A wind and rain bridge by the black tile lies between the flowing river valleys, Zhu Youxiao stands by the bridge railing with his hands down, while Ning Concubine Luoqi and Liu Rushi are on the other side of the bridge, watching the mandarin ducks playing in the water, chattering and laughing.

They didn't dare to go over to disturb Zhu Youxiao at this time, and Wang Chengen, the master of ceremonies, had just sent a pile of urgent reports, which required Zhu Youxiao's immediate instructions, so Zhu Youxiao had to take advantage of the opportunity to see these Guizhou Tusi to deal with some urgent affairs of the imperial court.

This is also the helplessness of the superiors, even if they are traveling, they can't devote themselves to the mountains and rivers like ordinary people, and then go home with a tired body and sleep directly.

And he has to be at the helm of the entire empire anytime and anywhere, and sometimes with a little delay, a lot of things can pile up in a few days.

Luoji's family is in Guangxi, and she has privately asked the elder Li Mingrui, who will enter Guangxi after inspecting Guizhou, and go to Guilin and Wuzhou, and His Majesty will accompany her to meet her mother's family by the way.

When she thought that the Ninth Five-Year Emperor would save her relatives with her, and she still returned to her hometown as a concubine, she didn't know how to imagine how much shock this would bring to her fellow villagers.

At the same time, Luo Ji didn't expect that His Majesty would give such a great kindness today, she thought that it would be difficult for her to have a bright future in the harem as her Yao family, but now she can accompany Her Majesty alone to inspect the world, this kind of honor is something she never dared to think of before.

But it is precisely because of her gratitude and respect for Zhu Youxiao that she is now more and more cautious, for fear that she will make a mistake and make His Majesty unsatisfactory in the slightest.

Therefore, she would rather be on the bridge now, than dare to ask Zhu Youxiao why she frowned and smiled, for fear of attracting the infamy of harem politics.

Liu Ru looked at Zhu Youxiao's side from time to time, and from time to time picked a wild fruit in his hand and threw it at Zhu Youxiao's side, but Zhu Youxiao continued to talk to Li Mingrui without knowing it.

However, at this time, it suddenly rained heavily outside the wind and rain bridge, and the fine rain wiped out the entire mountainside. ”

Zong Rong, the prefect of Kaili, responded to the sentence and hurriedly walked towards the head of the Fengyu Bridge, and was about to take the oil umbrella from the hands of a servant to go out to take a look, but saw that these Shengfan toasts near Kaili had already arrived, and they were all in a hurry to rush here.

Seeing this, Zong Rong hurriedly ran back to report the matter to Zhu Youxiao, and Zhu Youxiao replied lightly "I know" and did not discuss political affairs with Li Mingrui and Wang Chengen, but sat up straight, and opened his legs to both sides.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Bin came out and waved his hand, and the soldiers of the Fifth Army suddenly appeared on the road on both sides of the Fengyu Bridge as if they were out of nowhere, letting the rain wash down, one by one still standing still, and the musket in his hand was directly on the bayonet, and he shouted and put it in his hand.

These Guizhou Tusi who came to see Zhu Youxiao were also shocked when they saw the strict integration of military discipline like sculptures in the imperial court, although they still didn't think that in the mountains and forests, these imperial army could really deal with their own soldiers who were more flexible than monkeys, but they didn't dare to have the slightest disrespect at this moment.

When Zhu Youxiao looked up, he saw four or five big toast leaders with chicken feathers or feathers on their heads, a patterned rag wrapped around their heads, and beautiful and fragrant flower clothes.

These Tusi leaders also looked at His Majesty the Emperor, they have been equivalent to an independent small country for many years, and the government forces can't control them, and they don't really look at the power of the government, in their village, they are emperors, and they have their own set of rules for rule.

Moreover, they seldom communicate with the government, so they are self-contained, and Yelang is arrogant, although they do not often burn and loot the Han people on the border like the Tartars, but they will also compete directly with the Han people within the Tusi or with the Han people.

The reason why they were dominated by the Ming Dynasty was because they wanted to rely on the Ming Dynasty to gain political legitimacy, and secondly, to prevent other Tusi from uniting with the imperial court to annex themselves in the name of rebellion.

Zhu Youxiao is getting older now, and he has added a trace of imperial calmness to his sharpness, but he is also more familiar with showing an unfathomable look.

Guizhou Tusi was originally based on the four major toasts of Shuixi An, Banzhou Yang, Shuidong Song, and Sizhou Tian, but because of the rebellion of Banzhou Yang Yinglong during the Wanli period and An Bangyan of Shuixi Tusi also followed, the Banzhou Yang clan almost ceased to exist, and the power of the Shuixi An's clan was greatly reduced, and the Sizhou Tian clan was changed to the river as early as the Yongle period, so the Panshui Dragon clan had a tendency to come later.

Panshui Tusi Long Ying's eyes have been staring at Zhu Youxiao, and he said with a sly smile: "I heard that His Majesty the Emperor is here, I will come over to see him, and now I see that His Majesty is worthy of being a true dragon emperor, and his bearing is extraordinary." ”

Long Yinglu and others did not know that the Ming Dynasty had occupied Siberia and controlled Nanyang at this moment, and the national strength was unprecedentedly high, all he knew was the rebellion of Yang Yinglong during the Wanli period, although the imperial court spent a lot of money to finally put down the rebellion, but it also made him see the decay of the current imperial court, otherwise a small Banzhou Yang clan would not have swept the entire Sichuan and Guizhou, so that Chongqing was affected.

Therefore, Long Yinglan began to boast of his own power after flattering Zhu Youxiao meaningfully, and said: "Your Majesty is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is the time to open up the border and expand the territory and publicize the national prestige. ”

Long Yinglan deliberately exaggerated his power to 100,000 soldiers, just to let Zhu Youxiao know his strength, and allow him to annex the Shuixian clan, and then become the largest Tusi in Guizhou.

In his opinion, His Majesty the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao should support his annexation of the Shuixian clan, and even if he didn't support it, he should be afraid of his own power and had to support it.

Zhu Youxiao didn't speak, he waited for the purpose and needs of these toasts to be expressed, he spoke, at this time he was still smiling and silent, just asked casually: "Are you?" ”

"Panshui Tusi Long Yingscale", after Long Yinglan replied with a smile, Zhu Youxiao nodded, before coming to Guizhou, he had learned that the biggest toast in Guizhou now is this Panshui Dragon Clan, which has a vague tendency to overwhelm the Shuidong Song Clan, and is also very restless, and has repeatedly used his barbarians to kill other clansmen and plunder the property of other clansmen, which is extremely rampant.

However, because the imperial court has no time to look west in recent years, it has made this water and soil division more and more arrogant, thinking that he is the only one in the whole Guizhou.
