A night without words.
The next morning, after breakfast, Yang Zhenshan changed into his qilin attire, ready to enter the palace to express his gratitude.
Riding in a carriage, Yang Zhenshan first came to the Fengtian Gate, stepped down from the carriage, and showed his Marquis seal; the personal army guarding the gate let him pass through.
As Marquis Jing'an and Right Commander under the Left Army Commander's Mansion, Yang Zhenshan could enter and exit the Fengtian Gate freely.
Because the Five Army Commandery's government office was situated behind the Wuying Hall in the Imperial City just like the Cabinet's office was behind the Wenhua Palace in the Wenyuan Pavilion.
Yang Zhenshan could enter and exit the Fengtian Gate and the Wuying Hall freely, but he could not do the same with the Taiji Palace.
Apart from attending the early court sessions and being summoned by the Emperor, civilian and military officials were not allowed to freely enter the Taiji Palace.
