"This ......" Luo Xin really didn't want to put this matter on the surface, he and King Jing had revenge and grievances. But these things are just tossed in secret, and what can King Jing do on the surface?

Do you really think Emperor Jiajing will let Luo Xin go?

You're so naïve!

Emperor Jiajing opened his eyes, looked at Luo Xin, and said lightly: "Could it be that Lord Luo has been scared by the assassination?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is not a bold thing, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are doing it to solve the case, I am a left concubine of the James Mansion, the head of the Hanlin Academy, a noble person, not doing it!"

Emperor Jiajing was amused by Luo Xin's words, and scolded with a smile: "Those who pay off the nobles, don't let the steppe Tatars, Goryeo people and Japanese invaders hear it." ”

"Hey, hey, hey......" Luo Xin sat there pretending to be stupid.

Emperor Jiajing sighed and said: "I know that you don't like trouble, but when you were assassinated for the first time, I had already sent Jinyiwei and Dongchang to investigate, who knows what not only did not investigate anything, but you were blown up by explosives in Changling again." I personally sent Liu Shouyou to go, but I still didn't find anything, and you were ambushed by the rogue again. The minister who assassinated me three times and twice, what is the face of the court? ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Jiajing stared at Luo Xin and said, "Are you disappointed in me?" ”

"Absolutely not!" Luo Xin immediately denied: "I like the current Qinggui position very much. ”

"Hehe......" Emperor Jiajing smiled lightly and said: "You fought in the south and the north, made such great contributions, and solved the finances of the Ming Dynasty, but I didn't reward you much, let you sit on the cold bench in the James Mansion all the time, don't you have resentment in your heart?" ”

"Why resent?" Luo Xin made a puzzled look: "The minister likes it very much, besides, didn't Your Majesty just let me take charge of the Hanlin Academy?" I think this is because His Majesty knows people and understands the minister, so he lets the minister do the favorite thing, and the minister is too late to be grateful. ”

Emperor Jiajing looked at Luo Xin in a daze, and then was speechless in his heart. Secretly said in my heart:

"This Luo Xin...... is really a person who likes to learn and doesn't like politics. ”

After pondering for a while, he said, "However, it is undeniable that you are the pillar of the Ming Dynasty. If it weren't for you, Xu Jie and Gao Gong wouldn't be able to solve my troubles. Let's talk frankly with each other. ”

"Good!" Luo Xin still looked confused and nodded.

Emperor Jiajing closed his eyes and rested for a while, and when he closed his eyes, Luo Xin took a closer look at Emperor Jiajing and found that Emperor Jiajing was really old, and his face was full of exhaustion, really like a tiger who had lost his claws. As soon as Emperor Jiajing's eyelids moved, Luo Xin lowered his eyes, and Emperor Jiajing looked at Luo Xin and said:

"You are very good, you are not shocked, you have the essence of the pillar of any dynasty in history. I will tell you the truth, even if your merits are not inferior to those of the famous ministers and generals of any dynasty in history, but you have not obtained the status of those famous ministers and generals in history. You don't deny that, do you? ”

Luo Xin pretended to be thoughtful, and then laughed purly and said:

"It's true! I didn't expect that ministers would be able to do things as high as those famous ministers and generals in history. ”

"You're really an afterthought!" Emperor Jiajing looked at Luo Xin speechlessly: "In this way, anyone should have resentment, right?" ”

Luo Xin tilted his head and thought for a moment, then nodded: "I don't know what others will think, but most people should have resentment, right?" However, for the minister, it is difficult to buy a thousand dollars, I just like the idle and noble life now. ”

Emperor Jiajing looked at Luo Xin with some helplessness and said: "You like a quiet and noble life, but I don't have a reward for my merits, doesn't it cold the hearts of hundreds of officials?" ”

Seeing that Luo Xin was about to speak again, Emperor Jiajing hurriedly waved his hand and stopped Luo Xin, for fear that Luo Xin would say something that would make him helpless, he must have the right to speak today, and he can't let Luo Xin go astray.

"I haven't given you the reward you deserve, and it's true that I'm deliberately suppressing you, do you know why?"

"Because Your Majesty understands the minister, and knows that the minister likes a noble life." Luo Xin looked at Emperor Jiajing with a gaze that we are confidants.

Emperor Jiajing couldn't wait to raise his hand to give himself a slap, he had nothing to ask him for, just say no to himself and it would be over?

He sighed in his heart and said, "I did this for your ......."

"The minister knows, of course Your Majesty is thinking about the minister, because Your Majesty knows that the minister likes the noble ......"

"Shut up!" Emperor Jiajing drank suddenly, and his head was bruised.

"Oh!" Luo Xin closed his mouth, looking like I was waiting for you to say.

Emperor Jiajing couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, he always felt that things didn't go according to his own rhythm and didn't achieve the results he wanted, but he had to keep talking.

"The main thing is that you are too young, but you are too sharp. There is a way that the wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind, and the people will be destroyed by the crowd. If I elevate your position, it will be a disservice to you, a killing. Do you understand? ”

What else can Luo Xin say?

Immediately, he said with a suddenly realized expression: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Jiajing nodded with satisfaction and said, "But I can't let the hundred officials see me as a person who is unkind. ”

Luo Xin secretly said, you are not unkind, and there is no unkindness among the emperors in history. Emperor Jiajing over there continued:

"Last time you repelled Goryeo, I didn't reward you, this time I will reward you, I named you a second-class marquis, how about it?"

It turned out that Luo Xin was waiting for the third level, which was another level. Don't look at such a level, but the significance is significant. Luo Xin immediately thanked him:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Huang Jin, who had been silent, also congratulated Luo Xin at this time: "Congratulations to Master Hou." ”

"Hey, hey, this is good!" Luo Xin's face also showed a bright and innocent smile.

Seeing Luo Xin's innocent and bright smile, Emperor Jiajing was also happy in his heart, to be honest, people who are getting older and older are more and more afraid of trouble, and with the passage of time, Luo Xin's ability is becoming more and more significant, and Emperor Jiajing slowly has no intention of killing Luo Xin, and wants to leave him to his son. So I was also afraid that Luo Xin would have resentment in his heart, and when he saw Luo Xin's expression, his heart was also relieved, so he asked funny:

"Why is this good?"

"The title is noble, and there are no additional things for the ministers to do."

Emperor Jiajing's expression froze, and he really wanted Luo Xin to get out, but he still endured it, and said in his heart:

"Who do you think is more suitable for the position of prince between King Yu and King Jing?"

"Your Majesty is wise and martial, and he has his own decisions."

Emperor Jiajing looked at Luo Xin inexplicably and said, "I have already said that today we monarchs and ministers are frank and honest, and we must give me an answer." ”

Luo Xin frowned tightly, looking embarrassed.

"Must be said?"

"I have to say."

"That'...... Just King Yu. ”
