"Mr. Liu, you died so miserably. Fortunately, thanks to the emperor's grace, you have posthumously named Taibao. You were given a posthumous title of Zhongxuan and gave you a silver sacrifice. Alas! The undead will be at peace!"

At this time, in front of Liu Daxia's road sacrifice shed, Xu Jin, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, cried heartbrokenly.

After a long time of persuasion, Xu Jin's mood calmed down a little and was helped to the sedan chair. However, as soon as he returned to his official sedan chair, Xu Jin's eyes disappeared in an instant, and his eyes only looked in the direction of the Forbidden City.

At this time, Xu Jin saw a piece of paper flying into his sedan chair. When he opened it, he only read: "Meet at the Enjoyment Teahouse on Xuanwumenli Street."

So Xu Jin immediately changed his clothes, and let someone fall into a sedan chair in a secluded place, and brought a few followers to the direction of Xuanwu Gate.

As soon as he arrived at the teahouse, Liu Jin would come to greet him in person: "Mr. Xu is fine!"

Although civil servants and eunuchs often have different powers, it has become common for civil servants to make friends with eunuchs in private.

Xu Jin still cares about Liu Jin's relationship very much.

Not only because Liu Jin is behind the Ming Dynasty, but also because he is somewhat interested in Liu Jin's recent proposal that the empire needs a powerful monarch to reproduce the prosperous era of Yongle.

Xu Jin felt that Liu Jin was an aspiring eunuch. Every time he talked to him, he didn't want to be the chief seal of the Sili Supervisor, but wanted to make the Ming Dynasty and the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Sometimes, Xu Jin felt that if Liu Jin had a man's thing, he would probably be Wang Anshi of the Ming Dynasty.

Eunuchs can have such ambitions. Sometimes, Xu Jin sometimes thinks about the court officials who are gradually degenerating just for fame and reputation, and are even more disappointed.

The Ming Dynasty was not the Qing Dynasty, and after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, as the court's efforts to control folk thoughts greatly reduced, many scholars and officials had the ability to actively think about society, the people, and even had a certain degree of tolerance and acceptance of heretic thoughts.

Otherwise, Wang Xue would not have appeared, nor would he interpret the ideological trend of the late Ming Dynasty.

The current scholar-officials did not only regard themselves as the emperor's servants in the Qing Dynasty. They also regard themselves as the masters of the country, and many scholar-officials have their own sense of social responsibility.

Xu Jin is such a person and an aspiring person, so he is very interested in the Zhongjun Society organized by Liu Jin.

Because he found that Liu Jin's Zhongjun Society had a clear view on society and emperors, and he also let Xu Jin know the concepts of "nation", "country", and "citizen" for the first time. Even if it weren't for the organizer Liu Jin being a eunuch, he would have voluntarily applied to join as the minister.

But Xu Jin still doesn't know that this was all done by Zhu Houzhao. As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao intended to liberate the thoughts of the people of the Ming Dynasty. Once a person has no thoughts, he will only consider his own interests and desires like a walking corpse and lead to his depravity. If the people of a country have no thoughts, it will lead to the entire nation falling behind and declining without souls and motivation to move forward.

History has proved that backwardness is to be beaten, and the backwardness of technology and civilization comes from backwardness of ideas.

Many people in the Ming Dynasty, especially those who had mastered knowledge, were promoting the progress of people's thoughts. Zhu Houzhao wanted him to come earlier, so he mentioned that he had set a precedent for the propaganda ideas of association.

As the emperor, Zhu Houzhao naturally had his own selfishness and would naturally choose ideas that were beneficial to him, which could also be said to be brainwashing theory. Therefore, he asked Liu Jin, Zhang Yong and others to organize the Zhongjun Society, which was spread and taught everything from court officials and eunuchs to the lower class people and people in the martial arts world.

After a little gossip, Xu Jin followed Liu Jin to discuss the topic of state power distribution and land annexation for half an hour. When he wanted to continue the discussion, Liu Jin interrupted him: "Tingtui has already achieved results."

Liu Jin's words brought Xu Jin back to reality. Xu Jin has ambition and enterprising spirit and naturally has a desire for official positions and power. In the past few days, he was most concerned about the candidate for the Minister of War. When he heard Liu Jin say this, he said directly: "I hope to hear it carefully."

Liu Jin gave him the list: "I copied this from His Majesty's case. Wang Hua, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, and you are the two final candidates who will be the Minister of War. Your Majesty has not decided which one you or Wang Hua will be the Minister of War, but you should be clear that in terms of qualifications, Wang Hua is the top scholar and is still in the Hanlin Palace. If you want Your Majesty to choose you, the only one you can compare with Wang Hua is only loyal!"

As Liu Jin said that, he took out the application form of Zhongjun Society and the program of Zhongjun Society: "If Lord Xu really has the ambition to serve the country, he will join this society, because I, Liu Jin, don't want people who only want to be promoted and wealthy to become Minister of War."

Xu Jin understood what Liu Jin meant, so naturally he had to become a member of the Zhongjun Society before he could get Liu Jin's help to become the Minister of War.

Xu Jinxian took the outline of Zhongjun Society and looked at it. He saw that the title page was like a sentence: "Don't join our society if you are greedy for life and fear of death. If you are promoted and made money, you will go another way."

"Your Society is indeed different from other literary and poetic clubs. They are thinking about the imperial examinations and fame and fortune, but Youth Society directly abandons these selfish desires and is evident on paper. I, Xu, is also a loyal minister, and is not a person who is afraid of death. Otherwise, when he was the Liaodong Censor, he would not have killed the Tartars alone! Xu, then, applied to join!"

As Xu Jin said that, he took the application letter with great enthusiasm, took the four treasures of the study beside him, and began to grind ink and fill in the files and application reasons himself.

"Mr. Xu is indeed a righteous man all his life. With an official like you in the Ming Dynasty, it is a blessing for the country. The person who introduced the company to write the name of our Liu Jin." At that time, after Xu Jin wrote the application, Liu Jin brought the application and said, "I will submit your application, and our loyal society will evaluate you. After passing the assessment, you will pass your application. At that time, you will have to pay a social fee."

Xu Jin felt that the way of joining the Zhongjun Society was very novel. He was the dignified left assistant minister of the Ministry of War to apply for joining not only could he not pass directly, but also would be assessed, and he would also have to pay the social fee after being assessed.

Xu Jin sometimes doubted whether Liu Jin and the emperor behind him were deliberately selling official positions and titles, and in name, they developed a club. In fact, they wanted to sell the Minister of War. Because he had recently heard that the emperor loved to do business and even set up a royal industrial company, selling something called soap under the name of the royal family. The business was very popular, but it didn't seem like what a king should do.

Xu Jin wanted to test it, so he asked directly: "I dare to ask Eunuch Liu, how much is the social fee for this company, so you can prepare in advance."

"You don't need to prepare, you only have one tael of silver. You, Mr. Xu, can't even pay one tael of silver. If you can't pay it, we will lend you!" Liu Jin said.
