He said he was going to leave immediately, but in fact he didn't leave until the next day. The emperor's travel was extraordinary, all kinds of preparations were very complicated, and the guards and honor guards had to be properly arranged.

Now it is not the time when he fled from Beijing, but he entered Nanjing in a grand manner as the emperor, if it is too embarrassing, not to mention the identity of the emperor, and it is not necessary to make the people of Nanjing laugh. In this extraordinary period, Chongzhen has to pay more attention to his image.

When he was in Huai'an, Lu Zhenfei had already made some honor guards, and in the past few days in Zhenjiang, Lu Mingrong, the prefect of Zhenjiang, has also tried his best to prepare, preparing a lot of various things that are in line with the emperor's identity, and even putting on brand new clothes and armor for the three thousand soldiers who guarded him.

The guard of honor obeyed, the front hugged the rear cluster, the cars and passengers were linked, the flags were displayed, and the guards were ten miles long, and the pomp was extremely huge. Except for the fewer palace maids and eunuchs who accompanied him, there was nothing wrong with the others. The palace maid can also buy from the people, and the eunuch has no way to do it in a short time.

The emperor could not travel too fast, and the journey from Zhenjiang to Nanjing was less than 200 miles, and it took five days. And in the past five days, Shi Kefa sent people to send a fold several times, impeaching Chen Yue for his wanton behavior, wantonly arresting in Nanjing, Marquis Longping, Marquis Anyuan, Dong Anbo, etc., almost half of the nobles in Nanjing were raided by Chen Yue, and they were all charged with rebellion.

Chen Yue not only arrested the nobles, but also opened the knife to the gentry in the city on the charge of rebellion, more than a dozen officials have been arrested, and dozens of gentry in Nanjing have been implicated. The Pingnan Army and the Jinyi Guards were all over the city to arrest and raid the house, the people in the whole city were panicked, and the people's hearts were boiling, if they were not stopped, the situation would be out of control!

After reading Shi Kefa's recital, Chongzhen didn't say a word, but just ordered to speed up the pace of the march.

On May 20, the 17th year of Chongzhen, Chongzhen entered Nanjing, accompanied by Shi Kefa, a scholar of the Ministry of War, Lu Zhenfei, a scholar of Pingnan, Chen Yue, and others, to worship in the filial piety tomb and ask Emperor Taizu for his guilt.

In front of the filial piety mausoleum, Chongzhen wept bitterly, confided his grievances to Taizu, and admitted his mistakes.

Chongzhen vowed that he would definitely cheer up his spirits, reorganize the society, and recover the rivers and mountains.

After worshipping the filial piety tomb, under the protection of the ministers, Chongzhen entered the palace, ascended the throne in the Fengtian Palace, and announced the official relocation of the capital to Nanjing. Chongzhen himself is the emperor, of course, there is no need to hold any enthronement ceremony.

On May 21, Chongzhen issued an order that officials above the fourth rank in Nanjing should discuss in Fengtian Hall and hold the first great court meeting after arriving in Nanjing.

On that day, Chongzhen was in the court, the civil and military ministers stood left and right, after three shouts, Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair, looked at the ministers below, and felt extremely emotional, this is the first court meeting in more than two months, but it is not in the familiar Beijing, things are not people, it is extremely impressive!

After ordering the ministers to calm down, looking at the uneven queue below, Chongzhen couldn't help frowning.

On the left is the civil official, there are more than 20 civil officials above the fourth grade in Nanjing, and the military generals on the right are scarce, and there are three or two big hairy kittens, which looks extremely discordant. Most of the original nobles were arrested by Chen Yue and put in prison, thinking of this, Chongzhen stared at Chen Yue deeply.

For the first court meeting, it is natural to deal with the most important thing in front of you first, and the most important thing is naturally to pacify the rebellion of King Fu.

At that moment, Chen Yue, the rebel general Pingnanhou, stepped forward and told the process of quelling the rebellion.

Chen Yue briefly described the process of counterinsurgency, because he had already written a chapter to Chongzhen earlier, so there was no need to say more now. In today's court, Chen Yue mainly asked for credit for his subordinate generals one by one, and then it was after the city was broken, and he told about the capture of King Fu and Zhao Zhilong, and then according to the confession of Zhao Zhilong and King Fu, he arrested a group of nobles who participated in the rebellion and so on.

When Chen Yue spoke, the entire court was silent, and the officials looked at Chen Yue's figure with complicated faces, although everyone admired Chen Yue's martial arts, but his brutal methods were also chilling.

"Weichen has something to say." When Chen Yue walked back to the queue after playing, Shi Kefa walked out angrily and saluted Chongzhen. In the past few days, Chen Yue has not only arrested many nobles, but also arrested dozens of famous gentry in Nanjing, many of whom are close friends of Shi Kefa, which is beyond Shi Kefa's tolerance.

"Aiqing, please speak." Chongzhen smiled, he was very satisfied with Shi Kefa, although Shi Kefa was not able to stop King Fu's rebellion, but he was able to stand firm and not compromise with King Fu at the critical moment, which was enough to prove his loyalty to him.

After experiencing the Beijing Rebellion and countless courtiers rushing to surrender to the thieves, what Chongzhen needs most now is such loyal ministers.

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to ask the Marquis of Pingnan, why did the Duke of Wei participate in the rebellion? And the many gentry in the city, did you arrest them for the purpose of arresting the rebels, or just to confiscate their property? ”

Shi Kefa had a black face and pointed out that Chen Yue was arrested in order to seize people's property.

Facing Shi Kefa's questioning, Chen Yue asked lightly, "May I ask Master Shi, where were you when King Fu rebelled?" ”

"Why did Pingnanhou ask knowingly, of course I was arrested and put in prison." Shi Kefa said unhappily, not being able to stop the rebellion of King Fu was a pain in his heart.

"Hehe, since Master Shi is in prison, how do you know if those people participated in the rebellion or not, and whether they were attached to the rebellion." Chen Yue smiled.

"Besides, I only arrested the rebels according to the plan, but I did not convict them, nor did I kill anyone. Of course, it is up to the court to decide whether they are guilty or not, so why are you in a hurry, Lord Shi? ”

Chen Yue's next words suddenly blocked Shi Kefa's mouth, leaving him speechless for a moment. Chen Yue arrested people, but the power to convict is still in the imperial court, but the problem is that Chen Yue wantonly arrested people and raided their homes, but those people were seriously injured, and their family property was taken away by the Pingnan Army, what should we say?

"Master Shi, let's talk about these later, the top priority now is to set up the imperial court, and then the imperial court will interrogate whether those people are guilty or not."

Lu Zhenfei stood up and played a round. Shi Kefa could only snort and retreated helplessly.

Although there are six departments in Nanjing, but after all, the six departments in Nanjing are not as good as Beijing, there are not many things in Pingsuri, there is a serious shortage of officials, and many officials are involved in the Fuwang court and need to adjust their positions, so the most important thing today is to determine the candidates for officials in various departments of the imperial court, so that the entire imperial court can operate normally.

Therefore, today's court meeting is very important for every official.
