The Wu Dynasty was held in the Wenhua Palace, which was much more casual than the early Dynasty, there were no cumbersome ceremonies, and there were many fewer people, because the Beijing officials who were qualified to participate in the Wu Dynasty were only a few after all, either the backbone of various ministries and institutes, or the officials of special departments, such as the Six Departments to the Affairs, the Thirteen Imperial History, etc.

Small system is a major feature of the Ming Dynasty's official system, although there are only seven grades of officials, but they have a "troll license", can impeach hundreds of officials, and even directly spray the emperor, and will not be convicted of this (the rules are so), the six departments are even more awesome in the matter, but the power of the officials is not small, even if it is an official document issued by the cabinet, if they think it is wrong, they also have the right to refute it.

At this time, in the Wenhua Palace, the backbone of the various ministries, the six departments, the thirteen imperial histories, and the ministers of the martial arts class were all there.

Jin Xianmin, the first assistant of the cabinet, stood at the head of the minister of Wenban with a jade wat in his hand, with a serious expression and did not squint, followed by the second assistant Jia Yong, the third assistant Luo Qinchen, and the fourth assistant Liao Ji, while Xu Jin stood behind Liao Ji.

The head of the ministers of Wuban is Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo, followed by Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei, and then Mu Shaoxun, the Duke of Qianguo, as for Zhu Lin, the Duke of Chengguo, is a short-lived ghost, and he only inherited the title last year, but he became ill in May this year, and his son Zhu Feng can inherit the title only after the filial piety period, but not the Duke of Guo, but the marquis, because according to the title downgrading inheritance system proposed by Xu Jin, the title has to be downgraded by one level for each hereditary generation.

From the prince of the country to the lord of the Hou, his status and treatment have dropped a big notch, and it is no wonder that the Xungui Group hates Xu Jin so much. For example, Zhu Feng, who was guarding filial piety, often gritted his teeth and greeted Xu Jin's ancestors for the eighteenth generation, but he only dared to live his mouth behind his back, and he didn't dare to stand up and confront Xu Jin when he was given ten dares. Because the nobles who dared to touch Xu Xuxing's tiger beard were all wiped out, and the distant ones were Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, and Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, who were the two brothers of the country, and the close ones were Zhang Lun, the Marquis of Wuding, Guo Xun, and Tang Shaozong, the Empress of Lingbi.

Of course, although the Xungui Group is afraid of Xu Jin, it does not mean that they will swallow their anger, as long as they seize the opportunity, they will still kick Xu Jin from behind.

For example, today, the Xungui Group felt that it was a good opportunity, so it had already discussed Xu Jin and waited for the arrival of the emperor.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the Wenhua Hall at this time was very subtle, so quiet that it could be heard, but everyone's eyes invariably drifted to one person, that's right, it was Yasukuni Gong Xu Jin!

This is the so-called popular right and wrong, in other words, the elegant way of saying is that the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will blow!

In view of the fact that Xu has been in the limelight too much recently, and he has taken advantage of it, the red-eyed officials want to see him unlucky. For example, those officials are gearing up, ready to let Xu Jin spit out all the food they eat, the nickname of "Wencheng Wuyi" is definitely withdrawn, and the Guogong and Taibao must also take it back, and the stinky boy who is only twenty-five years old, no matter how great the credit is, does not deserve this honor.

Human nature is like this, seeing that people younger than themselves mix better than themselves, they will be psychologically unbalanced, all kinds of acid, all kinds of cynicism, if there is a chance to fall into the well, they will not hesitate to contribute their own strength, and finally proudly pointed to the mouth of the well and shouted: "Look, you deserve it, this is the end of the young man's ambition!" ”

In addition, if the first assistant Jin Xianmin wants to establish his authority, he must also suppress Xu Jin, and whether he can retract Xu Jin's title and Taibao official title will directly affect his prestige as the head of the hundred officials.

If you count the forces that secretly dug a pit for Xu Jin, there are enough four forces ready to engage Xu Jin, and this is the result of cooking oil with fire. There is a famous saying in the stock market: as long as you stand on the tuyere, even a pig can fly.

However, there is also a saying that the higher you fly, the worse you fall, and once the wind stops, the pig that flies to a high place will end up miserable. At this time, Xu Jin was the pig that flew to the tuyere, of course, Xu Jin was not a pig, he had already found a way to make a soft landing.

"The emperor has arrived!" With a shout, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi turned out of the passage on the side of the hall like a moon of stars, and came to the throne and sat down.

"Long live my emperor, long live long live, long live, long live!" The two classes of ministers knelt down and saluted in unison.

"Everyone's family is flat!" Jiajing raised his hand slightly, looking even more tired than in the early court, and kept yawning.

Bi Chun glanced meaningfully at Xu Jin in the crowd, and sang loudly: "There is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat." ”

As soon as these words came out, the imperial history named Cai Peng rushed out, for fear that someone would rob him, and said loudly: "The minister has this music!" ”

Jiajing's heart was inexplicably a little nervous, and he said in a deep voice: "Play it!" ”

Cai Peng immediately played proudly: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, it was rumored that the Duke of Yasukuni fell into the sea, and the emperor was sad and posthumously named him the Duke of Yasukuni, and gave him the Taibao, nicknamed Wencheng Wuyi, however, now that Lord Xu is unscathed and returned safely, the minister thinks that he should withdraw all the posthumous seals on him. ”

Jiajing's face sank, and he said angrily: "Xu Qing sent troops to quell the rebellion of Wang Zhi's father and son this time, not only raising my name and national prestige, but also making the Japanese state bow down to the courtiers. What's more, you have no jokes, how can the reward you make be withdrawn at will, and quickly retreat! ”

Cai Yushi just wanted to make some achievements, and he didn't plan to die, and when he saw that the emperor seemed to be angry, he immediately slipped back very obediently, so as not to steal chickens and rice.

However, many of the officials present were old foxes, but they heard the clues, the emperor's last sentence is the point, the so-called Jun Wu joke means that the reason why the emperor does not agree to withdraw Xu Jin's title is that he does not want to lose his trust, not because of how much credit Xu Jin has.

In other words, the emperor's mind is actually not so resolute!

comprehended Zhenji's words, and immediately several people stood up and asked to withdraw the posthumous seal of Xu Jin, and also spoke a lot of truths.

Although Xu Jin is very calm on the surface, he faintly feels that something is wrong in his heart, because with Jiajing's previous temperament, he will definitely deny Cai Peng, instead of being so ambiguous as he is now.

Moreover, Xu Jin felt that Jiajing was a little wrong when he was in the early dynasty, and at this time, Jiajing's gaze seemed to avoid him intentionally or unintentionally, and his intuition told him that there was a situation!

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Xu Jin's mind, and he suddenly became vigilant.

At this time, I saw Wu Wen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, come out and play: "The minister also thinks that he should withdraw the posthumous seal of Lord Xu. As for the reward for Lord Xu, it can be discussed separately. ”

"What Lord Wu said is extremely true, and the minister seconded it!" Luo Qinshun, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Dongkaku University, echoed the Dao.

Wu Wending and Luo Qinshun expressed their stance on the characters, and instantly more people stood up and seconded the proposal.

Jiajing frowned, quickly glanced at the indifferent Xu Jin, and finally his eyes fell on Jin Xianmin, the first assistant of the cabinet, and asked, "What does the Jin Qing family think?" ”

Jin Xianmin was also extremely puzzled, at this time, even if Xu Jin was thick-skinned, he should have stood up and taken the initiative to resign, but this person was like a settled person, it was really incomprehensible, did he have to wait for the emperor to announce the withdrawal of the posthumous seal?

Jin Xianmin had released rumors before that he wanted to withdraw the posthumous seal of Xu Jin, so whether he could take back Xu Jin's title of Duke of China and the title of Taibao today was related to his authority as the first assistant, so he could only say his head and say: "The minister thinks that what Lord Wu said is extremely true, those who are crowned the dukes of the country with their civilian background, and I have never done it in the court, so we should withdraw all the posthumous titles of Lord Xu, and then reward them separately to show their merits." ”

"The minister is against!" As soon as Shoufu Jin Xianmin's voice fell, Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo, who was at the head of the martial arts class, actually stood up and said loudly.

For a while, the civil officials in the palace were dumbfounded, what was going on? Is the sun coming out of the west?

You must know that Dingguo Gong Xu Guangzuo is from the old Wuxun Group, and Xu Jin is a thorn in the side of the old Wuxun Group, a thorn in the flesh, why did he stand up against it? To withdraw the posthumous seal of Xu Jin, shouldn't the old Wuxun Group raise their hands and feet in favor?

Jiajing was obviously a little stunned, but he remained silent on the surface, just looked at Xu Guangzuo calmly to see what he said next.

Xu Jin's sword eyebrows were raised, at this time he had already realized that there was more than one force to engage in his own today, and once he made a mistake, he was afraid that he would capsize in the gutter, but what made him feel most uneasy was the abnormality shown by Jiajing.

Conspiracy, Xu Jin smelled a smell of conspiracy, and he felt like he was in the wilderness, being targeted by a wolf hiding in the shadows, like a thorn in his back, very uncomfortable!
