When Emperor Tianqi returned to the palace, the sun had already set. The day's running around made the young emperor feel tired and he went to bed early.

There was nothing to say all night. Emperor Tianqi got up very late this morning, and today's morning court was ruined again. Human laziness really has no choice. Emperor Tianqi seemed to be used to this lazy method, and he also looked at the morning court.

It's not that heavy.

When Emperor Apocalypse was bored, the selection of concubines was proceeding according to the schedule. Another thing that Emperor Apocalypse did not expect was quietly happening. If the trajectory of history was followed, this would be something that no one could accept.

The early spring in Liaodong is still cold, and there is no hint of spring at all. Every Liaodong soldier knows that this is the time when people are most likely to get sick.

At the gate of the Ming army's camp, there was a carriage parked. It was said to be a carriage, but it was different from an ordinary carriage because it was a prison carriage. There was a person standing in the tall wooden cage, a middle-aged man wearing a white prison robe.

He was dressed in uniform and had disheveled hair. Although this man was very embarrassed, his eyes were very bright, and they were breathtaking no matter who he looked at.

This person was none other than Xiong Tingbi, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, the censor of Henan Province, and the current Secretary of the Ministry of War. Lord Xiong came to Liaodong to express condolences on behalf of the emperor. At this time, Xiong Tingbi had lost his original power and looked very embarrassed.

Speaking of Xiong Tingbi, we have to mention a decisive battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Hou Jin Dynasty, which was the famous Battle of Sarhu in history.

This battle took place in the thirty-sixth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Yang Hao was the manager of Liaodong, a famous incompetent man in history. At this time, the Ming Dynasty had an absolute advantage over the Hou Jin Dynasty, but this Yang

Hao was ambitious and talented, so he sent four armies to encircle and suppress the Jurchens in Jianzhou at that time.

Because of this command error, the four armies of the Ming Army were defeated one by one by General Hou Jin. When the Ming army went out to fight, 50,000 of the 100,000 elite soldiers were annihilated. Countless grain and supplies were lost, and the Ming army's vitality was seriously damaged at this station.

After the Battle of Sarhu, Liaodong was completely lost from the north of Shenyang, and the Ming Dynasty no longer had the strength to send troops to conquer. The person who saved Shenyang was Xiong Tingbi. When Xiong Tingbi came to Liaodong, the Ming army had been defeated.

The Eight Banners of Houjin took the opportunity to capture the city and conquer Shenyang.

After Xiong Tingbi came to Shenyang, Xiong Tingbi took office and arrested Li Shanghao, the prefect who was about to escape, and killed the fugitive general Liu Yujie and others in order to stabilize the morale of the army. Former Liaodong manager Yang Hao was arrested by Xiong Tingbi and jailed in Beijing. Former Liaodong general Li Rubai (son of Li Chengliang, Sa)

The only general who was not wiped out in the Erhu defeat) was recalled to Beijing and committed suicide. Xiong Tingbi stationed troops and built cities at that time, turning the situation in Liaodong around.

Since then, Lord Xiong has been stationed in Liaodong, and the great hero of the Later Jin Dynasty, Hachi, suddenly lost his former prestige. No matter how provocative, this Xiong Tingbi did not leave the city and stayed in Shenyang.

**Hachi suffered several losses at the hands of Xiong Tingbi. **Hachi had no way to deal with this Master Xiong, so he nicknamed him Xiong Manzi.

Xiong Tingbi was a typical military officer, rough-hearted and generous, but proficient in military affairs. This gentleman's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty was flawless, but he really couldn't stand these civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, thinking that they were all

The corpse is a plain meal and cannot be used for anything else.

So Xiong Tingbi repeatedly expressed his dissatisfaction, and the way he expressed it was by scolding. I have to say that this general is a very lovely person. He not only scolded the civil officials, but also the Ministry of War, and even the supervisory censor. It can be imagined that in In this era of civilian rule, General Xiong is so unpopular.

You must know that at this time, civil servants were in power. The Ministry of War was Xiong Tingbi's immediate superior, and the Supervisory Censor was responsible for supervising all officials. Although these people said they did not want to associate with Lord Xiong and were too lazy to get to know him. But in the Ming Dynasty Civil servants in China are notoriously petty, so they will naturally keep people like Xiong Tingbi in their hearts.

When Emperor Tianqi first ascended the throne, Hachi led his Eight Banners disciples to attack Shenyang, but was beaten back by Xiong Tingbi again.

But what was supposed to happen in history did not happen. I don’t know if it was because of the arrival of Emperor Tianqi that changed the original track of history. But at this time, things seemed to have returned to their original track. This General Xiong Bad luck.

At this time, the forces in Liaodong were intertwined, but in this place, military power was the basis of conversation. There were 100,000 Ming troops in Liaodong at this time, and most of the military power was in the hands of Yang Yuan, the governor of Liaodong. Who is this Yang Yuan? He is the uncle of Yang Hao, the former Liaodong administrator we mentioned above. How many soldiers does Xiong Tingbi have? The answer is 10,000. These 10,000 people were given to Xiong Tingbi by the court from time to time. He gathered part of the Ming army. There were about 5,000 defeated troops in Saarhu. The other 5,000 were recruited by General Xiong himself.

It was with these 10,000 men that Xiong Tingbi garrisoned Liaodong and blocked the enemy's advance from Hachi.

Returning to the text, the Governor of Liaodong, Yang Yuan, hated Xiong Tingbi deeply. Yang Hao was originally imprisoned by Xiong Tingbi. Yang Yuan once begged Xiong Tingbi, hoping that he could intercede for Yang Hao and save Yang Hao's life. However, he was rejected verbally by Xiong Tingbi.

It is conceivable that Yang Yuan hated Xiong Tingbi. At this time, Xiong Tingbi was loaded into a prison car by Yang Yuan, put in a wooden cage, and prepared to be escorted to Beijing. Just like his nephew back then, Yang Yuan believed that as long as Xiong Tingbi was If he gets it in, he will definitely not be allowed to come out again.

Looking at the Ming army camp that was getting farther and farther away from him, Xiong Tingbi felt very complicated. Although he hated Yang Yuan, he never regretted what he had done. But regarding his own path and future, the general's heart was very complicated. But he had no idea what the newly enthroned emperor was like. He didn't know what he was like.

If Emperor Tianqi is a wise lord, then Xiong Tingbi believes that he will definitely be able to come back here and show his ambitions. If he is still like the previous emperor, then he will definitely be in trouble. Although Xiong Tingbi has a violent personality, But he is not stupid. He knows that since Yang Yuan chooses to take action, the capital must be well prepared, and his only support is the newly enthroned His Majesty.

Xiong Tingbi has a clear understanding of his popularity. After arriving in the capital, he doesn't know if there will be people who will plead for him. But there will definitely be many people who will step on him.

Emperor Tianqi was walking in the palace at this time, and he was not prepared at all for what happened next. Perhaps this would be an important turning point.
