Chapter 1557 Luo Xin's Counterattack
Xu Jie knew that this was his best opportunity, so he drove Gao Gong away, cut off Luo Xin's arm and hit Zhang Juzheng. As for offending Emperor Longqing, he had already offended him. He also knew in his heart that after this incident, he and Emperor Longqing had completely turned their faces, but he didn't care. From the day he betrayed Emperor Longqing, the two of them had turned their faces. If he hadn't started to make arrangements before Emperor Jiajing died, he would have been driven out of the officialdom by Emperor Longqing at this time. It was his layout that forced Emperor Longqing to pinch his nose and tolerate him. What he had to do in the future was to undermine Emperor Longqing.
Of course, he did this, and forced himself to a cliff. If he accidentally drove Gao Gong out this time, he could drive Luo Xin out of the cabinet after a little operation, and at the same time beat Zhang Juzheng to honestly let Zhang Juzheng know his true power, and follow him wholeheartedly, and dare not have any other thoughts. In this way, it is no problem to undermine Emperor Longqing, and in the future, he will pass the position of Prime Minister of the cabinet to the already honest Zhang Juzheng, so that he can retire with peace of mind.
Or he was defeated and kicked out of the cabinet by Gao Gong, his fate could be imagined.
But he was confident that he could win the final victory because he was sure that the problem of money shortage was unsolvable. As long as the problem of money shortage was unsolvable, a whip could not be implemented. In this way, Gao Gong could not turn over and was kicked out of the cabinet.
So, he was sitting there with a silent mind. I, the chief minister of the cabinet, can't go bare-handedly, all my subordinates went to the battle to impeach Gao Gong. Even if Emperor Longqing was summoned to the cabinet for a meeting this time, as long as Emperor Longqing did not drive Gao Gong out of the cabinet, he would still be a dull man. Let's see when Emperor Longqing can persist?
Pointing to the good old man and idiot Yan Na, wanting to lead the cabinet?
Just kidding?
For this reason, Xu Jie did not even speak of Luo Xin's transfer of officialdom in the south. Luo Xin took advantage of this time to go to the south to restart the Maritime Warehouse Office and operated Zhou Yu to the magistrate of Hangzhou as the Maritime Warehouse Office, and took charge of the Maritime Warehouse Office. However, Xu Jie didn't care. When he drove Gao Gong away and Luo Xin away, Zhou Yu was just a little man.
So, Emperor Longqing was chatting there, but Xu Jie and Gao Gong both closed their mouths and no one talked, which made Emperor Longqing gradually become embarrassed.
Finally, Emperor Longqing said with a gloomy face: "Xu Qing, Master Gao, I don't want to see your memorials of impeachment from each other again."
Gao Gong glanced at Xu Jie, and Xu Jie also looked up at Gao Gong. The two people's eyes collided in the air. Xu Jie smiled coldly, stood up and spoke to Emperor Longqing.
"Your Majesty, those officials impeach Gao Gong is also a matter of things and people. It is really a whip that is not suitable for the Ming Dynasty. It is a tyrant that has caused trouble to the Ming Dynasty. Now it has caused trouble to the people. I also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to abolish a whip and let the Ming Dynasty get back on track."
"Absurd!" Gao Gong stood up angrily.
"Absurd?" Xu Jie said lightly: "The shortage of money is the appearance of a disaster caused by a whip. Without a whip, where does the shortage of money come from? Without a shortage of money, where does the conflict come from? As the secondary assistant of the cabinet, don't you know that conflicts have occurred in many places? If this continues, it will cause civil unrest and then wars are everywhere. Now the Ming Dynasty is internal and external troubles, do you want the Ming Dynasty's internal troubles to come more violently?"
"Your Majesty!" Xu Jie faced Emperor Longqing again and said aggressively: "Your Majesty also asks you to abolish a whip, severely punish Gao Gong, and give an explanation to the people of the world."
Emperor Longqing's face turned pale and he couldn't help but look at Luo Xin. This was his habit. Since Luo Xin became his teacher, he instinctively went to Luo Xin whenever he could not solve the problem.
No matter how stupid he was, he knew in his heart that once a whip was abolished, he had to find someone to take the blame. Too many examples in history were like this. And in the matter of this whip, only Gao Gong could take the blame. Gao Gong left the cabinet so much, and even Luo Xin would be punished. Even if Luo Xin was not driven out of the cabinet, the Xu Party concentrated its efforts to impeach Luo Xin, and would probably end up like Zhang Juzheng and would not be able to govern for three years.
Gao Gong left the cabinet and Luo Xin ignored the government for three years. In these three years, Emperor Longqing was really undermined.
"His Majesty!"
Luo Xin had to speak out. He still wanted to try his best to maintain the situation where Xu Jie and Gao Gong were in the cabinet, so that he could have the opportunity to grow in the battle between the two tigers. Therefore, if you can delay, you should delay for a while. Perhaps if you delay for a long time, the opportunity will appear.
"Now that external troubles have not been eliminated [ ], domestic affairs should not be a big fight. What we need to do now is not a discussion of a whip. To be honest..."
Speaking of this, Luo Xin glanced at Xu Jie lightly, and then continued:
"I am very disappointed with the officials in the capital. I originally thought that when I went to the south and went to the sea in person, I would definitely be inspired. While I was solving the southern problem, I would work together to find ways to solve the northern problem.
You should know that the north is the real threat to our Ming Dynasty. Whether it is Altan Khan or Huangtaiji, they have all hit our capital. How many years have passed? Have you forgotten them?
However, what Lingchen had never expected was that no official was thinking about how to solve the problem in the north, and he was impeaching Lord Xu, impeaching Lord Gao, impeaching Lord Yan, impeaching Lord Ma, impeaching Minister, and impeaching Lord Zhang.
What is this to do?
Impeach the entire cabinet?
Do they want the entire Ming Dynasty to have no cabinet?
Do you want the Ming Dynasty to be completely in power?
Are they traitors from the Northern Grassland? Are they fighting for the Northern Grassland to fight for the front station?”
"Teng!"
Xu Jie and Gao Gong's faces were red. Luo Xin's words were too sharp. And they could not refute it. When Luo Xin went to the south, you should think about the problem in the north in the capital. See what you all did?
"So, I think that the problem that needs to be solved most now is the problem in the north. As for a whip, let it go first. Or while solving the problem in the north, you can work together and maybe you can also come up with a solution to the problem of a whip."
"It's right!" Emperor Longqing looked at Luo Xin expectantly and said, "The north still has to worry about Master Luo."
"This..." Luo Xin hesitated and said: "The chief minister is here, let's talk about it. I have solved the problem in the south, and it is time for the chief minister to solve it in the north."
Xu Jie's heart beat violently. He was not afraid of going to the grassland and being killed by the grassland people. Because such a thing would not happen. If the grassland kills him, there would be no benefit. What he was afraid of was that his mission to the northern grassland would have two consequences.
