Chapter 876

It was a dry afternoon. In the imperial palace in the center of Xuanwu Lake in Jiankang City, Chen Kefu lived on the imperial chair of the Golden Palace, and looked at the luxurious palace absent-mindedly. ([] ) This was Chen Kefu, a Jiankang city, who was born, was razed to the ground after Yang Guang conquered Jiankang.

Now the ruins of the stone city are still in the east of the newly-jiankang city. The Jiankang city is now very new and has been built less than ten years ago. Although it has experienced several wars, especially this time, the Wu and Chen armies repeatedly raised their positions in Jiankang, and the 31 inside and outside of Jiankang were damaged. However, as the palace city at the center of the lake, it is very completely preserved. Several books have been attacked and defended several times, but it has not been affected by it.

After Chen Kefu defeated the Wu army in Sipingshan, Chen Jun returned to Jiankang City, and Chen Kefu also stepped into Jiankang's palace for the first time.

Jiankang Palace is very magnificent and grand. Chen Faxing might have long since thought of becoming his own palace in the future, so the palace was built in an extremely magnificent manner. On the island in the middle of the lake several miles, a water city was built. There are 9,999 rooms in the entire palace alone, and dozens of main halls.

Just in terms of magnificence, Jiankang Imperial City is even above the imperial city of the eastern capital Luoyang, not to mention far superior to the capital Beijing Imperial City and Tokyo Imperial City. When he first entered here, Chen Kefu was also surprised by this fairy-like palace group that lived entirely in the lake.

When the Chen army generals felt the luxury of this palace, Li Benlei even directly proposed to demolish this ingenious palace group.

According to the old marshal, only the emperor was qualified to live in such a palace, and the emperor had long established Luoyang as the capital. Now that Jiangdong has been reclaimed, Jiankang will no longer be the capital of a country. Since it is not the capital, it naturally cannot own such a palace beyond the etiquette regulations.

Another marshal Qu Tutong even directly suggested that the entire Jiankang City should be demolished. In his opinion, Jiankang has always been the center of Jiangdong. If Jiankang is razed to the ground, it would be equivalent to erasing the center of the Jiangdong clans. This would be conducive to the conquest and rule of Jiangdong. After all, many dynasties have always been doing this. After capturing those heroes, even their nests were destroyed.

However, Chen Kefu did not consider this matter. Now he has to consider too many things. This matter can only be considered a small matter that cannot be even smaller. He understood the opinions of the generals and commanders of the court. Rather than saying that they were unable to get along with Jiankang City, they were better to say that their intention was not to drink. Behind these proposals, they actually pointed to the Supreme Emperor Chen Shen who had just been rescued from the Wu army and the "royal members" of thousands of "royal members".

When Chen Kefu raised his army, he basically had no connection with the Chen family. Until he ascended the throne, he was almost alone. The Chen clan has many children. After all, he was a family that once lived in the world and was not subject to much purge when the country was destroyed. Therefore, until now, there are nearly 10,000 people from the Chen clan.

But when he raised an army and took up the throne, these Chen clans were still supporting his father in front of the royal family of Nanchen.

Now that Chen Shen and the Chen Emperor have been ‘rescued’, landing on this huge clan and landing in the Chen Dynasty.

For the court, the Supreme Emperor and these royal members were a bit tricky. The sudden appearance of these people will undoubtedly change the Chen Dynasty's power structure. Even the appearance of Chen Shen will have an impact on the emperor.

After all, Chen Shen is the emperor's father, and that is the Supreme Emperor. And those royal members are either Chen Kefu's uncle, uncle, uncle, brother, nephew, etc. So far, the Chen Dynasty has not officially enthroned a king. The few who were enthroned before are basically either dead or surrendered.

Even the emperor's son has not been granted a king yet, and now there are so many people who are said to be qualified to be granted a king. What should I do?

On the surface, these things involve the royal family, but they are related to the royal family. But in fact, if you criticize people like this, you will be more people who decentralize power and seize power. Since entering Jiankang, some soldiers have reported that the soldiers stationed in the city have already had disputes with the royal family.

Affairs are complicated, but Chen Kefu has some soul wandering around the world.

After a long time, he seemed to come back to his senses and looked at the generals in the hall and the dozens of royal representatives who suddenly appeared.

"So that..."

A man in his fifty-year-old standing on the left side of the royal family spoke with a loud voice, saying, "We won, Your Majesty. Our Chen family finally regained Jiangdong again. It's really a blessing from our ancestors!"

This man is Chen Shuming, the sixth son of Chen Kefu's great-grandfather, Emperor Chen Xiaoxuan of Nan, and is considered Chen Kefu's uncle. After the demise of the Chen State, Chen Shuming and Chen Shuda were both reused in the Sui Dynasty. Basically, except for Chen Shen, the Chen family now regards Shuming and Shuda as seniors.

Chen Shuda once served Li Yuan, but later resigned from office and returned to Jiankang, and never cared about the world. The real leader of the Chen clan was Chen Shuming. Chen Kefu also knew this uncle and respected him more. The main reason was that when the Sui Dynasty destroyed the formation, the latter ruler Shubao and the subordinates surrendered, but the King of Yueyang refused to surrender. When all the subordinates and officials fled and surrendered, King of Yueyang Chen Shushen recruited troops and raised an army to fight against the Sui Dynasty.

At that time, Chen Shushen was even eighteen years old and was called the last backbone of the Chen Dynasty. He was finally defeated and killed. His two sons Zhigao, but Zhisong was rescued and raised by Chen Shuming. Therefore, Chen Kefu also had a little more favor for this uncle. When he saw him talking, he smiled and nodded.

Chen Kefu turned around and looked at his father Chen Shen, who was on the side of his dragon throne. The emperor of Southern Chen was wearing a dragon robe and seemed to be not concerned about the affairs in the court. He squinted his eyes slightly as if he didn't seem to be interested.

"What does the Supreme Emperor say?" Chen Kefu asked.

Chen Shen seemed to wake up suddenly, opened his eyes and looked at Chen Kefu, then looked at the ministers in the hall, and said, "I have nothing to say, everything will be handled by the emperor. I am old and I really can't sit still."

Chen Kefu nodded, looked at Hu Hai below, and said, "So, did Shen Luoyan still escape?"

Hu Hai stepped forward with some anxiety and saluted: "I am not fighting hard. When Shen Luoyan saw that he was defeated, he left behind his subordinates and led 8,000 light cavalry to escape. Although the Mo General and others pursued the eight thousand rebels, they finally killed the eight thousand rebels, but in the end they did not find Shen Ni's body. I guess she had abandoned the army and led a small army to escape. The Mo General asked for an order and was willing to lead troops to attack Jiujiang and Jiangxia again, and would capture Shen Ni in one fell swoop."

"No need." Chen Kefu shook his head. "This battle depends on the efforts of the generals and generals, and finally wiped out 300,000 rebels of the Shen family in one fell swoop, and sank Jiangdong in one fell swoop. After this defeat, the few books were no longer able to counterattack, and the rest was just a rest in Jiangxia. However, the current plan is the most urgent thing. What we need most is not to eliminate Shen Ni. What we most urgently is to digest the recovered nine counties of Jiangdong. Clearing up the remaining bandits in Jiangdong, appease the local area, resume production, and arrange officials. These are all urgent things."

For Chen Kefu, this battle in Jiangdong was originally something outside the plan. Now that he has finally won this battle, it is time to withdraw and he can no longer fall into it.

The real crisis of the Chen Dynasty was still in the north. The north was unstable and could not defeat the Turks in one day. Then the 400,000 Turkic army would be hung like a sharp sword on its head.

The Chen Luoyan was defeated and there was no power to counterattack at this time. What the Chen army needs most now is temporary stability in the south, so that the court can have the energy to deal with the Turks with all their might.

After pondering for a while, Chen Kefu said loudly: "I have decided that from now on, Jiankang will rename Nanjing and accompany the capital of our southern Chen. The counties around Nanjing are designated as Nanzhili Provinces together with Nanjing, and Wujun, Kuaiji, Dongyang, Yongjia and other counties are designated as Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces. The nine counties in Jiangdong have since been designated as two provinces, and Marshal Li Benlei is appointed as Nanjing's remaining subordinate and the governor of Nanzhili Province, and Marshal Qu Tutong is temporarily appointed as the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

When the emperor asked the two marshals to serve as governors of the two provinces, the ministers in the hall were a little surprised. What kind of rank are the two marshals, especially Li Benlei, who were originally left behind in Luoyang. However, after hearing this appointment, many generals had already guessed that the attack on Jiangdong this time would probably end temporarily.

Hu Hai and other generals also listened one by one, waiting for the emperor to deal with them.

Sure enough, although Hu Hai and others made great achievements, they caused quite a lot of trouble. Although Hu Hai made great contributions in the end, he was convicted of being adept at the commemoration of troops during the final evaluation. He was punished for three years in Dai, demoted to the rank of the third-rank Yunhui General, and even removed from the position of governor of Jiangxi and demoted to the commander of the fifth-rank Tianlang Camp.

This result shocked many people. They originally thought that Hu Hai would eventually get rid of his merits and demerits, and he might even be promoted one level a little. However, they did not expect that the emperor was so strict outside, although he was still ranking from the third rank official, but he became the leader of the fifth rank battalion.

Hu Hai was demoted, and Xu Shiji and Su Lie, his two left and right players were also demoted. Xu Shiji was the commander of the White Tiger Camp and Su Lie was the commander of the Xuanwu Camp. In addition, Shan Xiongxin, who was newly demoted, was named the Sanqi General, and was appointed as the commander of the Qinglong Camp. The surrendered Li Zitong was also appointed as the governor of Shandong. As for Li Chengyi, Li Chengli, Chen Shan, Chen Feng and others were all given first-level titles.

The most surprising thing was Chen Kedi, the commander of the silver armored guards, the 16-year-old guard young general, was also awarded the title of the general's rank, and was suddenly promoted from a sixth-rank official to a third-rank official. He was awarded the commander of the newly established Wolf Tooth Camp and was awarded the title of Marquis of Dingyang.

As for the generals of other divisions, they were basically rewarded, but after the long reward list was over, many people suddenly realized it. It seemed that although Hu Hai and others were demoted, they all became commanders of the 5,000 elite battalions. Like Li Chengyi and Chen Kedi, they were just governors with high rank but no actual positions, and then they became commanders of the 5,000 elite battalions, which was obviously going north with the emperor.

The bright formations rose in secret, and it seemed that the officials were getting smaller and smaller, but the scattered ranks did not change, but instead became the commander of the elite battalion. All the generals understood that if they could command an elite force to go north to participate in the war, the improvement after the war was definitely not low.
