The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 642: Fight between the Two Parties - The Head of the Nine Frontiers
On the canopy.

In the Huangji Palace.

Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon throne.

His Highness and his ministers were clamoring.

On the civil officials' side, a censor pointed directly at the Minister of War.

"The military chief who advocates war should be executed!"

An old minister's face changed when he heard this, and he beat his chest and stamped his feet to argue with him.

On the general's side, a big man shouted loudly:

"I am not as afraid of death as Xiong Tingbi. I am willing to go to the pass to resist the enemy!"

The surrounding generals expressed their willingness to lead their troops to Shanhaiguan.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the noisy scene and waved his hand for silence.

After the ministers gradually calmed down, he spoke:

"Prime Minister, you wrote on the draft that Xiong Tingbi would be useful. What does that mean?"

The leading minister stepped out and bowed his head, saying:

"Your Majesty, Xiong Tingbi was guilty of abandoning the border according to the law, but his military affairs seemed to be better than Wang Huazhen's."

Zhu Youxiao sneered and said sarcastically:

"Indeed, Xiong Tingbi walked fast and won."

The old minister remained silent and said nothing.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at him and continued:
"Bring Xiong Tingbi to court for questioning."

"Announce the order to the whole country: whoever captures Nurhaci will be granted the title of Duke, and whoever captures his son will be granted the title of Marquis, both of which will be hereditary. If any of the leaders or the chief of the rebellion are captured, they will also be granted the title of Earl."

"besides……"

Zhu Youxiao stood up, looked at the people in the hall and said coldly:
"These officials, governors, prefects, and generals should all be brought to justice."

"Immediately send someone to tell the Right Censor-in-Chief to order the Liaodong officers to go out of the border to defend and recover the area. Allow them to atone for their sins."

"The national law has been lenient. If you violate it again, I will not forgive you!"

……

[On the tenth day of April in the second year of the reign of Emperor Tianqi of the Ming Dynasty (1622), Yuan Keli, a veteran of three dynasties and the Right Censor-in-Chief, was appointed as the governor of Denglai.]

[On the 17th, Wang Ji, the Minister of Justice, Zou Yuanbiao, the Left Censor-in-Chief, and Zhou Yingqiu, the Minister of the Supreme Court, held two joint trials of Xiong and Wang.]

[Compared with the previous governors Yang Hao and Yuan Yingtai, it is determined that "compared with Yang Hao, he escaped one more time, and compared with Yuan Yingtai, he owed one death."]

【Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen were both sentenced to death.】

【Zhu Youxiao drafted it accordingly.】

……

{The reason why Xiong Tingbi did not fight for Guangning was because he really hated Wang Huazhen's actions and believed that he had no responsibility in the matter.}
{At the same time, he may have hoped to use this angry way to awaken the civil and military officials in the court to realize his talents and make use of them.}
{What kind of brain puncture would it take to say such a thing?}
{Getting excited! Looking at the Donglin Party at that time?!}

{What a bunch of idiots. Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen met on the 20th day of the first lunar month. Nurhaci was slaughtering cattle at Shaling to offer sacrifices to the flag. Nurhaci stayed at Shaling for the next two days, accepting the surrenders of Ming army officers from all over the country. He entered Guangning on the 24th day of the first lunar month.}
{That is to say, after Xiong Tingbi arrived in Luyang, he had a two-day window to march into Guangning to quell the rebellion.}
{But he didn't fire a single shot, which was a dereliction of duty!}

{Historical records show that Nurhaci dispatched about 50,000 to 60,000 troops this time. All of Wang Huazhen's troops collapsed, and Nurhaci's troops did not suffer much damage at all. At this time, you say that these 5,000 Ming troops will fight against 50,000 Eight Banners?}

{Let's see what is called talking about war on paper. Xiong Tingbi later wrote a memorial to plead guilty: "However, the 5,000 soldiers and horses I followed have not had food for two days. I saw the soldiers and civilians of Guangning fleeing westward in droves, all ready to make another move. The generals were afraid of changes and asked me to leave again. I still rebuked Hu and Han Dao and refused. I wanted to stay overnight before leaving. I quickly ordered the two Daos to go out of the camp in person and comforted them in many ways. However, the two Daos were unwilling to stay when they saw the soldiers' hearts were moved. I then gave them the order to 'go', and I left."}
{When the situation was hopeless, the morale of his subordinates was in turmoil. I was afraid that the day Xiong Tingbi ordered his troops to march into Guangning, the troops would all scatter. Could it be that he was sent to Guangning alone to die?}

……

The period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty
Xu Pingjun stroked Hu'er's head and sighed softly:
"Perhaps Xiong Tingbi defending Luyang alone, dying in battle or committing suicide like Yuan Yingtai, would be the most perfect ending for a court official."

Liu Bingyi looked at Hu'er playing foolishly and said helplessly:
"Because he is unwilling to give up."

"He governs Liaodong and has good defense skills, but the people under him take advantage of his connections in the court and ignore him."

"But after this man underestimated the enemy and rushed forward rashly and suffered defeat, he wanted to apologize to the world himself."

Liu Bingyi shook his head and said:
“No one is doing this business.”

Xu Pingjun stroked her eldest son and sighed:
"The emperor also tolerated him."

Liu Bingyi looked at the sky quietly.

The emperor's attitude was very clear.

……

Ji Han.

Sun Quan held the wine glass and said to Cao Cao:
"As the governor of a place, you abandoned the city and fled when facing the Hu tribe. The end result is death anyway, so you might as well give it a try! There may be a glimmer of hope to turn defeat into victory. Even if you lose, it is much better than leaving a bad name behind."

Cao Cao stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"What Zhongmou said makes sense. As the person in charge of the Liaodong defense line and the one who proposed the Liaodong strategy, he should have thought of the outcome of defeat when he proposed and was appointed to implement the strategy in Liaodong."

"But let's give it a try..." "If the frontier governor loses territory, he will be killed, but all the soldiers have fled. Can the frontier governor still fight against the Jin soldiers alone?"

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Liu Bei drank the wine in depression, and uttered something after a while.

"What a frontier official, he is just a scapegoat."

……

[What is quite bizarre is that after the Donglin Party impeached Xiong Tingbi and put him in prison, they repeatedly asked the emperor for mercy.]

【The eunuch party wanted to put him to death. 】

[In May of the fifth year of the Tianqi reign (1625), the Donglin Party lost power, and the censors Men Kexin, Shi Sanwei and others successively submitted petitions requesting the execution of Xiong Tingbi.]

[On August 25, Tianqi officially issued a death edict to execute Xiong Tingbi.]

[The gist of the edict was that Xiong Tingbi was raised in the fields by Emperor Wanli and was entrusted with important tasks. At the beginning of Emperor Tianqi's reign, he always used illness as an excuse to shirk his responsibilities and acted stubbornly, which led to the loss of Hexi.]

[It wasted millions of dollars of the country's money, and millions of soldiers and civilians died, leading to the rebellion in Sichuan and chaos in Shandong.]

【And there were a large number of people who accepted bribes and formed a clique to rescue him, which made people hate him to the core. Xiong Tingbi lost his army and humiliated the country, and his crimes were full of evil and unforgivable.】

……

On the canopy.

In the dirty and messy imperial prison, Xiong Tingbi, dressed in prison clothes, received the imperial edict and opened his mouth to speak.

The minister who issued the decree spoke in advance:

"Zhigang lost the frontier, he deserves death, what else do you have to say? And what is that hanging on your head?"

Xiong Tingbi looked down and pointed at a torn bag on his chest and said:
"This is Shane Ben."

The minister smiled, folded his hands on his abdomen, leaned forward slightly and said:

"Doesn't Zhigang read the Biography of Li Si?"

"Is this prisoner qualified to write a letter?"

Xiong Tingbi glanced at him coldly:
"This is what Zhao Gao said."

……

Great Qin.

Ying Zheng's eyelids twitched.

Liu Bang opened his mouth and laughed wildly.

"Hahaha! Nai...I like him!"

“This guy is really interesting!”

Meng Tian sighed:
"At the last moment of his life, he still refused to give in. No wonder Xiong Tingbi is so hated."

Who is Zhao Gao?

This statement is obviously a satire on the eunuch party by Zhao Gao.

Unfortunately, the eunuch party is not just the eunuch party.

……

[Noon on August 25, the fifth year of the Tianqi reign.]

【Xiong Tingbi was beheaded in Xishi, his body was abandoned in the wilderness, and his head was sent to the nine borders.】

[Tianqi ordered Xiong Tingbi's family to be driven out of the capital, and Xiong Tingbi was investigated for embezzling 170,000 taels of military funds.]

[It happened that Xiong Tingbi's political enemy Yao Zongwen was sent to Huguang as an inspector, so he ordered Jiangxia County Magistrate Wang Eryu to pursue the stolen money.]

[Wang Eryu asked Xiong Tingbi's sons for sable fur and other valuables, but they could not produce them, so the king beat them with a stick.]

[The eldest son Xiong Zhaogui couldn't bear it and hanged himself. ]

[Xiong Tingbi's wife was taken to the lobby by Wang Eryu, stripped and beaten, and subjected to all kinds of humiliation.]

[Daughter Xiong Hu suffered a family tragedy and became so angry that she vomited blood and died.]

【At the end of the Tianqi reign, Yao Zongwen reported that he had seized 20,000 taels of stolen silver. 】

……

Ming Dynasty Jiajing Period
Zhu Houcong slowly closed his eyes.

The ministers in the palace said nothing.

It’s over.
