Thank you very much for ds99(100) for your reward!

I sat there and thought for a while, shook my head, no longer thinking about the hardships of King Yu's life. After thinking about it, I would go to the Ministry of Revenue tomorrow, and I couldn't help but sigh.

The second day.

Luo Xin continued to go to the Ministry of Revenue, and then went to the Prince Yu's Mansion every three days. In the current Ming Dynasty, there may be some people who are more knowledgeable than Luo Xin in one aspect, but if they have broad knowledge, no one can compare to him. Every time they get along with King Yu, Luo Xin will tell you a lot of knowledge to King Yu, and most of them will explain it in the form of stories, which made King Yu very interested and inspired, which made the relationship between King Yu and Luo Xin increasingly deeper.

This day.

Luo Xin came back from the Ministry of Revenue and continued to report to Xu Jie according to the rules. When he was traveling through the cabinet, everyone in the cabinet looked at Luo Xin with pity. Luo Xin also knew in his heart that today was the last day that Xu Jie had limited him to one month, and today was probably the time when Xu Jie gave him ugly.

Seeing the pity that looked at him, Luo Xin smiled bitterly, but his expression was still calm, without any frustration. He came to Xu Jie's yamen room, and after reporting, he walked in. Xu Jie looked at Luo Xin without saying a word, Luo Xin also looked at Xu Jie without any retreat. The relationship between the two had broken up, and Luo Xin did not need to pretend to be a grandson, as long as he maintained basic etiquette.

When Xu Jie saw Luo Xin's calm expression, a hint of anger gradually emerged in his heart and said lightly:

"His Majesty's money to repair the palace is back?"

Luo Xin said lightly: "No."

A hint of sneer appeared on Xu Jie's mouth: "Your Majesty asked about this yesterday. Please follow me to explain to Your Majesty in person."

After saying that, Xu Jie stood up and walked out the door. Luo Xin followed without saying a word, just thinking quickly in his heart on the way.

When Emperor Jiajing met him last time, he didn't seem to pay much attention to the renovation of the palace. Why do you suddenly care about this matter again?

"Is it because Xu Jie gave himself eye drops in front of Emperor Jiajing again?"

After following Xu Jie to the imperial study room, Luo Xin saw Emperor Jiajing's gloomy face and his heart sank.

"My teacher, Xu Jie!"

"Chen, Luo Xin!"

"Long live your life when you meet your Majesty!"

"No gift!" Emperor Jiajing's voice sounded coldly. After the two of them stood up, Emperor Jiajing looked at Xu Jie coldly and said:

"Xu Qing, now all officials have not given out a full salary for three months. How do you, the chief minister of the cabinet?"

"I know the crime!"

Xu Jie knelt down with a flushed face. At this time, he admired Yan Song in his heart. At least when Yan Song was in the cabinet, the salaries of all officials could be paid. Now in the court, he began to have bad comments about Xu Jie. He said that Xu Jie was also a corrupt official, with hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land at home, but his ability was not as good as Yan Song. He only cared about his enjoyment and ignored all officials.

Why is Qianli an official?

Isn't it just for one money?

Now, I can't even pay my salary, and all the officials are secretly surging. Xu Jie has had a hard time these days, and his hair is half white. He is angry, but he can't tell it.

Can the current situation in the Ming Dynasty be the same as when Yan Song was in power?

The north was almost killed, burned, and robbed by Huang Taiji. This year's crops were not expected to be harvested, so naturally the taxes would not be expected to be collected. Moreover, the court also needs to allocate funds to help the north recover. Even so, the north is now deserted, and there are people who starve to death every day. And it is about to be winter. When Huang Taiji's army passed by, they burned whatever they saw. Now, the northern people don't even have a place to live. If winter comes, they may freeze to death immediately. The situation is so bad that if the people's living problems cannot be solved before winter comes, there may be riots.

But can he say these words? Is it useful? Isn’t your cabinet prime minister just to solve these problems? If you can’t solve them, you are still the chief minister of the desert? Is it okay to change someone else?

Now the wind direction in the court is very unfavorable to Xu Jie. There is a saying that has been circulated in the capital, that is, if Gao Gong is given as the chief minister of the cabinet, it will definitely be better than Xu Jie. In this case, how dare Xu Jie bring bitterness? If he dares to bring bitterness and pass it to Emperor Jiajing, I am afraid that Emperor Jiajing will say immediately:

"Okay, since you can't be the chief minister of the cabinet, then change it to Gao Gong."

At this time, Xu Jie knelt on the ground, his heart full of powerlessness. Emperor Jiajing above said nothing, and the imperial study room became silent. The heavy atmosphere was pressing like water. Even Luo Xin, who was standing aside, felt the pressure. Then Xu Jie was scolded by Emperor Jiajing, and he might not be able to hide.

Sure enough, Emperor Jiajing's voice sounded coldly again: "Luo Xin, Ministry of Revenue, have you been away for a long time?"

"Yes!" Luo Xin lowered his head and whispered.

"Winter is coming soon, you want me to live in this house with airtightness on all sides?"

"I am guilty!" Luo Xin also knelt down, but he was cursing in his heart, "You can be considered a breathable house?" What is the thatched house where the people in the north live?

"Ministry of Revenue, you don't have to run away!" Emperor Jiajing said lightly.

Luo Xin was delighted, but then Emperor Jiajing's words made him speechless: "I will leave it to you to repair this Wanshou Palace for me. No matter what method you use, I must repair it for me."

"That money?"

"You go and find a way." Emperor Jiajing said coldly.

Luo Xin couldn't help but scratch his head, and then asked, "Is that okay for me?"

"As long as you don't violate the rules, you can do whatever you want." A curiosity flashed in Emperor Jiajing's eyes. He found that when Luo Xin heard his request, there was no panic or embarrassment on his face. He couldn't help but think in his heart:

"Is this kid really a solution?"

"Rules!" Luo Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Then I can borrow the sign of 'Royal', right?"

Emperor Jiajing frowned and asked in confusion: "Borrow the royal sign? How to borrow it?"

"It is to let everyone in the world know that this is repairing the palace for the royal family."

"This is originally a palace repair for the royal family, it's right."

"Also, this matter cannot be done by me alone..."

"Who do you want?"

"Zhou Yu..." Luo Xin was not polite and directly pointed out the names of the other eight people of Jinyang Jiujie, and Emperor Jiajing also reported them one by one.

"Thank you, your Majesty, I'll go down and find a way."

"Go!" After saying that, Emperor Jiajing glanced at Xu Jie and said, "You should also retreat. Next month, I don't want to see all officials unable to pay their salaries."

"Yes, the old minister sued."

Xu Jie and Luo Xin walked out of the imperial study room. Xu Jie walked in front and Luo Xin walked behind. Both of them walked with their heads down, thinking about their own things. Suddenly, Xu Jie, who was walking in front, slowed down and said lightly:

"Do you know who recommended you to His Majesty?"

"Aren't you?" Luo Xin said in his heart, but he shook his head on the surface:

"have no idea!"

"Gao Gong!" Xu Jie said two words lightly, then accelerated his pace and left.

Looking at Xu Jie's back, Luo Xin understood. Gao Gong still wanted to leave the capital by himself. Although he has received support from Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing's support for him is far less than that for Xu Jie at the time.

What does this mean?

This shows that Emperor Jiajing was still worried about Gao Gong and Luo Xin, and was afraid that Gao Gong and Luo Xin would join forces. In other words, if Luo Xin did not leave the capital for a day, Emperor Jiajing would not increase his support for Gao Gong. Once Gao Gong became bigger, he would turn to support Xu Jie. He would definitely not support Gao Gong or Xu Jie like before, as he supported Yan Song.

So, if conditions permit, would Emperor Jiajing support Gao Gong or Xu Jie like he did before?

Whether it was Gao Gong or Xu Jie, he actually had a very clear understanding of the character of Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing was a person who was afraid of trouble. In order to practice Taoism, he could hand over everything to Yan Song. This was why Yan Song monopolizes the government and has power over the government. However, Emperor Jiajing, who has grown this year, felt that his life seemed to be in the near future. At this time, he was more urgent about practicing Taoism, hoping to prolong his life with the help of practicing Taoism. Therefore, Gao Gong and Xu Jie knew very well that if Emperor Jiajing could find someone worthy of his trust, he did not need to trust very much. He only needed to have six to eight points of trust, and he would definitely throw the government affairs to that person, and Emperor Jiajing would devote himself to practicing Taoism. Because Emperor Jiajing had already reached the level of obsession with practicing Taoism.

Emperor Jiajing included Gao Gong into the cabinet, hoping to conduct an assessment through the comparison between Gao Gong and Xu Jie. If these two people pass his assessment, he will throw the government to whom. This was originally the plan of Emperor Jiajing.

but……

Now that Luo Xin is born, Emperor Jiajing is very afraid.

If Luo Xin was just a simple literati, Emperor Jiajing would not only not be afraid, but also very happy. He would train Luo Xin as the future chief minister and leave it to his son.

However, Luo Xin was not a simple literati. Not only was it not, but he also had a very high prestige in the army and was praised by the Ming Dynasty as the God of War.

No matter how high the prestige of a literati is, no matter how powerful the literati is, the emperor is not afraid of the literati. Just like Yan Song, he monopolizes the government and has power over the ritual.

But, so what?

Didn’t it just say that Emperor Jiajing collapsed with a loud bang?

Because Emperor Jiajing knew in his heart that literati had no basis for rebellion, their honor, disgrace, rise and fall depended on their own words. If they were given trust, they would be in power. On the contrary, they would knock them down and they would not have the slightest ability to resist.

However, warriors are different.

The warriors chaotic country were the reason why emperors of all dynasties were afraid of. Therefore, Emperor Jiajing was very afraid of Luo Xin. As long as Luo Xin was there, he would not be able to give Gao Gong and Xu Jie a truly fair assessment.

Does Xu Jie understand this?

Of course he understood, but he knew that Emperor Jiajing wanted to suppress Luo Xin and make excessive actions by urging Luo Xin to resent in his heart. In this way, Emperor Jiajing would take thunderous actions against Luo Xin and truly pull out Luo Xin. Therefore, he firmly implemented Emperor Jiajing's thoughts, but found that Luo Xin was not like a sixteen-year-old man, but like a sixty-year-old man, and could truly endure it.

To be honest, Xu Jie was scared when he saw Luo Xin's forbearance. He was afraid that once Luo Xin survived this most difficult period, he would take revenge on him in the future.

But, is there any way he can? On one side is Emperor Jiajing and on the other side is Luo Xin, he naturally chose Emperor Jiajing.

Gao Gong is much smarter than Xu Jie in this regard. He did not choose to join forces with Xu Jie to suppress Luo Xin, nor did he choose to join forces with Luo Xin. Instead, he came up with a way to let Luo Xin leave the capital. However, he found that Luo Xin did not seem to leave the capital at all. Especially in the past month, after being named the Right Zhongyun of the Zhan Shi Mansion by Emperor Jiajing in the past month, and became the teacher of King Yu, it seemed that Luo Xin had no intention of leaving the capital, so he became anxious.

Because he knew that if Luo Xin did not leave the capital for one day, Emperor Jiajing would not give him and Xu Jie a real assessment. In other words, only if Luo Xin died... or left the capital, Emperor Jiajing's assessment of him and Xu Jie would truly begin, and his battle with Xu Jie would truly begin.

Under this idea, Gao Gong finally couldn't help it. When he and Xu Jie met Emperor Jiajing to discuss financial difficulties, Gao Gong pretended to be unintentional and said Luo Xinshan's financial management. He thought that Luo Xin's family was poor at the beginning, but Luo Xin was able to make the family rich in a very short time.

No one knows Luo Xin better than Emperor Jiajing. He thought that he had investigated Luo Xin's ancestors clearly at the beginning. Now that he heard Gao Gong say this, he recalled it again and felt that it was really happening for a while.

Moreover, Emperor Jiajing thought about it carefully and felt that this was really a solution to Luo Xin. If Luo Xin was really good at managing finances, he would send Luo Xin out and let him leave the capital to make money for himself. In this way, Luo Xin stayed away from the center of the court and his influence would inevitably be reduced.

Um!

He sent Luo Xin to the south, and Luo Xin was not only far away from the center of the court, but also from the north, and Luo Xin's influence in the army was mainly in the north. In this way, Luo Xin would gradually lose influence on the government and the military. Then he used the work of making money to completely tie Luo Xin, so that Luo Xin had no energy to take care of other things, and Luo Xin's threat could be completely solved. The most important thing was that it could also solve the financial problems of the Ming Dynasty. Now Emperor Jiajing is so poor that he is crazy.

Not to mention that Luo Xin is still so low-key, even if Luo Xin is high-profile, in the case of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Jiajing would tolerate it and let Luo Xin make money for him first.

But...Is Luo Xin really good at financial management?

Emperor Jiajing was not so confused that he could just listen to the wind and rain, so he was still going to conduct an assessment of Luo Xin first. The assessment questions were all ready-made, that is, let Luo Xin solve the source of money for repairing Wanshou Palace. As long as Luo Xin can solve this problem, it proves that Luo Xin is good at managing finances. That is why the summoning Luo Xin today happened.
