ps: The third update, for the flying big fat man, ten thousand rewards. I still owe the alliance leader Dr. Ye and the hall master Bayi and his grandfather eight chapters. Also, ask for a full order!

The king's death is good, but it is more of a helpless choice. As long as you are a human being, you don't want to die, and the same is true for Chongzhen.

But he couldn't say his true thoughts directly, because it involved the face of the emperor!

Returning to the Qianqing Palace full of depression, Chongzhen thought about it and secretly sent someone to summon Li Mingrui in. Among the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, only Li Mingrui knew his intentions, and this person was the only one who could discuss things.

Li Mingrui was summoned to the Qianqing Palace, and after bowing, Chongzhen waved his hand and sent out all the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting around him, leaving only his henchman eunuch Wang Chengen by his side.

After looking around and no one, Chongzhen said to Li Mingrui: "What Qing said about moving the capital is very much in line with my intentions, and I have been doing this for a long time. Thou art very much in harmony with me. The ministers don't obey, what can I do? And it's secret. ”

"If Yiqing said that the capital should be moved, how should it be carried out? Where to get to Nanjing, how to solve the problem of guards, how to raise the food and salary used along the way, and how to stay in Beijing? Chongzhen threw out several questions in a row, all of which he had been thinking about for a long time.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since the capital is going to be moved, it should be confirmed as soon as possible! The route should pass through the Linqing Canal, pass through Xuzhou, Huai'an, Yangzhou, and cross the river to Nanjing. This route is based on a canal, which saves a lot of effort by boat.

But now the Central Plains is occupied by thieves, and the thieves should be prevented from cutting the canal to prevent me from returning south. It is necessary to prepare for both. ”

"What is the preparation of both hands?" Chongzhen asked anxiously.

"Prepare with both hands, one is to take the canal, and the other is to go to the sea. His Majesty could appoint a confidant as the governor of Tianjin, and order him to prepare sea ships in Tianjin, and once the canal was cut off by thieves, he could go straight to Nanjing by sea via the Yangtze River. However, the sea route is difficult, the wind is high and the waves are strong, and with the respect of His Majesty, you should not take this risk unless it is urgent. ”

"As for the guards, they don't need too much, they just need thousands of elites to protect Your Majesty and go south. Thousands of people don't need much food and supplies, and the prefectures and counties along the way should be able to raise them.

It is best to leave the crown prince in charge of the country, and then leave a cabinet minister to assist the prince, with tens of thousands of soldiers in the Beijing camp and more than 200,000 troops on the nine sides, which may ensure that Beijing is not lost. ”

Speaking of this, Li Mingrui's voice became lower and lower. It was because he knew that Beijing could not be saved, so there was a proposal to move the capital, and whoever stayed behind would be sent to death. But the capital is important, and it is impossible not to leave people to defend, and the prince is the best candidate.

"Well, that's right!" Chongzhen nodded, very satisfied with Li Mingrui's planning. However, the guards and the candidates for the governor of Tianjin have to think about it.

......

I talked with Li Mingrui for a long time, and discussed the specific matters of moving south one by one. He sent Li Mingrui out satisfied, just waiting for the right time, and proposed the matter of moving south again.

"Who do you think is the right candidate for the governor of Tianjin?" Chongzhen said to Wang Cheng'en that this location is too important, and if you take the sea route, it is important to be able to collect enough and strong sea ships. If you take the land route, you will pass through Tianjin, and the governor of Tianjin will be the main person escorting the south.

"This kind of militaristic event, that's what a slave can say." Wang Chengen lowered his eyebrows and said.

"What kind of, you are the master of ceremonies, my internal minister, what can't you say?" Chongzhen scolded.

"In the opinion of slaves and maids, it is most appropriate for Qingshikou to guard Chen Yue." Wang Chengen said.

"What? You say how that erection, with his youth and recklessness, can be in such a big position! Chongzhen smiled dumbly.

"Your Majesty, the slave thinks your safety is paramount. Although Chen Yue's actions are ridiculous and reckless, he can fight! Defeating thousands of Manchu Tartar cavalry and going thousands of miles to exterminate the Mongolian tribes, such combat power is second to none in the Ming army, and I am afraid that Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Shanhaiguan, is not as good as him.

Your Majesty, you have traveled thousands of miles to Nanjing, how many difficulties and obstacles will there be along the way, and it is the most important thing to have a strong army around you. As for Chen Yue's reckless behavior, with Your Majesty personally in charge, can he still go to heaven? ”

Among the thousands of eunuchs in the harem, Wang Chengen is undoubtedly the most loyal one to Chongzhen, and he did not have any selfish intentions when he launched Chen Yue, but wholeheartedly considered Chongzhen's safety.

"It's not impossible to say this, but Chen is used to cross-country, I'm afraid it's not easy to control, what if he makes a fuss halfway?" Chen Yue's ability to fight is true, but it is also the most uneasy, Chongzhen is afraid that he will not listen to orders like He Renlong, and be lawless like Zuo Liangyu, so how can it be good, Chongzhen will never allow himself to be held hostage by military generals!

"Your Majesty, why should you worry, I heard that Chen Yue's father Chen Jianghe is the most loyal and patriotic, Your Majesty might as well appoint Chen Jianghe as the deputy commander of Jinyi Guard, and accompany you by your side, with Chen Jianghe here, then Chen Yue will not dare to move!" Wang Chengen smiled gloomily and said the idea of taking Chen Jianghe as a hostage.

"Haha, this is a good solution!" Chongzhen laughed, with Chen Jianghe as a hostage, Chen Yue didn't dare not listen to him no matter what.

"Chen Yue has made a lot of achievements for me in the past year, and now he is serving as the deputy envoy of Qingshikou as the garrison, and when employing people, it is not impossible to promote him to be a governor. However, I'm afraid that the cabinet and the six branches will not have a good time. Chongzhen was a little embarrassed.

According to the Ming system, the appointment of such an official as the governor must go through the court meeting, the cabinet issued the appointment will, and after the approval of the six departments, it must be handed over to the celebrant to seal it, which is the general procedure. However, with the current bad relationship between Chen Yue and the officials of the DPRK and China, it may be too difficult to appoint him as governor. Not to mention anything else, the military department would not agree to the matter in any case, and the sixth department has the right to refute the holy decree, so it is too difficult to appoint Chen Yue as the governor of Tianjin.

"Your Majesty, you are too accommodating to those courtiers, don't forget that you can be appointed directly without going through the cabinet!" Wang Chengen said, the jade seal is in the hands of the emperor, why do you look at the faces of those ministers. Of course, such a decree is a central decree, and an appointment made without the deliberation of the cabinet will be contradicted by all civil officials, and the appointee will be ridiculed by his colleagues and refused to accept the appointment.

But Chen Yue is different, he was originally from a military household with no fame, and he became a civil official by chance, and now that he has become a feudal official, such a big temptation awaits him, how can he care if he has face, not to mention, does he know the difference between a normal holy decree and a middle decree?

Chongzhen smiled bitterly and shook his head, fighting with those civil officials all day long, and they were about to be taken to the ditch to forget that he still had the power to issue the decree.

"Okay, just issue a decree and appoint Chen Yue as the governor of Tianjin!"
