Outside the palace, there is a restaurant.

Xiong Tingbi bowed long and said loudly, "Sir Xiong Tingbi, please pay homage to Your Highness Hui!"

Zhu Xu looked at Xiong Tingbi, with a big waist and a round waist, a clean regular dress, a smiley face, and a quite energetic smell.

Zhu Xu laughed in his heart, but his face remained silent. He stood in front of him, with his hands on his back and said with airs: "Mr. Xiong just got out of prison. Is this too anxious to find you so quickly?"

Xiong Tingbi looked very cheerful and said with a smile: "Your Highness is a life-saving grace for Xiong, so the official should visit you earlier."

Zhu Xu looked at Xiong Tingbi and his eyes moved slightly. He didn't know much about this Lord Xiong. Was he like this by nature or was he intentionally trying to test something?

Zhu Xu smiled and continued to show off his airs, "Mr. Xiong, what kind of thank you gift did you bring?"

Xiong Tingbi was stunned and turned to look at Cao Wenzhao not far away.

Cao Wenzhao stood there, lowering his head slightly, as if he didn't see it.

Xiong Tingbi immediately laughed and raised his hand and said, "Your Highness is laughing. The official has spent all his money to escape this time. After a few days, Xiong will definitely thank Your Highness again!"

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Okay, I will pay you 40,000 taels, and other points, 100,000 taels for 70,880 taels, plus your thank-you gift, 200,000 taels. For gold, 100,000 taels are enough."

Xiong Tingbi looked at Zhu Xu's serious face, and his expression finally changed. One hundred thousand taels of gold was not one-tenth of his property!

At the same time, he also realized that he had underestimated the little prince.

Xiong Tingbi restrained his attitude and saluted Zhu Xu again respectfully. At the same time, he took out a stack of silver notes from his arms and handed them over, saying, "It's the official who is promiscuous. This is a hundred thousand taels of silver notes. I hope your highness will accept it with a smile."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, took the silver notes from him, looked through them, and counted them very seriously.

Xiong Tingbi was even more afraid to act rashly. He spoke loudly before and gasped for breath, his expression was a little nervous.

After Zhu Xu finished counting, he slightly said, "One hundred thousand taels per cent is not much."

Xiong Tingbi looked serious and clasped his fists and said respectfully to Zhu Xu: "I hope your highness will give me some advice, how should I come back?"

Zhu Xu was secretly funny. This Lord Xiong was indeed not an ordinary person. He thought of making a comeback as soon as he was released from prison.

He turned around in a pretentious manner and sat down on the stool at the table.

Cao Wenzhao hurried over and wanted to pour water, but Xiong Tingbi took the lead, picked up the teapot and poured the water, and handed it to Zhu Xu with some diligence and compliment, "Please drink water for your highness."

Zhu Xu nodded with a smile, but it was not a stubborn stone. He took a sip of tea and looked up at him and said, "Do you think, with the situation in Liaodong, what should I do in the Ming Dynasty?"

Xiong Tingbi knew that the test was coming, frown tightly, pondered for a while, and said in a stern voice: "The official believes that we should guard!"

Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged and said, "Shou? Now the adults in the court are thinking about how to recover Shen and Yang and pacify Liaodong, but you are just thinking about guarding?"

Xiong Tingbi's face became more and more serious, and he looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Highness, Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, and the Jin people's cavalry is crisscrossing and coming and going without a trace. My Ming Dynasty has no cavalry, and the military discipline is scattered, and everything from top to bottom is timid. Therefore, the officials believed that the most urgent task now is to consolidate the border and defend the military and political affairs."

Zhu Xu nodded calmly. This view was in line with his taste. If he shouted Yuan Chonghuan's "Five Years of Pacifying Liao" in a few years, he would have to kick him out.

Zhu Xu looked at him with some interest and smiled, "Is there anything else besides internal military and political cultivation?"

Seeing that it aroused the interest of His Highness Hui, Xiong Tingbi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The officials believed that they should win over the Tatars and let them continue to invade the Jin people and consume each other. When our Ming army recovers, we will definitely be able to fight in one battle if it increases or decreases!"

At this time, the Ming people were still very arrogant.

Zhu Xu sighed in his heart, but self-confidence is better than inferiority. He said unanimously to Xiong Tingbi's words: "Does Lord Xiong know that there are many comments that have impeached North Korea's Mao Wenlongmao recently?"

After Zhu Xu finished speaking, Cao Wenzhao, who was beside him, suddenly realized that everything was connected.

'It turns out that Your Highness wants Lord Xiong to go to North Korea...'

Cao Wenzhao looked at Xiong Tingbi who was still silent and was secretly happy. Although he was not as good as the previous Governor of Ping Liao, he was guilty after all, and such a comeback was already very good.

Xiong Tingbi vaguely guessed Zhu Xu’s meaning and said tentatively: “Your Highness means, do you want the minister to replace Lord Mao?”

Mao Wenlong acted recklessly and arrogantly in North Korea, and did many extraordinary things, taking empty salary, killing good people and even bullying the people of North Korea, which had long caused dissatisfaction in the court, and impeachment voices were constantly coming. If it weren't for the Penglai Governor Yuan Keli, he would have been arrested and beheaded long ago.

Zhu Xu thought more about not letting North Korea lose its involvement, and needed a capable person to organize. Although we cannot expect to have too much effect, at least we must make the Jin people worry and not go south with all our might.

"No," Zhu Xu nodded and looked directly at him.

Xiong Tingbi's face was a little hesitant. He was not afraid of going to Liaodong, but just took over Mao Wenlong to do some training. He always felt like he was idle or underused.

Zhu Xu was not in a hurry, and did not speak out, waiting for his reply.

After a while, Xiong Tingbi's eyes were determined and said, "Your Highness, Xiong is willing to go, I hope your Highness will plan for me!"

They are all ambitious people.

Zhu Xu said to himself in his heart, then stood up with a smile and said, "Okay, after Lord Xiong goes back, please contact me and have a big kiss for Lord Mao."

Xiong Tingbi didn't say the person who was dragging his feet, and bowed with his fists and said, "If you can do it, the officials will definitely be grateful!"

Zhu Xu said with a slight nose, without saying much, "Old Cao, send Lord Xiong out."

Cao Wenzhao agreed and said, "Please, Lord Xiong."

Xiong Tingbi had a lot to ask, but when he saw this, he had to say goodbye and followed Cao Wenzhao's hands and went downstairs.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Xiong Tingbi stopped Cao Wenzhao, glanced at the building, and asked in a low voice: "Wenzhao, tell me honestly, can it really work?"

Cao Wenzhao laughed and said, "Don't worry, as long as your highness is willing to do it, there is nothing that cannot be done!"

Xiong Tingbi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I believe you. It's really going to be done. Your Highness will give you some instructions in the future, and Xiong will be absolutely absolutely right!"

Cao Wenzhao was about to make a polite decision, but suddenly his heart moved suddenly, and a shocked thought suddenly appeared in his heart: Your Highness is planning for Liaodong!

After recalling the series of firearms and cannons, Cao Wenzhao became more and more sure. He changed his words when he was talking, "Sir, you still have to do something for your Highness to see."
