Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 454
Similarly, there are also some civil and military officials in Shence Mansion who are not able to return in time, such as Dai Zhou, Du Yan, Xue Yuanjing and others.

Among them, two people are also relatively frustrated.

They are Duan Zhixuan and Xie Shufang.Not long ago, they were recalled to Chang'an by the prince and allowed them to spend the New Year in Chang'an.

Before the Mutiny in the Wannian Palace, they were planned by the officials of the East Palace to flee to Hebei, so they failed to help His Highness the Crown Prince.This led to rewards based on merit later on. They only got gold and silver, but little honor.

Think about the historical difference between the military generals in Tiance Mansion who participated in the Xuanwu Gate Change and the generals who did not participate in the Xuanwu Gate Change in the Zhenguan Dynasty.
And the change of Wannian Palace is equivalent to another change of Xuanwumen.

It can be said that the civil and military personnel of the Shence Mansion, who participated in the Wannian Palace Change, have this qualification, and their status will naturally be different from other people in the future.

What made Duan Zhixuan even more distressed was that they were originally the Prince's right-hand men, and they were also the first military generals to follow the Prince.Since the rise of troops in Jinyang, he has never left with His Royal Highness in the north and south.

In terms of seniority, they are far older than Qin Qiong and others who later surrendered.

But now, because Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong and others participated in the Wannian Palace Change, their status in the East Palace has faintly surpassed them.

Even, in the prince's heart, their status might not be inferior to his own.

The most difficult thing for them to accept is that they didn't participate in the change of the Wannian Palace, which made them feel like they were missing something.

One qualification is missing, the most important qualification!
The change of the Wannian Palace can be said to be the most important moment for His Highness the Crown Prince, but their failure to participate is a pity and an unacceptable fact.

He was even more frustrated when he heard other generals talk about the change of the Wannian Palace.

Li Zhiyun saw the frustration of these two people.

After Cheng Yaojin finished dancing, Li Zhiyun waved his hand, and the dancers retreated slowly.

He faced the crowd and said: "Although the major event has been decided today, we must not slack off. The south has been leveled, but the north is full of hidden dangers. It is far from the time when swords and swords are put into storage and horses are released on Nanshan Mountain. I hope you will not get involved. Smoke and dust, think more about good governance.

Rest with the people, to.

It is even more important to train troops and store food.

Ladies and gentlemen, the royal father handed over the government to Gu, which is a great trust in Gu Mo.And you are all lonely humerus, I hope you and the lonely will work together to level the world and create a prosperous world together. "

Everyone got up quickly, clasped their fists and said in unison: "Follow the Prince's order."

"it is good."

During the night of the banquet, all the people dispersed.

Duan Zhixuan and Xie Shufang walked along the street, they were silent for a long time, neither of them spoke for a while.

As the cold wind hit, they tightened their cloaks.

"Ugh."

The two sighed at the same time.

"Why is uncle Fang sighing?" Duan Zhixuan asked.

Xie Shufang smiled wryly and said, "Recalling the past, sighing at the present."

Duan Zhixuan said silently, "Me too."

Before the change of the Wannian Palace, they might not be the best fighters in the Shence Mansion, but they must be the most important generals His Royal Highness the Crown Prince relies on.In this point, even Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong couldn't compare.

However, after the change of the Wannian Palace, this situation may no longer exist.

Because Qin Qiong and the others have expressed their most loyal loyalty to the prince.

Just when the two were lamenting each other, they came after them on a horse.

"Two generals, wait a moment."

Duan Zhixuan and the two stopped and looked at the person coming.

It was Li Zhen.

"So it's Brother Li." Xie Shufang and Duan Zhixuan cupped their hands one after another.

Li Zhen cupped her fists, immediately got off her horse, and handed the two swords to them.

"Brother Li, what is this?" Duan Zhixuan was puzzled.

Li Zhen said: "His Royal Highness asked me to tell the two generals that the world is not in peace, and the general will not let go of his sword. The two generals have made outstanding contributions, and His Royal Highness knows it well."

Hearing this, Duan Zhixuan silently clenched the sword in his hand.

"Thank you, Prince, for your suggestion."

Li Zhen smiled and said: "In the past, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once said that fame and fortune will be obtained immediately, you two generals, don't be discouraged."

Xie Shufang accepted the sword, cupped his fists and said, "Brother Li, please report to His Royal Highness, the general will definitely keep it in mind!"

"Good to say."

Chu palace.

After Li Zhen came back to report, she quietly withdrew.

Li Zhiyun twisted his neck and exhaled slightly.

He hoped that Duan Zhixuan and Xie Shufang could understand his painstaking efforts and not sink into it.For the two of them, Li Zhiyun felt a little guilty.

Because, they failed to participate in the Wannian Palace Change, not because they were unwilling, but because they were forced to sacrifice and go away to Hebei.

"In the future, let's compensate them."

Tonight, Li Zhiyun stayed overnight in Pei Su'er's yard.

Li Zhiyun is very nostalgic for this new Nami girl, and loves her for many nights.

Wei Guiyuan.

Seeing his son Chenglie fall asleep, Wei Gui was also a little tired.

"My lady, the crown prince has gone to spend the night in Pei's courtyard." The maid said softly.

"Got it." She said flatly.

The maid continued: "This has been four days in a row."

Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Wei Gui took off his makeup, looked at himself in the mirror, and remained silent for a while.

"Your Highness likes freshness, it will be fine in a few days, you are not allowed to gossip in the mansion, otherwise don't blame me for not showing affection."

"Yes." The maids agreed one after another.

Wei Gui put down the pearl hairpin, thoughtful.The younger sisters probably don't have these jewelry. As the eldest sister, I have to take care of them.

Youzhou.

After Wen Yanbo left, Luo Yi promoted a person to serve as his secretary to join the army. This person was from the Lu family of Fanyang, and his name was Lu Chengsi.

He had a father named Lu Chisong, who was the Duke of Fanyang County granted by the Tang Emperor.

As the end of the year approached, Lu Chengsi pushed back to the banquet held by his colleagues in Youzhou, and hurried back to his home from the government.

When he pushed open the study door, he saw a person warming himself by the fire.

It is extremely cold in Youzhou in winter.

"Big brother!"

That person is Lu Chisong's eldest son, Lu Chengqing who returned from Chang'an.

Lu Chengqing is handsome and generous. Before he got married, he was known as a flower in Youzhou.

"Erlang." He smiled slightly.

Lu Chengsi closed the door, stepped forward to salute, and then knelt down in front of Lu Chengqing.

"Brother, what happened to your father?"

Lu Chengqing shook his head, "The abolished prince rebelled, and my father, as the prince, led the order, so I can't escape the crime. I have traveled around Chang'an in many places, but it was of no use. The prince's rebellion this time involves a lot of things. Father's old acquaintances are not important." Willing to help."

Before that, he lived with Lu Chisong in Chang'an.Later, the abolished prince conspired against the king of Qi, and Lu Chisong was involved in it, and he was exiled in Yizhou, which made him anxious.

But Chang'an is not Youzhou, and Lu's connections are not extensive enough in the new dynasty, so his rescue is useless.

Even, no one dared to mention Lu Chisong in front of Prince Li Zhiyun.

"Then how is father now?" Lu Chengsi asked.

Lu Chengqing smiled wryly and said, "Sizhou is remote, and I don't know about it, but if there is no news, sometimes it is good news."

That's what he said, but Lu Chengsi was still worried about the safety of his old father.

"How could this be the case? How could you rebel when you become a prince?"

Lu Chengqing's eyes flickered, and he said: "It's meaningless to pursue these things. The current new prince is the fifth son of the emperor, King Chu. What we have to do is to find a way to ask the new prince's forgiveness, and ask him to forgive my father."

"Brother, what shall we do then?"

"Youzhou."

"Youzhou?" Lu Chengsi was puzzled.

"Well." Lu Chengqing explained: "Although Youzhou has already surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, Luo Yi's support of soldiers has become a thorn in the court's eyes. Now that the south has been completely pacified, next year the court will definitely use troops against Youzhou to wipe out Luo Yi and Gao in one fell swoop. clear the way.

And this is our opportunity.If we can help the imperial court take the land of Youzhou without bloodshed, maybe the prince will forgive us. "

This was the only feasible way he could think of.
