Seeing the Taoist who claimed to be of the Huashan Sect in front of him, when he talked about the key point of the matter, even Wei Zhongxian, who was still vigilant and fearful, couldn't help but look sideways, not to mention the Emperor of the Apocalypse who had been deeply troubled by the decisions of Liaodong and was bombarded by those ministers with various remarks all day long!

At this time, the young emperor, who was only in his twenties, looked at the Taoist in front of him and seemed to be more and more pleasing to the eyes.

Of course, Gao Jingfei didn't mean to deliberately scare these two people, but usually as an outsider, if he wanted to see the emperor's face, it would be impossible not to make a little movement, and he didn't want to make a name for himself among the elite in the capital like those Taoist monks in history, and then let some people introduce him to His Majesty the Emperor, which was too time-consuming.

As a modern person who pays attention to efficiency, Gao Jingfei feels that it is better to be direct.

What's more, in the other world, he and Zhu Youxiao are brothers, and they also have a good relationship with Wei Zhongxian, plus he has a close relationship with the canonization of the Dongning Kingdom and the luck of the Ming Dynasty, so the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Wei Zhongxian both had a sense of cordiality after seeing Gao Jingfei, and he didn't have the same feeling when he saw these two people?

The action of force is mutual, and the same is true of the way of luck.

After this question and answer, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had a lot of good feelings and curiosity about the Daoist in front of him, and even Wei Zhongxian let go of some of his worries in his heart, but he still maintained a certain vigilance.

I saw Zhu Youxiao pointing to the position of his head and said:

"Big companion, go and ask someone to move a stool and give a seat to Qin Daoren!"

Wei Zhongxian was just about to summon him, when he saw Gao Jingfei saluting slightly:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, don't bother Duke Wei."

As he spoke, a solid wood chair appeared out of thin air in front of him, and Gao Jingfei sat down generously.

These were all things he kept in his few personal spaces and locked worlds, and sometimes he forgot how much was inside.

Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes slightly, but he still didn't open his mouth to scold.

It is rare to be able to sit firmly in front of the emperor with such a big grin, strictly speaking, this person has already lost his dignity in front of the king, because it is generally the vassal kings of various places or several of the top Ming princes and cabinet ministers, no matter what they think in their hearts, they are also careful in front of the emperor and only dare to sit on half of his ass.

However, Zhu Youxiao was very surprised by this ability to take things out of thin air, you must know that such a big chair is not a trick that can be made out of tricks, let alone a trick to fool people, ordinary spells are suppressed by luck in front of the emperor, and they are basically impossible to cast.

So the emperor spoke:

"Why did the Taoist come to the Forbidden Palace?"

According to the emperor's thinking, in general, in addition to asking to see him, most of them have something to ask for, and Wei Zhongxian on the side also nodded secretly.

The emperor of his family is smart, and he immediately asked the point.

Facing the searching gaze of the two, Gao Jingfei raised his hand and stretched out two fingers:

"I have come here for two things, asking Your Majesty's permission."

Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly, as expected, so he said:

"Taoists can talk about it."

"One is to pardon Xiong Tingbi's crimes, and the other is to pardon Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou!"

Zhu Youxiao was immediately extremely surprised when he heard this, glanced at Wei Zhongxian, who had the same expression, and then couldn't help but ask with a strange face:

"If you want to intercede for Xiong Tingbi, he is also a meritorious minister to the Ming Dynasty, and it doesn't hurt if he pardons him, but I remember that the Donglin party has a lot of attacks on Xiong Tingbi, which side are you on?"

Wei Zhongxian was also angry in his heart.

If nothing else, you must know that the two sides of the man to save, they are his opponents!

Gao Jingfei imitated the appearance of some characters in TV series strategizing, but said unhurriedly:

"Back to Your Majesty, Qin does not occupy any side, but stands above the interests of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Youxiao was interested after hearing this, and said with a smile:

"Oh? Then let's talk about it first, how to stand above my Ming interests! ”

Gao Jingfei smiled.

"Let's talk about Xiong Tingbi first, may I ask Duke Wei, what is his charge against Xiong Barbarian?"

Wei Zhongxian heard the words and said secretly: "You also know that he is a bear barbarian? ”

In fact, he and Xiong Tingbi themselves did not have a holiday, but the following henchmen were refuted by Xiong someone, and they held a grudge, so they slandered in front of Wei Zhongxian, plus Xiong Tingbi thought that his temper was very stinky and he had the title of Xiong Barbarian, and he didn't bother to talk to Wei Zhongxian and explain to Wei Zhongxian, so the two sides didn't like each other, and Liang Zi ended up like this.

It's complicated, but that's the reason for it in the first place.

In his heart, he couldn't wait for Xiong Tingbi to be directly questioned, but Wei Zhongxian said with a businesslike appearance:

"Isn't the defeat of Guangning the sin of Xiong Tingbi?"

Smart as he didn't say that those empty salaries and other crimes are not serious, even he knows that most of them are framed by others, and it has long become a practice to eat some empty salaries in the Ming officialdom, Xiong Manzi has to say that he is still more beautiful than others in this regard, even if he asks the court for money and eats empty salaries, most of them are used to raise soldiers such as the standard camp, and he is greedy without filling his own pockets.

Therefore, he only said a little about the crime of losing Quang Ninh City, which is very fatal.

You must know that Guangning City is not a small city in Liaodong, after the loss of the capital Liaoyang, Guangning is one of the leading big cities outside the Guan, and it is also the acropolis of the left, middle and right guards of Guangning, and it is a real military town in Liaodong. At the same time, there is also a Zhendong Hall in Guangning City, which is the "meeting house" of the governor of Liaodong, the eunuch of Liaodong town and the chief military officer of Liaodong.

Therefore, Quang Ninh can be said to be the highest military and political organ in Liaodong after the loss of a large area of territory.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty have the responsibility to defend the land, and most of the people who have lost the county and abandoned the city and fled will lose their heads, let alone an important town like Guangning City?

Who knew that the man sneered:

"Guangning amassed 130,000 troops, and millions of quintals of grain and grass, all of which were handed over to the governor Wang Huazhen to manage. The Donglin Party did everything possible to drive away Xiong Tingbi and push his own people up, not to kill Tartars and make meritorious deeds, but to pay millions of military salaries every year! ”

As soon as these words came out, the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but look ugly.

Wei Zhongxian was pleasantly surprised, but he asked:

"Qin Daoren, it is a big crime to slander the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China! What evidence do you have? ”

Lao Wei wished that the Taoist in front of him would come up with evidence to add a fire to the emperor's heart, so that his plan to eradicate his old rival would be smoother.

Gao Jingfei glanced at Wei Zhongxian with a smile, and then said:

"Xiong Manzi only has 5,000 reinforcements of the Liao army, stationed in Youtun, only forty miles away from Guangning. He, Wang Huazhen, was suddenly coerced by three or four million Liao people, and all of a sudden he was defeated and retreated, and he dared to ask the Duke, if it was you, what should I do with only 5,000 men and horses? ”

Wei Zhongxian was dumbfounded.

Oh, yes! In other words, in the face of the impact of the rout of millions of refugees, he only brought 5,000 soldiers and horses, and it was already a blessing to invite heaven if he did not retreat with him, and he could still expect his old Wei to lead people to block the impact without moving, and then the wall could not be held?

Emperor Apocalypse also figured it out, in this way, where is Xiong Tingbi's sin?

It's not that he can't figure out these things, but at first he was confused by the various information pollution of the officials below, and he was also preconceived, thinking that Xiong Tingbi's command was not effective, so he lost Guangning City. When he came back to the scene and figured it out, it was estimated that Xiong Tingbi would be afraid that his body would rot at that time.

This is still the year of the apocalypse, and the emperor who controls the factory guard is not too blind, if Chongzhen is replaced and the factory guard is abolished, it is estimated that the group of people who are fooled by the civil officials below will have to come back to their senses after several years, and they slap themselves and say why are they so stupid!

Seeing the demeanor of the two, Gao Jingfei continued:

"It is said that the first duty of defending the territory is Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, but after the incident, there are many people who are unhappy with the public opinion in the DPRK and China, and there are many voices accusing the Xiong Barbarians, except that the Xiong Barbarians are tough and arrogant and do not go with them, the biggest reason is nothing more than interests!"

"Let me ask Your Majesty and Wei Governor again, the Ming Dynasty is rich in the world, but where are the taxes?"
