Chapter 1248: Undercurrent

"Luo Xin, what's the clue about this matter?"

"Not yet." Luo Xin shook his head honestly, and then said, "Your Majesty, can you ignore this matter." ”

"Why?" Emperor Jiajing looked at Luo Xin with deep eyes.

"Too tired!" Luo Xin complained appropriately.

Emperor Jiajing's deep gaze warmed up: "No, only you can handle this matter, with your prestige in the army, there will be much less backlash in the army." ”

Luo Xin sighed in his heart, already knowing in his heart that even if Xu Jie and Gao Gong did not recommend him, Emperor Jiajing would let him be in charge of this matter. And Emperor Jiajing doesn't care about disarmament or not, all he cares about is letting himself offend the military and become enemies with the military, so that Emperor Jiajing can really rest assured of himself. Without the support of the military, and even if the military regards Luo Xin as an enemy, it is impossible to do what Luo Xin wants to do in the future.

While Luo Xin sighed in his heart, he also knew that Emperor Jiajing really had no killing intent towards himself now, otherwise he would not have roasted himself on this fire.

This matter can no longer be shirked, if it is resigned, Emperor Jiajing will definitely think that I have already said it so clearly, and you must have different intentions if you still refuse. And Luo Xin has long felt that the system of Damingwei played a vital role in the early days of the founding of the country, but now it has been eroded and is out of step with the times.

The army is used to fight, even in peacetime, it is necessary to go to the border once or twice for military exercises to show off the muscles, which is the foundation of the country.

As it is now, the soldiers have become peasants, what is this?

Moreover, the state still has to allocate funds to these peasants every year, and the peasants, who do not receive these state funds, are all embezzled from top to bottom, and it does not matter if they are corrupt, and they also call these soldiers like domestic slaves, and these soldiers live a life without enough food and clothing.

Is this still a military man?

Will such a soldier still be able to fight?

It is no wonder that dozens of pirates were able to kill thousands of guards and flee in all directions.

This system of guards should be over.

With these two reasons, Luo Xin nodded and said, "The minister obeys the order." It's just that this thing didn't happen overnight. ”

"I know, you can deal with it slowly. Three or five years, I can wait, just don't bother me. ”

Luo Xin couldn't help shaking his head, this Emperor Jiajing was really old, and he didn't want to have any trouble at all, so he couldn't help but joke:

"After the minister has dealt with this big trouble, Your Majesty should not trouble the minister anymore, okay?"

Emperor Jiajing's face was tense, but he couldn't help but smile in the end.

"I really know that you don't want to be an official and don't like trouble, I promise you, I will try not to look for you in the future, and you will live the life of your servant in the Ministry of Rites leisurely."

"Your Majesty."

"Let's go."

"The minister retired."

Seven days passed.

In Luo Xin's duty room, Fan Yingzhi stood in front of Luo Xin and said with a sad face:

"My lord, this will not work. There are too many lobbyists from all walks of life. ”

"You can't get angry with people, or you can't see each other, right?" Luo Xin held the teacup and said: "This matter was originally a matter of offending people, if we offend all the people who make it clear, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military, will anyone still look at us in the future?" I'm afraid that whoever sees us will give us a big roll of the eye. ”

"Your Excellency!" At this time, a scribe walked in, and Shi Li said, "There is a person outside who said that he was your nephew and asked to see your lordship. ”

"My nephew?" Luo Xin frowned slightly, this nephew naturally won't be Luo Sheng's son, even if Luo Sheng's son can come from Taiwan, can he come to see him?

How old is he?

Four years old!

These days, Luo Xin has not seen these nephews of his own, where did these nephews come from?

They are all the sons or juniors of some military generals, and these generals naturally dare not return to Beijing without a holy decree, but they can send their juniors here.

When they first heard that they wanted to disarm, they were stunned, and some people even had the idea of rebellion in their hearts, but later they heard that Luo Xin was presiding over the matter, and these people had hope in their hearts. In the hearts of these generals, don't look at Luo Xin's current appointment as the left concubine of the James Mansion, the head of the Hanlin Academy, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, these are all serious civil officials. However, these generals stubbornly believe that Luo Xin is a military general, and he is also the head of the general.

What is the head of a generation of military gods who are not military generals?

And Luo Xin's reputation in the army is very good, he has never been greedy for credit in the army, but often gives away the credit, so when these people heard that Luo Xin was presiding over the matter, they all felt that Luo Xin would not harm them. But this heart is not at the bottom, so they have sent their juniors to find Luo Xin, they also know that Luo Xin is not short of money, and he has never been greedy, so these people did not bring any gold and silver treasures to Luo Xin, but brought Luo Xin a lot of local products, and some literary toys, calligraphy and paintings. They all came here to find out some news from Luo Xin.

These nephews are here, and Luo Xin is not easy to face, after all, their parents are all friends who followed Luo Xin to fight on the battlefield. Therefore, these days, Luo Xin has been drinking with these nephews, and today I heard another nephew, Luo Xin not only has a headache, but then a headache, but no matter how much headache he has, he has to see it, so he said:

"Let him in."

After a while, a man who was much older than Luo Xin, and was almost forty years old, walked in and saluted Luo Xin:

"I've seen my uncle!"

Luo Xin couldn't help but pat his head and said, "Why are you here?" ”

The person who came was none other than Ma Fang's second son, Ma Lin. Ma Fang has two sons, the eldest son Ma Dong, who followed Ma Fang in Xuanfu at this time, leaving Ma Lin at home. Luo Xin once went to Ma Fang's house, so he naturally knew Ma Fang's two sons. And Luo Xin and Ma Fang are commensurate with each other, and Ma Lin naturally calls Luo Xin uncle.

"This ...... My father also wanted to ask my uncle about whether this disarmament would involve the border pass? ”

"What kind of fun is Brother Ma doing?" Luo Xin said speechlessly: "Do you have to let me treat you to a meal?" ”

"Don't dare!" Marin's face turned red, and he also knew that Luo Xin had invited those nephews to dinner these days.

"Then get out of here!" Luo Xin and Ma Fang knew each other very well, and they didn't treat Ma Lin as an outsider, so they waved their hands.

Luo Xin didn't treat Marin as an outsider, and Marin didn't treat Luo Xin as an outsider, but when he heard the words, he didn't leave, but said with a smile:

"Uncle, you haven't talked to your nephew about disarmament yet."

"Fuck off, can you say this casually? Uncle is annoyed enough, go back and write to your father, don't make trouble for me. ”
