What are the benefits of being an emperor? The answer is power. The emperor's power is supreme. An angry man is just a splash of blood for five steps, while an angry emperor is a million corpses. What power is this?

The emperor ordered everyone in the world to refuse to obey. He said that there would be women, and there would be more than three thousand beauties in the harem; he said that there would be houses, and majestic palaces rose from the ground; he said that there would be city walls, and a Great Wall would wind thousands of miles away. Just imagine, what pleasure is this?

If power is a qualifier, then the supreme power is the king of the qualifier. It is fascinating, crazy, and dislikes the relatives. It is difficult to let go after tasting it.

Looking at all dynasties, are there fewer scenes of slaughtering each other in order to fight for the throne? Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin killed his eldest brother Li Jiancheng and his younger brother Li Yuanji in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, forcing his father Li Yuan to abdicate and eventually became emperor; in order to stabilize his throne, Wu Zetian killed his son; Zhu Di killed his nephew Zhu Yunwen for the throne...

The supreme power is destined to be exclusive and must not be shared. For the emperor, power is his life. Losing power means losing life. Therefore, what the emperor cares most about is his own power. Whoever dares to reach out and dies, or even kills the nine clans.

Why do you say that the master is so powerful that he will not end up being good? Just imagine, even the credit can threaten the emperor's power. If the emperor doesn't deal with it, who will you deal with it?

It is true that Jiajing trusts Xu Jin very much, but it is hard to say when it comes to power. No matter which dynasty or which emperor, as long as the emperor's brain circuit is normal, he will be afraid of ministers taking over power and autocracy, and Jiajing is no exception.

In other words, the emperor can give you an official position and give you corresponding power, but you cannot think about it, and you cannot reach out to take it yourself. If you take it, you have a different intention. If you have a different intention, you are unfaithful. If you are unfaithful, you are indiscretionary. If you are indiscretionary, you should die!

It is obvious that the private discussions of those little eunuchs were heard by Jiajing in an "inadvertent" manner, which is actually equivalent to digging a pit for Xu Jin, an extremely sinister pit!

The reason why Xu Jin was granted the title of Duke was because he was "dead". Now he is "dead". According to common sense, even if no one raises objections, Xu Jin himself resigns as he pleases.

In this way, Xu Jin was in trouble. Once Jiajing, who had been given a "vaccine", heard that Xu Jin took the initiative to resign from the Duke of the State, he would definitely think that he was greedy for power, so he didn't even want the Duke of the State.

Although Jiajing might not be so good at that time, he would definitely not trust Xu Jin as unconditionally as before afterwards. Once the trust between the monarch and his ministers is lost, the gap will become bigger and bigger. If Xu Jin loses his holy family, his doomsday will not be far away.

So this pit is really not ordinary insidious, nor is it something that ordinary people can think of. The other party is undoubtedly a master at politics.

However, as the saying goes, the trees are in the forest, the wind will destroy them; the piles are on the shore, and the waves will hit them. Now Xu Jin is too popular in the court and has taken advantage of them. Naturally, the people who want to mess with him will not be in a few, and it is normal for open and hidden arrows to attack. For example, the noble group hates Xu Jin to the core, because whether it is the land clear or the relegation system, the most serious damage is the interests of the noble group. Cutting off people and money is like killing parents. Who do you hate?

On August 27, the fifth year of Jiajing, the gates of the capital were opened and they were finally allowed to enter and exit freely. Because everyone was arrested, all the members of the Maitreya Cult hidden in the capital were caught in one go. In addition, a large number of officials involved in the case were also arrested, such as seven or eight officials who arranged for Li Dayi to be admitted to the Imperial College, all of whom were involved in Yan Song and his son, including Zhao Wenhua, the head of the Ministry of Justice who wrote a letter to impeach Fei Hong, and Hu Zongxian, a student of the Imperial College.

By the way, Hu Zongxian was also a powerful figure in history. Although this person relied on Yan Song and his son, the Japanese disasters along the coast of the Ming Dynasty were basically wiped out under his leadership. Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou both served under his command. But now, Hu Zongxian is nothing. Xu Jin, a time traveler, changed history, and the Japanese disasters were completely pacified two years ago.

Back to the point, early in the morning of August 27, Xu Jin arrived in front of the Meridian Gate in a carriage and prepared to attend the morning court at Fengtian Gate.

"Have you met the Duke!"

"Good morning, Mr. Xu!"

"Grandpa, I am safe!"

"Dude..."

At this time, a large number of officials gathered in front of the Meridian Gate. When they saw Xu Jin, they surrounded him and greeted him. Whether it was because of sincerity or falsehood, Xu Jin was so popular that it was almost beneficial or harmless to set him up.

Of course, some of the self-righteous officials not only did not come forward to see the salute, but also deliberately flashed to the side and watched coldly, but were afraid that others would not see their noble character, so they deliberately put on a stern face and made an extremely contemptuous expression.

While dealing with the officials who were greeted with endless salutes, Xu Jin walked forward. At this time, an official suddenly blocked his way and pointed at the officials surrounded by Xu Jin and shouted loudly: "A group of flatterers have read the books of sages in vain. I am ashamed to be with you."

This man's voice was loud, and Xu Jin was startled. When he looked calm, he found that this "righteous" man was quite handsome. His national character was mouth and the long beard under his jaw was thick and dense. He looked righteous, but it was unknown what kind of thing he was inside.

The official who bowed and said to him by Xu Jin but refused. When he saw Shangguan, he just asked him a greeting. Why did he just flatter him? Even if I really want to flatter him, are you making fun of him in public? I don’t want to face him. It’s outrageous and I can’t admit it! Resolutely fight back!

"Chief Cai, who have you scolded for flattering? I won't tell you clearly today, I will never finish it with you!" An official said angrily.

"That's right, let's make the words clear. Who has flattered her? It's outrageous. She's actually tainted her innocence out of thin air. I and you Cai Peng will never stop." Another official immediately gritted his teeth and echoed.

"Yes, the one named Cai has made it clear!" Other officials all united in hatred of the enemy.

The Censor Cai, who was angry with the public, was not afraid. He didn't even look at the officials who questioned him. Instead, he looked at Xu Jin with a provocative look and bowed his hands aloud and said: "Although Lord Xu has worked hard and made great contributions, the officials secretly think that Lord Xu is not worthy of being granted the title of Duke of the Kingdom. He also asked Lord Xu to resign from the emperor as Duke of Jingguo, otherwise I will write a letter to fight to the end."

A trace of sarcasm flashed in Xu Jin's eyes. Cai Peng in front of him was the censor, in other words, he was a censor.

What is a censor? To put it bluntly, it is a group of trolls with business licenses who rely on swearing for their careers. The more powerful they swear, the stronger their business level is. The more people they swear, the greater the power of the people they swear, the more their performance will be, and the more praised they will be.

So censors are not afraid of your high position and power. The bigger your official position, the more they will curse. If you are a small fish and shrimp, he will be too lazy to scold you!

It is obvious that Censor Cai seized the opportunity and pointed his gun at Xu Jin to "make achievements". Such artificiality and sensationalism were nothing more than fame and fortune.

Aren’t you Xu Jin’s high position and power? Aren’t you Xu Jin’s saint-family Zhenglong? Aren’t you Xu Jin’s at the peak of your life? Yes, this censor is scolding you, and if I scold me, I will become famous.

When facing such a person, the more you pay attention to him, the more he will be more active. If you beat him up and beat him up, he will probably still beg for it. After that, he can brag to his colleagues about how he is not afraid of power, risking his life to uphold the truth and justice!

So the best way to deal with trolls is to ignore him, because when you are squirting to him, not to mention that you may not be able to win, after all, they are professional at least.

Therefore, Xu Jin directly ignored the Censor Cai and walked straight forward, as if the other party was transparent and all the words said were air!

When Censor Cai saw Xu Jin walking over as if nothing had happened, he immediately felt like he was punching the cotton and almost dislocated. Standing on the spot, his face turned red and white, and it felt really uncomfortable to be ignored.

Censor Cai gritted his teeth and was about to chase after him and continue to entangle, but the officials who were "sprayed" by him were reluctant to let him go. He rushed forward and surrounded him in the middle to ask for an explanation.
