Chapter 43: Shall I Die?

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Chu Yujia walked out of the palace and glanced back at the golden and splendid hall.

This is the center of the military and political affairs of the Ye State, and countless military orders and the will of the king are transmitted from here.

This is also a place where all the soldiers of the Ye Kingdom swore their lives to defend, even if the enemy pierced their chests, because they wanted to defend this place, they would not take half a step back.

It's also the place where his father fought for it.

Not to mention other places, just talk about the Northwest Army, there are I don't know how many veterans have died on the battlefield, and the columbarium sent back from the border every year is also a carriage and a carriage to go back.

Since ancient times, I have only seen Lang Jun go west, and he has seen Lang Jun return to the east.

Looking at this palace, Chu Yujia had a lot of thoughts.

In the future, it seems that he will be like his father, and he will shed his blood to protect this place.

Chu Yujia looked up and smiled, and couldn't help but think of the scene when his father took him into the palace to meet King Lao Ye for the first time.

At that time, Chu Yujia was still young and ignorant, and when he saw such a magnificent hall, he felt curious at the same time, but he was also a little scared.

Along the way, Chu Yujia could only stare at his father's footsteps and walk forward, he clearly remembered that his father had walked a total of two hundred and ninety-three steps, and he had walked three hundred and ninety steps.

Now that he has grown up, he has once again walked the same path that his father took him, and it seems that it is not so long, and when he looks at this hall, the feeling of fear has completely disappeared.

"Congratulations to General Chu......"

At this time, a man of the same age as Chu Yujia walked behind Chu Yujia.

Chu Yujia slowly turned his head and looked at the man, frowning.

"I'm afraid you and I haven't seen each other for eighteen years, no, no, we just met some time ago. ”

Hearing this, Chu Yujia's brows furrowed even tighter.

The man shook his head and said with a smile: "It seems that Yu Jia has forgotten me, I don't know if you still remember the little Kuanzi who pestered you to take me to play with back then." ”

"Little Kuanko?"

Chu Yujia looked at the man in front of him with a surprised face.

Who is Xiao Kuanzi, he may not have known when he was a child, but when he grows up, how can he not know?

It is Zhao Kuan, the eldest son of Ye Guo and who will inherit the throne of King Ye in the future.

Eighteen years ago, the current King of Ye, Zhao Yan, was not the King of Ye, or even the crown prince, but just one of the many sons of the Ye Kingdom.

And the eldest son, Zhao Kuan, is only one of the many kings and grandsons, and his reputation is not obvious, and he always likes to secretly take the scholar to the Hussar General's Mansion to pester Chu Yujia to go out to play.

At that time, he was wearing snot, although he was wearing silk and satin, but he was always dirty, but now he is looking at it, wearing a brocade robe, his face is as white as jade, and he looks like a handsome son.

But seeing him again, Chu Yujia also remembered that he seemed to have seen him before, in Huling Pass, the young soldier guarding the city gate.

Knowing that Chu Yujia had already remembered, Zhao Kuan looked up and laughed out loud, and said: "Yujia, Yujia, you kid is really forgetful, when I was in Huling Pass, I was a little nervous, afraid that your kid would say my name directly, but it's good, you kid didn't look at me at all, it's not that your brother has an opinion on you, it's that you are really a bit too much." ”

Hearing this, Chu Yujia also smiled slightly, and said: "I haven't seen you for eighteen years, you and I have changed too much, I'm afraid you only knew who I was after seeing my documents, so you don't have to say that I am excessive, after all, you forgot me first." ”

"Aha, okay, in that case, then I'll invite you to drink?"

"Okay, I didn't know you were our Daye's son before, but you are a poor boy from which family, you didn't pit me for eating and drinking, and now I have to get it back. ”

The two walked away talking and laughing, and the ministers who were watching around were some happy and some worried.

The general Wu Dangguo and the Taifu Li Puyi glanced at each other, snorted coldly at each other and turned to walk away, only Prime Minister Gong Qingdang stood outside the hall and looked at the backs of the two leaving, his eyes were deep.

The two said they were drinking, but they actually went to the teahouse in the end.

Ling Youge, one of the few elegant tea houses in Ye Kingdom, many literati and writers like to bring their confidants to talk here.

Chu Yujia used to be a frequent visitor here, but after those changes, he hasn't been here for three years.

Chu Yujia and Zhao Kuan came to the second floor and found a relatively quiet place to sit opposite each other.

There are so many sons and princesses in the Ye royal court, which one can make Ye Wang Zhao Yan treat him differently, and only this eldest son Zhao Kuan has been cared for in every way from the beginning.

Commenting on the sons of the princes of the world, in terms of word of mouth, this son named Zhao Kuan is not inferior to anyone else.

Zhao Kuan is different from other princes and grandsons, what sage books do other princes and grandsons read, and they are all studying how to govern the country and the country, but this son is good, since he was five years old, he has frequently run to the mansion of the hussar general Chu Qianwen, and even at the cost of stalking, he has to learn how to govern the army and how to lead the troops to fight with Chu Qianwen.

Thirteen-year-old Zhao Kuan secretly followed Chu Qianwen to the northwest, which even Chu Yujia had never experienced.

Even in the year when Zhao Kuan was fifteen years old, he also went to Gumo Country with Chu Qianwen, and even broke the three cities and sixteen villages of Gumo, and his methods of doing things were even more iron-blooded than Chu Qianwen's iron-blooded policy, which can be described by the four words of killing people like hemp, to a large extent, he even surpassed Chu Yujia.

Later, when the Northwest tribe learned that this guy, who was even more ruthless than Chu Qianwen, turned out to be the eldest son of the Ye State, they were all shocked.

But such a murderous son of the eldest son of the Ye Kingdom, he didn't say anything in front of Chu Yujia, and even had to serve tea and water to Chu Yujia.

Filling the teacup in front of Chu Yujia, Zhao Kuan said with a resentful face: "I said Yujia, I am also an eldest son, why did you kid let me serve you tea and water?"

"It's light for you to serve tea and water. ”

Chu Yujia picked up the teacup and took a slow sip and said, "You have taken my military book for more than ten years, is it time to return it to me?"

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Kuan, who was originally full of resentment, immediately became hippie and smiled, and casually took out a yellowed book from his arms and threw it to Chu Yujia and said, "It's not just a military book, it's not okay to return you, you kid is really exactly the same as more than ten years ago." ”

"Aren't you?"

"Hahahaha. ”

Zhao Kuan also took a sip of tea, sighed and said: "I know that you have a grudge against my father, but you also have to know that my father has my father's suffering, so I hope you understand, besides, it was not ...... that harmed your whole family back then."

"Huh. ”

Chu Yujia interrupted Zhao Kuan's words with laughter.

This is not something that can be said casually, if it was placed in the past, Chu Yu Jiada could have a big talk with Zhao Kuangao, but now the identities and status of the two people are different.

Chu Yujia didn't answer Zhao Kuan's words, and asked after a change of words: "I heard that after I left, you walked in the opposite direction to me, and also walked 1,600 miles?"

"yes. ”

Zhao Kuan drank the tea, and his expression was a little melancholy: "After Uncle Chu had that incident, I also thought about it for a long time, and finally I couldn't figure out what was going on, so I told my father that I wanted to go out to see the world of Ye Kingdom, and on the day you left, I also left." ”

"I made a bet with you when I was seven years old, and I said that if I couldn't be a general, I wouldn't meet you, and you told me that if you didn't become a big official, you wouldn't meet me. ”

"It's just that I didn't expect that now that you have become a general, I have become a big official. ”

Zhao Kuan took another sip of tea: "I have imagined countless times what it will be like when the two of us brothers meet again, whether it is to guide the country together, or to fight side by side, but I didn't expect you kid to recognize me, and he made a big limelight." ”

Chu Yujia shrugged his shoulders and said, "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, who knew that your kid was still so ugly." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Kuan took a sip of tea and stopped talking.

I'm afraid that only Zhao Kuan and Chu Yujia know what the relationship between the Chu family and the Ye royal court was.

Chu Yujia practiced martial arts but didn't dare to speak, nominally he was protected in the capital and was not persecuted by those Chu Qianwen's enemies, but in fact, what was the difference between being imprisoned?

At that time, today's King Ye was also the general of Wang Sun who led the troops to guard the northeast, and he was seriously ill, how could his son be spared?

To a certain extent, the two can be said to be sympathetic.

"The Moon Tomb has not been peaceful these days, you must remember to be careful in your actions, especially since you have been pardoned now, and you must be even more careful when you take your siblings and nieces over. ”

Hearing the implication of his words, Chu Yujia raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you leaving?"

"yes. ”

Zhao Kuan smiled and said, "There has been a famine in Qing'an County recently, and my father wants me to escort the disaster relief food over. ”

"Well, I've heard that I've passed through it during my travels, and the people are more fierce than in other counties, and there are many bandits. ”

"Yes, that's why my father let me go. ”

Zhao Kuan smiled and took a sip of tea and said, "Yu Jia, you are a smart person, you should know what your father means by doing this." ”

What does it mean?

It is nothing more than wanting to help Zhao Yan accumulate merits and prepare for the future succession.

Chu Yujia smiled, put down the teacup, then stood up and said: "Don't worry, I know what you want to say, you can rest assured that you will be your king, and you can also rest assured to expand outward, as long as I am here, the northwest gateway will not be lost, and the iron cavalry of Gumo Country will not step into Ye Country by half a step." ”

Chu Yujia got up to leave, and when he walked to the staircase, he suddenly stopped.

Chu Yujia looked back at Zhao Kuan, with a bright smile on his face, and said, "Little Kuanzi, if one day, I fall into a situation like my father, will I die?"

Hearing this, Zhao Kuan's hand holding the teacup trembled, and finally laughed out loud on his back, looking back at Chu Yujia: "As long as you don't lead the troops eastward, I will never move you." ”

"I don't want you to move me, I just hope that one day in the future, you will let them go. ”

As soon as the words fell, Chu Yujia left the tea house......
