Gradually, there were footsteps, and it was the official of the Ministry of Rites who had arrived. When they saw that Luo Xin was already sitting in the lobby, they couldn't help but be shocked. Not all officials are qualified to go to court, and most of the officials of the Ministry of Rites are not qualified to go to court. So they don't have to go to the court so early, they just come to work at the end of the day.

They were amazed in their hearts, why didn't Luo Xin go to the court today?

But the person who has the spirit immediately thought of it, I'm afraid that the emperor will not go to court again.

Originally, I wanted to come forward to meet Luo Xin, but when I saw that Luo Xin didn't raise his head, he got off work in the hall one by one, exchanging glances with each other, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

But everyone's eyes were glad that they weren't late today. Otherwise, you will be caught. It is said that there are three fires for the new official to take office, and no one is comfortable with the first fire burning on anyone's head.

The lobby was silent, except for the occasional sound of Luo Xin reviewing documents. The atmosphere was a little depressing, and everyone was a little depressed in their hearts, and they were all looking forward to someone coming quickly and returning to their own houses.

One after another, people came, and when they saw this scene, their faces turned green. Because they were all late, they stood cautiously at the bottom of the hall, exchanging glances with uneasy expressions. By the time the last official arrived, they were all more than half an hour late. At this time, Luo Xin raised his head and said lightly:

"Those who don't know are not guilty, today is the first time this official has ordered, forget it. Starting tomorrow, the roll call will be taken as soon as the time comes. Those who are late for three times without reason, and those who are absent from work once without reason, will be downgraded by one grade in the year-end assessment. Let's disperse. ”

When everyone saw Luo Xin's serious expression, they didn't dare to speak, and Shi Li retreated. Do things in a proper manner, but one by one laments in their hearts, they will have to endure the hard days in the future.

Time passed quickly, and it was almost noon. Luo Xin got up, left the yamen, and prepared to go outside to find a random restaurant to eat. He didn't call Tao Xingyan, he just entered the Ministry of Rites, and as a ministry, this is not very good.

As soon as he left the yamen, he was stopped by Feng Bao, and then Luo Xin followed Feng Bao to the palace. On the way, Luo Xin already had a speculation, and he couldn't help but complain secretly.

entered the palace and met Emperor Longqing, and Emperor Longqing said enthusiastically:

"No, come on, it's not interesting for me to eat alone, come and eat with me."

Luo Xin stood up and swept towards the dining table, there were only two dishes. A green vegetable, a pickle, a bowl of porridge was placed in front of Emperor Longqing, and on the table in front of another seat prepared for Luo Xin, there was also a bowl of porridge. Luo Xin couldn't help but slander:

"As for crying poor like this?"

Luo Xin did not sit on half of his ass cautiously like other officials, but sat on the chair generously and steadily, and said with a smile:

"The minister is hungry."

"Then hurry up and eat."

Emperor Longqing originally expected Luo Xin to say something when he saw that he was eating so badly, but when he was still King Yu before, didn't Luo Xin help him improve his life?

But he didn't expect that this time Luo Xin didn't say it at all, just said that he was hungry. Emperor Longqing rolled his eyes and ate with Luo Xin.

A bowl of porridge, Luo Xin quickly finished eating. As soon as he put down the bowl, Emperor Longqing said:

"No, you're not full, are you?"

Luo Xin touched his stomach and said with a satisfied face: "The minister is so full!" ”

Emperor Longqing's expression was stagnant, and his heart became anxious. Why didn't Luo Xin follow the script at all this time? Hurriedly said:

"How can a bowl of porridge be full?"

"Alas......" Luo Xin sighed and said: "The minister has just been appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he is busy with official affairs, and he is under a lot of pressure. ”

"Oh......"

Emperor Longqing was blocked strong enough, but Luo Xin said so, and you have no appetite for Emperor Longqing's Daming who is busy all day long, do you still want Luo Xin to be busy with silver for you?

It's a bit unspeakable!

"Lord Luo!" At this time, Feng Bao saw Emperor Longqing's embarrassment, so he spoke with a crying voice: "You are so busy that you have no appetite. But you have fought in the north and south, and your body is very strong. But Your Majesty's health is not as good as yours, Your Majesty works hard for state affairs, and he is so tired that he has no appetite, and he can only eat a little bit every day. You have to give your majesty something good, right? In this way, His Majesty's body will not collapse.

But, Lord Luo, look, what is Your Majesty eating now? Such food, Your Majesty's body ......"

"Feng Banban, needless to say." Emperor Longqing said with a righteous face: "The court has the difficulties of the court, I know it, don't be embarrassed." ”

Luo Xin secretly said: "Don't embarrass me? Didn't you call me today and put me in this battle? ”

So, Luo Xin said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, this is just a difficulty at the moment. Your Majesty has been wronged. However, in less than four months, the silver of the city and the mutual market will be escorted into Beijing. At the beginning, it was stipulated that there was a share of His Majesty's inner money in this silver. At that time, His Majesty will not lack silver. ”

"yes!" Feng Bao spoke first: "Since everyone knows that Your Majesty is not short of silver, and you are only borrowing it temporarily, and the people in the cabinet are unwilling, this is simply not taking Your Majesty seriously." Lord Lao Luo went and talked to them, and asked them to quickly admit their mistake to His Majesty and transfer the money. ”

Luo Xin's gaze looked at Feng Bao coldly, as sharp as a sword.

This is not a question of whether to borrow or not, Luo Xin knows very well that this is a matter of rules. Nowadays, there is no shortage of money, and it can be exchanged, but the rules cannot be broken. Once you borrowed it this time, what about next time?

Isn't the money of the inner treasury and the money of the imperial court completely mixed?

In this way, there are no rules, and Emperor Longqing will gradually regard the money of the court as his own money, and a faint monarch will be born.

Feng Bao has just taken on a big responsibility in the palace, and his heart has not yet been tempered, and he still has a subconscious fear of Luo Xin in his heart. Looking at Luo Xin's cold gaze, he couldn't help but shudder, and stammered:

"Our family...... It's just ...... For Your Majesty...... Grievances ......"

Luo Xin retracted his gaze, looked at Emperor Longqing and said, "Your Majesty, there is not much silver in the imperial court now, and we have to wait for a few months later, it is the silver from the city and the mutual market that will be sent over." And during this period, the crown prince's gift is also held, which requires a large amount of silver. The cabinet is also very embarrassed, I hope Your Majesty will understand. ”

"That'...... Your Majesty is not very embarrassed? Feng Bao spoke again.

"yes!" At this time, Emperor Longqing also nodded and said: "No, I have no face in the harem now, if I can't even control the harem, am I still the emperor?" ”

Luo Xin was silent. At this time, he had a trace of murderous intent towards Feng Bao in his heart, he was sure that there must be Feng Bao's instigation and advice in this matter, and Emperor Longqing's character would only feel wronged, but he would not think of so much.
