Fei Hong is a person with a generous personality, Shi Xuan said that Xu Jin lacked knowledge, after all, there is no end to learning, even Kong Sheng, who is the master of all ages, said that there must be my teacher in the threesome, so it is not a shame to not have enough knowledge. However, Shi Xuan's derogatory derogation of Xu Jin's character is undoubtedly even a slapped on the face of Fei Hong, a teacher, as the so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, Shi Xuan reprimanded Xu Jin's character, which is equivalent to reprimanding Fei Hong's character.

Because of this, the generous old Fei was also angry, and he stood up and opened his mouth to Shi Xuan, the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites (and a bachelor of Hanlin).

Shi Xuan naturally couldn't give an example of Xu Jin's disloyalty and refusal to take the exam, plus Fei Hong's identity was there, and he accused the protégé of behaving in front of the teacher, and Shi Xuan was also at a loss in etiquette, so he was questioned speechless.

Seeing this, Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly rescued the scene and said: "Fei Ge Lao is a little restless, Xu Ziqian is indeed not disloyal, unfilial, unkind, unjust, rude and unbelieving, Shi Shilang just thinks that Xu Ziqian is too tactful and flattering, and it is difficult to take on the responsibility of assisting and persuading the king." ”

Fei Hong said in a deep voice: "Then the old man wants to ask Mao Shangshu, Ziqian has ever flattered the Son of Heaven and induced the Son of Heaven to do things that are harmful to the Ming Dynasty and the society?" ”

Mao Cheng was also speechless for a moment, saying that Xu Jin had indeed not deceived the Son of Heaven to do anything harmful to the society of the country, not even anything out of line. In fact, the main reason why the Yang Party suppressed Xu Jin was that Xu Jin stood on the side of the little emperor Zhu Houxi in the matter of "discussion ceremony".

The matter of "discussing gifts" is originally a matter of the benevolent and the wise, and it doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong. Emperor Jiajing is unwilling to enter the line of filial piety, and refuses to sever the relationship with his biological parents, which is a manifestation of filial piety, you can accuse him of ignorance of the general situation, but you can't completely say that he is wrong, since Emperor Jiajing is right, then Xu Jin as a courtier to support the emperor is naturally not wrong, but it is a manifestation of loyalty.

Of course, it is estimated that even Yang Tinghe himself refuses to admit that this is a struggle for the power of the monarch, he will only feel that he is insisting on the truth, and all the Yang parties feel that they are insisting on the truth.

Fei Hong asked Mao Cheng and continued to say eloquently: "When Ziqian was studying at Shangrao Xinjiang Academy, he was still a poor scholar, and he did not flinch in the face of King Ning, who covered the sky with one hand in Jiangxi. He assisted Governor Sun to exterminate the lead mountain bandits, when King Ning rebelled, Ziqian led the army to fight hard, and personally braved the arrows and stones at the head of the lead mountain city, and fought with the thieves for seven days and seven nights, and finally won the battle. He is mighty and unyielding, and would rather bend than bend!

Now Ziqian is in Shandong for disaster relief and rescue, saving the people of Li from dire straits; investigate and punish corruption, and bring corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Shandong Province to justice; suppressed the anti-thieves, recovered the lost land in several counties, eliminated tens of thousands of anti-thieves, and saved the community from danger. He is honest and honest, resolute and courageous, and his wisdom and strategy are remarkable!

If this is Mao Shangshu's so-called "sleek and flattering" generation, then the old man hopes that there will be more such talents in this dynasty, and it will only be my blessing. ”

Speaking this as Fei Hong undoubtedly had the suspicion of boasting to his protégé, but what he said was the truth, so it was loud and clear, and the entire cabinet was silent.

At this moment, a group of officialdom bigwigs suddenly realized that although Xu Jin was not yet a weak crown, he had already done so many big things, which made many people present ashamed. Therefore, Xu Jin not only did not do anything to endanger the Ming Dynasty, but also did several things to save the Ming Dynasty, such as participating in the fight against King Ning and suppressing the anti-thieves in Shandong.

At this time, Mao Cheng and Shi Xuan were already a little pale, and they only heard Fei Hong continue: "If Shi Shilang points out Ziqian's lack of knowledge, it's fine, but slandering and degrading his character, the old man will definitely not agree!" ”

If Xu Jin was present at this time and heard it, it is estimated that he would be moved, and having a teacher who protects the calf is happiness!

Shi Xuan's face turned red and white, and he arched his hand and retreated back to his seat. Yang Tinghe frowned and said, "Brother Zichong, please sit down, Shi Shilang is just a momentary gaffe." ”

Fei Hong had a good relationship with Yang Tinghe, but since the last time the court recommended the Qin candidates, there has been a crack, and now it is estimated that the crack is even bigger, but it has not yet reached the point of tearing his face and doing it, so he did not continue to press step by step, and returned to his seat and sat down.

"Weizhi, Jingzhi, what do you two suggest?" Yang Tinghe asked in harmony.

Wei Zhi is Mao Ji, Jing Zhi is Jiang Mian, and Yang Tinghe is soliciting the opinions of the remaining two pavilion elders.

Mao Ji is also nearly sixty years old, and he has cooperated with Yang Tinghe for many years, so he naturally will not work against Yang Tinghe, but Fei Hong's face cannot be ignored, not to mention that Xu Jin is indeed a talent, it is a pity to be delegated to the local Ren Zhizhou, and coughed lightly: "Xu Jin does lack some experience and experience, and it is not suitable to serve as a bachelor, so it is better to be promoted to a Hanlin waiter for the time being, and after a few years of experience in office, I will consider the position of a bachelor." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the officials present showed a meaningful look, Mao Ge Lao was in the rhythm of the mud, but with the friendship between Mao Ge Lao and Yang Ge Lao for many years, he was already quite good with the mud, which shows that he also admires Xu Jin.

The names of "Hanlin Attendant" and "Hanlin Attendant" look very similar, but without the word "Bachelor", the status immediately differs a lot. For example, if someone adds the word "teacher" to the end of their surname, they will naturally appear more respected.

"Hanlin Attendant" is a sixth-grade official, and "Hanlin Attendant Bachelor" is a fifth-grade official, although the official rank is only one grade, but the Hanlin Attendant Bachelor can give lectures to the emperor, and the Hanlin Attendant can only accompany the emperor to class (equivalent to a scholar), however, if the emperor has a son, the Hanlin Attendant is qualified to give lectures to the prince.

Of course, whether it is a Hanlin attendant or a bachelor in Hanlin, they are all close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and there are many opportunities to contact the emperor, so Mao Ji's proposal is to talk to the mud.

Yang Tinghe frowned imperceptibly and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Jiang Mian smiled and said: "The old man seconded the proposal to defend it, but the Hanlin attendant is the sixth grade, compared to the Hanlin revision from the sixth grade, it is only one grade, I am afraid it is not in line with the emperor's wishes, it is better to let Xu Ziqian concurrently serve as a member of the military department, and the main arsenal of the Qing Officials." ”

Wai Lang, a member of the military department, is from the five-rank official position, without a fixed number, and the main arsenal clearance department is in charge of miscellaneous matters in the country's ordnance.

Yang Tinghe was silent for a moment, and finally nodded in approval. Although Yang Tinghe didn't like Xu Jin, Xu Jin's performance in Shandong this time made him realize that this son was indeed a rare talent, and Xu Jin dared to risk the world's disapproval and put forward the initiative of "Qingtianzhuang" to make the public angry, which shows that he is indeed "fiercely loyal" to the imperial court, so Yang Tinghe does not want to suppress Xu Jin excessively.

As it was, Xu Jin added an official to Hanlin and served as a part-time soldier in the military department. Although Wailang, a member of the military department, is from the fifth grade, he is just an idle official who does not have much power, and the gold content is not as high as that of the sixth-grade Hanlin attendant, so everyone has no opinion on Xu Jin's part-time military department member Wailang.

Now that Xu Jin's official position has been decided, the next step is to discuss the title. According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, non-military merits can not be knighted, Xu Jin exterminated tens of thousands of thieves in Shandong, recovered several counties, and it is naturally no problem to be knighted, Wang Shouren, who pacified the rebellion of King Ning, was crowned as a new uncle not long ago.

It is said that the titles of the Ming Dynasty were only earl, marquis, duke, and king, and the earl was the lowest level of title.

A group of officials discussed the two teas and came to the result, Jin named Xu Jin as Jing Anbo, 800 stones, and gave the edict, but only allowed hereditary generation.

At this point, the matter of Xu Jin's reward was decided, and Yang Tinghe, the first assistant, would write the results into a transcript and present it to the emperor for review, and the emperor would officially draft the decree and promulgate it after the emperor agreed.

The next thing to discuss is the main thing, that is, to discuss the feasibility of "Qingtianzhuang", however, this kind of policy related to the national economy and people's livelihood is naturally not something that can be discussed overnight, so a group of officialdom bigwigs quarreled with each other for a morning, and continued to quarrel in the afternoon, until it was dark, and finally they went home from work, and then continued to spray each other tomorrow!
