Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 646
After leaving the main hall, Wang Yan went back to his room to rest before it was fully lit. When he woke up, it was already morning.

"What time is it?" Wang Yan sat up from the bed, and the guards beside him had already filled up the hot water for washing.

"Sir, it's already a quarter of an hour." The guard brought hot water and replied as he walked.

During the few days in Guangnan this time, he expended as much mental energy as he did on the battlefield, and after using his brain too much, it was inevitable that he would not get enough sleep.Wang Yan picked up a hot towel, washed his hands and face, and rinsed his mouth with salt water before putting on his shoes and socks and standing up.

"The humble job makes people go to heat up the food." The guard said again.

Wang Yan hummed, nodded, and then walked out of the house with a somewhat confused head, ordered another person to fetch a knife, and started playing in the yard.

As soon as he was hot all over and swung it vigorously, Yu Taichu hurriedly came to the courtyard with his saber, and shouted loudly as he walked: "Master, I have something to report to you!"

Wang Yan had no choice but to throw the saber to the guard, clapped his hands, "What's the matter?"

"Two things, one bad and one happy, which one should I listen to first?" Yu Taichu laughed.

Seeing his appearance, Wang Yan could probably guess what the joy was, but he couldn't guess the bad thing. He walked back and said, "Let's talk about the bad first."

"Reporting to my lord, what's bad is that Duke Qian Mu Tianbo has just sent the military report to the imperial court, Sun Kewang is sitting in Yunnan, and Duke Qian has been kicked out of Yunnan." Yu Taichu said after Wang Yan.

After hearing this, Wang Yan didn't realize it for a while. When he got to the room, he got a cup of tea by himself, and after drinking it thoroughly, his thoughts became clearer.

At this time, he asked in disbelief, "Where did Mu Tianbo get kicked out of Yunnan?"

"Yes, Sun Kewang and Ai Nengqi entered Yunnan under the banner of helping the suppression campaign and avenging the Mu family. Duke Qian thought it could be used, so he funded some soldiers, horses, food and grass. Unexpectedly, Sun Kewang's men were extremely capable of fighting, so they used it again. With these tricks, they actually occupied Kunming and captured Shading Prefecture. Duke Qian was overjoyed when he heard that, and quickly asked Sun Kewang to take Shading Prefecture to Chuxiong, but Sun Kewang refused, and instead asked Duke Qian to go to Kunming. The public did not have any doubts, but as soon as he left Chuxiong, before he reached Kunming, he was told that Chuxiong was attacked by Sun Kewang, he lost his lair, and now he is homeless." Yu Taichu said.

During the battle of Wanxian, Sun Kewang left the battlefield with a thousand men, but he did not expect that he would enter the forest like a tiger, stirring up a demonic wind in this remote place in Yunnan.

Wang Yan didn't have the time to hunt him down at the time, and with Sun Kewang, he probably couldn't even beat a bigger chieftain, so he didn't care too much, but he didn't expect that it was only a few months, how could even Mu Tianbo was driven out of Yunnan?How could Sun Kewang have such strength?
"How is Yunnan now? Has Shadingzhou been killed?" Wang Yan asked.

"Hui Xianggong, at this time, Sun Kewang is under the pseudonym King Qin, and his territory has five or six mansions. The number of people has expanded to tens of thousands, and the exact number is not clear." Yu Taichu recalled: "As for Shading Prefecture, it is said that he was not killed, but instead He was proclaimed King of Zhennan by Sun Kewang. At present, this is the only news, and the specifics will not be known until the military newspaper comes."

After Wang Yan heard this, he understood in his heart. It is estimated that after Sun Kewang captured Sha Dingzhou, the two of them reached some kind of filth, and turned Mu Tianbo into a trap. Otherwise, Sun Kewang would not be able to defeat the two strong players in such a short period of time. .

Although Sun Kewang was the head of the four kings of Daxi, he was nothing in Wang Yan's eyes, and he didn't pay much attention to it, so that he almost forgot about it, but this made Wang Yan re-examine it.

He plays one faction and fights the other faction, and his tactics are sneaky, and he was unwilling to be incorporated at the beginning, which shows that he has a lot of ambitions. When he rectifies Yunnan, Shadingzhou probably won't live long.

From this point of view, a considerable force will rise in the southwest, which is really not good news for the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Yan thought for a while, but couldn't come up with a solution to Yunnan for a while, so he changed the subject and asked, "What about the happy event? Tell me about the great happy event!"

When Yu Taichu heard this, his face was full of smiles, and he said with a dog-legged smile: "I have to congratulate Mr. Xianggong first, and I have to call you Your Highness from now on."

Wang Yan frowned, he had already guessed it, but he was still happy when he heard it.This is not all because the emperor wants to be named king, and the emperor can only be happy if he can compromise. This is a manifestation of political maturity. If there is a compromise, there will be a discussion. The court struggle will not be so rigid.

"The servant sent by His Majesty has already left Guangjing with the letter of pardon and the gold seal, and will arrive in two days." Yu Taichu added happily.

In fact, Wang Yan also knew that he was named the king of this county, at least he controlled Guangdong and Guangxi, and he still had 10,000+ strong soldiers. Turn around and deal with him, and even now someone is trying to bring him down, but he has no way of turning back, he can only go forward.

"It's indeed a happy event!" Wang Yan said meaningfully.

The next day, as expected, a servant came to Xinxing County to announce the decree. After Wang Yan bathed and burned incense, he prepared to worship the letter of pardon in the main hall. Lu Shikui and other relatives also came to the hall neatly dressed.

Wang Yan talked with several servants first, and then led everyone to solemnly salute to receive the edict in the center of the hall. After the head servant waited for everyone to bow down, he slowly unfolded the edict, and read out loudly in the eunuch's unique sharp voice: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said, the cabinet scholar, the governor of the five provinces, and the Duke of the Chu State, support the establishment of a policy in the front, and restore Chu and Jiangxi to rescue the driver. Now there is Guangfu Quan, Zhang, and the recovery of eastern Sichuan and southern Sichuan. , is indeed a pillar of the imperial court, a minister of my humerus. Now I will reward you for your hard work. Jinqing is the king of Hengyang County. I hope you will repay your kindness and help protect the Han Dynasty. I admire this."

After the servant finished reading the edict, he slowly closed it again, put his hands in front of Wang Yan, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, accept the edict."

After hearing the decree, Wang Yan felt a burst of emotion, he was the only living king with a different surname in the Ming Dynasty.

Immediately he bowed down, Hong Sheng said: "I am trusted by Your Majesty, and I have been promoted many times before, but the Southern Capital has not been restored, Jianyi has not been eliminated, and the county king has become a noble, how can I be able to take this position? I implore the servant to take back his order!"

Naturally, this is not what Wang Yan said in his heart, but according to the rules of the officialdom, this title cannot be accepted too neatly, especially for a noble who breaks the rules like the county king. If he directly receives the edict, he may be accused of being a prince Too ugly.

As a literati, Wang Xiang is well-known and coquettish. This resignation is necessary, but he is hypocritical, and the servants are a bit more miserable. He ran straight three times, and finally sent the letter of pardon in the Duke Chu's mansion in Guangjing. , Emperor Longwu was even more depressed.
