Outside the palace, there is a restaurant.
Xiong Tingbi bowed and said loudly, "Your Majesty Xiong Tingbi, meet His Royal Highness King Hui!"
” Zhu Xu looked at Xiong Tingbi, with a big waist and round arms, dressed in clean clothes, with a smile on his face, quite a bit of spirit.
Zhu Xu smiled in his heart, but his face was silent, standing in front of him, holding his hands behind his back, and putting on a shelf: "Lord Xiong has just been released from prison, is this king looking for you too quickly?"
” Xiong Tingbi looked very hearty, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Yu Xiong has the grace to save his life, and the lower officials should have visited earlier." ” Zhu Xu looked at Xiong Tingbi, his eyes moved slightly, he didn't know much about this Lord Xiong, was his behavior like this, or did he deliberately test something?
Zhu Xu smiled and continued to put on the shelf: "Then Lord Xiong, what kind of thank you gift did you bring?"
” Xiong Tingbi was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Cao Wenzhao, who was not far away.
Cao Wenzhao stood there, bowing his head slightly, as if he didn't see it.
Xiong Tingbi immediately laughed, raised his hand and said: "Let Your Highness laugh, the lower official has spent all his family wealth in order to get out this time, and after a few days, Xiong will definitely thank His Highness again!"
” Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Okay, this king gave you 40,000 taels, and other points, 100,000 taels of 7788, plus your thank you, 200,000 taels."
If it's gold, 100,000 taels will do. ” Xiong Tingbi looked at Zhu Xu's serious face, and his expression finally changed, 100,000 taels of gold, all his family property added up to one-tenth of it!
At the same time, he also saw that he had underestimated this little highness.
Xiong Tingbi restrained his attitude, respectfully saluted Zhu Xu again, and at the same time took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and handed them over, saying: "It's the presumptuous of the lower officials, this is a hundred thousand taels of silver tickets, and I hope His Royal Highness will accept it with a smile." ” Zhu Xu squinted, took the silver ticket from his hand, looked at it, and counted it very seriously.
Xiong Tingbi didn't dare to make a mistake, he was out of breath when he spoke loudly before, and his expression was a little nervous.
Zhu Xu finished counting, slightly chucked, and said, "One hundred thousand taels is a lot." ” Xiong Tingbi looked serious, clasped his fists and said respectfully to Zhu Xu: "I still hope that His Royal Highness will give you advice, how should the lower officials come back?"
” Zhu Xu secretly laughed, this Lord Xiong is really not an ordinary person, and he just wanted to make a comeback as soon as he was released from prison.
He turned around with a pretended groan and sat down on a stool at the table.
Cao Wenzhao hurriedly went over and was about to pour water, but Xiong Tingbi took the first step, picked up the teapot and poured the water, and handed it to Zhu Xu with some courtesy, "Your Highness, please drink water." ” Zhu Xu smiled and nodded, it was not a stubborn stone, he took a sip of tea, looked up at him and said, "What do you think I should do with the situation in Liaodong?"
” Xiong Tingbi knew that the test was coming, his brows tightened, he pondered for a while, and then said solemnly: "The lower officials think that we should keep it!"
” Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Shou?
Now the adults in the court are thinking about how to recover Shen and Yang and pacify Liaodong, but you are just thinking about guarding?
” Xiong Tingbi's face became more and more serious, and he looked at Zhu Xu and said: "Your Highness, Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, and the cavalry of the Jin people is vertical and horizontal, coming and going without a trace.
I have no cavalry in the Ming Dynasty, and the military discipline is lax, and I am full of cowardice from top to bottom.
Therefore, the lower officials believe that the top priority now is to consolidate the border and defend the military and government. ” Zhu Xu nodded quietly, this point of view was in line with his taste, if he shouted Yuan Chonghuan's 'Five Years of Pingliao' a few years later, he would have to kick him out.
Zhu Xu looked at him with interest and said with a smile, "In addition to the internal cultivation of military politics, is there anything else?"
” Seeing that it aroused the interest of His Royal Highness King Hui, Xiong Tingbi breathed a sigh of calm and said: "The lower official thinks that the Tatars should be encircled, let them continue to invade the Jin people, and consume each other, and when my Ming military strength recovers, it will definitely be able to draw a war under the advantages of one and the other!"
” At this time, Akito was still very arrogant.
Zhu Xu sighed in his heart, but self-confidence is better than inferiority, and he said noncommittally to Xiong Tingbi's words: "Do you know that there are many excerpts in the recent impeachment of North Korean Mao Wenlong?
” Zhu Xu's voice fell, and Cao Wenzhao on the side suddenly felt in his heart, everything was connected.
"It turns out that His Highness wants Lord Xiong to go to North Korea......
Cao Wenzhao glanced at Xiong Tingbi, who was still silent, and was secretly happy in his heart.
Although it is not as good as the previous governor of Pingliao, but after all, it is a guilty body, and such a comeback is already very good.
Xiong Tingbi also vaguely guessed what Zhu Xu meant, and said tentatively: "What does Your Highness mean that you want the lower officials to replace Lord Mao?"
” Mao Wenlong acted recklessly in North Korea, arrogant and domineering, did I don't know how many things out of line, ate empty salaries, killed good people and took meritorious deeds, and even bullied the whole of North Korea, which has long caused dissatisfaction in the court, and the voice of impeachment has been endless, if it were not for Yuan Keli, the governor of Penglai, I am afraid that he would have been arrested and beheaded.
Zhu Xu thought more about not letting the North Korean side lose its role, and needed a competent person to organize, although it could not be expected to have much effect, but at least it was necessary to make the Jin people scruple and not go all out to the south.
"Not bad."
Zhu Xu nodded, looking directly at him.
Xiong Tingbi was a little hesitant on his face, he was not afraid to go to Liaodong, but he just took over from Mao Wenlong to do some military training, and he always felt a little idle or overused.
Zhu Xu was not in a hurry, did not make a sound, and waited for him to reply.
After a while, Xiong Tingbi looked at him and said, "Your Highness, Xiong is willing to go, and I hope that Your Highness will plan for me!"
” They are all ambitious people.
Zhu Xu muttered to himself in his heart, and then stood up with a smile and said, "Okay, then after Lord Xiong goes back, contact the old man and give Lord Mao a big wave." ” Xiong Tingbi didn't say anything about the people who dragged mud and water, and bowed down with his fists and said: "If you can make it, the lower officials will definitely be grateful!"
” Zhu Xu chucked slightly, didn't say much, and said, "Lao Cao, send Lord Xiong out." ” Cao Wenzhao agreed, and said, "Lord Xiong, please." ” Xiong Tingbi still had a lot to ask, so he had no choice but to say goodbye and follow Cao Wenzhao's men downstairs.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Xiong Tingbi stopped Cao Wenzhao, looked upstairs, and asked in a low voice: "Wenzhao, tell me honestly, can it really be done?"
” Cao Wenzhao laughed and said, "My lord, don't worry, as long as Your Highness is willing to do it, there is nothing you can't do!"

” Xiong Tingbi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I believe you."
It's really going to be, His Royal Highness has orders in the future, and Xiong has nothing to say!
” Cao Wenzhao was just about to open his mouth politely, when his heart suddenly moved, and a shocking thought suddenly appeared in his heart: His Royal Highness is laying out Liaodong!
Thinking about a series of firearms and cannons, Cao Wenzhao was more affirmative, and changed his words when he came to his lips: "My lord still has to do something for His Highness to see." ” Xiong Tingbi's words just now were out of his heart, but he didn't want to surrender, but listening to Cao Wenzhao's solicitation, he was slightly stunned and said: "Please tell Your Highness, Xiong will definitely not disappoint Your Highness!"
