Chapter 188: Zhenyuan Marquis Gu Cheng
In Kuizhou City, in the handsome tent of Gu Cheng, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, Chen Kan was exchanging cups with Gu Cheng.
After returning from Qinglong Gorge yesterday, Chen Kan prepared to rest in Kuizhou for a day, and then returned to Beijing from the river downstream.
Now that he has arrived in Kuizhou, he should come to visit this Hou Ye who has helped him a lot.
So, Chen Kan came.
Gu Cheng is already very old, and he is almost seventy years old this year.
From the previous dynasty to the Zheng period, he was the pro-army in front of the grandfather's tent.
When Zhu Di raised an army to settle the rebellion, he was recruited by Emperor Jianwen to Geng Bingwen to go north to quell the rebellion, and later surrendered to Yan after being captured in the Battle of Zhending.
When Zhu Di ascended the throne, he pitied him for being a veteran of the previous dynasty, and still appointed him to restore Guizhou after giving the Danshu Iron Coupon, and suppressed the three southwestern provinces together with Xiping Hou Musheng.
This time the Shu King Zhu Chun rebelled, and the original candidates for the counterinsurgency of the imperial court were Mu Sheng and his southwest border army, but the situation in Yunnan was also unstable.
Zhu Di thought twice, so he had to let the veteran Gu Cheng take his miscellaneous soldiers into Shuzhong to quell the rebellion.
Speaking of which, a vassal king rebelled, and Gu Chengping failed to arrest Zhu Chun back to Beijing for trial for several months.
Now the DPRK and China are already quite complaining about him.
It's just that his qualifications and status are there, after all, he is an old man in the Taizu period, and the ministers in the court still have to sell him a little face.
Zhu Di also considered that when Gu Cheng surrendered to him, all his sons were killed by Jianwen, leaving only an eldest grandson, Gu Xingzu, and a younger daughter, Gu Tao, who really couldn't bear to change generals and hurt the heart of this old minister.
On Gu Cheng's side, Kuimen was too dangerous to attack for a long time, so he simply stayed in Kuizhou and played a protracted battle with Zhu Chun on the mountain.
Looking at Gu Cheng, who was gray-bearded but still in good spirits in front of him, Chen Kan raised his wine glass and signaled to him: "This time, I can wipe out the backbone of the white lotus in Shuzhong, thanks to the great help of the Hou Ye, the next official will pay tribute to the Hou Ye." ”
Gu Cheng raised his wine glass, and his old face was full of smiles.
The name Chen Kan, he has long been like thunder, every time something big happens in the capital, the name Chen Kan is always indispensable on the secret report he receives.
When he learned that this Chen Kan was the son of his old comrade-in-arms Chen Heng, he even had to send people to help him when the war was stalemate.
Now that he has succeeded, he is certainly qualified to drink this wine.
Gu Cheng took a heroic sip of the Chinese wine in the toast, and said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew is a subordinate official, and he is divided, Benhou and your father are old friends, if you don't dislike it, you can call the old man an uncle." ”
Gu Cheng's words came from the heart, when he fought in Yunnan during the Hongwu period, he and Chen Heng were both generals in Fu Youde's account, and their friendship has always been good.
After pacifying Yunnan, Hong Wuye asked him to serve as the chief soldier of Guizhou, and Chen Heng was ordered to stay in Beijing, and the two kept in touch by letter until Chen Heng was implicated in the Lanyu case, and the two families had no contact.
When he heard that his old friend was in trouble, he once wanted to take care of his old friend's descendants.
However, Hong Wuye's temperament became more and more violent, and the ministers did not dare to contact each other at all, for fear of being accused of some kind of party, and he was far away in Guizhou, so he did not have the spare strength to rescue Chen Kan.
Later, when he heard that Chen Kan had been adopted by Fang Xiaoru, he was relieved.
In order to avoid bringing some unnecessary trouble to Chen Kan, he has not personally inquired about Chen Kan's life over the years, but he still keeps in touch with Fang Xiaoru, and Fang Xiaoru will often inform him of Chen Kan's recent situation.
Now that he finally saw his old friend's heir, he didn't mention how happy he was in his heart, and his rough face had not restrained his smile since Chen Kan entered the big tent.
Chen Kan smiled slightly, and shouted without any twist: "Uncle." ”
Although Chen Heng was still a social animal in later generations when he was alive, now that he occupies the body of his descendants, it is natural for him to inherit the connections and resources of the original body, and he does not have any psychological burden when he calls his uncle.
"Hahahaha......"
As soon as his uncle spoke, Gu Cheng suddenly burst out laughing, and the whole person exuded a heroic temperament from the inside out.
"Okay, good nephew......"
Chen Kan didn't know whether he was talking about a good nephew or a good nephew, but he had a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of older generation.
After all, he has been tortured by Fang Xiaoru for so long.
So he hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Uncle has worked hard for the country, and now he is even more old in Shu to quell the rebellion, and the little nephew will give you another glass." ”
After speaking, he picked up his glass and drank it.
After a few glasses of wine, Chen Kan's face turned red, and his whole person's movements began to become cute.
As the saying goes, life is like a drama all depends on acting skills, Gu Cheng intends to befriend himself, and Chen Kan will naturally not turn people away.
I want to change Daming, but my strength is still too thin, so I can accumulate a little bit now.
To borrow a phrase from the later generation of Taizu, we must make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible.
Gu Cheng was even more satisfied when he saw this, judging from his many years of experience, if a person does not cheat and play tricks at the wine table, then this person's character will basically not be bad.
What's more, the kid in front of him is still the son of an old friend, and he is a student personally taught by a generation of Wenzong Fang Xiaoru.
He took the wine glass and drank it dry, and said with a smile: "The way you drink is somewhat similar to your father, he never cheats and plays tricks at the wine table." ”
Looking at Chen Kanling's angular face, there was still a little bit of his father's shadow, and he seemed to have regained the feeling that after the pacification of Yunnan, several people drank freely in Fu Dashuai's tent.
It's a pity that Siren has passed away, and now Mu Ying, Fu Youde, and Chen Heng have all turned into soil, leaving him alone to live in the world.
Even to quell a Zhu Chun rebellion, it took so long and was not successful.
"I'm too old to hold a knife."
For a while, Gu Cheng was a little embarrassed.
"What my uncle said is that drinking, cheating, and playing tricks are the work of soft eggs......"
Chen Kan replied with a humble attitude.
"Hahahaha, what the virtuous nephew said is very true, today, our grandfather will not return if he is not drunk......"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Cheng immediately laughed heroically, he hadn't been so happy for a long time.
Chen Kan continued to respond: "Uncle is right, if you don't get drunk, you won't return, and the little nephew will toast you again." ”
Chen Kan's amount of alcohol is actually okay, but compared to a wine veteran like Gu Cheng, he is a little stretched.
If at the beginning of his slightly drunk state was three points true and seven points false, then now after a few consecutive glasses of wine, it is seven points true and three points false.
His head was a little dizzy, and Chen Kan wondered if he would lie on the table and take a nap.
Gu Cheng suddenly smiled and said, "I heard Tao'er say that when you came from Jingshi, you were in the same boat with her, and some interesting things happened on the boat?" ”
"The content of Chapter 187 was sent out yesterday, but I don't know why the review has not been passed, everyone wait for the time being, and I will ask what the situation is when I go to work in the background on Monday."
