A wind and rain bridge next to the black tiles lies across the river valley with gurgling water. Zhu Youxiao stood by the bridge railing with his hands hanging down, while Ningpin Luoruru and Liu Rushi were on the other side of the bridge, watching the mandarin ducks playing in the water and chatting and laughing.

They did not dare to disturb Zhu Youxiao at this time. Wang Chengen, the chief of the Sili Supervisor, had just sent a stack of urgent reports, and Zhu Youxiao needed to immediately give instructions. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao had to take advantage of the gap between these Guizhou chieftains to deal with some urgent matters in the court.

This is also the helplessness of the superiors. Even if they are traveling outside, they cannot devote themselves to traveling around like ordinary people, and then go home with exhaustion and sleep in.

And I have to take the helm for the entire empire anytime and anywhere. Sometimes, as long as I delay a little, I can accumulate a lot of things in a few days.

Luo Ruo's family is in Guangxi. She has privately asked the cabinet master Li Mingrui that after inspecting Guizhou, she will enter Guangxi and go to Guilin and Wuzhou. By the way, Your Majesty will accompany her to meet her family.

When Luo Ruo thought that the current Nine Five Emperors would visit her relatives with her, and she still returned home in glory with her concubines, she didn't know how to imagine how much shock this would bring to her fellow villagers.

At the same time, Luo Ruo did not expect that His Majesty would give such great kindness now. She thought that it would be difficult for her to succeed in the harem as a member of the Yao family, but now she can still accompany His Majesty to patrol the world alone. This kind of honor was something she had never dared to think about before.

But it is precisely because of her gratitude and respect for Zhu Youxiao that she is becoming more and more cautious now, fearing that she would make her mistakes a little bit unhappy.

So, she would rather be on the bridge than ask Zhu Youxiao why he frowned and smiled, fearing that he would be criticized for interfering in politics in the harem.

Liu Rushi looked at Zhu Youxiao from time to time, picked a wild fruit from time to time and threw it at Zhu Youxiao, but Zhu Youxiao continued to talk to Li Mingrui without knowing it.

However, at this moment, it suddenly started to rain outside the Fengyu Bridge, and the fine raindrops obscured the entire mountainside. Zhu Youxiao raised his head at this time and asked the prefect of Kaili Zong Rong: "Go and see if these chieftains are still here."

Zheng Rong, the prefect of Kaili, responded and hurriedly walked towards the bridgehead of Fengyu Bridge. Just as he was about to take the oil umbrella from a yamen runner and went out to take a look, he saw that the raw tops near Kaili had arrived and were all rushing here in a hurry.

Seeing this, Zong Rong hurriedly ran back and reported to Zhu Youxiao. After Zhu Youxiao replied casually, "I know", he stopped discussing political affairs with Li Mingrui and Wang Chengen, but sat upright and opened his legs to both sides. After Li Mingrui understood, he winked at Liu Bin.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Bin came out and waved his hand. Suddenly, the soldiers of the Fifth Army of the two routes suddenly appeared on the road on both sides of the bridgehead of the Fengyu Bridge. All of them were still standing still. The musket in their hands was directly bayonet, and they shouted loudly and stood flat in their hands.

The Guizhou chieftains who came to pay homage to Zhu Youxiao were shocked when they saw the military disciplines of the imperial court like sculptures. Although they still didn't think that these imperial troops could really deal with their own soldiers who were more flexible than monkeys in the mountains and forests, they did not dare to feel disrespectful at this moment.

When Zhu Youxiao looked up, he saw four or five big toast leaders wearing pretty and erotic clothes walking over.

These chieftains also looked at the Emperor. The chieftains have been equivalent to an independent small country for many years, and the government forces cannot control them, and they do not take the government forces very seriously. In their village, they are the emperors and have their own set of rule rules.

Moreover, they rarely communicate with the government, and they are self-confidant and arrogant. Although they do not often burn, kill, loot the Han people on the border like the Tartars, they will also directly compete for interests between the chieftains or with the Han people.

The reason why they worshipped the Ming Dynasty was, on the one hand, because they had to rely on the Ming Dynasty to gain political orthodoxy, and on the other hand, they were to avoid other chieftains from joining forces with the court to annex themselves in the name of rebellion.

Zhu Youxiao is getting older this year, and he adds a touch of emperor's calmness in his spirit, but he is more familiar with his appearance. Although these chieftains don't even accept the bow when they see him, they dare not be very arrogant.

The chieftains of Guizhou were mainly composed of the four chieftains of Shui Xi'an clan, the Yang clan of Bozhou, the Yang clan of Shui Dongsong clan, and the Tian clan of Sizhou. However, because the Yang clan of Bozhou rebelled during the Wanli period and An Bangyan of Shui Xi'an clan also followed each other, the Yang clan of Bozhou almost disappeared, and the power of Shui Xi'an clan was greatly reduced. The Tian clan of Sizhou was changed to the land as early as the Yongle period, so the Long clan of Panshui had a tendency to come from behind.

Panshui Tusi Long Yinglin stared at Zhu Youxiao with his smooth eyes, and said with a sly smile: "I heard that the Emperor came here, so I will come over to see you. Now when I see that Your Majesty is worthy of being the true dragon emperor, and his demeanor is extraordinary."

Long Yinglin and others did not know that the Ming Dynasty had occupied Siberia and controlled Nanyang at this moment, and its national strength was unprecedentedly prosperous. All he knew was the rebellion of Yang Yinglong during the Wanli period. Although the court spent a lot of money to quell the rebellion, it also allowed him to see the corruption of the current court. Otherwise, a small Bozhou Yang family would not have swept across the entire Sichuan Guizhou, causing Chongqing to be affected.

Therefore, after flattering Zhu Youxiao in a meaningful manner, Long Yinglin began to boast about his own power and said, "Your Majesty's prosperity in the spring and autumn is the time to open up the border and expand its territory and promote its national prestige. I, the Panshui Long family, was willing to open up the southern border for Your Majesty and offer it to Your Majesty the Thirteen Villages in the West."

Long Yinglin deliberately exaggerated his power to 100,000 soldiers, in order to let Zhu Youxiao know his strength and allow himself to annex the Xi'an clan, and then become the largest chieftain in Guizhou.

The Shui Xi'an clan rebelled against the Ming Dynasty. In his opinion, the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao should support himself in annexing the Shui Xi'an clan. Even if he does not support it, he should be afraid of his own power and have to support it.

Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything. He waited for the toasts to express their goals and needs before he spoke. At this time, he was still smiling without saying a word, just asking casually: "Are you?"

"Panshui Tusi Long Yinglin", Long Yinglin replied with a smile, and Zhu Youxiao nodded. Before coming to Guizhou, he had learned that the largest chieftain in Guizhou is the Panshui Long clan, which is vaguely overwhelming the Shui Dongsong clan, and is also very restless. He used his barbarians to kill other clan members and plunder other clan property many times, which was extremely rampant.

However, because the court has no time to look west in recent years, the Panshui Tusi became more arrogant and arrogant, thinking that he was the only one in Guizhou.
