Looking at the ships slowly docked at the wharf outside the city, Zhejiang Governor Zhang Bingzhen showed a wry smile on his face. He had already received an edict to be transferred to Nanjing, and after the arrival of the new governor of Zhejiang, he would go to the Imperial Court to serve in the Imperial Procuratorate.

From the right governor of the imperial history of Zhejiang to the left deputy of the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, the official rank has been promoted by two levels, from the fourth rank to the third grade, but the real power in his hands has shrunk greatly. The governor of Zhejiang is a feudal official, holding the military and political power of a province in Zhejiang, and the left deputy capital Yushi is just a gossip official with no real power, although the rank is high, how can it be compared with the highest official of a province?

And the one who caused all this was Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi who was about to get off the ship, because the new governor of Zhejiang, Wang Yin, was Chen Yue's old subordinate. Chen Yue buried his father in Hangzhou, and Wang Yin went to Hangzhou to serve as the governor of Zhejiang.

"Zhang Bingzhen, the governor of Zhejiang, greets the Duke of Qi!" Looking at the person in filial piety at the head, Zhang Bingzhen knew that the main man had arrived, so he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

Although the civil and military forces do not belong to each other, Chen Yue is a superb, and he is a great hero who turned the tide, Zhang Bingzhen did not dare to slack off.

Following Zhang Bingzhen, Zhang Yinli, the prefect of Hangzhou, He Lun, the prefect of Qiantang, Wu Kexiao, the Jiahu soldier, and a group of gentry in Hangzhou stepped forward to salute.

"Lord Zhang has worked hard, and my lords are exempt." Chen Yue bowed his hand slightly and returned the half-salute.

After the greetings, Zhang Bingzhen introduced the Hangzhou officials and gentry behind him to Chen Yue one by one.

"Duke Qi Guo, the cemetery of Duke Zhongguo has been selected at the southern foot of Jade Emperor Mountain, and on the day of burial, I will lead the Hangzhou gentry to see off the old man."

Chen Yue was loyal and filial, so naturally he couldn't participate in such an activity as a reception, Zhang Bingzhen didn't mention it, and after greeting him, he led the crowd away.

Chen Yue did not enter the city, but helped the coffin and went straight to the Jade Emperor Mountain.

Jade Emperor Mountain, formerly known as Dragon Mountain, is located in the south of the West Lake outside Hangzhou Qiantang River, looking at the dragon lying horizontally, majestic and handsome, when the wind and clouds surge, but see the lake and mountain are empty, the river and the sky are vast, every August 18, the sea tide is like a mountain swarming, and the tide swarms from under the Jade Emperor Mountain.

Facing the sea, spring flowers bloom, although this place is not located next to the coast, under the mountain is the wide Qiantang River, along the river more than ten miles is the vast Hangzhou Bay.

The reason why the cemetery is chosen here, one is that the Jade Emperor Mountain has excellent feng shui, and then it is not far away is the city of Hangzhou, and it takes too much material to attack overseas to form a fleet in the future, and Hangzhou is extremely prosperous and is the best place to purchase.

Zhoushan is Chen Yue's fiefdom, and the sea is really blooming in spring on all sides, but thinking about burying his father on a desert island, Chen Yue is a little unbearable. Although it is far from the sea, it is on the mainland, and it is the most prosperous city in the world to the north.

Zhang Bingzhen is very good at being a man, and has set aside a piece of land with more than 300 acres in the place where he chooses a good cemetery, from the southern foot of Yuhuang Mountain to the Qiantang River, this area of more than 300 acres is the cemetery of Zhongguo Gong Chen Jianghe.

Shan Minglei, who came first, has hired people to build several wharves by the Qiantang River at the foot of Yuhuang Mountain, and built more than ten houses with bamboo and wood next to the wharf and at the foothills, which will be Chen Yue Shouxiao's residence in the future.

It is impossible for all of the more than 3,000 people accompanying them to stay here, and most of them have to go to Zhoushan Laolai.

On June 18, Jiachen, it is advisable to shepherd, accept livestock, make livestock, cut wood, make beams, bury, break the ground, and open a grave, which is the day when Chen Jianghe, the prince of Zhongguo, was buried.

On this day, dozens of officials and gentry in Hangzhou City, under the leadership of Zhang Bingzhen, the governor of Zhejiang, all came to the foot of the Jade Emperor Mountain, and the three thousand family guards lined up in a neat queue from the riverside wharf to the cemetery at the southern foot of the Jade Emperor Mountain.

Chen Yan, Chen Mo, Liu Neng, Ma Chuang, and other thirty-six old brothers who followed Beijing all the way personally carried the coffin of their old grandfather Chen Jianghe into the tomb. The housekeeper Du Yuan took Zhou Wen and a few other old brothers of Chen Jianghe to shovel the soil with a shovel and bury their old boss and neighbors.

Chen Yue knelt in front of the grave and wept bitterly and was overwhelmed with grief.

The tomb is sealed, after the mound of soil is built with bricks and stones, the tombstone is erected, and the book "the tomb of the Ming Dynasty Zhongguo Gong Chen Yanjianghe, Chen Yue Jingli", engraved with the glorious achievements of Chen Jianghe's life behind the tombstone.

Under the leadership of Du Yuan, a group of old brothers knelt down in front of the grave to make a final send-off for the old man.

Zhang Bingzhen led a group of officials and gentry to kneel down to worship and pay tribute according to their grades and fames, and Zhang Bingzhen read the memorial written by himself in front of the grave.

At the foot of the mountain, ten tiger squatting cannons roared one after another, and then thousands of guns were fired into the air, and Zhang Bingzhen and others were shocked by the dense sound of guns.

There are not too many cumbersome ceremonies at the funeral, but there are officials and gentry all over the city to watch the ceremony, thousands of soldiers Dai Xiao to see them off, and Chen Jianghe, the loyal prince of the country, has no regrets!

After the funeral, there was a 27-month period of filial piety, nearly three years. If it is strictly in accordance with etiquette and customs, during these three years, no marriage, no intercourse, no feasting, drinking and having fun, filial sons must live in front of the grave, and even changing clothes and bathing are not allowed. Three years of hard life to remember the kindness of his parents.

However, after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, filial piety was not so strict, after all, this is not something that ordinary people can tolerate if they live in front of the tomb for three years.

Up to now, in addition to feasting, drinking, and marrying, filial sons can also walk around, and they can travel to friends, and they can't leave the grave for a moment.

But what should be done is still to be done, after burying his father, Chen Yue settled at the foot of the Jade Emperor Mountain, refused to visit all guests, and kept filial piety for his father with peace of mind. Three thousand guards and nearly a thousand shogunate officials and craftsmen, most of them went to Zhoushan by boat, Qian Fenglin was appointed as the governor of the Qi State Mansion, and was fully responsible for handling Zhoushan affairs, and Shan Minglei assisted him.

At the foot of the Jade Emperor Mountain, only Chen Yan was left with a hundred guards to guard in turn, and the housekeeper Du Yuan was responsible for taking care of Chen Yue's trivial matters.

On the third day after the burial, when Chen Yue was sitting at his desk in the middle of the house to draw the structure of the sailboat, Du Yuan came to report that Yang Zhengping and Wei Yang had rushed from Huai'an and had arrived in Hangzhou.

"Brother Yang, why are you here?" Seeing Yang Zhengping, Chen Yue was shocked, Yang Zhengping had been promoted as the chief soldier of Huai'an, responsible for resisting the attack of Shandong Zhun Tower, guarding Yangzhou, how did he come here?

"My husband is buried, and I am not even asked to participate in such a big matter, do you still treat me as a brother, Duke Qi?" Yang Zhengping glared at Chen Yue and said dissatisfied.

"It's not that you won't let Brother Yang participate, it's really that you have a huge responsibility, and you can't leave without permission." Chen Yue shook his head and said.

"Just a Huai'an commander-in-chief, do you think it will be put in my eyes? Compared with the friendship of the old man, what is the official position? Yang Zhengping said disdainfully.

"Brother Yang, could it be you?" Chen Yue asked in surprise.

"General Yang has resigned from his post and resigned from the official position of the Huai'an General Army." Before Yang Zhengping could speak, Wei Yang on the side hurriedly said.
