Chapter 1493 Second Visit to the Capital

This is the second time that General Moron has come to the capital. When he was crowned as a king, he came to the capital once.

Speaking of this title, there are many stories. General Moron is from Gaochang. He thought that this title could be passed down, but after learning about some things in the Tang Dynasty, he soon felt that this title might cost him his life.

Since Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, said that if someone other than the Liu family was crowned as a king, the whole world would attack him.

It is difficult for kings of different surnames to appear in all dynasties, especially in the Tang Dynasty. Except for those with the surname Li, if others want to be a prince, it is basically the same as rebellion, so Moron understood at that time that this title must not be allowed to continue.

Li Xiang and Li Shimin had the same idea about this matter. At that time, in order to stabilize Gaochang, they gave General Moron a title of king, but in the long run, if there was a king of the opposite sex, it would actually be very disadvantageous to the entire dynasty.

The pomp of a prince is too great, and with all kinds of regions under his management, it is easy to breed all kinds of ideas, especially the idea of ​​resisting the court. This is also the reason why there are no kings of different surnames in all dynasties.

But the face should be there. When General Moran submitted a memorial to resign the title of king, the court also rejected it three times. If you take back the title of king based on a memorial, then you are really too fake. If you want to recruit other people in the future in this way, it may not be of much use.

So the court sent a total of three waves of adults to the Western Regions to persuade General Moran to keep the title of king, but these people's hearts are the same as Mingjing. How could they persuade sincerely? This is obviously a process of the court to let the people of the world see how benevolent the court is.

So in the second year after resigning, General Moran lost his title of prince, and the palace became the general's palace again. However, except for the title, the various treatments were the same as those of the prince. Li Shimin issued a special decree to let General Moran experience these good treatments until General Moran left this world.

People have all kinds of vanity in their hearts, and General Moran is no exception. When he was named the prince, he felt floating, and even had some other ideas. Now looking at Chang'an City in front of him, he was glad that he resigned the prince. If he still had the title of prince, he would probably be the target of the struggle within the court.

General Moran is still very familiar with the history of the Han people. In the Han Dynasty, kings with the same surname were all reduced, not to mention kings of the opposite sex. If he were to hang the title of a king of a different surname now, he would be targeted every time he came to Chang'an City, and he would not dare to do anything. A rare little thing might be your death warrant, which is far better than being a general now.

Moreover, the imperial court did not treat him badly. Take this transfer for example. Although he was far away from his hometown, he could manage the entire Indochina Peninsula. Whether it was the military or the government, everything was under his control. This was actually much greater than the original power. Of course, he had to experience the pain of homesickness. This was also unavoidable. You couldn't take all the good things in the world on your shoulders.

"This old slave pays respects to the general."

Qian Ping had been waiting at the city gate for many days. When he saw General Moron coming, Qian Ping hurried out of the house next door. General Moron didn't dare to be arrogant. When he saw that this person was Qian Ping, he hurried down from the carriage.

"How are you, General Manager Qian? It has been two years since we parted in the Western Regions."

General Moron was telling the truth. When Li Xiang first entered the Western Regions, Qian Ping was still serving Li Xiang. Now two years have passed, and the entire Western Regions have already belonged to the Tang Dynasty. Now in the Western Regions, is there anyone who dares to resist the Li Zi Wangqi?

"General, you are right. This city gate is not a place to talk. The senior officials of the Ministry of War are all in the general's mansion. Otherwise, the general will go into the city with me. His Highness specially wrote a letter to explain that he has bought a new mansion for the general."

Li Xiang also knew that General Molun might feel uncomfortable. After all, he had left his hometown, so he had to take care of other aspects. A letter had been sent back to Chang'an City a long time ago. There were special people to do many things here. General Molun originally had a large house with four entrances in Chang'an City, but now it has been changed to five entrances.

As soon as Qian Ping finished speaking, the sound of war horses came from a distance. Su Dingfang had heard the news a long time ago, but unfortunately there were too many things in the general's mansion today, so it was delayed.

The affairs of the Tiance General's Mansion were handled by Niu Jinda and Su Dingfang, but Niu Jinda had health problems recently.

So most of the things fell on Su Dingfang. Normally, this guy should have gone out of the city ten miles to welcome him. When he was fighting in the Western Regions, he had a good relationship with General Molun. Now that General Molun has returned to the capital, it would be too much if he, as the host, did not show up.

"Brother Molun, do you still recognize me?"

Su Dingfang laughed loudly, causing everyone around the city gate to look over here. Isn't this General Su from the Tiance General's Mansion? He is now unique in the court, and has caught up with those old generals who started with Li Shimin.

When they saw Su Dingfang appear, Qian Ping and General Mo Lun both breathed a sigh of relief. Qian Ping himself was a eunuch chief steward, and he didn't have much in common with General Mo Lun, but Li Xiang's order was there, so he could only come to greet him.

When he was with Qian Ping, General Mo Lun also felt very restrained. After all, Qian Ping was a person close to Li Xiang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If he said something wrong, it would probably affect his life, so General Mo Lun still liked to be with people like Su Dingfang.

Everyone had fought their way out of the army, and they had taken care of each other on the battlefield before. Although they couldn't be said to be brothers who could block swords, they had more in common.

"Well, even if you turned into ashes, I would still recognize you and you still owe me two pots of wine."

General Mo Lun didn't have so much pretense. Although Su Dingfang was now the chief officer of the Tiance General's Mansion, General Mo Lun still spoke the same way as in the Western Regions, which was just what Su Dingfang liked. This guy personally dismounted to lead the horse for General Mo Lun.

"Brother, what about this?"

General Moron looked at this scene with some surprise. (End of this chapter)
