The emperor didn't care at all how much the uncle would set off in the harem and in the capital, and invited Chen Yuanheng and the concubine to dinner. Chen Yuanheng and the concubine both forced a smile. Originally, Chen Yuanheng and Guifei hadn't seen each other for many years, and they had been for more than 20 years. Such a sister and brother meeting should have had mixed feelings and told each other goodbye, but now they are beating drums in their hearts, and they are all thinking about the wind and rain they have to deal with after dinner, where are they still in the mood to say goodbye.

On the contrary, the emperor's meal was delicious, and there was a lot of talk and laughter during the banquet, of course, it was all his old man talking about it, and he also called out one by one concubine and one by one. Fortunately, I didn't say anything about my uncle again.

After the meal, Chen Yuanheng retired, the emperor was about to rest, and Chen Guifei also returned to Zhongcui Palace. As soon as Zhong Cui Palace, the concubine's face was pulled down, and she waved back left and right, leaving only a big palace maid Yu'er, Chen Guifei's anger couldn't hold back anymore: "Yu'er, the emperor is coming for me."

Yu'er was a little puzzled: "Niangniang, the emperor can't ask for such a favor?" values the third master so much, and also rewarded the third master and his mother for dining with the emperor, what a great honor this is, even the queen can't enjoy it? Also, the third master is just a thorn history, the world, the thorn history can eat with the emperor, it is estimated that there is no yet. ”

Chen Guifei said angrily: "It's because the queen can't enjoy it that it's an angry person." Who am I? said that it sounded good, it was the mother, the concubine, the first person below the queen, in charge of the harem. Actually? The emperor's wife has always been only one, the queen, we are all concubines, do you see that the family of the concubine is regarded as a proper relative? There is only one family of uncles in the Great Chu Dynasty, that is, the Wang family, where can our Chen family be the identity of the national uncle, besides, even if I become the queen, the third brother cannot be the national uncle. This uncle is also the eldest brother and the second brother, and the third brother is a concubine, doesn't the emperor know this? ”

Yu'er understood a little now: "Then why did the emperor deliberately say this when he knew it?" ”

Chen Guifei said hatefully: "This is for me, this is to provoke the conflict between the Chen family and the Wang family, can this queen be willing?" Can this Wang family not hate the Chen family? Can this eldest brother and second brother not hate the third brother? This emperor's chess is high, in a word, let us suffer from the enemy. It's a stretch for us to take care of. ”

Yu'er gasped, the emperor's mind was too vicious.

Chen Guifei said again: "The emperor really loves the third brother." ”

Yu'er didn't understand again: "According to what Niangniang said, this emperor wants to make the third master suffer from the enemy." It's a harm to him. Why did you have a heart of love? ”

Chen Guifei said: "This is the emperor's technique." Because the emperor admires the third brother. For the third brother, he had a heart of love for talent, so he deliberately let him suffer from the enemy, the family could not rely on him, and the Wang family had to deal with him. In this way, he can only be loyal to the emperor, so that he is not a member of the Chen family, but a person of the emperor. This is to make the third brother a lonely minister. ”

This has turned back and forth, and Yu'er is really dizzy.

Chen Guifei said: "My Chen family is such a capable person, the emperor still doesn't like it, he must take it away, it seems that the emperor still hates the nobles of the family as always." I'm just such a helper, and the emperor wants to get him away from me. Hum. It's a pity that the emperor made a thousand calculations, but he miscalculated one thing. ”

Yu'er asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Chen Guifei said: "I miscalculated me. I didn't support the four princes to be a queen, nor did I support the four princes to revitalize the Chen family, I have my reasons. This was miscalculated by the emperor. Hum. ”

Yu'er suddenly remembered the goal of her people, and her heart perked up and said, "Yes, Niangniang, what are we going to do next?" ”

Chen Guifei said: "The emperor wants me to fight with the queen, I don't want to fight, hmph, I don't want to be the queen, even if it's this concubine, I don't want to be it." You go and ask someone to tell the third brother in private, let him hurry up and turn back to Jiangnan. Don't worry about these things in the court, let's develop your own strength first. ”

Yu'er hurriedly agreed and went out.

Chen Yuanheng returned to the Chen family's mansion after coming out of the palace, greeted his father and mother-in-law, and then met with his two elder brothers. At this time, the news from the palace had not yet come, and everyone did not know that Chen Yuanheng was called the uncle of the emperor by the emperor, so the family met harmoniously. Chen Yuanheng's two elder brothers didn't look down on this younger brother who was born out of the house, but now they are also very enthusiastic, as if they have always been close brothers. The mother-in-law, Li, is also kind and caring.

Chen Yuanheng took his two sons to deal with them, and under the pretext that he was tired, he took his two sons back to his house.

Chen Yuanheng hadn't seen his eldest son for a long time, so when he saw it, he looked at it carefully, and asked his son with a smile about the situation after saying goodbye.

Chen Wenjun saw that he was in his own house, and there was no one in the room, so he said, "Father, have you ever been to the clan land?" When I went to the clan land, I realized that I knew too little about our five major families before. ”

Chen Yuanheng said with a smile: "When I was a teenager, I had an unexpected opportunity to go to the clan land once. ”

Chen Wenjun said: "I used to look at the map of the world, and I always felt that something was wrong, but now I understand that the world is divided by the five major families. ”

Chen Wenlin was surprised: "What do you mean by dividing." What is the mystery of our clan land? Isn't it like those common families in the countryside, that is, they live together, have ancestral halls, and have a lot of land? ”

Chen Wenjun smiled: "Brother, that's what I thought before, but it's just that our five major families must be bigger than those country clans we usually use." But from the time I went, I realized that it was completely different from here. ”

Chen Wenlin asked, "How is it different?" ”

Chen Wenjun didn't speak, but looked at Chen Yuanheng, and Chen Yuanheng said with a smile: "The location of the clan land is different. Our Chen family's clan land is in the northeast, which is relatively close to the capital. The Bai family's clan land is in the northwest, and the Li family's clan land, which is on a plateau in the extreme west, where our Chen family's clan land is even more magical. The royal family's clan land is in the southwest, where the four seasons are warm and there are many high mountains. In fact, the royal family also has its own clan land, and their clan land is now occupied by the barbarians, but unfortunately, their ambitions are too great, and when the dynasty changes, they are taken advantage of by the barbarians and occupy their own clan land. Therefore, the emperors of all dynasties regarded the barbarians as their greatest enemies. But they also get more, and they get the world. ”

Chen Wenjun asked, "Father, have you been to all these clan lands?" ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Yes." When I was young, for a while, I was very angry about my life experience, why am I a concubine, I am not convinced, obviously I am stronger than the eldest brother and the second brother, why am I bullied everywhere. Once, something happened and I ran out in a fit of rage. Later, I was lucky enough to make some friends. We went on a trip to these big families together. ”

Chen Wenjun was a little fascinated: "I'm very envious." I went to the Chen family's clan land. I realized that I used to be just a frog at the bottom of a well, and now I just want to go to all the clan lands. When I was in the clan, I heard from my brothers and uncles. The Li family's clan land is the most magical. There are Gobi and deserts in the Bai family's clan land, these are all places I don't understand, I really want to see them. ”

Chen Wenlin said: "Brother, what you said is itchy in my heart, you first say what our clan land is like? And then my father said what other tribes were like? ”

Chen Wenjun said: "I went to my family's clan land, and it was still summer, and it was not cold in the clan land. Where there are no officials of the imperial court, we ourselves are the masters. There are many people in the Chen family. Each room has its own branch, there are too many. But it's more about the people. These people are under our own rule. We pay a lot of taxes to the imperial court every year. Of course, the imperial court will not send troops to us, and we will have to raise our own army. ”

Chen Wenlin was dumbfounded: "I really didn't think of this thing, it's not said in the book." Under the whole world, is it not the king's land, and the shore of the land, is it not the king's ministers? ”

Chen Wenjun said: "Yes, I used to think so, but when I went to the clan land, I found out that we were all frogs at the bottom of the well, and those books were used by the court to fool the people of the world." In fact, this is not said in the books of the clan, which say that the place where we live is a big round ball. ”

Chen Wenlin shouted "ah". He said, "How is it possible, if it were a ball, how would we stand?" ”

Chen Wenjun frowned and said, "I don't understand the specifics, anyway, that's what the book says." The book also says that the round sphere where we are located is more oceans and less land, in addition to the land where our Great Chu Dynasty is located, there are many lands, and there are many Hu people, they have high noses and deep eyes, white skin, blue eyes, some have red hair, some have golden hair, and some people are black. ”

Chen Wenlin hurriedly said: "We've seen this, sometimes there are people from the Western Regions in the capital who don't have blond orchids?" Also, many nobles have black Kunlun slaves in their homes. ”

Chen Wenjun said: "Yes, we have all seen these, and it is precisely because we have seen them that I believe that what is said in the books in the clan land is true." The books say that the continent we are on is Asia, and there is Africa where blacks live, and there is South America, and North America, and there is Europe where whites live, and Oceania. The most amazing thing is that there is an Antarctica in the far south, which is covered in snow all year round. ”

Chen Wenlin listened blankly. Chen Wenjun said: "The most powerful person in the clan is the patriarch, and then the various elders. There are those who are in charge of military power, those who are in charge of agriculture, those who are in charge of workshops, those who are in charge of education, and those who are in charge of criminal law, anyway, they are the same as a small court. There is one of the greatest enemies in our clan, so the people of our clan are very strong, because they have to fight all year round. ”

Chen Wenlin hurriedly asked: "Do you still want to go into battle to kill the enemy?" Is it a barbarian? ”

Chen Wenjun said: "It is a branch of the barbarians, belonging to the Northeast barbarians, and those barbarians who knock on the pass all want to break our clan land so that they can enter the Huahua world of the Central Plains." If it weren't for the fact that our clans all helped the court defend against foreigners, how could the court tolerate us. ”

Chen Wenlin nodded and asked, "Brother, did you go into battle to kill the enemy?" Have you ever killed someone? ”

Chen Wenjun's eyes became cold, as if there was frost rolling in his eyes: "I have killed people, killed with my own hands, many people." ”

Chen Wenlin was cold.
