Chapter 1368 decree
In this way, Emperor Jiajing felt that the court had also fought back for its face, and as for his guilt towards Luo Xin...
Then I can only continue to feel guilty!
Compared to the peaceful life I want to live, this little guilt doesn't matter.
Therefore, Emperor Jiajing finally issued an order, asking Luo Xin to only capture the rebels such as Zhang Daoyuan, and to educate the mountain people.
On that day, the imperial edict left the capital, rushed to Jiangxi for 800 miles.
Gaofu.
Gao Gong sat on the chair of the Grand Master, his face was not happy, but rather a little complicated. Wang Xijue stood opposite Gao Gong and said softly:
"Mr., Your Majesty finally issued an order. Why do you seem unhappy?"
"Oh..." Gao Gong sighed, raised his eyes and looked at Wang Xijue. His heart moved. Xu Jie already had Director Zhang as the successor, but he had not. However, Wang Xijue had been with him for so long. Through observation, his potential was no less than Director Zhang, so he had the idea of cultivating Wang Xijue, looking at Wang Xijue and said:
"Fu Yu, do you think we won this time?"
Wang Xijue thought, "This time we can let Your Majesty issue an order to take the path of a saint rather than a killing. It should be a win, right?"
"Yes!" Gao Gong sighed again: "From this point, we won. However, it laid two hidden dangers, huge hidden dangers."
"Two hidden dangers?" Wang Xijue was stunned.
"Yes, think about it, what are these two hidden dangers?"
Wang Xijue thought for a long time, but shook his head and said, "I'll ask my mentor to give me some advice."
Gao Gong sighed in his heart, and he remembered Luo Xin. Luo Xin was younger than Wang Xijue, but Luo Xin's wisdom was not comparable to that of Wang Xijue.
"Why is Luo Xin unwilling to be his disciple? If he can become his successor..."
Thinking of this, Gao Gong couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Luo Xin's current status can already threaten him. It can be said that although Luo Xin is weaker than Gao Gong, he also has the qualifications to be equal to him. He wants Luo Xin to become his successor because he thinks too much.
Holding the regret in his heart, he focused his energy on Wang Xijue and said:
"Fu Yu, do you think of how an emperor governs a country?"
"Of course, he is a villain far away, a wise minister close to him, a person who cares about the world, and respects the virtuous and the inferior..."
Wang Xijue said a lot, and Gao Gong looked at Wang Xijue's green and righteous face, and a smile appeared on his face. Although Wang Xijue said everything that was ideal, it is undeniable that Wang Xijue had a righteous heart, which was very fond of Gao Gong.
Gao Gong is such a noble and idealized person, otherwise he would not have joined forces with Xu Jie to impeach Luo Xin. At this point, he had no personal grudges towards Luo Xin, and it was Luo Xin's cooking that hurt his ideals. Therefore, although Wang Xijue showed poor political wisdom, Gao Gong was very happy and so he patiently cultivated Wang Xijue.
"Fu Yu, what you said is not wrong. But the emperor's real means is balance."
"balance?"
"Not bad!" Gao Gong's eyes flashed with a wise light: "An emperor cannot let the court officials dominate, as it will undermine the emperor. Therefore, he will support two forces among the court officials. These two forces must be equal in strength, which is balance. Only in this way can the emperor control the government.
So, this time, Xu Huating and I joined forces to break this balance.
Xu Huating is an old cabinet. When Yan Song was there, he was the one who supported him and balanced Yan Song. Now Yan Song has fallen, and Your Majesty let me enter the cabinet, which is to let me balance Xu Huating.
However, this time I went against His Majesty's thoughts. Not only did I not check and balance Xu Huating, but I joined forces with Xu Huating. This made His Majesty feel the pressure, but also felt disappointed and even disgusted with me.
Against this, I have offended Your Majesty. In the future, Xu Huating will probably start to recover again."
"this……"
Wang Xijue is also a smart person. In the past, no one was trained or given guidance. Now Gao Gong gave a tip, and he thought for a moment and understood, but he still asked in confusion:
"But, didn't Lord Xu impeach Luo Xin too? Why didn't His Majesty punish Lord Xu?"
"That's because Xu Huating is already weak in the cabinet now. If Your Majesty suppresses him, the entire court will be in my hands. Your Majesty will naturally not do this. If I did not impeach Luo Xin this time, but instead checked and balanced Xu Jie, I am afraid that Your Majesty will drive Xu Jie out of the cabinet and train another one... It is probably Zhang Juzheng, who will enter the cabinet to check and balance me.
But I don't, so Your Majesty will suppress me, and it's too high. After all the hard work, I finally gained an advantage in the cabinet, and I have to flow."
"Not...so serious, right?"
"This is just to Your Majesty, and you haven't told Luo Xin yet."
"Luo Xinhe..."
"No matter that goes, the entire government and the country knew that Luo Xin and I were an alliance, and Luo Xin also helped me many times. The most important thing was that Luo Xin drove the Tatars in the north, destroyed the Japanese pirates in the south, founded the Maritime Bureau, established the mutual market, and resolved the Ming Dynasty's finances. What he did can be called the pillar of the Ming Dynasty's rejuvenation.
However, when Luo Xin was on the expedition to rebel, I joined forces with Xu Jie to impeach him in the rear. No matter what the reason was, no matter who was right or who was wrong, the relationship between Luo Xin and I was completely broken.
Luo Xin is not easy to mess with. To be honest, it would not be impossible for me to gain the advantage of the cabinet without Luo Xin, but it would definitely not be the case now, and it might take several years.
Now that I am against Luo Xin, I am disgusted by His Majesty, and I am afraid of him. Do you think I have won or lost?"
Xu Mansion.
Xu Luqing said to Xu Jie with excitement: "Father, your Majesty has finally issued an order, we won."
"Win?" Xu Jie shook his head and said, "It's still early."
"What? There are still changes?" Xu Luqing was stunned.
"The will has been given, and there will naturally be no changes, but this is just the first step for the Father."
"Just the first step?"
"Not bad!" Xu Jie nodded and said, "It is only the first step to jointly impeach Luo Xin, and it is a killing of two birds with one stone. It not only impeached Luo Xin, but also made His Majesty hate Gao Gong."
"Then..." Xu Luqing asked worriedly: "Will your Majesty hate you?"
"I have been disgusted by Your Majesty. Now Your Majesty hates Gao Gong, and we are the same as Gao Gong's start. Your Majesty will definitely suppress Gao Gong. For the opportunity of your father in the cabinet, we will prepare to counterattack."
"Then...the second step?"
"Second step, haha..." Xu Jie smiled proudly: "With my understanding of Luo Xin, he will definitely resist the order and refuse to obey it. By then, this will be another serious crime."
