Chapter 628: Receiving the Order

Thank you very much for the tipping of boyhoods99 (100)!

Sitting there thinking for a while, he shook his head, and no longer thought about the hard life of King Yu. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info thought about it and thought that he would have to run the household department tomorrow, and couldn't help but sigh.

Day 2.

Luo Xin continued to go to the Running Household Department, and then went to Yuwang's Mansion every three days. In today's Ming Dynasty, there may be someone who is more knowledgeable than Luo Xin in some aspects, but if he is more knowledgeable, no one can compare with him. Every time he got along with Yuwang, Luo Xin would tell Yuwang a lot of knowledge, and most of them were explained in the form of stories, which made Yuwang very interested and inspired, which made the relationship between Yuwang and Luo Xin deepen.

this day.

Luo Xin came back from the household department and still went to report to Xu Jie according to the rules. Shuttling through the cabinet, all the people in the cabinet looked at Luo Xin with pity. Luo Xin also knew that today was the last day of the day that Xu Jie gave him a one-month limit, and today was probably the time when Xu Jie gave him an ugly look.

Seeing the pitying eyes looking at him one by one, Luo Xin smiled bitterly, but his expression was still calm, without the slightest frustration, all the way to Xu Jie's office, and after the report, he walked in. Xu Jie looked at Luo Xin without saying a word, and Luo Xin also looked at Xu Jie, without flinching at all. The relationship between the two has been torn apart, and there is no need for Luo Xin to pretend to be a grandson, as long as he maintains basic etiquette.

Seeing Luo Xin's calm expression, Xu Jie couldn't help but gradually feel a trace of anger in his heart, and said lightly:

"Your Majesty's money for repairing the palace is coming back?"

Luo Xin said lightly: "No." ”

A hint of sneer appeared at the corner of Xu Jie's mouth: "Your Majesty asked yesterday about this time, you should go with the old man to explain to Your Majesty in person." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Jie stood up and walked towards the door. Luo Xin also followed behind without saying a word, just thinking quickly in his heart as he walked.

The last time Emperor Jiajing saw him, he didn't seem to pay much attention to repairing the palace, why did he suddenly care about this matter now?

"Could it be that Xu Jie gave himself eye medicine in front of Emperor Jiajing again?"

Just followed Xu Jie to the imperial study, Luo Xin saw Emperor Jiajing's gloomy face, and his heart sank.

"Chen, Xu Jie!"

"Minister, Luo Xin!"

"Meet Your Majesty, long live long live long live!"

"Excuse me!" Emperor Jiajing's voice sounded coldly, and after the two of them got up, Emperor Jiajing looked at Xu Jiedao coldly:

"Xu Qing, now that the hundred officials have not issued a complete salary for three months, how did you become the first assistant of the cabinet?"

"The minister is guilty!"

Xu Jie knelt down with a flushed face. At this time, he admired Yan Song in his heart, at least when Yan Song was in the cabinet, the hundred officials could still send it out, and now in the court, Xu Jie's reputation began to be bad. said that he Xu Jie is also a corrupt official, and his family has hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, but his ability is not as good as Yan Song, and he only cares about his enjoyment, completely ignoring hundreds of officials.

What is Qianli an official for?

Isn't it just for a piece of money?

Now it's good, even the money is incomplete, and the officials are already surging in the dark. Xu Jie is having a very bad time these days, and his hair is half gray. He was angry, but he couldn't put it out.

Can the situation in Daming be the same as when Yan Song was in power?

The north has just been almost killed, burned and robbed by Huang Taiji. This year's crops should not be harvested at all, and the taxes should not be collected. Moreover, the court also allocated funds to help the north recover, and even so, the north is now a barren country, and people are starving to death every day. And seeing that it is about to enter the winter, when the army of Huangtaiji passed by, but what they saw was burned, and now the people in the north do not say that they are eating, or they don't even have a place to live, if they wait until the winter comes, I am afraid that they will immediately freeze to death. The situation is so bad that if we can't solve the housing problem before the winter comes, I am afraid that riots will break out at that time.

But will he be able to say these words? Does it work? Isn't that what your cabinet chief assistant is trying to do to solve these problems? Can't solve it, you still be the first assistant of the desert? Is it good to change someone?

Now the wind direction of the court is very unfavorable to Xu Jie, and there is already a saying circulating in the capital, that is, if Gao Gong is allowed to serve as the first assistant of the cabinet, he must do better than Xu Jie, in this case, how dare Xu Jieyou pour bitter water? If he dares to pour bitter water and pass it on to Emperor Jiajing, I am afraid that Emperor Jiajing will immediately say:

"Okay, since you can't be the first assistant of the cabinet, let's change the high arch."

At this time, Xu Jie knelt on the ground, his heart was full of powerlessness, Emperor Jiajing above did not say a word, the imperial study became silent, and the stagnant atmosphere was like water, and even Luo Xin, who was standing on the side, felt the pressure. Then Xu Jie was reprimanded by Emperor Jiajing, and I am afraid that he will not be able to hide.

Sure enough, Emperor Jiajing's voice sounded coldly again: "Luo Xin, you have been running away for a long time, right?" ”

"Yes!" Luo Xin lowered his head and whispered.

"It's almost winter, and you want me to live in this ventilated house on all sides?"

"The minister is guilty!" Luo Xin also knelt down, but he was secretly scolding in his heart, you are also a ventilated house? What are the grass huts where the people of the Northland live?

"Tobe, you don't have to run!" Emperor Jiajing said lightly.

Luo Xin's heart was overjoyed, but then Emperor Jiajing's words made him speechless: "The matter of repairing this longevity palace for me will be handed over to you, no matter what method you use, you must repair it for me." ”

"The money?"

"You go figure it out." Emperor Jiajing said coldly.

Luo Xin couldn't help scratching his head, and then asked, "Is that what the minister can do?" ”

"As long as you don't break the rules, you can do whatever you want." A trace of curiosity flashed in Emperor Jiajing's eyes, and he found that when Luo Xin heard his request, there was no panic or embarrassment on his face, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart:

"Is there really anything this kid can do?"

"Rules!" Luo Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Then Weichen can borrow the signboard of 'Royal', right?" ”

Emperor Jiajing frowned and asked with some puzzlement, "Borrow the royal signboard?" How to borrow? ”

"It's to let everyone in the world know that this is to repair the palace for the royal family."

"This was supposed to repair the palace for the royal family, yes."

"Also, this matter is not something that the minister can do alone......"

"Who do you want?"

"Zhou Yu......" Luo Xin was not polite, and directly pointed out the names of the other eight people of Jinyang Jiujie, and Emperor Jiajing also played them one by one.

"Your Majesty, the minister has gone down and figured out a way."

"Go ahead!" After the words fell, Emperor Jiajing glanced at Xu Jie and said, "You can also step down, I don't want to see hundreds of officials unable to pay for it next month." ”

"Yes, the old minister retired."

Xu Jie and Luo Xin walked out of the imperial study, Xu Jie walked in front, and Luo Xin walked behind. Both men walked with their heads down, each thinking about their own things. Xu Jie, who was suddenly walking in front, slowed down his steps and said lightly:

"Do you know who nominated you to Your Majesty?"

"Isn't that you?" Luo said secretly in confidence, but on the surface he still shook his head and said:

"I don't know!"

"High arch!" Xu Jie spit out two words lightly, and then quickened his pace to leave.

Looking at Xu Jie's back, Luo Xin understood. Gao Gong still wants to leave the capital by himself. Although he currently has the support of Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing's support for him is far less than his support for Xu Jie.

What does this mean?

This shows that Emperor Jiajing is still not at ease with Gao Gong and Luo Xin, and is afraid that Gao Gong and Luo Xin will join forces. That is to say, if Luo Xin does not leave the capital for a day, Emperor Jiajing's support for Gao Gong will not increase, and once he finds that Gao Gong is bigger, he will turn to support Xu Jie. There will definitely not be a high arch or Xu step that supported Yan Song before.

So, if conditions permit, will Emperor Jiajing support Gao Gong or Xu Jie, as he did when he supported Yan Song?

Whether it is Gao Gong or Xu Jie, in fact, he has a very thorough understanding of Emperor Jiajing's character, Emperor Jiajing is a person who is afraid of trouble, in order to cultivate the Tao, he can give everything to Yan Song. This caused Yan Song to monopolize the government and tilt his power towards the government and the opposition. And now that Emperor Jiajing, who is getting older, he feels that he seems to have a short life, at this time he is more urgent about cultivation, hoping to prolong his life with the help of cultivation, so Gao Gong and Xu Jie are very clear in their hearts that if Emperor Jiajing can find a person worthy of his trust, he does not need to be very trusted, only needs to have six to eight points of trust, he will definitely lose the government to that person, and Emperor Jiajing will go to cultivate the Tao. Because Emperor Jiajing has reached the point of obsession with cultivation.

Emperor Jiajing included Gao Gong in the cabinet, just to conduct an assessment through the comparison between Gao Gong and Xu Jie, and whoever of these two people passed his assessment, he would throw the government to. This was originally Emperor Jiajing's plan.

But......

Now Luo Xin was born, which made Emperor Jiajing very jealous.

If Luo Xin was just a simple literati, Emperor Jiajing would not only not be afraid, but would also be very happy, and would treat Luo Xin as the first assistant in the future and leave it to his son.

However, Luo Xin was not a simple literati. Not only is it not, but it has a very high prestige in the army, and is praised as the god of war by the Ming Dynasty.

No matter how high the prestige of the literati is, no matter how great the power given to him by Emperor Jiajing, no matter how powerful that literati is, Emperor Jiajing is not afraid. is like Yan Song, who monopolizes the government and the opposition, and leans towards the government and the opposition.

But, so what?

Didn't Emperor Jiajing say a word and collapse with a bang?

Because Emperor Jiajing knew in his heart that the literati had no basis for rebellion, their rise and fall of honor and disgrace depended on their own words, and if they were given favor, they would be in power. Otherwise, it will knock them into the dust, and they will not have the slightest ability to resist.

However, the warriors are different.

The martial arts are chaotic, which is the reason why the emperors of all dynasties are afraid of it. Therefore, Emperor Jiajing was very jealous of Luo Xin. As long as Luo Xin is here, it is impossible for him to give Gao Gong and Xu Jie's truly fair assessment.

Does Xu Jie understand this?

Of course he understood, but he knew that Emperor Jiajing wanted to make radical moves by suppressing Luo Xin and causing resentment in Luo Xin's heart, so that Emperor Jiajing would take thunderous actions against Luo Xin and really pull Luo Xin out. Therefore, he firmly implemented Emperor Jiajing's thoughts, but found that Luo Xin was not at all like a sixteen-year-old person, but like a sixty-year-old person, who was truly able to forbear.

To be honest, seeing Luo Xin's forbearance, Xu Jie was scared. He was afraid that once Luo Xin survived this most difficult period, he would take revenge on him in the future.

However, there is no way for him. On one side is Emperor Jiajing, and on the other side is Luo Xin, he naturally chose Emperor Jiajing.

Gao Gong was much smarter than Xu Jie in this regard, he did not choose to join forces with Xu Jie to suppress Luo Xin, nor did he choose to join forces with Luo Xin, but instead came up with a way to let Luo Xin leave the capital. However, he found that Luo Xin didn't seem to have any intention of leaving the capital at all. Especially after being named the right Zhongyun of Zhan Shifu by Emperor Jiajing in the past month and becoming the teacher of King Yu, it seems that Luo Xin has no intention of leaving the capital, so he is in a hurry.

Because he knew that if Luo Xin didn't leave the capital for a day, Emperor Jiajing would not give him and Xu Jie's real assessment. In other words, only Luo Xin died...... Or if he leaves the capital, Emperor Jiajing's assessment of him and Xu Jie's will really begin, and the battle between him and Xu Jie's will really begin.

Under this thought, Gao Gong finally couldn't help it, and when he and Xu Jie met with Emperor Jiajing to discuss financial difficulties, Gao Gong pretended to say that Luo Xin was good at financial management, thinking that Luo Xin's family was poor at the beginning, but Luo Xin was able to make his family rich in a very short time.

No one knows more about Luo Xin's affairs than Emperor Jiajing. I think that at the beginning, he had investigated Luo Xin's ancestors for eight generations, but now when he heard Gao Gong say this, he recalled it again, and felt that it was really like this for a while.

And Emperor Jiajing thought about it seriously and felt that this was really a solution to Luo Xin. If Luo Xin is really good at managing money, send Luo Xin out and let him leave the capital to make money for himself. In this way, Luo Xin was far away from the center of the court, and his influence was bound to decrease.

Well!

sent Luo Xin to the south, so that Luo Xin was not only far away from the center of the court, but also far away from the north, and Luo Xin's influence in the army was mainly in the north. In this way, Luo Xin will slowly lose influence on the government and the military. If Luo Xin is completely tied up with the job of making money, so that Luo Xin has no energy to take care of anything else, Luo Xin's threat can be completely solved. The most important thing is that it can also solve the financial problems of the Ming Dynasty, and now Emperor Jiajing is so poor that he is going crazy.

Not to mention that Luo Xin is still so low-key, even if Luo Xin is high-profile, in this case of Daming, Emperor Jiajing will tolerate it, and let Luo Xin make money for him first.

It's just that...... Is Luo Xin really good at managing money?

Emperor Jiajing was not so confused that listening to the wind is rain, so he was still ready to conduct an assessment of Luo Xin first. The questions of the assessment are all ready-made, that is, let Luo Xin solve the source of money for the repair of Wanshou Palace, as long as Luo Xin can solve this problem, it proves that Luo Xin is good at financial management. That's why Luo Xin was summoned today.
