Chapter 348: Helpless Shi Kefa
Jin Xin has already led a large group of soldiers into the mansion, and the family members of the Wei Mansion look well-equipped and strong, but they are just a bunch of rookies who have never seen blood, and it is okay to fight and bully ordinary people, but it is not enough to see in front of well-trained warriors.
Liu Neng also took a group of brocade guards into the Guogong Mansion, confiscated property, and arrested and tortured human traffickers It was their duty. The Duke of Wei has accumulated huge wealth for more than 200 years, and Chen Yue does not want to let go of these.
Chen Yue was still standing still on his warhorse, he had to wait for Shi Kefa to come over.
Shi Kefa's carriage arrived soon, the curtain was lifted, and the black, thin and short Shi Kefa jumped down, dressed in a bright red official robe, and his face was full of Ling Ran's righteousness.
Chen Yue jumped off his war horse and looked at this long-famous celebrity. In another time and space, Shi Kefa was praised as a national hero like Yue Feiwen Tianxiang, of course, some people disagreed with Shi Kefa, thinking that the reason why Nanming destroyed Shi Kefa was to take a large part of the responsibility. In short, this is a rather controversial figure.
However, it can be seen from the fact that he knew that Chongzhen was unwilling to support King Fu after he was alive, this is a person with integrity and integrity, maybe he is not capable, and his loyalty to the emperor is much stronger than others.
Just looking at the point of loyalty, he will inevitably be reused by Chongzhen in the future, and when Chongzhen arrives in Nanjing, the position of the first assistant of the cabinet may be his. Although Lu Zhenfei is more liked by Chongzhen, after all, his qualifications are much shallower than Shi Kefa, so he should not be able to compete with him.
From the point that it is better to be the first assistant in the future, Chen Yue seems to be selling Shi Kefa's face. However, he still ignored Shi Kefa's obstruction and ordered an attack on the Wei Mansion. Because for Chen Yue at this time, there is no need to get too close to Shi Kefa at all.
Chen Yue himself has been made a marquis and has a large army, and his father Chen Jianghe is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the power of the Chen family is already too great, if it is better to be with the civil officials, I am afraid that Chongzhen will not be able to sleep at night! This is also the reason why Chen Yueming knew that Shi Kefa was coming, but he still ordered to attack!
Chen Yue was looking at Shi Kefa, and Shi Kefa was also looking at Chen Yue. Young, young is a bit excessive. At the age of more than 20 years old, he has already made so many contributions, whether it is against the Manchu Tartars or the rebels, but it is said that the war is invincible, if this development continues, this Chen Yue must be a good general of the Ming Dynasty, and Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, is comparable to that year.
The credit is great, but it is also too domineering, how can it go on like this? Now he even dares to move Wei Guogong, and he doesn't know what he will be like in the future! Shi Kefa felt that he could not tolerate Chen Yue's behavior.
"Chen Yue has seen Master Shi, I don't know if you came here in a hurry to give me any advice?" It was Chen Yue who took the lead in breaking the silence, bowed his hand slightly as a salute, and then asked. He has the title of marquis, and his status is above Shi Kefa, the secretary of the military department, but Shi Kefa's age is far older than himself, and he is a celebrity, and Chen Yue is not a loser when he is the first to see him.
"Dare to ask Pingnanhou, why did you brazenly send troops to attack the Duke of Wei? Is there an edict from His Majesty? Although Chen Yue is a marquis, it is nothing to Shi Kefa, who is accustomed to seeing Nanjing as the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department.
"Under the command of His Majesty, the rebellious general, arresting the rebel is naturally a matter of duty, do you still need to ask your Lord Shi for instructions?" Chen Yue also put away the smile on his face and said directly.
"What a rebellion! But Wei Guogong is not a rebel, this is well known in Nanjing, Pingnanhou, you seem to have caught the wrong object! Shi Kefa sneered.
"Could it be that Xu Jiujue, the Duke of Wei, objected to King Fu when he ascended the throne, how did I hear that he also knelt down to King Fu in the court?" Chen Yue asked.
"That's just a helpless move by the obscenity of King Fu's army, if you say so according to Pingnanhou, almost all the civil and military generals in Nanjing City should be counted as rebels, do you want to arrest them all?"
"Ben Hou is a rebellious general, and everything involved in rebellion will be arrested one by one, as for who to arrest first and then arrest Ben Hou, I have my own conclusion, I don't need Lord Shi to teach me. Lord Shi, please go back, and don't hinder me in carrying out military affairs. Chen Yue said coldly.
"You, you, you," Shi Kefa pointed at Chen Yue, his chest rising and falling. After he became the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, almost everything in Nanjing was decided by him, the civil and military generals obeyed his orders, and no one would wipe his face in person, but I didn't expect this Chen Yue to be so oily and salty!
Taking a few deep breaths, Shi Kefa forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and tried to calm his tone as much as possible.
"Pingnanhou, the rebellion of King Fu has just been pacified, Your Majesty has not yet returned to Nanjing, there are still great enemies in the north, Nanjing is not easy to have turmoil, with the meaning of this official, Pingnanhou will stop for the time being, and after His Majesty arrives in Nanjing, His Majesty will decide. If the Duke of Wei is guilty, everything will be subject to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and no one will have anything to say about the murder of the family. Shi Kefa said earnestly. In front of Chen Yue, he had already lowered his posture.
"Ben Hou told Master Shi the truth, no matter whether Wei Guogong was really rebellious or not, just because he did nothing when King Fu ascended the throne, there would be no problem in arresting him. The Duke of Wei has been supported by the imperial court for more than 200 years, and when the country is in trouble, it is natural that it should stand up, instead of pretending to be deaf and dumb and allowing gaffes to happen.
King Fu rebelled against Xu Jiujue and did nothing, if one day the thieves or the Manchu Tartars attacked Nanjing, would he also let the enemy break the city? What is the use of such a nobleman to keep him? ”
Chen Yue's categorical words made Shi Kefa speechless, and he couldn't help but think of the day when King Fu ascended the throne, only he and a few people insisted on not kneeling, and most of the civil and military nobles chose to succumb to the obscenity of Liu Zeqing's army, and the same was true for Xu Jiujue. If it were according to his heart, he really wanted to ignore these bonesless people. But no! If Chen Yue's approach is followed, there are few people in the Manchu Dynasty who can use it.
Daming is a time of many disasters and difficulties, it is necessary to work together in harmony, according to Chen Yue's approach, it will inevitably make the court chaotic and everyone is in danger, Shi Kefa can imagine what it will be like at that time, he does not want to see this happen. But looking at Chen Yue's current appearance, he couldn't stop it at all.
With Chen Yue's identity and power, his identity as the secretary of the military department did not play much role at all, and in the end, Shi Kefa could only leave helplessly.
"I will immediately send someone to Zhenjiang to report this matter to His Majesty, and ask him to give an order to stop Chen Yue." Shi Kefa said secretly, thinking of this, he no longer paid attention to Chen Yue, turned around and got into the carriage. The groom turned the wheel, and the carriage sped quickly on its way.
