Xu Jin was still asleep there after drinking a cup of strong tea, so he simply continued to deal with official business for a while, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he left for the Wenhua Hall to participate in the afternoon dynasty. The Wu Dynasty is much simpler than the Early Dynasty, there is not so much red tape, and there is no need to wait in line or anything, the palace guards will be released directly after checking their identities, and the officials will go to the Wenhua Hall according to the prescribed route.

Originally, there were not many Beijing officials who were qualified to participate in the Chang Dynasty, and even fewer were qualified to participate in the court meeting, at least at least the level of the third-in-command of the ministry and the court, and there were also some officials with special functions, in short, there were only a few dozen people in total.

"Ziqian!"

As soon as Xu Jin came to the Wenhua Palace, he met two personable young officials, who were Fei Maozhong and Xu Jie, and it was naturally Fei Maozhong who shouted Xu Jin.

Although Xu Jie is short in stature, he has fair skin and good appearance and temperament, he is the kind of person who makes people feel close at first sight, in other words, he is very affinity, he took two steps forward, and respectfully saluted: "Xiaguan has seen Lord Xu." ”

"The people suffer!" Xu Jin greeted Fei Maozhong, and smiled at Xu Jie: "Zisheng doesn't need to be polite. ”

It is said that Fei Maozhong and Xu Jinnai are on the same list, and he is still the leader, but he has been in the position of Hanlin editor for three years, and it was not until this year's official assessment that he was transferred to the Like Capital.

Originally, Fei Maozhong was not bad in appearance, character and ability, and his slow promotion was entirely due to the fact that he had a cabinet minister's father. Fei Hong, as the first assistant of the cabinet, if his son is promoted too quickly, it will inevitably attract tongues, so although Fei Maozhong's performance is excellent, the officials have also wanted to promote him twice, but they were all suppressed by Fei Ge.

And Xu Jie, who was late Xu Jin and Fei Maozhong, was a Tanhualang, but unfortunately he just visited the flower and soon after, his father died, so he resigned and went home to keep filial piety for three years, and the second half of last year The filial piety period expired, and the official was reinstated for Hanlin to edit, and at the beginning of this year, Xu Jin recommended him to serve as the household department.

This Xu Jie is the first assistant of the cabinet in the future, and his ability is self-evident, so Xu Jin is naturally willing to give it a boost.

"Lord Xu!"

Xu Jinzheng, Fei Maozhong and Xu Jie were chatting outside the Wenhua Hall for a few words, and then they heard someone calling him behind him, and when they looked back, it turned out to be Xia Yan. It is said that Xia Yan is now a bachelor of Hanlin Attendant, and his position is equivalent to Zhang Xuan, so he is qualified to participate in the court meeting.

At this time, there were already many people standing in the Wenhua Palace, both Wenchen and military generals, the Governor of the Five Armies Governor's Mansion Zuo Du, and Wuding Marquis Guo Xun was also impressively listed, and at this moment he was talking in a low voice with a Wenchen state, it was Wang Qiong, the former official of the Ministry of Shangshu who had recently returned to Beijing. Today is the first time that Wang Qiong has participated in the court meeting since returning to Beijing.

Xu Jin is currently a popular figure in the court, and today's court push, his opinion will be very important, so as soon as he walked into the Wenhua Palace, he immediately became the focus of attention of the ministers of civil and military affairs.

Zhang Xuan nodded to Xu Jinwei as a greeting, and then closed his eyes and closed his eyes to recuperate, looking light.

Guo Xun, Marquis of Wuding, glanced at Xu Jin, and then stopped communicating with Wang Qiong, but the latter came forward with a smile and bowed: "Good afternoon, Lord Xu!" ”

The surrounding officials of the Protector faction all cast disdainful glances, obviously extremely disdainful of Wang Qiong's flattery and flattery to Xu Jin as a senior, of course, Wang Qiong had a bad reputation and was already despised and used to being despised.

Xu Jin politely bowed his hand and saluted back: "Good afternoon, Lord Wang!" ”

Wang Qiong ignored the contemptuous gazes around her, calmly exchanged a few polite words with Xu Jin, and then returned to her position and stood up, and after a while, Fei Hong, the first assistant of the cabinet, arrived, and the ministers in the palace hurriedly stood up and stopped whispering, because according to the rules, after the cabinet ministers entered the palace, the emperor was about to arrive.

Sure enough, after a while, Emperor Jiajing entered the palace and ascended to the throne, and the noon dynasty officially began, and a group of civil and military ministers in the palace knelt down in front of the throne and shouted three long live.

"You guys are flat, do you have a book?" Zhu Houxi yawned, this kid probably didn't have a lunch break.

Just when everyone thought that there would be no one to do it, Zhang Xuan, a bachelor in Hanlin, stood up and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the minister has a book." ”

Qin Jin and other officials of the Protector Sect immediately became vigilant, originally the theme of this Wu Dynasty was the selection of the court to push the cabinet ministers, if there was something, everyone played in the early dynasty, what kind of moth did Zhang Xuan do at this time?

Zhu Houxi was obviously a little surprised, and nodded: "Let's play." ”

Zhang Xuan said loudly: "A few days ago, Turbo Mansuer led his troops to invade the two states of Gansu, the situation is urgent, and there is no room for delay. ”

Zhu Houxi glanced at the ministers in the palace and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Let Wang Qiong replace Chen Jiuchou to patrol Gansu was discussed by the court before, and Wang Qiong was the secretary of the ministry before he was cut down, and now he is back in Beijing to serve as the secretary of the military department, so the ministers in the palace, including the ministers of the Protector faction, have nothing to say.

Zhu Houxi saw that everyone had no opinions, so he nodded and said, "Then let Zhang Qing play!" ”

However, as soon as Zhu Houxi's voice ended, Wang Qiong knelt down in front of the imperial case and said loudly: "Thanks to the emperor's love and Lord Zhang's recommendation, the minister thinks that Lord Xu, Marquis of Jinghai, is more suitable for patrolling Gansu than the minister. Lord Xu wiped out the plague that had harmed my Ming coastal area for hundreds of years with a snap of his fingers, and also opened up territory for my Ming Dynasty. With the ability of Jinghai Hou, the pacification of Tulubo is just around the corner. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the hall had different expressions, and even Guo Xun was stunned, Wang Qiong, the old horseman, was still calling Lao Tzu a brother and brother just now, how could he give up the opportunity to make meritorious service to Xu Jin in a blink of an eye, which end of the hell is this old bastard standing on?

Zhu Houxi obviously didn't expect Wang Qiong to recommend Xu Jin and give up such a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions to others, but Wang Qiong's words still made him a little moved, so he looked at Xu Jin and asked, "What does Xu Qing think?" ”

Zhu Houxi, this kid, is now full of confidence in Xu Jin, if Xu Jin patrols Gansu and grabs all the turf of Turbo, wahaha, then he will make a lot of money, and he will be enough to surpass Taizong and Taizu in martial arts.

Xu Jinna doesn't know Zhu Houxi yet, to put it vulgarly, as long as this kid's tail is cocked, he can guess whether he is pooping or peeing, but now Ruyi and Jixiang have just been pregnant for a few months, and it is estimated that they will give birth around the end of the year, at this time, he really doesn't want to go to such a far place as Jiayuguan in Gansu, after all, he has to go back and forth for several months just to travel, and if he fights with Turbo again, it will take a year or two to say the least.

In addition, Xu Jin felt that it was a bit abnormal for Wang Qiong to suddenly recommend him, although his contact with Wang Qiong was almost zero, but he also had a general understanding of his personality, how could an old official like Wang Qiong, who was keen on fame and fortune, give up the opportunity to make meritorious service to others? Moreover, Wang Qiong has just recovered, and it is when he urgently needs credit to prove himself, and at this time, he should not give up the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to others.

As the saying goes, there must be a demon when something goes wrong, so Xu Jin didn't plan to take over this task, but just as Xu Jin was about to refuse, Xia Yan took the lead in jumping out and said loudly: "The minister is opposed, Lord Xu's ability is obvious to all, but I am a Ming talent, if I let Lord Xu go out of everything, wouldn't it make the world think that I am a Ming person?" What's more, Lord Xu has been busy with the silver number recently, which is the top priority related to my Ming people's livelihood and economy, how can I say that I will let it go. ”

At this time, Yang Dan, the secretary of the ministry, also came out and objected loudly: "The minister seconded the proposal, what Lord Xia Yan said is extremely true, the so-called killing chickens with a knife, Tulu Bo is just a disease of mustard ringworm, why use Xu Ziqian to go out, Wang Qiong is enough to calm it." ”

Wang Qiong couldn't help but stiffen, secretly angry in her heart, angry with the old man, Yang Dan's old puppet praised Xu Jin even if he didn't forget it, why did he secretly step on the old man, he Xu Jin went out of the horse to kill chickens with a knife, so what is the old man? Chickens kill chickens with bird knives?

Xia Yan and Yang Dan spoke out against each other one after another, and the officials of the Protector Sect reacted that it was bad intentions for Wang Qiong to recommend Xu Jin to patrol Gansu, and nine times out of ten they discussed with Zhang Xuan and Wang Qiong to sing a double reed, trying to send Xu Jin far away from Beijing. You must know that only Xu Jin can balance Zhang Xuan in the DPRK now, once Xu Jin leaves Beijing for a year or two, won't Zhang Chan be able to do whatever he wants in the DPRK?

How can this be reasonable, it is too insidious, fortunately, Xia Yan and Yang Dan have the wisdom to see through it, otherwise they would have succeeded by Zhang Xuan and Wang Qiong!

As a result, the officials of the Protector faction who understood the mystery stood up to oppose it, and the upstart faction such as the Marquis of Wuding in turn strongly supported the dispatch of Xu Jin to patrol Gansu, praising Xu Jin to the sky, as if as long as Xu Jin did not take the horse, Turpan would not be pacified.

Xu Jin couldn't help but be speechless, the upstart faction tried to kick him far away, and the Protector faction desperately wanted to keep himself in the court, but he didn't expect that this court push had not yet started, and his own stay became the focus of controversy.
