Luo Xin muttered to himself in distraction: "How can I explain this to my uncle......"
Hu Zongxian sighed softly, how to whisper the order to return. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Luo Xin stood at the bow of the boat in a daze, without saying a word.
For three days, Luo Xin, accompanied by Hu Zongxian, searched everywhere for Luo Sheng's ship, but still found no trace. When he returned to the naval camp on the evening of the third day, he learned that the imperial envoy had arrived at the Suzhou Governor's Palace.
Hu Zongxian resigned to Luo Xin, and Luo Xin also sadly gave up looking for Luo Sheng. His eldest brother Luo Qing also had a sad face on the side. Luo Qing was also to be rewarded, so he went to Suzhou with Hu Zongxian, while Luo Xin returned to Hangzhou lonely after saying goodbye to Hu Zongxian.
Luo Xin returned to Hangzhou City, so he locked himself in the study and did not come out, and the people in the City Department knew that Luo Xin's cousin had an accident, and the officials who originally wanted to find Luo Xin to complain about the prefect's yamen also stopped, but they were already depressed, and they did not go to the prefect's yamen to urge for supplies, and the entire city was shrouded in a layer of frustration and decadence. Every now and then another official sighed, and they saw no hope, feeling that in a few days, the city might be closed.
Two days later.
Lu Daqing came to Luo Xin's study, and then saw Luo Xin walk out of the study and welcome an old eunuch at the door. After the guest and host sat down, Luo Xin said with a smile:
"I didn't expect that the messenger who came to read the holy decree was Gonggong Huang."
Huang Jin's eyes showed a look of concern and said, "I heard that your cousin had an accident?" β
"Hmm!" Luo Xin restrained the smile on his face, sighed and said, "I'm afraid that there will be less luck." β
"Please mourn!"
Luo Xin smiled bitterly, stabilized his emotions and said, "Gonggong Huang brought His Majesty's will?" β
Huang Jin shook his head and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have any will, just let me ask you, how is the matter of the City Ship Division?" β
"Please also ask Gonggong Huang to return to Your Majesty, everything is going well."
"Smooth?" Huang Jin looked at Luo Xin strangely and said, "I heard that the docks have been stopped for almost ten days. β
"It's just a small thing, and it will be resolved soon." Luo Xin said lightly.
"A trifle?" Huang Jin smiled and said, "The thing Your Majesty handed over to you is not a trivial matter. How long has it been since the opening of the city? You have been suspended for nearly ten days since you built the dock, do you think it will be a small matter to delay Your Majesty's affairs? β
"There will be no delay, and I would like to ask Gonggong Huang to return to His Majesty, and he will definitely live up to His Majesty's high expectations."
"No!"
Huang Jin shouted, his face showed regret, he was sent by Emperor Jiajing this time, saying that it was to reward the three armies, but it was better to come to inspect Luo Xin. It's just a reward for the three armies, just send someone at random, for Emperor Jiajing, Hu Zongxian only exterminated some of the Japanese at this time, it was already a little late, and it was already a little unhappy for Emperor Jiajing. If Hu Zongxian was delaying for a while, Emperor Jiajing might have arrested Hu Zongxian and put him in the capital prison.
Although this victory was not small, and there were many Japanese robbers, but through Hu Zongxian's recital, Emperor Jiajing could also see that there were very few real Japanese robbers eliminated by Hu Zongxian, and in fact, almost all of them were fake Japanese pirates, that is, pirates.
There is no problem with pirates, in the eyes of Emperor Jiajing, pirates are more hateful than real widows, who are foreign ronins, and pirates are the rebellious Ming people. So they deserve to be killed, and it is a great achievement to kill them.
However, it is a pity that these killed pirates are all unknown people, they are all small groups of pirates, the rabble is gathered, the real pirates, like Wang Zhi, like Xu Hai, Hu Zongxian has not hurt them in the slightest, this is what Emperor Jiajing is displeased.
Okay!
Emperor Jiajing spends millions of military salaries every year, just for you to kill some rabble? What's the use of such a rabble killing more? If it weren't for the fact that he killed a lot this time, Emperor Jiajing would not have given a reward.
Therefore, this time, Emperor Jiajing sent his most trusted Huang Jin to the southeast, not for a reward at all, or to say a thing by the way, or in the name of rewarding, in fact, to investigate Luo Xin.
Emperor Jiajing is poor now! He put the treasure on Luo Xin's body, although he did not give Luo Xin the money to establish the city division, but he gave Luo Xin a five-grade official, which is definitely an exceptional promotion in the history of the Ming Dynasty, a junior who has just entered the officialdom for more than a year, and ascended to the position of the five-grade official, and it is also the fifth grade, which is already the middle-level force of the Ming officialdom.
In particular, Emperor Jiajing also gave Luo Xin a holy decree, which can kill officials with three grades, in this small place in the southeast, with this holy decree, I am afraid that except for Hu Zongxian, Luo Xin can be killed.
Emperor Jiajing made such a big bet, naturally he was very concerned about the situation of the city, he hoped that he would be in a tight position for a year, and at the end of the year, Luo Xin would be able to give him a big gift. This is the true intention of Emperor Jiajing to send Huang Jin to the southeast.
And Huang Jin is also happy to come to the southeast, not because he is greedy for the prosperity of the southeast, but because he values Luo Xin. As a person close to Emperor Jiajing, no one understands Luo Xin's growth process better than him. In his opinion, Luo Xin's growth is a miracle.
When he first entered the science field, he was suppressed by Yan Song, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, and at the same time encountered the conspiracy of another giant, Xu Jie, but he broke through and moved Yan Song to move, which is Luo Xin's wisdom. It is not terrible for a person to have knowledge, but it is terrible to transform learning into wisdom.
After entering the officialdom, Luo Xin broke Huang Taiji's 200,000 army and set up a peerless cause, but he was also feared by Emperor Jiajing. Huang Jin knew very well in his heart that Emperor Jiajing had murderous intentions towards Luo Xin several times. However, it was in this situation that Huang Jindu thought that Luo Xin had no way out, because he knew Emperor Jiajing too well, and once Emperor Jiajing decided something, it would be difficult to change it, and it was only a matter of time.
But......
In this situation, which Huang Jin thought was a dead end, Luo Xin revealed another talent of his:
Financial!
This couldn't help but make Emperor Jiajing's heart pound, and he had to let go of the killing thoughts in his heart, add an official to Luo Xin, and send him to the southeast, so that Luo Xin broke through the net and opened the sky.
In several desperate situations, Luo Xin was able to get out leisurely, which could not but make Huang Jin pay attention. He is very clear about his situation, and he knows that Emperor Jiajing will not live long, and he often even has a feeling that once Emperor Jiajing sleeps, he will never wake up.
He is the absolute confidant of Emperor Jiajing, and I don't know how many people he has killed for Emperor Jiajing in this life. Once Emperor Jiajing dies, the newly enthroned emperor will definitely not use him, it is not easy for him to die well, and he can't say that he can't die well.
His heart is in a hurry!
He had to find a way back for himself and a way to survive for himself. And Luo Xin is the candidate he is optimistic about, he values Luo Xin not because of Luo Xin's knowledge, nor because of Luo Xin's status as a military god, but because of Luo Xin's wisdom. He is now a little suspicious, Emperor Jiajing will not be Luo Xin's opponent in the end, Luo Xin will definitely be able to live well, even if Emperor Jiajing dies, he Luo Xin will also live well.
This thought even Huang Jin himself felt frightened, you must know that he has been following Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing suddenly succeeded to the throne from the son of a young vassal king, and the scholars competed, and finally won the victory, began the career of the dictatorship of the Ming Dynasty, in Huang Jin's heart, Emperor Jiajing has always been a god, but he didn't expect that now he had the idea that Emperor Jiajing was not Luo Xin's opponent in his heart, how could this not make him frightened?
But......
This thought is so clear, so indelible.
It was with this thought that he came to the southeast, came to the southeast with the task of Emperor Jiajing to investigate Luo Xin, and actually came to the southeast with his selfish desire to befriend Luo Xin.
This time he went to the southeast, but found that the dock had been stopped for nearly ten days, which couldn't help but make Huang Jin anxious. He couldn't hide it for Luo Xin, he didn't dare to hide it, and he couldn't hide it. He believed that it wouldn't be long before this matter would be sent to Emperor Jiajing's desk by Jinyiwei.
How good is that?
He came to make friends with Luo Xin, he came to help Luo Xin, he didn't want to wait until he returned to the capital, and Emperor Jiajing's punishment of Luo Xin came down, so that Luo Xin misunderstood that he reported to Emperor Jiajing. Therefore, he sincerely called Luo Xindao:
"No, let's tell you the truth, I came to the southeast this time to reward the three armies just by the way, and the real purpose is to come to inspect you on the orders of His Majesty. Now that you have stopped building a dock, how can you report to Your Majesty? β
Luo Xin's eyes lit up and said, "By the way, Gonggong Huang, how many products has my eldest brother been sealed?" β
"Your eldest brother has been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General of the Fourth Grade. I said no, you don't care about your eldest brother, to say something unpleasant, what's the use of your eldest brother's grade being improved? Even if you do it, it's a military attachΓ©. The Ming Dynasty is the world of civil officials, and the military attache of the first rank was impeached by the imperial history, and the people who were finally killed abound in the history of the Ming Dynasty. The prosperity of your Luo family is completely pinned on you alone, you prosper, Luo Jiaxing, you die, Luo family dies. Therefore, Luo Qing is promoted, he himself, or your family is happy, you have nothing to be happy about at all. You have to think about yourself now. No, now you have reached a dangerous juncture again, if you can't pass this level, Your Majesty will ...... Your Majesty, he ......"
"What will happen to Your Majesty?" Luo Xin asked lightly.
Huang Jin's expression showed hesitation and struggle, and finally took the upper hand with his life, gritted his teeth and said:
"No, in the next words, our family is at the risk of killing the head, and you should also know that your achievements are high, which makes Your Majesty jealous."
Luo Xin still nodded lightly, seeing Luo Xin's indifferent look, Huang Jin thought that Luo Xin didn't believe it, and said anxiously:
"No, don't believe it, Your Majesty has already had murderous intentions against you a few times."
Luo Xin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he secretly said in his heart: "Sure enough! β
"No!" Huang Jin saw that Luo Xin's expression did not change, and continued:
"If it weren't for the fact that you didn't spend a penny of copper money to repair the Wanshou Palace this time, and you earned hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, revealing your ability to manage money, I'm afraid you would not have died soon. Financial management is your last surviving capital. If you fail to run the market this time, Your Majesty will have a reason to punish you, I'm afraid you ...... will be killed by His Majesty. No, haven't you realized the seriousness of the matter? How can you still be in the mood to care about your eldest brother's promotion? Once you're dead, your big brother counts as a piece of. β
Huang Jin was so anxious that he even said the dirty words, but Luo Xin smiled, he could feel that Huang Jin was sincere to him at this time, which made him very happy. Now outside the palace, he has a dart bureau, can collect the world's news, at this point, is not inferior to Jinyiwei and Dongchang, over time, even to surpass Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and Tang Zhuang has begun to insert some people into the mansion of Ming officials and wealthy families in accordance with Luo Xin's intentions, Luo Xin's news channels are getting more and more extensive, and the news he gets is getting more and more comprehensive, and he is no longer blind.
But......
For the most important palace, Luo Xin is at a loss, there is no news channel, now that Huang Jin has been sent to him, how can Luo Xin not be excited?
No matter what Huang Jin's purpose is, if he said these words to him today, he has already been tied to Luo Xin, and Huang Jin will be his eyes and ears in the palace in the future, making up for the last shortcoming, so that he occupies a favorable position in the battle with Emperor Jiajing. To this day, Luo Xin's nervous heart finally relaxed, and he looked at Huang Jin with a smile and said softly:
"Grandpa Huang, can I ask you, why are you so open and honest with me?"
Huang Jin was silent, although he befriended Luo Xin, but he wanted to make friends in a gracious way, so that Luo Xin could be grateful, so that Luo Xin could help him when he was down. If you completely fold the hole cards to Luo Xin, the effect will naturally be much worse. However, now Huang Jin has no choice.
On the surface, Luo Xin's situation is very dangerous, but in fact, Huang Jin feels that his situation is even more dangerous than Luo Xin. After pondering for a while, he was thinking about whether Luo Xin could be relied on, thinking about it, he suddenly felt that no matter whether Luo Xin could be relied on or not, he seemed to have only Luo Xin's choice, first of all, he couldn't count on Gao Gong at all, Gao Gong was very arrogant, and there was no one in his eyes in the whole Ming Dynasty, even Xu Jie, he couldn't look down on him, and it was even more impossible to look down on him as a eunuch, even if he helped Gao Gong again, after Emperor Jiajing died in the future, Gao Gong would throw him aside like garbage.
What about Xu Jie?
Xu Jie is even more unbelievable, in Huang Jin's view, although he is arrogant, he is still a gentleman, and his attitude is shown on the bright side, and if he doesn't look down on you, he doesn't look down on you. But Xu Jie is different, in Huang Jin's eyes, Xu Jie is a villain and a poisonous snake. Such a person is absolutely not to be trusted.
In addition to these two people, Huang Jin feels that he will be able to make a big difference in the future, and he will be able to play a pivotal role in the Ming Dynasty, and there are two other people who can help him, one is Zhang Juzheng, and the other is Luo Xin.
However, Zhang Ju was Xu Jie's disciple, and Huang Jin ruled out this possibility. So only Luo Xin remained. Thinking of this, Huang Jin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and finally spoke:
"No, what do you think of the situation that my Lao Huang is facing now?"
