Seeing Shan Minglei's certainty, Wu Ping was doubtful.
A treasonous move seemed to end in an anticlimactic manner.
After Wu Ping received a beating, the other generals did not even dare to say a word, and were then driven to their respective posts by Chen Yue.
A secret turmoil calmed down, and on the surface it seemed calm and nothing happened.
But only a few people know what impact this incident will have and what the long-term consequences will be.
Outside the Yongding Gate, Shan Minglei, the governor of Shandong, and Gu Junen, the governor of North Zhili, left the capital and returned to their respective places.
They paused for a moment at Shili Pavilion outside the city gate.
The rest of the people were driven far away, and the two of them drank tea and talked.
"Brother Shi Jian, I'm afraid the prince is very angry this time.
You are too bold this time."
Gu Junen said with a bitter smile.
Shan Minglei said: "The prince's character is too sentimental.
If no one pushes him, he will not take that step.
But there are so many people in King Qi's family, and the future of hundreds of thousands of soldiers are all on King Qi.
If If the King of Qi continues like this, the future of our brother will be bleak.
I am afraid that the King of Qi will not end well.
Since ancient times, no powerful minister has ever had a good end.
King Qi has great power and great contributions.
There are few powerful ministers from ancient times to the present who can compare with him.
Therefore, I am not only thinking about my personal future, but also thinking about King Qi, and King Qi also knows this well. " "Brother Shi Jian's actions make Jun En ashamed."
Gu Junen clasped his fists and bowed his head, his face full of admiration.
Shan Minglei said: "The chess has been played, and the next step depends on the court's reaction.
With the character of our Majesty, when faced with this situation, he will definitely be furious and take action.
Only if your Majesty and the court take action first, the prince will not be known as a rebellious minister and a traitor.
There is a huge difference between being forced to rebel and actively rebelling, and he will be able to win the sympathy of the people all over the world.
Brother Jun En, when we return to our respective bases, we must actively make preparations to control the territory in various places, and strive to make the hearts and minds of the people and the army be with the prince. " Gu Junen nodded and replied: "I would like to attach the tail wing to Brother Shi Jian."
"Brother Jun En is too humble.
We brothers will work together to help King Qi achieve great things."
Shan Minglei laughed, his laughter full of satisfaction.
When it comes to politics, Shan Minglei knows that he is not as good as Qian Fengling, and not as good as Gu Junen when it comes to military strategy, so he has been holding back his desire to make great achievements and consolidate his position in the line of King Qi.
Now he has finally taken the lead in supporting the King of Qi.
The greatest achievement is to support him.
When King Qi ascends the throne, he will surely surpass Gu Junen and Qian Fenglin and rank first among civil servants.
Seeing Shan Minglei's proud look, Gu Junen sighed in his heart.
Gu Junen served as a high-ranking official in Li Zicheng's Dashun court, such as the minister of government, and experienced the overt and covert struggles within the Shun court.
But now, Shan Minglei's face is so similar to that of Niu Jinxing, who only knows how to flatter, and Song Xiance, who got lucky with his prophecy skills.
No matter which dynasty or generation you belong to, there are always people like this who play tricks.
However, Gu Junen believed that Chen Yue was not Li Zicheng and could clearly see which ones were Machiavellian and which ones were real talents.
After a conversation, the two parted ways and went their separate ways.
In the following time, Chen Yue quickly announced the rewards for the meritorious soldiers.
According to the statistical results of the Zhenfu Division, and after confirmation by officers and soldiers at all levels, the meritorious service status of all soldiers was finally counted, and rewards were awarded according to the size of the merit.
A large amount of wealth was seized during the pursuit of Man Tie.
This wealth was equivalent to millions of taels of silver, which was used for this reward.
However, after discussion, Chen Yue gave the soldiers two reward options, either receiving silver rewards or converting the reward silver into fields.
The Manchus fled in a hurry, but they could not take away the fields occupied by the Manchus.

There are millions of acres of such fields in various prefectures and counties in Gyeonggi Province.
The original owners of these lands no longer exist.
In addition to giving some to the tenant farmers, a large amount of land is in Chen Yue's hands, which can be used to reward soldiers who have performed meritorious services, thus saving a large amount of silver reward.
For the Han people, what they like most is land, and there is nothing more joyful than obtaining land.
Dozens or hundreds of acres of fields are an inheritance that can be passed down to future generations.
Compared with the fields, what is the money that will be lost after being spent?
Therefore, basically most soldiers hope to obtain land, which makes everyone in the Dudu Mansion very happy, so that a large amount of money saved can be used in other places.
Chen Yue, as the Grand Governor, was able to decide on his own regarding rewards for ordinary officers and soldiers, but rewards for generals who had made great achievements had to be reported to the court.
Chen Yue had already written the memorial and sent it to the court to ask for rewards for the meritorious service of the soldiers.
However, Chen Yue knew that this reward might not be available for a while, because Nanjing was experiencing a turbulent undercurrent at this time.
Although he was far away from Nanjing, there were Liu Neng's Jin Yiwei, and the situation in Nanjing was constantly reported, and Chen Yue knew the situation there clearly.
The biggest thing in Nanjing now is that Emperor Chongzhen's health has improved and he can walk and talk.
In the city of Nanjing, news came one after another that the Northern Expeditionary Army had won a great victory, recaptured Beijing, driven away the Manchus, restored the Ningjin Defense Line, and occupied all the land in western Liaoning.
The whole capital was in a state of excitement.
For many years, they had failed one after another against the rebels in the north.
How could they be as proud as they are today?
What made the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty even more happy was that, inspired by the great victory, Emperor Chongzhen's body miraculously improved.
This miserable emperor once lost his capital and was forced to flee southward by the traitors and the Manchus.
His land was lost, the mountains and rivers were broken, and the dynasty was on the verge of destruction.
He failed again and again, and was in turmoil again and again, and he himself suffered a stroke and was in a coma for a long time.
However, just when he suffered a stroke and fell into coma, the situation in the Ming Dynasty turned around miraculously.
The princess supervised the country and the King of Qi went on the Northern Expedition.
It only took half a year to defeat the Eight Banners soldiers and force the Manchu court to escape hastily.
After several battles, as many as 50,000 to 60,000 fierce Eight Banners soldiers were killed, leaving the Manchus with almost no soldiers left to fight again.
Countless Manchus were killed on the way to escape.
The Manchus, who had pushed the Ming Dynasty to the brink of annihilation for thirty years, were no longer a threat.
The situation has changed so quickly.
The Ming Dynasty was still in turmoil a moment ago, but now the situation is so good.
Although there are still Shun Zei and Xi Zei who have not yet been defeated, the powerful Manchu has been defeated.
Is the defeat of Shun Zei and Xi Zei still far away?
The situation in the Ming Dynasty has completely improved from the destruction of the country.
All this was completed when Chongzhen suffered a stroke.
Originally, many ministers of the court and the military and civilians had doubts about the princess supervising the country.
After all, it was not appropriate for a woman to supervise the country.
With the victory, this doubt did not disappear.
Now that Chongzhen has woken up, many people's minds have become more flexible.
Now that Chongzhen has awakened, there is no need for Princess Kunxing to supervise the country.
Should the monarchy be returned to Emperor Chongzhen and his daughter?
Will there be conflicts over power?
How will King Qi, who is far away in Beijing, react?
Will the situation in Ming Dynasty be affected by Emperor Chongzhen's actions?
Health improves and makes waves Many courtiers were worried, but Princess Kunxing didn't think so much.
She was filled with joy Chen Yue defeated Manta, regained his old land, and drove Manta back to the outside world.
His father's body also recovered and he could speak.
Good things came one after another, making Princess Kunxing smile every day.

After dealing with state affairs every day, she would stay by her father's side and talk to him, as if she could never have enough of him.
"Father, Chen Yue reported the overall results to the court.
During the half-year Northern Expedition, a total of 63,200 Eight Banners soldiers were killed.
The number was strictly verified and there was no falsehood.
In addition, in the pursuit of the Manchu people, a total of 63,200 people were killed.
More than 230,000 Manchu women and children were captured and killed.
According to Chen Yue's estimate, less than half of the Manchus successfully escaped outside the pass.
Father, Manta will no longer be a threat to the Ming Dynasty. " Princess Kunxing read Chen Yue's memorial with a smile on her face, and then asked Chongzhen for advice on how to review it and how to deal with Chen Yue's request for credit for his subordinates.
Chongzhen was lying on the imperial collapse, listening to Kun Xing's words with a smile, but his heart was extremely depressed and unspeakable.
Logically speaking, Chongzhen should be happy to hear the successive good news.
But Chongzhen was not happy at all.
Expelling the Mantars and regaining the old land has been his wish since he went south, and it is his hope to endure humiliation and survive.
The country was lost from his hands, and he must take it back, so that Jiuquanxia can have the face to meet the previous emperors.
But now, all this happened when he was in a coma due to a stroke, when his daughter was in charge of the country, and when Chen Yue led his army to win the Northern Expedition, all of this had nothing to do with him.
Chongzhen can imagine what kind of reputation he will have in the future history.
He was stupid and incompetent, and almost became the king of the country.
I am afraid that his evaluation in history is not as good as that of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.
After all, Tang Xuanzong still had the prosperous Kaiyuan era, but since he ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty has been declining day by day.
After all, Li Longji has a son to take charge of the country, but he relies on his daughter.
But how can a daughter take over the world and become the king of a country?
Chongzhen is not jealous of his daughter.
Kunxing is his favorite daughter.
How could he be jealous of her?
Chongzhen is just worried about the future of Ming Dynasty.
Because Chongzhen has figured out that the reason why Kun Xing was able to become the supervisor was entirely because of Chen Yue's full support behind him.
It was Chen Yue who used powerful force to force the court, broke the thousands of years of rules, and pushed a woman to the throne of supervising the country.
This made Chongzhen extremely suspicious of Chen Yue's intentions.
Since ancient times, only men can be emperors.
This has been the rule for thousands of years.
Even if Kunxing is Chongzhen's daughter, even if the love between father and daughter is deep, if Chongzhen is asked to choose his successor, he will never choose his daughter Princess Kunxing.
Because although Chongzhen is the father of Kunxing, he is also the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
It is his responsibility to pass on the Ming Dynasty.
The throne can only be filled by the descendants of the Zhu family.
Why did Chen Yue recommend his daughter to be the prisoner?
He was just using his relationship with Princess Kunxing to use her as a puppet.
When the time comes, the throne will definitely be taken away from Kun Xing.
This is what Chongzhen has in mind, an extremely firm idea Before he fell ill, he was barely able to control Chen Yue so that he did not dare to have any objections.
However, if his daughter was no match for Chen Yue, she might be coaxed by that guy and happily offer the throne to her.
Fortunately, God has eyes and the past emperors have blessed me, so I woke up at this time, and everything is still possible.
Regarding Chen Yue, Chongzhen's thoughts were extremely complicated.
In the past, even if Chen Yue did too many outrageous things, Chongzhen never doubted his loyalty, and never thought that he would conspire or rebel.
Because of the relationship between the two parties, and because Chen Yue and his son had contributed so much to the many things Chongzhen had done, he had always regarded Chen Yue as his most trusted minister.
Even if they were suppressed several times, it was only for the sake of checks and balances and for the sake of the friendship between the monarch and his ministers.
It was not that Chongzhen doubted Chen Yue's loyalty.
Power needs to be checked and balanced so that ministers will not have other thoughts.

This is the imperial skill that an emperor should have.
The result of the power imbalance is what it is now.
His stroke and coma made Chen Yue no longer controllable, allowing his power to expand without limit.
Princess Kunxing was ignorant and blindly trusting, Shi Kefa and others were incompetent and compromised, and actually canonized Chen Yue as a prince of the opposite sex, which further fueled his ambition.
Now that Chen Yue has made such a great contribution, he can only confer no title or reward, so the emperor can only The throne is offered with both hands.
Therefore, when Princess Kunxing read Chen Yue's memorial happily, Chongzhen had a smile on his face, but his heart was full of urgency and sadness.
Now that Chen Yue has made great achievements in expelling the Manchus and regaining the old land, his reputation is unparalleled for a while, and he may not have much time left for him.
My silly daughter, why can’t you recognize Chen Yue’s face?
The country passed down by Taizu, the two hundred and seventy years of Ming Dynasty, will soon be ruined in your hands.
"Father, I have finished reading King Qi's memorial.
This is the list of meritorious soldiers.
How do you think you should review it?"
Princess Kunxing asked with a smile.
"According to the usual practice, the cabinet, together with the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War, will first work out the reward, and then approve it and stamp it.
My daughter, you are the supervisor of the country now, so you should come up with the idea.
There is no need to ask my father."
Chongzhen said with a smile.
"Father, my son's role as a prisoner is just to catch a duck.
Besides, how can my daughter's family be a prisoner?
However, father, you were ill at the time, and my daughter was afraid that the country would fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, so she reluctantly agreed.
It's to protect the country for your father.
Now that your father has awakened and your body has recovered, there is no point in the existence of your daughter's prison state."
Princess Kunxing explained quickly, she was afraid that her father would have other ideas.
Chongzhen looked at his daughter steadily.
What he saw in his eyes was frankness, attachment to himself, and the fear of being angry.
His heart softened and he stretched out his hands to his daughter.
"Father," Princess Kunxing threw herself into Chongzhen's arms and cried softly, tears streaming from her eyes.
For many days, watching her father lying on the bed, her heart was filled with despair.
For many days, she prayed to the gods and Buddhas in the sky to help her father get better.
For this, she was willing to pay any price.
Today, her father finally woke up and his illness finally improved, which made her feel extremely excited.
With my father here, I still have relatives in this world, and all the suffering is worth it.
Compared with the improvement of my father's condition, what does the position of a prison princess mean?
Chongzhen held his daughter in his arms, and his heart was filled with tenderness at this moment.
During the Beijing Incident, the queen committed suicide, Princess Zhaoren was killed by herself, and the three princes also died in the rebellion.
For several years, only Kun Xing and himself depended on each other.
However, he was not only the father of Kun Xing, but also the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
He also had to bear the responsibility of the emperor, and he could not escape Chongzhen's expression.
"My father is still very weak now.
My daughter, you will handle state affairs on my father's behalf first, and we will wait until my father's health gets better."
Chongzhen said calmly
