"No hurry!"

Hu Zongxian said with a smile: "I'm not injured, you come quickly, rest for one night, and go again tomorrow." ”

Looking at Hu Zongxian's wise eyes, Luo Xin gradually calmed down, nodded and said:

"Okay, we're not in a hurry!"

Palace.

Emperor Ant closed his eyes and sat on the chair, his ears echoing the words of the scorpion supervisor reporting what Luo Xin said at the noon gate, Feng Bao stood quietly in the corner, secretly glancing at Emperor Ant from time to time. In the middle of the sound, the Ant Emperor opened his eyes and said:

"Ministers of the Cabinet."

Soon, Gao Gong, Yan Na, Ma Fang, and Zhang Juzheng stood in front of Emperor Ant§After Emperor made them flat, he looked at them like this, making them extremely uncomfortable for a while.

They all know that Emperor Ant is a person with a generous personality, and he will not make people unable to get off the stage like this, but today Emperor Ant has a trace of the shadow of an emperor.

"No matter how cowardly you are, you are an emperor!" Gao Gong sighed in his heart, at this time, he regretted a little in his heart, regretting that he had connived at Xu Dang's murder of Luo Xin through Hu Zongxian.

Hu Zongxian recruited it, but when the time comes, the iron case will be completed, even if Emperor Mao wants to protect Luo Xin, he can't protect it.

But

If it doesn't succeed, it will definitely usher in Luo Xin's crazy revenge. Of course, Luo Xin's revenge could not reach him. Because he is not the direct operator, the direct operator is Xu Dang, he is just hiding behind his back, watching the opportunity to push it. So the high arch has always been very happy. I feel that Luo Xin and Xu Jie are fighting each other, no matter who wins or loses, he will not be harmed, and maybe he will benefit from the fisherman.

However, at this moment, he understood his biggest mistake.

He will lose the favor of the Ant Emperor!

When the imperial court is dominant, for example, when he dominates the court with a high arch, he doesn't care about the emperor. Because he has already set up the emperor. But when there is multi-party competition in the court, the role of the emperor in any party is huge.

Originally, he was Gao Gong's teacher, although his status in Emperor Ant's heart was not as good as Luo Xin, but he was only inferior to Luo Xin. But now, I'm afraid there will be a bit of a disagreement with the Ant Emperor.

"Master Zhang." Emperor Mao finally spoke, and the tense atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace relaxed: "You are now in charge of the household department, I want to ask you, when the first emperor was there, the military salary captured to Hu Zongxian was really less than thirty percent?" ”

Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth, and a trace of hesitation appeared in his eyes.

Zhang Juzheng is not an official who lives in a mess, but an official with ideals, ambitions, wisdom, and ability. When he served as the left attendant of the household department, he read the copywriting of the household department all over the time, and he was clear about the various accounts of the Jiajing Emperor era. He naturally knew that Luo Xin was telling the truth. But once admitted here, wouldn't this help Hu Zongxian get rid of the charge? At the same time, he pushed Wang Tingxiang into the abyss? Let the conspiracy against Luo Xin fail completely?

As long as Luo Xin is still in the cabinet for one day, he will never have a bright day.

And just when he hesitated, Ma Fang spoke: "Your Majesty." How much military salary Hu Zongxian received, the old minister did not know. But when Lao Chen was the governor of the north, the military salary never exceeded 30%. ”

"Boom"

Emperor Ant only felt that his head was about to explode, and his lips were a little trembling, he believed in Luo Xin, but he didn't want to believe that the old Zhu family treated the army like this. What can you do with 30% of military salaries?

It's like before he met Luo Xin, he could only eat three minutes a day, and he never wanted to live that kind of day again. He turned his gaze to Ma Fang and asked with a puff:

"And how do you manage the border army? Is it the same as Hu Zongxian? ”

Ma Fang shook and said: "I don't have the ability of Hu Zongxian, so I can only train a small number of border troops with limited military salaries. Therefore, the millions of border troops in the north can fight only tens of thousands, and the rest are no different from beggars. Therefore, the grassland tartars of that year were able to come to the autumn valley if they wanted to come to the autumn valley. A few dozen steppe Tartars can kill the rout of the Wanbian army. The military and civilians at the northern border pass live in dire straits every day.

It is precisely because of this that the steppe Tartars have hit the capital several times and come to the city.

If it weren't for Lord Luo's invention of landmines, grenades and multiple rocket launchers, I am afraid that the northern border passes would still be in chaos today. Maybe the steppe Tartars are once again coming to the city. ”

"You say!" Emperor Ant's eyes looked at Zhang Juzheng angrily.

Zhang Juzheng sighed in his heart and said softly: "Lord Luo is right, the military salary that the imperial court gave to Hu Zongxian was less than thirty percent. ”

"Good, good!" Emperor Mao said angrily: "Hu Zongxian can be described as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, but you treat an old minister who returns to his hometown regardless of personal gains and losses, regardless of personal reputation, doesn't your conscience hurt?" ”

"The old minister is negligent, please punish Your Majesty." Gao Gong knelt down.

"Is it just an oversight?" The Ant Emperor looked at Gao Gong coldly.

Gao Gong's heart was turning, since he couldn't defeat Luo Xin, then defeat a Xu party, which was also a benefit to himself.

"Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't know much about Hu Zongxian, since Wang Tingxiang impeached Hu Zongxian, the old minister thought that after Hu Zongxian was escorted into Beijing, he would investigate them one by one, and then report to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to make a holy ruling. Who would have thought that Wang Tingxiang would be so rampant and go to torture Hu Zongxian halfway. ”

There was a look of exhaustion on the face of the Ant Emperor, he suddenly felt very tired and annoyed, and he didn't have any ideas in his heart at this time, although he was extremely angry in his heart, he didn't know how to deal with it. Half-ringing, he waved his hand weakly:

"Go down, I want you to give me a reasonable answer."

Day 2.

Luo Xin returned to Beijing, directly put Wang Tingxiang into the Jinyi Wei prison, and then took Hu Zongxian directly to the palace' A eunuch dared to make things difficult for Luo Xin, and Luo Xin took Hu Zongxian to meet Emperor Ant smoothly. In front of Emperor Ant, Luo Xin untied the bandage of Hu Zongxian's hands, and when Emperor Ant saw that Hu Zongxian's ten nails were gone, and when Luo Xin said that he was ordered by the royal court to pull them out, Emperor Ant's heart was twitching, and he felt that his fingers hurt.

With tears in his eyes, Emperor Mao comforted Hu Zongxian with warm words, and finally rewarded Hu Zongxian. made Hu Zongxian cry bitterly and knelt down in front of Emperor Ant.

Luo Fu.

Li Shizhen rebandaged Hu Zongxian, and Luo Xin cleaned up a laxative for Hu Zongxian, so that Hu Zongxian could recuperate in the mansion. The next day, I came directly to the high-arch duty room.

Sitting opposite Gao Gong, Luo Xin said lightly: "Lord Gao, there is no need for Wang Tingxiang to stay in the court. ”

Gao Gong was overjoyed, originally he was afraid that Luo Xin would expand the area of the attack. If it was only aimed at Wang Tingxiang and did not affect the Gao Party, it would be better.

But

Will Luo Xin stop there?
