On the morning of the 20th day of the fourth year of Jiajing, the sky was just shining. The plum blossoms in the yard were blooming in a row. Several birds that were getting up early to find food were jutting under the eaves. The stern morning breeze brought the fragrance of plum blossoms and the song of birds into the tent.

"My husband, it's time to get up~ I'm going to court." Xie Xiaowan gently woke up the man sleeping beside her.

"Good lady, let my husband sleep for a while. It's not dawn yet, just sleep for a while!" Xu Jin hugged Xiaowan's slender waist, and his face was buried deep in his arms, like a child who stayed in bed and didn't want to go to school.

Xie Xiaowan was both distressed and funny, but she had already delayed waking up Xu Jin and had to be hardened. She said, "My husband, stop sleeping. It's time to miss the morning court again. If the emperor blames him, it will be a bad idea."

"In the evil old society, I don't know which bastard invented the morning court. He had to get up before dawn. Is this a torment? Is there any humanity?"

Mr. Xu felt in his heart, reluctantly left the warm bed, and then washed up under the service of his beautiful wife and maid, and changed into brand new court uniforms.

Yesterday, the emperor's imperial edict had been issued to the Xu Mansion. Xu Jin was promoted to the Minister of War, the Grand Secretary of the Zhanshi Mansion, and was awarded the title of Prince Young Tutor, and his annual salary increased to 5,000 stones. Once this imperial edict was read, the whole mansion was happy and more lively than the New Year. The master was promoted to the title, and he was also honored as a servant, not to mention that he treated his servants well with his wife, and the year-end bonus this year was definitely more generous.

The imperial edict also sent two new sets of official uniforms, one was from the first-rank prince's young tutor, and the other was the second-rank minister's court uniform. The prince's young tutor was only given a false title, so this set of prince's young tutor's gown was only worn on special occasions, while the second-rank prince's young tutor's court uniform must be worn when attending court.

As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. Xu Jin is handsome and extraordinary. After changing into this set of red second-rank official robe, he is even more arrogant. He is even more arrogant than the pheasant embroidered on the official uniform. Yue'er and the three pretty maids in the early spring and early summer have their eyes full of scorching eyes, their hearts are pounding, and their watery eyes are like a rippling spring water. No, it should be Liuhong, Liuhong, and Liuhonghong!

Mr. Xu couldn't help feeling guilty, and then he realized the pain of having endless farming at home.

After breakfast, Xu Jin originally wanted to go to the other courtyard to see the Ruyi and Jixiang, but it was too late to go up, so he had to rush to the imperial city to attend the morning court.

When Xu Jin arrived at the left gate of Chang'an, the front door was already crowded with officials coming to court, and his eyes were filled with "beasts in clothes and animals". Some officials who lived far away and had not had time to have breakfast were taking advantage of the gap when they were waiting to open the door, which reminded Xu Jin of the office workers who rushed to the subway in the morning, and felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

"Good morning, Mr. Xu!"

"Good morning, Lord Shangshu!"

"Good morning, Marquis Jinghai!"

When those officials saw Xu Jinxinglai wearing a crimson official robe, they all bowed in awe. Today, Xu Jin is a popular rooster in the court, with outstanding achievements and is deeply favored by the emperor. He served as the Minister of War, the Prince's Young Tutor, and the Grand Secretary of the Zhanshi Mansion at the age of 25... Every title can blind others' eyes.

Xu Jin was not arrogant about this. He was a man of two lives, but since he was almost beheaded last time, he has become more stable now because he can stand firm only when he is stable. Once a person is floating, he will easily fall into trouble.

Xu Jin walked forward with a smile on his face and responded to the officials who greeted him with a bow, making people feel as if they were bathed in spring.

"Good morning, Mr. Xu!"

"Good morning, Ziqian!"

"Good morning, Mr. Xu!"

At this time, three handsome and handsome officials came up to salute Xu Jin. It was Xia Yan, Fei Maozhong and Xu Jie.

Xu Jin smiled and nodded and said, "Good morning, Lord Xia, good morning, people will receive good morning, good morning, good morning, Zisheng!"

Xu Jie didn't dare to tell him, and Xu Jin called out the word "彩", which made him a little flattered.

"Congratulations to Ziqian for being the Nine Ministers and setting a precedent for our dynasty." Fei Maozhong sincerely congratulated him. He is now a doctor in the Ministry of Rites and is in the fifth rank, so he is just qualified to participate in the morning court.

As the second in the palace examination, Fei Maozhong was promoted from a seventh-rank Hanlin editor to a fifth-rank doctor in five years. It can only be considered a perfect match. No one dared to say that he was relying on me.

On the contrary, if Fei Maozhong had not had a single old man who was a magistrate, his position would have been raised long ago, but Fei Maozhong was worried that others would say he was nepotism, so he would have put his son in the position of Hanlin editor for three years. If it weren't for the upstart faction being cleaned up some time ago, and the emperor personally appointed him, Fei Maozhong would probably not be able to be the doctor of the Ministry of Rites now.

So it is a good thing to have a high position and cherish your reputation too much!

Xu Jin felt a little sympathetic to Fei Maozhong, but it would be better to be down-to-earth, at least he could build a solid foundation, not soaring like he was riding a rocket. Now he has become the Minister of War, and there are not many civil servants under his command. However, the military officers have a lot of talents all over the world, and they are all due to several wars.

Of course, Xu Jin didn't want to form cliques. This is the best state now. With his current power, if he forms cliques again, it will only attract suspicion. So just hold Zhu Hougui's big legs tightly. Anyway, this kid has been emperor for at least forty years, and by then he should retire and enjoy his old age.

"The people have been praised by the people. Xu Jin is ashamed of being the Minister of War." Xu Jin said.

Xia Yan looked completely and said, "Mr. Xu is so bad, but I think Mr. Xu deserves his reputation."

"What Lord Xia said is very true. Lord Xu has achieved great success and is familiar with military affairs. Looking inside and outside the court, no one is more suitable to serve as the Minister of War than Lord Xu. Lord Xu is in charge of the Ministry of War, which is a blessing for our dynasty."

Xu Jie's voice was calm and calm, and his eyes were calm when he spoke. Although he was saying the words of agreement, it made people not feel that he was flattering, but the words of the heart from the bottom of his heart made people feel good. It can be seen that this guy is indeed a skillful person.

Just as the four of them were politely accusing each other, suddenly a tall, thin middle-aged official approached and bowed and bowed to him, "Good morning, Lord Xu, Good morning, Lord Xia."

Xu Jin calmed down and found that this person was Yan Song, so he bowed quietly and said, "Good morning, Lord Yan."

Yan Song hurriedly bowed again with fear and fear: "The officials dare not. Before, the officials were deceived by Zhang Cong and Guo Xun, and did something unfavorable to Lord Xu. They always wanted to come to the door to accompany Lord Xu, but they had no chance. At this time, they happened to meet him and came forward to meet him and apologize. I hope Lord Xu will be more tolerant."

Before, Xu Jin was almost killed by Lu Bing and Zhang Cong, and Yan Song also took advantage of the situation. Moreover, his son Yan Shifan also provoked the scholar to march outside the Meridian Gate to put pressure on Emperor Jiajing.

Xu Jin said calmly: "If Lord Yan doesn't mention it, I have forgotten this!" After that, he walked straight away.

Xu Jin was originally not interested in a famous treacherous minister like Yan Song, not to mention that this guy once put a deception on himself, so he was naturally too lazy to give him a good face.

Yan Song was ate a cold nail and his face turned red and white. The officials around him subconsciously stayed away from him and offended Xu Jin, a popular man in the dynasty. Who dared to approach him?

However, everyone was curious. Yan Song had been demoted to the Imperial College. How could he be qualified to participate in the morning court by a mere sixth rank official? Could this guy come here to "meet" Lord Xu by chance, and then apologize with a hypocritical manner?

Hehe, if I had known this, why would I have been there?
