Chen Jianghe, the Marquis of Zhongyi, was posthumously named Zhongguo Gong, with the posthumous title of "Zhongwu".
The next most important thing for the court was to arrange his funeral.
Unexpectedly, Pingnan Marquis Chen Yue wrote a letter saying that his father left a last word during his lifetime and wished to be buried in the Facing the sea, where spring flowers bloom, Chen Yue asked the court to find a suitable place on the coast of Zhejiang to bury the loyal Duke Chen Jianghe.
"Facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming, Duke Zhongguo really knows how to choose a place," University Scholar Qian Qianyi said in praise.
"Zhongguo Gong is just a warrior.
How could he come up with the words "facing the sea and blooming flowers in spring"?
It must have been Marquis Pingnan's idea.
There are many mountains outside Nanjing, and most of them are Feng Shui treasures with mountains and rivers behind them.
My father was buried outside the city of Nanjing, but he had to go to a remote beach.
I don’t know what Ping Nanhou had in mind.”
Wang Duo, the recent Dongge University Scholar, shook his head and asked in question.
The second assistant Lu Zhenfei went to Wuhu to supervise the division and command the army to encircle and suppress the 20,000 remaining Eight Banners wandering south of the Yangtze River.
Shi Kefa and Qian Qianyi were the only two people left in the cabinet who could not handle the complicated court affairs.
Therefore, with the approval of the ministers, Chongzhen was recommended as the replacement.
Wang Duo entered the cabinet.
Wang Duo was one of the many veteran ministers who came south from Beijing.
He had served as the Minister of Rites in Beijing.
His seniority was far above that of the ministers in Nanjing, so it was natural for him to be elected to the cabinet.
After listening to Wang Duo's words, Shi Kefa and Qian Qianyi were silent.
Isn't it obvious what their intentions were?
As soon as the news of Chen Yue's father's death came, the imperial court hurriedly dispatched Superintendent Lu Zhenfei to replace Chen Yue's command.
The army didn't even listen to Chen Yue's suggestions.
People used this excuse to complain and stay away from the court.
"Are we sure of Ping Nanhou's request or not?"
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Wang Duo asked again.
For major affairs of the imperial court, the cabinet has always come up with the idea and then asks the emperor for approval.
"Accurate, of course it must be accurate.
Is there any reason not to be accurate?"
Shi Kefa felt disappointed.
He originally thought that Chen Yue would not be willing to hand over military power and would resort to revenge.
At present, the Manchu Tatars have not been destroyed, and their remnants are still running around in the south of the Yangtze River.
There are remnants of bandits in Huguang, and the bandits in Sichuan are attacking cities and plundering territory.
They have defeated two Qing armies and won consecutive victories.
Both in the court and among the people there are people who want to launch a northern expedition to regain the old lands.
A warm cry.
As the governor of Jiangbei and the commander-in-chief of the Pingnan Army, Chen Yue had absolutely every reason to seize the opportunity and continue to hold military power, but the people in the world could not say anything.
As the chief minister of the cabinet, from the perspective of state affairs, Shi Kefa did not want Chen Yuezhen to observe mourning for three years, because there were still too many wars that required the command of the first military general of the Ming Dynasty.
But from the perspective of etiquette, failure to observe filial piety after the death of one's father is unfilial, which is the biggest stain in life.
Shi Kefa was born in Qingliu and had extremely high moral requirements.
Therefore, Shi Kefa was very hesitant about whether Chen Yue should regain his love.
However, now Chen Yue wants to bury his father on the coast of Zhejiang Province.
This is obviously a filial piety, and he will definitely resign from office and observe filial piety.
Moreover, Chen Yue could not ignore his filial piety under the pretext of complying with his loyal wishes.
There is no such reason for the Ming Dynasty to govern the country with filial piety.
Shi Kefa, the first assistant academician, was right.

Qian Qianyi and Wang Duo didn't say much.
They quickly signed and stamped Chen Yue's memorandum, and then sent it to the inner palace by the Secretary of General Affairs and handed it over to Chongzhen for inspection.
"What are you doing here to show off your skills?
Are you trying to avoid the court and me?"
After seeing this memorial, Chongzhen was angry.
He didn't believe a word of Chen Jianghe's last words or that spring flowers were blooming and facing the sea.
According to the report of the Dongchang spy stationed in Wuhu, Chen Jianghe did not leave any last words before his death. , are all Chen Yue’s excuses.
"With so many wars going on right now, the army must not be without a commander for a day.
Manchus, invaders, and thieves will not wait for him.
Chen Yue has a funeral.
I just sent Lu Zhenfei to temporarily command the army in his place, but he openly abandoned it.
A challenge has arisen” Chongzhen threw the memorial to the ground and said angrily.
Han Zanzhou lowered his eyebrows and said nothing.
He walked forward gently, bent down and picked up the memorial from the ground.
"Tell me, is he complaining to me, does he think I want to reduce his military power?"
Chongzhen walked up to Han Zanzhou and asked, looking closely at him.
"Your Majesty, maybe Duke Zhongguo had such last words before his death."
Han Zanzhou had to answer, "In the past few years, Marquis Pingnan has been fighting endlessly, and he has been overworked for the country.
In addition, his father has passed away, so he must be mentally and physically exhausted.
It is normal to want to cultivate for a while.
Besides, although there are many wars at present, it is not necessary for Ping Nanhou to do so.
Mr.
Lu is proficient in military tactics and strategy, which is enough to be qualified for the position of governor.
He is assisted by He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, and others, and driven by generals such as Jin Shenghuan and Zheng Sen.
He is enough to cope with the situation.
The current chaos.
Your Majesty, you can't just point at Ping Nanhou. " You always think about checks and balances, and are always afraid that someone else's military power will endanger the court.
Now that they have taken the initiative to hand over their military power, you are like this.
Chongzhen's behavior left Han Zanzhou speechless.
He can only imply that Chongzhen is now the one who checks and balances the Pingnan Army.
Good timing.
Even though Han Zanzhou was Chongzhen's confidant, he actually did not understand Chongzhen's complicated thoughts and his views and feelings towards Chen Yue.
For Chen Yue, Chongzhen was grateful and appreciative but also fearful.
Chongzhen was very grateful for the countless contributions Chen Yue had made.
Without Chen Yue, he would have died in the palace in Beijing, and the Ming Dynasty would certainly not have existed.
However, as Chen Yue made more and more contributions and gained more and more military power, Chongzhen gradually became wary.
He was afraid that Chen Yue would endanger the imperial power, so Chongzhen ordered the placement of factory guards inside the Pingnan Army to monitor Pingnan.
There was movement in the Southern Army, so Chongzhen established the Beijing camp to support Zheng Sen, and supported Li Guoying through Han Zan, Zhou Fang and Mingxia, in an attempt to establish a check and balance.
But now Chen Yue surrendered the army so easily, and even wanted to stay away from the court in order to show his innocence.
In this way, Chongzhen felt a little ashamed of his past thoughts, and then became angry from shame, and his anger was just to cover up.
Regarding Han Zanzhou's words, Chongzhen naturally understood that now was the best time to take control of the Pingnan Army.
When Chen Yue carried the coffin back to Beijing, he only brought more than 3,000 personal guards to escort him.
Most of the Pingnan Army stayed in Wuhu and followed Lu Zhenfei's command.
By awarding official positions, drawing in divisions, and reorganizing, it may not take long to turn the Pingnan Army from Chen Yue's private army into the imperial army.
What he has always wanted to do can be easily achieved, so Chongzhen was angry and continued to do whatever he had to do.

Between world affairs and personal feelings, Chongzhen naturally knew how to choose.
From the moment he ascended the throne and sat on the dragon throne, Chongzhen only had the Ming Dynasty in his heart, and only the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers passed down from his ancestors.
Chongzhen picked up the memorial again and read it aside.
He picked up the ink pen and wrote a big word "quasi" on it
