Similarly, there are also some civil and military personnel of the Shence Mansion who are serving as officials abroad and cannot return in time, such as Dai Wei, Du Yan, Xue Yuanjing and others.
Among them, two people were also quite disappointed.
They are Duan Zhixuan and Xie Shufang. Not long ago, they were recalled to Chang'an by the prince and allowed to celebrate the New Year in Chang'an.
Before the Wannian Palace Mutiny, they were tricked by the officials of the East Palace and fled to Hebei Province, so they were unable to help His Highness the Crown Prince. This resulted in later rewards based on merit, and they only received gold, silver, wealth, and little honor.
Think about the historical differences between the generals in the Tiance Mansion who participated in the Xuanwumen Revolution and the generals who did not participate in the Xuanwumen Revolution. The treatment of the two in the Zhenguan Dynasty was very different!
The changes in the Ten Thousand Years Palace are equivalent to another change in the Xuanwu Sect.
It can be said that with this qualification, the civil and military personnel of Shence Mansion who participated in the Ten Thousand Years Palace Change will naturally have a different status from others in the future.
What makes Duan Zhixuan and his wife even more distressed is that they were originally the prince's right-hand men, and they were also the first generals to follow the prince. Since the army in Jinyang, they have never left with his 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, Yuchi Gong and others participated in the Ten Thousand Years Palace Change, their status in the East Palace has slightly surpassed them.
Even, in the heart of the prince, their status is probably not lower than his own.
What is most difficult for them to accept is that they feel like they are missing something because they did not participate in the Ten Thousand Years Palace Change.
A piece of qualification is missing, the most important piece of qualification!
The Ten Thousand Years Palace Change can be said to be the most important moment for His Royal Highness, but their failure to participate has to be said to be a pity and an unacceptable fact.
When I heard other generals talking about the changes in the Ten Thousand Years Palace, I became even more frustrated.
Li Zhiyun saw the frustration of these two people.
After Cheng Yaojin finished dancing, Li Zhiyun waved his hand and the dancers slowly left.
He faced everyone and said: "Although important matters have been decided now, 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 the swords are stored in the warehouse and the horses are released on Nanshan. I hope you will not get involved.
Smoke and dust, think too much about good governance.
Resting with the people is important.
Training troops and storing food is even more important.
Everyone, my father has given the government to Gu, which is a sign of great trust in Gu. And you are all Gu's humerus. I hope that you and Gu will work together to bring peace to the world and create a prosperous age."
Everyone stood up quickly, clasped their fists and said in unison: "Follow the prince's order."
"good."
During the night of the banquet, everyone dispersed.
Duan Zhixuan and Xie Shufang walked side by side on the street. They were silent for a long time, and neither of them spoke for a while.
The cold wind hit them, and they tightened their cloaks.
"well."
The two of them sighed at the same time, one after the other.
"Why did uncle sigh?" Duan Zhixuan asked.
Xie Shufang smiled bitterly and said: "Recalling the past, I sigh at the present."
Duan Zhixuan was silent, "Me too."
Before the Ten Thousand Years Palace Incident, they may not have been the most capable warriors in the Shence Mansion, but they were definitely the military commanders that His Royal Highness relied on most. In this regard, even Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong could not compare.
However, after the Ten Thousand Years Palace Change, this situation may no longer exist.
Because Qin Qiong and the others have expressed their most loyal loyalty to the prince.
Just as the two were lamenting each other, a horse came chasing after them.
"Two generals, wait a moment."
Duan Zhixuan and the others stopped and looked at the person coming.
It is Li Zhen.
"It turns out to be Brother Li." Xie Shufang and Duan Zhixuan handed over their hands.
Li Zhen clasped her fists, immediately turned over and dismounted, and handed the two swords to them.
"Brother Li, what is this?" Duan Zhixuan was puzzled.
Li Zhendao: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to tell the two generals that the generals will not remove their swords until the world is at peace. The two generals have made outstanding contributions, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows it well."
Hearing this, Duan Zhixuan silently clenched the sword in his hand.
"Thank you for the tip, Prince."
Li Zhen smiled and said: "In the past, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once said that fame, fortune and wealth will be gained immediately. Two generals, please do not lose heart."
Xie Shufang put away the sword, cupped his fists and said, "Brother Li, please report to His Highness the Crown Prince. I will definitely keep this in mind!"
"Easy to say."
Chu Palace.
After Li Zhen came back to report, she quietly left.
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 despair. Li Zhiyun felt a little guilty for them.
Because they were unable to participate in the Ten Thousand Years Palace Change, not because they were unwilling, but because they were forced to sacrifice and go away to Hebei.
"I will compensate them in the future."
Tonight, Li Zhiyun stayed in Pei Suer's courtyard.
Li Zhiyun was very nostalgic for this new beautiful lady and loved her many nights.
Wei Guiyuan.
Watching his son Chenglie fall asleep, Wei Gui also felt a little tired.
"Madam, Your Highness went to Pei's courtyard to spend the night." the maid whispered.
"I know." She said calmly.
The maid continued: "This has been four days in a row."
Wei Gui sat in front of the bronze mirror, taking off her makeup, looking at herself in the mirror, silent for a long time.
"Your Highness likes fresh food. It will be fine in a few days. You are not allowed to gossip in the house, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind."
"Yes." The maids agreed one after another.
Wei Gui put down the hairpin and was thoughtful. The younger sisters must not 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 reporter to join the army. This person was born in the Lu family of Fanyang and his name was Lu Chengsi.
He had a father named Lu Chisong, who was granted the title of Duke of Fanyang by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
As the New Year approached, Lu Chengsi went to a banquet hosted by his colleagues in Youzhou and hurried back to his home from the government.
When he opened the study door, he saw someone warming himself by the fire.
It's extremely cold in Youzhou in winter.
"Brother!"
That person was none other than Lu Chisong's eldest son, Lu Chengqing, who had returned from Chang'an.
Lu Chengqing is handsome and elegant. Before getting married, he was known as a flower in Youzhou.
"Erlang." He smiled slightly.
Lu Chengsi closed the door, walked forward and bowed, then knelt down in front of Lu Chengqing.
"Brother, how are things going with my father?"
Lu Chengqing shook his head, "The deposed prince conspired to rebel. As the prince, my father could not escape the crime. I traveled in many places in Chang'an, but to no avail. This prince's rebellion is very involved, and my father's old past is not included.
I’m willing to help.”
Before that, he lived with Lu Chisong in Chang'an. After the deposed prince and the King of Qi rebelled, Lu Chisong was involved and exiled to Yizhou, which made him anxious and uneasy.
But Chang'an was not Youzhou, and Lu's connections were not extensive enough in the new dynasty, so his rescue was of no use.
In fact, no one dared to mention Lu Chisong in front of Prince Li Zhiyun.
"How is father now?" Lu Chengsi asked.
Lu Chengqing smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know how remote Yizhou is, but there is no news. Sometimes there is good news."
That being said, Lu Chengsi was still worried about his old father's safety.
"How could this happen? How could Prince Jiancheng rebel against you?"
Lu Chengqing's eyes flickered and he said: "There is no point in pursuing these matters. 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 for forgiveness and ask him to pardon his father."
"Brother, what should we do?"
"Youzhou."
"Youzhou?" Lu Chengsi was puzzled.
"Well." Lu Chengqing explained: "Although Youzhou has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, Luo Yi supported his own troops and became a thorn in the court's side. Now that the south has been completely pacified, the court will definitely use troops against Youzhou next year to defeat Luo Yi and Gao in one fell swoop.
Clear the way.
And this is our opportunity. If we can help the imperial court capture the land of Youzhou without bloodshed, we may be forgiven by the prince."
