Mugui

Based on the topographic map of the palace area brought by Lin Xiao, Yang Mu spent the whole morning drawing the preliminary camp blueprint.

At lunch time, Mrs. Bao, who was confused by the ledger, remembered that Yang Mu did not go to the Morning and Dusk Dingzhou today.

Yang Mu said indifferently: "The prince is not going either."

Mrs. Bao was about to say that the prince had military affairs, but after thinking about it, didn't Yang Mu also have military affairs?
When paying regards to the princess, one cannot go beyond military affairs.

Yang Mu smiled proudly and said, "It seems that being a female general has a lot of benefits."

Seeing Yang Mu's proud smile, Mrs. Bao said: "Don't be silly now, the account books will be almost checked tonight. You have to protect Concubine Shu and His Highness the next day, so you'd better deal with the matter at hand as soon as possible. .”

There were many capable people in the dowry that Yang Mu brought. The account books quickly revealed clues and found many flaws. All that was left was the settlement this afternoon.

Yang Mu never doubted Mrs. Bao's ability to do things. After hearing this, he nodded and said, "I will go to the military camp in the afternoon and see how Uncle Qi's interrogation went."

Yang Mu had told Mrs. Bao about this, so the old lady just nodded and went to work.

Mrs. Bao finished her meal in a hurry and went to the steward's yard. Yang Mu put on his armor and rode out of the house in an upright manner and headed straight out of the city.

A female general wearing armor was riding a horse, which still attracted a lot of people's attention. Some well-informed people naturally knew that this was the deputy commander-in-chief of the Suzaku Army, while some stubborn people thought that a woman wearing a wedding dress It is serious, but wearing armor is treason.

Yang Mu ignored the various looks and returned to the valley military camp first.

The coupon submitted this morning has been approved.Because they would be guarding Concubine Shu and her son the next day, the Suzaku Army needed to dispatch some sergeants today and station them at the newly approved place.

When Yang Mu returned to the valley, he found that everyone was happily packing their things, and some heavy baggage had been loaded onto the truck.

When everyone saw her, they all saluted with admiration in their eyes.

The Suzaku Army has been hidden in the snow for so long, and the young commander will be able to see it again as soon as he takes office.If you say that this matter has nothing to do with the young commander, no one will believe it.

Yang Mu rode up to the main tent and went in directly without announcing anything.

Yang Siyue was in great spirits today. She was sitting on the bed, reading the military newspaper with the light coming from the window.

Seeing Yang Mu come in, Yang Siyue was in a good mood and asked Cui Sanniang to move a small stool.

Yang Mu sat down, glanced at Cui Sanniang, and said, "Auntie, I have something to discuss with you."

Yang Siyue waved her hand, and Cui Sanniang silently retreated.

Yang Mu showed Yang Siyue a brochure in his hand and said, "This is the brochure I wrote for the temporary deployment of the Suzaku Army. It also includes the camp layout."

After Yang Siyue took a rough look at it, she smiled and said, "It's very fast to get started. I guess there must be someone behind the scenes to give me some guidance, right?"

Some details cannot be written without years of experience.

Yang Mu nodded, told Lin Xiao about helping, and then said: "Auntie, let's see if there are any changes?" Yang Siyue shook her head and said: "For the time being, we will follow this regulation. After the military camp is stationed, we will slowly adjust it. Yes. You have many things to do now, but you still have to put the safety of Concubine Shu and her son first."

Yang Mu also felt that this was the case, and said: "This time, we originally did not need as many as 1 people to protect the safety of Concubine Shu, mother and son, and the palace. I am not yet clear about the Empress Dowager's plans."

This is what she wants to say today.

Yang Siyue was silent for a moment, sighed faintly, and said: "After Princess Protector, the military talisman of the Suzaku Army is in the hands of the Empress Dowager. She can naturally mobilize the Suzaku Army."

Yang Mu took out a blood jade and red bird jade tablet from his arms and said, "My great aunt is the commander-in-chief. This military talisman should be given to my great aunt."

Yang Siyue shook her head, reached out and pushed back the jade token handed over by Yang Mu, and said, "How can I keep the jade token like this? I'll feel more at ease if I leave it to you."

Yang Mu didn't refuse too much. She was never good at pushing back and forth, and what Yang Siyue said was true.

Yang Siyue continued: "It's just that once they protect Princess Shu and her son, the Suzaku Army will be involved in the struggle for imperial power. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."

She looked at her niece, who was only a teenager in front of her, and said: "Concubine Shu was born in the Yang family, and she gave birth to the little highness. You and I cannot escape this fate. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Suzaku Army can also be regarded as I can live under the sun."

Yang Mu said: "There is something I am a little undecided about."

Yang Siyue looked at her with raised eyebrows. The young deputy commander raised his eyebrows and said: "From the generals to the soldiers, everyone in the Suzaku Army has sold themselves to death contracts. But how can the imperial army use people who have sold themselves to death contracts? Besides, people who have sold themselves to death contracts have been killed." If it is still in the hands of our Yang family, I'm afraid it will be troublesome in the future."

When Yang Siyue heard her talk about this matter, she sighed helplessly and said: "The Empress Dowager could not use the money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to support the Suzaku Army. If she had to pay for it herself, it would be too obvious, so she became Our Yang family will come forward."

She reached for a cup of tea beside the bed and took a slow sip. It was a little cold, so Yang Mu refilled it for her.

Yang Siyue stopped drinking, and said slowly: "Now that the Suzaku Army has appeared, people from the Ministry of War will naturally find out that the Yang family has supported the Suzaku Army's expenses over the years, and it has become like a private army of the Yang family."

Yang Mu said: "Chen Zhimiao, Minister of War, is a member of Empress Dowager Sheng. I have never been on good terms with the Sheng family."

Yang Siyue suddenly smiled and said: "I have heard about your story. It was your second aunt who offended you and she asked for her own destruction. But the Sheng family in the south of the Yangtze River and the Sheng family in the capital are not the same."

She sat up straighter and said: "The Jiangnan Sheng family has only one branch struggling to support itself, and none of the children of the branch can do anything. The only way for the Jiangnan Sheng family is to marry. However, the only way to see it is Sheng Jiaojiao, who was able to survive, now has no future. The Jiangnan Sheng family will never be able to make trouble again.

"The Sheng family in the capital is different. Empress Dowager Sheng's father is the Marquis of Jing'an, who has [-] soldiers. Although the reserves in the family are not outstanding, they are quite satisfactory. With this kind of help, Empress Dowager Sheng will not be able to defeat her easily. of."

Yang Mu did not say that he did not want to overthrow the Queen Mother Sheng, because this was a child's words. Once involved in the struggle for imperial power, everything would be out of his control.

The Yang family and the Lin family seemed to have no choice. They would not watch the innocent baby Li You being implicated.

As the eldest daughter of the Yang family and the eldest concubine of the Lin family, Yang Mu could not escape.

Yang Siyue reached out and patted the back of Yang Mu's hand and said, "Don't worry, as long as you keep Concubine Shu and her son safe, there is still a chance for everything."

Yang Mu nodded slightly. As long as the queen mothers of the two palaces did not come to kill Concubine Shu and her son, the Yang family, the Lin family, and the Suzaku Army could all sit back and observe the situation first.
