Chapter 64: An Unexpected Revelation

After Luo Zhaoyun received the prince's message conveyed by Yang Guang's personal guard, he fell into doubts, and did not have the leisure to visit Chang'an City again, but stayed in the room, repeatedly guessing, I don't know why the prince Yang Guang summoned him to the banquet, is it related to General Zhou's recommendation?

Half an hour passed, Zhou Luohu had returned from the court, seen the current holy mountain, and once again received the rewards of food, colored satin, money, etc., before returning to his mansion, he deliberately made a detour to see him and confessed a few words.

"Luo Cheng, you must have received an order from the prince to go to the banquet tonight, right?"

Luo Zhaoyun nodded and said, "Well, don't hide it from General Zhou, that's what happened!" Xia Guan didn't understand at this time, with my identity and title, I shouldn't be qualified enough to participate in the dinner at the Prince's Mansion! ”

Zhou Luohu smiled lightly: "Hehe, you have self-knowledge, the triumphant general's reception banquet was originally invited by His Majesty in the palace in person, but it is scheduled for three days later, those who can attend, the lowest is the deputy general or above, after all, there are many civil and military ministers to celebrate together, although it is said to celebrate the triumphant generals, in fact, those of us who come back from the war are never as powerful as those who wait in the court, so we can't become the protagonists of the banquet!" However, tonight's banquet in the East Palace is that the prince only knows some familiar generals that he can trust, and he picks up the wind and washes the dust! ”

Luo Zhaoyun's heart moved, and he understood the deep meaning of Zhou Luohu's words, in fact, the generals who appeared in the East Palace tonight, some of them went on the expedition, and some did not go out, but they were all the prince's henchmen, or supporters of the military, and they were all factions and interest groups that stood on Yang Guang's side.

It stands to reason that on this occasion, he should not be allowed to participate as an outsider.

"Then I don't know why, there will be a share of the lower officials?" Luo Zhaoyun was still a little puzzled, and humbly asked for advice.

"Actually, here's the thing, on the way into the palace, when the Duke of Yue and the prince were talking and laughing, he said that he wrote a few poems in Biansai, you may not know, Yang Su, the prince and others, are all full of poetry, there is a lot of pen and ink in the chest, and it is usually good to get together to talk about literature and poetry. However, this time I heard Yue Guogong say that he thought he was the most proud of the song, but it was far less meaningful than yours, so I said it in passing, but the prince, Guogong and others were shocked, just like me at the time, I thought it was comparable to a masterpiece, so I wanted to see you on the spot. ”

Luo Zhaoyun's face was a little stiff, and he secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, it turned out that it was because he had stolen a poem from Wang Changling that he was noticed by the crown prince Yang Guang by chance.

Is it a blessing or a curse?

Through historical books, Luo Zhaoyun roughly understood that Yang Guang was also a very talented person, and he did a lot of poetry and writing, which had a great influence on the literature of the Sui Dynasty. In this short and prosperous Sui Dynasty, if you want to say that in terms of literature and poetry, the one who can be a little noisy may be Xue Daoheng.

Yang Guang is very confident in his talents, and even after ascending the throne, he once said to the minister of civil and military affairs that he can become an emperor, not only because of his father's kindness and family inheritance, but also because of his literary talents.

Luo Zhaoyun didn't know what Yang Guang's specific attitude was towards him, and he was a little worried in his heart, after all, Yang Guang was studied by later generations of scholars, and he was a person with a serious dual personality, and even a little schizophrenia in the last years of the great cause, so get along with him.

But be more cautious.

Fortunately, he has not yet ascended the throne, especially in the past few years since he became the crown prince, Taoguang has been obscure, and Corporal Lixian has nothing to do, and jealousy, arrogance, and suspicion are not so strong, otherwise, Xue Daoheng, Liu Guyan, Yu Shinan and other literary masters will not be safe and sound after following him for many years.

"You prepare, the first impression of the prince is very important, you can't be too casual, you can't be high-profile, and don't be too humble, you should show your limelight, otherwise, if you hide it, how can you have a good errand! The old man went back to the house to change his clothes first, and passed by here at dusk, you follow me into the East Palace! Zhou Luohu admonished, patted him on the shoulder, and left the garrison.

Luo Zhaoyun nodded and was taught, and thought in his heart that this time in front of Yang Guang, he had to be cautious, act at the opportunity, not publicity, and don't deliberately retreat, otherwise he would be regarded as incompetent, and it is estimated that as soon as he ascends the throne, he will be depressed for more than ten years in the future.

But fifteen years later, when the heroes are divided, it is impossible to predict where and what position they will hold! But after all, now that I am a non-commissioned officer of the Great Sui, my grandfather and father both served the Great Sui, and I must first gain some status and fame and truly integrate into history before I am qualified to decide my own fate.

Otherwise, there will be no power and fame, and in the future, the gate lord family, Guan Longxun, local tycoons, and the heroes of the world, who will bird you as a nobody?

Moreover, Luo Zhaoyun has many things that must be promoted by financial resources and connections, and he needs to continue to work hard. Only when you stand in a high position and have more knowledge of the state and political situation, can you judge whether these historical figures, and the characters and deeds recorded in the history books, are true and how credible they are?

He opened the package and found a satin silk shirt, with a tall figure, although the cheeks were not fully mature, but also a bit of handsome appearance, luxurious clothes and decorations, even more plump, radiant.

When dusk came, when the station was in charge of the lamp, Zhou Luohu had already passed by by car, took Luo Zhaoyun, and walked a few hundred meters again, passing through the garrison area of the East Palace, and passing through a lush garden, before coming to the main building complex of the East Palace, which is the residence of the prince and his concubines.

Named after its location on the east side of the palace, the East Palace has always been the residence of the crown prince, and it is simply a small, simplified version of the royal palace.

If you come from the south, you have to pass through Chongguang Gate and Changlin Gate, and if you come from the east, you have to pass through Yanyi Gate, which is opposite the street sandwiched between the East Palace Gate and Changle Fang and Daning Fang.

Outside the palace gate of the East Palace, two stone lions are entrenched around the gate, there are dozens of spearmen standing at the door, accompanied by waist knives, one by one the body is straight, burly and mighty, ordinary people have to be frightened at a glance, ten steps outside the palace wall, around the palace wall, and even in the corner of several large walls of the mansion there are watchtowers, standing sentry above and looking down on the mansion, the defense is tight.

When Zhou Luohu was still ten meters away from the main entrance, he got off the car in advance, and he didn't dare to ride or ride a swagger past the prince's gate, which was disrespectful.

After General Zhou and Luo Zhaoyun got out of the car, they went directly to a row of bolted horses and stones in the open space to wait.

"Let's go, let's go inside!" Zhou Luohu held the invitation card in his hand and walked towards the palace gate mansion with his head held high.

Luo Zhaoyun took a deep breath, his face was resolute, and he also followed, if he came, he would be safe, no matter whether Yang Guang was a brutal person or not, he had to deal with it.
