The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

The veins on Sheng Yuan's forehead suddenly jumped!

The throbbing blue veins sounded like they were screaming.

She opened her mouth and then immediately covered it.

Her eyes were also wide open, revealing her surprise.

"..." Sheng Ran saw through her sister's doubt and immediately glared at her, "That's enough! Put away your imagination!"

Sheng Yuan heard her sister say this and looked at her expression carefully. She realized that she had really thought too much. She breathed a sigh of relief and made a few circles with her hands from her temples: "It's quiet! It's really quiet this time!"

"You're so talkative!" Sheng Ran laughed angrily. After tapping her twice in the air, he suddenly became serious, "No more joking... I called you back in a hurry this time because I have something important to ask of you."

Sheng Yuan heard the heaviness in her sister's tone and immediately became serious: "Sister, just say it, don't be polite to me."

"If I ask you to serve as the deputy governor of the Five Military Governorate, can you do it?!" Sheng Ran asked in a deep voice.

Sheng Yuan paused and quickly asked, "Which of the five deputy governors do you want to be?"

"First Deputy Governor!"

Sheng Ran said it with certainty. Even though Sheng Yuan had guessed it before, he couldn't help but gasp at this moment.

The Five Military Commandery that my sister mentioned was a department that was added in the 62nd year of Chengyuan. The five armies under its jurisdiction were the South Sentinel Army, North Sentinel Army, Central Army, East Camp Army, and West Camp Army that guarded the capital.

Before the establishment of the Five Army Headquarters, the Central Army was the main force among the Five Armies. The north and south outposts and the east and west camps had to obey the dispatch of the Central Army and cooperate with the actions of the Central Army after the imperial order was issued.

However, this rule was abolished by Emperor Chengyuan after the Battle of Kyoto. Later, the "Five Military Command Office" was established to command the five armies.

When the Five Military Commandery was established, the position of "Five Military Commander-in-Chief" was clearly defined and was directly held by the emperor.

In other words, as long as there is the emperor's edict, the "first deputy commander-in-chief" under the commander-in-chief of the five armies will be the actual person in charge of the five military commanders' office.

Unlike the first deputy governor who has the power to command the five armies, the other four deputy governors who are responsible for "military supplies, training, military selection, and liaison" are all in charge of tedious military affairs.

Now, her sister asked her to sit in this position, which shows that the situation in Kyoto is not as simple as it seems.

"Yuan Jie'er, this position must belong to you!" Sheng Ran looked at Sheng Yuan without allowing any refusal, and said word by word, "After you take office, you must master the five armies as quickly as possible, eliminate those who should not exist and those who have unclear positions on the margins, train a team that can replace the existing team of the City Defense Battalion and the City Patrol Division, and cooperate with the Inner Guards to restrain the Nine Cities Military Forces!"

"Hindering?!" Sheng Yuan didn't quite understand what he had said. "The emperor gave the military power of the Nine Cities to my uncle. Didn't he want my sister and Xiongwa to control the City Defense Camp and the City Patrol?"

"Your Majesty means well, but I don't trust them." Sheng Ran shook her head indifferently.

"Can't trust it? Could it be..."

"It has nothing to do with you!" Sheng Ran saw Sheng Yuan hesitated and waved her hand. "No matter if he cheated you in the first place, I can't put my safety in the hands of others in the current situation... Everything depends on others, so we must be prepared to be devoured by them. However, neither Xiongwa nor I can bear the bad consequences!"

"The current situation? Sister, is it really that serious?" Sheng Yuan found that her sister never mentioned the emperor, and when she thought of the rumors outside, she couldn't help but shudder.

  This is so serious that anyone caught should be on guard, why didn't the emperor say anything? !

People outside say that the emperor is in seclusion in Qingyuan Palace, but my sister just said that the emperor is in Yongxiang Palace... So, is the emperor okay now? ! (End of this chapter)
