In the lobby of Guiyang Mansion, she was pressed into the snow.
When the whip was drawn, the leaders of the Shuixi Forty-eight Division were waiting hundreds of miles away to kill officials and rebel and bloodbath Guiyang as soon as she gave the order.
The person who beat her was named Ma Ye, and he was the commander of Guizhou City. He wanted to force the Yi people to rebel, so that he could justifiably massacre all the 48 Shuixi tribes.
But Shexiang said nothing.
Three months later, she appeared at the Nanjing Imperial Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "What do you want?"
She knelt down and raised her head: "I want a road. From Guizhou to Yunnan, from Shuixi to the Central Plains."
The emperor laughed, killed the official who humiliated her, and named her Mrs. Shunde.
Later, she opened Jiuyi and built 560 miles of mountain roads.
Those roads have been walked for six hundred years and are still being walked.
Later generations called it Longchang Jiuyi.
