Chapter 1357 Rumors
"Your Majesty, it can be seen that all officials hate Luo Xin deeply." Xu Jie said: "Luo Xin's evil deeds have violated the will of the saints. Now there is a saying circulating in the streets and alleys."
"What's the matter?"
"In ancient times, there was Bai Qi, and now there was Luo Xin!"
The room fell into silence, and for a long time, the cold voice of Emperor Jiajing sounded.
"Get out!"
"His Majesty……"
"Get out!" Emperor Jiajing's voice suddenly became sharp.
Xu Jie and Gao Gong looked at each other, bowed and retreated.
Xu Jie and Gao Gong were walking on the white stone road. Gao Gong looked at Xu Jie and said, "Mr. Xu, why haven't I heard of the saying "Bai Qi in ancient times and Luo Xin today?"
"Haha...it's not easy to have it! Gao Da, now we are on the same line. We have no selfish intentions, just seeking justice for those innocent mountain people."
Gao Gong's lips moved, but eventually turned into a sigh.
In the imperial study room.
"Yellow companion!"
"Long live!"
"In ancient times, there was Bai Qi, and now there was Luo Xin, haha... do you really have this sentence?"
"I don't know, I'll arrange for someone to investigate now."
"No need!" Emperor Jiajing looked out the window and said with a gloomy expression: "I am like a bird in a cage, locked in this Forbidden City."
"Long live!"
"Parent Huang, go and arrange it and accompany me out for a walk later."
"Go out? Where to go?"
"I haven't left the palace for nearly twenty years. I have been a cage bird for twenty years. Today we will go out for a walk."
"Long live……"
"Go and arrange it, we secretly leave through the back door."
"Long live, do you want to be in vain?"
"Um!"
"Long live..."
"Go and arrange it!"
"yes!"
Chang'an Street.
Emperor Jiajing was wearing a foreign uniform, followed by Huang Jin in casual clothes. There were more than 20 people around them, but they were dressed in different ways. Some were dressed in merchants, some were Confucian scholars, and some were old Taoists and peddlers. These twenty people were scattered around Emperor Jiajing, as if they didn't know Emperor Jiajing, but were just walking with them, but they invisibly separated the others from Emperor Jiajing.
"Master, where are we going?" Huang Jin asked softly.
As Emperor Jiajing walked, he looked around and said, "Let's go to the largest teahouse in the capital first, and then go to Taibai Liquor to have dinner in the evening."
"yes!"
Emperor Jiajing stepped into the teahouse and a smile appeared on his face. There were quite a few people in the teahouse. This prosperous scene made Emperor Jiajing very happy, which proved that he was a wise king. He found a corner to sit down with Huang Jin, and Huang Jin asked for tea and melon seeds, and then he looked at the person who was telling the story.
At this moment, the storyteller was talking about the sadness.
This story tells how the mountain people in Jiangxi were surrendered by the court and after they left Lao Lin, they oppressed the Han people. In order to calm the affairs, the government suppressed the Han people.
It is about the daughter of a family who was pretty, but was raped by mountain people. The woman could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide by head-jing. The woman's father sued the government, and the mountain people formed a group to go to the yamen to make trouble and complain. In the end, the government sentenced the woman to the old man without evidence, falsely accusing the mountain people and was sent to prison.
One by one, it was all the cruel and greedy incidents of mountain people. The crowd in the teahouse was excited and a man slapped the table and shouted:
"Such a person should be killed. Am I so cowardly in the Ming Dynasty? I was afraid of those mountain people and dared not be fair, so I turned around and bullied the people at the center of the Ming Dynasty. If this wind rises and everyone learns, wouldn't the Ming Dynasty be so unlucky? It's really a country that is no longer a country."
"Yes!" The storyteller sighed, and then continued, "Everyone, please listen to me continue to talk. These things made the mountain people become more domineering. If they were not satisfied, they gathered people to cause trouble, and even smashed the government. In the end, it turned into a rebellion."
"Kill them! Kill them, our Ming Dynasty killed even the northern Tartars and the southeast Japanese pirates. What was the Ming Dynasty afraid of some small mountain people?"
There was a turbulent relationship in the teahouse: "A bad guy like this must be beaten and afraid of him, making them afraid of the Ming Dynasty. All of us, the people, understand these principles, but don't the officials of the dynasty understand?"
"A few days ago, everyone knows about the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan's rebellion?" said the storyteller.
"Know!"
"Know!"
“…”
"But he was defeated. Lord Hu led an army of 300,000, and divided troops into 150,000 each in Jiangxi and Guangdong. However, he did not expect that the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan and other rebels would collude with the mountain people. Those mountain people pretended to be good people, and had nothing to do with the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, so he took the initiative to help General Hu suppress the bandits.
In fact, he informed the rebels of all the actions of General Hu, and led General Hu into an ambush, and eventually killed more than 100,000 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty."
"What?"
"What happened like this?"
"What are your Majesty and the adults in the court doing?"
"What are you doing? Sneak..." A scholar-like man sneered: "The adults are arguing about how to educate the mountain people."
"enlightenment?"
"Impossible! Your Majesty and the Adults can't be so stupid. They've got people riding on their necks to shit, and they're still justifying them?"
Everyone was talking about it. The scholar didn't believe it when he saw it, and said with anger on his face:
"Don't believe it. I just came over from Taibai Restaurant. There are many imperial officials there who often eat. I listened to them with my own ears. Do you know what they said?"
"What did you say?" Everyone asked. Emperor Jiajing also raised his ears.
"Haha..." The scholar sneered twice at first, "You may not know that after General Hu was injured and unconscious after the failure of the mountain people to suppress bandits, the current southern ruler Luo Xinluo went to Jiangxi in person."
"Mr. Luo is there?"
"Very good!"
"With our Ming army gods coming in person, we will surely quell the rebels."
"Young Master, are you saying true?"
"I don't know either!" the scholar shook his head and said.
Everyone was disappointed, and some anxious people even cursed: "Don't you know, what are you talking about here? Do you want to be sensational?"
The scholar rolled his eyes and said, "I am not a court official, how can I know about such military and national affairs? These words were all said by the officials in Taibai Restaurant. If those officials did not lie, it would be true."
"That's definitely true!" Everyone talked: "These officials are naturally more informed than us. Young Master, tell me quickly, what else have you heard?"
"Ahem..."
The scholar coughed twice, and everyone was silent, and their eyes gathered on the scholar.
