As the saying goes, a chicken will crow when it dies. In the court, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. After Yang Tinghe's resignation, the Yang Party naturally collapsed and the Puyi Sect's strength was greatly weakened, so the upstart faction firmly gained the upper hand in the subsequent discussions. It is estimated that Emperor Jiajing will soon get what he wished and sacrificed his biological father, King Xing, Zhu Youze, with the "Huangkao" ceremony.

In addition, it is worth mentioning here that Yang Tinghe, Mao Cheng and Shi Yu left the job on the same day, so the vacant positions naturally need to be filled, and a personnel change that shocked the court is inevitable.

After several rounds of verbal disputes, the Puyi faction could not resist the attacks between Emperor Jiajing and the upstartists, and agreed that the Zhejiang Governor Xi Shu would temporarily take over the position of Minister of Rites. The latter belonged to the upstart faction and supported Emperor Jiajing's biological father as the imperial examination.

Of course, in order to make Xi Shu take up the position of Minister of Rites, Emperor Jiajing also made concessions and appointed Shi Jie, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, as the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, and also served as the Hanlin Bachelor, in charge of the Hanlin Academy. Shi Jie was Shi Yan's brother.

In addition, as representatives of the upstart faction, Zhang Cong and Gui E naturally benefited a lot. Zhang Cong was appointed as the Hanlin scholar, with a fifth rank, and a close minister of the emperor who was the emperor of Tuomi, while Gui E was appointed as the chief minister of the Zhanshifu, the sixth rank, and a close minister of the Eastern Palace, that is, the close minister of the future crown prince. In addition, Huo Tao, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, was also promoted to the fifth rank of the Ministry of Revenue.

Therefore, it can be foreseeable that the court in the next few years will be the world of upstarts, which is undoubtedly a good thing for Xu Jin. After all, upstarts such as Zhang Cong and Gui E temporarily regard him as the "boss". In addition, the chief minister of the cabinet is also the mentor Fei Hong, so any policy Xu Jin wants to implement will undoubtedly be very smooth. For example, the establishment of a Protectorate in Nanyang was successfully approved.

On July 15, 2018, the sun shone brightly. After the Wu Dynasty, Xu Jin, led by a small yellow gate, walked towards the direction of the Ganqing Palace, because Emperor Jiajing Zhu Houcong sent someone to summon him alone.

Xu Jin is undoubtedly the hottest figure at present. The little yellow party led him to the Ganqing Palace respectfully. When he was walking towards the Yangxin Palace, he suddenly saw a group of people walking out of it. But he saw a group of palace maids serving two beautiful women in costumes, which were the two princesses Yongfu and Yongchun.

"Xu Jin!" Princess Yongchun immediately smiled when she saw Xu Jin. The little loli has grown into a 15-year-old beautiful girl, who is almost as tall as Princess Yongfu. She has fair skin and sweet appearance, but in terms of heart, her appearance is a little inferior to her sister.

Xu Jin quickly stood up and saluted, "Xu Jin has seen two princesses."

"Mr. Xu is not a gift!" Princess Yongfu said in a gentle voice.

Xu Jin looked at Princess Yongfu. Even though he was used to seeing beautiful women, he couldn't help but secretly praise her. Princess Yongfu has an oval face, her eyebrows are as beautiful as distant mountains and white. Both her appearance and temperament are very similar to Lin Daiyu in the 1987 version of "Dream of Red Mansions". However, the sick and wilted princess at that time had a rosy complexion, with a slender waist as tied, and her legs were straight. Her figure had an innumerable charm, which was probably the result of practicing yoga all year round.

Princess Yongchun looked up and down Xu Jin, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Sister, look at that little brat Xu Kang is very similar to Xu Jin."

Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat secretly. Is my son funny like me? However, when it comes to his son, Xu Jin couldn't help feeling guilty. Kang'er is now over two years old, but there are very few days for him to accompany him. He has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father at all. For a child, a childhood without his father is incomplete.

Xu Jin secretly made up his mind that after returning to Beijing this time, he would not take on the task of being sent out. He would stay at home to accompany Xiaowan and Kang'er, and Ruyi and Jixiang, work hard to sow seeds, and strive to make Ruyi and Jixiang bear fruit as soon as possible...

"Hey, Mr. Xu, why are you stunned?" Mr. Yongchun stretched out his little hands and shook it in front of Xu Jin.

Xu Jin suddenly came to his senses and said awkwardly: "Sorry, I didn't sleep well last night, I'm a little distracted."

Princess Yongchun giggled and said, "I thought you were fascinated by Sister Yongfu."

Princess Yongfu's pretty face turned red, and she frowned and said annoyedly: "Yongchun, don't talk to each other."

When Yongchun saw his sister, he seemed really angry and stuck out his tongue playfully, but he didn't dare to do it again. Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat secretly and bowed, "Two princesses, the emperor summoned him, but the emperor lost his companion."

Before the red glow on Princess Yongfu's face had dissipated, she nodded and said, "Mr. Please... Oh, wait, the Marquis talks."

After Princess Yongfu finished speaking, she walked towards the flowerbed next to her, and Xu Jin followed in confusion.

"What are the instructions of Your Highness the Princess?" Xu Jinxing went to a few steps away from Princess Yongfu to stand in a convenient position. He was surrounded by palace guards, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

It is worth mentioning here that Princess Yongfu's wedding date has been set, and the prince-consort is Tang Xianji, the second son of Tang Shaozong of Lingbi. Speaking of this Tang Shaozong, everyone must still remember it, which is the commander of the Nanjing Jinyiwei who attempted to force Wang Cuiqiao as his concubine in Yangzhou.

As mentioned earlier, this Tang Shaozong was a descendant of Tang He, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty and Duke of Xinguo. However, the Tang family was in a bad luck. The title was cancelled by Emperor Yingzong of Ming. From then on, the Tang family plummeted. It was not until Emperor Xiaozong of Ming that it had a slight improvement. Tang Shaozong was named the commander of the Nanjing Jinyiwei by Emperor Xiaozong of Ming, and later was granted the title of Marquis of Lingbi. Now, Tang Shaozong's second son Tang Xianji was selected as the son-in-law of Princess Yongfu, and the Tang family seemed to be becoming more noble again.

At this time, Princess Yongfu looked around and took the initiative to approach Xu Jin two steps and whispered: "Mr. Xu, be careful of Lu Bing!" After that, she walked straight through the side with a gust of fragrant wind.

Xu Jin was slightly stunned, and his sword eyebrows frowned deeply. Princess Yongfu walked to Princess Yongchun, pulled up the latter's hand and said softly: "Sister, let's go."

"Sister Yongfu, what did you say to Xu Jin just now? It's mysterious?" Yongchun asked curiously as he walked.

Yongfu smiled and said, "It's nothing. Before leaving Beijing, Sister Xiaowan asked me to bring a message to Lord Xu!"

Princess Yongchun suddenly said oh, and the two left Qianqing Palace under the palace maid's wings.

Xu Jin stood there and pondered for a moment before walking into the Yangxin Palace. Speaking of which, when Xie Erjian ordered He Jian to execute Ono Yuri who was good at charming, Xu Jin made plans to offend Lu Bing. As the saying goes, the two powers were the least affected. Xu Jin would rather offend Lu Bing than to risk the danger that Emperor Jiajing was fascinated by Ono Yuri.

However, it has been so long since the incident. If Princess Yongfu hadn't suddenly reminded her today, Xu Jin would have almost forgotten the fact that she had a gang with Lu Bing. To be honest, Xu Jin has not been sure that Lu Bing would have fought against him for a Japanese girl, but now it seems that this kid has actually done this.

Now Princess Yongfu suddenly secretly warned that with Xu Jin's IQ and experience, she guessed it with a little thought. After all, there are two ways to deal with Lu Bing's current energy. The first is to use his position to dig out his black materials, and the second is to say bad things about him in front of Emperor Jiajing.

Princess Yongfu lived in the harem and was unlikely to learn that Lu Bing sent someone to dig out black materials. Naturally, she happened to encounter Lu Bing saying bad things about him in front of Emperor Jiajing. Xu Jin then thought of Emperor Jiajing's actions of rewarding the generals, so he became even more sure of his guess.

As the saying goes, the King of Hell is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult to deal with. Lu Bing is the youngest of Emperor Jiajing. The two have played together since childhood, and they grew up eating the same woman's breasts (Lu Bing's mother is Emperor Jiajing's wet nurse). Her relationship is extraordinary, so it is undoubtedly very difficult to offend a person like Lu Bing.

So Xu Jin is also very troubled now, and there is no good way to deal with this kid for a while. At present, he can only be vigilant and not let Lu Bing catch the handle, and beware of him being aware of his relationship with the monarch and ministers of Emperor Jiajing.

"See Marquis Jinghai!"

As soon as Xu Jin entered the Hall of Heart, he met Lu Bing in front of him. He saw this boy wearing a flying fish suit of a Jinyiwei and bowing with a smile on his face. If Princess Yongfu hadn't reminded him just now, he would have been deceived by this boy.

Lu Bing was a few months younger than Emperor Jiajing, but his cunning was extraordinary. Who would have expected that behind this boy's respectful smile, there was a ill-intention.

Xu Jin smiled quietly and said politely: "Lu Qianhu, how can you ask the emperor if he is here?"

"Xu Qing is here, come in quickly. I have been waiting for you for a long time." As soon as Xu Jin finished speaking, Zhu Houyan's voice came from the imperial study room.

Seeing Xu Jin calmly walking towards the imperial study room, a deep jealousy flashed in Lu Bing's eyes, but he could do anything. Now Xu Jin is at its peak and is even more favored by the emperor. No matter how much Lu Bing hates him, he can only hide his hatred in his heart.

Let’s talk about Xu Jin entering the imperial study room, and saw Emperor Jiajing standing behind the desk and looking at the map. The map was the map of the South China Sea seized by Xu Jin from the Westerners, which clearly marked the various countries of the South China Sea.

Zhu Houcong heard the footsteps and waved without raising his head, "Xu Qing Come here quickly, I have discovered a problem. If you say that a fleet of fleets are stationed in Dongsha, Xisha and Nansha will be stationed separately, this expense is really not too large. The treasury may not be able to afford it. If you try to build a steam engine, it would be unimaginable."

Xu Jin smiled and said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning. When our Ming Dynasty sea trade is on track, the national treasury will slowly fill up."

Zhu Houcong said bitterly: "How long will it take to wait? Now I feel that there are too many places to spend money, and the money is getting less and less. I want to build ships, cannons, guns, and recruit soldiers... I am afraid that it is not enough to spend all the 10 million you transport back!"

Xu Jin's eyes flashed: "Your Majesty, I suddenly woke up. Someone still owes our Ming Dynasty five million taels of silver!"

Zhu Hou was stunned and said, "Who?"
Chapter completed!
