The enthronement ceremony ended like this, it was not grand, it was a corner, and the grand scene was just self-deception, after the enthronement ceremony, the newly formed cabinet ministers did not disperse, and the five cabinet ministers, although they were a little thin, but after all, only half of the country was left, and the state affairs would not be heavier than before.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the enthronement ceremony has ended, and it is time to send the report to the provincial capitals, prefectures and counties, and inform the people of the world that the new emperor has registered in order to stabilize people's hearts.

"What the general said is very true, we should send out a report as soon as possible, inform the subjects of the whole country, stabilize the hearts of the people, and wait for the opportunity to go on the Northern Expedition!" Shi Kefa also echoed a sentence at the moment, Cao Bianjiao's words are right, he naturally agrees, he is now clear, he is now two-faced, the Donglin Party blames him and the mud, and outsiders regard him as the leader of Donglin, he is left and right, he doesn't blame anyone, he can only blame his own vacillation.

"Another thing is the emperor's teacher, now the emperor and King Yong are both at the age of receiving lectures, can not be delayed, I have a proposal, you can discuss it, by the university scholar Huang Shijun as the main speaker, Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shi Huang Daozhou as the auxiliary lecturer, and then choose a few well-educated Hanlin companions from the Hanlin Academy, what do you think?"

"Although Huang Ge is old, he is the first, champion and first person in the 35th year of the Wanli palace examination, he is knowledgeable and the most suitable, and Huang Daozhou served as the Hanlin editor and the bookkeeper of the banquet in the Tianqi Dynasty, and the first emperor is also the bachelor of the Hanlin Lecture and the bookkeeper of the banquet, which is also very suitable, I have no opinion, I don't know what you think?" Shi Kefa also replied again, still in favor, the person recommended by Cao Bianjiao this time was something he didn't expect, but it was indeed a very suitable person.

Zhang Shenyan, Yuan Jixian, and He Wuyu naturally will not object to anything, these two people are known for their names and talents, they all know it, and Cao Bianjiao has no selfish intentions in this.

"Then there is the name of the first emperor and the temple number, when I went down to the court just now, Qian Qianyi also mentioned it to me, I think it must also be decided as soon as possible, and now the cabinet is not in charge of the cabinet affairs, and this matter must be implemented as soon as possible."

"The cabinet is not in charge of cabinet affairs, what does the general mean by this?" When they heard Cao Bianjiao say it, everyone was taken aback, they didn't know it before.

"This is what I proposed to the emperor, the cabinet commanders hundreds of officials, responsible for assisting the emperor to assist in the administration of the court, the court affairs are complicated, it is already very burdensome, if you take the six ministries at the same time, isn't it more tiring, the affairs of the six ministries will be handled by the six books, the cabinet does its own thing, it can also reduce the heavy work, and can effectively supervise the six ministries to implement the decrees of the emperor and the cabinet, are you reluctant to delegate power? If I really can't bear it, I can make it clear to the emperor. ”

Cao Bianjiao didn't have a backache when he stood and talked, he himself got a general, didn't he also lead the rank of the cabinet, but he deprived half of their official positions.

Seeing that their faces were not good, Cao Bianjiao also continued at the moment: "If you have no objections, then continue to discuss!" At present, I have only the integrity of the Ming Dynasty in the south of Zhili, Fujian and Zhejiang, Liangguang, Yunnan and Guizhou, Huguang and the north in the hands of the rebellion, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Hebei are all lost in the hands of thieves, in such a situation, the government must be dealt with well, can not stand the toss, the six departments are the skeleton, the cabinet is the lifeblood, indispensable, improve the efficiency of the imperial court, this is the most important, when Wanli Shoufu Zhang Juzheng did a very good job, the emperor also has this meaning, restore the examination law, The six ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate set a time limit for the things that their officials should do, and registered them in three account books, one of which was kept by the six ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate as the base book, and the other was sent to the six departments for supervision, and the last one was submitted to the cabinet for approval, and the six ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate registered according to the account books, and inspected them month by month. The six departments can also register according to the account books, and require the six departments to report the implementation of the implementation every six months, and the violators will be dealt with in limited cases; Finally, the Cabinet also registered the books of accounts to verify the inspection work of the six sections. lest some officials be lazy and lazy. ”

"In the early days of our dynasty, there was a system for evaluating the performance of officials, and according to the Ming system, Beijing officials were "Jingcha" once every six years, and local officials were once every three years. However, in recent years, officials have been corrupt, and laws and regulations have not worked, and these systems have either become mere formalities or have become a means for officials to compete for power, and the law has been restored. Zhang Shenyan also spoke in favor at this time, he still has a position, although he is dissatisfied with Cao Bianjiao's entry into the cabinet as a martial artist, but the test method mentioned by Cao Bianjiao is a very effective measure.

"After Zhang Xianzhong rebelled in Gucheng, the list of bribes he had paid over the years was written directly on the city wall, and for a while, the prestige of the imperial court was sudden, which is why the people in Huguang and Henan flocked to follow the thieves later, I also agree with the implementation of the examination law, the decrees of the imperial court, must be implemented, not because of the negligence of some officials and slackness to cause accidents, even if sometimes an hour of delay, who knows what kind of big changes will happen?" Yuan Jixian also got up and said, back then, the matter of Gucheng, up to the cabinet and down to the county government, I don't know how many people were involved in it, and it was finally concealed, but only the emperor was the only one who concealed it, and many people were still very clear about the situation inside.

"Then let's implement the test method!" Shi Kefa also agreed.

"In this case, it will be submitted in the name of the cabinet, and it will be officially implemented after the emperor signs it! The personnel of the six ministries and the local superintendents must also take the essence and remove the dross. ”

"General, if you make such a big move, will there be a turbulent situation in the hearts of the people who have just stabilized because of this?" Shi Kefa also put forward his own opinions at the moment, as soon as this test method is introduced, he can be sure that many people will be cleared out of the officialdom, but now Cao Bianjiao is going to change the governor, it is all a major event of blood exchange, can half of the country withstand such a toss?

"Only talent is used, and those who are virtuous are the first, what's wrong with that? I dare to ask you, if you were an ordinary citizen, would you be happy or uneasy if an incompetent official was dismissed? ”

Cao Bianjiao is also reasonable and presents facts, and he is unwilling to argue with them about everything, but Cao Bianjiao's example is indeed irrefutable, and the people naturally hope that those incompetent and mediocre officials will be dismissed.

"Such a simple truth, you all understand, we remove those incompetent and mediocre officials, and elect those who can do practical things for the people, what is uneasy, and those who are uneasy are also those who have ghosts in their hearts, if they say such a thing, then I am really an incompetent person in the Ming Dynasty, and I should act decisively, do you want the things in Beijing to repeat in Nanjing?"

"The general is right, if it is not broken, it will not stand, the affairs of Beijing will never be allowed to be repeated in Nanjing, I have also heard, when Li Zicheng entered Beijing, hundreds of officials inside and outside the imperial court, as a result, those who died for the martyrdom of the country, but only a dozen people, most of them are to welcome the traitors, Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, even took the initiative to open the Zhengyang Gate to meet the traitors, and the first auxiliary minister Wei Zaode also persuaded Jin Li Zicheng, such a shameless person, it should really be cut with a thousand knives, my Nanjing court, will never allow such a person to appear again." Zhang Shenyan said again, this time he seemed very excited, in the past few days, as more and more people from the north went south, they also heard a lot of words, and Zhang Shenyan was also angry.
