"It's not that serious, is it?" Zhang Juzheng said softly.

"How is it not serious?" Xu Jie's eyes widened suddenly, and his eyes were full of anger: "All the officials have become a joke in the mouths of the people, and the court has no majesty in the hearts of the people, and it will definitely cause chaos, and the Ming Dynasty is bound to be turbulent." ”

"That ......" Zhang Juzheng is also a wise person, but his experience is a little worse, and he was reminded by Xu Jie at this time, and immediately reacted, and his face showed a trace of panic and said:

"Teacher, we have summoned hundreds of officials to write to ......"

"No way!" Xu Jie shook his head and said: "If we go to the book, we must be completely on the opposite side of Your Majesty, then it is really a country that will not be a country." ”

"What then?" Zhang Juzheng asked urgently.

"What then?"

At this time in Luofu, Zhang Xun and others were also anxiously asking Luo Xin. Luo Xin was silent for a moment, and his face regained his calmness and said:

"There's nothing to do. Time will smooth everything out, and when the new emperor ascends the throne, he will naturally give officials a boost, so that the complaints of hundreds of officials will be eliminated, and the new emperor will no longer oppose him, but will sincerely assist the new emperor. As for the people, when the time comes, killing a few corrupt officials and publicizing a few clean officials will naturally reverse the people's impression of the new emperor and the new court. ”

Zhang Xun glanced at each other, the expressions on their faces relaxed a lot, and they thought for a moment one by one, and nodded one after another:

"Yes, but ...... If this time is long......"

"Be careful!"

Luo Xin naturally knew that they were worried that Emperor Jiajing would live longer, which would breed bigger problems. Now facing the situation, the only thing is that Emperor Jiajing dies as soon as possible. However, this cannot be said casually. Therefore, Luo Xin decisively interrupted the conversation, and told everyone again, Luo Xin was already very tired, Zhang Xun and the others got up to say goodbye, Luo Xin took a bath, went back to the bedroom to say hello to Dai'er, and fell asleep.

The next day.

Luo Xin told the big eunuch to rest for a day, and the fifty-three officials in the prison coldly, and then discussed his thoughts with the big eunuch, and the big eunuch looked happy, and gave Luo Xin a thumbs up, and then Luo Xin sent people out one by one.

Palace.

After Luo Xin and the great eunuch separated, the great eunuch hurriedly came to Emperor Jiajing's bedroom, and after meeting Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing looked at the big eunuch coldly and said:

"Why didn't you go to trial today?"

"Lord Luo said to take a day off." The great eunuch said cautiously.

"Huh?" Emperor Jiajing's face showed displeasure.

"That's ......"

The big eunuch quickly explained the matter, and Emperor Jiajing's face softened, and he thought for a moment and said:

"It's a bit of a ghostly idea, I know, go down."

Day 4.

Luo Xin still came to the prison, and according to the order, he questioned the fifty-three people again, but this time the interrogation time was much faster, almost a few minutes to interrogate one, and the fifty-three people interrogated it in one day, in fact, it was not an interrogation, but just asked them if they were willing to admit their mistakes. If you don't admit your mistake, you will take it down, and Luo Xin will never say a word.

No one was mistaken, but everyone had a very bad look on their faces, and their attitude was not so resolute. There were even a few who hesitated.

These officials were originally going to have a good reason with Luo Xin yesterday, so that Luo Xin knew that he and the others were for the sake of Daming, and even if they were imprisoned here, or even died, they would be famous for eternity. But they didn't expect that Luo Xin didn't come at all yesterday and left them to dry for a day, which made their hearts uneasy.

Waiting until today, Luo Xin finally came, they mustered up momentum, but they didn't expect that Luo Xin just asked them whether to admit their mistakes, and they were ready to refute Luo Xin, but just said a word, as long as they didn't admit their mistakes, Luo Xin asked people to take them down, and didn't give them a chance to speak at all, which made the uneasiness in their hearts magnify.

There were three of the most hesitant looks, and Luo Xin remembered their names. Then he left the prison, and while it was still dark, Luo Xin sent someone to the home of the three men and informed the family of one of the officials that they could come to visit the prison tomorrow.

And he himself made an appointment with Liu Shouyou first, and after Jia Jialou and Liu Shouyou met, he made an appointment with Huang Jin. Sure enough, the news that officials blocked the palace gate in the teahouse and wine shop in order to raise money was secretly spread from the spies of Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

Day 5.

Luo Xin and the big eunuch gathered outside the prison again, and the big eunuch bowed to Luo Xin and said:

"Lord Luo, this is the fifth day, and the emperor was already displeased yesterday."

"Alas......" Luo Xin sighed and said: "It's not good to be a bad person, it's not comfortable to be an errand!" Let's go, hopefully we can get some results today. ”

The big eunuch followed behind Luo Xin with tears and laughter, Luo Xin was unwilling to be an errand, and he had proposed his resignation with Emperor Jiajing several times, and the eunuchs in the palace knew about it. Therefore, at this time, I can't tell what Luo Xin said in his heart, or angry words. However, he also knew that he couldn't afford to mess with Luo Xin, and Huang Jin once told him to cooperate with Luo Xin and not to take ideas by himself.

Following Luo Xin into the prison, Luo Xin took out the roster and named a name, this official was one of the three people who were the most hesitant yesterday.

Soon, the officer was brought in, his lips moving, but he was speechless. Luo Xin stood up and walked towards the door with the people in the room.

When the official saw Luo Xin and the others getting up and walking outside, fear rose inexplicably in his heart, he didn't know why Luo Xin and the others left him here alone, the unknown is the real fear, seeing that Luo Xin was about to step out of the door, he couldn't help but tremble:

"Your Excellency...... I admit my mistake......"

Luo Xin's footsteps froze, and an inexplicable look appeared on his face. Originally, he chose the most undetermined official today, and then thought about letting his family come in and persuade him, and tell him the rumors outside, even if he died, he would be infamy. But he didn't expect that the psychological quality of this official was so poor, everyone held together, and with Hai Rui taking the lead, he would still be able to stand firm. Once a person is lonely and helpless, he completely softens.

Luo Xin paused, turned around, and said with a smile on his face: "Then write the book of admitting mistakes now, and when you finish writing, you can leave." ”

"Really?" The official looked at Luo Xin in disbelief.

Luo Xin nodded, said no more, just returned to his seat and sat down, lowering his eyes.

The officer took a deep breath, went to the table, picked up the brush, and began to write. In about two quarters of an hour, a confession was written. Luo Xin took it and looked at it, then stood up and said:

"Adults can leave and go back to recuperate."

"Thank you...... My lord! ”
