Chapter 369: Life is like a play
The morning court on 369 is the most annoying day for Chen Yue, because he has to get up early before dawn, change into a python robe and jade belt, and go to the palace.
Chongzhen is diligent as always, and all matters in the DPRK and China must be handled by the DPRK, but most of the various things have nothing to do with Chen Yue. He is now only the commander of the Pingnan Army, and although he has the position of governor of Jiangbei, he has not yet taken up his new position.
The atmosphere in Nanjing's court is much better than in Beijing, at least there are not so many quarrels. Most of the gentlemen of the Manchu Dynasty were brave enough to do things, and for some reason, Chongzhen did not appoint too many imperial histories after appointing six departments to the middle of the matter, and most of the imperial histories of the thirteen provinces were vacant, resulting in two or three big hairy kittens in the Imperial Inspectorate. Without so many imperial historians, there were suddenly a lot less things to talk about.
Shi Kefa and Lu Zhenfei are both brave in doing things, although Qian Qianyi likes to fight for power and profit, but he is not bad at all, plus the court is newly established, and the contradictions have not yet been stimulated, so in addition to the trial of rebellious things, the court is quite harmonious.
Recently, there have been a lot of things in the imperial court, and the war between the northern Manchu and the thieves has been divided, and the thieves retreated to Shaanxi, giving up the river to the Manchus.
In Sichuan, Zhang Xianzhong's thief army marched forward, Chengdu has fallen, and a large area of land in Shu fell into the hands of the thief, and it is reported that the thief ascended the throne in Chengdu and called the emperor, and built a pseudo-country name "Daxi". Local officials in Sichuan went to Nanjing several times to ask for troops to be sent to encircle and suppress the thieves.
After discussion by the imperial court, it was ordered that He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, and Zuo Liangyu, the general of the thief, jointly send troops into Sichuan to suppress the bandits.
However, He Tengjiao's troops are limited, and although Zuo Liangyu has an army of 200,000, he has always been used to being domineering, and he is willing to obey the orders of the imperial court.
Fortunately, the raid of Xungui copied nearly 10 million taels of gold and silver, and now that the treasury is solid, Chongzhen ordered Zuo Liangyu to allocate 500,000 military salaries and ordered him to send troops along the Jiangxi River.
The handling of various affairs one by one, it is best to be about to disperse the dynasty, and suddenly there is a royal history to impeach Chen Yue, the Marquis of Pingnan, which makes Chen Yue cheer up and listen carefully.
"Shen Chenquan in the Criminal Division, impeached Chen Yue, Marquis of Pingnan, and beat the scholar in the Qinglou to occupy the Oiran singer!"
The imperial historian named Shen Chenquan knelt down in front of the steps, and presented the impeachment note with both hands.
The great eunuch Han Zanzhou took the chapter from him and respectfully handed it to Chongzhen.
Chongzhen glared at Chen Yue viciously, boy, you wait! As soon as he thought that this guy was thinking about his baby daughter and dared to go to a place like Qinglou, Chongzhen felt that he was angry and had the heart to kill Chen Yue!
Shen Chenquan told Chen Yue's behavior that day, focusing on the incident when Chen Yue sent someone to beat Fang Mingxia, causing Fang Mingxia to be seriously injured.
"Marquis Pingnan, with the respect of a marquis, has done something that insults the minister's dignity, and I ask Your Majesty to punish him severely according to the law!" Shen Chenquan finally said.
"Pingnanhou, are you guilty?" Chongzhen put down the fold and asked coldly.
Chen Yue walked out of the class and said proudly: "This is pure slander, Chen Qing has never done anything like that!" What Meixianglou, the minister doesn't even know where it is! ”
"Pingnanhou, that day you and Funinghou went to Meixianglou together, and for the combing power of the Oiran Kou Baimen, you personally beat the student Fang Mingxia, there are many witnesses in this matter, do you dare not admit it?"
Shen Chenquan pointed at Chen Yue and said angrily.
"What are you, dare to question Ben Hou!" Chen Yue was also angry, "Ben Hou was invited to the banquet by Fu Ning Hou, so what?" What is the name of Xia and Qiu, what can Ben Hou do if he beats you? ”
"You, you, you, rampant!" Shen Chenquan pointed at Chen Yue, he was so angry that he couldn't speak, according to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how big an official is, even if he is the first assistant of the court, he will take the initiative to resign when he encounters the impeachment of the imperial history, how can he have such an arrogant attitude?
"Ahem," with a cough, the second assistant Lu Zhenfei stepped forward, "Your Majesty, the dispute between Pingnanhou and the Shengren is just a trivial matter, and it seems that there is no need to make trouble in the court." ”
In Lu Zhenfei's opinion, Chen Yue's beating a student is just a trivial matter, and going to the Qinglou is nothing, this kind of thing is really unseemly and wastes everyone's precious time.
"Jifu-sama, how can this be a trivial matter?" Shen Chenquan said angrily, "Marquis Pingnan, with the dignity of a marquis, flies and beats the living, if he doesn't deal with him, will he be disrespectful to human lives and poisonous creatures?" ”
"Damn, you dare to curse me!" Chen Yue was furious, raised his fist and forced it over, "Lao Tzu will let you taste what it means to be a grass and a human life!" ”
"Enough!" Chongzhen lifted the paperweight and slapped it on the dragon case, making a loud noise, "What kind of place should you be, so wild!" Come on, fork him out for me! ”
The two imperial guards stepped forward, grabbed Chen Yue's arm, and dragged him out of the hall.
"Your Majesty, you can't do this to me, I have shed blood for Daming, I have been injured for Your Majesty......" Chen Yue struggled, being dragged farther and farther away.
Wang Yin covered his face, ashamed and embarrassed, Hou Ye's performance is really clumsy!
"Okay, okay, it's all outside the hall, let go of Lao Tzu." Chen Yue said impatiently.
The two guards hurriedly let go of his arm and stepped forward with a smile to help Chen Yue smooth out the crumpled python robe.
"You two boys, how about being a royal guard in the palace?" Chen Yue stood at the bottom of the stairs and asked with a smile.
"Back to the Hou Ye, it is very easy and majestic. But it's a little boring. One of the guards laughed.
"Master Hou, I still want to return to our Pingnan Army, or fight on the battlefield and be happy." Another guard also said.
"You two boys, you are so blessed that you don't know how to enjoy!" Chen Yue scolded with a smile.
Chen Yue's arrogance in the court aroused the righteous indignation of the officials, and Xiong Rulin went out to impeach Chen Yue for slandering and rebelling, and arrested the gentry at will under the pretext of arresting rebellion, and framed the crime of occupying other people's property.
Yu Shi Qiao can be hired to impeach Chen Yue, occupy the Wei State Mansion as a private property, and embezzle and confiscate the silver two shops.
For a time, the crowd was excited, and the whole dynasty was in the midst of impeaching Chen Yue.
The second assistant Lu Zhenfei wanted to defend Chen Yue, but he didn't know how to export, but the first assistant Shi Ke was silent and silent, because many of the imperial histories who impeached Chen Yue were his henchmen.
In the end, Qian Qianyi stood up and said, although Chen Yue was wrong, but his credit was also great, and the dynasty was the time to employ people, a good general like Chen Yue could not be easily punished, and the merits could be offset by the merits, so that he would leave Nanjing on a certain day and go to Yangzhou to take office.
Wang Yin, the household servant, went out of the class, Chen Yue made such a great achievement, but he was punished for a small mistake, which was afraid of hurting the heart of the hero. Therefore, after discussion, it was decided to take out the confiscated noble land and reward it to the meritorious soldiers, and give the Wei State Mansion to Chen Yue, and change it to the Pingnan Marquis Mansion to show the heart of rewarding the meritorious heroes. All the soldiers in the Pingnan army who should have made meritorious contributions were rewarded, and they were promoted to the rank of silver according to their merits, and Chen Yue was no longer promoted to his title, and he was appointed as the governor of Jiangbei with the title of Marquis of Pingnan.
