On January 21st of the first year of Tianqi, there was an early morning court. Emperor Tianqi attended the morning court on time. Because he failed to attend court many times, the imperial censor had already complained a lot. Emperor Tianqi also felt that he was being punished by the imperial court because of this incident.

The historian said that it was not worth scolding him, so he had to make some appearances.

The old opening, the same pattern, everything was the same as every morning. Listening to the ministers below talking about trivial things, Emperor Tianqi felt sleepy and kept nodding his head.

"I have this memorial." Just when Emperor Tianqi felt that he should withdraw from the court, a man suddenly stood up and said loudly. Emperor Tianqi, who was originally drowsy, was startled, but this man did not speak.

It seemed that he was waiting for Emperor Tianqi to speak.

After sorting out his thoughts, he picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. He rubbed his wrinkled face with his hands before Emperor Tianqi turned his attention to the person standing below.

The one who stood up was a censor. This man was quite good-looking, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was very official and looked like an upright official. But Emperor Tianqi's brows frowned.

For a while, Emperor Tianqi was tired of these censors and officials. When he saw a censor standing up, he suddenly had a headache.

These imperial censors are always staring at Emperor Tianqi, as if they can only live up to their responsibilities if they can find the faults of Emperor Tianqi. Every time they remonstrate, they will cry bitterly, or they will be killed in the main hall.

Go ahead, leaving Emperor Tianqi helpless.

If Emperor Tianqi gets angry and pulls these people out of the court or reprimands them, then these people will become heroes the next day. As if doing so is the loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, as long as he reprimands one person, there will be countless others the next day.

Someone came up to ask for a beating. When Emperor Tianqi saw that the person standing up was a censor, he suddenly felt a little unsure.

After coughing lightly, Emperor Tianqi said slowly: "Feng Aiqing, just tell me if you have anything to say!"

"I want to impeach a person. This person is Liaodong Administrator Xiong Tingbi. During his tenure as Liaodong Administrator, Xiong Tingbi increased taxes in border areas under false names, blackmailed the people, and claimed to build cities to defend the enemy. In fact, he was deceiving the country and deceiving the emperor. Please remove him.

If you hold an official position, you will be punished strictly." Feng Sanyuan glanced at Emperor Tianqi and said slowly.

The whole hall fell silent with these words, and many people looked at each other in confusion. Some people turned their attention to Sun Chengzong, the chief scholar of the cabinet, who was standing at the front. However, this old man looked serious.

With an air of indifference. Everyone was confused as to why the Censor Feng would participate in the impeachment of Xiong Tingbi? Didn’t these two people have anything in common with each other?

There are always smart people in the world. For example, Yang Lian from the Ministry of War was involved in the incident. At this time, Mr. Yang's brows were furrowed and he was constantly thinking in his mind. He knew the grudge between Xiong Tingbi and Feng Sanyuan.

In fact, it is not a big deal, it is just that Xiong Tingbi scolded Feng Sanyuan. This is nothing in this era. It is common for officials to abuse each other and even fight.

Although Feng Sanyuan holds a grudge, he shouldn't bring it up at this time! As a soldier in the military department, Yang Lian knows a lot of things. The situation in Liaodong is very tense. Hou Jin has always wanted to seize Shenyang, because Xiong Tingbi is here.

Only then can Shenyang be saved. At this time, these people set their sights on Xiong Tingbi. The matter was definitely not arranged by Feng Sanyuan. This person was probably a pawn!

When Yang Lian still didn't know what to do, Emperor Tianqi above him was covered in cold sweat, his face was horribly pale, and his body was trembling. A few days ago, Emperor Tianqi felt that he had forgotten something. When he heard Xiong Tingbi's name, he finally remembered it.

Xiong Tingbi was escorted to Beijing, and then imprisoned by Emperor Tianqi. In the next year, wars continued in Liaodong, and Shenyang, Liaoyang and other places were lost one after another. Later Jin Dynasty completely established a foothold in Liaodong. , has the strength to compete with Ming Dynasty.

Looking at Feng Sanyuan standing below, Emperor Tianqi suddenly laughed, but the laughter was a bit strange, hoarse and dry, as if the young emperor was trying his best to suppress something.

After a long while, Emperor Tianqi slowly said: "As a royal censor, Feng Aiqing has the responsibility to supervise all officials. This book is nothing. I wonder what you all think?" Although Emperor Tianqi's tone was Peaceful, but his two hands hidden in his sleeves kept pinching each other. Only this kind of pain could stabilize him instead of ordering Feng Sanyuan to be pulled out and chopped.

"Your Majesty, I have this memorial." As soon as Emperor Tianqi finished speaking, another person stood up. This one bowed respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, I have stayed in Liaodong for a period of time, and I know Xiong Tingbi's character well. At this time He has a violent personality and often suppresses his subordinates. He leads his soldiers to go out on patrols. In fact, in the name of patrols, he extorts local people. I had no evidence at the time. Please put Xiong Tingbi in jail and thoroughly investigate this person." The person who stepped forward this time was the Minister of the Ministry of War. Yao Zongwen was merciless in what he said, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with Xiong Tingbi.

Yang Lian frowned even more at this time. Yang Lian was very clear about the character of Yao Zongwen, the Minister of War. He was a man of great ambition and talent, and he was also greedy. He once patrolled Liaodong because Fang Congzhe, the chief minister of the cabinet, had no knowledge of military matters and was corrupt and extorted. Xiong Tingbi despised him. Yao Zongwen was scolded for his conduct and wrote a letter of impeachment.

In order to calm people's hearts, Fang Congzhe transferred Yao Zongwen back to the capital. This Yao Shangshu must have hated Xiong Tingbi at that time. It seems that Xiong Tingbi was in a very bad situation at this time! Yang Lian couldn't help but look at Emperor Tianqi, I kept asking myself, should I stand up and say a few words for Xiong Tingbi?

The expression on Emperor Tianqi's face was very strange at this time. He seemed to be smiling and crying. In short, it was very complicated. Seeing Yang Lian looking at him, Emperor Tianqi shook his head slightly and said slowly: "Feng Yushi impeached Xiong Tingbi, Yao Shangshu also said the same thing, I wonder who among you dear friends has anything to say?"

The ministers below looked at each other in confusion. Many of them could not help thinking that Xiong Tingbi was from the Chu Party, while Feng Sanyuan and others were from the Donglin Party. At this time, Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant of the cabinet, had been dismissed by the Donglin Party. Could it be that what happened this time was the last time the Donglin Party members failed to take advantage and wanted to get back a win?

Many people's eyes once again looked at Sun Chengzong, the chief minister of the cabinet. This leader of the newly emerging power in the court did not seem to find anything strange, and he still looked like he had nothing to do with it.
