After the two left, Gonggong Tan looked at the people who came to the courtyard with a tea bowl and occasionally shuttled, turned back to Mu Yunyi and said: "The house is good on the one hand, and the people who serve are even more important, except for the two girls Biying and Luoshuang, all the people in this princess's mansion are from Dongzhao, and the old slave is always uneasy in his heart, but he just saw that this Zheng is in charge, and he behaves properly and decently, and the people he saw along the way are also aware of proportions and have no different intentions, and the old slave can rest assured." ”

Mu Yunyi was surprised, no wonder Uncle Zheng carefully examined and looked at every subordinate in the mansion, especially Uncle Zheng, who was originally "checking" the people in the mansion for her. Gonggong Tan has been up and down in the palace for decades, and he is the most powerful at recognizing people, and he can understand at a glance who has what he thinks.

Mu Yunyi did not hesitate to affirm Uncle Zheng and the other subordinates in the mansion: "They are all loyal, especially Uncle Zheng, everything in this mansion is taken care of by him, and there has never been a mistake." ”

"That's good, the slave is old, and he always thinks a lot, and the princess doesn't think about the old slave."

"What are you talking about, father-in-law, you are thinking about everything for the palace, and it's too late for the palace to be grateful."

"Grandpa Tan, you're here!" At this time, Rong Yue, who came back from outside, also came in.

Mu Yunyi looked behind Rong Yue and asked, "Ah Yue, didn't you take Zi Wei to the horse market this morning, why are you alone?" ”

"Just now when we came in, we saw Uncle Zheng counting those objects outside, and Zi Wei couldn't walk when he saw those rare and precious things."

Mu Yunyi smiled, "Let him go." There is silent pampering in her eyes, and she always seems to love and indulge Zixiao, a child.

"Miss Rong came just in time, General Zhuguo has a letter for the old slave to bring to you."

"General Zhuguo?" Rong Yue questioned, you must know that there have been three dynasties in the West Dome that have not been crowned as a general of the Pillar Kingdom, but looking at Tan Gonggong's eyes, it seems that he is not a joke.

Hearing that this letter was especially for Rong Yue, Mu Yunyi had already reacted first, "Father-in-law, are you talking about General Xiao?" ”

"The princess is smart, and the old slave is talking about General Xiao Yexiao."

"Gonggong Tan, you said that the general is now ...... General of the Pillar Kingdom? ”

"Yes, the day before the old slave left, the emperor personally named General Xiao as the general of the Zhengyi Zhuguo in the court, this will is fresh and hot, and it is common for the princess not to know it."

Although Rong Yue, who knew the news, didn't say anything, there was a slight tremor and excitement between her eyebrows.

Mu Yunyi seemed to have already known, and nodded: "It seems that Yun Duo has found the right time." ”

"The right time?" Rong Yue became more and more puzzled.

"When Yun Duo ascended the throne, he intended to promote General Xiao's rank, from the second rank of General Huaihua to the first rank, but I stopped him." Facing Rong Yue, Mu Yunyi had no reservations, and said calmly: "Military generals have always been awarded, or the founding heroes, or the victories of the war, and although General Xiao has long been worthy of the position of a first-class general, but at that time, neither of them was occupied. ”

Hearing this, Rong Yue immediately understood, and continued: "If the general had been promoted to a first-class general at that time, some people would have said that the general was loyal to the emperor because he coveted the power of high-ranking officials. ”

"That's right, so I suggested to Yun Duo that for the time being, I would not be promoted to General Xiao, and when the general would make meritorious contributions in the future, everything would be justified and come to fruition, and it would all be a matter of time."

Rong Yue secretly exclaimed at this time, it turned out that sitting on the throne of power, it was not only what she saw in front of her, but also countless painstaking considerations that were difficult for others to detect, and even the timing of a minister's promotion to the throne had to be thoughtful.

Thinking like this, Rong Yue also realized another key problem, she raised her head and said to Gonggong Tan eagerly: "So what has the general done?" ”

"General, he pacified the Southern Domain."

"Wu Ma Clan!"

"Wu Ma Clan!"

Gonggong Tan shook off the dust and nodded: "Exactly, now all the people in the Wuma Domain King and his clan have been brought back to Hyunyin City to be imprisoned pending trial."

Mu Yunyi and Rong Yue first exclaimed in unison, and then looked at each other tacitly, confirming the scorching heat in each other's eyes.

This was not only out of excitement for Xiao Ye's great achievements, but also out of surprise because the predicament in the south of the West Dome had finally been solved.

The Wuma clan was originally one of the three major feudal clans of the founding of the Western Dome, and occupied the same status as Meng Li's Taqiu clan, but because its location was very remote from the imperial capital Hunyin City, separated by three mountains and two rivers, the royal family has always given appropriate autonomy to the Wuma clan. But I didn't expect that the Wuma clan was more and more out of the control of the Xiqiong Imperial Power, according to the convention, in addition to the major matters in the court or the clan need to enter the court, every year at the winter banquet by the prince instead of the vassal king into the capital to worship, and the Wuma clan has repeatedly let the envoys instead, after Mu Yunyi's imperial grandfather is old, he is looking for excuses to refuse to worship many times, and for some of the decrees promulgated by the emperor, he will go against the yang and the yin and annex other surrounding tribes.

The imperial court was determined not to turn a blind eye anymore, and the crown prince at that time, Mu Ting, personally led the troops and pacified the Southern Domain.

Who knew that Mu Ting led the troops to go out, the old emperor suddenly died, and Mu Ling falsely spread the news that the prince died at the border and usurped the throne, and later used Mu Ting's mother as a coercion, so that Mu Ting, who returned to the dynasty, automatically gave up the throne.

Under the turbulence of the change of imperial power, the Wuma clan, which was originally taken by Mu Ting, revived, and at that time Mu Ting was excluded and humiliated by the imperial brother Mu Ling, and he no longer had the spare strength to pacify the affairs of the Southern Domain, so a few years later, the revival of the Wu Ma clan was even more intensified than before, disrespecting the imperial court, annexing the border clans, and privately interacting with other countries.

Therefore, the Wu Ma clan of the Southern Domain once became a big problem that was difficult to get rid of in the Western Dome Court, but it was obvious that neither Mu Ling nor the later Empress Dowager Xi's mother and son were capable of solving the thorny problem of the Southern Domain.

Later, after Mu Yunduo regained the throne, he made an oath with Mu Yunyi that when the court was stabilized, he would pacify the Southern Domain and inherit the style of his father.

Now that Xiao Ye has led his troops to the battle, subdued the Southern Domain, pacified the Wuma tribe, solved the hidden dangers in the south of the West Dome, and made such a great achievement, he was named the general of the Zhengyi Zhuguo, which is really logical and understandable!

After the death of his father Lao Zhuguo, Xiao Ye did not want to live under his father's halo, gave up the army of General Xiao, and did not deliberately win over the old general's old department.
