Luo Xin looked at Feng Bao and said, "Gonggong Feng, do you really want to go to the road of Wang Zhen, Wang Zhi and Liu Jin?" ”

Feng Bao sweated through his clothes, he didn't want to die, he didn't want to die like Wang Zhen, Wang Zhi and Liu Jin. And think about it at this time, if you really let yourself go on like this, you will really die.

Luo Xin looked at Emperor Longqing again and said, "Your Majesty still remembers the change in Tumu Fort, right?" ”

Emperor Longqing is face changed, and the change of Tumubao was too close to him, and it has always been a shame for the Ming Dynasty. At this moment, Emperor Longqing was really scared. The expression on his face changed for a long time, and finally he spoke with some frustration:

"Master Luo, are you saying that I listen to and believe partially?"

Luo Xin nodded and said, "Your Majesty has recently taken the initiative to close the contact with the outer court, and I resist hearing the voice of the outer court in my heart. ”

"But ......" Emperor Longqing's face suddenly showed a layer of flush and said, "You have also seen how they bullied me." It is said that the emperor is a dictator, but when it is my turn, it is not at all. In the court, they talked endlessly, their mouths were like a river, and they even scolded me, completely ignoring me.

I don't know how to govern, but I can't just open my mouth, and I don't care if what I say is right or not, and I can quote scriptures and criticize me.

Does this still look like being a courtier? ”

The more Emperor Longqing spoke, the more angry he became, and he stood up, it seemed that he had been holding back for a long time, and no one had listened to him, but now he caught Luo Xin, and he was a person he trusted, so he poured out all the words in his heart. ’

"Then I don't speak, I don't go to court, this is all right, right?

But look at what those so-called courtiers did?

They accuse me of being greedy for pleasure and of being lascivious, and in the long run they will surely lose power.

Daming has never had such a emperor as me, I am an emperor, I want to buy some jewelry for my concubine, how much can it cost? But what about those so-called courtiers?

Not a dime, the household department does not give a penny. And he also accused me of wasting. Even the last book impeached me.

Do they think that I do not know their virtues?

One by one, they are corrupt and bribe-taking, and their hands are stretched out, but they want me to be a pure-hearted person with few desires. Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you, have they read the books of the sages in vain? ”

"If it weren't for Luo Shi solving the problem of the city and the mutual market, so that the internal money has some money, I still have no money to buy a little jewelry for the concubines.

Now that I have some money, I want to go to the outskirts of Beijing to relax. However, on the grounds of safety, they did not let me leave the palace.

What are they trying to do?

Do you raise me as a pig?

What's even more excessive is that these people actually took out the private affairs of the palace and discussed them in a grand manner, is this something they can discuss at will?

If you don't care about national affairs, but you want to take care of the private affairs of the royal palace, how low is this moral character? ”

Luo Xin was silent, in fact, he also knew in his heart that those officials were indeed excessive. Under the strong suppression of Emperor Jiajing, they have been depressed for too long, and now they are venting on Emperor Longqing. Especially at the beginning, Xu Jie, in order to crack down on Gao Gong, drove Gao Gong out of the cabinet and indulged the officials. In order to fight back against Xu Jie, Gao Gong also indulged the official, and there was no lower limit for the two sides to impeach each other. The most terrifying thing is that once this person has no lower limit, he will go further and further on the road of no lower limit.

Now that Xu Jie has been kicked out of the cabinet, Luo Xin and Gao Gong have not really torn their faces, and both sides are still restrained. Those officials couldn't find an outlet to vent, so they aimed their guns at Emperor Longqing, who had a generous and cowardly personality.

In the final analysis, a slap can't be slapped, and Emperor Longqing's connivance with the eunuchs was also forced by the officials.

Luo Xin silently listened to Emperor Longqing's complaints, he knew that he had to let Emperor Longqing make this complaint, otherwise holding it back would make Emperor Longqing go to the other extreme. After Emperor Longqing finished venting and sat there panting, Luo Xin said softly:

"It is true that there are some officials who have lost their morality, are not upright, and are grandstanding. For such a person, it must be punished. However, Your Majesty, you cannot blind yourself to anything. This was not always the case with the officials at the court. Moreover, the existence of the speech official was set up by Taizu Guangdi, who taught the emperor in class, picketed hundreds of officials, and could inspect the local officials to govern the military and government, so it is said that from national affairs to civil affairs, they are all within the scope of supervision of speech officials.

They can even hear about it without being held accountable. Taizu is like this so that future generations can be eternal.

Therefore, the emperors of all dynasties will have a tolerant heart for what they say.

His Majesty may or may not agree with the letter of the speaker, but he may not read or listen to it.

His Majesty's perception of the official is a bit one-sided, it is just a window for His Majesty to expand his hearing and hearing, so that His Majesty will not stay in the palace and become blind. And whether you agree or not is up to Your Majesty. ”

Emperor Longqing was thoughtful, Luo Xin was not in a hurry, picked up the teacup, drank tea slowly, and waited for Emperor Longqing to search for it himself.

After a long time, Emperor Longqing stretched his eyebrows, and said in a hoarse voice:

"I was wrong."

"The officials are more wrong." Luo Xin said seriously: "The essence of the current speech official is much worse than that of Taizu, there are many people who sell their reputation and reputation, and they are in the camp, these people have no lower limit in order to be famous and pleased, and they have tarnished the solemnity of the speech official, and it is time to purify." ”

When Emperor Longqing heard this, he suddenly felt like a confidant, but then he remembered what happened today, so he looked at Luo Xin and said:

"What should I do about this today?"

Luo Xin did not hesitate at all and said: "If you fight, you will fight, and the emperor's authority is serious." Let him be demoted and exiled on charges of contempt for the king. ”

"Good!"

Emperor Longqing was overjoyed in his heart, and felt from his heart that Luo Xin was still facing himself and relying on him. He immediately spoke:

"What about the prison army? There are indeed lieutenant officials supervising the army in the "Huidian". ”

Luo Xinxin understood that not to mention Emperor Longqing, no emperor would give up military power, which would make an emperor insecure. If you don't let the eunuchs supervise the army, this won't work at all. There were also political commissars in the army in later generations.

And the civil officials are called foreign ministers, and they are the objects that the emperor should be wary of. The emperor still trusted the eunuchs, because the eunuchs were the emperor's domestic slaves.

House slaves, that is, family members, their own people.

"It's not impossible, it's just that it needs to be constrained." Luo Xin looked at Emperor Longqing and said sincerely: "Your Majesty sent eunuchs to supervise the army, and its purpose is to supervise the generals so that they will not mess around. ”

"Yes!" Emperor Longqing nodded. Only by taking every move of the generals into their own hands can they have a sense of security.

"However, has Your Majesty ever thought that if the eunuchs become big in the army, they will also mess around?"

Emperor Longqing said with a grim expression: "Just like Wang Zhen? ”
