"Father-in-law Han, how is the new emperor and Yongwang living recently, everything is still used to it, after the new emperor and His Royal Highness Yongwang came out of Beijing City, they have been bumpy for more than half a month, first riding a horse, and then taking a boat, it is very hard, Gonggong Han has to take care of the two little masters."

"General Cao rest assured, our family knows this, these days have been in the medicinal diet to serve the two little masters, now the two little masters have slowly become accustomed to it, and their complexion has recovered a lot, by the way, General Cao, can the enthronement ceremony be prepared properly, our family has ordered someone to prepare it here, and the new emperor has tried it out, it is very suitable, just waiting for tomorrow's enthronement ceremony!"

"Before coming here, I have already asked Shi Kefa about them, and they have almost prepared, these people always procrastinate in their daily work, if you don't force them, they won't move, just like the ploughing cattle raised by the people, you don't need to whip them, they don't work hard, hehe......"

"Haha......" Han Zanzhou also laughed, Cao Bianjiao's analogy made him feel very appropriate.

"Gonggong Han, after the new emperor ascended the throne, this eunuch and eunuch of the celebrant and eunuch Bingbi, I don't know what Gonggong Han's intention is, I can also make a statement to the new emperor at that time, Gonggong Han adheres to the principles in Nanjing, so that Nanjing is not chaotic, this merit should be promoted!"

"Then our family will thank General Cao, if the new emperor can not give up, the position of eunuch in the palm print, our family is still willing to fill it, share the worries and solve problems for the new emperor, and share some of the hardships of assisting the new emperor for General Cao."

"Got it, got it!" Cao Bianjiao also nodded at the moment, a political transaction was inadvertently negotiated, in fact, this means that Han Zanzhou and Cao Bianjiao have formed an alliance of interests, the two complement each other inside and outside, Han Zanzhou is willing, and Cao Bianjiao is naturally willing.

Under the guidance of Han Zanzhou, Cao Bianjiao also came to the inner court and met the new emperor Zhu Cijiong, at this moment Zhu Cijiong's face was really much better than when he first came, and the whole person was also a lot more energetic.

"General Cao is here, take a seat!" Zhu Cijiong was also very happy to see Cao Bianjiao coming, in this strange environment, he felt very close when he saw Cao Bianjiao.

"Your Majesty, tomorrow will be held the enthronement ceremony, the minister is here, is to discuss with the emperor about the matter after the enthronement, the situation of Nanjing officialdom, the emperor also knows some, there are many personnel, some are simply a waste of the treasury, such as this Zhan Shifu, mainly responsible for the internal affairs of the prince or the emperor, this is actually only a few people, but there are more than 30 people in the Zhan Shifu at present, as well as this Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, in fact, there are many overlaps with the responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites, and it is also redundant officials and redundant personnel. The treasury is already insufficient, and it is necessary to recruit soldiers and horses to recover the lost territory, and the expenses are huge, and the minister's intention is to gradually abolish these institutions, and in addition, the officials who have not done anything in the court must be eliminated in order to improve the efficiency of the imperial court, so that a report must be submitted to the emperor within two days at most, and the imperial system must be conveyed the next day......"

Streamlining the organization and eliminating redundant personnel, this is something that Cao Bianjiao has been planning for the past few days, there are too many people, and the expenses of the imperial court are still a trivial matter, mainly because there are too many moths, and the salaries of the Ming Dynasty are low, especially the lower-level officials are almost at the level of subsistence allowance.

After Cao Bianjiao finished speaking, he made a look at Han Zanzhou, Han Zanzhou understood, and immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, what General Cao said is not unreasonable, in the past, this Nanjing, although it was said to stay in the capital, in fact, above the officialdom, has formed an evil wind, known as Xianmen, when Chengzu kept Nanjing, it was to prevent emergencies, but with the passage of more than 100 years, it has deteriorated, and the officials who came to Nanjing are all those people, one is unwilling in Beijing, and has been excluded and suppressed, and has come to Nanjing to avoid trouble, and the other is some new science and technology scholars, There is no connection, and they are also idle in Nanjing, the three were degraded by the emperor from Beijing and exiled, the Nanjing court, it cannot be said that there are no virtuous ministers in the central government, but there are not many! ”

"Han Zanzhou, you have been in Nanjing for many years, and you are very clear about the situation here, General Cao also said so, when there will be no fake, then do it according to General Cao's wishes, for those departments with redundant officials and redundant personnel, to keep virtuous and virtuous people to go to the chaff, the Ming Dynasty must not bury talents, nor will it indulge those incompetent ministers."

"Obey the order!" Cao Bianjiao also surrendered his fate, this Zhu Cijiong, now he really has a bit of a kingly bearing, speaks decently, and is much more mature than going first, it is really the vicissitudes of the world, changing rapidly!

"There is another thing, that is, the cabinet, the six ministries, and the official arrangements of the celebrant supervisor, the minister means that the formation of the cabinet must be wanted, but the minister feels that the cabinet officials should not be concurrently in charge of the six ministries, so as not to be too heavy, the cabinet should be five to seven people appropriate, the six ministries should perform their own duties, should not be in the cabinet powers, the cabinet candidates, still need the emperor to decide, as for the celebrant eunuch, the minister feels that Han Gonggong is loyal and pure, and it is particularly suitable for Han Gonggong to serve as the eunuch in charge of the seal."

"The officials of the various ministries in Nanjing, I am not familiar with them, nor do I understand them, and I can't choose, General Cao, I believe in your loyalty, you draw up a list on my behalf, whether it is the cabinet or the six ministries, as well as the officials who need to be rewarded, you have prepared a detailed report, and I will make a decision after reading it, as for the celebrant supervisor, Han Zanzhou is indeed a suitable candidate, I will issue a will after I ascend the throne, by the way, General Cao, I want to let Brother Wang live in the palace with me, is it in line with the rules?"

"The emperor can rest assured, there is nothing wrong with this matter, the emperor now has only one relative of King Yong by his side, and living together is the result of cleaning up, by the way, the emperor, after this accession to the throne, he has to posthumously seal the name of the first emperor and the emperor's biological mother, Queen Zhou, after the emperor ascends the throne, he can issue an order to the Ministry of Rites, and it will be done as soon as possible, and the first emperor must be given a fair judgment."

"I know, thank you General Cao, along the way, General Cao has been sleeping all night to protect me and Brother Wang, this kindness, I will remember it in my heart, and after I ascend the throne, I will reward the general!"

"Your Majesty, this matter must not be, if the emperor rewarded the ministers, then what should others do, now Wuchang and Zuo Liangyu, Huai'an and Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, they are all holding heavy soldiers, I am afraid of disobedience, this reward does not care, the minister's determination is to assist the emperor to uphold the legacy of the emperor, Zhongxing Daming is his own responsibility, the emperor can have this heart, the minister will be satisfied!"

"Your Majesty, when Emperor Taizu was the emperor, after the capital was set in Nanjing, he once appointed Xu Da, the Duke of Hubei, as the general, who was in charge of the Northern Expedition to exterminate the captives. Han Zanzhou also lost no time in saying good things for Cao Bianjiao, and also brought out the old past of Zhu Yuanzhang's era as a proof.

"Han Zanzhou is right, I remember, General Cao, the Ming Dynasty is mine, but I need your assistance, and I hope that the general can be like Yi Yin Xingshang, Huo Guangzuo Zhao Emperor, Zhuge Liang Zhong Shu Han, and serve my Ming Dynasty with all loyalty!"

"The minister dares not to do his best, the emperor can rest assured, the minister swears to the sky here, the minister will regain the lost land and prosper the Ming Dynasty in his lifetime, and the minister will have no ambition in this life, otherwise the sky will thunder and smash, and he will not die well." Cao Bianjiao also swore to the sky and expressed his heartfelt words, which was his sincere words, not perfunctory.
