Chapter 28 The Eight Generals of the East Palace

The carriage slowly drove towards Chang'an City. Chen Qi was extremely happy to get the carriage. However, Chen Qi also told Chen Ying some secrets.

The taxes of the Tang Dynasty were getting more and more difficult. Li Yuan was very troubled by this. Chen Shuda replaced Xiao Yu and served as the Minister of Civil Affairs with Nayan. Xiao Yu was also the Minister of the Secretariat and the Minister of Rites. Pei Xiang and Your Majesty both had a headache about taxes. The prince Xima Weizheng said: "The difficult ones cannot, and the capable ones are not difficult."

Chen Ying interrupted Chen Qi and said, "His Prince Crown Prince has returned to Beijing?"

Chen Qi nodded and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Pingyang returned to Beijing last night, and the ceremony was held today."

As he said that, Chen Ying lifted the curtain of the car, observed the sun in the sky, and judged the time. "Calculate the time, the ceremony of the suburbs was over when we arrived in Chang'an!"

Chen Ying nodded. It was reasonable and reasonable that the prince returned to Beijing. As the gate of the Eastern Palace, Chen Yingli would go to visit Li Jiancheng as soon as possible. However, at this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Chen Qi was unprepared and rushed towards the car with his head.

Although there were no obvious ornaments in the carriage, Chen Ying was quick-eyed and grabbed Chen Qi's arm. Chen Qi angrily shouted from the bottom of his heart: "Why are you driving? Are you blind?"

The driver is Lao Zhou from Chen's Mansion. Chen Ying felt strange at first. Lao Zhou has always been steady. What's going on today? Chen Ying said: "What's going on?"

The angry Chen Qi suddenly lifted the curtain and saw a three-horse carriage with red purple color slowly advancing under the arch of dozens of powerful warriors. The three-horse carriage occupied the center of the street of the official road, including the carriages of Samurai and others, all stopped by the roadside to give way.

Chen Ying looked at the purple carriage and saw that the three-horse carriage had no obvious signs or accessories, but it looked simple, elegant and atmospheric.

Chen Qi, whose face was flushed, looked like a deflated ball, his head shrank and he sat back into the carriage.

Chen Ying was secretly surprised. It seemed that this carriage was quite good. The one who could make Chen Qi retreat was definitely someone who could not afford to offend Chen Qi.

Just as Chen Ying was about to put down the curtain, the curtain of the purple carriage opposite was slightly raised, revealing an old face full of gullies. The old man's face was rosy, but his eyes were very sharp.

The old man was no one else, but was the close follower of Hou Mo Chen Qianhui, the great manager of Hou Mo Chen’s mansion. Although Chen Ying did not know Yu Qing, Yu Qing had already known Chen Ying. Seeing Chen Ying seemingly returning to Chang'an in a carriage, he immediately said to Hou Mo Chen Qianhui: "Alang, Wulang seems to be going back to Chang'an!"

"Just go back!" Hou Mo Chen Qian said, "The prince will definitely go to the East Palace to pay homage to you. Let's go outside the city to see where Goro chose!"

Chen Ying's carriage passed by the carriage that Hou Mo Chen Qian met. Chen Ying looked at the frightened Chen Qi in confusion and said, "Eunuch Chen, whose carriage belongs to? It's quite powerful!"

Chen Qi had long known that Chen Ying was actually the fifth son of the eldest son of Hou Mo Chen's family. Looking at Chen Ying's attitude, he seemed to be unaware of it. Chen Qi sighed and said, "This is the carriage of Hou Mo Chen's family, one of the eight pillar countries of the Western Wei Dynasty!"

Chen Ying, Hou Mo and Chen, naturally had some impressions, but of course they were just some impressions.

Seeing Chen Qi silently speaking, Chen Ying also lost interest in chatting and closed his eyes to rest.

...

In the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, Li Jiancheng, Wei Ting, Wang Gui, Feng Li, Li Yuan, Wei Zheng and the newly-successed Pei Ju, Yuchi Gong, Xunxiang, Li Shiji, (Xu Shiji) and Yuan Baozang gathered together to raise their glasses and drink.

Li Jiancheng actually didn't know that later generations called Wei Ting, Wang Gui, Feng Li, Li Yuan, Wei Zheng, Pei Ju, Xue Wanche and Luo Yi of the East Palace the Eight Generals. At this time, in addition to Luo Yi, the eight generals of the East Palace had entered the seventh. Of course, because of the arrival of Chen Ying, a butterfly in another world, the strength of the East Palace also changed. At this time, Li Jiancheng's wings were considered to be. His literary wings include Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, Li Yuan, Wei Ting, Pei Ju, and Wu, Xue Wanche, Feng Li, Yuchi Gong, Xu Shiji, Yuan Baozang and Chen Ying. In fact, both civil and military can completely suppress Li Shimin.

Li Jiancheng returned with the great contribution of pacifying the Hedong Rebellion, and the momentum of the Eastern Palace was greatly boosted.

Wei Ting picked up the wine glass and said angrily: "Our Eastern Palace is strong and powerful. It's so great that Wang Shichong is just Wang Shichong. Whether General Xue or General Li takes action, it's not easy to capture it. If King Qin defeats Wang Shichong, wouldn't it be even more helpful to the Qin Palace's arrogance..."

Li Jiancheng said calmly: "I know Erlang, he will not have that kind of thought..."

Wei Ting: Your Highness, the King of Qin may not have such thoughts at this moment, but the people around the King of Qin, those who are counting on the King of Qin to bring wealth and honor to them and their family may not have such thoughts...!

Li Jiancheng: Are you talking about Duke of Lu?

Wei Ting: Liu Wenjing is not alone, he is a founding father, a civil and military man in the court, and many people act according to his eyes!

Li Jiancheng: Actually, I am more worried about Li Mi... What this person does today is as dangerous as mountains and rivers and as strict as cunning. In the future, he will definitely be a confidant of the court!

Wei Ting saw Li Jiancheng's attitude and was immediately anxious: "Your Highness, the King of Qin may not have such thoughts at this moment, but the people around the King of Qin, those who are counting on the King of Qin to bring wealth and honor to them and their family may not have such thoughts!"

Li Jiancheng said: "Ko Duke Lu is dead."

Wei Ting said: "Liu Wenjing is not alone. He is a founding father and a civil and military man in the court. Many people acted at him with their eyes! Although Liu Wenjing was dead, his disciples and former officials were there, and they are now all surrendered to the King of Qin."

At this moment, Wei Zheng said, "Actually, I am more worried about the King of Qin... The King of Qin is as dangerous as mountains and rivers, and the strictness of the capital. In the future, he will be a concern for His Highness! Wang Shichong has Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Shan Xiongxin and other old generals, who have old friends with the King of Qin. If Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Shan Xiongxin and other old generals lead the King of Qin, the King of Qin will be like a tiger with wings."

The more Li Jiancheng heard, his face became more gloomy. Pei Ju rushed to smooth things over and said, "Your Highness, please pay attention to the Changsun Wuji next to the King of Qin. This person is...

Li Jiancheng interrupted him: "He is Erlang's wife and brother-in-law, and he is also a family with me."

Wei Ting was stunned. The royal family would kill each other, let alone the younger brothers who could not beat me by eight poles? What kind of family is this?

Wang Gui said drunkenly: "Why didn't you see General Chen?"

"Chen Ying?" Li Jiancheng was suddenly shocked: "How is General Chen's injury?"

Wei Ting glanced at Yuchi Gong and smiled maliciously: "General Yuchi Gong is indeed extremely heroic and General Chen's injuries have not been healed so far."

The news that Chen Ying was the descendant of Hou Mo Chen was not a secret in the Eastern Palace. Wei Ting naturally knew that he didn't like Chen Ying at the beginning, but because Chen Ying was of a low origin, but when he learned that Chen was actually Hou Mo Chen, Wei Ting's feelings for Chen Ying completely changed. Wei Ting's people are actually good people, but their hearts are very stubborn.

Fortunately, among all the people in the Eastern Palace, they have a good background. Even the worst Yuchi Gong is considered a family member, which is comparable to Jingzhao Wei.

Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said, "Commander Pei, please prepare. I will visit General Chen's mansion later."

In fact, the commander Pei Ju was not the kind of army commander in later generations. At this time, the commander was the abbreviation of the Crown Prince's Family Order, the chief of the Eastern Palace, and controlled criminal laws, food, warehouses, slaves, etc. Yang Guang changed the family order to be called the Chief of the Office. Tang Restored the original name, but the title of Commander was retained.

Pei Ju bowed and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid it's inappropriate tonight!"

“Why?”

"Listen to the news from the palace, Your Majesty will hold a banquet in the palace tonight, and Your Highness and General Chen will both attend the banquet!"

Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said, "Then I will send a batch of medicinal materials and supplements to the Chen Mansion."
