Chen Yue and Wang Yin discussed the issue of the title after taking power, and did not feel any transgression in the slightest, as if the emperor and his ministers in Nanjing did not exist.

In fact, it is not Chen Yue and Wang Yin, but the current Qi Wang family has controlled the absolute advantage, and the court has almost no power to fight back.

With Wu Mengming's defection, looking around Nanjing, there are not many armed forces belonging to the imperial court. Although the Beijing camp is still there, there are still more than 100,000 troops on paper, but how many of them are willing to obey the call of the imperial court?

The strength of the Qi Wang family is extremely powerful, and the elite of the Northern Expedition directly controlled by Chen Yue and the sailors controlled by Wang Yin add up to 60,000, all of which are the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, and those old soldiers in the Beijing camp can compare. And the rebels are actually their own people, excluding those uncontrolled rebels, there are still seventy or eighty thousand soldiers.

If you include the Jiangxi soldiers and the armies of several northern provinces, the army directly controlled by Chen Yue exceeded 300,000, and the territory under his control exceeded half of the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

In the imperial court, Emperor Chongzhen was disheartened and had decided to hand over power, and only those sub-civil officials needed to deal with.

However, as Chen Yue led his troops to recover Jiangdong Zhejiang, the nest of the Donglin Party was controlled by Chen Yue. Coupled with the fact that the rebel capture would soon be handed over to Chen Yue's hundreds of squires as hostages, the civil servants of the imperial court had to consider the consequences even if they wanted to.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Chen Yue is willing now, he can completely rely on his powerful power to set up a new dynasty on his own, and those civil officials will inevitably cry and shout to surrender, and the provinces and localities can almost spread the word, even if there is a rebellion, the army can be easily quelled.

However, for Chen Yue, being an emperor is actually a shackle, and with the identity of the emperor, he is imprisoned in the capital, and there is not so much freedom from then on. Moreover, Chen Yue has lingering fears about the intrigue between the officials and the officials all day long. Chongzhen's hard life really scared him. Therefore, the emperor's errand should be handed over to Chongzhen's father and daughter, and he should only be the actual controller, so that his reputation for loyalty and righteousness will not be ruined. Fame is a thing that makes people quite helpless many times, and Chen Yue can be regarded as having experienced Cao Cao's feeling back then.

Whether he is the prime minister or the president, he has to be appointed by the imperial court, but Chen Yue is not in a hurry at all now, because he knows that someone is more anxious than himself!

Of course, the officials of the Lin family in the middle of the DPRK are in a hurry. Although the Donglin Party is a kind of association of civilian officials, it does not only refer to civilian officials in the southeast. In fact, the foundation of the Donglin Party is indeed in the southeast, and the official gentry from the southeast are the backbone of the Donglin Party.

And now, Jiangdong, Zhejiang, and Fujian are in the hands of the rebels and the King of Qi, and a large number of squires have fallen into the hands of the rebels, and many Donglin Party officials' family assets and wealth need to be counted on by Chen Yue, the king of Qi, to "rescue", so the officials in the court are extremely eager to hope that the king of Qi can return to Nanjing and return to the imperial court as soon as possible.

However, Chen Yue also arrived in Jiangnan for a period of time, and he also won big victories one after another, recovering the four prefectures in Jiangdong, and led his troops into Zhejiang. On the bright side, the king of Qi won one great victory after another, recovering countless lost territories from the rebels. However, the officials of the Donglin family did not get any benefits, the wealth of the land was not returned at all, and even the lost family members did not move at all. How do people sit still?

Now that the official army has recovered a large part of the territory and the Susong area has been recovered, there are squires who have fled from Jiangdong to Nanjing to return to their hometowns tentatively, hoping to recover their manors and fields.

However, when they returned to their hometown, they found that the manor was still there, but there were already soldiers, and the fields were there, but there were farmers working on them. Even the shops in the city are still there, but they are all sealed and locked.

When the squires returned, they wanted to get back their homestead property, and even went to the government to complain and demand the return of their wealth. However, where is the government now, the entire four prefectures in Jiangdong are under military control. And the officers stationed in the garrison also said that they were only ordered to be stationed and had no authority to deal with such matters. So, if you want to get your property back, go to the real principal.

Who is the real principal? Naturally, Chen Yue, the king of Qi, can be an ordinary squire, how easy is it to see Chen Yue?

In desperation, the squires could only write letters to their relatives and friends in the court, hoping that they could help them return home from the hands of King Qi. So, the ball was kicked to the side of the court again.

"Mu Zhai Gong, since the four prefectures of Jiangdong have been recovered, it is reasonable for the imperial court to send people to serve as officials of the prefecture and county, so as to restore the peace on the ground in Jiangdong as soon as possible. Zhejiang is also close to recovery, and the selection of an official must also be considered as soon as possible. ”

Zuodu Yushi Li Zhan suggested. Li Zhan, whose hometown is in Jiangdong, is very anxious, because there are his estates, fields and countless wealth.

"Send an officer?" Qian Qianyi sneered, "Lord Li, do you believe it or not, the officials sent by the imperial court have not yet decided to go to the place where they are in office, and the news of his death will come!" ”

Li Zhan's mouth opened wide: "But, haven't the four prefectures of Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Suzhou, and Songjiang been recovered?" ”

"It's recovered, but there are still bandits who have not been wiped out, without the consent of the King of Qi, these officials can only die in the hands of the bandits when they enter Jiangdong!" Qian Qianyi snorted coldly.

"This ......" Li Zhan suddenly understood what Qian Qianyi meant, "King Qi, King Qi, would he be so unreasonable?" ”

Qian Qianyi glanced at him, and didn't say more, if he cared, he would be chaotic, and the dignified Zuodu Yushi would inevitably be stupid when it came to his family's property.

Li Zhan tried his best to calm his emotions, and his thinking finally became clear.

"Mu Zhaigong, no matter what, the imperial court can't ignore it, and it must come up with countermeasures."

Qian Qianyi nodded: "We have to come up with countermeasures, and King Qi is also waiting for our decision!" ”

This is a game, a game between the civil officials represented by the Donglin Party and the Qi Dynasty, and the results of the game will determine the division of power in the Ming Dynasty. However, compared with the strong Qi Wang family, the civil officials of the Donglin Party no longer have any bargaining chips, and the seven inches are still in the hands of others, so there is no power to fight back at all!

Think about it two years ago, the government was still in the hands of the civil officials of Donglin, and a year ago the civil officials were still able to fight against the King of Qi and his family, but now the situation has turned one-sided, and the civil officials represented by the Donglin Party have been crushed and have no power to fight back. Thinking of this, even Qian Qianyi could only sigh.

Since the situation is like this, he can only make a decision early, and Qian Qianyi knows that there is not much time left for him. In fact, there is nothing to decide, and there is only one way to go!
