Zhu Xu came out of the Ganqing Palace and walked while thinking about receiving the North Korean mission.

The only vassal state in the Ming Dynasty is left. This loyal little brother came over, probably for the sake of the Later Jin Dynasty. However, he immediately thought of Mao Wenlong, who would be like the emperor in North Korea in the future, but unfortunately he was killed by Yuan Chonghuan.

"Where is Lao Cao?" Zhu Xu asked suddenly with his hands behind his back.

Cao Huachun followed Zhu Xu and said, "Go back to Your Highness, Commander Cao has just left the palace for something."

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "You send someone to inform the Honglu Temple, and you will say that I will go and see it in a few days and let them prepare to receive the North Korean mission."

"It's Your Highness." Cao Huachun said.

As the two of them said, they walked towards Jinghuan Palace.

At this moment, in a restaurant outside the palace, a young man knelt at Cao Wenzhao with an excited expression.

"General Cao, please save my father no matter what!" the young man said anxiously.

Cao Wenzhao hurriedly wanted to help him up and said, "Please get up, let's sit down and say anything if you have anything to do."

The young man was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but stood up but couldn't wait to say: "General Cao has the right to speak out. If he does not hand over the forty thousand taels of silver, his father will be executed immediately."

Cao Wenzhao helped him sit on the stool, but his expression became solemn.

The young man was named Xiong Guangyuan, who was a former Liaodong governor. Cao Wenzhao had been following him to fight before. If he had not been forced to leave by Zhu Xu earlier, he would probably have one more person in prison.

Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen were incompatible, which eventually led to Guangning's defeat. This was also the reason why the two of them were arrested and punished. The two were sentenced to death last year. However, there was a huge controversy in the court, and Xiong Tingbi communicated with Wang Wenyan, bribed the eunuch, and promoted it together, so it was not executed.

However, the court has changed drastically. Xiong Tingbi, a member of the Chu party, was expelled from the court. Although he had a good relationship with the Donglin party, it was the limit to ensure that he was not dead. It was difficult to save him. What's more, the person who was pushing to kill him now was the eunuch who had not received 40,000 taels of silver, and it was probably Wei Zhongxian's party.

Cao Wenzhao remained silent. Wei Zhongxian, even his master, His Highness Hui, was quite taboo to him. Can he save people from Wei Zhongxian?

‘Maybe, it depends on your highness’s intentions.’ Cao Wenzhao knew his own weight and felt thoughtful.

After all, Cao Wenzhao followed Xiong Tingbi for many years. Now that his son is asking for the door, he can't ignore him. After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked, "Who asked you to come to me?"

Cao Wenzhao had to worry that although His Highness Hui had done a big thing, he was still an unpowerful little prince in the end. How could he ask him for it?

Xiong Guangyuan was stunned and immediately said, "I don't know that he told me when I went to visit my father the day before yesterday."

Cao Wenzhao did not dare to be careless and said, "Okay, let's go with me to see the strategy."

When Xiong Guangyuan heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Yes, my nephew will take you there."

The two of them soon arrived at the Ministry of Justice prison, but they didn't stop them too much. They stuffed some silver and went in.

Cao Wenzhao looked at Xiong Tingbi, who was wearing prison clothes and disheveled hair, but still couldn't hide the roughness, and bowed and said, "I will pay homage to Lord Xiong, last time, Cao Wenzhao."

"Wenzhao?" Xiong Tingbi, who was sitting on the stone bed, saw him and walked over to look at him, and said in a rough voice: "It's really you?"

Cao Wenzhao also took a step closer and looked at Xiong Tingbi and said, "Sir, I am, sir, are you doing well recently?"

Xiong Tingbi was not tortured, so he tidied his hair and sighed: "I didn't expect that you would still be willing to come to see him. There were countless people in Liaodong, so you are the first one."

Xiong Tingbi was sentenced to death, and no one wanted to be involved with him. Who would come to see him at this time?

Cao Wenzhao also knew that he could not stay too much. He looked around and leaned straight into the subject and whispered: "Sir, I will find a way to save you. Tell me first, who asked you to find me?"

Xiong Tingbi was stunned for a moment, glanced around, and whispered: "It's Shangshu Sun."

"Shangshu Sun?" Cao Wenzhao pondered and quickly said: "Is it Mr. Sun Chengzong and Sun?"

Xiong Tingbi nodded.

Cao Wenzhao was clear and said, "Okay, sir, wait for a few days, I'll go around and try it."

Xiong Tingbi didn't want to die, and heard this, "Okay, whether it succeeds or not, I will inform me."

Cao Wenzhao agreed and left in a hurry.

Xiong Tingbi is now a big whirlpool, and anyone who gets close is unlucky. Cao Wenzhao is sensitive and pretends to be Xiong Guangyuan's follower, coming and going in a hurry.

"General Cao, I'll ask you for your father's affairs." After walking far away, Xiong Guangyuan bowed deeply to Cao Wenzhao.

Cao Wenzhao quickly helped him up and said hesitantly: "Major General, I have to let me move on this matter." Cao Wenzhao was unsure. After all, this case was too big and had too much connection. It was good that people could stay until now. It would be difficult to rescue him if he really wanted to.

Xiong Guangyuan's expression moved and he still said, "No matter what the result is, my nephew has thanked the general here!"

Cao Wenzhao helped him up, and then explained his gaze solemnly. Then he cleaned up and went straight back to the palace.

He has no ability to do such a thing, so he has to look at His Highness Hui's attitude.

Cao Wenzhao returned to the palace and came to Zhu Xu's study, while walking, while organizing his words. No matter what, Xiong Tingbi was a sinner. He was the most responsible for Guangning's defeat. Although the current situation in Liaodong was not caused by him, he had to bear a huge part of the responsibility.

'Can Your Highness save the Lord?' Cao Wenzhao was upset. Xiong Tingbi was his old boss and had great kindness to promote him. He could not refuse to save him when he died.

Cao Wenzhao entered the study and saw Zhu Xu sitting on a chair and reading a book without any image. He stepped forward and called "Your Highness."

Zhu Xu looked up and said, "What's wrong?"

Cao Wenzhao found that he had thought for a long time and said nothing, so he said with a single sword: "Your Highness, I just went to Lord Xiong."

"Mr. Xiong?" Zhu Xu looked puzzled. There were many people in the court surnamed Xiong, and he couldn't tell who it was at once.

When Cao Wenzhao saw this, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Xiong Tingbi, Lord Xiong."

Zhu Xu's face moved slightly, and he slowly sat down. Anyone who had a little understanding of the history of the Ming Dynasty knew this name, so Zhu Xu naturally knew it even more, and also knew the relationship between Cao Wenzhao and him.

After pondering, Zhu Xu said, "Do you want to save him?"

Cao Wenzhao knelt down with a thud and said, "I hope your highness can help you. Even if Lord Xiong is wrong, he will make more achievements than mistakes. He shouldn't die!"

Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged and he thought in his heart.

Xiong Tingbi's case is not in the case itself.

It's a party struggle.

Xiong Tingbi himself is a Chu party, but he is very close to the Donglin party. However, in order to prolong Xiong Tingbi's life, the Donglin party bribed the eunuch and gave it a remission. When it comes to the eunuch, Wei Zhongxian had to be involved.
