On that day, under Wangjiang Pass, the camp of the personal army stretched for several miles, with flags covering the sun, and dragon and phoenix flags everywhere.

Several rebels on duty in the city looked over from afar, as if they saw colorful clouds lingering in the sky, and in the black clouds, there was a real dragon roaring and circling.

Many days ago, the people nearby kept talking about the deeds of the emperor's personal expedition to Sichuan in mid-August of the first year of Tianqi.

Later yesterday, An Bangyan, who had just arrived in the camp, submitted a memorial of more than a thousand words as usual, which generally means recalling the military achievements of the Shuixi'an clan during the Battle of Bozhou in the past.

"Call him in and see me." Zhu Youxiao threw the memorial on the table, chuckled, and said, "Just tell him that I have wanted to see him for a long time."

The eunuch who was accompanying bowed and left carefully.

Zhu Youxiao, who is familiar with history, knows that An Bangyan has not rebelled yet. In order to stabilize him, he can draw any big cake.

As long as he doesn't make trouble in Guizhou before the game is finished, everything is easy to say. The ability of state-owned enterprises in later generations to draw big cakes is enough to copy the same thing.

Not long after, An Bangyan, who was ulterior motives, brought two local chiefs and followed the eunuch outside the tent.

When the three of them saw this scene in front of them, they all opened their eyes wide.

I wonder if I attached too much importance to myself, but the emperor ordered 300 Han generals to carry combat equipment and placing them on both sides, which made people inexplicably nervous.

The three of them entered the camp and saw Emperor Tianqi sitting on the imperial throne. They glanced at him sideways. They were even more nervous and quickly bowed their heads and bowed.

"A Bangyan, the Xuanfu envoy of Guizhou, Song Wanhua, the Xuanfu envoy of Shuidong, and An Xiaoliang, the Xuanfu envoy of Wusa, have seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, long live, long live!"

"You are here, please sit down!"

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and saw the palace people who were accompanying him to bring three chairs and put them in the camp.

The three of them looked at each other, saluted again, and then sat down.

"I have long heard that the Shuixi'an clan is loyal to the court and is the Shizhu Ma family, which are the two major pillars in the southwest of the court. When you come, I will feel at ease."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and greeted An Bangyan, asking him to get closer to him.

Seeing the true dragon emperor Long Yan, An Bangyan was extremely embarrassed just now, either standing or sitting. He just felt that he was like a country man in comparison with the handsome emperor in front of him.

Thinking about it again, She Chongming rebelled and tried to split the land and divide the territory, but it led the emperor to personally lead the army.

This rebellion was a huge joke at the beginning.

"What do you think? I want you to come, just come." Zhu Youxiao invited him again, with no sign of any concern about the war in the Southwest.

In fact, with the strength of the court, the Yang family in Bozhou has been pacified. She Chongming is having fun now, and sooner or later it will disappear?

"…That position is a civil servant, only the head of the military general can sit. The minister does not match his identity and cannot be approached."

An Bangyan waved his hands repeatedly, and when facing the emperor with a plain smile, he felt a little inferior.

"Your dear is worried about this." Zhu Youxiao smiled faintly and said nothing more. However, it was Qi Jin from the Admiral of the Yongwei Camp who stepped forward and smiled:

"It seems that the appeaser does not know yet."

"What do you know?"

An Bangyan's expression changed and he became even more nervous. He muttered in his heart, what are the emperor and Qi Jin selling?

"Congratulations to the Shuxi Hou." Qi Jin's personal guard commander Huang Degong came forward with a book of documents and robbed clothes.

Qi Jin also had a smile on his face, but his face had a murderous intent.

"The pacifier, this is the decision of His Majesty. After the rebellion of She Chongming and the reign of the court, you will be the real Shuixi Hou."

Seeing the things in the tray, An Bangyan was stunned, and Song Wanhua and An Xiaoliang all cast envious eyes.

"Shuixihou, is this sealed me?"

"Congratulations to brother, the court has made you a marquis!" An Xiaoliang laughed.

Song Wanhua also said: "Your Majesty is wise, we are determined to quell the rebellion of She family. We do not seek to make contributions, but we only seek to serve the court!"

"Okay, okay, there are all opportunities." Zhu Youxiao still smiled and said, "You three are here to help the court in time. I will always remember this love."

"In the future, the Liaodong war will also require you to work hard."

An Bangyan came back to his senses, took the following document and other items, leaned over and said, "My dear An Bangyan, I am willing to lead the Shuixi Army to serve the forefront of the court and serve your majesty to die!"

Although An Bangyan said it passionately, he was not a fool, so he couldn't say what he thought in his heart.

Zhu Youxiao stood up and helped him in his seat, and then said, "The Shuixi'an clan is the most powerful among the chieftains in the southwest."

"During the Hongwu period, Taizu often praised you An's family!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao glanced at him and saw An Bangyan smiling, listening happily.

"I remember that there seemed to be such a thing at the beginning. Ma Ye, the left governor who guarded Guizhou, went to Beijing to file a lawsuit with Master Hongwu, saying that Mrs. Shexiang intends to rebel."

Zhu Youxiao sat back on the imperial throne and continued, "Hongwu expelled the Mongolian Yuan, and his soldiers were powerful and shocked the world. Who is he?"

"Will he not know the right or wrong?"

"He said...Shuixi'an family often pays tribute to the court. Although not very many horses, their quality is the best among the chieftains. They have always been loyal and respectful to the court."

"What is the result of this? Several of my dear friends know."

"The left governor Ma Ye was recalled to Beijing and imprisoned. Master Hongwu also asked Mrs. Shexiang, that is, you settle down and guard the territory of Guizhou for the Ming Dynasty."

"It's almost three hundred years, time is fast, and you are also supporting the court in the Battle of Bozhou. I remember all of these in my heart."

Zhu Youxiao took a sip of tea and said slowly:

"When She Chongming has been pacified, I feel that it is time to set up a family and be hereditary. You are worthy of this Shuixi Hou!"

"Thank you for your understanding..."

This story goes to An Bangyan's heart. After that, he wiped his eyes, and his eyes were slightly red. I don't know if he was pretending.

"Get up."

Zhu Youxiao looked up and signaled that An Bangyan would not have to kneel down. Suddenly, he changed his mind and asked, "But I heard that you, An Bangyan, have been restless in Guizhou recently."

"Some people say that Master Hongwu asked you to settle your family. He would not return to Shuixi to deal with the government affairs of the Xuanwei Department unless he was private. But now you are staying in Shuixi almost every day and forget about this rule."

"However, this is the case..."

Zhu Youxiao picked up the emperor's sword at his waist and slowly pulled it out. The knife in his eyes seemed to be thousands or ten thousand times sharper than the sword.

"No, I haven't forgotten-" An Bangyan was extremely frightened and hurriedly said: "My Master Hongwu's teachings, my An family has never dared to forget them for generations!"

"It must be that person with a heart who is intent and confuses the public, just like Ma Ye's affairs."

"Hahaha."

Zhu Youxiao put Jian back, helped An Bangyan up, pointed at him and said with a smile: "You, although I am not Emperor Hongwu, I am not that unknown person. Get up."

"Some people say that you, An Bangyan, are not loyal to me, and contacted She Chongming in private. One is in Chongqing and the other is in Guizhou. They are in trouble and want to divide the southwest territory of our Ming Dynasty."

Speaking of this, An Bangyan was already sweating profusely and was guilty and dared not look at each other.

"But what did I reply to him, can you guess?" Zhu Youxiao sneered a few times, and before An Bangyan could reply, he slapped the table and said angrily:

"I told that person that you cannot understand the origin of the An family and the Ming Dynasty!"

"In the southwest, he She Chongming can resist, and even most chieftains can resist, but An Bangyan can't!"

“Why?”

"Because he is from the An family, the An family and the Ming Dynasty are good monarchs and ministers, and even good brothers! In the southwest, the Ming Dynasty was originally handed over to the An family to take care of. How could he rebel?"

At the end, Zhu Youxiao's expression returned to calmness, sat back on the imperial throne, and said lightly: "I have cut that man down."

Immediately, he stared at An Bangyan, Song Wanhua, and An Xiaoliang in front of him, saying one by one:

"An Bangyan, I believe in you."

......

ps: Some people say that Xu Keqiu's plot was too deliberate. In fact, I didn't deliberately write it. Such things and such people were actually happened at that time. I can only say that Xu Keqiu and Zhang Xun's like this were actually quite common at that time.
