!" Luo Xin said softly: "It's just that the minister is young, and he doesn't know the past of Lord Xu and Lord Gao, and he doesn't know how to answer His Majesty's words." ”
"Hehe......" Emperor Jiajing couldn't help laughing: "Yes, when they were officials, there was no you in this world." ”
Luo Xin's face couldn't help but darken, and then he heard Emperor Jiajing say again: "You are also grown up with my own eyes, will you be like them in the future?" ”
"No, I won't!" Luo Xin said immediately.
Emperor Jiajing's eyes narrowed slightly: "You are known as the god of the Ming Dynasty, and your wisdom is not weaker than Xu Jie's and Gao Gong's, you won't have a little speculation about your assassination, right?" ”
Luo Xin's heart was full of joy, but his face was still calm: "Your Majesty, it's not the minister and Your Majesty, no matter who is behind the person who wants to assassinate the minister, if you want to kill the minister by this means, you are underestimating the minister." The minister didn't die in the grassland back then, how could he die under this means? Therefore, even if the minister speculated something, the minister didn't mind. The worst result is that in the future, it will just be to return to the old man, but this result is because it is a good result, and the minister likes that kind of life. Although the minister is very young, the minister's heart is tired. ”
Emperor Jiajing looked at Luo Xin for a long time, sighed softly and said:
"Are you resentful?"
"Nope!" Luo Xin said categorically: "The minister is only twenty-four years old now, but he is already a fourth-grade high-ranking official, and he is waiting for the second. And Your Majesty should also know that the minister's will is not in the high-ranking officials, and if Your Majesty does not believe in the minister, the minister will resign today. ”
Emperor Jiajing closed his eyes again and said softly: "I really still believe in you, and I can only believe in you." ”
Luo Xin couldn't help but be stunned, he couldn't imagine that Emperor Jiajing would say such a thing, Luo Xin was not stunned by believing in his words, because even if Emperor Jiajing said this, it may not be Emperor Jiajing's true words, it is likely to be the emperor's technique. But to say that you can only believe him Luo Xin, this is a bit bleak.
