Chapter 295: Eunuchs are prone to death
  Is the imperial court going to use troops against Puzhou?

Xiong Tingbi raised his eyebrows.

"You are just a little thief. The imperial court has sent Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting to lead troops from Taiyuan and Kaifeng respectively. In less than a month, the world will be at peace." Wang Tiqian obviously couldn't afford the chaos in Puzhou Prefecture. I don't want to say anything more here.

However, anyone who is familiar with Ming Dynasty's military experience in recent years will not have anything to worry about this war.

Moreover, it was Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, two civilian officials who had recently emerged who were well versed in military affairs, who jointly strangled him. Why worry about the rebellious people remaining alive?
  At that time, Emperor Tianqi wanted the cabinet to select one of the two men as the leading military governor. Early this morning, he issued an order for the two men to lead the troops separately and attack from the north and the south together.

Why?

Just a little test of your skills!

"What? Master Xiong, do you still need time to think about it?" Wang Tiqian first glanced at the overflowing cup of tea, then raised his eyes to Xiong Tingbi: "Sometimes, when an opportunity comes and you fail to grasp it, you regret it later. "

Xiong Tingbi stood up slowly, walked to the door of the palace and paused, thinking silently, and did not speak for a long time.

Wang Tiqian was not in a hurry and just leaned on his chair to drink tea.

Switching from a regular scholar to an eunuch really requires some careful thinking.

After all, not everyone is as shameless as Wei Guangwei.

"You won't kill Ye Xianggao and others, right?" Standing at the threshold, Xiong Tingbi's voice was low and hoarse.

Hey.
  Hearing this, Wang Tiqian smiled and put down the tea cup in his hand: "What did Master Xiong say? We are officials in the same dynasty, and if we don't look up when we see each other, the most we can do is let them go back to their hometown to take care of themselves. How can we kill them all?"

Turning his head sideways, his eyes blocked by the gray hair hanging down from his forehead, Xiong Tingbi said: "After today, I don't know how future generations will evaluate Xiong if I cooperate with you and others."

Wang Tiqian put away his smile and looked at Xiong Tingbi: "Only by living can you see how the swordsman and penman 'write according to the facts,' right?"

"Thank you," Xiong Tingbi straightened his waist and raised his head, hoping that the long-lost sunlight would shine on his face.

After all, winter is about to pass and spring is coming.

"Someone will take you back to the house in a while. Everything has been arranged by the Governor. You just need to cooperate. The future will be long." Wang Tiqian stepped forward, reached out and patted Xiong Tingbi on the shoulder, and then walked away.

There is ample time?

Xiong Tingbi pursed his lips tightly, but the struggle in his eyes had disappeared, and all that was left was coldness.

Indeed, surviving is the most important thing.

At this time, several young men in green clothes walked over quickly, bowed and saluted Xiong Tingbi: "Master Xiong, the young men will carry you back to your home in a sedan chair."

Without answering the boy's words, Xiong Tingbi turned around, walked to the table just now, stared at it for a long time, picked up the overflowing tea, and finally raised his head and said something.

With a bang, the cup was placed on the table with a crisp sound.

The voice was ferocious and firm:
  "After today, it will be all over again!"

----

"I heard that there is going to be a war in Pingyang, Shanxi. The newly promoted political counselor and the Ministry of War, two civilian officials who are well versed in military affairs, have been transferred to quell the rebellion."

"Isn't that right? Even Mr. Yuan, who is working as a grain inspector in Kaifeng, Henan, has been temporarily assigned to assist Hong Chengchou in exterminating the bandits. This formation can be said to be a sure win!"

In recent days, everyone in the capital has been discussing the chaos in Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi, and people are talking a lot. However, after the Liaodong War to destroy the country, the self-confidence of the people of the Ming Dynasty has obviously increased, and there is no need to care about mere thieves. No matter how chaotic he is, will he be worth the tens of thousands of Jiannu's cavalry?

Otherwise, it would still be destroyed by the Ming Dynasty!
  However, some people hold a different view.

"Is it inevitable? I don't think so." By the window of the restaurant, several middle-aged men in brocade robes were discussing the recent war. The obviously older man in white shook his head.

"Zongfang is questioning our invincible army of the Ming Dynasty?" His companion was obviously dissatisfied with Zongfang's remarks.

Since the founding of the state and the destruction of the country, has the Ming Dynasty not been invincible in the world?
  "Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting attacked the thieves from the north and south. They looked like a lion fighting a rabbit. The question is, who is the main attacker and who is the flanker?" Zongfang shook his head and added: "Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting We are all heroes for a moment, who can conquer whom?"

"That's why the imperial court asked the two of them to attack the rebellious people from the north and the south without distinguishing the priority," the companion choked immediately after hearing this.

"Then I would like to ask, who is Yuan Chonghuan assisting?" Zongfang chuckled: "The dignified former Liaodong transit envoy and inspector, who is currently the governor of Henan, is going to assist a fifth-rank general affairs office to consult? Is it the imperial court? You really don’t take Mr. Yuan seriously.”

Zongfang's words caused everyone to fall silent for a while.

Yes, the matter of Yuan Chonghuan is a bit confusing.

Could it be that the great hero of Liaodong who destroyed the Jin Dynasty is not as good as a mere newly promoted court official?

In other words, anyone who has anything to do with the Duke of Qi is no longer welcome by the court.

Although Yuan Chonghuan was originally at odds with Qi Guogong - but in the current situation, who cares about this?

"Anyway, Zong is not optimistic about the Pingyang Mansion's quelling the chaos this time," Zong Fang shook his head with regret on his face.

"Yuan Yuan Yuan is said to have a strange temper. It was widely rumored that he strangled Mao Wenlong, who surrendered to the enemy, with his own hands. He was quite brave. If this battle was commanded by a small subordinate, I don't know whether it would be a blessing or a curse. ?”

While several people were talking, a boy ran up from downstairs, walked up to Zongfang, lowered his head and whispered a few words.

"what?"

After hearing what the boy said, Zongfang, who was still busy and quite leisurely, immediately stood up with a loud sound, raised his hand to apologize to his companions, and left in a hurry.

"What happened?" Several companions were a little confused.

Not long after, Zongfang, who had left the banquet, arrived at the gate of a mansion in the north of Juxianfang in a sedan chair. He entered the mansion immediately without any notification.

"Xiong Tingbi and the eunuchs have joined forces?" Zong Fang asked hurriedly as soon as he entered the door.

Shi Kefa, who was originally buzzing around the hall, raised his eyes and saw Zongfang entering the room, and nodded: "The news I just received, it seems that the eunuchs are preparing to attack everyone in the cabinet!"

Walking to the table, he picked up the tea cup and drank a few sips casually before sitting on the chair. Zongfang looked at Shi Kefa: "Do you want to write to Mr. Zuo Ge?"

"It takes too much time to go back and forth," Shi Kefa shook his head: "I actually think that this battle between the eunuch party and the cabinet is just an opportunity for me to wait for Donglin to rise again!"

"Making profits out of chaos?" Zongfang frowned: "This is seeking the skin of a tiger. After eunuchs like Wei Zhongxian clean up the cabinet, they will definitely clean up us!"

"Do you want to help Ye Xianggao?" Shi Kefa looked at Zongfang: "But, have you forgotten how he backstabbed my Donglin people back then? He cooperated with Wang Qi for the position of cabinet leader, and that's why the trouble is now out of control. situation!"

"Ten thousand steps back, Ye Xianggao and Sun Chengzong are always reasonable, but eunuchs can easily destroy themselves!"

Zongfang's tone was extremely firm: "My suggestion is to temporarily give up your prejudices and stand on the side of the Ye cabinet to protect the overall situation!"
