Every morning on March 9th is the most annoying day for Chen Yue, because he has to get up early before dawn, change into his python robe and jade belt, and go to the palace.
Chongzhen was as diligent as ever, and all matters in the court, big and small, had to be handled by the court, but most of the things had nothing to do with Chen Yue.
He is now only the commander-in-chief of the Pingnan Army.
Although he has the position of governor of Jiangbei, he has not yet taken up his new post.
The atmosphere in Nanjing's court was much better than that in Beijing.
At least there were not so many quarrels.
Most of the gentlemen of the Manchu Dynasty were brave enough to serve, and for some unknown reason, after Chongzhen appointed Liu Ke to Shizhong, he did not appoint too many censors.
Most of the censors of the Thirteen Roads were vacant, which led to the failure of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Two or three big-haired kittens.
Without so many censors and censors, there were a lot less wrangling.
Both Shi Kefa and Lu Zhenfei are brave enough to take charge of their affairs.
Although Qian Qianyi likes to fight for power and gain, he is not bad at doing things.
In addition, the court is newly established and conflicts have not yet arisen.
Therefore, in addition to the trial of treason, the court also Considered harmonious.
There have been a lot of things going on in the court recently.
The war between the Manchu Tatars and the invaders in the north has been decided.
The invaders retreated to Shaanxi and gave up Hebei Province to the Mantars.
In Sichuan, Zhang Xianzhong's bandit army was advancing with great success, Chengdu had fallen, and a large area of land in central Shu fell into the hands of the Xian bandits.
It was reported that the Xian bandits ascended the throne in Chengdu and proclaimed themselves emperor, establishing a pseudo-state named "Daxi".
Local officials in Sichuan sent reports to Nanjing several times, requesting that troops be sent to encircle and suppress the Xian bandits.
After discussion by the imperial court, it was ordered that Huguang Governor He Tengjiao and bandit general Zuo Liangyu jointly send troops to Sichuan to suppress bandits.
However, He Tengjiao's troops were limited.
Although Zuo Liangyu had an army of 200,000 men, he was used to being domineering and it was unclear whether he would obey the court's orders or not.
Fortunately, nearly 10 million taels of gold and silver were confiscated during this inspection.
Now that the national treasury was strong, Chongzhen ordered to allocate 500,000 military pay to Zuo Liangyu and ordered him to send troops westward along the Yangtze River.
Various affairs were handled one by one.
It was best when the dynasty was about to leave, and suddenly an imperial censor came forward to impeach Chen Yue, the Marquis of Pingnan.
Only then did Chen Yue cheer up and listen carefully.
"The criminal investigation department investigated Shen Chenquan, impeached Pingnan Marquis Chen Yue, and wandered around brothels to seize courtesans and singers and beat up scholars."
The censor named Shen Chenquan knelt down in front of the steps and presented the impeachment memorial with both hands.
The great eunuch Han Zanzhou took the memorial from his hand and handed it to Chongzhen respectfully.
Chongzhen glared at Chen Yue fiercely, "Boy, wait until you think that this guy is thinking about his precious daughter and dares to go to a place like a brothel."
Chongzhen felt that he was so angry that he wanted to kill Chen Yue.
Shen Chenquan recounted Chen Yue's behavior that day, focusing on the fact that Chen Yue sent people to beat Fang Mingxia, which resulted in the student Fang Mingxia being seriously injured.
"Marquis Pingnan, with his dignity as a marquis, has done something that insults the dignity of the ministers.
Your Majesty, please punish him severely according to the law," Shen Chenquan said at the end.
"Marquis Pingnan, do you know your guilt?"
Chongzhen put down the memorial and asked coldly.
Chen Yue walked out of the class and said proudly: "This is pure slander.
I have never done anything like that.
I don't even know where it is."
"Hou Pingnan, that day you went to Meixiang Tower with Hou Ning, and personally beat the court official Fang Mingxia for the royal court Kou Baimen's grooming rights.
There are many witnesses to this matter.
Do you dare not "Acknowledge" Shen Chenquan pointed at Chen Yue and said angrily.
"Who are you?

How dare you question me?"
Chen Yue was also angry.
"I was invited to the banquet by Marquis Fu Ning.
So what?
The name of the place is Xia Fang and Qiu.
What can I do if I beat you?"
"You, you, you, you are so rampant."
Shen Chenquan pointed at Chen Yue and was so angry that he could hardly speak.
According to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how big an official was, even if he was the chief minister of the dynasty, he would be impeached by the censor.
He took the initiative to resign, how could he have such an arrogant attitude?
"Ahem," with a cough, Cifu Lu Zhenfei stepped forward, "Your Majesty, the dispute between Marquis Pingnan and the minister is just a trivial matter.
It seems that there is no need to bring it to court."
From Lu Zhenfei's point of view, Chen Yue beating up a prostitute was just a trivial matter, and going to a brothel was nothing.
It would be unseemly to bring this kind of thing to the court, and it would also be a waste of everyone's precious time.
"Master Cifu, how can this be a trivial matter?"
Shen Chenquan said angrily, "Marquis Pingnan is so domineering and domineering with the dignity of a marquis that he does not cultivate any virtue and beats the living people.
If he doesn't deal with it, who knows that he will not take human lives and poison the living beings in the future?"
"Mom, how dare you curse me?"
Chen Yue was furious, raised his fist and pushed forward, "I'll let you have a taste of what it means to kill a human being."
"That's enough."
Chongzhen picked up the paperweight and slapped it hard on the dragon case, making a loud noise.
"What kind of place do you think this is?
Someone is acting so wildly, so let me take him out."
Two imperial guards came forward, grabbed Chen Yue's arm without any reason, and dragged him out of the palace.
"Your Majesty, you can't do this to me.
I have shed blood for Ming Dynasty, and I have been injured for your Majesty."
Chen Yue struggled and was dragged further and further away.
Wang Yin covered his face, feeling ashamed.
This performance by the Marquis was really poor.
"Okay, okay, we're all outside the palace, let me go quickly."
Chen Yue said impatiently.
The two guards quickly let go of his arms and stepped forward with a smile to help Chen Yue smooth the wrinkled python robe.
"How about you two boys becoming imperial guards in the palace?"
Chen Yue asked with a smile while standing at the foot of the stairs.
"Back to the Marquis, it's quite relaxing and majestic.
But it's a bit boring."
A guard said with a smile.
"Master Marquis, I still want to return to our Pingnan Army.
It's more fun to fight on the battlefield."
Another guard also said.
"You two boys are so blessed," Chen Yue scolded with a smile.
Chen Yue's arrogance in the court aroused the indignation of the officials.
During the incident, Xiong Rulin went out to impeach Chen Yue for false accusations of treason.
He used the excuse of arresting traitors to arrest gentry at will, and framed charges of occupying other people's property.
Qiao Ke, the imperial censor, impeached Chen Yue and seized the bank store that was privately owned by the Duke of Wei and seized for corruption.

For a time, people were excited, and the whole court was impeaching Chen Yue.
The second assistant, Lu Zhenfei, wanted to defend Chen Yue, but didn't know how to express it.
The first assistant, Shi Kefa, remained silent because many of the censors who impeached Chen Yue were his party members.
Finally, Qian Qianyi stood up and said that although Chen Yue was wrong, his contribution was also great.
In addition, it was the time when the country was employing people.
A good general like Chen Yue could not be punished easily.
The merits and demerits could be balanced.
He chose a day to leave Nanjing and go to Yangzhou to take office.
Wang Yin, the Minister of Household Affairs, came out of the squad.
Chen Yue had made such great achievements, but he was punished for a small mistake, fearing to hurt the heart of the meritorious officials.
So after discussion, it was decided to take out the confiscated noble land and reward it to the soldiers who had made meritorious service, and to give the Wei Guogong Palace to Chen Yue and change it to Pingnan Marquis Palace to show the intention of rewarding the meritorious officials.
Every officer and soldier in Pingnan's army who performed meritorious service were given heavy rewards, and were promoted and rewarded with silver according to their merits.
As for Chen Yue, he was no longer promoted to a title, and was appointed governor of Jiangbei with the title of Marquis of Pingnan
