Nanjing finally received a letter, and a military director named He Bingzhen came to Huai'an and handed a letter to Chongzhen.

In the recital, Shi Kefa, on behalf of the ministers of Nanjing, respectfully invited Chongzhen to go to Nanjing to rebuild the imperial court, and Shi Kefa would take the ministers across the river to Pukou to greet Chongzhen in person.

In the recital, Shi Kefa also explained what had happened in the past few days, and that King Fu had entered Nanjing with the support of Ma Shiying and tried to ascend the throne. However, after getting the news that Chongzhen returned to the south alive, Shi Kefa and others vigorously objected, and in the middle, King Fu and Ma Shiying tried to threaten each other with troops, but Shi Kefa and others thwarted King Fu's plot with the support of Xu Jiujue, Duke of Wei, Zhao Zhilong, Bo Zhao of Xincheng, and Liu Kongzhao, Bo of Sincerity.

Now Ma Shiying has been arrested, and King Fu is also imprisoned in the garrison, but Liu Zeqing led the army to be stationed outside Nanjing, in order to control the situation, in order to solve Liu Zeqing's department, Shi Kefa and other ministers are now unable to withdraw, so they sent He Bingzhen, the head of the military department, to welcome Chongzhen to Nanjing.

Chongzhen, Lu Zhenfei, Wang Yin and others interrogated this He Bingzhen in detail, and his words were exactly the same as in the song, and he told the story of the past few days in great detail.

"It's Shi Butang's handwriting." Looking at the familiar handwriting on the concerto, the large seal of the military department, and the signatures and seals of Zhao Zhilong, the Nanjing garrison, Han Zanzhou, the eunuch of the town guard, and others who were attached to it, Lu Zhenfei nodded, and there was no doubt about the correctness of the concert.

"Shi Kefa and the others still know the righteousness, and they are loyal ministers of my Ming Dynasty." The dust has settled, King Fu has been solved, and a smile appeared on Chongzhen's face.

"Your Majesty is the son of heaven of my Ming Dynasty, and the father of all courtiers, and no one dares to do anything disobedient." Lu Zhenfei bowed and smiled.

"Hahaha!" Chongzhen laughed heartily.

"Let the ministers lead the troops to escort Your Majesty to Nanjing, as long as there are ministers, you will definitely protect Your Majesty." Zhu Guobi, the chief soldier of Funing Hou Caoyun, stood up and expressed his loyalty to Chongzhen.

When this guy was in the south of the Shun army, the Cao Yun troops did not dare to face the battle at all, and tried to rob the Huai'an granary of the Cao grain Cao Yin escaped, after being stopped by Lu Zhenfei with the troops, fled all the way to Yangzhou, and now Chongzhen arrived in Huai'an, and rushed back to Huai'an from Yangzhou, and Baba followed Chongzhen every day to wait.

"Marquis Funing is commendable, but the matter of the guards is still in charge of Pingnanhou." Chongzhen said with a smile. Beijing fell, all the nobles in Beijing were not in the hands of the thieves, and now the only remaining nobles in the Ming Dynasty are dozens of them in Nanjing, for Chongzhen, these nobles who rest with the country are of course the most loyal people.

However, no matter how loyal Zhu Guobi is, Chongzhen has fundamental trust in the combat effectiveness of his Cao Yun troops, and how can he be willing to put his own safety in his hands.

"Aiqing, let's go to Nanjing with me." After thinking about it, Chongzhen continued.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhu Guobi happily agreed, the position of Caoyun General Army used to be very thick, but now that the north has fallen, there will be no more Cao grain in the future, and there will be no oil and water.

"Your Majesty, will there be any deception?" Wang Yin frowned slightly, and said to Chongzhen, he instinctively felt that something was wrong.

"What's going to be? I have already arrived in the south, whether Shi Kefa and the others dare to give up King Li Fu as the emperor, then it depends on whether the officials and people in the world agree! Chongzhen said, having no doubt about the authenticity of the chapter. Shi Kefa was the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department who was personally appointed by him, Xu Jiujue Zhao Zhilong was the hereditary lord of the Ming Dynasty, and Han Zanzhou was also a eunuch sent by the palace, Chongzhen did not believe that these people would deceive and oppose him.

Wang Yin was not as confident as Chongzhen, and when he was about to continue to persuade again, he closed his mouth when he saw Chen Yue shaking his head at him.

......

"Master Hou, do you also believe that there is nothing strange in this? Shi Kefa couldn't come to Nanjing, but why didn't Han Zan, Zhou Zhao, Zhilong, Xu Jiujue and others come to greet him? After the meeting ended, Wang Yin followed Chen Yue to the barracks, retreated from others, and asked Chen Yue eagerly.

"How can there be no surprises? Liu Neng sent someone to report that Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo led their troops to leave Pukou and were quietly moving in the direction of Huai'an, although they were marching very hidden, far away from the city and marching in the countryside, but how could they escape the night of our army? ”

Chen Yue sneered, after arriving in Huai'an, he sent Liu Neng and others to investigate in the direction of Fengyang Pukou, the purpose was to find out the movements of Gao Jie and the other general soldiers of the four towns.

Knowing himself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, Chen Yue has already developed such a habit of continuous fighting in the past two years.

"Why didn't I know?" Wang Yin looked at Chen Yue in shock, Liu Neng waited for the night and some of the servants of Huai'an Mansion to set up a new Jinyiwei, which belonged to the command of Jinyiwei Chen Jianghe, but Jinyiwei was the emperor's pro-army, why didn't Liu Neng and others inform Chongzhen of the news?

"Does it matter?" Chen Yue frowned. Liu Neng and others have always been his subordinates, and it is normal to pass the news directly to himself.

"Doesn't it matter?" Wang Yin asked rhetorically, "After all, Liu Neng is now Jinyiwei, and he is no longer a member of your Pingnan Army, so it is a bit inappropriate to do so, at least this news should be reported to Your Majesty." ”

"I understand what you mean, sir, but I have my own considerations." Chen Yue nodded, he knew that Wang Yin was thinking about himself, although he was now trusted by Chongzhen, but he couldn't show too much authoritarianism, with Chongzhen's suspicious character, if he continued like this, he would sooner or later have doubts about himself, Jinyiwei was the emperor's pro-army, and he could only be responsible for the emperor himself.

Wang Yin nodded and said no more.

"Judging from the movements of Gao Jie and others, King Fu and Ma Shiying did not accept defeat at all, and none of Shi Kefa and other ministers came to Huai'an, which shows one thing, Nanjing is no longer under Shi Kefa's control." Chen Yue sneered.

"Are you saying that this piece was instructed by King Fu and Ma Shiying to lure His Majesty to Nanjing, and then Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo led the army to attack Your Majesty halfway?" Wang Yin asked in shock, he had thought about it, but he didn't expect King Fu and Ma Shiying to be so bold.

"I'm afraid that's it." Chen Yue sighed.

"Then why didn't you stop Your Majesty from returning south just now? You must know that the will to return to the south has been given, and His Majesty ordered that the route of the south be agreed on in these two days and that preparations should be made, and in three days, His Majesty will set off for Nanjing. Wang Yin asked anxiously.

"Stop, why stop going south? Since Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo had the idea of attacking halfway, they just planned to destroy them in one fell swoop, and then sent Nanjing with a thunderous force! Wouldn't it be better to fight slowly in the city of Huai'an? Chen Yue sneered.

The army that supported King Fu was also Gaojie, Liu Liangzuo, Huang Degong, Liu Zeqing, as long as they were quickly defeated, Chongzhen would naturally be able to ascend the throne in Nanjing. At present, the Shun army should have been defeated by the Qing army, and by next year, the Qing army will go south, and there is not much time left for the Ming Dynasty to regroup!
