Xu Jie and Gao Gong were furious.

Luo Xin killed more than 30 officials in one go, including Gao Gong and Xu Jie. Their anger was not the ones that Xu Jie killed them. They also saw the crimes of the more than 30 officials announced by Luo Xin.

It's corruption, and the amount of corruption is still very large.

But, just dismissal from office, why should we be killed? We are scholars, so how could we be killed because of corruption?

Moreover, if you kill more than thirty, this is a province. After you have finished seven provinces, how many are you going to kill? What did you treat the officials as? They are the lambs that slaughtered?

This will cause a big mess. The reason why civil officials have a transcendent status is that once they become officials, they will almost get a gold medal for avoiding death. Even the emperor will dismiss the civil servants who committed crimes, and will rarely kill them. This is the privilege of civil servants. Now Luo Xin has torn this privilege and once he has given the emperor an impression, civil servants can also kill them like military officers. They can kill others today and kill me tomorrow.

The officials in the capital suddenly united, and under Gao Gong and Xu Jie led the report to impeach Luo Xin. However, Emperor Jiajing didn't even look at it. He was reading Luo Xin's memorial at this time, smiling. It records how much gold and silver were found in a group in Shandong, and how much land was obtained.

This is just a Shandong province. Don’t forget that this time Luo Xin is preparing to travel through seven identities. From seven provinces to come down, the money obtained from the house search should be able to cope with the Ming Dynasty’s finances for more than a year or even two years. Moreover, the land obtained from the house search can also alleviate the Ming Dynasty’s tax revenue and solve the Ming Dynasty’s financial difficulties.

As long as you can make yourself clean, what are the memorials of Xu Jie and Gao Gong doing?

Isn’t it just killing the civil servant?

I have already arranged a backup plan for Luo Xin. If I kill him here, someone will replace him immediately. The world will be in chaos. It is these corrupt officials who have made my world unstable. What should I do if I keep them?

For half a month, the emperor did not see the court officials and kept the memorials. When the capital received Luo Xin and went to another province and killed more than 40 officials, Gao Gong couldn't help it. He immediately found Xu Jie.

"Mr. Xu, as the chief minister of the cabinet, are you watching Luo Xin killing officials like this?"

Xu Jie frowned and said, "We have all submitted a memorial. Your Majesty will keep you at the end of the Communist Party of China. What can we do?"

Speaking of this, he sighed and said, "Since His Majesty took office, great etiquette has appeared. Now, in just one month, more than 70 officials have been killed, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for civil servants to be."

"Bang!" Gao Gong slapped the table and said, "Luo Xin can't continue to kill like this."

"What are you going to do?" Xu Jie looked up at Gao Gong.

"Please give your Majesty a memorial."

"We've already been there." Xu Jie looked at Gao Gong in confusion.

"This time is different!" Gao Gong said seriously: "If Your Majesty does not call Luo Xin back this time, we will retire and return home together."

Xu Jie's face changed, which was clearly forcing Emperor Jiajing. With Emperor Jiajing's temperament, he would never compromise, and that would be a big storm.

and……

I have now made His Majesty angry. If I do this, no matter what others do, I am the chief minister of the cabinet...

No!

I'm afraid he is not only the chief minister of the cabinet, but the real retirement and return home.

Xu Jie worked hard all his life, not to retire and return home. Therefore, his expression hesitated. Gao Gong's face said sarcastically:

"Mr. Xu, are you scared?"

Xu Jie took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, shook his head and said:

"It's not that I'm afraid, but that you think of the serious consequences of this matter?"

"What are the serious consequences?" Gao Gong sneered: "At most, I will be dismissed from office. It's better if this official is not appointed."

"No!" Xu Jie shook his head and said, "We have submitted a memorial. If His Majesty continues to stay and don't send it, he will ignore it. What should we do?"

"Of course I was forcing the palace in front of the palace."

Gao Gong was really anxious and didn't even avoid the word "forced to be a ward." Xu Jie sighed and said:

"Now the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil, with refugees everywhere, and bandits everywhere. There are Japanese pirates in the south and Goryeo in the north. In this situation, all officials do not work or do things, but force the palace outside the palace gate. The Ming Dynasty government suddenly becomes paralyzed. At that time, disaster relief will not be timely and bandit suppression will not go smoothly. Once the Japanese pirates in the north and south and Goryeo are silently attacking, we are the criminals of the Ming Dynasty. You are not forcing the palace to force the future of yourself and the officials, but forcing the lives of the people in the Ming Dynasty. I can't do it."

"you……"

How could Gao Gong know that this was clearly an excuse Xu Jie found?

If Xu Jie was devoted to his work for the people, how could he build Yuxi Palace for Emperor Jiajing? How could he ignore the refugees and eventually lead to bandits?

Xu Jie was obviously afraid of being demoted to a commoner by Emperor Jiajing. At this time, Xu Jie really made Gao Gong feel disappointed. He shook his sleeves and walked outside, saying:

"I didn't believe it before. Now it seems that you are not only a timid coward, but also a treacherous minister who is not even as good as Yan Song."

"Rare!" Xu Jie threw the teacup in his hand to the ground with a "bang", but Gao Gong had already slammed the door and left.

Gao Gong returned to his duty room. When Wang Xijue saw Gao Gong's face turned pale, he stepped forward and asked carefully:

"grown ups?"

Gao Gong sat on the chair with anger and said, "I'll go to my husband's house tonight."

"Yes, sir?"

"That old man Xu Jie is timid and cowardly. He dares not go to the palace gate to force the palace. If he doesn't go, we will go."

Wang Xijue's face changed at that time.

"grown ups……"

He wanted to say no, but when he saw Gao Gong's shiny face, he didn't dare to say it. Gao Gong glared at him and said:

"What? Are you timid and cowardly? Don't dare to go?"

"No!" Wang Xijue smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, have you considered the consequences?"

Gao Gong blew his beard and stared at him, "What are the consequences?"

Wang Xijue said arduously: "Your Majesty keeps the single-core Luo Xin's memorial and does not send it, which shows Your Majesty's attitude towards this matter. Then Xu Jie must also know the result of the forced palace. Sir, have you forgotten the great etiquette?"

"I haven't forgotten!" Gao Gong's expression returned to calm, and a righteous look appeared on his face and said, "At worst, you can retire and return home."

"But once Mr. Gao returns to his hometown, the Ming Dynasty will be Xu Jie's. Who else can suppress Xu Jie in the court? Will the Ming Dynasty be destroyed during the Xu Jie's dynasty? Are you willing to watch Xu Jie breaking the Ming Dynasty?"

Gao Gong was silent.
