A Tusi who is close to the imperial court, and a royal general who has some relationship with Queen Ma, which one the government and the opposition believe more, there is no doubt about the outcome.

In the eyes of the Ming court, the Tusi in the southwest were forced by the situation and reluctantly attached to the imperial court, and in the mountains, they were ignorant and not of their own race, so it was really normal. Therefore, although Lao Zhu put this matter above the court meeting and asked the hundred officials to discuss, the moment the hundred officials heard the news, they all said that Ma Ye's report must have something to do, even if Shuixi Aicui is not as serious as the rebellion, it must have been revealed, and Ma Ye will send an urgent envoy.

In any case, the imperial court should issue an order to send troops as soon as possible to nip in the bud this gang of thieves who do not know the height of the sky.

In this wave of striving to send troops, Zhu Su insisted on his own opinion, and still demanded that Ai Cui could not be directly accused of rebellion, and that only when it was found out could he send troops. There was an uproar in the court, and an official came out and said: "Why does Your Highness believe in barbarians and not in relatives?" If the situation in the southwest is delayed and the thieves are bigger, what should be done? ”

"The Tusi of the southwest are subject to my Ming Dynasty, and I am the king of the Ming Dynasty, how can I be barbarian?" Zhu Su said.

The official's face was calm, and he said in a loud voice: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different." In the Tang Dynasty, the alien races were in turmoil, and the vitality of China was difficult to recover for hundreds of years, until His Majesty swept away the Tartars, and it was only when he truly restored the majesty of my Han and Tang Dynasties. ”

"What the minister wants to say is that His Royal Highness has not believed in foreign races, and has buried hidden dangers for the good situation of my Ming Dynasty......"

He turned his face to Lao Zhu and said with a righteous and awe-inspiring voice: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that foreign aliens are not my clan after all, and they cannot be treated by the countrymen." Tang Xuanzong loved the Hu people, and as a result, the Anshi Rebellion almost lost the Tang family; Huizong of the Song Dynasty formed an alliance with the Jin State, and as a result, on the day of the destruction of the Liao State, the Jin soldiers pointed to the Central Plains. The minister knows that His Royal Highness wants to have the intention of soft southwest toast, but treats Yidi favorably and treats him as himself, which is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger! ”

"If General Ma has discovered it, then he will take his head and use it with authority, so that he can deter all sides and make Xiaoxiao lose his ......," he said eloquently.

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Su interrupted impatiently: "Shock all directions? Teach them to deviate from morality, and always be wary of us ever since? The southwest land has been attached to China for a long time, if even they can't rule it, why should we talk about expanding the territory? ”

"At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the foreign soldiers were used to win more and lose less, which laid the domineering majesty of the Tang Dynasty, and this famous general who made great achievements, many of them were of different races, and many of the soldiers and horses used were Hu soldiers. There are twenty-four people in the Lingyan Pavilion, how many Hu people are counted? ”

"The Tang Dynasty's policy is the country's great disaster. When the imperial court was weak, the generals of the feudal towns had different intentions, and the disadvantage was that they delegated too much power, and it was due to the greed of the people, not because of the dispute between Hu and Han. Since ancient times, which dynasty has not rebelled against its generals? How many of them are Hu people? Even if they are generals of the same clan, when they see that the court is weak, they do not know what they want to do. From the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the present, why do you want to single out An Lushan to talk about things? ”

The official looked stunned, but he couldn't speak.

"The ethnic groups in the southwest have coexisted with China for many years, and they are already extremely close to each other." Zhu Su turned to Old Zhu Dao. "If even they are always wary and unwilling to wait for them, how can we turn all countries into China and expand our territory?"

"In the past, the land of Rongdi was already the realm of my China. The ethnic groups in the southwest have been included in our Huaxia command, but because of the words of one person, when the matter is not yet clear, we will indiscriminately raise troops to fight for them and exterminate their clans...... If this move is done, will other toasts be willing to attach themselves to me in the future? ”

"Then according to His Royal Highness, Ma Tongzhi falsely accused Ai Cui? Why did he do that? "Another official came out." Ma Tongzhi is transferred, and he has no grievances with Ai Cui, how can it be a false accusation? ”

"So, it's not ......clear yet," Zhu Su said. He turned his head and looked at Lao Zhu, who was the head of the company: "Father, please go to Yungui again to find out about this matter." ”

"If Ai Cui really has a rebellious act, the son should come to the battle array in person to eliminate the thieves...... But if so, there is something else to ......"

"Please also ask my father to decide impartially, don't let Ai Cui be wronged because he is not a Han Chinese!"

On the throne, Lao Zhu's eye sockets were slightly sunken, and his face sank like water. Zhu Su couldn't help but be worried, the timing of Ma Ye's performance was really a coincidence, at this moment, it was the moment when Lao Zhu remembered Queen Ma the most, and naturally he didn't want to suspect Ma Ye, who had a relationship with Queen Ma.

But fortunately, Lao Zhu is a wise gentleman after all. He only thought for a moment before agreeing to Zhu Su's request. "In that case, we will send you to take care of this matter again."

"Remember, it's all about the big picture. If there is trouble, do not tolerate it. ”

"The retainers obey." Zhu Su stepped forward to receive the will, and if Lao Zhu's words were profound, he also let go of his thoughts.

Even though she is much older due to the death of Queen Ma, her momentum is even more powerful...... But the Hongwu Emperor is still the decisive Hongwu Emperor, and he will never forget the overall situation of the rise of the Ming Dynasty because of some views of the gateway races.

After Zhu Su received the order, Lao Zhu ordered a few more generals. In addition to the southwest, other places such as grassland deserts also have many traces of chaos. The reason why Daming temporarily cultivated was to wipe out these unstable factors, so on the first day of Lao Zhu's restoration of the dynasty, he wanted to deal with these ghosts.

Zhu Su took the order out, and before he returned to the palace, at the gate of the palace, he met a family member in the palace who was anxiously waiting for him to go to the next court.

"Your Highness! Your Highness, can you come out Your Highness......" Seeing Zhu Su, this anxious family member was relieved and hurriedly greeted him. "Your Highness, when you went to court today, someone came to the palace to look for you, claiming to be from the southwest realm."

"Oh?" Zhu Su immediately paid attention to it. In order not to miss the news of Xie Jinchuan, he instructed his family yesterday that if anyone came from the southwest, they must be introduced into the mansion as soon as possible. Yuan also guessed that even if Xie Jin's people were slower than the imperial court officials, they would not be too slow, and they should have arrived at this time.

"Quick, send me home!" Zhu Su commanded. He had received the will to go to the southwest, and naturally he was more attentive to the ins and outs of this matter. If you can know in advance, it's better to arrange one or two in advance.

The person who came to report the news Zhu Su knew that this person's name was Xie Rong, and he was a brother of Xie Jin, and he was also a famous talent. However, when Zhu Su saw him in the mansion, this talented man was dark-skinned and thin-skinned, with a dry face, obviously he was not tired all the way.

As soon as he saw Zhu Su, he hurriedly greeted the salute, and then said, "Your Highness, the big thing is not good. ”

"Your painstaking arrangement in the Southwest...... I'm afraid it's going to be ruined! ”
