"The chief manager is a smart person."

Zhao Zhilong wanted to speak but stopped, and a smile appeared on his face.

Du Sheng had long seen his ambitions, so he stopped pretending. He smiled coldly and said to him:

"Do you want our family to recommend you to be a garrison?"

Hearing this, Zhao Zhilong panicked for a moment, then calmed down, nodded and said, "The Duke of Wei has given up the court's kindness. Nanjing has not had any military merits to defend it for nearly twenty years."

"This is not good news for Wu Xun and the Grand Manager."

"If the court finds that there is no difference between this coordination and the equipment or not, and from then on, will this position be set up again, will Wu Xun never have a future?"

Du Sheng snorted coldly, and his mind became active secretly.

After a long time, he suddenly laughed again:

"Zhao Zhilong, there are many martial arts in Nanjing City, and there are many people with higher status than you. Why did you conclude that the emperor would give you the position of assistant garrison and a member of Xincheng Bo's lineage?"

Zhao Zhilong smiled:

"It's because I can't make a conclusion that I came to the chief executive!"

"You think, who am I and who are you? I have made me serve as a counselor. Do those who are good at writing and writing have any good fruits?"

After saying that, he smiled sinisterly.

Du Sheng looked at him, picked up the teacup and started drinking.

......

When the emperor is outside, the court meeting does not need to be opened, and the memorials still have to be read.

When the inner supervisor brought a bunch of "homework", it was already dusk that day in Nanjing. Zhu Youxiao was like a warm pavilion in the Qianqing Palace, huddled in the chair of the imperial tent to take a nap, but the blue cat was missing in his arms.

“Meow~”

Suddenly, Zhu Youxiao opened his eyes lazily, smiled slightly, and displayed the good news from Sun Chuanting and his imperial pen side by side on the table, jokingly:

"You brought it too."

"It's all for His Majesty's like."

Wang Chaofu was also glad that he made this decision without telling the story of Emperor Tianqi. He stood aside and whispered:

"Your Majesty likes it so much, then give the little master a name."

"I'm the worst at naming this, Chaofu, tell me."

Zhu Youxiao held the blue cat and kept stroking it with one hand. He closed his eyes tiredly, then let out a "um" sound from his nose and relaxed his breath.

During this period, he was thinking about how to carry out reforms in Nanjing.

Since the Yongle year, Nanjing City has retained a complete set of imperial institutions, including the nine ministers of the civil service system, the five military governor's office of the military service system, and the twenty-four supervisory bureau of the internal minister system.

Compared with the same level in the capital, the imperial institutions established in Nanjing are far less powerful than those established by the government, but their salary is a little less than that.

During the Ming Dynasty, emperors of all dynasties regarded Nanjing as their fundamental land. No one thought about abolishing the small court in Nanjing. Without exception, they were all paying special attention to their security conditions.

From the end of Yongle to the beginning of Jingtai, through the management and improvement of emperors of all generations, Nanjing gradually formed a unique Nanjing garrison system, and to this day.

The Nanjing garrison officials come from three systems: Inner-in-law, Martial and Civil-in-law. They are composed of one internal garrison (Inner-in-law), one cooperative garrison (Martial-in-law), and one counselor (Civil-in-law), and are jointly responsible for the preservation affairs of Nanjing.

The external garrison and the coordinated garrison were inherited by the Duke of Wei. Until the contemporary Duke of Wei Xu Hong voluntarily gave up his post in the 20th year of Wanli, he had been in charge of the Governor's Office of the Five Armys in Nanjing and the various garrisons under his jurisdiction.

The inner guard Du Sheng led all the supervisory bureaus in Nanjing and presided over the internal affairs of the Nanjing Palace.

The counselor's office is generally appointed by the Minister of War in Nanjing. Now Wang Yongguang is the leader of the Nanjing Ministry of War and daily affairs, with the greatest power.

Compared with foreign ministers and civil and military officials, Du Sheng, who was an internal custody, may have less power than the Minister of War, who was the counselor of the Ministry of War, but his position is more extensive, and he also has the right to participate in military and national affairs under the jurisdiction of Wu Xun.

Because Du Sheng was born in the Wei family, it is widely rumored that he has received the trust and support of the emperor. In the past two years, he has often surpassed civil officials in matters of Nanjing in all sizes and major, and has actually become the second force in power in Nanjing.

In addition, Du Sheng, an internal garrison guard, also played an important role in maintaining the security and stability of the Nanzhili area.

The external garrisons in Nanjing were mostly held by honorary officials. In the Ming Dynasty, the honorary officials were of great power in the early days. After the early Ming Dynasty, their power was gradually replaced by civil officials and declined.

The role of external garrisons in Nanjing and coordinated garrisons in maintaining Nanjing's security is not as good as that of counselors and officers. As for gaining the trust of the emperor, it is not as good as internal garrisons, and instead is often suspicious.

With the defensive military facilities in various places and the lack of attention from military personnel, the Duke of Wei, who was a co-garrison in Nanjing, had also prepared many positions, which was already useless.

This is also the reason why Xu Hongji voluntarily gave up his post. He had long discovered that in fact, the right to speak in the affairs of Nanjing is completely inferior to the internal garrison and the Minister of War.

Even matters that need to be handled by the Assistant Guardians, the Internal Guardians and the Minister of War can participate in it, and disputes and disputes are often formed.

Moreover, the military honors have declined and their power is not considered to be the third force at all. In Nanjing, the civil officials are checks and balances with the "eunuch party" headed by Du Sheng, the internal garrison guard.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao turned his head and found that Wang Chaofu was writing his name on paper. He paid special attention to his writing style and joked:

"If you don't have the body of an axe, you can still take the Hanlin exam. I can choose to enter the cabinet and let you become a Grand Secretary."

"Your Majesty is too proud. With the ability of a servant, how can you become a Grand Secretary?"

After Wang Chaofu finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao laughed:

"As a Grand Secretary, you can do it by reading and literacy."

Wang Chaofu could naturally hear that Emperor Tianqi's words were filled with dissatisfaction and disdain for the so-called great scholars and sages.

His eyes lit up and he said:

"Your Majesty likes the name of the Grand Secretary, so why call it the Grand Secretary of the Cat Room?"

"Master's Grand Secretary..."

Zhu Youxiao murmured and chuckled:

"It's a bit unreasonable when the cat room is cried. Let's be the master. From now on, we will change the big cat room to the cat room. As for it..."

"Just call him the Grand Secretary of the Maoge! How about it?"

"Your Majesty's wise!"

After hearing this, Wang Chaofu hurriedly bowed to the mountain and shouted.

Zhu Youxiao held the Grand Secretary of Maoge in his arms, looked at the words written by the Emperor Chao Supplement just now, and said, "These two words you are considered decent and dignified, so it's a pity to bury them."

"Ask the people from the Supervisor to send them to Funing Hou Mansion and give them to watch."

Wang Chaofu looked at the emperor for a long time, then looked back at his "graffiti". He couldn't help but wonder that before he entered the Silijian, although he had studied in the inner study for two days, the words could only be described as miserable.

When Wang Chaofu gave a pair of words like this, he didn't know what the emperor was going to do.

......

The emperor has been in Nanjing for a day, without any orders, nor has he entered Nanjing City. I wonder if something is brewing again.

Zhu Guobi was very nervous for a while because the Yingtian Prefecture Office was arresting people in a large-scale manner.

The prefect Yingtian was from the eunuch party. This time he arrested people in the market. He picked Li Sancai's disciples to arrest him, so he must have received Du Sheng's instructions.

How did Du Sheng know their plans?

Could it be that Du Sheng did this because he received instructions from Wei Zhongxian?

Zhu Guobi just finished discussing with Li Sancai in the restaurant, and both of them were full of questions, but now that things have come, they still have to continue to pull Du Sheng into the water at any cost. They can't bear to take this matter.

Only by pulling people to shore up can you fall a lot. If Du Sheng, who is ranked high in the eunuch party, may be a turning point!

When he returned to the mansion, the Funing Hou Zhu Guobi was listless and did not raise his head, saying to the butler:

"If someone comes to see me, I will say that I am in good health and will not see any guests!"

After saying that, he didn't wait for the butler to reply for a while.

Zhu Guobi put down what he was doing and turned his head in anger, but found that the butler's face was pale and he was stuttering when he spoke.

"Hao, Marquis, Master, Tian Ergeng is here."

"What is he here to do?"

Zhu Guobi suddenly woke up.
