Chapter 1258 King of Beijing

Stimulated by Hanwen, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, Jia Yong instantly broke out in the small universe. He knelt on the ground and begged for bones to return home, obviously he was willing to do so.

The power of role models is endless. I think the great talent Yang Shen said, "The country has raised scholars for 150 years, and is today because of the integrity of justice." This has made many years of civil servants excited, and they have followed him to violently rush to Zuoshunmen, fighting for the "Tao" they insist on in their hearts.

As the chief minister of the cabinet, although Jia Yong was not welcomed at the moment, his appeal was not underestimated. First, Wu Wending, the Minister of War, Qin Jin, and then Xia Yan and Zhai Luan, the two assistant ministers of the cabinet, both knelt on the ground to support Jia Yong and Wei Hanwen.

Immediately afterwards, more than 30 people knelt down one after another, all of whom were civil servants in the court. Jiajing felt the pressure coming towards him. This was the strongest rebound of the civil servant group he encountered since the "Zuoshunmen" incident that year.

Faced with this situation, Jiajing was shocked and forced the anger in his chest and quickly returned to his calmness.

When facing the "Zuoshunmen Incident", Jiajing chose to fight head-on, arrested Yang Shen and other civil officials, demoted them, and even killed several people. In the end, he used power and force to settle the matter.

As the saying goes, it is of course fast and good to use force to solve problems, but the cost and sequelae are great. Jiajing used imperial power and force to quickly resolve the Zuoshunmen incident, but it also lost a large number of outstanding talents, and at the same time it had a negative impact on his reputation.

Jiajing is obviously much more mature now, and his political skills are becoming more and more pure. At this time, he will naturally no longer resort to violence easily. He just coldly glanced at the ministers who were kneeling all over the ground, quietly observing their reactions. He knew all of them with a firm will, who was swaying his attitude, and who was ambiguous and guilty.

At this moment, the Wenhua Palace was so quiet that it was heard, and the atmosphere was as tense as a bowstring!

Jia Ge Lao's courage at this moment was obviously falling sharply. He knelt on the ground and didn't even dare to let out a breath. He tried his best. It was often just a matter of a moment of impulse after being emotionally impulsive. It was normal to regret it. Jia Jun was a little regretful at this moment, worried that Jia Jing would suddenly say, just like he did to Yang Tinghe, "I'm sure!"

Then, he, the chief assistant, had to end up in a sad way, rolled the bed and went home to grow sweet potatoes.

Fortunately, Jiajing glanced at the audience coldly for a moment, and finally said lightly: "It's getting late, so I'll discuss this matter again after that, and leave the court!" After that, he brushed his sleeves and stood up and left Wenhua Palace.

Jia Yong and Wei Hanwen both sighed. They won the bet. The Qingliu civil servants around him surrounded him and surrounded them like heroes. Everyone smiled happily. For many years, since Yang Tinghe resigned, the civil servant group finally won again and forced the imperial power to concessions. It was great and worth a breaking point.

Surrounded by his colleagues, Jia Yong was like he was drunk. The compliments and praises he received at this moment were more than he had added up since he entered the cabinet, which was really helpful.

Zhang Cong glanced at the opposition officials, and a hint of imperceptible ridicule appeared on the corner of his mouth. A group of pedantic old people, do you think the emperor would win if he made a temporary concession? It’s not that simple. Let’s see, the good show is still coming.

As Zhang Cong expected, since Jiajing was determined to grant Xu Jin the title of Prince, he naturally would not give up halfway. Even if he made temporary concessions, he would just retreat as an advance.

Sure enough, in the next few days, Jiajing did not convene a court discussion to add Xu Jin to the prince. However, just when the opposition ministers thought Jiajing had given up, Jia Yong, the chief minister of the cabinet, was jointly impeached by several censors, on the grounds that the corpse was above him and had made no achievements since he took charge of the cabinet, and many nephews in the clan had illegal things.

According to convention, the impeached minister either wrote a letter to defend himself or pleaded guilty and resigned. As a result, Jiajing gave in two decrees to severely denounce him without waiting for Jia Yong to write a letter to criticize him. In desperation, Jia Yong had to write a letter to apologize for his resignation.

That's all, Jiajing was waiting for this. With a wave of his pen, he agreed to Jia Yong's resignation and sent him back to his hometown to grow sweet potatoes at the speed of a rocket.

The poor Mr. Jia finally got up and finally took himself back to his hometown and gained a bad reputation.

When Jia Ge Lao left, Wei Hanwen, the Minister of Justice, could not stay any longer and resigned from his post on the grounds of his health. This time, Jiajing was not allowed. He just criticized the Minister of Wei for a long holiday for one year and told him to take good care of his illness at home and not to go to court.

Jiajing dealt with Jia Yong and Wei Hanwen, which undoubtedly played the role of killing the chicken to warn the monkey. The opposition officials were no longer a monolithic. Their attitudes changed their positions ambiguously, and their positions were not firm and chose to remain silent. Therefore, when Jiajing convened the court meeting again, the resolution to promote Xu Jin to the prince was finally passed. After discussion by the cabinet, it was finally determined that Xu Jin was granted the title of King Beijing and the salary was 7,000 stones.

In this way, with the insistence of Jiajing, the first living king of different surnames in the history of the Ming Dynasty was born. King Beijing and King Jingbei were very appropriate. After all, Xu Jin defeated the Tatars and completely dealt with this century-old enemy in the north of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, it is worth mentioning here that Jia Yong went home to retire, and the second assistant Wang Zan took over the position of chief assistant, and the Minister of Personnel Fang Xianfu also joined the cabinet as prime minister as he wished and served as the fourth auxiliary minister of the cabinet. The pattern of the court changed in microseconds again, and the power of the upstart faction further expanded.

On October 15, the sixth year of Jiajing, the additional imperial edict was issued to the Xu Mansion in Xiaofang. The whole mansion was filled with joy. Oh my God, the master actually became the king and became the first living king of a different surname to the Ming Dynasty.

Three days later, Jiajing ordered the Ministry of Rites to hold a grand and lively enthronement ceremony for Xu Jin, and personally wrote a four-character golden plaque with "Bijing Prince's Mansion" and hung it on the gate of Xu Mansion.

For a time, Xu Jin became the most prominent noble in the entire Ming Dynasty, and his honor and favor were at the same time.

However, as the saying goes, the famous people are full of troubles. Xu Jin, who has been a man for two lifetimes, knows that cooking oil in a fire is not a good thing, so he becomes more and more low-key. He not only sends Zhao Datou and other personal soldiers back to Shenji Camp to work, but does not care about the government affairs and current affairs on weekdays, but just stays at home to be a wealthy and leisure king, and is devoted to the marriage of Zhier. Oh, there are also the marriage of Sanqin and Yisana. The wedding date of Sanqin and Yisana is scheduled to be on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.
