Nanjing is more than 800 miles away from Jiujiang, and it takes more than half a month to walk normally, and it takes more than 20 days to go upstream. However, if it takes 600 miles to send the news on a fast horse, it will only take two days.

The princess's secret letter to the Duke of Qi was very important, and Shen Lian sent several capable Jinyi guards to use the method of 600 miles of urgency, one person and two horses, changing horses without changing people, and traveling from Nanjing to Jiujiang day and night.

The south of the Yangtze River is prosperous, the land route from Nanjing to Jiujiang is also very smooth, the post stations everywhere are very complete, plus the messenger is the identity of Jinyiwei, and he holds the documents issued by the Ministry of War, no one dares to stop him along the way. When the angel sent by the imperial court to Chen Yue to order him to move to Wuchang was still halfway by speedboat, the secret envoy of the Jinyi guard had already entered Jiujiang City.

Chen Yue didn't dare to slack off after seeing the letter, and immediately convened his confidants to discuss the matter.

Lu Zhenfei, Gu Junen, Shan Minglei, Liu Neng and others were summoned to the study of Jingluo Mansion and ordered the guards to strictly guard outside the study and strictly prohibit anyone from entering.

"Qi Guogong, what's going on?" Lu Zhenfei asked first.

"See Brother Bai, take a look at this first," Chen Yue said and handed a letter to Lu Zhenfei, this letter was not the princess's hand call, but a private letter from Wang Yin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, mainly to introduce Chen Yue to the current situation in Nanjing, and sent it over with the princess's hand call.

Nanjing is eight or nine hundred miles away from Jiujiang, and according to the normal news transmission in this era, it will take more than ten days, if it were not for Wang Yin's order for Shen Lian to use the military department to transmit emergency military information in the form of six hundred miles of urgency, Jiujiang would have to go up for a few days if he wanted to know what happened in Nanjing. Although Chen Yue placed a lot of eyes and ears in the city of Nanjing, Jinyiwei would spread what happened to Jiujiang in time, but there would always be a delay in the transmission of news, and what happened in Nanjing would generally not be known until ten days later.

Lu Zhenfei picked up the letter paper and looked at it carefully, and his face suddenly became serious.

"What the hell is going on?" Shan Minglei asked, and Lu Zhenfei casually gave him the letterhead.

When everyone looked at the letter one by one, the atmosphere in the room was obviously solemn.

"The three princes were killed, His Majesty had a stroke after getting the news, and the three elders of the cabinet each elected a vassal king as the prince, and the court ceremony was about to select the prince. In order to prevent the Duke of Qi from interfering with the prince, the elders unanimously decided to let you move to Wuchang to pursue the thieves and recover Sichuan. I didn't expect so many things to happen in just a few days! Lu Zhenfei sighed.

Liu Neng looked at Chen Yue, and lowered his head after making eye contact with Chen Yue. The matter of the three princes was originally revealed to Dongchang by Jinyiwei, and he really expected to get rid of the pot of the three princes so as not to suspect Chen Yue in the future, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Chen Yue also felt a little guilty, you must know that it is like this, you should have sent someone back to pick up the third prince instead of the fake hand Dongchang in the first place, it was still not well considered!

"If you want us to move to Wuchang and go far, the idea of the cabinet princes is too fine!" Shan Minglei sneered.

"The matter of choosing the crown prince has always been agreed by the imperial court, and the generals have no right to interfere, this is a common practice and the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and there is nothing wrong with the old ministers." Lu Zhenfei said casually.

"Lord Lu, so you support the cabinet?" Shan Minglei asked with a sneer.

Lu Zhenfei was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly looked over, and saw that most of the people in the room were dissatisfied, even Chen Yue also looked at him without blinking.

"I'm just talking about convention, I'm not a cabinet elder myself, how can I still support the cabinet. Now I'm just a staff member under the tent of the Jingluo Mansion, and of course everything is headed by the Gong Ma of Qi State. ”

As a governor and a cabinet governor, Lu Zhenfei's political sense naturally exists, and he knows that if he doesn't express his position, he will be expelled from the core of the Jingluo Mansion in the future. The failure of the Northern Expedition made him a guilty body, without Chen Yue's protection, there would be no one who would have come out in this life, in this sense, he is Chen Yue's person. Lu Zhenfei naturally admires Chen Yue, and he is also willing to assist Chen Yue to become a generation of famous ministers of the Ming Dynasty. But he was afraid that Chen Yue would make a mistake and do something out of line.

For Lu Zhenfei, Chen Yue also knows a lot, this person is extraordinary, and he is also loyal to Daming, so his current statement is very rare.

"Mr. Gu, what do you think?" Chen Yue looked at Gu Junen, who had been silent.

"The matter of moving to Wuchang is absolutely undesirable," Gu Junen said categorically, "For you, the Duke of the Kingdom, if you obey the orders of the imperial court this time, you will no longer be able to enter the center in the future, and you can only become a killing tool for the cabinet princes, and frequently appear on the battlefield of exterminating the thieves and the Manchurian Tartars." ”

"The world is in turmoil, thieves are raging, foreign enemies and internal criminals, and the territory of the Ming Dynasty is lost, all of which are inseparable from the civil officials of the imperial court. If they are allowed to hold power again, there will be no hope for the Ming Dynasty!

At this time of turmoil in the imperial court, you should decisively leave Jiujiang, return to Nanjing, control the authority of the imperial court, establish a new emperor, or stand on your own, in short, you must hold the power in your hands, and strive to change, so that there is hope in the world! ”

Gu Junen's words were very direct, and it was as easy as drinking water to say the rebellion, and Lu Zhenfei, who listened directly, was terrified. In the Jiujiang Army these days, Lu Zhenfei has long been aware that there is such a group of people in Chen Yue's army, and there is only Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi in his eyes, and he never looks at the court in his eyes.

"Mr. Gu said carefully, what do you say to be self-reliant, and my father is not a chaotic minister and thief!" Chen Yue scolded Gu Junen indifferently, which made him shut up.

"My Chen family has been a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty for generations, and my father died on the battlefield of the war for the country.

However, it is time to change the situation of the Ming Dynasty, a group of civil officials who hold their own morality hold the authority, but they are all dirty and dirty deeds, and they only have themselves and no country in their eyes, and this Ming Dynasty makes them a miasma. If this continues, even if this father fights more battles, this Ming Dynasty will one day be finished, and Huaxia will fall into ruin.

Returning to Nanjing, snatching power from the hands of these filthy officials, letting the country develop according to our ideas, implementing reform and change, and letting my Ming Dynasty reappear in a prosperous era, this is what we should do! ”

Listening to Chen Yue's sonorous words, the eyes of everyone present showed excitement, how long they had waited, how long they had been aggrieved, and finally got this opportunity!

Lu Zhenfei was also a little encouraged and a little excited, if Chen Yue was regent, he would definitely be reused, and his full talent would have room to play. However, he still has concerns.

"If you don't return to Beijing to seek rebellion, I'm afraid it will damage your reputation as the Duke of Qi!"

Lu Zhenfei sighed, the so-called name is right, if Chen Yue leads the troops back to Beijing like this, in the eyes of the people of the world, there is no doubt that he is rebellious, and his reputation is too bad.

"If you can make a comeback of the Ming Dynasty, a little fame is nothing!" Chen Yue smiled mysteriously, "Moreover, who said that I didn't have the name of returning to Beijing?" ”
