Chengdu, the main hall of the town government.

Zhu Youxiao single-handedly overturned the table, and the local documents piled up on it swept away, causing everyone to be panicked and kneeling.

Wang Chaofu stood outside the hall with the paperwork in his hand, he was thinking about it quickly, and his face gradually gave birth to a sudden anger, and the sudden anger of the emperor made the alarm bell ring in his heart.

Accompany the Son of Heaven, always remember to be cautious in words and deeds.

In the hall, there are several brocade guards who came to perform the work, looking at the official clothes, all of them are the hundred households of the Zhenfu Division.

I don't know what they said to make the emperor so angry.

Hou Liangzhu, the chief soldier of Sichuan, was also nervous on the side, thinking in his heart, did His Majesty know about the demolition of the bell tower of Yongxiang Temple and the rebuilding of some private houses in the city.

This is indeed a helpless way, the rebels were piling up high platforms outside the city at that time, if they did not do this, so that they could seize the commanding heights, Chengdu would be in danger.

After being entangled in his heart for a while, Hou Liangzhu finally couldn't help but speak, and said:

"Father-in-law, do you want me to go and ask Your Majesty for guilt-"

Wang Chaofu was thinking about whether to go in at this time, when he heard the words, he was stunned at first, then laughed, turned around and asked:

"What is the crime of waiting for the general soldier to ask for it?"

"I led the troops to demolish the temple and private houses without authorization, and Your Majesty is already angry with me because of this..."Hou Liangzhu was worried, "Father-in-law, later, you have to say a few kind words for me!" ”

"That's what it was."

Wang Chaofu raised his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, this is because of the news from the capital, not to be angry with you, and the general soldier can rest assured." ”

"Oh-" Hou Liangzhu calmed down, and after a while, he still asked, "What news from Jingli?" ”

"It's about promoting sweet potatoes in Huangzhuang, don't ask too much."

The two were talking, but they heard the two brocade guards in the hall shouting to obey the order, and then turned around and walked out of the main hall, got on the horse and headed north, as if returning to Beijing with an urgent order.

Wang Chaofu lowered his head and looked at the paperwork wrapped in Huang Aya in his hand, and thought for a while, but he slowly retreated and no longer planned to go in.

Hou Liangzhu didn't know what he was thinking, he was a little anxious, and came up and said, "Aren't we going in and asking?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Chaofu glanced at him.

This guy is a good fighter in war, he can keep Chengdu under the siege of a large number of rebels, and he can even take the initiative to attack, but why don't you understand this?

He sighed and explained:

"Now that the emperor is angry, these documents are not a good thing, and if you are unhappy, let's find someone else to do it."

"Reasonable, reasonable..."Hou Liangzhu nodded again and again, following behind him.

The news just came out of now, and it's a good thing ahead.

The promotion of sweet potatoes in Huangzhuang is very smooth, and the characteristics of excellent planting and high yield are obvious, and they are deeply loved by the people.

It stands to reason that the next step should be to promote cultivation in the entire Gyeonggi Huangzhuang. Originally, Zhu Youxiao had repeatedly emphasized this before he left Beijing.

It is also logical to implement it now.

But the problem lies in the fact that when the Beijing Division was discussing this matter, some people made a suggestion, and as soon as it was implemented in the whole of Gyeonggi, they encountered a thorny problem.

When sweet potatoes were promoted and planted in a royal village near Tongzhou, they were blocked by the local royal family and caused deaths.

In this matter, the imperial family sided with the civil officials who opposed the implementation.

The imperial family is very large, the emperor himself is not in Beijing, Wei Zhongxian does not dare to deal with it at will, and Zhang Weixian also has to avoid suspicion.

As a result, the ministerial proposal was pending, and the sweet potato could not be implemented in Gyeonggi for a long time, and by the time Zhu Youxiao received the news, he had already missed this year's summer planting date.

Zhu Youxiao was angry because of the trouble made by the imperial family, which led to the postponement of the summer planting of sweet potatoes in Gyeonggi, and this postponement made me wonder how many people would starve to death!

They weren't supposed to end up like this!

As soon as he left, there were no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys were called kings, but the royal clansmen, who usually kept a low profile, jumped out one by one and began to take the lead in opposing the promotion of sweet potatoes.

Let the poor people not be starved to death, and let them resist like this?

......

The next morning, Zhu Youxiao groaned and sat up.

After a few months of life in the army, he was really bruised all over his body, and he rode a horse for a long time, which also made the inner side of his legs a little numb.

After a good night's sleep in Chengdu, although his body was no longer sore, Zhu Youxiao still felt pain in both legs once he walked.

"The taste of this march and battle is indeed much more difficult than flipping cards in the harem..."

Zhu Youxiao muttered a few times, looking at the heavy armor and sword on the table, but he suddenly understood why many emperors like not to come out in the deep palace.

Without it, this leading troops to fight is simply not the emperor's job!

The curtain of the bed was opened, the sun was shining in, and in the dusty morning light, Wang Chaofu knelt on the ground and served a cup of warm tea.

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment, stretched out his hand to take it, drank it silently, and the tea was swung into the copper basin prepared by the little eunuch after several turns in his mouth.

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Youxiao took another cup of warm tea, drank it quietly, and said suddenly.

Wang Chaofu paused slightly, and said respectfully:

"Emperor Ye, the rebel generals Zhang Tong and Hao Chongming have been escorted to Chengdu, do you want to meet them?"

"What do I have to say to them?" Zhu Youxiao's face did not show the slightest joy, put the teacup on the table, and put on the armor under the service of the eunuch, and said:

"Let Hou Liangzhu cut them down directly and pass them to the southwest."

After a short time, the neatly dressed Zhu Youxiao returned to the main hall, sat in the first place, and listened to the civil officials and military generals salute before he said quietly:

"Zhu Xieyuan."

A civil official with a dignified face stepped forward and said, "The minister is here." ”

"I will give you three days to prepare a table for the Tusi in Sichuan who responded to the An's rebellion and the Tusi who resisted the rebels with Qin Liangyu."

Zhu Xieyuan was originally the political envoy of Zuobu in Sichuan, and not long ago he was appointed to become the governor near Xichuan.

In the Battle of Pingxuan Chongming, he cooperated with Hou Liangzhu and Qin Liangyu to successfully contain Zhang Tong's rebels around Chengdu, and bought time for the arrival of the pro-conscription army to calm the situation.

After he obeyed the order, he seemed to have something in his heart, lowered his eyes, and sighed again and again for a long time.

Zhu Youxiao just got up, saw him like this, put his boots on the ground, sat back again, and asked:

"Zhu Xieyuan, what do you have to say."

"Yes." Zhu Xieyuan saluted, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty really can't see what the land of Sichuan and Shu under your feet has broken into." ”

"The sycamore is gone, and the remnants of the lotus are overflowing. Is Your Majesty going to just walk away like this? ”

"I'm not going to walk away, if you're worried about that, you don't have to!" Zhu Youxiao glanced at him and said quietly.

Zhu Xieyuan raised his head again, saw that his eyes were already red at this time, and said: "Since Your Majesty is not leaving, then you must rectify the southwest, if Your Majesty wants to prosper the Ming Dynasty, a stable rear is indispensable!" ”

"Since Hongwu, the dynasty has implemented the policy of changing the land and returning to the river in the southwestern provinces, and it has achieved little to this day!"

"Now that the rebellion has been put down, it is time to declare the Quartet and deter the use of force. His Majesty may force the Tusi to change their land and return to the stream, and redraw the Tusi territory for them. ”

"The big toast must be defeated, and there must be no more Da Tusi family similar to the extravagant Chongming in Sichuan in the future."

"As for the small Tusi, they can turn their places into prefectures, prefectures, and counties, and they will be governed by the imperial court sending liuguan, and if they are not satisfied, they will be forced to change if they send troops to conquer!"

"Toast inherits the system from generation to generation, it's really not advisable!"
