Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

After settling down in Xie Ziran's yamen, he took a nice bath and changed his clothes, and then Su Mu took a sedan chair to go to the camp of the commander-in-chief of Datong Town.

There are three government agencies in Datong City: Datong Town, Shanxi Xingdusi and Datong Prefect Yamen.

Among them, the Xingyuan of the General Army Officer in Datong Town is the largest.

After all, as one of the nine important towns, Datong Town has [-] soldiers and horses under its jurisdiction.Moreover, the Datong Town Army is likely to be the main force in this battle against Tatar.

Looking at the ground, the yamen of the chief military officer in Datong Town is astonishingly large, covering an area of ​​at least [-] acres. There are two bluestone lions placed at the entrance, coupled with the majestic gate, it looks very majestic.

After getting out of the sedan chair, before Mending could report, he saw a fourth-rank official coming out of the sedan chair trembling, his legs were so weak that he seemed unable to stand.

There were two yamen servants who went up to greet them very much: "Fu Jun, Fu Jun, what's the matter with you?"

Su Mu looked intently, only to find that this person was Guan Jizong.

No, there seems to be something wrong.

After careful observation, it was discovered that the prefect Guan had dyed his hair.Probably because he came in a hurry, the dye on his hair was not dry yet, and it made a mess of the red pimples on his body.

Seeing that he was afraid of being like this, he was obviously scolded by the emperor, and he might even lose his official position.

Su Mu was startled, and rushed to meet him: "Master Guan, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that it was Su Mu, Guan Zhifu came back to his senses, trembling, and said in a weeping voice: "The Son of Heaven is sage, sympathetic to the old minister, and bestowed a piece of brocade on the lower official, the grace of the saint is deep, the grace of the saint is deep!"

As he spoke, tears fell.

Su Mu felt relieved, and asked for a long time before he found out.It turned out that Zhengde saw that the refugees were properly resettled along the way. In such a massive military disaster, Datong Mansion did not freeze to death and starve to death. hair.

Su Mu: "It turned out to be the case, that's good, that's good." He was also happy in his heart, Guan Jizong is now his man, he was rewarded by the emperor, and he was also happy for him.However, for Guan Jizong's relief to the refugees, and to help Xie Ziran prepare for the new army, Su Mu went to the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War several times to ask for a lot of relief money for them.

He jokingly asked again: "Master Guan, why did your hair turn black?"

After being comforted by Su Mu for a long time, Guan Jizong's mood finally calmed down. Hearing his question, he couldn't help but feel his old face blushing: "I used Artemisia sativa, and it's winter, so I can only use this kind of thing. Otherwise, my hair will be even darker." "Qian Jin Yi Fang" records some prescriptions for black beard and hair, such as raw oil stained ebony, which is often used to apply touliang; Of."

Su Mu laughed loudly: "Your Majesty is profound, and Su Mu admires it."

Laughing loudly, he walked up to the gate, explained his identity, and asked them to go in and report.

After a while, Mending came over and said that His Majesty said he could go in.

Emperor Zhengde was a casual person and didn't pay much attention to it. After entering the headquarters of the commander-in-chief, he sat directly in the signing room to watch matters.

When Su Mu entered the house, he saw a lot of people inside. They looked like they were all generals leading troops. ,

Several guards guarded the door, Su Mu was a close minister of the emperor, so he was let in without notification.

The signing room is not wide, so many people rush in at once, it seems very crowded.

Emperor Zhengde was writing something with a pen, when he saw Su Mu coming in, he raised his eyebrows: "Why are you here?"

Su Mu: "Didn't the general say that Su Mu can return to the capital by himself, or he can join the general's shogunate as a military counselor? Su Mu chose to be this counselor and serve the general."

Hearing that he announced his family name, and that he is the No. 1 scholar in China, Sumu, the expressions of several generals changed.

Zhengde smiled coldly: "You, a scholar, also want to fight in the battlefield?"

Su Mu didn't talk nonsense, went straight to the back of the imperial case, and raised a pen: "Does the general have military orders to draft? Su Mu may not be as good as the general in terms of fighting, but when it comes to writing articles with a pen, he is slightly better." One chip."

Zhengde was stunned, but there was nothing he could do with sumu.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Write down a military order and inform the troops on all sides. From now on, all military orders will be controlled by Zhu Shou, the governor's military affairs general."

Su Mu dipped some ink, and wrote a military order in one swoop, and then stretched out his hand: "General, your seal."

Zhengde had no choice but to point to Fang Xiaoxi on the case.

Su Mu stamped the seal and handed it to a secretary: "Send it, it's urgent."

Emperor Zhengde: "Write another order, ordering the soldiers and horses in all towns to arrive at the designated battlefield within [-] days. If there is any delay, beheaded!"

Su Mu stopped writing.

Zhengde frowned: "What's wrong?"

Sumu: "Do you want to add a sentence that must be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Tatars?"

Zhengde suddenly took a breath of air: "Well said, let's write it like this." He seemed to realize that there was something in Su Mu's words, and vaguely grasped something.

So, one after another military orders were released like running water, and after a long time of busy work, Su Mu finally finished handling the affairs at hand.Su Mu hadn't accompanied him for many years, and suddenly he felt a hearty feeling.

Zhengde was also shocked, suddenly found that with Su Mu by his side, many things were handled very smoothly.Whether it's military affairs or civil affairs, as long as he mentions one sentence, Su Mu seems to immediately understand what he wants to do next, and there is no need to speak clearly.Moreover, the army's available soldiers, the amount of food and fodder, and Shanxi's mountain topography seemed to be in his heart. When writing orders, he could report an accurate number without thinking about it.

Seeing that Su Mu is so good, the other generals were full of admiration on their faces, and they also showed a little more respect when they answered.

Zhengde's face gradually softened, and he thought to himself: This Su Mu is indeed from my East Palace, his face is my face.This time I personally conquered Tatar, although the officers on the six sides did not say it verbally, they may not be convinced in their hearts. This time, let them see the methods of our monarchs and ministers.

To be honest, Zhengde had already thought about reconciling with Su Mu in the past two years.Thinking about it in private, now I only have Su Mu who can speak from the bottom of my heart.However, Su Mu made a mistake about Liu Ban.The problem is, he refuses to admit his mistakes in front of me. Could it be possible that Liu Ban deserves to die if I ask him to admit his mistakes?

This time, no matter how I neglected him along the way.But Su Mu still chose to come to Datong, which shows that he still has me in his heart.

It is a good thing to be able to fight side by side with him.

Thinking of this, Zhengde was both sad and a little happy.

I cried out in my heart: Come on, come on, come on, let's not mention the past, anyway, Liu Ban won't survive.Could it be that after I lost Liu Ban, now I am going to lose Su Mu, my only friend?

"General, this is your jade seal." Su Mu returned the little seal.

Zhengde raised his eyebrows: "You are the general's counselor for military affairs, so you can keep this Fang Xiaoxi at hand, so it will be convenient for you to do things." According to the system, the emperor or a general of the first army has a separate palm seal officer to facilitate the handling of daily affairs.Most of the people who act as the palm print officer are the closest aides or assistants.

Su Mu was happy in his heart, this is already unreserved trust, "Yes."

The other generals also took a deep breath. They had heard that Su Mu was a close minister of the emperor, and the number one confidant of Donggong Longqian, but they did not expect that the favor was so generous.
