The eunuchs are very good at using hostile forces to create trouble, arouse the anger of the emperors of the dynasty, and then use this anger to destroy their opponents.

For example, the Xiong Tingbi case created by the eunuch party used the major event of Jiannu's defeat in Liaodong, which angered Tianqi and made Tianqi go from favoring Donglin to disgusting Donglin, thus eliminating the Donglin Middle and controlling the power in the court.

For example, the Yuan Chonghuan case created by the eunuch party was to use the reason why Jiannu sneaked into the capital from Jizhou Town to fabricate such a major event as Yuan Chonghuan coaxing the enemy and selling the country and taking Jiannu to attack the capital, which angered Chongzhen and made Chongzhen go from using Donglin to destroy the eunuch party directly, so as to take down all the power in the court and control the power in the court.

They are just playing with fire, because they are helping the enemy in disguise. Without their help, Jiannu would not have been able to take Liaodong at all, and would not have developed to an uncontrollable level.

This time, they were planning to use the southwest chieftains to create trouble, anger Chongzhen, and thus defeat Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of the five provinces who had outstanding achievements.

If they succeed, Zhu Xieyuan will definitely be finished. Like Yuan Chonghuan, it is possible to be executed by Lingchi. Of course, at the same time, the southwest chieftains will also make a profit, and may even develop into a force comparable to Jiannu.

Because Zhu Xieyuan is the "culprit" who suppresses them. Without Zhu Xieyuan, who will suppress them?

Will you come to change to the eunuch?

If it was really Wang Huazhen, Wang Zai Zai, Gaodi, and Wang's ministers, then the southwest chieftains could really develop into a force comparable to Jiannu!

Fortunately, Zhu Xieyuan is not an impulsive person like Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Chonghuan. He is the kind of capable minister and official who is mature, steadfast and quite shrewd. It is difficult for the eunuchs to make him the same as Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Chonghuan.

In history, Wen Tiren also mobilized the eunuch party to get Zhu Xieyuan, but Zhu Xieyuan finally saved the position of governor of the five provinces until he died of old age. Although he died in a bad state, he did not die as miserably as Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Chonghuan.

Of course, the situation in the entire southwest has been completely different at this moment. Shizhu chieftain Ma Qiancheng has become the leader of the southwest chieftain. Whether the chaos in the southwest depends on whether Ma Qiancheng really wants to rebel.

Zhu Xieyuan knew this very well, but Wen Tiren and Chongzhen couldn't figure out the situation at all.

The chieftains of Shuixi, Bozhou and Xuzhou all rebelled, and more than 200,000 troops were forcing Chongqing and Guiyang. What should we do?

Wen Tiren was stunned and didn't know what to do.

The eunuchs have always been like this. They have the ability to use hostile forces to create trouble, but they have no way to deal with hostile forces.

Chongzhen was also a little stunned. After thinking about it, he realized that the southwest incident seemed to have to rely on Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of the five provinces!

He hurriedly appointed Zhu Xieyuan as the crown prince's junior army, and asked him to continue to govern the troops of the five provinces and quell the rebellion of the chieftains in the southwest.

At this time, Zhu Xieyuan's shrewdness was reflected. He sent a transfer order to Shizhu and asked Ma Qiancheng to send troops to quell the rebellion!

He is testing Ma Qiancheng.

If Ma Qiancheng ignores him, it proves that Ma Qiancheng is going to rebel and he has to find other ways to deal with it.

If Ma Qiancheng sends troops to help him quell the rebellion as always, it means that this guy is just making trouble.

Unexpectedly, Ma Qiancheng's reaction was a little beyond his expectations. This guy did not send troops to Luzhou or Anshun, but directly led 20,000 troops to Guiyang Prefecture and stationed in Xifeng!

What does this mean?

Zhu Xieyuan was confused by Zhu Qizhu's hand. Does Ma Qiancheng want to take advantage of the situation to take Guiyang, or do he have other plans?

Only then did he realize that if Ma Qiancheng really wanted to rebel, he would not be able to stop it by his own efforts, even if he governed the five provinces, the troops of the five provinces could not be stopped!

At this time, Ma Qiancheng was like Yang Yinglong at the time, with a powerful force enough to fight the court. If Ma Qiancheng really wanted to rebel, he would probably have to be like the Wanli Dynasty responding to the Bozhou Rebellion, gathering all the elites of the Ming Dynasty to do their best to pacify it.

Can the Ming Dynasty gather all the elites to pacify the southwest at this moment?

Obviously, no!

Not to mention the rebels all over the northwest, Jiannu from Liaodong alone involved most of the imperial court's troops. If all the elite troops were gathered to pacify the southwest, Jiannu might have entered the pass in one fell swoop and destroyed the Ming Dynasty!

So, what should I do?

Zhu Xieyuan thought about it over and over again, but decided to go to Xifeng in person to convince Ma Qiancheng.

So, less than three days after Ma Qiancheng entered Xifeng, Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of the five provinces, came.

Ma Qiancheng was quite polite to this wise minister who worked hard and made great contributions. He not only personally welcomed him into the commander's tent, but also gave him to the main seat, while he sat in the lower head.

When Zhu Xieyuan saw Ma Qiancheng's attitude, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

It seems that this guy doesn’t want to rebel, but this eunuch in the court is too much!

He couldn't help but sigh: "General Ma, I know that you have always been loyal to the court. This time, the eunuch party in the court did a bit too much. However, you don't have to worry that the emperor is wise and powerful, and he will never be killed by the eunuch party in vain."

Humph, is it impossible?

The emperor is still wise and powerful?

Ma Qiancheng said angrily: "Mr. Zhu, what is the ending of Master Yuan Chonghuan, you should know, right?"

this!

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xieyuan couldn't help but say embarrassedly: "Mr. Yuan's affairs have nothing to do with the southwest. After all, Master Yuan is responsible for guarding Liaodong. At that time, Jiannu had all arrived in the capital, so it is understandable that the emperor was furious."

Ma Qiancheng still said indignantly: "Does the eunuch party still care about Liao, east and south? When the Nanju Master Yinan guarded the southeast, defeated Hongmao Fan, worked hard and made great contributions, what's the ending?"

Well!

Zhu Xieyuan was speechless!

These eunuchs did everything they could to fight for power and profit, so they didn't care about Liao, East and South.

Seeing this, Ma Qiancheng sighed leisurely: "Mr. Zhu, you should know that the main goal of the eunuch party this time is not me, their goal is you! After all, you have outstanding achievements, and what the emperor lacks is a commander like you who can conquer and fight well. Once you return to the court, if you don't say anything else, the Ministry of War will definitely not be able to control it. Think about it, can they let you go back alive?"

Zhu Xieyuan naturally knew this.

He couldn't help but sigh slightly, "I don't want to fight for power with them, they're thinking too much."

Ma Qiancheng shook his head and continued to sigh: "Mr. Zhu, think about it, did Master Yinan, Nanju, want to fight for power with them? No matter how many of them are, as long as they threaten their control over the power of the court, they will not let anyone go. Do you think you can be spared?"

Who said this correctly?

Zhu Xieyuan could only sigh helplessly: "If it really doesn't work, I will resign and return home. Should they let me go?"

Ma Qiancheng shook his head and sighed, "Oh, Lord Xiong Tingbi didn't resign at the beginning, but why did he accept the order again in danger? What's the result? In the midst of chaos today, can you, Lord Zhu, be able to resign like a commander who is good at fighting?"

this!

When Zhu Xieyuan heard this, he couldn't help but show a solemn look and said nothing for a long time.

Ma Qiancheng also said with a serious face: "Mr. Zhu, you can't hide it. To put it bluntly, it would be good if you can get a Master Nan like you. After all, dismissal from office and delisting is just a shameful face, and your life will be saved. I am just afraid that the eunuch party wants to make you like Lord Xiong or even Lord Yuan!"

When Zhu Xieyuan heard this, his face became even more ugly.

Who is convincing whom?

He felt that he was almost convinced by Ma Qiancheng.
