Emperor Lord
"Big brother, when did you come back?"
On the long street, in the crowd, two brothers walk shoulder to shoulder!
"Just returned!" Chen Xuan looked at Chen Ye and said, "As soon as I got home, I heard that you had been missing for three days. I knew you went to Bei Wang Shan, so I was going to look for you."
Three days have passed already!
Pausing for a moment, Chen Xuan continued: "Xiao Yezi, big brother knows the bitterness in your heart, but things have already happened and we can't change them. Why must you cling to the past?"
"All these years, although big brother is not by your side, he knows how you've been living. Xiao Yezi, for your own sake, for the people at home, for Uncle and Auntie, you can't go on like this. You should know that the people at home are your greatest reliance; otherwise, why would I have gone to join the army?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ye's expression suddenly changed. Eldest brother going to join the army wasn't Grandfather and Uncle's idea, but rather his own desire to do something for himself!
In an instant, a warm current surged through his entire body.
Chen Family, starting from Chen Zhong, has three sons. The eldest son, Chen Shun, inherited the true legacy of Chen Zhong. Whether it's military strategy or conduct style, except for being slightly inferior to Chen Zhong, he is already the next Chen Zhong!
Chen Shun often led troops on the outside, taking over Chen Zhong's prestige, intimidating several neighboring countries, not daring to offend the Great Huahua Empire in the slightest!
The second son, Chen Lie, although he had never led troops in battle, was well-versed in astronomy and geography, and knew the hearts of men as if he could see into their very souls. This ability to grasp the minds of others made his enemies tremble with fear at the mere mention of his name.
There are even rumors circulating that if it weren't for Chen Lie's fear of stealing the spotlight from his older brother Chen Shun, after Chen Zhong, Dahua would be the world's number one general, and no one else but Chen Lie!
Chen Zhong's young son is Chen Ye's father, Chen Shi.
The third generation of the Chen family, from Chen Shun's eldest son Chen Xuan to Chen Ye, both men and women together, counted on their fingers, it can be said that they have already branched out.
But it's not just the second generation of the Chen family who are excellent, the third generation of the Chen family, except for Chen Ye who is still young, all the older brothers and sisters have a very strong reputation in the vast Imperial City.
Either in literature or martial arts, among the young generation of aristocratic families in the imperial capital, they are all at the forefront, making everyone sigh that the Chen family has a future, and the Chen family can continue to prosper for decades, even hundreds of years!
But it is precisely because of the so-called "Chen family has a future" that makes the current emperor even more wary!
Chen Zhong's personal prestige, looking at the entire Dahua dynasty, and even several surrounding countries, is unmatched. The Dahua royal family is wary of him, which is reasonable, but it's just wariness. If the Chen family had no descendants, Chen Zhong would not be able to live forever!
But the Chen family, generation after generation, are all excellent individuals. No matter who is in control of the Chen family's large ship, they can make it sail smoothly through the turbulent seas.
The Chen family has reached a point where the current imperial family is terrified, but what makes them even more fearful is that the three brothers of the second generation of the Chen family are not to be underestimated. Following Chen Zhong, they have been fighting for many years, and their fraternal bond is something that outsiders cannot interfere with.
The three generations of the Chen family, surprisingly, rarely appeared among brothers and sisters, in order to gain more resources, and situations where they competed with each other for power and profit.
This situation exists, but outsiders absolutely can't see it, so they won't know about it.
Chen Zhong gazed far and wide, knowing that the young masters of aristocratic families would all end up in similar situations. Therefore, after the imperial court had stabilized, he issued a strict order.
Descendants of the Chen family can compete with each other, as long as you think your strength is sufficient, go and fight for the position that should belong to you. But there is a bottom line, absolutely cannot be in the same room CAO GO, otherwise, no matter who, will be immediately removed from the Chen family!
Chen Zhong cannot guarantee that the Chen family will last for thousands of generations, but in his lifetime, he can avoid the tragedy of brothers killing each other.
A united Chen family, especially each and every member of this family is extremely excellent. How can the imperial family today, especially the emperor today, not be anxious, how can they not be worried!
Otherwise, the emperor would not have to be overly cautious with the Chen family, and it was not necessary. Before Chen Zhong's death, they were already secretly plotting against the Chen family.
Big Brother Chen Xuan, as the eldest of the three generations, is extremely caring and loving towards his brothers and sisters. Especially towards Chen Ye! However, he clearly remembers that it was Big Brother who had always been protecting his siblings in the past. In the tragic event that occurred in the Chen household, Big Brother's fate was also the most tragic one.
Fortunately, I have come back again today and cannot let big brother leave with regret!
Chen Ye knew even more now, because he had come back again, the trajectory of the past had changed. At least, his previous life hadn't obtained the small knife and hadn't entered the Jiaolong body at this time, so he wouldn't have gone to Beiwang Mountain at this time, and he wouldn't have met Zhangsun Fei when he came back. His big brother also wouldn't have appeared here, and then said such a passage to him.
This is just the beginning, and from now on, I will change more and more!
"Xiao Yezi, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought up your painful past, but big brother really can't bear to see you sinking into despair, and even more so, he can't bear the thought of you leaving this world with a lifetime of regret!"
"Big brother, I understand. Don't worry, I won't do this again in the future." Chen Ye said with a heavy heart, things he didn't understand in his past life, he now understood, and what he didn't cherish before, from now on, he would cherish doubly!
Chen Xuan nodded and smiled with relief: "I knew it, my Chen family's people will never be cowards. From your performance just now, I already know that you've changed, you're not the same person as in the past few years."
"Alright, let's not talk about these unhappy things. Just remember, no matter what happens in the future, I'll always stand firmly by your side to shield you from wind and rain!" Chen Xuan patted Chen Ye's shoulder heavily and said with a serious tone.
"Thank you, big brother!"
"Between brothers, what's with the thanks? Hurry up, people at home are getting anxious."
To the north of the imperial city, in a bustling area, stands a magnificent mansion. Above the entrance to the mansion is a signboard with three large characters written on it: "Chancellor's Mansion".
In the mansion, a grand and exquisite living room was in the lead, where an old man in Chinese tunic suit sat upright!
This old man has a rather prosperous physique, with a ruddy complexion and an air of grandeur about him. He appears to have been in high positions for many years, and there is not the slightest hint of decline or weakness. His constant smile makes it easy for people who meet him for the first time to feel a sense of goodwill towards him. However, the occasional flash of coldness in his eyes reveals that he is not as benevolent as he appears on the surface.
It was none other than the current Prime Minister, Zhangsun Wuji!
"That night, was it really said like that?"
"Yes, Master Xiang!"
At the end of the long grandson, a fierce middle-aged man hastily replied with respect.
"You dare to speak nonsense about my Eldest Grandson's family, you are simply being presumptuous!" The last few words that Chen Ye said to Zhang Sun today should have made Zhang Sun very angry, but from his expression, not a hint of anger could be seen.
Chang Sun exhaled a breath, and the smile in his eyes became even more intense: "In these few years, it seems we have neglected this young master."
"Yes, sir!"
"Well, how should I put it?" At this time, Chang Sunmo's gaze changed slightly.
The middle-aged man hastily said: "Master, before he uttered those arrogant words on the night of the fifth watch, his gaze had intentionally or unintentionally swept over the place where I was standing, as if he had discovered me..."
"This is impossible!" Zhang Sun Mou waved his hand and said, "A few years ago, Chen Ye's cultivation foundation was indeed destroyed. This point, even if Chen Zhong that old man wanted to hide it or fake it, he couldn't do it. And in these few years, although we didn't put that little kid under surveillance, if he had changed, we would still know about it. It can only be said that this little kid's nature has changed, and the rest is not worth worrying about."
"Zhang Sun Fei is really useless and was actually scared off by Chen Ye..."
"Grandfather, your words are not unreasonable, however, you have neglected one thing. Perhaps it's not that you neglected it, but rather, you haven't connected the events that occurred."
Suddenly, a mellow and wine-like voice floated in from outside the living room.
"Hehe, go ahead and say it."
The smile in Zhang Sun's eyes remained, but only those familiar with him could see it now. The current smile was the one that came from his heart.
"Grandfather, three nights ago, the Chen family suddenly took massive action. Not only was my eldest grandson's house attacked, but also several other families' scouts were killed by the Chen family. Even members of the imperial family were invited out, and those who couldn't be invited out were also killed..."
"With Old Master Wang's astuteness, he had long known that someone was monitoring the Chen family, but why didn't he take action earlier or later, and instead chose to do so at this particular time? The reason may be unknown to outsiders, but Grandfather, think about it, the unremarkable Chen Ye has suddenly changed into a different person, doesn't that seem strange? Could it be that there really isn't anything suspicious in between?"
The voice came, in the hall, Zhang Sunmo had been silent for a while. At one point, he burst out laughing: "That Old Man Chen always boasted that his family was prosperous and his children were all excellent. Humph, what's so great about that? I, Zhang Sunmo... only unfortunately..."
Chang Sun Mo looked afar and heard the gentle voice coming from a distance, his voice slightly condensed as he said: "Why is it that from your mouth, I hear respect for Old Man Chen?"
"Chen Jia, although he is an enemy of our Chen family, but Old Master Wang deserves the respect of everyone in the Great Hua Empire!"
The wine and laughter faded away, leaving only the living room where Zhangsun Wuji's eyebrows were furrowed even tighter!
