Chen Yue's father and son and Wu Mengming were all made marquis, and Lu Zhenfei was awarded the title of Zuodu Yushi Wuyingdian Scholar, and the reward was not over yet.

Yang Zhengping was named the Huai'an General Army, Chen Ping, Chen Mo, Jin Xin and others were each named deputy generals, staff generals, guerrilla generals, and Chen Yue's subordinates can be said to be one of them.

Yuan Kewang was named the right Zhongyun to serve the emperor's side, and Wang Yin was named the household servant, both of whom had the fame of showing off their talents, and they escaped from Beijing together, so they were naturally used by Chongzhen as a future henchman.

Of course, if all these rewards are to be implemented, they must wait for Chongzhen to arrive in Nanjing before they can be officially implemented with the jade seal. However, with Chongzhen's current verbal promise, as long as Chongzhen is still the Son of Heaven, the reward is a certainty.

After the reward, Chen Yue and Lu Zhenfei explained to Chongzhen the arrangements for leaving for Huai'an tomorrow, and they both retired. When exiting the cabin, Chen Yue turned his head slightly, and saw Zhang Xiu'er helping Chongzhen to the back cabin.

Wu Mengming was responsible for the escort, and Chen Jianghe personally sent Lu Zhenfei and Chen Yue to the shore. Chen Yue stood on the deck and looked left and right, but he never saw Princess Kunxing appear, so he had to sigh secretly and get off the ship along the rope ladder.

Knowing that the father and son had something to discuss, after going ashore, Lu Zhenfei exchanged a few words of greeting, and then went back to the camp to rest.

"Ah Yue!" Through the glimmer of the bonfire, looking at his son's resolute face, Chen Jianghe was extremely proud in his heart. Until now, he is still like a dream, the Chen family was just a guerrilla general when he was the most victorious, but now it is a family and two marquis, and there are a few people in the entire Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that only the Xu family and the two dukes can be compared.

Compared with Chen Jianghe's excitement, Chen Yue was much calmer. This kind of title in troubled times is not as good as imagined, and the more troubled times are, the less valuable the title is. In another time and space, the four towns in Jiangbei were all earls and marquises, Huang Degong was even rewarded as a national duke later, Wang Zhiren Fang Guoan Huang Binqing, these little military power were not all named earls and marquis or even national dukes. In the Yongli period, the titles were even more proliferated, and Zheng Chenggong, Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang and others were even named the prince of the county!

Therefore, a marquis was not enough to make Chen Yue excited for a long time, he was more concerned about other things.

"Dad, Zhang Xiu'er, she?" Chen Yue couldn't help but ask, the scene he saw when he left the cabin made him suspicious.

"Zhang Xiu'er, she will be the imperial concubine in the future." Chen Jianghe smiled.

"Ahh Chen Yue's mouth opened wide, looking incredulous.

"What's so strange, Your Majesty was unwell when he first went to sea, seasick and vomited for many days, he was served by Xiu'er, and after a long time, he became His Majesty's person." Chen Jianghe glared at Chen Yue, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu used to say that he would promise Zhang Xiu'er to you, you have always been reluctant, rabbit cub, but now I feel uncomfortable when I see that people and the emperor are getting better, what did you do earlier?

"Hey, hey, hey," Chen Yue shook his head, and suddenly said, "Daddy, if you take Aunt Zhang in the future, won't you become Your Majesty's father-in-law?" So I am not His Majesty's brother-in-law, if I marry Princess Kunxing in the future and become His Majesty's son-in-law, this, what should I say about this generation? ”

"Ahh Chen Jianghe was dumbfounded, and the black lines on his head were scattered.

......

Early the next morning, Chongzhen got off the boat and went ashore, Chen Yue finally saw Princess Kunxing, standing pitifully behind Chongzhen, a pair of big eyes glancing at Chen Yue.

Due to the perennial siltation, the water level of the Yellow River is shallow and not enough to drive large boats. In fact, most of the water of the Yellow River now flows into Hongze Lake, and the old course of the Yellow River here is basically about to be abandoned.

After all, the ship was loaded with four or five hundred taels of silver, and there were nearly 100 tiger squat guns, and most of the belongings of the Xishan Army were loaded on the ship.

Considering the urgency of the situation, Chen Yue had no time to delay at all. Yang Zhengping, He Lu and others were left to be responsible for unloading the material baggage from the ship and slowly transporting it to Huai'an. As for these 100 sea vessels, they will stay in the sea of Miaowan for the time being, and make other arrangements when the situation settles down.

Chen Yue and Lu Zhenfei escorted Chongzhen back to Huai'an by land, stationed in Majesty Qingyan Garden, where King Fu lived not long ago, and Wu Mengming led the troops to guard it.

The scenery of the Yellow River, the sunset over the canal, and the scenic spots in Huai'an are very numerous, but Chongzhen has no intention of appreciating them at all, and as soon as he settles down, he immediately summons Chen Yue and Lu Zhenfei to discuss the matter, so that Chen Yue and Princess Kunxing have no chance to talk.

"Lu Qing, what is the situation?" Chongzhen looked at Lu Zhenfei with blazing eyes.

"Back to Your Majesty, a few days ago I sent several messengers to Pukou, Nanjing, and it stands to reason that the letter should have been delivered a long time ago, but for some reason there was no reply." Lu Zhenfei wondered.

"No news is news, it seems that some people don't want me to come to Nanjing!" Chongzhen said quietly.

"How is it possible, Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty, who would dare to do such a disobedient thing?" Lu Zhenfei exclaimed, but his voice became lower and lower.

It has been five days since he sent the messenger, and the messenger from Huai'an to Nanjing is fast enough to catch up with a round trip, but now he has never returned, which is enough to show that something has happened.

"Chen Yue, what do you think?" Chongzhen turned his face and asked Chen Yuedao.

"A little jumping off the beam is not to be feared, but Lord Lu can send letters to all provinces and roads in the name of the governor of Huaiyang, inform the world of the news of His Majesty's safe southern tour, and order the local officials of Jiangbei provinces to come to Huai'an to visit, Your Majesty is the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty, and will naturally be supported by officials all over the world." Chen Yue said.

Chongzhen himself is a symbol of the Ming Dynasty, as long as the news that he is still alive spreads, those troublemakers have to think about it, Chen Yue does not believe that they dare to risk the world's disapproval to continue to support King Fu.

"In the opinion of the minister, it is better for His Majesty to go to Nanjing as soon as possible." Lu Zhenfei thought for a while and said. An emperor will only have the majesty of the Son of Heaven in the national capital, and if King Fu is allowed to master the Nanjing court, it will be very troublesome. Now the news of King Fu's accession to the throne has not come, and the ministers in Nanjing are still hesitating, as long as Chongzhen appears in Nanjing, King Fu will never have a chance again.

"Lord Lu, what you said naturally makes sense, but don't forget, King Fu now has the support of Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing and others, and he has the army in his hands!" Chen Yue said with a solemn expression.

"Do they dare to kill the king?" Lu Zhenfei's eyes widened, and he said incredulously.

"For the sake of power, for the sake of glory and wealth, what dare they dare?" Chen Yue said softly, and Lu Zhenfei couldn't help but gasp.
