After so long, the Queen Mothers of the two palaces had already figured out the general situation of the Suzaku Army. Yang Siyue was seriously ill and could no longer be in charge of the Suzaku Army, so she chose Yang Mu as his successor.

It's just that the Suzaku Army is the royal army after all, and the Yang family's private choice of successor is out of line.

Fortunately, the empress dowager was there to support him, so it was hard for the two empress dowagers to say anything.

Empress Dowager Sheng couldn't hold back her anger and asked first: "I heard that all the female soldiers of the Suzaku Army have signed a contract of betrayal?"

Yang Siyue said helplessly: "It is difficult to recruit female soldiers, so we have to make this decision. Although these sergeants were bought with money from the Yang family, and they were signed by the Yang family. But after all, they belong to the royal army, and I still hope that the royal family will take them back." ."

Yang Siyue's words clearly stated that the Yang family was just buying these troops on behalf of the royal family, but they hoped that the royal family would reimburse the money.

But this money cannot come from the Ministry of Household Affairs, because the Suzaku Army is the royal bodyguard, not the national army, so the money can only come from the royal family's private treasury, the House of Internal Affairs.

During the reign of Emperor Jiaji, he used heavenly materials and earthly treasures to refine elixirs, which cost the Ministry of Internal Affairs a lot of money.

After the death of Emperor Jiaji, there was a national mourning and the new emperor ascended the throne, which caused further losses.

Later, Emperor Xibao died, and two younger emperors ascended the throne one after another, and there was another loss.

Although the state treasury provided the bulk of these national ceremonies, the Ministry of Internal Affairs did have to show its support, so there were only a few hundred thousand taels of silver left.

Since the Queen Mother of the two palaces took charge of the world, they lived a luxurious life, held grand palace feasts and built many emperors' tombs, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs was stretched thin.

The two queen mothers looked at each other, unable to say anything to ask the Yang family to hand over the deed of betrayal for free.

Moreover, once the deed of betrayal is handed over for free, it is hard to say who the Suzaku Army belongs to.

Empress Dowager Tao wanted it, and Empress Dowager Sheng naturally wanted it too.

So you can’t buy it with your own money, right?Wouldn't that make the ministers of the DPRK and China drown in their saliva?
In the past few days, those veteran ministers and clan officials who were criticizing the emperor had already forced the two empress dowagers to release Prince Huan. If private money was added to buy the Suzaku Army, the empress dowager might have to leave the country.

The empress dowagers of the two palaces could only endure their excitement and stand still for the time being. Since neither the empress dowager nor the Ministry of Internal Affairs had money, no one could buy the Suzaku Army's deed of betrayal.

After greetings, the debriefing began.

The debriefing is actually very simple, just tell the empress dowagers of the two palaces that the Suzaku Army has fully taken over the palace, and there is nothing wrong with it for the time being.

After the debriefing was over, Yang Siyue went to visit the Empress Dowager and some old friends in the palace. However, Yang Mu was busy with official duties and did not follow and left the palace on his own.

The Suzaku Army finally reappeared in front of everyone, but they couldn't fail in the first task, let people participate in a play, and then go back to the valley to play.

She wants to find a future for these 1 people.

I and several generals carefully deduced the matters of escorting Concubine Hu tomorrow, which palace gate to leave, which road to take, how to clear the road, and how to escort her.

It wasn't until early in the morning that things were safe.

Yang Mu watched everyone retreat from the meeting hall and slowly closed his eyes.

Bai Yao came in and cupped his hands and said, "Deputy Commander, the horses are ready."

Yang Mu opened his eyes, got up and went out, riding back to Yang's house.

……

Early in the morning, at a quarter past three o'clock, it was still dark.

On the wide streets of the capital, three thousand golden-armored female soldiers, either on horseback or on foot, marched in an orderly manner to the north gate of the palace and stopped in an orderly manner. From a distance, they could see a cold golden light.

Yang Mu, who was riding a black leopard at the front, dismounted and said to the cavalry captain Qin Lan and Guo Xiaoqian behind him: "You lead the troops and wait here, I will go into the palace to greet him."

With that said, he handed the Dragon Back Ghost Head Sword to the two of them and entered the palace alone.

In the palace, no one except the imperial guards can carry weapons.The Queen Mother was old, woke up early, and was having breakfast.

When Yang Mu entered the ceremony, he was wearing armor and did not need to bow down.

The Empress Dowager looked at Yang Mu lovingly, nodded and said, "She has the style of your great-aunt."

Yang Mu had never seen Yang Siyue wearing armor and went into battle. After hearing what the Empress Dowager said, she only said a few words of humility.

The Empress Dowager said: "Concubine Shu is still packing her bags. You can go."

Looking at the encouraging eyes of the Empress Dowager, Yang Mu was in a good mood and excused himself to the back hall.

The back hall was brightly lit, and people were coming and going in an orderly manner, but with a hint of hurry.

Yang Mu was led into Yang Yi's dormitory, watching the dozen or so palace servants tidying up, while Concubine Shu sat at the table and had breakfast.

Seeing Yang Mu come in, Yang Yi hurriedly stood up and pulled her to prevent her from saluting. Instead, she sat at the table, pointed at a bowl of lotus seed porridge, and said: "I must have not eaten breakfast. Let's try the palace's craftsmanship."

Yang Mu sat down and had breakfast with Yang Yi while telling her about today's schedule.

In fact, today's itinerary has been written out a long time ago, and Yang Yi has also read it. After hearing Yang Mu say it again, he lowered his voice and asked in surprise: "We want to take the land route? But the book said it was a water route. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will prepare the boat. alright."

In fact, the most comfortable way to go from the palace to the palace is by water. From the wide waterway in the imperial garden, it only takes an hour to sail all the way to the palace, while it takes an hour and a half to go by land.

Yang Mu shook his head and lowered his voice and said: "The waterway is passable, there are too many bridges passing by, and we can't all clear the roads. The Suzaku Army is not a navy army, so it is difficult to guard against it. On the contrary, the land roads are all wide roads with two arrows. You are not afraid of assassins on both sides, and secondly, it is convenient for the protection of the Suzaku Army."

Yang Yi was thoughtful and asked: "Is it a temporary change?"

Yang Mu nodded and said, "It's just to confuse those who are interested."

Yang Yi nodded slightly. It didn't matter to her how she got to the palace, as long as it was safe.

After the two of them had eaten, the sky began to brighten and the morning fog began to rise.

Now that the boat was ready, Yang Mule had to pack lightly and transport all the salutes to the boat. Then he took Yang Yi and the young Li You to bid farewell to the Empress Dowager and left the north gate of the palace.

The empress dowagers of the two palaces were attending court in the morning, and Yang Yi had left yesterday.

Two luxurious cars were prepared at the north gate, and Yang Yi got on one of them.

Yang Mu came out of the north gate with two luanqi, then flew on his horse, took the Dragon's Back Ghost Head Sword from Guo Xiaoqian, waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"

A golden light, driving slowly in the thick fog.

Most of the maids serving Yang Yi took the waterway, and the one who followed Yang Yi was her personal female officer Luo.

Ms. Luo hugged Li You and said to Yang Yi: "Mother, let's leave the palace like this. From now on..."

It will be difficult to come back in the future.

Yang Yi looked at the lamp in the carriage and lovingly looked at her son who was sleeping in Lady Luo's arms, and said slowly: "Although wealth is found in danger, in today's world, we don't understand it, so we might as well avoid it first." .Saving one’s life is the last word. Without one’s life, there is nothing.”

She tugged Li You's sleeves down and continued: "No matter what happens, our little highness is still a prince."

But if you are a prince, you must find a way to fiefdom and plan carefully to establish your power. Otherwise, if the emperor thinks of it one day, it may not be safe.

Miss Luo looked around and said in a lowered voice: "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess, are you trustworthy?"

Although Yang Mu is the eldest daughter of the Yang family, she is now married to the eldest son of Prince Ding. If the Lin family has any position, will Yang Mu really support and protect Concubine Shu and His Highness?
Yang Yi looked at Miss Luo slowly and said, "She is my niece. If I don't trust her, how can I trust others?"

Miss Luo was silent. The situation in the world was so treacherous, who could say for sure?
