Xu Jie and Gao Gong went home, and as soon as they finished eating, an endless stream of officials came to visit. These people are inextricably linked with the six major families in the southeast, and they have all received letters from the five major families in the southeast, and the five major families have also sent letters to officials related to the Lu family, and these officials are not only from the Xu Jie's party, but also from the Gao Gong party. At this time, they came to Xu Jie's and Gao Gong's house with only one purpose, that is, to jointly impeach Luo Xin.
Xu Jie and Gao Gong were in their own homes and told these officials what Luo Xin was doing in the concert. The officials were silent for a while, and then they took out the messages they had received:
"Luo Xin went on a killing spree in the southeast, and in order to expel the refugees from Hangzhou City, he actually killed thousands of refugees, which is a big crime."
Xu Jie and Gao Gong both shook their heads in their respective study rooms and said, "Luo Xin's recital makes it very clear that they are all widows who have infiltrated Hangzhou. ”
"Who knows if it's true?"
Xu Jie and Gao Gong were silent at the same time, and half an hour later, those officials left Xu Jie and Gao Gong's house.
Xufu.
Xu Lu looked at Xu Jie and said, "Father, do you really want to impeach Luo Xin?" ”
"It's an opportunity."
"Na Luo Qing's Concerto ......"
"Of course, it will also be given to Your Majesty, but it will be placed below."
Kofu.
Gao Gong looked at the backs of those officials leaving, and sighed helplessly. He can't help but impeach Luo Xin, otherwise he will chill the hearts of those who follow him. He is still far from the point where he has a monopoly on the DPRK, and he still needs the support of these officials.
"Xu Jie, Xu Jie, I didn't expect the two of us to join forces this time. Luo Xin, Luo Xin, I'm sorry. ”
Lu Fu.
Lu Bing also took the letter that Lu Ding gave him, which arrived a day later than Shen Ling. He read the letter, shook his head, smiled bitterly, and reached for the oil lamp to light it.
Day 2.
Cabinet.
Xu Jie's and the high-arched table were filled with a pile of concerts, and the two of them looked at each other through the thick concertos, and their faces showed knowing smiles. Xu Jie said lightly:
"Shall we go to see Your Majesty?"
"Good!"
The two men got up and walked together, followed by the scribe who had sorted out the impeachment of Luo Xin in a box, and followed behind them.
Wanshou Palace.
Emperor Jiajing squinted as Xu Jie and Gao Gong came in, and then looked at the box placed in front of the two of them. I couldn't help but sigh again.
This day has just passed a little, with the three million taels of silver sent by Luo Xin, this day has just eased up, so that Emperor Jiajing can live a little comfortable life, and he can calm down and cultivate the Tao again, why did Xu Jiejie and Gao Gong come in with a box again?
As soon as he saw this box, he knew that someone was going to be jointly impeached again.
Why are there so many worries!
Who provoked Xu Jiehe and Gao Gong? Looking at this way, or that person provoked Xu Jie and Gao Gong at the same time, how bad does this person have to be?
waved helplessly, but didn't bother to speak. Xu Jie and Gao Gong also understood what Emperor Jiajing meant, so they opened the box, and Huang Jin walked over and moved those pieces in front of Emperor Jiajing one by one. Emperor Jiajing picked up a piece and opened it, and his face changed.
He just read a book of cantatas, and then he didn't look at it anymore, because he knew that this pile of cantata must be impeached by one person, one thing. He closed his eyes and thought about it.
He was jealous of Luo Xin, but he did not doubt Luo Xin's personality. With Luo Xin's military exploits, there is no need to kill good and risk merit at all. When he saw Luo Xin as a secretary in the cabinet, he was cautious, and he knew that Luo Xin had realized that he had made great achievements, so how could Luo Xin do something to kill good and take credit? I'm afraid he's thinking about how to make less war exploits at this time.
In this way, Luo Xin really killed thousands of Japanese robbers.
But......
Who can say this clearly? Who can prove that Luo Xin killed the Japanese and not the refugees?
This is really an opportunity to punish Luo Xin.
Emperor Jiajing's heart couldn't help but pause, but then he immediately vetoed the idea of disposing of Luo Xin in his heart. In fact, Emperor Jiajing is old, and he is so old that he is afraid of trouble. It's not impossible to deal with Luo Xin, and even Emperor Jiajing took this opportunity to kill Luo Xin, I believe that there will be no strange sound in the court, when he killed Xia Yan, didn't he kill him?
However, after killing Luo Xin, who made money for him?
You must know that Luo Xin's city division has not yet begun to really operate. The three million taels of silver he received were all obtained by arresting and smuggling. If Luo Xin is disposed of, who will run the city for him?
At this time, he couldn't help but think of Yan Song, at that time, it was because Yan Song was good at managing money, and Emperor Jiajing was bent on seeking Taoism and didn't want to trouble, so he let Yan Song dominate the dynasty alone. Later, after disposing of Yan Song, Xu Jiehe and Gao Gong became cabinets, but what was the result?
None of these two people are good at managing money, and they almost bankrupt the Ming Dynasty, and even the officials can't pay all their money. If it weren't for Luo Xin's three million taels of silver, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty would have been shaken.
At this time, dispose of Luo Xin......
Slow!
Emperor Jiajing's heart suddenly moved, the last time Luo Xin caught smuggling, he got three million taels of silver, this time he copied the Lu family, it won't be any silver, right?
It's just that in an instant, Emperor Jiajing put aside the matter of impeaching Luo Xin, and instead asked how much money Luo Xin would get. Emperor Jiajing was indeed poor, and the three million taels of silver were reissued to the officials, plus the money from all parties was filled, and there was not much left. In the past few days, Emperor Jiajing has been a little worried about this matter, and he is still thinking of issuing an order to Luo Xin to make money for him quickly.
Thinking of this, Emperor Jiajing looked at Xu Jiehe and Gao Gong and said, "Does Luo Xin have a concert?" ”
"Yes!" Xu Jie's heart was beating: "It's all in there." ”
Huang Jin immediately stepped forward, turned out Luo Xin's recital from the pile of cantata, and then put it in front of Emperor Jiajing. After Emperor Jiajing opened the recital, when he saw half of it, his eyebrows danced.
"Eight million taels of antique paintings and calligraphy, and five million taels of silver from the sale of land and houses, hehe...... It's time to live a comfortable life again. Well, it seems that raiding the house is not bad either. ”
Emperor Jiajing secretly said in his heart, of course he wouldn't say it, but he already had the idea of leaning towards Luo Xin in his heart. No matter how jealous he is of Luo Xin, he can't do without Luo Xin at this time. He is very conflicted now, keeping Luo Xin, and fearing that Luo Xin will cause trouble to the Ming Dynasty after his death. killed Luo Xin, and he didn't have a comfortable life.
"Alas, let's keep Luo Xin for the time being. As long as I dispose of Luo Xin before I die. ”
"Xuan Lu Bing."
Two quarters of an hour later, Lu Bing came to Wanshou Palace, and after meeting Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing asked:
"Do you know anything about the Southeast?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is clear. News has just come back from the southeast. ”
"Speak!"
Emperor Jiajing's heart was also curious, just now in those impeachment chapters against Luo Xin, it was only said that Luo Xin had killed good people and made meritorious deeds, but he did not elaborate, and Luo Xin only said that he had killed more than 2,000 Japanese invaders in the chapter, and did not elaborate, so he was very curious, how did Luo Xin identify thousands of Japanese soldiers from tens of thousands of refugees?
If there is no convincing statement, even Emperor Jiajing, who believes in Luo Xin's character, will inevitably be suspicious, because this is too mysterious, and Luo Xin does not have fiery eyes.
Lu Bing had already formed an alliance with Luo Xin at this time, so he naturally added fuel and vinegar, and told Luo Xin's affairs in Hangzhou like a storyteller, and the plot was really ups and downs and fascinating. One by one, how can Luo Xin be bound into a desperate situation, and if he is dry and fishing, how can he attack decisively......
Directly made Emperor Jiajing's blood boil when he heard it, Huang Jin was also fluctuating, and secretly said that he and Luo Xin joined forces, it seems that he was right, and he should be able to spend the rest of his life in peace. Even Xu Jie and Gao Gong were dumbfounded, thinking that if they were in Luo Xin's environment, they might not be able to do as well as Luo Xin.
Until Lu Bing finished speaking, the people in the room were still immersed in the aftertaste. In the end, Lu Bing said in a sonorous tone:
"Your Majesty, the minister's family has also participated in these things, and after the minister got the truth of the matter, he has written to severely criticize the family, and now our Lu family has gone to visit Luo Xin, apologize to Luo Xin, and promise to cooperate with Luo Xin in the future and not delay His Majesty's major affairs."
Xu Jie and Gao Gong were shocked in their hearts, but then they understood that now that His Majesty is old, what he is most afraid of is trouble, and what he likes most is money. Now that Luo Xin has caught His Majesty's vein, as long as he can continue to send money to His Majesty, even if Luo Xin causes trouble, His Majesty will tolerate it, not to mention, Luo Xin did not cause trouble?
Lu Bing is worthy of being His Majesty's brother and knows His Majesty best. Now that the six major families in Hangzhou have been copied and killed by Luo Xin, and the Lu family has taken refuge in Luo Xin, what kind of storm can the remaining four families make?
This time, Luo Xin escaped again.
Huang Jin on the side was even more shocked, Lu Bing knew Emperor Jiajing, but Huang Jin also knew Lu Bing, at this time, as long as there was one thought in his heart, Lu Bing and Luo Xin also joined forces.
However, while he was shocked, he was also more relieved. With him and Lu Bing teaming up with Paul Xin, Luo Xin shouldn't die, right?
As long as Luo Xin does not die, they will have hope.
"Hoo ......"
Emperor Jiajing let out a long breath, groaned slightly, and then said to Xu Jie and Gao Gong:
"You all know the truth about this now?"
At this time, where do Xu Jie and Gao Gong still don't know what to do? Immediately salute:
"If the minister doesn't notice it for a while, please punish Your Majesty."
Emperor Jiajing said in a condensed voice: "I let the two of you be like a cabinet, that is, let the two of you share my worries." You can deal with this matter. If there is anything like this in the future, it must be investigated. ”
"Obey the order!"
"Stand down."
"Retire!"
Hangzhou.
Lu Fu.
After sending Shen Ling away, Lu Ding returned to the house and walked back and forth, muttering for a full quarter of an hour, and suddenly said:
"Prepare the car!"
Lu Ding's carriage walked towards the city, he had already decided to surrender to Luo Xin, and he had already deduced through that letter that the Lu family had Lu Bing here, and Luo Xin would not be impeached, but the other four would definitely be impeached. He didn't go to visit Luo Xin immediately just now, but thought about it for a full quarter of an hour, thinking about whether he should wait and see the results of the impeachment of Luo Xin by the four families, and then make a decision, whether to surrender to Luo Xin, or continue to fight with Luo Xin.
However, in the end, he decided not to wait. Lu Bingxin said well, Luo Xin already has evidence of their collusion with the Japanese smuggling, and he can pick up the butcher's knife and slash at their five great families at any time. And the Lu family is different from the other four major families, as long as they are close to Luo Xin at this time, after Lu Bing's death, when the Lu family suffers, Luo Xin has promised to do his best to help, and at this time he is still sitting and watching the situation, I am afraid that Luo Xin will not take care of their Lu family. At this time, being close to Luo Xin can be regarded as a charcoal in the snow, waiting for the results to come out, once Luo Xin wins, at that time, their Lu family is no longer important in Luo Xin's eyes.
Since he had made a decision, he wanted to live in the best interests, so he didn't notify the four great families at all, and at this time, the selfish face of the family was undoubtedly revealed.
Take the first step and get close to Luo Xin before the four great families, and you will definitely be able to obtain more benefits than the other four great families in the future market and sea trade. Lu Ding knew in his heart that since he was close to Luo Xin, he would not be able to do smuggling in the future, this was a matter of principle, otherwise Luo Xin would definitely be unkind to their Lu family. However, if you don't do smuggling, you will lose a lot of money.
To tell the truth, Lu Ding really doesn't have much confidence in Luo Xin's city, Daming also opened a city company in the Zhengde years, and finally it was gone, now he has given up smuggling, and does business with the city company in a proper manner, can he really make money?
Well, even if he could make money, would he make one percent of what he made from smuggling, or a tenth of what he earned? In his opinion, being able to earn one-tenth is already the limit, which is equivalent to losing nine-tenths of his financial resources every year. This already made him feel pain, if he let the four great families share some profits, wouldn't he lose more?
Therefore, he didn't think about notifying the four great families at all, he just thought that he could monopolize the business of the city, so that he could make more money.
I came to the door of the city and handed over the post. Lu Ding still thought that Luo Xin would dry him for a while, but he didn't expect that soon Luo Xin walked out of it and arched his hand towards Lu Ding:
"Boss, why do you have time to watch today?"
Lu Ding smiled awkwardly and said, "I have long wanted to visit Lord Luo, but I just see that my lord is busy with business, so it is inconvenient to disturb." Today I also came to visit with a cheeky face, and I hope that adults will not care. ”
"Hahaha......" Luo Xin laughed heartily: "Boss, it's time in the capital, I am a minister in the same palace as the Metropolitan Governor, and we have a friendly relationship, you are the Metropolitan Governor's own family, we are a family, when you come, you are welcome." ”
Lu Ding's heart breathed a sigh of relief, and he secretly said in his heart, it seems that Luo Xin is still giving the Lu family face. A natural smile appeared on his face and said:
"Yes, my brother also sent a letter asking me to be friends with Lord Luo."
