Although Chongzhen wanted to move the capital to Nanjing, the matter had to be proposed by the ministers, and it was best for the cabinet scholars to mention it, and then he could agree to it half-way. But at the moment, except for a Zuo Zhongyun Li Mingrui, the other ministers are all pretending to be deaf and dumb about this matter, and Chongzhen has no choice but to wait for the opportunity.

However, preparations still have to be done, on the nineteenth day of the first month, Chongzhen sent the eunuch Liu Mo to Qingshikou to pass a decree, appointing Chen Yue as the governor of Tianjin, ordering him to lead his subordinates to Tianjin to take office, and gave Chen Yue a secret decree, ordering him to collect sea ships after arriving in Tianjin, and prepare to flee to Nanjing through Tianjin.

The decree was issued by the palace and did not go through the cabinet, let alone the review of the six divisions. It has been issued, and there was a lot of discussion in the court, and many officials were indignant, thinking that Chongzhen's move violated the Ming system, because he had been on the throne for so many years, and this was the first time that Chongzhen had not issued a decree from the cabinet. Many officials, especially some officials, must have a good reason with the emperor in the court the next day.

Who knew that on the morning of the second day, after the knock, before the officials could speak, Chongzhen himself had already wept bitterly.

"I am not the king of a dead country, but everything is a sign of a dead country. The ancestors were in the wind and rain in the world, and once they were lost, they saw their ancestors underground. I wish to supervise the teacher, personally fight a battle, die on the battlefield without hatred, but die without turning a blind eye! "Hide your face and weep bitterly.

The emperor was so uncomfortable, who among the ministers would dare to harass him with such a trivial matter as Chen Yue. One by one, they knelt down the steps and apologized to the emperor.

In fact, for Chongzhen's words, those low-grade officials are just that, and several scholars in the cabinet all understand it. Although Chongzhen cried and said that he would personally supervise the expedition, he actually asked them to express their position, hoping that someone would come forward and lead troops to Shanxi to resist Li Chuang's attack.

Although he knew that the superintendent was going to die, since the emperor had said so, those who were courtiers could only show their loyalty. So under the surrender of Wei Zaode, the members of the cabinet signed up one after another to replace the emperor.

Although Chongzhen had already made the idea of moving the capital in his heart, he still had the last glimmer of hope, that is, to be able to resist Li Chuang's attack and keep Beijing. And even if Beijing can't be kept, in order to buy time for the south to Nanjing, troops must be sent to resist. After all, moving the capital is not a matter of one or two days.

As for the candidates to lead the troops, the rank of superintendent must be at least the level of the six scholars, or the cabinet scholars. And the candidate Chongzhen has long thought about, that is Li Jiantai, a university scholar!

Li Jiantai is a native of Quwo, Shanxi, and his family has accumulated tens of thousands of acres of fertile land for decades as an official.

Chongzhen sent him as a supervisor in the hope that Li Jiantai would return to Shanxi and take out his family's wealth as food and salary for the army. Now Chongzhen has no choice but to come up with such an idea.

Li Jiantai also knew what the emperor meant, but he also knew that he had no choice. If the hometown of Quwo is captured by the intruding army, the wealth of the family will be cheaper than the intruders. It's better to take them all out on the initiative, so that you can also win a good reputation for being anxious for justice and righteousness, and breaking the family for the country!

"Your Majesty, the minister's Quwo, is willing to pay the army with private wealth, don't bother the officials, please raise the division to the west!" Li Jiantai stood up and asked for his life.

Seeing that Li Jiantai was so knowledgeable and took the initiative to stand up, Chongzhen couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Qing is really a loyal and patriotic person, so Qing will be a supervisor and recruit on my behalf!" ”

.......

Just when the Chongzhen court appointed Li Jiantai as the superintendent and decided to send troops into Shanxi to resist the attack of the Dashun army. Qingshikou, Chen Yue waited for the eunuch who came to announce the decree, but it was Liu Mo, an old acquaintance in the palace.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: ...... According to the deputy envoy of the inspector and the garrison of Qingshi Fort, Chen Yue, the enemy army was thousands of miles away, killing thousands of Mongolian Tatars, and raising the prestige of our Ming Dynasty....... Chen Yue was specially appointed as the governor of Tianjin, and he took office with Keri! ”

The eunuch Liu Mo finished announcing the holy decree with a serious face, and then asked Chen Yue to stand up with a smile on his face.

"Lord Chen, you are a feudal official at the age of a weak crown, looking at the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, it is really rare." Liu Mo smiled and complimented.

"Haha, trusted by His Majesty, Chen Yue is really honest, but it is really hard for you to come from afar, father-in-law." Chen Yue smiled and waved his hand, and a guard had already sent it with a tray.

Gently lifting the brocade cloth, Liu Mo's eyes were suddenly dazzled by the brilliant silver light under the cloth. The Manchu Dynasty said that Chen Yue was a reckless and barbaric martial artist, why did our family think that this person was very good. So Liu Mo's smile became even bigger.

"So that Chen Zhongcheng can learn that Lord Lingzun has been favored by His Majesty, and now he is also serving as the deputy commander of Jinyiwei. Your father and son are all high-ranking officials, and there are not many in the entire Ming Dynasty. Liu Mo said with a smile.

Yes! Chen Yue was really stunned at this time, and he just became the governor, but he didn't expect his father Chen Jianghe to also be in the high position of deputy commander of Jinyiwei. Why did Chongzhen treat the Chen family so much? Is it really for the little credit he made for his own private attack on the Mongol tribes?

"Your Majesty's kindness to the Chen family is very high, if there is a send, Chen Yue will bow down and die!" Chen Yue put away the countenance on his face and solemnly expressed his loyalty.

"Good, good, good!" Liu Mo was very satisfied with Chen Yue's statement.

"There is also an edict from the emperor here, you don't need to kneel, you can take it and see it, you must not leak it to others." Liu Mo said, took out a yellow silk from his arms, and handed it to Chen Yue.

Chen Yue took Chongzhen's edict and read it carefully a few times, only then did he understand the reason why Chongzhen added an official to his father and son.

It turned out that he wanted to escape to Nanjing! This is because I can fight, and I hope that I can escort him to Nanjing.

I originally wanted to flee to the south, and now the emperor also wants to escape, and this holy decree really suits my appetite. In this way, he can not only justifiably lead the troops to flee to the south, but also because of his ability to save the driver, he will become a real henchman around Chongzhen from now on.

And if Chongzhen really fled to the south, the Ming Dynasty would never have been like in history, and there would be a situation of fighting the Qing Dynasty separately. Chongzhen, who had been emperor for seventeen years, had absolute authority to command the entire south.

In this way, with the food and salary of the rich south, it is no problem to recruit a large army and block the Mantars north of the Yangtze River, so it is absolutely possible for the Ming Dynasty to keep half of the country.

As long as Da Ming is here, the Chen family will coexist with Da Ming because of his rescue work, and he may be named a marquis duke, and future generations will live a prosperous and wealthy life. And maybe Chongzhen will be happy, and he will marry Princess Kunxing to himself, hahaha!

At this moment, Chen Yue's heart was full of joy, and he only felt that life was full of wireless hope.
