Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, Taipu Temple, Guanglu Temple and Honglu Temple are also called Five Temples. At first glance, they thought they were monk temples. In fact, they were all real government agencies in the Ming Dynasty. Among them, Dali Temple is one of the three judicial departments and is in charge of justice. They have the greatest power among the five temples. The top leader Dali Temple Minister is also the highest rank, and the third rank.

On the other hand, the power of the Honglu Temple is far inferior to that of the Dali Temple. The top leader, Honglu Temple, has only a fifth rank, and is a fourth rank lower than that of the Dali Temple. He can only be regarded as a minor character in the court.

In addition, although the function of the Honglu Temple is somewhat similar to that of the current Ministry of Foreign Affairs, its power is far inferior. It is actually only equivalent to the foreign guest reception desk and has no decision-making power. Therefore, the Minister of the Honglu Temple is only equivalent to the castrated version of the Foreign Minister, or simply the director of the Foreign Guest reception desk.

At this time, after hearing the report from his deputy Song Fangxing, Xie Siwei, the minister of the Honglu Temple, suddenly looked down. It is true that your status as a Duke of Jingguo is respectful, but it is too much to reach my Honglu Temple.

Song Fangxing glanced at his boss with an ugly face and said carefully: "Mr. Xie, Duke Jingguo is very strict. If he doesn't do what he wants, the subordinates are worried about..."

Xie Siwei waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, let's do it according to Duke Yasukuni's wishes!"

When Song Fangxing heard this, he felt relieved. He had no courage to offend Xu Jin, but he was worried that he would take the blame. So after entering the Honglu Temple, he rushed to ask the boss Xie Siwei. Now that the boss has spoken, if there is a problem, it will naturally be nothing to do with him.

"Okay, I'll do it now." Song Fangxing bowed and turned around and left.

Xie Siwei snorted coldly and said indifferently: "It seems that Mr. Jingguo is so rich and idle, he is extremely bored. He actually reached the Honglu Temple. It's simply outrageous. I don't dare to provoke you, but someone dares to provoke you."

After Xie Siwei finished speaking, he stood up and left the official office and went to the Censorate. The Censorate is commonly known as the Troll Base Camp. The thirteen censors in the country are under the jurisdiction of the Censorate. His eldest son is the Censor of the Censorate, and he is the Censor of the Left and Left of the Censorate, and he is the second rank of the Censorate, and is on par with the Six Ministers.

Xie Siwei went to the Censorate and the trolls' base camp was in a mess. Although the Duke of the State is noble, who gave you the power to intervene in the specific affairs of the Honglu Temple? This is clearly a bully, barbaric and overpowering act. It is outrageous and unbearable!

The matter soon broke into the cabinet. As the chief minister of the cabinet, Kim Xianmin only said three words: "I understand."

Since Xu Jin became the Duke of the State and was honestly a wealthy and idle person at home, Jin Xianmin has been at ease to be the leader of his officials. In addition, Jia Yong and the third auxiliary Luo Qinshuncong cooperated. Even though the fourth auxiliary Liao Ji was a little dissatisfied with the control, it was still relatively smooth in general.

At this time, the rich and idle man Xu Jin actually had a sign of interfering in government affairs. For Jin Xianmin, this trend must not last long, so he must take action to teach Xu Jin a lesson and further establish his authority as the chief minister.

The next morning, Cai Peng, the censor of the Censorate, jumped out and impeached Xu Jin. Then Li Li, the director of the Engineering Department, also impeached Xu Jin for being arrogant and domineering and rudely interfering in the affairs of the Honglu Temple.

Cai Peng and Li Li are both the chief assistant Jin Xianmin, so everyone is in love with him. Jin Shaofu wants to take the opportunity to teach Xu Jin a lesson, so that he will not seek to interfere in politics and be honest as his prince.

Just as everyone was about to watch the show, Jiajing on the imperial throne yawned and said disrespectfully: "I thought it was something extraordinary, that's it!"

Luo Qinshun, the three assistants of the cabinet and the Minister of Rites, looked in a scheming expression and went out loudly and said, "Emperor, although this matter is a trivial matter, Xu Jin, as the Duke of the State, brutally interfered in the affairs of the Honglu Temple. This trend must not be long-lasting. If the emperor does not punish him, all the nobles in the court will act beyond their authority in the future. Wouldn't they be in chaos?"

"What Master Luo said is very true. Duke Jingguo is domineering and domineering and rude in government affairs. If the emperor does not punish him, it will be difficult to convince the public!"

Officials stood up one after another and spoke generously in Luo Qinshun's tone. The more they spoke, the more they became more angry, and the more they spoke, the more they became stricter. There was no such thing as not punishing Xu Jin, and the Ming generals were not.

Although Xia Yan, Xu Jie, Qin Jin, Fei Maozhong and others had a good relationship with Xu Jin, Xu Jin could indeed do this matter. They were not easy to speak out and could only remain silent.

However, although the ministers spoke fiercely, Jiajing on the seat always maintained a calm expression, which was unpredictable. At this time, Jin Xianmin finally couldn't help it and took a jade scepter to step forward and said: "Your Majesty, this move of Jingguo Duke is indeed inappropriate. If the emperor does not punish him, it will be difficult to convince the public. I suggest that the emperor issue an order to reprimand and fine his salary for two months to serve as a warning!"

Jiajing nodded: "You guys are at ease. You all blame Duke Jingguo for being wrong. In fact, I instructed Duke Jingguo to be fully responsible for receiving the Tatar envoys. He did not overstep his authority."

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience was so quiet that it was heard. The censor who just jumped out to scold Xu Jin was so cold that his face turned red. Who would you say it earlier? It was a waste of my expression and saliva.

Jin Xianmin was skeptical on the spot. He was very suspicious that Jiajing said this to protect Xu Jin. However, as a minister, he could not accuse the emperor of lying in front of all officials, so he could only say one sentence in the end: "So that's it, everyone misunderstood Duke Jingguo."

Jiajing waved his hand and said, "This is my fault, no wonder everyone. I instructed Duke Jingguo to be responsible for receiving the Tatar envoys a few days ago, but forgot to notify the cabinet for a while and make up for it later."

The emperor apologized, what else can Jin Xianmin say? He bowed his mouth and retreated to the civil servants' queue. He originally wanted to use this matter to suppress Xu Jin, but failed, which instead damaged his prestige. Now all the civil and military officials in the court knew in their hearts that although Xu Jin had delegated power, he was still in the heart of the emperor. In fact, the greatest power was to win the favor of the emperor.

At this moment, most of the officials present suddenly understood why Xu Jin had to delegate power and retreated to the second line. As long as the emperor's favor was still there, others would come back. For example, this time, when the emperor received such an important task from the Tatar envoy, the emperor handed over to Xu Jin, which means that if he did not send troops to Tatar, it was basically a matter of Xu Jin's talk.

Although Luo Qinshun was a good man, he was also a person who believed in his own right. As the Minister of Rites, he had a lot of opinions about Xu Jin's approach to receiving foreign guests. He stood up and said, "Since the emperor instructed Duke Jingguo to receive Tatar envoys, Duke Jingguo naturally could not be considered a transcendent. However, treating the envoys so brutally would really lose the morality of our country and a country of etiquette."

Jiajing said lightly: "The etiquette of our Ming Dynasty is used to receive people who know etiquette. I heard that the Tatar envoys were arrogant and rude. What's even more hateful is that the beauty they presented to me was the people captured from my Ming Dynasty. Why should we talk about etiquette to them when dealing with such rude and shameless people? Therefore, I think that the Duke of Jingguo is not wrong, and even if they are cut off, I have no objection."

Luo Qinshun was speechless and bowed to the imperial throne and retreated in shame. The other ministers were also in awe.

It is worth mentioning here that since Li Dayi pretended to be a horse, Jiajing learned from his mistakes and felt that his ears and eyes were too closed, so he actually made the thief become a prince consort under his nose, allowing the demon to enter and exit the forbidden palace freely. This kind of head is taken off by others at any time, it is terrible to think about it.

Therefore, Jiajing not only strengthened the deployment of the Jinyiwei's force, but also re-established the already removed Dongchang, which was specifically responsible for detecting illegal illegal matters in secrets and private affairs, and had to repay him every day.

Therefore, every move of the Tatar envoy after entering the city could not be hidden from Jiajing. After learning that the Tatars were arrogant and used the captive Han girl as a gift for tribute, Jiajing almost burst into anger.

Therefore, when the ministers impeached Xu Jin one after another, Jiajing was very angry, but he was no longer the young emperor he had ever been. He became more and more cunning and more skillful, so he kept holding on. He waited until Jin Xianmin took action in person and said that he was instructing Xu Jin to receive the envoys.

In this way, Jiajing not only beat the chief minister Jin Xianmin, but also beat the civil and military officials of the court. The subtext is that I know everything. Don’t treat me as a fool, and they all honestly perform their duties. Whoever forms gangs and fights, I will deal with anyone.

In addition, the reason why Jiajing beat Jin Xianmin was related to the reopening of the Dongchang. The Dongchang is notorious. There are countless civil servants in all dynasties who have been killed. Moreover, the eunuch group was originally the enemy of the civil servant group. Yang Tinghe, a great man, finally destroyed the eunuch group into a half-dead shape. How could the civil servant group allow the eunuch group to rekindle?

Therefore, the chief assistant Jin Xianlian and the civil servants of the court strongly opposed the reopening of the East Factory, and the Ministry of Revenue did not allocate silver, which angered Jiajing. However, Jiajing had been tolerant of it and refused to issue it, but the East Factory was also opened. He paid out of his own pocket if the Ministry of Revenue did not give the money, and was determined to "open a factory" to be the boss.

The eunuch was originally the emperor's slave. The emperor had money and had to reopen the East Factory. The civil servant had no choice but to stare at him. Now the East Factory has been successfully reopened. The new factory supervisor and Xu Jin are also old acquaintances, and it is Lai Yi, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

Because the civil servants obstructed Kaidong, Jiajing was unhappy, so today he deliberately took the opportunity to hit the prime minister Jin Xianmin and the civil servant group.

After the reprimanding of the Minister of Rites Luo Qinshun, Jiajing felt refreshed and proud, and said, "What else can I do to start the report?"

The Minister of Personnel Fang Xianfu responded and said, "I have a memorial!"

Jiajing was quite pleased with this Fang Xianfu, so he nodded and said, "Fang Qing family will report!"

"The term of office of Yu Dayou, the Nanyang Protectorate, has been three years long, and now the Nanyang Protectorate is stable. I think Yu Dayou should be transferred back and others should be sent to take over as Nanyang Protectorate!" Fang Xianfu said.

Jiajing hesitated immediately because Xu Jin had instructed him not to easily mobilize Yu Dayou, but the Nanyang Protectorate was too far away and the Ming Dynasty was out of reach. As the highest commander, the Protectorate held military power. If he did not replace him all year round, he might have his own troops.
