The lawsuit of the Ningguzhai Chief was uprooted by Chen Liangen. With such cruel means, Chen expressed his attitude to other chieftains in Guizhou.

The Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was strong, and Chen was a famous general in the world. Even the generals under his command were all long-standing generals who had been fighting for many years. The existence of this army in Guizhou, especially the attitude towards Guizhou chieftains, really made chieftains in Guizhou feel extremely uneasy.

However, the outcome of the lawsuit of the Ningguzhai Chief was there, and they also learned from various channels that Chen and Li Dingguo that Chen was a passerby in Guizhou. Since this was the case, they did not dare to act rashly for a moment, for fear that it would arouse Chen's dissatisfaction and become the forefront, which was cleaned up by Chen before leaving.

However, with such a devil on his side, the chieftains were also restless. In addition to strictly restraining their own local people, the connection was inevitable. If Chen wanted to change his territory in Guizhou, they were also willing to express their loyalty to the Yongli court or the Qing Dynasty.

The military households in Guizhou supported the elderly and brought the young to Huguang. The Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang escorted a large number of goods from the Qin Palace, grain, cloth and other raw materials in the warehouse to Huguang. While this drama of filling Huguang in Guizhou was staged, the case of Sun Kewang's rebellion was also tried in Pingyiwei.

The trial of Sun Kewang's rebellion case was not only a major counterattack for the Yongli court, but also a good opportunity for the ministers killed by Sun Kewang to revenge, but also a great opportunity for the court to take this opportunity to restore some power.

Since Chen and Li Dingguo reached an agreement, Li Dingguo sent a letter to the court. The latter sent their most promising trial team to Pingyiwei to participate in the interrogation at the fastest speed. They even arrived a few days earlier than Sun Kewang was escorted here by the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The case of Sun Kewang's rebellion, starting from the fact that he enfeoffed Qin, this was a case of forcing the court to recognize the title of Qin, and it also involved the murder of Yang Weizhi and other officials. In addition, the emperor was placed under house arrest, plotting against Li Dingguo, creating auspiciousness to think that he abdicated and seeking legal basis, etc., especially the prison of Mr. Eighteen was the highlight. The case was at a normal pace, and the case could not be judged for less than a year or two.

However, Chen's army is still in Guizhou. When he left Kunming, Yongli ordered the case to be closed as soon as possible so that Chen could be satisfied so that he could leave Guizhou as soon as possible. They had to work overtime to conduct the interrogation and dare not delay even for a moment. Who made Guizhou and Yunnan so close?

There was no way to spend a year or two tossing and turmoiling the Qin King's Mansion, who had previously ridden the heads of these court officials and the confidants of the Qin King's Mansion, had to start the fatigue interrogation reluctantly.

"The offender Fan Yingxu, I asked you, in the fourth year of Yongli, the emperor moved Anlong, a member of Emperor Ru, a few concubines, and several monthly silver rice. Is there such a thing?"

"I offend the official Yu Xuan. I ask you, from the fourth year of Yongli to the eleventh year of Yongli, you have persuaded Sun Ni to advance several times. Is this a matter?"

"The offender Zou Binghao, I asked you, in the eighth year of Yongli, you took Qian Bangqi, the former governor of Guizhou, to Daxing Temple in Guiyang. Who was instructed?"

“…”

The interrogation of Pingyiwei was in full swing, and Li Dingguo also received a report from Guizhou. Chen encouraged military households to go to Huguang in Guizhou, and loaded all the warehouses in Qinwangfu and Guizhou to transport them from east to east, which even destroyed the chieftains of Ningguzhai's chieftain's lawsuit. One by one, Guizhou officials and chieftains used various channels to report to Li Dingguo and Kunming's Yongli court, which was inevitable to add fuel to the fire, in order to invite this demon king away from the land of Guizhou as soon as possible.

"The King of Yue did this and offended all the chieftains. It seems that he really doesn't want this Guizhou anymore. This is a good thing for the court."

"I'm afraid that this Monkey King will not only move away from the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, but also catch all the fish and shrimps in the East China Sea. We will all starve to death by then."

Bai Xuan participated in the battle of Yuanzhou and wanted Chen to leave Guizhou immediately so that he could rest assured. For Li Dingguo, after Chen left, Guizhou and others still had to operate it. If General Chen's households and warehouses were allowed to move away, then the subsequent finance would be a big problem.

"Tell Mr. Leng that we must speed up the interrogation process. We don't have much time to spend with King Yue."

Leng Mengyan, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, was the official in charge of the trial of Sun Kewang. This huge case was held by the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate and Dali Temple. He was the official in charge of the Ministry of Justice and was also the chief judge of Yongli. Li Dingguo remembered the agreement with Chen that after Sun Kewang died, his king-supporting order would be finalized and he would withdraw from Guizhou. Now that Chen is plundering warehouses and military households in Guizhou, he had to ask the trial officials to speed up the progress and settle the case as soon as possible, and kill Sun Kewang to send Chen away.

"No, King Jin was deceived, this is not the case at all."

When the news came, Li Dingguo was a little anxious, but when the news was delivered to Kunming, Yongli only read Li Dingguo's report on speeding up the progress and immediately realized that something was wrong.

"I used to be instructed Mr. Leng and others not to implicate the generals who led the troops. Now it seems that I still think less. Send someone to Pingyiwei, tell Mr. Leng and others, don't worry about anything else, first condemn Sun Kewang's crimes and execute them in front of King Yue. The others can be tried slowly in the future."

Sun Kewang's generals still have a large number of troops. Bai Xuan, Feng Shuangli, Ma Jinzhong, Ma Weixing, Wang Ziqi, He Jiuyi. None of these troops do not have a large army of thousands or tens of thousands in their hands, and they are not easy to mess with. Even if Ma Jinzhong and Ma Weixing have been captured by Chen in Yuanzhou, they cannot be ignored, because Chen did not hand over these two horses to Li Dingguo. Who knows if the salted fish will turn over?

The Yongli court did not dare to move the military head for a long time, and it was helpless to have such strength. Since it was not implicated, Yongli originally thought that Chen planned to determine the contribution of serving the king to further enhance his prestige among the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming Army Group and the Southeast gentry. This was actually what Yongli was willing to see. After all, serving the king was linked to loyalty to the king, and Chen's power was getting stronger and stronger. Such a huge Yue Palace and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming Army pose too great a threat to the imperial power. After peace, the throne would be reduced. Otherwise, the throne would be unstable. Now that Chen has become the name of a loyal minister, he was originally bound by himself. Who knew that there was such a move behind him.

"Your Majesty, I think that if the King of Yue has launched an army for no reason and kills the officials in the lawsuit against Ningguzhai, the court should issue an order as soon as possible to denounce it."

Anhou Ma Jixiang, an important official from the Jinyiwei, has now entered the cabinet with the support of Li Dingguo. Yongli hates him very much, but it can't help but touch Li Dingguo's senses. He has to pinch his nose and watch the man jump up and down when he goes to court every day.

At this moment, Ma Jixiang made a generous speech in the hall. Although Yongli hated him, he had to admit that what Ma Jixiang said was the most correct decision now - to denounce, not to punish him. Regardless of whether Chen accepted it or not, the court would make a statement, and the chieftain would have a dependence on the court. If Chen made some compromises in other aspects for this, it would be great.

"Ma Aiqing said very much, but King Yue served the king for thousands of miles, and was loyal and commendable. He should be more tactful in his words and sentences. Don't hurt the hearts of the vassal ministers."

"Since the order."

If it is more tactful, don’t make Chen angry if it is made clear. It would be unfair to go from serving the king to clearing the king. Ma Jixiang understood this principle, and no other court officials didn’t understand it, but no matter how you say that the court was so incomparable, it was indeed helpless.

"Your Majesty, His Highness, the King of Yue, mentioned in his previous report of victory that Yue's vassal had recovered the entire territory of Huguang. This is a gratifying event, and it is the result of Emperor Taizu Gao's blessing to His Majesty."

Previously, the southern part of Huguang was in the hands of Sun Kewang. Now Sun Kewang is a dead tiger, while the northern part of Huguang is under the control of Fan Cheng, and Fan Cheng was imprisoned in a prison in Wuhan Prefecture. Chen said that Fan Cheng's physical condition could not be escorted to Kunming alive, so it would be left alone.

The court officials had already congratulated him once when he reported the victory to Kunming. But at this moment, Ma Jixiang came again. Not only did it have nothing to do with the matter discussed earlier, but it also did not even change the words in the slightest change, which really puzzled the court officials.

"Since that's the case, I think the court should discuss with His Highness the King of Yue as soon as possible the return of the Huguang vassal king."

As soon as Ma Jixiang said this, the court officials immediately understood this intention. They used the vassal kings to return to the enfeoffment to play with Chen and forced him to make concessions. The Huguang province that Ma Jixiang pointed out alone did not mention that Chen Shangshu was kept by Sun Kewang to live in Jiangxi, and his intention was even more profound.

During the Ming Dynasty, the king of Chu, Liao, Min, Xiang, Jing, Ji, Rong and the King of Gui who came from Yongli were successively granted the titles in Huguang Province. Moreover, this was not the case where the vassal kings such as Gu, Xiang, Tan, and Ying had been eliminated before the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the Yongli of Guifan, who had inherited the throne, and put aside those who were missing, the Chu grandson of Chu, Zhu Shengzhi, the King of Dong'an, Zhu Shenglang, the King of Jiangxia, Zhu Yunling, the King of Ningjing of Liao, Zhu Shugui, the King of Badong, Zhu Zunjiang, the King of Songzi, Zhu Yanyan, the King of Guangze, Zhu Yantie, the King of Minfan, Zhu Yongyun, the King of Minfan, and Zhu Cihuang of Jifan, and Zhu You, the King of Gucheng, are still alive, either in Kunming or Zheng Chenggong, and the King of Dong'an, the Duke of Yiguo Hao Yongzhong of Kuidong Ming Army, and at this moment they are in Fang County, northwest of Huguang.

With so many vassal kings, they returned to their fiefdoms. With Chen’s actions in Jiangxi, the benefits of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang would be greatly reduced.

There is no need to think about this, and we also know that Chen would never agree to make this opening. But unlike Chen’s previous memorial, now the court has taken the move. Even if Chen is dissatisfied, as a minister, he can only accept the move.

The game between the small court and the big vassal states is no longer possible, but if it can be exchanged for something substantial or nominal, it will be of great benefit to restoring the authority of the court. Therefore, if Chen is forced to make even a slight compromise with the court, it will be a victory for the court.

As soon as Ma Jixiang said this, he immediately received recognition from all the court officials. Even Yongli nodded frequently after thinking for a while, and his impression of this person improved a little - regardless of character, he was at least a court official who could do things and could do things, and now he was in need of such a minister.

With a preliminary intention in the plan, the plan started as quickly as possible, especially the King of Dong'an, which should be notified early, and it would be better to pull the Ming army of Kuidong into the water and make the matter completely aggravated.

However, there are some things, Shen denounced Chen as arbitrarily killing the chieftain and executing Sun Kewang as soon as possible. These two things are the first to be solved. With these, the subsequent things can be done.

The imperial edict was issued to Pingyiwei and Guiyang. After Li Dingguo and the officials in charge of the trial received the order, they immediately changed their strategy and specialized in Sun Kewang, so as to execute Sun Kewang as soon as possible and ask Chen to leave Guizhou. When Shen scolded Guiyang, Chen threw it aside, without even a word of defense, and continued to work on hollowing out Guizhou.

However, as the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang had representatives supervised the trial of the Sun Kewang case, Chen quickly received news that the Yongli court had changed its strategy.

This was not beyond his expectations. He had just planned to delay the time, but now the time has been delayed, but it is less than expected, so some other things can be carried out in advance.

"Duke of E, let's part here and be safe all the way."

"The last general thanked His Highness King Yue for sending him off. In this life, I will never dare to be an enemy of His Highness King Yue again."

"The E Kingdom's Duke is so strong."

The hollowing out Guizhou was a big project. After receiving news of the Sun Kewang case, Chen quickly distributed the tens of thousands of prisoners captured to a series of captured generals, including Ma Jinzhong and Ma Weixing, according to their ranks. After Kang Sun Kewang gave them a batch of weapons and supplies, he also sent them away from Guiyang, a place of right and wrong.

These troops will go to Zunyi Military and Civilian Mansion, Chishui Wei and Bijiewei areas according to Chen's instructions, so that they can not only avoid bordering with the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but also ensure that they will not become targets for Li Dingguo's attack when he was sorting out Guizhou. There is no way. They were originally Sun Kewang's generals, and they had to follow Sun Kewang inside. In history, they had the opportunity to turn against each other. However, now it is not only related to Sun Kewang, but also closely related to Chen Guocong. The danger coefficient for the Yongli court has risen sharply, and they have to find a way out for a retreat.

The retreat of these troops to the junction of Guizhou and Sichuan was beyond the reach of Guizhou. Most of Sichuan provinces are unmanned lands and are real local emperors. As for the chieftains near these two places, especially the Shuixi'an family, Chen Ke was not interested in caring about their death or immortality.

After sending off these prisoners, the burden was greatly reduced, and more manpower and material resources were invested in the work of hollowing out Guizhou. After Yu Ma Jinzhong's farewell, Chen returned to the headquarters and continued to deal with the parts. Sun Kewang had already done the Qingzhang land in the southern part of Huguang. Chen had already picked up a big advantage, and all he needed was a review. However, the area bordering the Ming army in the north bordered the Kuidong region was quite dirty and he needed to deal with it.

"Wait a little longer, Sun Kewang is almost dead. When this guy is executed, I should go back to Huguang."

After looking at the piece for a long time, Chen straightened up, stretched his waist, and felt much more comfortable immediately. He was so tired that he wanted to find someone to massage a few times. However, Zhou Yueying, the first person he thought of, is still in the Yue Palace in Nanjing. It is said that he likes to eat sour food recently. The doctors who have seen him say that it is very likely to have a boy.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Chen's mouth, and he gradually became immersed in happiness. But at this moment, a guy dressed as a housekeeper was led in by his personal soldiers and sent a letter to Chen for his head of the family.

"It seems that the court is a little impatient with me."
