Chapter 1574 Longqing's sense of security

Luo Xin looked at Feng Bao and said, "Eunuch Feng, do you really want to go to the road of Wang Zhen, Wang Zhi and Liu Jin?"

Feng Bao was sweating all over his clothes. He didn't want to die, and he didn't want to die like Wang Zhen, Wang Zhi and Liu Jin. And he thought about it at this time, if he really let himself go, he would really commit suicide.

Luo Xin looked at Emperor Longqing again and said, "Your Majesty still remembers the Tumu Fort Incident?"

Emperor Longqing's face changed. The change of Tumu Fort was too close to him, which was always a shame for the Ming Dynasty. At this moment, Emperor Longqing was really scared. The expression on his face changed for a long time, and finally spoke in a little frustrated:

"Master Luo, are you saying that I listened and believed it?"

Luo Xin nodded and said, "Your Majesty has recently taken the initiative to close the contact with the outer court, and he resists hearing the sound of the outer court in his heart."

"But..." Emperor Longqing's face suddenly turned red and said, "You have also seen how they bullied me. It is said that the emperor is arbitrary, but it is my turn, not at all. In the court, they talked endlessly, spoke in a lingering manner, and even cursed me, not taking me seriously at all.

I don’t know how to manage politics, but I can’t blame me as soon as I speak, regardless of what I say or what I am right or wrong.

Is this still the same as being a minister?"

Emperor Longqing became more and more angry as he spoke. He stood up. It seemed that he had been holding it in for a long time, and no one had listened to him. Now that he caught Luo Xin, another person he trusted, he poured out all the words in his heart.’

"Then I don't speak or go to court, is this okay?

But, look at how those so-called ministers do it?

They accused me of greed for pleasure and being too debauchery. If this continues, I will definitely lose my power.

There has never been an emperor as cowardly as me in the Ming Dynasty. I am the emperor. I want to buy some jewelry for my concubines. How much can it cost? But what about those so-called ministers?

He didn't give a penny, and the Ministry of Revenue did not give a penny. He also accused me of wasting it. He even wrote a book to impeach me.

Do they think I don’t know their virtues?

They all accept bribes and take longings, but they ask me to be a pure and seldom-desirable person. Do not do to others what they do not want others to do to them. Did they read the books of sages in vain?”

"If Master Luo had not solved the problem of the Maritime Trade and the Trade Fair and gave the treasury some money, I still would not have the money to buy some jewelry for my concubines.

Now that I have some money in my treasury, I want to go to the suburbs of Beijing to relax. However, they did not allow me to leave the palace on the grounds of safety.

What are they trying to do?

Do you raise me as a pig?

What's even more excessive is that these people actually took out the private affairs of my palace and discussed them openly. Can they discuss this at will?

If you ignore national affairs, you just have to take care of private affairs in the royal palace. How low is this morality?"

Luo Xinran, in fact, he knew in his heart that those censors were indeed too much. Under the strong suppression of Emperor Jiajing, they had been so depressed that they had been venting for too long, and now they were venting all their energy on Emperor Longqing. Especially in order to attack Gao Gong, Xu Jie drove Gao Gong out of the cabinet and indulged the censors. In order to counter Xu Jie, Gao Gong also indulged the censors. Both sides had no lower limit to impeach each other. The most terrifying thing is that once this person had no lower limit, he would go further and further on the road without lower limit.

Now Xu Jie has been driven out of the cabinet, and Luo Xin and Gao Gong have not yet really broken up, and both sides are still restraining. The censors could not find a hole to vent, so they pointed the gun at the generous and cowardly Emperor Longqing.

After all, if there is no slap in the face, Emperor Longqing was forced to indulge the eunuchs by the censors.

Luo Xin listened silently to Emperor Longqing's complaint. He knew that he wanted Emperor Longqing to make this complaint come out, otherwise he would make Emperor Longqing go to another extreme. After Emperor Longqing finished venting, he sat there panting, and Luo Xin said softly:

"Some censors have lost their character in the scholars and forests, and have made inappropriate status and are sensational. They must be punished for such people. However, Your Majesty, you cannot be blinded by all the officials in the court. Moreover, the existence of censors was established by Taizu, who advised the emperor in class, inspected all officials, and inspected local officials and military affairs. Therefore, from major national affairs to minor civil affairs, they are all within the scope of supervision of censors.

They can even report the news without being investigated. Taizu did this so that future generations can maintain their eternal powers.

Therefore, emperors of all generations have always had a tolerant heart towards what censors reported.

Your Majesty can agree with the letter from the censor, but he cannot ignore it or listen to it.

Your Majesty’s understanding of the censor is somewhat one-sided. It is just a window for Your Majesty to expand the audio-visual, so that Your Majesty will not stay in the palace and become a blind person. But whether you agree or not is in Your Majesty.”

Emperor Longqing thought something, and Luo Xin was not in a hurry. He picked up the tea cup, drank the tea slowly, and waited for Emperor Longqing to search for it himself.

After a long time, Emperor Longqing stretched out his eyebrows and said with a hoarse voice:

"I'm indeed wrong."

"The censors are more wrong." Luo Xin said seriously: "The censors are essentially much worse than the time of Taizu. There are many people who are seeking fame and arduous. In order to become famous and please, these people have no lower limits. They have defiled the solemnity of censors. It is time to purify them."

When Emperor Longqing heard this, he felt like a close friend, but then he remembered what happened today and looked at Luo Xin and said:

"What should I do about this today?"

Luo Xin said without any hesitation: "If you beat me, you will be beat me. The emperor's power is serious. Just demote him to the office for despising the emperor."

"good!"

Emperor Longqing was overjoyed and felt from the bottom of his heart that it was Luo Xin's support for him, and he immediately spoke:

"What about military supervision? There are indeed official military supervision officers in the "Huidian"."

Luo Xin understood in his heart that no emperor would give up military power, not to mention Emperor Longqing, which would make an emperor feel insecure. Not allowing eunuchs to supervise the army would not work at all. There were political commissaries in later generations.

Civil officials are called foreign ministers, and they are the targets that the emperor should beware of. The emperor still trusts eunuchs, because eunuchs are the emperor's slaves.

A slave is his family and his own.

"This is not impossible, it just needs to be restricted." Luo Xin looked at Emperor Longqing and said sincerely: "Your Majesty sent eunuchs to supervise the army, and the purpose of supervising the generals so that they will not do anything randomly."

"Yes!" Emperor Longqing nodded. Only by taking every move of the general into his own hands can he feel safe.

"But, did your Majesty ever think that if the eunuchs become bigger in the army, they will also do whatever they want?"

Emperor Longqing said with a stern expression: "Just like Wang Zhen?"
