Chapter 601 Chaotic court situation

Please subscribe!

If Emperor Jiajing had the intention to kill him, he should have picked him up high, but he did not do so now. Just looking at the rewards to him, there is a sense of tempering him and wanting to leave him to the next emperor.

However, after careful consideration, it is not exactly the case.

Although he was not promoted to his official position, he promoted his title to a first-class Yanglin Hou. Moreover, Ma Fang did not, as Luo Xin speculated, let Ma Fang continue to stay in the cabinet in order to balance himself, but instead let Ma Fang serve as the Minister of War. The Minister of War was also in charge of military power. From this point of view, Emperor Jiajing was using Ma Fang to balance himself, and his imagination of Emperor Jiajing really made Luo Xin feel a little afraid of him.

Another change was that the Minister of Personnel was changed, and Zou Yinglong was actually appointed as the Minister of Personnel. Luo Xin had almost never been in the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the border for several months, and had been carrying troops across the grasslands to clear obstacles on the grasslands for Zhongjinhatun. So when he was suddenly transferred back to the capital and met Zhou Yu and others, he realized that his brothers were living a hard life, and the situation in the court also developed in the direction that Luo Xin did not want to see.

After Zou Yinglong became the Minister of Personnel, he was in charge of the complete collection of the Ministry of Personnel, that is, the complete collection of official promotions. He was Xu Jie's loyal friend. In the past, Xu Jie wanted to control the promotion of officials, but Guo Pu, the Minister of Personnel, was separated from him. However, now the Minister of Personnel has been replaced by Zou Yinglong, which is equivalent to Xu Jie's complete control. Moreover, Xu Jie does not need to take action personally and go into battle bare hands. As long as he has any meaning, Zou Yinglong will lead the way, giving Xu Jie room to maneuver.

In this way, Xu Jie gradually controlled the government affairs and gained the upper hand in the competition with Gao Gong. After gaining the upper hand in the competition with Gao Gong, the first thing Xu Jie did was to make things difficult for the Jiujie of Jinyang through Zou Yinglong. Luo Xin was no longer in the capital, and Zhou Yu's eight brothers in distress were punished. The others were just the same. They were still studying in the Hanlin Academy. Before they became officials, it was not the time for the Ministry of Personnel to be assessed. However, Zhou Yu, Zhang Xun, and Luo Zhi participated in the compilation of "History of Yuan Dynasty". The compilation was completed a year ago, but Xu Jie first asked for it, and then criticized it, saying that the compilation was a mess and asked them to recompil it. If they did not make progress, the Ministry of Personnel would give them bad reviews.

The second thing is that Xu Jie reached into the southeast.

Two major troubles in the Ming Dynasty, one was the northern grassland and the other was the Japanese pirates in the southeast.

Now that the war in the north has been resolved, it has to be said that in this war in the north, Xu Jie not only did not make any contribution, but also lost people. It has a great blow to Xu Jie's reputation. If Emperor Jiajing had not known the reason, he had been supporting Xu Jie recently. If Emperor Jiajing had any suggestions, the capital of the Jiajing Emperor was accurate, and Xu Jie would have been squeezed to the edge by Gao Gong. Therefore, Xu Jie was very anxious. If he wanted to regain his reputation, he had to do something that would be respected by the government and the people. Only the Japanese pirates in the southeast could barely be compared with the war in the north.

Moreover, he had the opportunity. He thought that Hu Zongxian in the southeast had no effect and was still in ruins in the southeast. Xu Jie thought of replacing Hu Zongxian with his own people and fighting a beautiful battle in the southeast, so that the people of the world knew that the Ming Dynasty was not just Luo Xinhui and strategizing and winning a thousand miles, but Xu Jie could do it too.

However, Luo Xin knew very well that Hu Zongxian used to be suspected of raising soldiers and respecting themselves, but since Yan Song fell, Hu Zongxian has no background and dared not raise soldiers and respecting themselves. He has indeed won several victories recently.

Hu Zongxian was also a miserable person. Originally, Emperor Jiajing trained him as the chief minister of the cabinet and kept mobilizing him to hold official positions in all aspects, but he did not give him a promotion, giving people the feeling of suppressing Hu Zongxian. Moreover, the stubborn Emperor Jiajing did not tell Hu Zongxian what he thought. He believed that a qualified chief minister of the cabinet must have the understanding and realize it himself.

but……

Hu Zongxian did not realize it, and gradually lost his patience, and finally defected to Yan Song. Not long after this miserable child defected to Yan Song, Yan Song was destroyed by Luo Xin.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, there is no one who knows Japanese pirates better than Hu Zongxian. The best way is to talk to Hu Zongxian with all his heart and let Hu Zongxian take the initiative to attack Japanese pirates. However, this is difficult for the proud Jiajing Emperor. Then Zhongjing should also force Hu Zongxian to fight. Only the worst strategy is to replace Hu Zongxian.

Once Hu Zongxian is replaced, no matter who is sent, a person who is not familiar with the Southeast will inevitably cause chaos, and the Japanese pirates will inevitably become rampant again. The Ming Dynasty seems to have just defeated the grassland, but it seems to be powerful, but in fact it is already full of holes and cannot withstand the toss and turns. It is very likely that the entire Ming Dynasty will cause turmoil because of the southeast corner.

Yu Gong and Xu Jie did this to put the Ming Dynasty in chaos.

For personal gain, Luo Xin was not willing to let Xu Jie suppress him like this.

But how to break the deadlock?

Luo Xin was also very worried. Emperor Jiajing was confused. Luo Xin knew that he was now extremely capable and could not move easily.

The only thing that made him feel relieved was that after several months of hard work, although Zhongjinhatun had not yet unified the grassland, it has become one of the largest forces in the grassland.

While thinking, he returned to his yard and came to the wing room. He pushed open the door and saw Zhou Yu and others sitting around the table. When Luo Xin came in, they all laughed. Zhou Yu stood up and came to Luo Xin, and said with his arms around:

"No, I forget my friends when I see the beauty!"

Zhang Xun also stood up and said, "Three glasses of wine."

"Must punish!" Everyone also stood up and cheered towards Luo Xin.

"Acknowledge the punishment, accept the punishment!"

Luo Xin walked to the table, opened three wine cups, poured three wine cups, then picked them up and drank them all one by one.

"good!"

Everyone shouted for a while, and then everyone sat down and started chatting. Now that everyone has entered the officialdom, the content of the conversation quickly involved the officialdom.

Luo Zhi is the oldest here, and he has no scruples when speaking in front of his juniors.

"The court has been changing in the past few months! The Ministry of Personnel has investigated the seven and sixty and three provinces in the south, north, and has dismissed more than twenty officials of the fourth rank and above for crimes such as old age, illness, incompetence, greed, etc.."

Yun Zhiqiu sighed and said, "Isn't the same in the capital? The capital and local officials, regardless of the grade, have nearly 400 people being disposed of. Almost all of them are from the Xu Party, and Lord Gao Gong is almost forced into a corner."
