"Schetz? Extravagant? Zhu Su was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"Why is Your Highness laughing?" Mrs. Schetz...... No, it should be called Lady Xiangxiang now, asked rather puzzled.

"Nothing, nothing." Zhu Su smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, good name." ”

"This name is very beautiful, Mrs. is the people of Guizhou, taking into account the overall situation, enduring humiliation, so that the southwest does not have war...... Such deeds will surely make the name of Madame Xiangxiang pass on to future generations. ”

"Thousands of years later, there will also be people who will praise the name of Mrs. Xiangxiang."

Mrs. Xiangxiang, this name that Zhu Su is extremely familiar with, how could he not know?

In later generations, because of a song, Mrs. Xiangxiang's name can be said to be a household name. When Zhu Su was traveling, he also heard the tour guide talk about the outstanding contributions made by the strange woman of the Yi nationality named Mrs. Xiangxiang to the land of Qianzhou and the great cause of national unity.

It was only because of the name that he never associated Mrs. Schetz with Mrs. Luxe in that well-known song. Now I suddenly learned that it was quite interesting.

"I don't dare to be ashamed of this merit, His Royal Highness is waiting for me, even if it goes down in history, it should be His Highness's first contribution." Mrs. Xiangxiang said. "His Majesty Emperor Hongwu has allowed my son to enter the Ming Dynasty to study and learn Han culture. The next time His Highness returns to Beijing, An will also need to walk with His Highness. ”

"I heard that His Royal Highness still has the position of the country's priest and wine, and An's child is expected to be taken care of by His Royal Highness."

Mrs. Xiangxiang and Aicui Tusi's son, Brother Aqilong, has changed his Chinese name to "An's" because Lao Zhu personally gave him the surname this time. Because he is still young, in the Shuixi Propaganda Division, Mrs. Xiangxiang is temporarily in charge of the late Tusi Aicui's Minister of Comfort, and when An's studies return, Mrs. Xiangxiang will transfer the position to An.

Faced with Mrs. Xiangxiang's entrustment, Zhu Su did not shirk it, but said with a smile: "This is a great thing to promote the harmony of my Han and Yi, and this king is naturally duty-bound." ”

"If the cultures of our two races can blend with each other, and between the two, we can seek common ground while reserving differences, and be like a family, I think Aicui Toast will have a spirit in the sky, and I will be gratified."

"Seeking common ground while reserving differences, like a family?" This fresh word, listening to Mrs. Xiangxiang, Song Qin, and Mrs. Liu Shuzhen's eyes lit up. Mrs. Liu Shuzhen praised: "Your Highness's words are really in the hearts of our toast departments!" ”

"It would be great if that were the case."

"There will come a day." Zhu Su said firmly.

The ethnic groups in the southwest are also an inseparable part of the Chinese nation. This is absolutely impossible to change.

Seeing that the repair of the field had come to an end, and the road construction work in the east and west of the water was also in full swing, Zhu Su knew that it was time for him to return to Beijing to resume his life.

Although there were some twists and turns in this trip to the southwest, on the whole, he still won the trust of the two Tusi of Shuidong and Shuixi, and uprooted Ma Ye, an unstable element that hindered national unity.

In response to Zhu Su's recital, the imperial court has sent Lan Yu, the Duke of Liangguo, to temporarily replace Ma Ye and guard the city of Guiyang. In Yingtianfu, Lao Zhu has also sent three edicts, asking him to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

Zhu Su also received a private message from Zhu Biao to him, learned about the officials of the DPRK and China, and began to promote the establishment of Guizhou.

At this time, Guizhou actually did not have its own administrative divisions. In the early days of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the main contradiction of the state was to eliminate the remnants of the former Yuan Dynasty, and did not adopt a policy of direct jurisdiction over the southwestern Tusi who voluntarily surrendered to Song Qin and Ai Cui.

Instead, he awarded Ai Cui as the consolation envoy, Song Qin as the consolation envoy, and each consulate lived in Shuixi and Shuidong, and was the consolation envoy of Guizhou, which belonged to Sichuan. Its Sizhou consolation envoy Tian Renzhi, Sinan consolation envoy Tian Maoan, Ji Zhenyuan and other prefectures, Lihu Guang. Pu'an, Zhenning and other prefectures, under Yunnan. "Guizhou" is just the name of a Xuanwei Division, which is nominally under the jurisdiction of Sichuan and Yunnan Prefectures, but in fact it is under the jurisdiction of the Tusi of each ministry itself.

However, the rebellion of the southwestern Zhudong barbarians and Ma Ye took advantage of the garrison to stretch out his administrative power, meddle in the affairs of various ministries, and stir up national contradictions. In order to prevent some people from thinking that the emperor is far away in the future, relying on the Ming Dynasty as a backer in the southwest, Lao Zhu made up his mind to set up a Zheng'er Bajing government in Guizhou, and set up three divisions, and the central court directly governs the government affairs of Guizhou.

Zhu Biao mentioned in the letter that the imperial court was ready to change the Sizhou Propaganda Department to Sizhou Mansion and the Sinan Propaganda Department to Sinan Mansion, and set up Guizhou Political Division, Lisan Division and other officials, and govern Guizhou Xuanwei Division, Sizhou Mansion, Sinan Mansion, Zhenyuan Mansion, Shiqian Mansion, Tongren Mansion, Liping Mansion, Pu'an Prefecture, Yongning Prefecture, Zhenning Prefecture, Anshun Prefecture, Jinzhu Pacification Division and Puding, Xintian, Pingyue, Longli, Duyun, Bijie, Anzhuang, Qingping, Pingba, Annam, Chishui, Yongning, Xinglong, Niosa, Weiqing 15 Guards, and Pushi Cadre Household Office, all of which are under the jurisdiction of the Guizhou Political Division. This is an unprecedented large-scale move, presumably Lao Zhu summoned himself back to the dynasty three times, just to let himself, the king of Zhou, who has some prestige in Guizhou, discuss the grand event of Guizhou's establishment together.

At the same time, bringing Guizhou under the jurisdiction of the imperial court is also conducive to the imperial court to demonstrate its existence here and promote indoctrination. Even, the imperial examination of civil and military examinations will also have places in Guizhou, and these ethnic minorities in Guizhou will also be able to serve as officials and generals above the court in the future, and build a common home in China with the Han people.

As a result, on the third day of August of this year, Zhu Su once again left Guiyang City and Guiyang Rongchang, which he had established. At this time, the people living here in Guiyang City already knew the efforts and contributions made by Zhu Su, the prince, in order to maintain the stability of Guizhou and promote the development of Guizhou. Zhu Su was very moved by this, and said with emotion: "If all the ethnic groups in my China can be united, why worry that my China will not be prosperous?" ”

Then, he said goodbye to Mrs. Xiangxiang, Song Qin and the people of various departments, and embarked on the road back to Yingtianfu.

By the time Zhu Su returned to Yingtianfu, Yingtian was already in winter. On the day of entering the city, sparse snowflakes flew in Yingtian City. Although the climate has become colder over the years, and there is occasionally some snow in the south, the snow in Yingtiancheng is still scarce after all, so on this day, Zhu Su saw a lot of literati and artists, taking advantage of the early snow to parade around, and there are also many children on the streets, chasing and playing in the snow.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has an order, please go to the palace to see you." There are attendants who are respectfully beside the road, greeting Zhu Sudao.
