Chapter 354: The Epilogue (Part II)
Chu Yujia's grandfather is the founder, Chu Qianwen is the founder, and Chu Yujia is the practitioner.
Chu Qianwen established the Northwest Army system, and Chu Yujia carried forward the Northwest Army system and expanded the territory for the Ye State.
Starting from Chu Yujia's grandfather, to Chu Qianwen, and then to Chu Yujia, the three generations of the Chu family have been generals, and they have made great achievements for the establishment of the Xingye Empire, and the stories about them have also been widely spread in later generations.
In the twentieth year of Zhengyang, Chu Yujia was forty years old, and Zhao Kuan was forty-two years old......
After more than ten years of fighting on the battlefield, Zhao Kuan gave Chu Yujia supreme rights and status, as well as endless wealth.
He also gave back to Zhao Kuan a world, a Southern Tang that had been beaten by him, and only needed Zhao Kuan's slightest force to calm down.
Now it's also his turn to say goodbye to his hometown and find the life he wants.
That night, he came to the palace alone and found Zhao Kuan.
The two met at the age of five, and now thirty-five years have passed, and the relationship between the two is not relatives but relatives.
"You're here?"
In the study, Zhao Kuan saw his old friend enter the palace, put down the book, and said with a smile: "Come here so late, but you want to drink with Xiao Kuanzi?"
"Exactly. ”
Chu Yujia smiled heartily, although his face was already full of wind and frost, but it was difficult to stop the posture of the handsome young man back then.
Chu Yujia casually put the wine jug on the ground, sat on the ground himself, and said, "I'm not here to find the king today, but to find Xiao Kuanzi, I wonder if Xiao Kuanzi is willing to have a good drink with me?"
Hearing this, Zhao Kuan was obviously stunned, then sighed, walked out from behind the bookcase, and said, "Since Yu Jia wants to drink with Xiao Kuanzi, how can Xiao Kuanzi refuse Yu Jia?"
So, the pair of monarchs and ministers sat on the ground in the study room of the Ye Palace, with no wine and food, only two pots of sake and a bright moon.
The two reminisced about the past, recalled their past, and recalled the age when they were in the world.
When the two met for the first time, they were just children, and more than 30 years have passed in a blink of an eye, and both of them have gone from children to handsome sons, to starting a family, and now to their 40s.
Chu Yujia couldn't help but sigh: "Little Kuanzi, you also know that the current life is not what I want, for so many years, I have also endured it in one breath, gritted my teeth and endured it, and the reason why I have been able to come over these years is only because I want to prove to the world that although our Ye country is located in the northwest, it can still complete the hegemony of dominating the world." ”
"Now that Ye is already a behemoth, my Ye country is strong and strong, and the royal court is full of talents, so I can be regarded as worthy of this country and Xiao Kuanzi. ”
"And now, it's time for me to leave and live the life I really want. ”
Listening to Chu Yujia's words, Zhao Kuan looked up, his lips trembled slightly: "But Xiao Kuanzi is reluctant to Yujia......"
"I can't bear to ...... Kokuanko"
"But in this world, there can be no Chu Yujia, let alone the Northwest Army, there can only be one army, and the name of this army can only be called Ye Army. ”
Chu Yujia raised his hand and took a sip of wine, and sighed: "Yu Jia doesn't leave, the world is uneasy, Yu Jia doesn't leave, the world will always feel that there is a wicked person by King Ye's side, so Yu Jia can't stay by King Ye's side, but Yu Jia will never forget, Yu Jia has a good brother named Xiao Kuanzi, who is in Yueling City, and Yu Jia will come back to visit if he has the opportunity." ”
In an instant, where did Zhao Kuan still have the dignity of a king, and he couldn't help crying loudly.
After decades of getting along day and night, as a monarch and a brother, Zhao Kuan is really reluctant to Chu Yujia.
"People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, and even more so in the court. ”
"I can finally let go of everything and go after what I want. ”
Chu Yujia bit his lip and said, "Good brother, you should also be happy for me." ”
A pot of sake was gone, and Chu Yujia also left the palace.
In the study, only Zhao Kuan, the king of Ye, was left standing alone in the palace.
If you are in hand today, look around, where is there a confidant......
Zhao Kuan also finally understood his father Zhao Yan's thoughts, and finally understood the meaning of the sentence 'What is the life of a lonely person?'.
In the twentieth year of Zhengyang, in the Mid-Autumn Festival, King Ye Zhao Kuan dismissed Chu Yujia from all official positions in the court, but the title was guaranteed six, and a fertile land in the south was rewarded to Chu Yujia.
After Chu Yujia left Yueling City, there was no news of this Northwest Chu Marquis in the world.
Later, Zhao Kuan restructured the Northwest Army, nationalized everything in the Northwest Army, and launched the last war against the Southern Tang Dynasty in the year he was fifty years old.
The last war of the Ye State against the Southern Tang Dynasty was the Civil War of the Ming Wu Empire, and it was also the War of Unification.
This war can be called the end of the troubled era, the most difficult battle in the early stage of the prosperous era, and the war finally turned from a contest of military strength between the two countries to a war of attrition between the two countries.
In the end, the Southern Tang Dynasty did not overwhelm the Ye State, which annexed nearly two-thirds of the land south of the Yangtze River in the Southern Tang Dynasty, forcing the Southern Tang to migrate thousands of miles to the southwest.
After this battle, the territory of Ye State was finally finalized, and as far as the map is concerned, Ye State has become a behemoth.
It is bounded by deserts in the west, oceans in the east, grasslands in the north, and South Seas in the south.
The territory of Ye is vast and the population is large, and the border neighbors are already frightened of Ye State, for fear that the Ye State will raise troops to crusade against them.
However, in later generations, Zhao Kuan was considered the founding emperor of the Xingye Empire, and Chu Yujia, as his chief minister, was also considered the first founding father of the Ye Empire.
And when Chu Yujia was in Yueling, no one dared to ask Ji Hao to give way, but after Chu Yujia left, I don't know how many people wanted Zhao Kuan to replace Ji Hao and Ye Guo to replace the Mingwu Empire, but Zhao Kuan did not agree.
Zhao Kuan did not claim the title of emperor in his life, and he always regarded himself as King Ye, and even after his death, he was still buried according to the etiquette system of King Ye.
Until Zhao Kuan's son succeeded to the throne, Ji Hao, who was already in his sixties, knew that the general trend had gone, wrote an edict of abdication, and gave the position of the Son of Heaven to Zhao Kuan's son Zhao Chu.
At this point, the Mingwu Empire was completely destroyed, and the Xingye Empire was established......
However, the two monarchs and ministers of Chu Yujia and Zhao Kuan, as well as the surging, brilliant and spectacular sixteen years at the end of the Ming Wu Empire, are an indelible legend.
Push back the clock......
In the twentieth year of Zhengyang, Chu Yujia's family left Yueling City and arrived in Nanma County in the south of Shu.
Once upon a time, this was the place where Qianshu bordered Western Chu, and it was also the place where Chu Yujia led an army of 3,000 to garrison.
And this place has now become Chu Yujia's fiefdom.
In the mansion, Chu Yujia sat in the courtyard, and beside him was his wife ** Limo, who had been with him for 20 years.
Behind Gong Limo was their son, kneading his mother's shoulders.
Chu Yao'er, the slim eldest girl who had grown up, walked out with a teapot and teacup, and after filling all the teacups in her parents' hands, she sat on the small stool beside her father and gently kneaded her father's legs.
Gong Limo glanced at Chu Yujia and said, "Are you really willing to be rich and prosperous?"
"What's the use of having this life, glory and wealth?"
"After a while, the world will be peaceful, let's go to the world to see how the people live and what the world will become after the peace. ”
Chu Yujia took a sip of tea, looked at his daughter, then at his wife, and said with a smile: "By the way, I will accompany you......"
"Save it. ”
Gong Limo rolled his eyes and said, "In the past twenty years, how many times have you said this, I'm afraid I can't remember it clearly......"
"This time it's a real ......"
"Because now, I'm really going to be idle......"
Chu Yujia gently rubbed her daughter's head and looked up at the sky with a smile......
Spring hair, autumn fall, origin and extinction......
He comes from spring, and he falls from autumn.
He came with his daughter, and he fell with him.
