Chapter 77 Doubt
"Mr. Zhou has a prosperous career, unlike someone who is so depressed!" He smiled with a self-deprecating smile. Xiong Tingbi's expression was extremely lonely, and he looked a bit like a heroic old age.
Zhou Jiamo nodded thoughtfully, looked at the Forbidden City with gratitude, and said slowly: "Mr. Xiong, don't worry too much. Your Majesty has issued an order to release Mr. Xiong home. As for those impeachment of Mr. Xiong, in the morning court three days later, Your Majesty will personally ask Mr. Xiong."
While the two were talking, a team of soldiers walked out of the Forbidden City, all of whom were the guards of Emperor Apocalypse. When they arrived in front of the wooden cage, they did not look at Zhou Jiamo and Zuo Guangdou standing aside. They just looked at Xiong Tingbi with a expressionless face. The leader said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xiong, we are ordered to release Mr. Xiong." After that, they opened the wooden cage.
With the help of the guards, Xiong Tingbi walked out of the prison car. He slowly knelt down at the Forbidden City. At this time, the killing general's eyes were a little red and his voice was hoarse: "The emperor's kindness is so great that I will never repay my death!"
Looking at the imperial guards who were leaving, Zhou Jiamo greedy for Xiong Tingbi and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiong, I'll take you back, let's talk while walking!"
Seeing that Zhou Jiamo's expression was very serious and he was still unsatisfied when he spoke, Xiong Tingbi's eyes shrank suddenly and he nodded slowly. The three of them walked towards not far away.
"Master Zhou, don't you know that today's court?" Xiong Tingbi couldn't wait to ask, "It's about his own wealth and life, so Xiong Tingbi was naturally worried."
"Mr. Xiong, Zhou's words may be a bit heavy. I hope Mr. Xiong will not be surprised!" He accused Xiong Tingbi, and Zhou Jiamo continued: "Today, the first person to come out to impeach Master Zhou is the censor Feng Sanyuan. If I don't say this person, I believe Master Zhou will know it too."
Of course, Xiong Tingbi knew this person. He cursed this person at the beginning. Seeing Zhou Jiamo’s obscure words, Xiong Tingbi nodded awkwardly.
"The second one to stand up is Yao Zongwen, the Minister of War. I believe this person is not unfamiliar with Lord Xiong!" Zhou Jiamo's tone was a little teasing at this time. Seeing that Xiong Tingbi was a little embarrassed, he smiled and said, "As for this third person, Lord Xiong must have never thought of it."
"Who is it?" Xiong Tingbi knew that he had offended too many people, but most people only knew how to watch the tiger fight. Before he understood the true intentions of Emperor Tianqi, few ministers would express their thoughts. After all, Mingzhe was not just talking about it!
"This person is Gu Qing, a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet!" Zhou Jiamo looked quite serious, and he was also cautious when he said this name.
"How could it be him? Although Xiong offended many people, he did not offend him?" Xiong Tingbi was a little confused. Although he was irritable and liked to curse people, he had never scolded the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. Why did he even have a Gu Qing?
"I don't know this, but I think there is a reason. Yang Yuan, the governor of Liaodong, Feng Sanyuan, the censor of the Ministry of War, Yao Zongwen, and Gu Qing, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, if these four people are connected, I don't know what Lord Xiong would think of?" Although Zhou Jiamo knew that something was wrong, he really couldn't figure out what these people were going to do. When Yang Lian came out, he must ask him carefully. Zhou Jiamo believed that Yang Lian, who had a keen sense of politics, would definitely guess something. As for Zuo Guangdou, who frowned on the side, was not within Zhou Jiamo's consideration at all.
"Forget it! Xiong has no choice but to have any solution to the disputes in the court. Since Master Zhou can't even understand, I can't figure it out even more." He shook his head with a wry smile, and Xiong Tingbi and Zhou Jiamo walked slowly to the distance.
At this time, Yang Lian, who was cared about by Zhou Jiamo, was standing in front of the Long Shu desk in the study with a respectful look on his face, with a wry smile on his face.
"Come on! Come on that stool for Lord Yang, don't let Lord Yang be tired." He frowned and looked at Yang Lian standing below, and Emperor Tianqi said angrily and amused.
"I thank you for your kindness." He bowed respectfully to Emperor Tianqi. Yang Lian was not polite, so he took the stool from the eunuch's hand and sat up. He stood up all morning. Yang Lian was really tired!
"Since you are here, just talk! What's the matter with me?" Emperor Tianqi rubbed his swollen eyes, looked at Yang Lian with a smile, and said softly.
Yang Lian kept thinking about what to say? After a while, he said: "Your Majesty, I think what happened today is a bit strange!"
Seeing that Yang Lian was about to be in chaos in the world, Emperor Tianqi laughed and scolded: "If you have any words, hurry up and say, I don't have time to watch you act here!"
"If there is anything wrong with me, Your Majesty will forgive me for not being guilty!" Yang Lian said slowly with a careful look at Emperor Tianqi.
"If you have something, say it, yes..., I want to cure you, and I can wait until now." He glared at Yang Lian fiercely, and Emperor Tianqi said with a smile.
He smiled awkwardly, and Yang Lian said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty's beloved minister will naturally know." Then he said seriously: "It's just that today's matter is very unusual. Yang Yuan escorted Xiong Tingbi to Beijing. It's nothing, it's just for Yang Hao. When Yang Hao was imprisoned, Xiong Tingbi escorted Yang Hao directly to Beijing, but Xiong Tingbi was an imperial envoy at that time, and his identity was different." As if he remembered what Emperor Tianqi said in the court, Yang Lian took back the words.
Seeing that Emperor Tianqi's expression remained unchanged, Yang Lian continued: "Feng Sanyuan and Yao Zongwen are just having a gap with Xiong Tingbi. It is reasonable for them to come out to impeach Xiong Tingbi. However, before His Majesty made a statement, the two of them stood up, which was obviously abnormal. Gu Qing's impeachment was even more unreasonable. This Grand Secretary Gu was cautious in all, and rarely expressed his opinions in the cabinet and abide by his duties. This incident was very abnormal this time. I really don't understand why he did this?"
He looked at Yang Lian with a smile, and Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "What's hard to understand? Maybe it's because he's old and confused. Okay, don't get involved in this matter. I have something to leave to you in a few days. Go home now!"
He glanced at Emperor Tianqi with some confusion. Yang Lian really didn't know what the young emperor was thinking. Although he was full of doubts, he could only bow and say, "I will leave."
Seeing Yang Lian leave, Emperor Tianqi slowly walked out of the imperial study room and saw the gloomy sky outside, and whispered: "Some people are always idle. If it weren't for the time being, I would never tolerate you. I hope you can remember this time, don't stretch your hands too long!"
Looking back at Chen Hong, Emperor Tianqi said seriously: "Come Luo Sigong and Wei Chao for me!"
