Chapter 1137: Hanlin Courtyard
The minister also remembered it, and it was also recorded in the Song Dynasty's "Mengxi Writings" that to the middle of the harmony, the toes were sacrificed. It is as big as a cow, and the whole body is big, and there is a horn on the head. ”
Everyone suddenly realized in their hearts at this time, because Luo Xin and Gao Gong both mentioned one word in their mouths, cow. Thinking about it again, it really looks like a cow when I saw that thing just now.
"Is that a foregone conclusion?" Emperor Jiajing asked in a condensed voice.
"This is not true, but although the Song Dynasty doesn't know what it is, it doesn't say that it is a unicorn."
The hall was silent again, and Luo Xin saw the hesitation on Emperor Jiajing's face, and his heart jumped, but he couldn't let Emperor Jiajing be so happy at this time, so he decided to be a unicorn. In that case, King Yu will never have a chance to turn over.
But......
can't reveal that this is not a unicorn in front of hundreds of officials, saying that this is King Jing's fraud and King Jing's bullying.
As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs!
King Jing is the son of Emperor Jiajing, no matter how bad it is, he is also the son of Emperor Jiajing. In front of the public, he exposed King Jing's deception, and Emperor Jiajing must be angry with King Jing, but he must also be angry with him Luo Xin. This matter can be said to Emperor Jiajing alone, but it cannot be said in public.
That's a slap in the royal face.
So, Luo Xin said in a condensed voice: "Your Majesty, this matter should not be careless, but there is no need to be in a hurry. You can let the adults in the court check the scriptures, and it is not too late to announce it when it is confirmed. ”
Emperor Jiajing pondered slightly, nodded and said, "Xu Jie is responsible for this matter, and if you have the exact evidence, you will show it to me." ”
"Obey." Xu Jie walked out of the class, but sighed in his heart: "If this drags on, I'm afraid there will be no result." This step was destroyed by Luo Xin again. ”
"Luo Xin, come with me and tell me about your disaster relief and banditry."
"Obey."
Luo Xin followed Emperor Jiajing back to the side hall, and Emperor Jiajing sent Huang Jin to arrange for people to surround the side hall and prevent people from coming in, and then looked at Luo Xin and said:
"You can tell it's not a Kirin, right?"
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
"What's that?"
"That's a rhinoceros, from Tianzhu."
"Rhinoceros? A cow? ”
"Hmm!"
"Do you have proof?"
Luo Xin pondered for a moment and said, "There is no evidence to prove that it is a cow, but there is evidence of fraud." ”
"Fake?" Emperor Jiajing's gaze suddenly became fierce.
"When he saw that thing in the Imperial Garden, he immediately recognized it as a rhinoceros. However, there is one thing that cannot be determined. Because the rhinoceros is not golden, the minister took advantage of the fact that everyone was leaving, circled around the rhinoceros, and secretly picked the rhinoceros body, and sure enough, it ......"
"Sure what?" Emperor Jiajing asked in a condensed voice.
"Sure enough, it's painted gold."
"Bang!" Emperor Jiajing slapped the imperial book case fiercely: "Rebel, dare to bully the king." Come. ”
"Your Majesty!" Huang Jin appeared in front of Emperor Jiajing.
"You go to the Imperial Garden and see if the rhinoceros is painted with gold paint? No, I'm going to go personally. ”
Emperor Jiajing wanted to determine with his own eyes whether his son was deceiving him, and he had to go to the Imperial Garden in person. Luo Xin had no choice but to follow, and after coming to the Imperial Garden, Emperor Jiajing waved his hand and ordered everyone to leave, leaving only Emperor Jiajing, Huang Jin and Luo Xin. Huang Jin was a little uneasy and said:
"Your Majesty, are there a few people left, that ......?"
"What are you afraid of!" Emperor Jiajing walked towards the rhinoceros and said, "There is a cage, and he can't run out." And isn't there still the Ming Army God Luo Xin here? ”
Emperor Jiajing came to the side of the rhinoceros, stretched out his hand and picked at the rhinoceros's body, and his eyes shrank, and he saw that a piece of the golden scale armor had fallen off, revealing gray. There is a wisp of gold paint inside his fingernails.
Emperor Jiajing was so angry that he trembled all over his body: "This rebel." ”
waited until Emperor Jiajing returned to the side hall, and his face was still blue with anger. Luo Xin and Huang Jin stood in front of Emperor Jiajing, exchanging glances with each other. Huang Jin secretly gave Luo Xin a thumbs up.
After a quarter of an hour passed like this, the emperors of Emperor Jiajing finally carved their emotions. looked at Luo Xin standing in front of him, and there was appreciation in his eyes.
How could he not understand in his heart at this time that Luo Xin did not say anything about the fraud above the palace for the sake of royal decency? Thinking of Luo Xin's previous things, I apologized to Luo Xin in my heart.
"No!"
"The minister is here."
"I know that you like to be pure, and you don't want to be an individual official, so I will give you the head of the Hanlin Academy, in fact, I have not been promoted, and it is also a fourth grade. But it's better to be pure, and it has a good reputation. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Luo Xin was overjoyed, the position of the head of the Hanlin Academy was not big, but it was very important, and it was a very important cornerstone before entering the cabinet. Luo Xin's father-in-law, Lu Tingfang, told him about this seriously. It's just that he never had a chance to get it. Now that he has finally got this position, it can be said that he has obtained this position, and he has basically gained a firm foothold in the Ming officialdom, so that other officials can see the future of Luo Xin, and more officials will defect to him.
From this moment on, the Ming Dynasty Hall began to change from a two-legged meeting of Xu steps and high arches to a three-legged stand. Luo Xin has the rudiments of a force. At that time, it was only a rudimentary form, and it was the weakest of the three forces.
"Huang Banban!" Emperor Jiajing looked at Huang Jin again.
"The slave is here."
"Send someone to send the rhinoceros back to King Jing, and say that I gave it to him. Needless to say, it's not auspicious. ”
"Yes!" Huang Jin went down to make arrangements.
Luo Xinzhong understood what Emperor Jiajing meant, this fake matter, Emperor Jiajing still didn't want to expose it, lost the royal face, and blurred it.
After Huang Jin also went out, Emperor Jiajing looked at Luo Xin and said, "No, Li Shizhen has been treating Zaiyuan, right?" ”
"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded.
"How's it going?"
A smile appeared on Luo Xin's face and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Yu is already pregnant. ”
"Huh?" Emperor Jiajing's face showed joy, and then he said again: "Then why didn't he tell me?" ”
"Because it has not yet been determined whether it is a man or a woman, King Yu has not made His Majesty known."
Emperor Jiajing's face jumped with joy, and he said "yes" a few times, and then his face gradually became solemn and said:
"No, what is the state of disaster relief and banditry?"
Luo Xin said calmly: "Your Majesty, now that the south has been calmed. There are no rogues, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. In three months at most, the ministers will surely pacify the north. ”
"That'...... Isn't it time to give me back 700,000 taels of silver? ”
Luo Xin smiled and said, "It's not a problem at all. ”
"That'...... Can you build the Yuxi Palace for me? Emperor Jiajing looked at Luo Xin, and said with longing in his eyes: "You can't let me, the king of the country, live in a side hall, right?" ”
