"I've kept you waiting for a long time."
Huang Xiao stepped in and greeted everyone with a smile.
In the Qianqing Palace, Wei Zhongxian, Xiong Tingbi, Wang Zheng, Song Yingxing, Shi Kefa, Liu An, Zhang Fugen, Chen Jiawu, Wang Ergou and others stood up and saluted.
Zhang Yan came over soon.
Everyone greeted him again.
Zhang Yan said: "Everyone, please don't be restrained and sit down."
Everyone sat down, Zhang Fugen, Wang Ergou and others all sat down in a daze. They never expected that they could enter the palace, and even enter the emperor's chamber where the emperor discussed matters!
And Xiong Tingbi was even more shocked!
In February of the second year of Tianqi's reign, he was sentenced to prison. It has been three and a half years since then. He later thought that he would never be released from prison.
Who knew it would come so quickly!
After being escorted all the way to the palace, Xiong Tingbi was shocked by everything in the palace!
All the guards have been replaced, and entry and exit are extremely strict!
After entering the Qianqing Palace, among the many people in the room, he only knew Wei Zhongxian and Wang Zheng. The others, especially Wang Ergou and others, looked like ordinary people, which made Xiong Tingbi curious.
Everyone was talking in low voices, Xiong Tingbi stood tall, but did not ask anyone else.
After Zhang Yan came over, Xiong Tingbi knelt on the ground.
"The guilty minister Xiong Tingbi pays his respects to the empress."
Zhang Yan said: "Xiong Jinglue is a man of ordinary age. Today I invite you to discuss matters. I am Zhongyi waiting for Huang Xiao's proposal. Huang Xiao, please come and discuss matters with Xiong Jinglue."
Xiong Tingbi was stunned and looked at the young man next to Zhang Yan. He saw that the man was handsome and white as jade, dressed in simple and decent clothes, and was looking at him with a warm smile on his face.
"I have seen Zhongyihou."
Xiong Tingbi was very surprised by the title of Marquis Zhongyi. You must know that there are very few marquises nowadays, and this person is so young, he is probably not even twenty years old, and the surname Huang is obviously not a noble.
Huang Xiaodao: "Master Xiong, you don't need to be polite. Sit down and talk. You are not responsible for the war in Guangning. I have already suggested that the empress order Wang Huazhen to be executed! Let's put aside the right and wrong of the past. I hope you can learn a lesson in the future and quit." Be patient and work hard!"
Xiong Tingbi was shocked!
Because of the defeat in Guangning, Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen each held different opinions, and Wang Huazhen was a member of the Donglin Party. At the insistence of Donglin leader Ye Xianggao at the time, Wang Huazhen was almost acquitted!
But at this moment, just one sentence from Huang Xiao was enough to make the conclusion!
This power is truly at its peak!
"Thank you to your Majesty and the Marquis for clearing away the grievances of the guilty minister. I will do my best and die!"
Xiong Tingbi knelt down and thanked him.
Huang Xiaodao: "Master Xiong has just come out. You don't know the major events in the court yet. You can read the newspaper first and find out more. I will have other plans later."
Song Yingxing gave a newspaper to Xiong Tingbi.
Then he presented two sample manuscripts to Zhang Yan and Huang Xiao respectively.
All three began to read.
At first glance, Xiong Tingbi saw the large bold characters on the cover, "A Letter to the People of the Ming Dynasty"
After reading a few lines of words, his tiger eyes suddenly widened!
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty has been killed!"
He was fifty-seven years old, tall and tall, with a beard all over his face. He was so shaken that he couldn't help shouting. His voice was thick and high, and everyone looked over for a while.
I saw tears streaming down his face, holding the newspaper hard with both hands, his body trembling, obviously in a very agitated mood!
Everyone felt something, and the atmosphere was filled with sadness and anger.
Wang Zheng advised: "Xiong Jinglue, don't be sad. His Majesty is only seriously injured and has not recovered. Now that the empress and Zhongyi are in charge, everything will be fine!"
Xiong Tingbi reluctantly nodded his thanks and continued reading the newspaper with tears in his eyes.
Zhang Yan and Huang Xiao also started reading. After a while, Zhang Yan and Huang Xiao finished reading.
Zhang Yan smiled faintly, her face flushed slightly, and said, "Mr. Song, you wrote this palace very well."
Huang Xiao laughed and said: "That's how the image of the empress is. Mr. Song wrote well. I won't be polite if you praise my article. Haha, well written!"
Song Yingxing smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is not a random fabrication. Your concern for the people in Dahuangzhuang is obvious to all. The things in this article are all based on facts. As for Mr. Huang, there are even more things that can be written about in a big way. There are too many. If we weren’t afraid of being overly popular, I would have liked to publish more of them!”
Huang Xiao nodded with a smile and said: "From now on, the image of the empress and your majesty must be based on facts, with rhetorical techniques, and more efforts must be made! Fully promote it!"
Shi Kefa and Song Yingxing quickly recorded it.
Huang Xiaodao: "In addition, let's add a solemn statement to the effect of rebuking the slaves, being ungrateful, ambitious, and so on. If you do something that is outrageous to both humans and gods, God will definitely punish you! Well, soon, you will surely burn yourself while playing with fire."
Huang Xiao added: "After adding it, print it immediately. There is no need to send it again! Mr. Song, Mr. Wang, you organize the students of Dahuangzhuang College to act as newspaper boys and sell them throughout the city tomorrow morning. You don't need to do any subsequent newspaper business. Take charge of it, fully develop Dahuangzhuang’s business, and fully support Tianjin Wei’s railway construction and even the research and manufacturing of trains.”
Song Yingxing and Wang Zheng took the orders.
"Master Xiong." Huang Xiao shouted.
Xiong Tingbi came back to his senses and choked up: "Your Majesty was killed by a traitor. I am so angry! Fortunately, Lord Marquis turned the tide and saved the building from falling! I am so lucky for the Ming Dynasty!"
Having said this, he stood up and solemnly saluted Huang Xiao again, saying: "I admire the great things that the Marquis has done for the country and the people! I have nothing to do with you, but I will do my best! !”
Huang Xiao nodded and said: "Master Xiong, don't be like this. I happen to have something here that requires Master Xiong to handle! Master Xiong is from Jiangxia, Huguang. This time, Master Xiong is asked to go to Huaiyuan County, Fengyang Prefecture, and he is the county magistrate. Zhu Chunchen Yu Huaiyuan has hundreds of thousands of hectares of farmland. His sins are so serious that all the land must be taken over as state-owned land!"
"Master Xiong has experience in resettling Liao people in Liaodong. He is from Huguang and is close to Fengyang. He is familiar with local customs and customs. He is the best candidate. I will assign a sentry to take office with you!"
Xiong Tingbi said loudly: "You must be valued by the Marquis! I will definitely handle this matter!"
Huang Xiao nodded and said, "Zhang Fugen!"
Zhang Fugen played the ball, gave a military salute, and said loudly: "Here we come!"
He had originally been appointed by Liu Ping as Minister of Agriculture in Tianjin, but at his strong request, he resigned as Minister of Agriculture and was replaced by Sun Xiudao, who had a superior assessment!
"Your third sentry will follow Mr. Xiong to Huaiyuan to take office. Everything will be done in accordance with the rules of Dahuang Village! After taking over Zhu Chunchen's land, immediately set up a farm and recruit new soldiers to establish the Huaiyuan Army! The number is tentatively set at 5,000 people!!"
"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"
Huang Xiao shouted: "Xiong Tingbi, Zhang Fugen!"
Xiong Tingbi also imitated Zhang Fugen and shouted loudly.
Huang Xiao said seriously: "The rules of our Dahuang Village are set by Your Majesty! They are set by the people of the world! Anyone who does not abide by the rules, no matter who it is, you can kill first and then follow up! All the old rules of the past will be smashed by me. ! I hope that soon, I will get the news that the people of Huaiyuan County live and work in peace and contentment, and that it will cover the surrounding areas! And Huaiyuan is under the direct jurisdiction of the empress and will no longer be under the jurisdiction of Fengyang Mansion!"
"yes!"
Xiong Tingbi and Zhang Fugen were both excited and responded loudly.
Huang Xiao looked at Zhang Yan, who took a step forward and said, "Wei Daban, draw up the decree!"
Wei Zhongxian quickly completed the imperial edict.
Zhang Yan used the big seal and said: "This imperial edict from this palace is what you rely on! I also give Shang Fang a sword to Xiong Tingbi. I hope you and Zhang Fugen will unite sincerely and serve the people of the Ming Dynasty in Huguang. Support a bright and clear sky!"
"My lord! Accept the decree!"
Huang Xiao asked Yueniang to take the charter she had just written and gave it to Xiong Tingbi, saying: "The specific operations are all here. Our method of doing things is different from the past. If there is anything unclear along the way, you can discuss it with Zhang Fugen. You can prepare now. Come on, leave as soon as possible!"
