On this day, under the Wangjiang Pass, the camp of the pro-conquest army stretched for several miles, with flags covering the sun, and dragon and phoenix flags were planted everywhere.

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

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

Later yesterday, An Bangyan, who had just arrived at the camp, presented a note of more than 1,000 words as usual, which roughly meant that when recalling the battle of Banzhou in the past, the battle exploits of the Shuixian clan.

"Tell him to come in and see me." Zhu Youxiao threw Song Shu on the table, chuckled, and said, "Just tell him, I have long wanted to see him." ”

The eunuch who accompanied him waved his body and left cautiously.

Zhu Youxiao, who is familiar with history, knows that An Bangyan has not rebelled yet, and in order to stabilize him, any big cake can be painted.

As long as he doesn't make trouble in Guizhou before he finishes playing extravagantly, everything is easy to say, and the ability of state-owned enterprises in later generations to draw cakes will be fine with gourds.

It didn't take long for An Bangyan, who had a ghost in his heart, to follow the eunuch to the outside of the tent with two local chiefs.

When the three of them saw the scene in front of them, their eyes widened.

I don't know if I attach too much importance to myself, the emperor has ordered 300 generals of the Han Dynasty to hold battle equipment and line them on both sides, which makes people nervous and inexplicable.

When the three of them entered the camp, they saw that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was sitting on the throne, squinting at themselves, and they were even more worried, and hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted.

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

"Here you are, sit down!"

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and saw the palace people who accompanied him out of the palace brought three chairs and put them in the camp.

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

"I have long heard that the Shuixian clan is loyal to the imperial court, and the Shizhu Ma family is the two pillars of the imperial court in the southwest, and you are here, I will feel at ease."

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

Seeing the face of the real dragon Tianzi, An Bangyan was embarrassed and abnormal, he didn't stand or sit, he only felt that compared with the handsome son in front of him, he was simply a barbarian in the countryside.

Thinking about it again at this time, the extravagant Chongming rebelled and tried in vain to split the territory, but it attracted the emperor to drive the expedition in person.

This rebellion was a big joke from the beginning.

"What do you think, I want you to come, you just come." Zhu Youxiao was invited again, and there was no worry about the war in the southwest on his face.

In fact, with the strength of the imperial court, the Yang clan in Banzhou has been pacified, and Luxury Chongming is making a lot of trouble now, and sooner or later it will not disappear?

“… That position can only be sat by the head of the civil ministers and military generals, and the ministers do not match their identities, so they can't get close. ”

An Bangyan waved his hand again and again, facing the emperor with a flat smile, he was indeed a little inferior in his heart.

"Aiqing was worried about this." Zhu Youxiao smiled faintly and didn't say more, but it was Qi Jin, who was the commander of the Yongwei Battalion, stepped forward and said with a smile:

"It seems that the pacification envoy does not know yet."

"Know what?"

An Bangyan's expression changed, he became even more nervous, and muttered in his heart, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd between this emperor and Qi Jin.

"Congratulations to Shui Xihou." Huang Degong, the commander of Qi Jin's personal guard, came forward with a document book and a knight's robe.

Qi Jin was also smiling, but his face was full of murderous intent.

"Pacification envoy, this is your Majesty's decision, after this time to quell the rebellion of Luxury Chongming and return to the court, you are the real Shui Xihou."

Seeing the things in the tray, An Bangyan was dumbfounded, and Song Wanhua and An Xiaoliang also cast envious glances.

"Shui Xihou, is this my seal?"

"Congratulations, big brother, the court has given you a marquis!" Ahn laughed.

Song Wanhua also said: "Your Majesty Shengming, we will put down the rebellion of the Hao clan for the Ming Dynasty, not to seek merit, but to be able to serve the imperial court!" ”

"Good, good, there's a chance." Zhu Youxiao still smiled and said, "The three of you, but you have sent charcoal to the imperial court, I will always remember this love." ”

"In the future war in Liaodong, I will also ask a few of you to contribute."

An Bangyan came back to his senses, took the following book and other things, leaned over and said: "Minister An Bangyan, I am willing to lead the Shuixi Army, serve the court as a pioneer, and serve Your Majesty to death!" ”

Don't look at what An Bangyan said impassionedly, but people are not stupid, what they think in their hearts, it's not certain.

Zhu Youxiao got up and helped him to his seat, and then said: "Shuixi clan, among the southwestern toasts, the strength is the strongest. ”

"When Hongwu was in the first dynasty, Grandpa Tai often praised your An family!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao glanced at it, and really saw An Bangyan with a smile on his face, listening happily.

"I remember that there seemed to be such a thing at the beginning, Ma Ye, the governor of Zuodu, who was guarding Guizhou, went to Beijing to sue Hong Wuye, saying that Mrs. Xiangxiang intended to rebel."

Zhu Youxiao sat back on the throne and continued: "Hong Wuye expelled Meng Yuan, the military power spread far and wide, and the shock was outside, what kind of old man is he. ”

"He wouldn't know the merits?"

"He said... Shui'an clan often paid tribute to the imperial court, although it was not particularly many, but the quality was the best among all the toasts, and he had always been loyal and respectful to the imperial court. ”

"What the result of this is, several Aiqing also know."

"Ma Ye, the governor of Zuodu, was recalled to Beijing and imprisoned, and Hong Wuye also asked Mrs. Xiangxiang, that is, you to settle down, to guard the territory of Guizhou for the Ming Dynasty."

"It's been almost three hundred years, time has flown by, and you are also supporting the imperial court in the Battle of Banshu, all of which I remember in my heart."

Zhu Youxiao took a sip of tea and said slowly:

"When the extravagant Chongming is pacified, I feel that it is time for you to settle down and seal the wait, hereditary replacement, you are worthy of this water west!"

"Your Majesty is considerate..."

This story went to An Bangyan's heart, and after speaking, he wiped his eyes, and his eyes were a little red, and he didn't know if he was really pretending.

"You get up."

Zhu Youxiao raised his head and signaled that An Bangyan didn't have to kneel anymore, and suddenly changed his words and asked, "But I heard that you, An Bangyan, have been restless in Guizhou recently. ”

"Some people say that Hong Wuye told you to settle down, and you are not allowed to go back to Shuixi to deal with the government affairs of the Xuanwei Division without permission, but now you stay in Shuixi almost every day and forget this rule."

"But that's the case..."

Zhu Youxiao picked up the imperial sword at his waist and slowly pulled it out, the knife in his eyes seemed to be a thousand times sharper than a sword.

"No, I haven't forgotten-" An Bangyan was terrified, and hurriedly said: "Hong Wuye's teachings, my An family will not dare to forget them for generations!" ”

"It must be the one who has a heart, and the gossip confuses the people, just like the thing about Ma Ye."

"Hahaha."

Zhu Youxiao put the sword back, picked up An Bangyan again, pointed at him and said with a smile: "You, although I am not Emperor Hongwu, I am not the unreasonable person, get up." ”

"Some people say that you An Bangyan is disloyal to me, and privately contacts with Yu Chongming, one in Chongqing and the other in Guizhou, and wants to divide the southwest territory of my Ming Dynasty."

Speaking of this, An Bangyan was already in a cold sweat, and his heart was weak and he didn't dare to look at each other.

"But what can I say back to him, can you guess?" Zhu Youxiao sneered a few times, and without waiting for An Bangyan to reply, he slapped the table and said angrily:

"I told that person, the relationship between the An family and the Ming Dynasty, you can't understand it!"

"In the southwest, he can oppose the Ming Dynasty, and even most of the toasts can be opposed, but An Bangyan can't!"

"Why?"

"Because he is a member of the An family, An Jia and Da Ming are good monarchs and ministers, and they are good brothers! This southwest, Da Ming was originally handed over to the An family to manage, how could he be opposed? ”

In the end, Zhu Youxiao's demeanor returned to calm, sat back on the throne, and said lightly: "I cut that person." ”

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

"An Bangyan, I believe in you."

......

PS: Some people say that Xu Keqiu's plot is too deliberate. In fact, I didn't mean to write it, this kind of thing, such a person, I found out that it really happened at that time. I can only say that Xu Keqiu and Zhang Xun were actually quite common at that time.
