King Yu nodded immediately, but in fact he was already exhausted. He nodded immediately and said, "Okay!"

As soon as King Yu left, Gao Gong, who had been holding back his body for a long time, immediately stood up and stared at Xu Jie and said:

"Mr. Xu, the matter of the will is very important. Why is the cabinet unaware of it in advance?"

Xu Jie raised his eyelids lightly and said, "I am the chief minister of the cabinet. I understand, but the cabinet knows."

Gao Gong felt bitter in his heart. This was the right of the chief minister of the cabinet. But he still glared at him:

"It is related to the reputation of the late emperor. Although you are the chief minister of the cabinet, you cannot be arbitrary. Lord Xu, you have the intention of being unjust."

Xu Jie said calmly: "The last emperor gave the instructions to write it!"

"What proof do you have?"

"At that time, His Highness Yu, Eunuch Huang, and Zhang Juzheng were all there. It can be proved."

Gao Gong and Ma Fang were stunned, and then their hearts were filled with dismay. They remembered that the emperor Yu and Zhang Juzheng entered the bedroom of Emperor Jiajing one after another, which should be the will written that day.

but……

Who can guarantee that Emperor Jiajing is sober?

And didn’t Xu Jie betray King Yu?

Why do you look like King Yu and Xu Jie cooperate in a tacit way today?

Did they reach a tacit understanding?

Gao Gong regrets it!

At this time, he felt that Emperor Jiajing asked Xu Jie to take charge of the imperial palace, which seemed to have reduced Xu Jie's rights in the cabinet, but Xu Jie took control of the imperial palace.

"Your Majesty is confused!"

Huang Jin and Luo Xin walked out of the prison. As the two walked, Huang Jin lowered their voices and told Luo Xin in detail what had happened recently. When Luo Xin heard the will, his expression changed:

"Tell me the content of the will."

"good!"

The entire capital city wore mourning all over the city overnight, and every household hanged white banners.

The plaque on the Meridian Gate was covered with white cloth, and the door was covered with seventh-rank and above Beijing officials kneeling in front of them, crying and howling.

One minute before Chen Shi.

The doors on both sides opened, and the six ministers and nine ministers of the cabinet, the royal family, walked out of the interior with mourning clothes and mourning clothes, and then stood quietly on both sides.

Then the eunuch in mourning clothes came out of the trouser door, holding a whip in his hand, shaking his hands, and two long whips were pointed straight on the ground like arms. Then he swung the long whip and made a whip sound in the air.

The Meridian Gate slowly opened!

Chen Shijing!

The bells of the bells and drum towers rang, and then the big bells in the Taoist temples in the entire capital were ringing, declaring that the old emperor was dead and the new emperor was about to ascend the throne.

Xu Jie led all the officials and the royal family to kneel down in the square.

On Chang'an Street.

He hurried home and took a shower, then changed his clothes, and rushed to Chang'an Street. Huang Jin told him that King Yu would wait for him here. He didn't know why King Yu had to wait for him at this time, but he still came at the speed of a march.

He saw King Yu's carriage at a glance, Luo Xin jumped out of the carriage, Huang Jin had already come up, and when he saw Luo Xin had changed into his mourning clothes, he lowered his voice and said:

"The new king is on the chariot!"

Luo Xin nodded and came to the chariot. In order to step on the horse, he saw King Yu standing there with excitement. Luo Xin stood there, and his heart was filled with warmth. No matter what, King Yu was still thinking about releasing himself. Although this was a deal between Huang Jin and Xu Jie, the role played by King Yu was crucial.

"Your Highness!" King Yu had not ascended the throne at this time, so Luo Xin still called King Yu the Lord.

"Master Luo, you have suffered."

"Not suffering!"

Luo Xin said quietly, in fact, Luo Xin really did not suffer. Although the air quality in the prison was a bit bad, the bedding was all new, and the wine and food bought from the Zhuangyuan Building every day. In addition to restricting freedom, he really did not suffer.

"But your Highness, you have suffered over the years."

Hearing Luo Xin's words, King Yu's eyes turned red and his voice choked:

"If it weren't for the poor god, Master Luo would have... died long ago."

King Yu was so sad that he thought that if Luo Xin had not become his teacher, he would have been killed by King Jing long ago. And it was precisely because of Luo Xin's appearance that his life improved and he did not have to live a difficult life every day. It was Li Shizhen, who Luo Xin invited, who gave birth to a son.

Life was better, and my son had a son, so I killed King Jing, and then I endured Emperor Jiajing to death.

Not easy!

The one who was most grateful to King Yu at this time was Luo Xin. He couldn't help but hold Luo Xin's hand and said with emotion:

"Master Luo, you and I are the same age. From now on, you should not treat me as a teacher, and I will not treat you as a minister. We friends will make friends."

Luo Xin smiled and said, "Your Highness, I may not regard you as a student, but I must regard you as the emperor!"

King Yu shook his head and looked at Luo Xin sincerely and said, "Master Luo, how did emperors of all dynasties live? I don't know, but I know that my father said to me that I have no close friend. I don't want to do this. I want to have a close friend. Like ordinary people, I have a close friend."

Luo Xin knew very well about King Yu's psychological journey. Although as time passed, King Yu might change his ideas after he took the throne, why don't Luo Xin do it now?

"It's just that you don't obey your orders!"

"Okay! OK! OK!" King Yu said three times, holding Luo Xin's hand tighter and said, "I'll ride the imperial chariot together later."

Luo Xin was shocked. Since ancient times, people who were not qualified and those who shared the same chariot with the emperor had no good ending. He smiled bitterly:

"Your Highness, this is not in accordance with the rules."

"What I mean is the rules."

Unexpectedly, King Yu was very stubborn at this time. Luo Xin knew clearly that if someone in the Ming Dynasty was qualified to ride a chariot with King Yu, there would be only three people.

Xu Jie, Gao Gong and Ma Fang.

Because that position is reserved for the prime minister. What is Luo Xin?

Just a third-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Moreover, this is the first time that King Yu has appeared as a new king. If Luo Xin and King Yu are riding together in a chariot at this time, it would be too popular.

People should have self-knowledge, where they are, and what they do, otherwise it will be a disaster but not a blessing.

"Gou means you want the world to know that you are the one you trust the most. And the father has sent you to prison for injustice to you, and Gou wants to justify your reputation."

Luo Xin was moved, but at this time Emperor Jiajing felt a little grateful.

Emperor Jiajing finally put Luo Xin in prison. Luo Xin stayed in the prison for less than a quarter of an hour and understood that Emperor Jiajing was for his own good.

Originally, Luo Xin released most of the officials by making the officials in the prison admit their mistakes, which not only made those officials owe Luo Xin a favor, but also gained the favor of all officials.

However, he did not expect that Emperor Jiajing would spread rumors and eventually forced an official to death, which suddenly reversed public opinion. Not only did Emperor Jiajing die, but he also turned what Luo Xin did before into a bad consequence. Many officials began to suspect that Luo Xin was the lackey of Emperor Jiajing.

Under such a situation, Luo Xin's reputation can be imagined.
