In a word!

Perhaps, for Chongzhen, Zhu Jie is the Dinghai Shenshen needle that he will maintain the stability of the Ming Dynasty in the next few decades, which is extremely important, as long as he can ensure the stability of the Ming Dynasty, power, fame, and title, Chongzhen will not hesitate, but only this one is the most taboo for Chongzhen, if Zhu Jie has mastered all the military power of the Ming Dynasty, or most of the elite military power, but wants to plot against him, then the emperor himself has dug a pit and buried himself!

Of course, Chongzhen is not a fool, just by virtue of Chen Yan's few words, next to Wei Dezao and Li Banghua pouted, he really believed it, after all, Zhu Jie was picked up by himself, and he was the emperor's grace to him, and he went from penniless to the position of the Duke of the Kingdom in two years, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, no courtier has ever had such an honor, not to mention two years, even if he has worked hard for the Ming Dynasty all his life, how many people have won the honor of the Duke of the Kingdom? That's just a handful!

"Chen Yan, you have to be responsible for what you say, it is related to the important ministers of the court, the future safety of the Ming Dynasty, I will never allow you to speak arbitrarily!"

Chongzhen's eyes flickered, and he shouted in a deep voice.

However, what kind of person is Chen Yan, his ability may not be very high, but this observation of words and expressions is indeed perfect, Chongzhen just frowned slightly a few times, and completely fell into Chen Yan's eyes!

There is a door!

Chen Yan was secretly happy in his heart, if it wasn't for his heart, the emperor would definitely not be this reaction!

"Your Majesty, the minister never said that the Zhenguo Gong is not loyal, on the contrary, the Zhenguo Gong is indeed loyal to the country, this is beyond doubt, if any person slanders the Zhenguo Gong, the minister will not agree!"

Chen Yan replied with a righteous face, "Your Majesty, since the birth of the Duke of Zhenguo, everything he has done has been for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, which is undoubted and obvious to all!" ”

Chongzhen's expression immediately softened, and he secretly said in his heart, Chen Yan was able to say such a thing, it was not in vain.

"Chen Aiqing, it's right to think so, you are all my courtiers, you are all my ministers, if you still have intrigue between you, if you can't work together, wouldn't I be very sad?"

Chongzhen said slowly.

Chen Yan bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, having said that, but now the Duke of Zhenguo is a loyal minister, can you guarantee that he will be a loyal minister in the future?" People's hearts will change! Your Majesty, wasn't Hong Chengchou loyal enough? Who would have thought that he would defect to the Manchus? We don't want to harm the town, but a certain amount of prevention is indispensable, right? ”

Chongzhen frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Aiqing, maybe what you said has some truth, and it is also for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, but I definitely don't believe that Zhu Jie will have the heart of rebellion!" Not before, not now, and not in the future! ”

"Your Majesty, he has no intention of rebellion, it doesn't mean that he won't do anything rebellious!"

Wei Dezao on the side said: "Your Majesty, isn't Song Taizu a minister who is loyal to the state when he was a courtier of the Later Zhou Dynasty?" Isn't there still a Chenqiao mutiny? Could it be that Tang Gaozu had the intention of rebellion when he was the Duke of Tang in Jinyang? Wasn't it also a rebellion that was kidnapped by Tang Taizong, Liu Wenjing and others? Can you guarantee the loyalty of Zhenguo Gong, and can you also guarantee those henchmen under him? From the dragon's skill, the temptation of high-ranking officials is not something that anyone can withstand......"

Chongzhen finally fell silent, yes, he believed in Zhu Jie in every way, but could he believe in his arrogant soldiers so much? Not to mention anything else, the henchmen Qin Mufeng, Cha Zhu and others under his command are obviously desperate to follow Zhu Jie, Zhu Jie was transferred to Nanjing, they directly resigned from the chief military officer and followed Zhu Jie to Nanjing!

Li Banghua saw that the emperor was silent, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Lord Wei and Lord Chen are reasonable, we don't really want to embarrass Zhenguogong, let alone frame Zhenguogong, but, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, we have to be like this, since ancient times, who has sought power and usurped the throne, which one is not a military general with heavy troops?" If the emperor thinks that he has taken away the military power of Zhenguo, he feels a little guilty, and he can make up for it elsewhere, but this military power cannot be added anymore, and a Tianwei army is enough for the people of the world to put their beaks, if the elite of Nanzhili is handed over to him, how can he control it in the future? ”

Chongzhen really hesitated, since ancient times, no matter how well the monarch and the ministers know each other and how honest they are, once the power of the courtiers threatens the imperial power, the tragedy cannot be avoided......

"Your Majesty, there is the most important point!"

Chen Yan said slowly.

"What else are you going to say?"

Chongzhen asked with some displeasure.

Chen Yan replied: "Your Majesty, don't forget, the matter of Empress Yi'an, now the government and the opposition have spread the wind, and they can't be curbed at all, all saying that Zhenguo Gong is the heir of the first emperor left behind by the people, and even some people say that after the emperor is a hundred years old, this throne will be returned to the descendants of the first queen, although the rumors are not enough to believe, and it is not enough to take, but three people become tigers, all mouths are gold, a hundred people, ten thousand people, millions of people, and even tens of millions of people, this is not as simple as rumors, Even if it is fake, it may become true, Zhenguo Gongnian is only a weak crown, with his physique and skill, it is not a problem to live for fifty or sixty years, but the emperor, the minister dared to ask him, how long can you reign? ”

Chongzhen's face turned dark, Chen Yan was asking himself when he would die, what a problem! However, people will eventually die, Chen Yan asked, it is not wrong, although he is only in his thirties, but what is this body, only he knows, for more than ten years, he has worked day and night, and he feels that he is too old, and his body is not as good as a day, don't say that fifty or sixty years, even if it is fifteen or sixteen years, he may not be able to hold it, once he returns to the sky, then the descendants can control Zhu Jie? If Zhu Jie really takes advantage of the situation, I am afraid that the throne of the Zhu family will really not be stable......

"Then you say, what are you going to do now?"

"Your Majesty, it's actually very simple!"

Chen Yan took a deep breath and replied: "Nanjing's military power is divided into three, and the garrison eunuchs are sent again, and then the military department Shangshu appoints another person to reactivate Xincheng Bozhao Zhilong, and the matter of rectifying Nanjing's military affairs is still in the hands of these people, as for Zhenguogong, he can assist in this matter, but his energy is still better on internal affairs......

Chongzhen nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then let's draft the decree, Zhu Jie was reappointed as the secretary of the military department, and concurrently served as the secretary of the ministry, the general leader of the six ministries of government affairs in Nanzhili, Shi Kefa was transferred to the imperial history of the left capital of Nanjing, Zhao Zhilong is still the garrison minister, and he issued an order to severely punish the lords of Nanjing, and if he wants to do anything wrong, I will not tolerate it!" As for the garrison eunuchs, I'll talk about it......"
