Xu Jin, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, did not know that he had been promoted to the Minister of War by Zhu Houzhao.

At this moment, Xu Jin was manic and took a book shelf out of the courtyard. These booklets were all Confucian classic textbooks such as "The Complete Collection of Four Books", "The Complete Collection of Five Classics", and "The Complete Collection of Four Books".

"No wonder I have devoted myself to studying for decades, and have been working diligently as an official. I still see more and more refugees. The officialdom is corrupt day by day, and I am all misled by these so-called books of saints!

These books that call people a fool can govern the country and the world! How to destroy the Tartars and how to safeguard the common people!

The family and country were ultimately misled!

There is no practical strategy for governing the country. It does not mention land annexation, production relations, interests, and it is okay to teach people to be slaves. It is not unreasonable to use the wrong place to govern the country. I want to burn you today. If you don’t burn it, it will cause endless harm. The king will be deceived by him and only know how to use the people but not fear the people. All officials will be mistaken by him and only know how to get promoted and make money but not know how to be safe in the world!”

Xu Jin was like a madman at this time, and he piled all these books in the yard in a mad manner, then asked the servant to pour tinder oil, and began to ignite the fire.

It happened that at this moment, Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, came and said, "I have an order!"

Xu Jin, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, had to change his official uniform and receive the order. However, Wang Yue, the chief supervisor of the Ministry of War, smelled the smell of fireworks, walked directly following the smell. But he happened to see a pile of books burning in the courtyard of Xu Jin, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and one of them was "The Doctrine of the Mean"!

The eunuch Wang Yue, the chief eunuch in the Sili Supervisor, was shocked and hurriedly ran to take out the book from the fire: "Master Xu, why did you burn this sage book? You are also a child of Confucius and Mencius, why are you so rebellious!"

Seeing this, Xu Jin couldn't help laughing: "The harm of the Four Books is really endless. Even the eunuchs say that he is a book of sages. Yes, it is a book of sages, but the whole article has no meaning to govern the world. I, Xu Jin, do not want to be a gentleman, and why do you want to read this book of sages? What's the harm in burning it!"

"Crazy, crazy. The former Minister of War was just bombed to death, and the new Minister of War was crazy!"

Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the seal, said speechlessly, but the imperial edict was issued to appoint Xu Jin as Minister of War, and he had to read it, so he still read the decree.

"Our family is here to congratulate Lord Xu on his promotion to the Grand Sima, but our family still wants to say that Lord Xu is now in charge of the world's military. Please don't be so rebellious. You must live up to heaven and the people!"

Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, sighed and then left with his sleeves.

Xu Jin has calmed down now. He did not expect that he would become the Minister of War before he became a member of Zhongjun Society. But because of this, when he thought that he was still a reserve member of Zhongjun Society, he was not as excited as others had imagined to be promoted to the Minister of War.

Xu Jin had a desire to be recognized by the Zhongjun Society, and even wanted to become a member of the Zhongjun Society. At this time, Liu Jin found him again: "It was very comforting to know that you became the Minister of War. The organization instructed you not to change the decadent military appearance of Liu Daxia when he was the Minister of War and to select a good future for the court! And when we meet the emperor tomorrow, do not obey and study the emperor's guidance. We are people of the Zhongjun Society. The purpose of the Zhongjun Society is to unite under the collective with the emperor as the core and seek profit for the Ming Dynasty and the people. Do you understand?"

"Please rest assured that Xu Mouding will not disappoint the organization's expectations. He will definitely be the Minister of War and regard His Majesty as the only core figure. He will never have any intentions!"

After Xu Jin, the Minister of War, said, Liu Jin nodded with a smile.

Here, the cabinet chief Liu Jian, the second auxiliary, the third auxiliary Xie Qian and others also learned about the matter of Xu Jin, the Minister of War, burning the Four Books from Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the Secretariat.

Liu Jian was so angry that his face turned red: "This Xu Jin, I saw that he never formed a clique but was not selfish, and was calm and low-key in his work, so he chose him and Wang Hua. Why did he do such a traitor? Can he burn the Four Books too?"

"This kind of action can be killed! I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!" Li Dongyang also gritted his teeth.

"It's a pity that Mr. Liu was killed. If Mr. Liu was not killed, a rebellious person like Xu Jin would not be the Minister of War! It was all caused by Ma Wensheng and Liu Jin, which made the court a mess!"

Xie Qian sighed and said furiously.

Liu Jian couldn't help but ask Wang Yue: "Eunuch Wang, does Your Majesty know about this?"

"I have told Your Majesty that the book was bought by someone and they burn it as soon as they want, and it does not violate the court's laws and regulations, so there is no need to investigate it." Wang Yue replied.

When Liu Jian heard this, he sat down helplessly: "Your Majesty is confused! This is not as simple as burning books, it is contrary to orthodoxy! If a scholar traitor becomes the Minister of War, he feels angry when he thinks about it!"

After Liu Jian said this, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian sighed helplessly.

But as Zhu Houzhao said, Xu Jin burned the Four Books as the other party's freedom and could not interfere. Moreover, Xu Jin's position as Minister of War was selected through formal court recommendation procedures. No one has reason to question it, and even the cabinet was unable to do so, because Xu Jin was originally introduced by Liu Jian and others, and the cabinet ticket was planned to be approved by the Sili Supervisor to form an imperial edict.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but feel funny after knowing that Xu Jin, the Minister of War, burned books. In fact, he didn't expect Xu Jin to be so rebellious. He suddenly realized that the people of the Ming Dynasty might really be more cute than he thought.

According to convention, Xu Jin became the Minister of War to thank Emperor Zhu Houzhao for his kindness.

then.

Zhu Houzhao met with Xu Jin, Minister of War in the Leopard Room.

Unlike the previous emperor who died and bowed to the new emperor, and when Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne and the court discussion, Xu Jin had already begun to feel a little nervous when he met Zhu Houzhao this time.

This time, although he was already the Minister of War who was in charge of the world's military, money and food, he had regarded himself as a member of the organization. He did not dare to disrespect Zhu Houzhao because he did not know who was the organization's person by Zhu Houzhao and who was evaluating him. He did not want to violate the organization's philosophy and have any disloyalty towards His Majesty.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

Xu Jin saluted respectfully.

"Peace, Xu Aiqing, it is my hope that you can become the Minister of War. I also believe that you can manage the military affairs of the Ming Dynasty well, and the safety of the world is on your shoulders." Zhu Houzhao said a few words and asked Xu Jin to retreat.

"I understand that I will revitalize my military and live up to your entrustedness!" Xu Jin said.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Xu Aiqing, Zheng He's navigation chart, do you know where it is?"

Xu Jin was stunned and thought that His Majesty suddenly asked about this, so he had to reply truthfully: "Liu Daxia had also asked Weichen to look for it before. Weichen has not found it yet, so he still kept it in a archive of the Ministry of War."

"Leave it to me after finding it. Don't keep it properly, don't leave the water!" Zhu Houzhao felt relieved.
