The court hall was eerily quiet at this time. Everyone was looking at Emperor Tianqi quietly, waiting for the young emperor's decision.

Emperor Tianqi's face was also uncertain at this time. He couldn't help but look at Sun Chengzong who was standing below. Seeing this old guy looking like an old god, Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"My dear friends, I wonder where Xiong Tingbi is now?" Emperor Tianqi was asking questions knowingly. He still knew this part of history. At this time, Xiong Tingbi had been escorted into the capital, and all he needed was an imperial edict from Emperor Tianqi.

In jail.

"Back to your majesty, Xiong Tingbi has been arrested by Yang Yuan, the governor of Liaodong, and has been escorted back to Beijing." The person who stood up this time was the most important one, because he was Gu Zhen, the cabinet scholar, and ignored the differences around him.

Looking at him, Gu Zhen continued: "I believe that Xiong Tingbi is a sinner of the Ming Dynasty. If he is not killed, the people will not be angry, and if he is not executed, it will not be enough to uphold the law of the country."

Gu Zhen's words were already heart-wrenching words, which was the final sight. All the ministers looked at Emperor Tianqi.

"Okay! I want to ask, what evidence do you have? Such words are so conclusive. Could it be that what Xiong Tingbi did was witnessed by all my dears? My dears are in the capital, but they know so much about things in Liaodong.

, don’t you have clairvoyance and ears?” Emperor Tianqi finally couldn’t suppress the anger in his heart, shook his sleeves fiercely, and said loudly: “Without evidence, privately escorting Liaodong Economic Strategy to Beijing, even if Liaodong

The superintendent can control the civil and military affairs, but what is this about arresting people without knowing why? This is authoritarian power."

Looking coldly at Gu Zhen who was kneeling on the ground, Emperor Tianqi said loudly: "As a cabinet bachelor, I don't know right from wrong and follow what others say. I ask you, how do you know about these crimes of Xiong Tingbi?"

"Your Majesty, this." Seeing Emperor Tianqi's rage, Gu Zhen's face suddenly turned pale as paper. He quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this is what Yang Yuan, the governor of Liaodong, wrote to you to explain."

"Yang Yuan wrote you a letter? Who are you? The Liaodong governor is guilty of a crime. Instead of giving me a letter, the governor of Liaodong actually wrote to you? Who do you think you are?" This is the first time since Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne that he has written to you.

It was the first time I had lost my temper in front of so many people and scolded a minister so loudly.

"As a bachelor of the cabinet, you actually want to behead a member of the imperial court because of someone else's letter. What do you do for food? Go home and coax your grandson! A vegetarian meal on the corpse!" Ignoring the trembling Gu Zhen, Emperor Tianqi

He looked at the minister below and said loudly: "Without real evidence, I will not kill a court official indiscriminately. I will remember those who have done something good for me and the country."

"My Holy Emperor!" All the ministers knelt on the ground and shouted loudly. At this time, they had slowly begun to feel a sense of belonging to this young emperor. This may be the feeling of being cared for!

"Release Xiong Tingbi and go home. I will ask him about this in the morning court three days later. As for Gu Zhen, as the chief assistant bachelor of the cabinet, he ignores the kindness of the emperor and does not know people well. He is dismissed from his post and returns home, and will never be used again."

Waving his sleeves vigorously, Emperor Tianqi angrily left the Qianqing Palace, leaving behind the ministers with mixed feelings.

Standing up slowly, Gu Zhen looked very lonely. He did not expect that after such a lawsuit, he would be dismissed and go home. Also lost was Yao Zongwen, Minister of the Ministry of War. This old man was completely gone at this time.

My original spirit was dejected.

"Eunuch Chen, stay!" Just when Chen Hong was about to leave with Emperor Tianqi, a man hurriedly came to Chen Hong's side and grabbed Chen Hong who was about to leave.

"Master Yang, I wonder what Mr. Yang has to do with our family?" Looking at Yang Lian, Chen Hong smiled softly and said with a teasing look on his face.

Not caring about Chen Hong's tone at all, Yang Lian whispered in Chen Hong's ear: "Eunuch Chen, could you please inform me and tell me that Yang has something important to see your Majesty!"

Gently waving the fly whisk in his hand, Chen Hong said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yang, we know that His Majesty likes you, but His Majesty is very angry at this moment. We advise you not to look for this boring person. We have just dismissed a cabinet

Grand Bachelor, our family feels that even a member of the Ministry of War will be reluctant to part with His Majesty before he sees it."

"My father-in-law misunderstood. Yang was not interceding for Gu Zhen. He deserved it. Because of a personal grudge, he ignored national affairs and actually framed a court minister. Yang has other things to do and is bothering my father-in-law." Yang Lian naturally

Understanding what Chen Hong meant, he couldn't help but smile.

"Well, that's you, Mr. Yang. Let's go and ask you. I can't be sure whether it's possible or not!" Chen Hong glanced at Yang Lian with a complicated expression, and Chen Hong quickly ran in the direction where Emperor Tianqi disappeared.

past.

Looking at Chen Hong who was running over quickly, Emperor Tianqi frowned and said in a deep voice: "What's wrong?" Emperor Tianqi didn't take officials like Gu Zhen seriously. Sooner or later, a large number of officials in the court would be dismissed.

Taking out a few now is no big deal.

"Your Majesty, it's like this. Mr. Yang wants to see your Majesty." Chen Hong could naturally see that Emperor Tianqi was not in a high mood and said bravely.

After a long while, Emperor Tianqi sighed deeply and said slowly: "Go! Bring him in."

Two flowers bloomed, one on each side. When Emperor Tianqi met Yang Lian, Xiong Tingbi was standing in the car at the entrance of the Forbidden City. The former Xiong Jinglue was now even more embarrassed. It was obvious that the journey was not so easy.

of.

Looking at the ministers who came out with some worry, Xiong Tingbi didn't know what the outcome would be. His own fate depended on this court meeting.

Many people took one look at Xiong Tingbi and left. Although Emperor Tianqi did not convict Xiong Tingbi, this did not make these ministers view Xiong Tingbi in a different light.

"Master Xiong, you have suffered this time! But you look good, don't you?" Just when Xiong Tingbi was looking around, the two of them walked slowly to the prison car, and the older man said with a smile.

Xiong Tingbi didn't expect that someone would actually pay attention to him at this time. He couldn't help but look at the people below in surprise, and then said with a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Zhou. I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to have a prosperous official career! I don't know what Mr. Zhou is responsible for at this time.

Job?" Xiong Tingbi didn't expect to be an old friend and couldn't help but smile.

"Master Xiong is joking. Thanks to His Majesty, Zhou is now the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs." Zhou Jiamo breathed a sigh of relief and still had the energy to tease himself. It seems that Master Xiong is in a good mood. Although he has suffered

It's a bit painful, but my energy and energy are still good.
