For the current imperial court, the establishment of the reserve is the biggest thing. Originally, when the war in Jiujiang was in full swing, the ministers of the DPRK and China were still worried that once the war was unfavorable, the Ming Dynasty would be in danger of overturning, and if the Ming Dynasty was finished, what was the use of establishing a reserve, so some time ago, although there were often ministers who discussed the establishment of the reserve, for the court, the war with the Western Thieves was a more noteworthy thing.

And now, the main force of 500,000 Western thieves has been defeated, and Qi Guogong is commanding the army to march forward and beat the water dogs. What's more, Emperor Chongzhen suffered a stroke and was critically ill, and the establishment of the prince was even more imminent.

The differences between the three cabinet elders on the matter of establishing the prince have been spread, and the ministers are even more discussing, and the officials in the six yamen departments are discussing this matter all day long, that is, they have no intention of even doing the original work. The three elders all have their own supporters, and they have also begun to connect at this moment, hoping to win more support.

The emperor was too ill to serve on the council, and all affairs were left to the cabinet. The three cabinet elders have their own responsibilities, and now they are all busy with the axis, after all, other officials can neglect the government, but they don't dare, because the cabinet is the center of the Ming Dynasty, and if the matter is not dealt with in time, there will be chaos below.

And as the first assistant and in charge of the military department, Shi Kefa, the burden on his body is greater, and now there are frequent wars in Jiangxi and Huguang, and a large number of recitals are delivered to him every day for approval.

"Yuan Fu, there is a note written by Qi Guogong himself, which needs to be reviewed by you." Li Qi, a member of the Zhongshu House, was responsible for sorting out the notes sent by the General Administration, and then handed them over to Shi Kefa according to their priorities, and when he saw one of them, his expression immediately changed, and he hurriedly took it to Shi Kefa.

Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi, is in charge of the civil affairs of the five provinces, and his performance is very important, and no one dares to despise the delay.

Shi Kefa hurriedly put down the paperwork in hand, took it and looked at it carefully, but it was Chen Yue who reported to the imperial court that the thieves in Jiangxi were basically exterminated, and the capital Nanchang had been recovered.

Soldier Yan Yingyuan? Shi Kefa frowned, he didn't have such a person in his impression at all, when did the imperial court appoint such a soldier? Although Chen Yue listed Yan Yingyuan's military exploits in the recital, he didn't even understand how he, the head of the cabinet, could entrust this person to such an important position as governor?

"Before the Duke of Qi sent troops to suppress the bandits, the imperial court gave him some blank letters of appointment, and he could appoint some officials below the fifth grade, and he only needed to report to the Ministry of War. Maybe this Yan Yingyuan was temporarily appointed by the Duke of Qi Guo, and he will have to report it in the future. Li Qi said softly.

At that time, Zhang Xianzhong led hundreds of thousands of troops down the river, Huguang and Jiangxi all fell, and the situation was really critical.

However, officials below the fifth grade are just that, and now Chen Yue actually wants to recommend a candidate for the governor of Jiangxi, the governor of Jiangxi is the governor of a province, how can he ignore it!

"Come on, go and ask Wang Yin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, to come over, and this pavilion wants to ask about this Yan Yingyuan." Shi Kefa commanded.

Big things are handled by the cabinet, but ordinary war and military situations are reported to the Ministry of War, and Wang Yin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, should know about Yan Yingyuan's affairs.

......

In the Qianqing Palace, Concubine Zhang Xiu'er was feeding Chongzhen porridge, scooping up the rice porridge in the jade bowl with a silver spoon, blowing it carefully for a while, and then feeding it to Chongzhen's mouth after it was cold. Chongzhen was still unconscious, and a spoonful of porridge often had half a spoon overflowing from the corner of his mouth, so Zhang Xiuer would put down the bowl, take out the Jinpa, and wipe it carefully.

Since Chongzhen suffered a stroke and fell into a coma, Zhang Xiuer waited in front of Chongzhen's couch in plain clothes, serving and eating all by herself.

On the side, the nurse was breastfeeding the little princess for a few months, and the little princess was full of milk and struggled in the nurse's arms for a while before falling asleep.

Princess Kunxing sat on the brocade pier next to Chongzhen's bed, in a daze.

In the past day or so, what happened was so sudden that Kunxing was really uneasy.

The third brother Dingwang was killed, his father suffered a stroke and fell into a coma, and the successive blows were unbearable for ordinary people, not to mention that Kun Xing was only a sixteen-year-old girl!

To her younger brother, the third prince, Princess Kunxing always thought that he was dead, because there had been no news for so long, and he must have died in the chaos like the other two brothers. But who would have thought that just getting the news that he was alive was the bad news that he was killed!

Kun Xing can't stand such a blow, let alone his father, who is already seriously ill!

But after the pain in his heart, Kun Xing gradually calmed down, began to interrogate the details, and called Han Zanzhou to ask about the details. Of course, Han Zanzhou pushed the matter of the killing of the third prince completely, but only said that he died in the pursuit of Mantar.

Princess Kunxing had great doubts in her heart, because in her opinion, since the people of Dongchang had rescued the third brother from Shandong and entered the territory of Huai'an, and Huai'an was already the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty, how could she be caught up and killed by the Mantars there?

So there must be a conspiracy in it! And the people of Dongchang will definitely not be able to escape the involvement.

But even if she knew that there was a conspiracy, Kun Xing didn't dare to ask more, because she knew that there was no need to go in the past now, her father had a stroke and was in a coma and couldn't be governed, and this inner palace was in the hands of Han Zanzhou. And after the temptation, Princess Kunxing found that even the first assistant Shi Kefa couldn't count on it, and she was too pedantic to listen to what her princess said.

And Chen Yue, the only one he could rely on, led a large army hundreds of miles away in Jiujiang.

And now it is said that the cabinet and Manchu officials are debating which vassal king to succeed!

The father was still in a coma and had not yet died, and these officials discussed the establishment of a new master, which made Princess Kunxing feel even more chilled!

No, we must think of Chen Yue to come back, so that we can control the situation in the DPRK and China, as long as my father is still there, I will see which vassal king dares to enter Nanjing!

As long as Chen Yue comes back, he can start to find out the truth about the murder of the third brother, catch the murderer who killed the third brother and caused his father to have a stroke and fall into a coma, and avenge his brother and father!

And just now, Princess Kunxing got a message that the cabinet had issued a holy decree to let Chen Yue move to Wuchang, if Chen Yue arrived in Wuchang, it would be even farther away from Nanjing, and Princess Kunxing felt that she couldn't wait any longer.
