Zhu Houxi was stunned for a moment, and said with an unnatural expression: "Why did Xu Qing resign from the post of governor of Zhejiang?" Now although my Daming Haijiang has been decided, Xu Qing is still needed to sit in charge to deter the younger generation. ”

Xu Jin said earnestly: "Your Majesty, now that the coastal thieves of my Ming Dynasty have been basically wiped out, there are only three or five small thieves who are not in the climate, and besides, after this battle of peace, the combat power and courage of the local guard army are not what they used to be, and they are enough to deal with everything." The governor of Zhejiang, the minister, is already dispensable, so it is better to retire and return to the local government, so as not to waste money and food. ”

Xu Jin paused, and continued: "In addition, the minister has the courage to speak out, the reason why the minister resigned from the post of governor of Zhizhejiang is also partly out of selfishness. It has been a year and a half since the minister left Beijing in February last year, and he is very worried about his wife and children in Beijing. As the saying goes, the son does not teach, but the father and the son do; If the teaching is not strict, the teacher is lazy. Every time he thought about not being able to fulfill his responsibilities as a father, he felt very uneasy. Therefore, I implore the emperor to allow the minister to resign from the post of governor of Zhejiang. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and a pedantic old Hanlin even scolded angrily: "How can this be reasonable, it's just nonsense." is the so-called heaven and earth monarch teacher, what is more important than worrying about the king, Xu Ziqian only cares about the small family, does not read the loyalty to the country, simply read the sage book in vain, and is ashamed of the emperor's favor. The old man is ashamed to be with him! ”

Yang Ting and the officials of the first party changed their faces slightly, and last night they also discussed using "supporting the army and respecting themselves" to impeach and attack Xu Jin, but Xu Jin automatically resigned from the governor of Zhizhejiang at this time and put down the military power in his hands, so the reason for them to try to impeach Xu Jin for "supporting the army and respecting himself" was no longer valid. Let's ask if people even took the initiative to hand over military power, how can they support the army and respect themselves?

Yang Tinghe's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Fei Hong next to him, but the latter had a calm face.

"Xu Qing......!" Zhu Houxi's kid was so moved that his eyes were slightly red at this time, and he choked up and couldn't go on after calling Xu Qing.

The reason why Zhu Houxi lavishly rewarded the generals under Xu Jin's command was not because he doubted Xu Jin's loyalty, but he was somewhat affected by Lu Bing's words. Therefore, Xu Jin now took the initiative to resign from the post of governor of Zhizhejiang and put down his military power without hesitation, which immediately made the mustard in Zhu Houxi's heart disappear, and it also made him feel a strong sense of guilt, and he felt extremely ashamed of his lack of open-mindedness.

Zhu Houxi recalled that in the three years since he ascended the throne, Xu Jin was ordered to go to Beijing on business trips one after another, first to Shandong for disaster relief, and then to Qingzhang land in the south of the Yangtze River. For the sake of his own country, Xu Jin braved arrows and stones on the front line, fought bloodily, and made many meritorious contributions! And what about yourself? I was unhappy because of a word from the person below, and I really shouldn't have it.

Xu Jin saw Zhu Houxi's red eyes, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, after all, this kid hadn't transformed into that kind of ruthless king, and the little depression in his heart was gone.

Because the distance was a bit far, and Zhu Houxi was wearing a curtain crown, none of the civil and military officials in front of His Majesty Dan saw Jiajing's strange expression at the moment, but the generals behind Xu Jin, as well as the eunuchs and guards next to the throne, could see it clearly.

The master of ceremonies, Father-in-law Bi, couldn't help but secretly speak, but Lu Bing's goods were resentful and depressed, and he finally found an opportunity to instigate it, but it was easily resolved by Xu Jin, after this incident, the emperor is afraid that he is more favored by Xu Jin, hate!

Zhu Houyi blinked, his expression gradually returned to normal, and he said in a low voice: "If Xu Qing is worried about his wife and children at home, I can send someone to bring Sister Xiaowan and them, but I will not allow you to resign from the post of governor of Zhizhejiang." ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Majesty, the child is still young, how can he withstand the hardships of the journey, not to mention this, how can he be at peace with his heart." ”

Zhu Houxi's heart was full of guilt at the moment, where was he willing to let Xu Jin resign, and said with a shy face: "That...... I will give you three months of family leave, so it is decided, anyway, you should not be the governor of Zhejiang, and now I have to rely on Xu Qing to control it, and I don't feel at ease if I hand it over to others. ”

Zhu Houxi, this kid, actually played a scoundrel, Xu Jin couldn't help crying and laughing, but his determination to resign as the governor of Zhizhejiang had been decided, so as not to be used by someone with a heart to make a fuss, so he knelt on the ground and insisted: "Please allow the emperor!" ”

Speaking of this, Xu Jin Nairan insisted on resigning, Zhu Houxi couldn't hold his face a little, and said with a straight face: "Xu Qing has to say more, quickly calm down, otherwise it will be a disobedience to the order, and I will cure you for the crime of bullying the king!" ”

Xu Jin said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the minister just resigned as the governor of Zhejiang, and he didn't beg the bones to return to his hometown. ”

Zhu Houxi suddenly felt enlightened, yes, this governor of Zhejiang, Xu Jin, resigned, when I want to use it, when can't I use it, and make such a competitive? Just enough to block the mouths of those officials, lest those guys always look for trouble and impeach Xu Jin for supporting the army and respecting himself.

Thinking of this, Zhu Houxi said happily: "Xu Qing's words are not unreasonable, so I will allow you to resign as the governor of Zhizhejiang, but you still have to lead the five hundred battalions for me." ”

Xu Jin was afraid that Zhu Houxi's kid would be stubborn, so he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said loudly: "Thank you for your kindness." ”

Zhu Houxi was in a happy mood, laughed, and waved his hand: "Xu Qing stays, and the rest of the people will be listed." ”

So, Wang Lin'er, Qi Jingtong and other generals saluted and retreated, leaving only Xu Jin alone in front of the throne.

Xu Jin was pondering what Zhu Houxi wanted to do, so he listened to this kid say in a deep voice: "A few days ago, Sun Jiao of Hushangshu suddenly became seriously ill, and he has been bedridden and unable to speak, and I am very sad, but Hubu Shangshu is an important member of the imperial court and cannot be absent for a long time, so I want to appoint Xu Jin as the temporary representative of Hubu Shangshu, what do you think Aiqing?" ”

As soon as Zhu Houxi's words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and even Xu Jin himself was stunned, although he had made a lot of contributions, but at the age of his early twenties, he was the head of the household department, which was really too shocking, and Zhu Houxi, this kid, was whimsical.

When Emperor Jiajing saw Xu Jin's shocked expression, a touch of pride flashed in his eyes, as if to say, didn't you resign as the governor of Zhizhejiang, then I will give you a household secretary, this time I didn't think of an excuse to miss my wife and children in Beijing!

Xu Jin couldn't help crying and laughing, although he understood that Emperor Jiajing meant to make up for himself, but this was clearly roasting himself on the fire!

Sure enough, as soon as Emperor Jiajing's words ended, Shi Xuan, a hot-tempered Hanlin scholar, was the first to jump out and said loudly: "The minister is opposed, Xu Jin is young, how can He De be qualified to be the head of the household." ”

Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, followed closely and said loudly with righteous words: "The ministers are also opposed, although Xu Jin has great achievements, but the important position of the center is not the same as child's play, Xu Jin is young, and his qualifications and experience are not enough to be qualified for the head of the household."

"The minister also opposes ......"

"The minister also opposes ......"

There are constantly officials jumping out to express their opposition, and His Majesty Dan is kneeling full of ministers, both Yang Tinghe and the upstart faction, which shows that age is indeed Xu Jin's hard wound. Not to mention ancient officialdom, even in modern times, if a national cadre is too young, it will arouse the suspicion of the people, and he will soon be picked up by netizens.
