If Emperor Jiajing had the intention to kill him, he should have held him high, but now he has not done so, just looking at the reward for him, there is a kind of tempering him, wanting to leave him to the next emperor.

However, when you think about it, this is not entirely the case.

Although he was not promoted in his official position, his title was promoted to a first-class Yanglin Hou. And Ma Fang did not let Ma Fang stay in the cabinet in order to balance himself, as Luo Xin speculated, but let Ma Fang serve as the secretary of the military department. The military department is also in charge of military power, from this point of view, Emperor Jiajing is using Ma Fang to balance himself, and Emperor Jiajing's imagination really makes Luo Xin have a trace of fear.

Another change is that the secretary of the ministry has changed, and Zou Yinglong has been appointed as the secretary of the ministry. In the past few months at the border, Luo Xin has almost not been in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and has been leading troops across the grassland to clear obstacles on the grassland for Zhongjin Hatun. So when he was suddenly transferred back to the capital and met Zhou Yu and others, he realized that his brothers were really hard, and the situation between the DPRK and China was also developing in a direction that Luo Xin did not want to see.

After Zou Yinglong served as the secretary of the ministry, he was in charge of the ministry, that is, he was in charge of the promotion of officials. He is Xu Jie's loyal friend, in the past, Xu Jie's wanted to control the promotion of officials, and there was Guo Pu, the secretary of the ministry, but now the secretary of the ministry has been replaced by Zou Yinglong, which is equivalent to the complete control of the ministry and Xu Jie. And Xu Jie doesn't need to take action in person, he goes into battle shirtless, as long as he has any meaning, Zou Yinglong will take the lead, so that Xu Jie has room to maneuver.

In this way, in these months, Xu Jie gradually controlled the government 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 start making things difficult for Jinyang Jiujie through Zou Yinglong, Luo Xin was no longer in the capital, and Zhou Yu's eight difficult brothers and brothers were guilty. The rest of the people are just that, they are still studying in the Hanlin Academy, not when they are officials, and they are not in the time of the assessment of the officials, but Zhou Yu, Zhang Xun, and Luo Zhi participated in the compilation of the "Yuan History", which was originally compiled a year ago, but was asked to go by Xu Jie, and then criticized it, saying that the compilation was a mess, let them recompile it, and if they did not grow up, the officials would give them a bad evaluation.

The second thing is that Xu Jie stretched his hand into the southeast.

The two major troubles of the Ming Dynasty are the northern grasslands and the southeastern wokou.

Now that the war in the north has been resolved, I have to say that in this war in the north, Xu Jie not only did not have the slightest credit, but also lost people. has a big blow to Xu Jie's reputation, if it weren't for Emperor Jiajing, who doesn't know what reason, has been supporting Xu Jie, what does Xu Jie's proposal have, Emperor Jiajing is approved, Xu Jie's would have been squeezed aside by Gao Gong a long time ago. Therefore, Xu Jie's heart was very anxious, if he wanted to regain his reputation, he had to do something that would make the government and the opposition respectful. The only ones who can barely be compared with the war in the north are the southeastern Japanese invaders.

And he has a chance, thinking that Hu Zongxian in the southeast has not done anything, and the southeast is still erosive, so Xu Jie thought about replacing Hu Zongxian with his own people and fighting a beautiful battle in the southeast, so that the world knows that Da Ming is not only Luo Xin will strategize and win thousands of miles, but he Xu Jie can also.

However, Luo Xinxin knew very well that Hu Zongxian was suspected of raising troops for self-respect, but since the fall of Yan Song, Hu Zongxian has no backstage, and he no longer dares to raise troops for self-respect, and he has indeed won a few battles recently.

To say that this Hu Zongxian is also a hard-working person, Emperor Jiajing originally cultivated him as the first assistant of the cabinet, and kept transferring him to various official positions, but he did not give him a promotion, giving people a feeling of suppressing Hu Zongxian, and the self-righteous Emperor Jiajing did not tell Hu Zongxian his own thoughts, he thought that a qualified cabinet chief assistant must have that understanding and realize it himself.

But......

Hu Zongxian didn't realize it, and gradually lost his patience, and finally defected to Yan Song. This hard-working child, not long after defecting to Yan Song, this Yan Song was overthrown by Luo Xin.

However, there is no one in Daming who knows more about the Japanese than Hu Zongxian, and the best way is for Emperor Jiajing to talk to Hu Zongxian and let Hu Zongxian take the initiative to fight the Japanese invaders. But this was difficult for the proud Emperor Jiajing. Then the middle strategy should also force Hu Zongxian to fight, and the only way to replace Hu Zongxian is to replace him.

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 will inevitably run rampant again. It is likely that because of the southeast corner, it will cause turmoil in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Yu Gong, Xu Jie's doing this is to plunge Daming into chaos.

For selfishness, Luo Xin was not willing to let Xu Jie suppress himself like this.

But how do you break the game?

Luo Xin's heart was also very sad, Emperor Jiajing's mind was unclear, and Luo Xin knew that he was now a master and could not be easily moved.

The only thing that pleased him was that after several months of hard work, although Zhongjin Hatun had not yet unified the grassland, it had become one of the largest forces in the grassland.

While thinking about it, he returned to his courtyard, came to the wing room, pushed open the door, and saw Zhou Yu and others sitting around the table, and when they saw Luo Xin coming in, they all laughed. Zhou Yu got up and came to Luo Xin's side, hooked his shoulders and said:

"No, I forgot my friends when I saw it!"

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

"Must be punished!" Everyone also stood up and coaxed Luo Xin together.

"Admit punishment, admit punishment!"

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

"Good!"

There was a shout, and then everyone sat down and began to gossip. Now that everyone has entered the officialdom, it is natural that the content of the conversation will soon involve officialdom.

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

"The court has been changing in the past few months! The officials inspected the 613 provinces in the south and north, and dismissed more than 20 officials above the fourth rank on charges of old age, illness, incompetence, greed, and so on. ”

Yun Zhiqiu sighed and said, "Isn't it the same in the capital? In the capital plus the local officials, regardless of the rank, nearly 400 people were disposed of, and almost all of them were from the Xu Party, and almost all of them were forced into a corner. ”
