The emperor is ill, this is the latest news coming from the palace, and he seems to be seriously ill. Most of the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital have gone away.

So the court once again had a very bad premonition, that is, something might happen to His Majesty today, right? Ming Dynasty cannot withstand two twists and turns.

There is no reason why the ministers should not be worried about this, because there is a precedent for this!

The late emperor passed away just one month after he ascended the throne. You can't help but make people think about it. People in the capital suddenly became panicked.

Wei Zhongxian's actions did not stop, and the interrogation of Feng Sanyuan, Wei Yingjia and Zhang Xiude continued.

Inside the prison in Dongchang, Wei Zhongxian was sitting on a chair, drinking tea expressionlessly, with a proud smile on his face.

My guess is indeed correct. The emperor wants to use Xiong Tingbi's incident to sway the people in the court. Let's see how you still impeach me, Old Wei, after this time.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian saw Sun Yunhe, the prisoner of the Thousand Households in Dongchang, walking out of the house.

Seeing that Sun Yunhe's expression was not very good, Wei Zhongxian's face instantly darkened, and he asked in a cold voice: "Didn't you ask?"

Hearing Wei Zhongxian's words, Sun Yunhe looked a little embarrassed, and he quickly bowed and said: "Back to my father-in-law, these people have very hard mouths. They beat me for a long time, but it still has no effect."

Sun Yunhe said with a slight hesitation: "Why don't you go to prison?"

Facing Wei Zongxian, Sun Yunhe did not dare to make any mistakes.

This person is very popular now. He is the most popular person in front of His Majesty, not to mention that he is his immediate boss. Sun Yunhe can't even get enough of him!

After glaring at Sun Yunhe, Wei Zhongxian cursed angrily: "Trash!" As he said that, Wei Zhongxian asked with a sullen face: "How are you doing?"

"I fainted." Sun Yunhe said again, his face still very embarrassed.

Wei Zhongxian spun around in place a few times, then turned around suddenly, with a sinister look on his face and a cold look in his eyes: "Can you endure the severe punishment?"

Sun Yunhe hesitated for a long time before speaking: "These three people are very weak. Once they are sentenced to severe punishment, it will be hard to say, and they may be dead."

"Trash!" Wei Zhongxian cursed again and said angrily: "People cannot die, but confessions must be obtained, and they must reveal the mastermind behind the scenes. I tell you, the emperor is watching our family run errands.

If our errand goes wrong this time, none of you will be able to get better. Go and continue the interrogation. We will ask for a confession, but the person must still be alive."

Although he was complaining in his heart, Sun Yunhe did not dare to refute or even say anything else. He could only say with a serious expression: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will get a confession if I am alive."

After saying this, Sun Yunhe turned around and walked into the prison.

The situation in the capital was chaotic and turbulent, because Xiong Tingbi had caused a lot of troubles, but Xiong Tingbi didn't know about them. At this time, he had already rushed to Shenyang.

Shenyang in February was not as good as the capital. It was still cold and freezing. A carriage creaked forward on the snow. Xiong Tingbi was sitting in the carriage with his hands stretched out on the stove to warm himself.

"Damn, after all these years in Liaodi, it's better to go back home." Just as he was complaining, Xiong Tingbi sneezed very loudly and said dissatisfied: "If we don't fight quickly, I will feel uncomfortable all over!"

"Sir, we are here." The accompanying soldiers said loudly.

"It's finally here, I've been suffocated these days." Xiong Tingbi muttered, opened the door curtain and jumped out of the car.

As soon as I got off the bus, a bunch of officials gathered around me to inquire about my welfare.

"Master Xiong, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"

"Ahhh! Sneeze!" Xiong Tingbi smelled the strange fragrance of the visitor and sneezed again. He moved aside calmly and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

"Sir, please finish the hot soup. My wife made it myself." Another official opened the food box in his hand.

Xiong Tingbi took a closer look and saw that the bowl of chicken soup was still steaming. However, he never liked chicken, so he gave it up without interest.

A line of soldiers and horses came out of Shenyang City, and a hearty laughter came from the city gate, "Your Excellency, you made it easy for me to wait."

Hearing the familiar voice, Xiong Tingbi's frown relaxed slightly. He got rid of everyone and greeted with a smile: "Brother Li Xian."

The man whom Xiong Tingbi calls Li Xiandi is named Li Guangrong, and his official position is Liaodong General Soldier.

Although this person is the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, he serves as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong together with Li Ruzhen. It can be said that his status is far inferior to that of Li Ruzhen, or that he is a person with the same status.

The imperial court appointed Li Guangrong for a simple purpose, which was to split and check and balance Li Ruzhen.

When Xiong Tingbi was in power, Li Guangrong could still be used in his favor, but when Xiong Tingbi left, Li Guangrong was squeezed out again.

You must know that the Donglin Party relies heavily on the Li family in Liaodong, and the removal of Xiong Tingbi was actually done by Li Ruzhen and the Donglin Party.

Historically, Li Ruzhen had a close relationship with the Donglin Party. When the Qing army attacked Tieling, he supported the troops but refused to support him, which led to the fall of Tieling and he was dismissed from office. At the beginning of Tianqi, he was imprisoned and discussed with death. In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen commemorated Li Chengliang's merits, especially Avoid death and join the army.

Li Ruzhen was imprisoned without being killed or released. This was like being a hostage to prevent the Li family's old generals in Liaodong from causing trouble in Liaodong.

After Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, the Donglin Party once again exerted force, and Li Ruzhen was pardoned and released from prison to join the army.

For Li Ruzhen, this basically means putting him back. The military is his territory, and this is where the Donglin Party contributes.

Originally, Xiong Tingbi was expelled and Yuan Yingtai took over as Liaodong manager. The next step was to bring back Li Ruzhen.

The Donglin Party can even shout out such words as "Ping Liao must be Yuan Manzi", let alone get back a Li Ruzhen?

It's just that in the original history, before the Donglin Party started to take action, Liaodong collapsed, Shenyang and Liaoyang fell, and Yuan Yingtai committed suicide. Naturally, there was no way to get Li Ruzhen back.

Although it has not reached that point yet, Xiong Tingbi came to Liaodong to replace Yuan Yingtai, and Li Ruzhen was taken to the capital and imprisoned. The Donglin Party's arrangements in Liaodong were completely lost.

The happiest person here is naturally Li Guangrong. His opportunity has come again. He has been at odds with Yuan Yingtai for a long time. Now that Xiong Tingbi is here, he doesn't have to think too much and runs out to greet him.

Xiong Tingbi looked at Li Guangrong, his face naturally happy. With Li Rongguang here, he could quickly stabilize the situation after arriving in Liaodong.

Naturally, the two people had mixed feelings when they met. After a brief chat, Xiong Tingbi said directly: "Come on, accompany me to the Jinglue Yamen."

Naturally, this trip was to convey the decree, and it was also to complete the handover of duties. Only after completing this step could Xiong Tingbi officially take up the post of Liaodong Manager and become the official highest military commander of Liaodong.
