Chapter 49
Peer-to-people discussion
Chen Kefu also looked at Chen Guang for a long time. From what he had heard before and what he saw now, he felt that Chen Guang was a very refreshing man. He didn't want to believe that such a person would report him for wealth. The key is that he really couldn't kill the other party as Lu Shishen said, just because he was afraid that he would report the news.
The Chen Guang family has been ministers of Nan Chen for generations. Although he did not value much the identity of his royal family, if Chen Guang is killed now, how will he treat his other subordinates in the future? This is a bad beginning.
"Why don't you loosen the tie for General Chen Guang. General Chen Guang's ancestors were also from my hometown in the south of Chen. It's just a pity that my ancestor emperor was too absurd, so he handed over the great country to the Yang family. It's my Chen family's fault. It's because of our Chen family that many people who live and work in Jiangnan suffered the war. It's because of us that General Chen's family moved from the south to the northwest. General Chen Guang should have suffered a lot of hardship when he moved to Chang'an, right?"
Chen Kefu really didn't have much good impression of the Southern Chen royal family. He occupied half of the world, but he didn't know how to cherish the foundation of his ancestors, and finally gave it to others so easily.
Especially for his nominal grandfather Chen Houzhu, he had no good impression of him. Chen Houzhu is a rare foolish king in history. He and the current emperor Yang Guang were the emperors who received the posthumous title of "Yang" in history at the same time. However, in Chen Kefu's opinion, Yang Guang was still a promising emperor with mixed reputations throughout his life. But his cheap grandfather was really an unfair foolish king. In the words of history books, he was born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of a woman. Apart from being the eldest son of the emperor, he had nothing to do. He was just an emperor who only knew how to be greedy for pleasure, and a negative example of all emperors.
When Chen Kefu asked about the past, Chen Guang, a tough man, couldn't help but sigh. He was only in his teens when the Southern Chen destroyed the country, but this experience left him an indelible memory. After the Sui Dynasty destroyed the Chen Dynasty, in order to make the rule, all the Southern Chen royal family and noble ministers moved their families to Chang'an. Hundreds of thousands of people traveled through half of China from Jiankang and moved from the south to Chang'an in the northwest. I don't know how many people died along the way, and how many ministers and nobles broke their families. Hundreds of thousands finally arrived in Chang'an, less than half of them when they set out.
"Yes, at the time the Emperor of Sui Dynasty issued an order, the noble ministers and royal family of Southern Chen moved to Chang'an. There were hundreds of thousands of people, and there were not enough cars and horses. Everyone moved on foot. The journey was too far and they could not take much. My Shen family was also a noble family in Jiankang, but the whole family left Jiankang and left the family and abandoned their belongings. After almost a year, when they finally arrived in Chang'an, there were only less than 30 people left. Once they arrived in Chang'an, they had to barely buy the house in Chang'an, and there was no remaining money. In the end, the family had to disperse all the remaining slaves. Even my grandfather was so old that he had to serve as aides to the Sui nobles in Chang'an."
Speaking of those past events, Chen Guang was also sighing, "My Shen family's fortune has been deteriorated since then. My father asked his friend to enter the Eastern Palace of Prince Yang Yong and became a small servant. He originally thought that he would have a stable life from now on. But who would have thought that Prince Yang Yong was finally taken away from the position of Prince Yang Yong by the current emperor. He was in danger from then on and died soon after. Later, my father went to the mansion of King Yang Liang of Han to become a subordinate, but who would have thought that the King of Han rebelled again and failed soon. Although his father saved his life, he was demoted to a commoner and was not allowed to become an official from then on. Even my grandfather left for the sake of his concern. My Shen family fell sharply and could not save his last little decent. In the end, my father had to give someone a letter to make a living for our family, and I became a famous scoundrel in Chang'an from then on."
The country was destroyed and the family was destroyed. Chen Kefu, Lu Shishen and others were also sighing as Chen Guang talked about the Shen family after the fall of the Southern Dynasties. Lu Shishen sighed, "A man is a real man, and the family business left by his ancestors will go. Chen Guang, now you have become a fifth-rank emperor and guard general. It won't take long to revive the Shen family."
Chen Kefu walked to Chen Guang and bowed deeply, "General Chen Guang's family has fallen into the fall. All the hardships he has suffered over the years are the fault of my Chen family. But please accept my worship. I apologize for the wrong things done by my ancestors and for the hardships you have experienced."
Chen Guang was also surprised. Unexpectedly, Chen Kefu actually bowed to him and hurriedly reached out to help him, "How could you blame those things? Alas, all those things have passed, so I won't mention them."
"Don't General Chen Guang hate Chen?" Chen Kefu said.
Chen Guang sighed, "I hated him at first, and hated the emperor as the emperor but only wanted to enjoy himself. In the end, the country was destroyed and the people were troubled. However, more than twenty years have passed, so how could there be so much hatred? When I was in Jiankang, I had a relationship with the Crown Prince and was often ordered to accompany the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince was humble, generous, and treated people well. If he had been the emperor in Nanchen, it would be a great thing. It would be a pity. I only knew that the Crown Prince was pregnant, but unfortunately I heard that when the city was broken, it happened to give birth. Because of the difficult delivery, the mother and son were not saved. I didn't expect that I would have saved you."
When Chen Guang heard that he talked about his father, it was the first time Chen Kefu heard someone talk about his father. He couldn't help but ask, "My Lord Shen, is my Chen family good in Chang'an? Is my father still safe?"
"How good can the royal family be? Several princesses in Southern Chen were betrothed to noble ministers of the Sui Dynasty. At that time, the aunt of the Lord was also included as concubines by Emperor Wen of Sui, who was Mrs. Xuanhua. Later, when His Majesty ascended the throne, he also included Mrs. Xuanhua. He died of depression a few years ago. After the Later Lord arrived in Chang'an, he drank daily to entertain himself, but it has been more than ten years since his father, after the Crown Prince arrived in Chang'an, he heard that Emperor Wen of Sui was very cautious about him. It was not until His Majesty ascended the throne that he left Chang'an with the help of Mrs. Xuanhua and went to the northwest to become the prefect of Kuanghan. But several years have passed, and he has never returned to Chang'an, and he does not know that he is still safe now. If the Crown Prince knew that you are so promising now, he would be very happy. Since he arrived in Chang'an, he has refused to marry again and is still single."
Chen Kefu did not expect that Chen Guang was actually a partner of his father back then. "There is no need to call him his father and crown prince anymore. Now everyone is a citizen of the Sui Dynasty, so forget him about the past."
Chen Guang nodded and said, "Yes, the past is over. Sir, please rest assured. Although I accidentally learned about my life experience, I will not tell others about this. The crown prince was very good to me back then, and it was my old master. What's more, the adult's life experience is nothing. As long as it is not known by someone with a heart, it cannot be regarded as anything. The adult's father is now an official outside, and even if His Majesty knows it, it is not a big deal. What's more, now that His Majesty has made great contributions to His Majesty, the Emperor will not pursue any investigation."
Chen Kefu thought about it, so many years have passed, and even his father, the former crown prince of the Southern Dynasty, can be the chief official of the land outside, and his son of the Crown Prince of the Southern Chen should be even more trouble. After all, Nan Chen has long become a thing of the past. Most of the women of the Southern Chen royal family have been included in the emperor's palace, and the rest have become wives and concubines of the ministers and nobles. The men of the royal family have also integrated into the Sui Dynasty in front of some small officials.
However, after thinking about it, Chen Kefu still said, "Mr. Shen, I still hope you can help me keep a secret about my life experience. Lord. Shen also knows that the Pei family in the court has many questions about me because I have joined the Yuwen family. If they let them know my life experience, they will definitely make a fuss about this. At that time, I am afraid that nothing will happen, and I will cause something. Anyway, I have not known my life experience for more than 20 years, so just do it."
"Don't call me Lord Shen. Back then, I was always with him. If I had been entrusted with the prince, I could be the elder of the general. Now that I am so destined to be a subordinate of the general, I will be a family in the future." Shen Guang said with a smile, and said, and looked at Lu Shishen.
Lu Shishen snorted and turned his head. Although he was as old as Shen Guang, he had never had a relationship with Chen Kefu's father before, and had always been a member of Chen Kefu's generation. If Shen Guang became Chen Kefu's elder, wouldn't Shen Guang be older than him? Then in the future, wouldn't he be younger than this guy in the Pojun camp?
Chen Kefu glanced at the two of them, "Mr. Shen Guang said that, but he is only over ten years older than me, and it is a bit embarrassing to call me your uncle. I don't think so. We talk about our own things. You are dating your father and I am friends with General Shen, so I call you brothers, just like Mao Yi, Lao Lu and others. Everyone also throws away those past. I know that when you were young, it was a bit of a small holiday, but that was the past from more than 20 years ago. Don't remember it in your heart. Now we are destined to be reunited at the Pojun Camp. We will be as close as brothers in the future. I hope you can become my right-hand man and take good care of the Pojun Camp in the future."
He lifted the tent and called Risa Ono in, asking her to pour the wine she brought from the kitchen to everyone, "Everyone, everyone privately said that they are old friends, and even my brothers. As for the sake of the master, everyone is also the generals of the Pojun camp, and I am my colleagues. After everyone did this bowl of wine, the past things made him melt with the wine. Come on, after drinking this cup, everyone is all brothers."
Chen Kefu's bowl had been picked up. After Lu Shishen and Shen Guang looked at each other, they also picked up the bowl on the table and drank it all.
"Hahaha, okay, let's forget about the past. I heard that you have a nickname called "Food Fairy". I just don't know how riding is. Are you interested in going out with me to ride a horse and go on a horse?" Lu Shishen said to Shen Guang with his lips curled.
Shen Guang was also a refreshing man. He put down the wine bowl and looked at Lu Shishen's somewhat dissatisfied look, and smiled, "I know you must be calculating about the fact that I photographed you black bricks back then. I think this is how we go out to race horses in a month. I lose. I will drink and apologize for the wrong. If you lose, you will treat the past as a matter of writing off. How about it?"
