Chapter 283: Cold Heart and Cold Feelings

Chen Wenhui was listening to Zhao Chongyi say that he went to his father's place.

Zhao Chongyi said: "The eldest brother is very happy to hear the news, he is almost crazy, but such a big matter is not something he can decide alone." So, he still wanted to discuss it with his father. So, the two of us went to my father's farm. ”

Chen Wenhui listened carefully.

Zhao Chongyi said with excitement on his face: "My father was very happy to hear that my eldest brother could go to the Wa Kingdom to fight, and he went around the study a few times. He said that he had always felt sorry for his big brother. Because the eldest brother is a general, ten fierce generals, if it weren't for his son, he would definitely be able to achieve great achievements and go down in history, but because he is his son, he can only be an idle prince in the capital, and he eats and waits for hunger every day, which is really a waste. Therefore, he has always felt guilty about his eldest brother. Even if he passed on the title of Duke of Loyalty to his eldest brother, he still felt sorry for his eldest brother. Because in his opinion, being able to go to the battlefield is the best destination for a general. ”

For this kind of war maniac, Chen Wenhui has seen a lot on TV and books in his previous life, so he can understand it. They were born to fight. can't fight, although the clothes and food are the same, life is better than death. Chen Wenhui said: "I can understand my father about this. Take me, for example. It's not that our family has no money now, but why do I keep building cities, doing business, and making so much money? Because the business has been deeply rooted in my bone marrow and has been a part of my life, if I want to wait for a long time in the capital, I will enjoy the flowers every day like an ordinary lady. Drinking tea, intrigue life, I will really go crazy. ”

Zhao Chongyi took Chen Wenhui's fragrant shoulder and said, "I knew you could understand." That's what I like about you. If you are an ordinary lady of Great Chu, you will definitely think that our father and son are crazy, and that we are all war maniacs, only you understand our sincerity. In this regard, my father was not as lucky as me. Although he had a large number of wives and concubines, none of his women could understand his thoughts. For example, my mother-in-law. As soon as she heard about it. My father agreed that my eldest brother would help your little Chen family go to the Japanese country to lead the troops to fight, and it immediately exploded, and it had to make trouble. said that our father and son were stupid, how could a dignified prince go to work for the Xiao Chen family. Are we still officials of the imperial court? What benefits can the Xiao Chen family give us? ”

Chen Wenhui couldn't help frowning and said, "Mrs. Zhao really doesn't know what to do. I think my father is very disgusted with her like this, right? ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "It's not just my father's disgust. Even the filial eldest brother was upset. Even the third brother understands things, and he is very much in favor of the eldest brother going to the Japanese country to make contributions. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect the third brother to understand the reason." I didn't understand it when I looked at it before, but I thought it was because I had lived with Mrs. Zhao for a long time. You see Mrs. Zhao brought the three sisters of the Zhao family. The nostrils are facing the sky, and I don't understand the sophistication of human feelings, how about it, and I don't suffer a lot, right? Look at it, Zhao Yufei is also going to hit a wall. ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "This is yes. However, fortunately, the third brother was found out in time, and then he personally took the third brother with him to teach. After this year's education, I also feel that the third brother understands a lot. In time, he is also a good man. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded. For her father-in-law, her impression is quite good.

Zhao Chongyi continued: "Hui'er, do you know? After my father agreed to my eldest brother's visit to the Japanese kingdom, not to mention that my eldest brother and I were very happy, even my father was also very happy. However, later, his father became lonely again, and he envied his eldest brother for being able to return to the battlefield. I relented for a while, so I told my father-in-law what he said. Sue him that he will still have a chance to return to the battlefield in the future. Moreover, he will come to fight for the city of his daughter-in-law. Xiao Chen's family and you agreed to let him lead troops to Nanyang to exterminate the natives in the future. However, this opportunity still has to wait. Because he is different from the eldest brother, he has to wait for the emperor to be in the sky. ”

After hearing this, my father thought about it for a long time, and finally sighed and said that he understood this truth. My father-in-law was right. Although the emperor has achieved him, the emperor is too suspicious, after all, he dislikes his high achievements, and he is a little uneasy, especially about his management of the northwest. However, if you go to Nanyang, it will be different, and you can still understand it if you want to come to the emperor. Especially the crown prince, he has a good relationship with me, and he will definitely fulfill this wish of my father. So, to be on the safe side, let's wait a while. After saying that, my father looked a little bad, so he let us all come back. I guess my father is hurt in his heart, the emperor he treats most loyally, can he not be sad if he is so suspicious of him? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "This emperor is very suspicious, he is a hero, and he is talented, so he can barely be regarded as a wise man." However, his heart prevented him from accomplishing great things. For example, he was bent on weakening the power of the family. For this, he suppressed his mother's family. even treated his own son, the prince was not good, forced him everywhere, and finally forced the prince to rebel, he abolished the queen and the prince, in order to suppress the Wang family. Of course, he sacrificed his mother, his wife and son, in exchange for the temporary decline of the Li family and the Wang family. However, in the current world, is the power of the family small? No. The Chen family has become more powerful, and the Bai family has also developed. There is even one more of our Xiao Chen family. In the future, there will be one more Zhao family for us. Hmph, tell me, what's going on? ”

When Zhao Chongyi heard this, he was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, this is indeed the truth. I couldn't help but say, "That's really the case for you to say that." You're so smart. ”

Chen Wenhui continued: "If he didn't have such a vicious heart, if he didn't treat his mother so much, his son, and his wife, it would not be impossible to weaken these families. After all, it was his mother, wife, and son, although they had the blood of the family, they were still closer to him. If he gets the support of his relatives, can't the Queen Mother restrict the Li family? Can't the queen restrict the royal family? Is the prince closer to his grandfather and uncles, or to his father and mother? That may not be the situation it is today, and it will not allow the eldest aunt to find a gap and make a comeback, and there will be no day when our Chen family and the little Chen family rise. ”

Zhao Chongyi nodded in admiration.

Chen Wenhui continued: "Then I want to talk about the prince. Actually, I don't like him either, although he is supported by our Xiao Chen family and is still your friend, but I am also not optimistic about him. ”

Zhao Chongyi was stunned, Chen Wenhui actually looked at the prince like this. You know, the prince is his good friend, right?

Chen Wenhui looked at Zhao Chongyi's eyes and said, "The prince is a person with a cold face, and his heart is even colder. He is a royal nobleman, but you know better than I do about his youth. He suffered a lot of white eyes inside and outside the palace, and tasted the warmth and coldness of the world. Therefore, his heart was cold. Especially the attitude towards women. He is really good-looking, and he can be said to be the most beautiful man in the world. Such a beautiful man should never have been an emperor in the first place. Women are not as good-looking as him. Therefore, he does not treat women as women. He doesn't treat beauties as beauties, in his heart, women are tools he uses. ”

Zhao Chongyi didn't say a word, and listened quietly.

Chen Wenhui said: "You see, when he and my lobby sister Chen Wenfeng got married, he was just a little-known little prince, not even a prince, just a county king, who looked at it, the eunuchs, families, and nobles in the capital accepted him?" It was the lobby sister who brought the Chen family backstage for him, and pulled my eldest aunt, who was still supported by Concubine De at that time. also opened the social circle of the family and the nobility for him in the capital. ”

These are all experienced by Zhao Chongyi and Liu Yan together, how could he not know?

Chen Wenhui continued: "But what happened later? He met our family who could be more helpful to him, so, later, after the lobby sister offended us, he did not hesitate to snub the lobby sister, you say, isn't his heart cold? ”

This Zhao Chongyi also understood, he said: "I and Jingyuan persuaded him back then. ”

Chen Wenhui sneered and said, "What's the use of persuasion, will he listen?" To this day, what about my lobby sister? Okay, let's not talk about that. Let's talk about Wang Yaozhen. You know that, too. Wang Yaozhen is my good sister, of course, she was a good sister in the past. At that time, Wang Yaozhen was young and girlish, and after seeing the beautiful man Liu Yan, she couldn't stop his charm and wanted to marry him. The Wang family, a merchant family, also wants to tie up the big tree of the prince. Therefore, Wang Yaozhen was married to the palace. Look, what did Liu Yan do to her? Liu Yan relied on the Wang family to make money, first got the investment income of Shanghai City, and then got the support of the Wang Bank, which gave him the funds for political activities. Only then did he come to today's position step by step. Then, I think you also know that although Wang Yaozhen became the prince Liangdi and gave birth to a son, is she favored? ”

Zhao Chongyi opened his mouth and didn't speak.

Chen Wenhui continued: "There is also Li Shuyu, without Li Shuyu, the Li family can take refuge in him like this, and he can get the support of Jiangnan Shilin?" Finally, we must talk about Bai Liangdi and Ma Liangdi. Needless to say, one of them brought him the support of the Bai family, and the other brought him the support of the emperor's cronies. Awesome. Beautiful men really don't grow in vain. ”

Zhao Chongyi listened to Chen Wenhui's sarcastic words and didn't say anything, because he didn't have words to refute, and what Chen Wenhui said was the truth.

In fact, in his heart, he didn't think about these problems, but the friendship with Liu Yan is not a day or two, it is the brotherhood of his youth, and it is even better than the relationship of his eldest brother Zhao Chongli. Therefore, he chose not to see, chose not to ignore these, and chose to be inclusive. However, today, Chen Wenhui uncovered this scar. He had to face this blood. (To be continued......)
