Chapter 373: Spanning Seven Hundred Years
In addition, there is an interesting account in the book.
According to Chai Zhao's meaning, the relationship between him and Emperor Chen was more of a transaction than a monarch and a minister.
He worked in Chen Guo step by step, climbing to a high position step by step, just to avenge Wen Yingzi. However, the emperor is not a fool who will only be taken advantage of.
Before reusing Chai Zhao, he must find out what Chai Zhao is, including his origin, his past, and even his purpose. Naturally, the fact that he was a native of Yue Guo could not be concealed at all, and he had no intention of concealing it.
He had a way to expand the territory of Chen, and the emperor of Chen was also an ambitious man, so the first formal meeting between them was more like a straightforward negotiation.
In the end, he confessed his purpose to Emperor Chen, and the two reached a unique tacit understanding.
Emperor Chen used his wisdom to dominate the world, and he used Chen to achieve the goal of destroying the Yue Kingdom.
He was firmly anxious for the general's curse, forcing himself to make Yue a complete past within ten years. He is persecuting himself all the time, and the more urgent the time, the stronger the belief in his heart becomes.
Before the collapse of the Wen family's army, no one in the military camp full of memories knew that he had the ability to overturn a country, and even he himself did not know that he could do such a terrible thing. However, after 300,000 people died tragically and Wen Yingzi was beheaded, his temperament suddenly changed drastically. The belief in revenge crushes all cowardice. He did not hesitate to cause more killings with his own hands, and his only purpose was only to avenge Wen Yingzi.
The general, with whom he didn't even communicate much in the barracks, became the sole motivator for all his future actions.
Let Yue Guo die within ten years, let him personally kill all the people of the Yue royal family, bury all the treasures of the Yue Palace for Wen Yingzi, and then let the head of the Yue Emperor repent forever in front of Wen Yingzi's grave.
He used a country to cast a tomb for Wen Yingzi, and the price was to help Chen rule the world.
It would have been a crazy decision. Whether it is Chai Zhao or Emperor Chen, it seems that they are making a bet with madness.
They are all gamblers who spend their lives betting on a possibility.
Chai Zhao dedicated his wisdom and ability to ask a Yue State to accompany his general to the funeral, and the Emperor Chen had the courage to believe his madness, even if it was just empty words at first, but this ambitious emperor gambled with all the treasures of the Yue Kingdom on the possibility of dominating the world.
In fact, what is not recorded in the book is that the relationship between Chai Zhao and Emperor Chen was very delicate. Although they use each other, they also give birth to a strange friendship. Emperor Chen chose to believe in Chai Zhao's ability and accompanied him crazy, and after the real destruction, Chai Zhao took revenge for Wen Yingzi, and was also grateful for Emperor Chen's trust and dedicated all his abilities.
He didn't ask for anything in return, because the wealth of the entire Yue Kingdom was a rich enough reward, and every plan he made for Emperor Chen was to repay his kindness. But the emperor did not treat him badly, gave him enough trust, and gave him enough status.
After the Chen State ruled the world, the Emperor Chen named Chai Zhao as the king of Dingbang. The title of this foreign surname Wang Ye is by no means just a title. This is not an idle title, the so-called king of the state, the owner of terrible real power.
At that time, some relatives of the emperor were worried that the power of the king of Dingbang would be too strong and he would give birth to a rebellious heart, after all, this seemingly weak king of Dingbang, when facing the Yue Kingdom, his ruthless methods were terrifying.
But the emperor of Chen had a mind that matched his ambitions enough, and he thought that Chai Zhao could give a few words for a general who had led him for a few years, and as long as he could get his loyalty, he would never have a mind that he should not have.
In fact, Chen Guo did not get Chai Zhao's loyalty in the end, but he got his gratitude. If it weren't for Emperor Chen Guo to accompany her in a desperate gamble, it would be impossible for him to fight against a behemoth like Yue Guo on his own.
He is too small, and he will be crushed lightly in front of a country. Such a huge number of 300,000 people would also be destroyed in the hands of a small prince, and life would be worthless in front of those high kings.
He was born in the country of Yue and died in the country of Yue. On the day when the territory he was bent on defending betrayed him, Chai Zhao, who was shy and introverted in the army, had already died on that battlefield.
He wanted to avenge Wen Yingzi because the general had not abandoned them since the beginning, even if she returned to the capital alive, as long as she lowered her head, she would be able to survive, but she didn't. She vented her anger in the most tragic way, and exchanged the life of the culprit who killed 300,000 troops for the peace of 300,000 soldiers on the Huangquan Road.
His persistence is not because he has any special feelings for Wen Yingzi, on the contrary, when he was in the army, he just said a few words to Wen Yingzi. He didn't even know if Wen Yingzi remembered him, but after being betrayed by the country he loved so much, there was a person who could rather die than avenge them, which was like a kind of redemption, and it made him feel that it was not meaningless to die in the past. Although he knew that General Wen was not so determined for his sake.
But it didn't matter, because he was one of the 300,000 people. That's enough.
After that, he remembered Wen Yingzi's appearance all his life, remembered his silver spear and bright armor, and remembered her weak and tall back standing on the battlefield.
After the fall of the Yue Kingdom, he found the person he liked, married her, had children, and formed a happy family. He never had a concubine in his life, and he had a very good relationship with his wife, and had three sons and a daughter. He told his story to his children, telling them to remember General Wen and not to forget Jì, because he didn't know if that figure came to an end from him, and whether there would be anyone in this world who would remember that heroic woman again.
After General Wen was beheaded, he heard that her family was extremely resentful of her, thinking that she had made the family bear the disgust and oppression of the royal family, and that she had caused the family to suffer a predicament that they should not have suffered, and he was extremely angry.
If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't give birth to a son, why would a woman be burdened with such a bumpy fate, fighting desperately on the battlefield, and possibly dying from time to time, just to keep that ridiculous position for the so-called family.
If it weren't for the fact that her sister was taken by King Huai and threatened to never give her an identity, why would the general have such a big grudge with King Huai.
300,000 soldiers paid for this, and the general did not hesitate to die for this, but as her family, she only had endless complaints, but she didn't think about it, if it wasn't for the general, where would they have lived such a peaceful and stable life in those years?
On the day he led his troops to attack Yueguo, he did not deliberately look for other Wen family members. Whether they were dead or alive, whether they had fled or not, he didn't care at all. After that, he didn't inquire about their whereabouts, let alone know if they were living in a certain corner of the world. Because the Wen family, who does not have the Wen family's army, is not qualified to worry about him.
Chai Zhao, the king of Dingbang, lived to be one hundred and five years old and died. When he died, he had children and grandchildren, and he had no regrets, and he was very peaceful.
In the history books of Chen Guo, there is a detailed record of Chai Zhao, the king of Dingbang. This man is the greatest contributor to Chen Guo's domination of the world, and he is also the minister that Emperor Chen believes in the most. His wisdom and talent, and the trust between him and the emperor, have all made a strong mark in the history books.
And what sets off his pen is the destruction of the family of the Yue country, and the miserable death of all the people in the royal family of the Yue country.
But in later generations, about Chai Zhaoqi, the king of Dingbang, his legendary life is certainly worth remembering, but many people are more interested in the fact that he looted all the wealth of the Yue royal family for Wen Yingzi's funeral, but where was this wealth hidden by him? But it has become a treasure of interest to many people.
Ye Xici wondered if the location of the suspected treasure in the Shou General's Mansion would be the hiding place of the treasure of the Yue Kingdom that Chai Zhao had looted at the beginning.
"Do you have an impression of Chai Zhaoqi?" Ye Xici asked. He now believed that the Wen Yingzi in Fang Xiaoyu's dream was probably the same person as the General Wen mentioned in Chai Zhao's book.
"Chai Zhao......" Fang Xiaoyu tried hard to recall the name. It was memories of several lifetimes ago, some of which she remembered very well, and some of which she had forgotten somewhere.
But the name Chai Zhao, she still has an impression. The impression is not too deep, but I still vaguely remember his appearance.
"Big girl......" Fang Xiaoyu unconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth, this is the nickname that everyone gave him when Chai Zhao was in the army.
He has a somewhat introverted personality and is very wooden. I've read books, and my brain is good, but I don't seem to be very good at communicating with people.
His whole person feels slow, he speaks, and does things, but his popularity is not bad, because he has read books, there is ink in his stomach, and the soldiers in the army want to write a letter to their families or something, and most of them are looking for him.
In the army, there are many people who have never read a book, but they all respect the readers. Don't look at the court, Wenchen and the military generals always don't deal with each other, but in fact, what the military generals hate is just those sour Confucians' posture of standing and talking without backache, but they are still in awe of the knowledge itself.
Although Chai Zhao has read books, he is more delicate than those big and three thick, but he is not the feeling of a white-faced scholar, he is very tall, and his appearance is more heroic, but his personality does not match that appearance very well, but it does not give people a nasty feeling.
Before the 300,000 army was annihilated, Fang Xiaoyu said, no, it should be Wen Yingzi's impression of Chai Zhao is just that. However, what Wen Yingzi will never forget is that, just like Huo Laosan and others, he used his life to block the fatal injury for her. In order to let her go back alive, they used themselves as a human wall one after another, paving a way for her to escape.
He didn't say anything to him before he died, he didn't have a last word to explain, and he didn't have a family to take care of him, because he almost died on the spot, and she didn't even have a chance to say thank you.
Fang Xiaoyu just smiled, and tears flowed out of her laughter.
Ye Xi didn't persuade him, he knew that at this time, no matter how many languages he spoke, he would be pale.
"Original...... It turned out that there were still people who survived. Got married in a place I didn't know, had children, and had a full house of children and grandchildren. It's true...... It's great......" Fang Xiaoyu felt relieved and bitter from the bottom of her heart for the first time.
has been smoothed out by countless reincarnations, and has almost a dispensable mentality for life. At that time, I found the passion to live in this army of 300,000. However, such happiness was too short-lived.
The more you rely on it, the more painful it will be when you lose. She can obviously live with these people's share, even if she survives, even if she is like a lost dog, but they exchanged their lives for her survival, she should have lived with gratitude, lived, and lived until she died naturally.
However, she can't pass her own level, she can't carry the lives of 300,000 people to survive in the world. There is no way for her to serve this filthy royal family, and she has no way to live secretly with the responsibility that she should not have been for the 300,000 people.
The most important thing is that when she saw King Huai again, although she had tried hard to make herself endure and endure again, the monstrous anger and resentment could not be hidden at all.
Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Even if he angers the emperor because of this, even if he affects the family because of this, even if his life is not guaranteed because of this! Kill him!
Thinking so, she did it.
Not impulsively, on the contrary, she was unusually calm at that time. She thought clearly about the consequences of a qiē, but the answer she got was to follow her heart.
Her original intention was to kill him and avenge my 300,000 soldiers! There was a prince who buried her with her, although it was not worth it, she also recognized it.
"If your dream spans seven hundred years of reality, does it prove that it may not be a simple dream, but your past and present lives?" Ye Xici raised such a possibility.
A dream that alludes to the past seven hundred years.
The real Yue Guo. The real Chen Guo. The real Chai Zhao. The real Wen Yingzi.
A single qiē in a dream can be found in the history books. Maybe the record is not too detailed, but whether it is the name or experience, it is strikingly similar, is it really just a coincidence?
Fang Xiaoyu was stunned.
Ye Xici is right, that is one of her countless past lives. She remembered the truth she didn't even want to touch again. However, she also found it a little incredible.
She had always thought that the world she was reincarnated in was made up of countless strange parallel worlds. Because her past lives are really varied and exciting.
Ancient, modern, technological, immortal cultivators. She has experienced all kinds of worlds, and she can't associate them in a parallel world at all.
However, the rebirth of this life here has allowed her to span seven hundred years from that life.
What makes her care is that Yue Guo and Dacheng are actually the same world.
So, will the other dozens of reincarnations also be the same world as now, just at a different point in time?
Could it be that she has been going around in circles in the same parallel world all along? (To be continued.) )
