Chapter 351: Escort
After such a long time, the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces had already figured out the general situation of the Vermilion Bird Army, Yang Siyue was seriously ill and could not continue to be in charge of the Vermilion Bird Army, so Yang Mu was selected as the heir.
It's just that the Vermilion Bird Army is also the royal army in the final analysis, and the Yang family's private choice of an heir is too much.
Fortunately, the Empress Dowager was there, and the Empress Dowager of the two palaces was not easy to say.
Empress Dowager Sheng couldn't hold back her anger, and asked first: "I heard that the female soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Army have all signed a deed of sale?" ”
Yang Siyue said helplessly: "It is difficult to recruit female soldiers, so I can only make this decision." Now, although these sergeants were bought by the Yang family, they also signed the Yang family's deed of sale. But whether they belong to the royal army, the minister still hopes that the royal family will take it back. ”
Yang Siyue's words clearly show that the Yang family just bought these troops instead of the royal family, but hoped that the royal family would reimburse the silver.
But this money can't come from the household department, because the Suzaku Army is the royal guard, not the national army, so the silver can only come from the royal private treasury of the internal affairs office.
During the period of Emperor Cargill, he used to use heavenly materials and earth treasures to refine pills, and the Internal Affairs Office lost a lot of money.
After the death of Emperor Cargill, it was a state funeral and the new emperor ascended the throne, and there was some loss.
After that, Emperor Xibao died, and the two little emperors ascended the throne one after another, and there were losses.
Although these national ceremonies are the largest part of the treasury, the Ministry of Internal Affairs does have to express it, so there are only a few hundred thousand taels of silver left.
Since the empress dowager of the two palaces took charge of the world, she has lived a luxurious life, with a large palace feast and the construction of many emperors' tombs, and the internal affairs office is stretched.
The queen mother of the two palaces glanced at each other, unable to say the words of letting the Yang family hand over the deed of sale for free.
Moreover, once the deed of sale is handed over free of charge, it is really hard to say who this Suzaku Army belongs to.
Empress Dowager Tao wants it, and Empress Dowager Sheng naturally wants it too.
So you can't buy it with private money, right? Wouldn't that make the ministers of the DPRK and China drown in saliva?
Yesterday, those old ministers and Zongren Mansion who criticized and criticized the two queen mothers had already forced the two queen mothers to release King Huan, if they added private money to buy the Suzaku Army, I am afraid that the queen mother will go out of the mountain.
The Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces could only endure her heart and stay unmoved for the time being, anyway, the Empress Dowager and the Internal Affairs Office had no money, and no one could buy the deed of sale of the Suzaku Army.
After the greetings, the debriefing began.
The debriefing is actually very simple, that is, to tell the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces that the Vermilion Bird 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 was going to take a look at the Empress Dowager and some old people in the palace, but Yang Mu was busy with official business, so he didn't follow and left the palace on his own.
Finally, the Vermilion Bird Army reappeared in front of everyone, but it couldn't be done well in the first task, let people participate in a book, and go back to the valley cat.
She wants to seek a future for these 10,000 people.
and several generals carefully deduced the matter of escorting Concubine Hu tomorrow, which palace gate to go out, which road to take, how to clear the road, and how to escort it.
It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that it was safe.
Yang Mu watched everyone retreat from the council hall and slowly closed his eyes.
Bai Yao came in and arched his hand: "Deputy commander, the horse is ready." ”
Yang Mu opened his eyes, got up and went out, and rode back to Yang's house.
……
Early in the morning, it was three o'clock, and the sky was not yet dawn.
In the wide streets of the capital, three thousand gold-armored female soldiers, either on horseback or on foot, drove methodically to the north gate of the palace and stopped, the queue was neat, and a cold golden light looked from afar.
Yang Mu, who was riding a Xuan leopard in the front, got off the horse and said to Qin Lan Guo Xiaoqian, the cavalry commander behind him: "You lead the troops and wait like this, I will enter the palace to greet you." ”
As he spoke, he handed the Dragon's Spine Ghost Head Knife in his hand to the two of them, and entered the palace alone.
In the Imperial Palace, except for the Imperial Forest Army, no one can bring a blade.
The Empress Dowager is old, she woke up early and was having breakfast.
Yang Mu entered the salute and was wearing armor, so he didn't have to bow down.
The Empress Dowager glanced at Yang Mu lovingly, nodded and said, "It's your aunt's grandmother's demeanor." ”
Yang Mu had never seen Yang Siyue in armor, and after listening to what the Empress Dowager said, he was only modest for a few words.
The Empress Dowager said: "Concubine Shu is still packing up, you can go." ”
Looking at the encouraging eyes of the Empress Dowager, Yang Mu was in a good mood and retired to the apse.
The apse was brightly lit, and people shuttling back and forth to the palace were orderly, but with a rush color.
Yang Mu was led into Yang Yi's dormitory, watching the dozen palace people clean up, and Concubine Shu sat at the table for breakfast.
Seeing Yang Mu come in, Yang Yi hurriedly stood up, pulled her not to salute, but sat at the table, pointed to a bowl of lotus seed porridge, and said, "I must not have eaten breakfast, try the craftsmanship in the palace." ”
Yang Mu sat down and accompanied Yang Yi to breakfast, while telling her about today's itinerary.
In fact, today's itinerary has already been written, and Yang Yi has also read it, and after listening to Yang Mu say it again at this moment, he lowered his voice and asked in surprise: "Do you want to take the land route?" But the fold says it's a waterway. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will have the ship ready. ”
In fact, from the palace to the palace, it is most comfortable to take the waterway, from the wide waterway of the imperial garden, all the way to the palace, it is only an hour, and it takes an hour and a half to take the land route.
Yang Mu shook his head, and also lowered his voice and said: "The waterway is passing, there are too many bridges passing by, and you can't all martial law clear the road, the Vermilion Bird Army is not a water army, and it is difficult to prevent it." However, the land route is a wide road with two arrows, one is not afraid of assassins on both sides, and the other is convenient for the protection of the Suzaku army. ”
Yang Yi thought for a moment and asked, "Is it temporary?" ”
Yang Mu nodded and said, "It's just to confuse people with hearts." ”
Yang Yi nodded slightly, how to go to the palace, it doesn't matter to her, as long as it's safe.
The two of them had eaten, and the sky began to brighten, and the morning fog rose.
Now that he was ready to sail, Yang Mule had to travel lightly, transported all the salutes to the ship, and took Yang Yi and the young Li You out of the north gate of the palace to bid farewell to the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces was in the early dynasty at this time, and Yang Yi said goodbye yesterday.
At the north gate, two luxurious Luan cars had been prepared at the moment, and Yang Yi got on one of them.
Yang Mu came out of the north gate with two Luan, and then flew on the horse, took the dragon's spine ghost head knife handed over by Guo Xiaoqian, and waved his hand in a deep voice, "Let's go!" ”
A golden light, in the thick fog, drove slowly.
Most of the palace maids who served beside Yang Yi took the waterway, and Yang Yi was followed by the female official Luo who was close to her.
Female Officer Luo hugged Li You and said to Yang Yi: "Niangniang, let's just leave the palace like this, and we will ...... in the future."
It's going to be hard to come back in the future.
Yang Yi looked lovingly at her son who was asleep in the arms of Lady Luo on the lamp and candle in the carriage, and said slowly: "Although it is said that wealth is in danger, but in today's world, we don't understand, so it's better to avoid it first." Saving life is the last word, and without life, there is nothing. ”
She tugged Li You's sleeve down and continued: "No matter how bad it is, our little highness is also a prince. ”
It's just that if it's a prince, you have to think of a fief and plan to build up your power, otherwise the emperor will think about it one day, I'm afraid it will be unsafe.
Female Officer Luo looked left and right, and said in a suppressed voice: "Niangniang, princess, is it reliable?" ”
Although Yang Mu is the eldest daughter of the Yang family, but now married to the prince of Dingwangfu, if the Lin family has any position, Yang Mu will really support and protect Concubine Shu and His Royal Highness?
Yang Yi slowly glanced at Lady Luo and said, "She is my niece, I don't believe her, can it be difficult to believe others?" ”
Female official Luo is silent, the world is treacherous, who can say for sure?
