Chapter 2106 Reminiscing (Added)
Now that the official business is over, it's time to reminisce about the past.
At this moment, he was not the Emperor Jiuyou, but He Yue's brother.
Familiar smile, familiar movements.
As soon as his movements and attitude changed, He Yue's eyes turned slightly red:
"Brother, I! Mother and I miss you very much."
The brothers haven’t seen each other for five or six years!
"You brought Naluotian's jade ring here. Do you know about the past?"
Narakuten's magic on the jade ring took away the mark planted in He Lingchuan's sea of consciousness. He Yue stood aside and watched, without showing any surprise on his face.
Besides, before he went abroad, He Chunhua must confess the fact that He Lingchuan was still alive.
This matter cannot be made over by just lying.
Sure enough, He Yue nodded vigorously: "Father has confessed!"
He forgot to call out "Father" again: "My mother and I were both shocked on the spot. My mother lost her composure and scolded my father."
"Brother, over the years, I never thought that father would have such intentions towards you! I..." His chest rose and fell twice before he swallowed his breath, "We never thought that he would use you to make a deal with the gods."
In fact, he already knew what kind of person his father was, but this secret still opened his eyes once again.
But what could he do after knowing it? No matter how much he despised his father's actions, his father was still his father.
From father to son, the moral principles remain unchanged.
What's more, He Yue also enjoyed the benefits of the transaction between He Chunhua and Narakutian. He has been on the rise over the years and now has ascended to the position of crown prince.
My brother suffered, but I was the one who benefited.
He Yue's inner emotions were so complicated that he couldn't even express them in words.
He Lingchuan could understand, and patted his shoulder again: "It's okay, it won't affect the relationship between us brothers."
Whether the original body resented or forgave He Chunhua, that was the original body's business and had nothing to do with him.
In his eyes, He Chunhua is a tyrant who will do anything to achieve his goals.
In troubled times, how can such people be simply judged by good or bad, right or wrong?
He Yue nodded vigorously.
He had been tempered on the battlefield and in the officialdom for the past few years, and his mentality had actually become quite stable. But after five or six years, he could not help but feel agitated and unable to control himself when he saw his "resurrected" brother again.
He Lingchuan looked at him with a smile. He Yue's feelings for him were sincere, and even though he was not his original self, he still felt warm because of this family affection.
He Chunhua knew his second son too well, and had already expected that he would lose his composure when facing He Lingchuan. But it was this kind of true expression that could move the Nine Nether Emperor.
Emperor Jiuyou is nostalgic, so he will be more gentle towards the State of Shen, and future cooperation will be more sincere and smoother.
He Chunhua is a shrewd person who really calculates every detail.
However, He Lingchuan would not mention these to He Yue. He just pointed to the stone house and said to his brother: "Wash your face and come in for some tea!"
After saying that, he glanced at Dong Rui, who knew what to do and quietly slipped away with a chuckle.
The two brothers then had a private chat, so it was not convenient for him to get involved.
He Yue squatted down and scooped up a handful of water to wash his face.
"Is this the holy spring that the Ya people cherish?"
There doesn't seem to be anything special about it, except that the spring water is cool and refreshing and has a faint sweetness.
"Yes, according to legend, the ancestors of the Kelin people were chased by the enemy and had no way to escape, so they hid in Baiqiuyuan and jumped into the hole of this white stone to hide." He Lingchuan pointed to the stone lying in the lake, "The water level was very high at that time, and the enemy left without wading into the pond to check. The ancestors of the Kelin people escaped the disaster and settled down in Baiqiuyuan, and have multiplied from generation to generation."
"Later, the Kelin tribe grew stronger and gradually became the main tribe of the Ya Kingdom. They also moved to the royal city to live, and this place was revered by them as the holy place of origin. Over the past few decades, the King of Ya would come here every spring and autumn to bathe and fast for three days, and then offer sacrifices to his ancestors and pray for good luck."
He Yue looked at the stone cottage and was a little surprised: "So this is for King Ya to live in?"
"That's right. King Ya lives here the same way their ancestors lived here. There is no luxury in the holy land."
The furnishings in the room were simple, with only a stone bed and a table and chairs.
He Lingchuan had already drawn a jar of clear spring water from the pond and casually took out the tea set to make tea.
The snacks were just the jujube paste sent by Mrs. Ying, as well as the fried rice cakes and dried venison that He Lingchuan took out.
This rice cake is made by frying rice and grinding it into powder, then adding brown sugar, sesame seeds and peanuts and baking it until it is shaped. When marching, soak it in hot water and it will become a bowl of filling rice paste.
But now it is a big pancake, and the two brothers break it into pieces to eat.
The venison was dry and hard, and could only be chewed in strips.
"There's nothing good to eat when you're on the march. I'll treat you to a big meal after we win the battle."
Both brothers laughed.
He Yue recalled that his brother used to be obsessed with delicious food at home, but now he can eat hard dried venison with just water. Alas!
Since when did his brother change so much? He couldn't remember.
During the war, no alcohol was allowed, so the two brothers could only drink tea instead of alcohol. He Yue asked about his brother's experience after leaving Yuan Kingdom.
He Lingchuan briefly mentioned what he could say, which was enough to make He Yue amazed and sigh:
"What a pity! It would be great if I could stay with Big Brother and experience everything from beginning to end!"
But he thought again, wasn't he walking along the same route his brother had taken when he came here from Baisha Bay?
Along the way, people sang songs about their brother's great achievements and legacy everywhere.
Along the way, my brother's connections are everywhere.
The sky is high and the road is long, and it is so difficult for him to just take the journey; when his brother went to sea, he fought all the way!
Before he left the State of Shen, he did not realize that the gap between him, his father, and his brother was as huge as the chasm between heaven and earth.
"You followed King Shen to fight and ascend the throne. Isn't that a rare experience in this world?" He Lingchuan changed the subject. "Come, tell me how you abolished Yuan and established Shen."
When he mentioned He Chunhua, he only said "King Shen". He Yue understood it and immediately told him about the process of He Chunhua defeating the Grand Marshal and changing the dynasty. He also briefly described the situation of the State of Shen in the more than one year since its establishment.
"Good." He Lingchuan clapped his hands. "Prince Shen may not be a good father, but in terms of governing, he is many times better than Grand Marshal Dong Haoming and his ilk. The people of Shen will at least be able to live a good life for a few years."
In the past, the Yuan Kingdom was plagued by endless wars, order collapsed, and civilians suffered.
When He Chunhua ascended the throne, he must have rested and worked hard to govern the country in the early stage. This person is very capable, and as long as he wants to work hard, he will definitely achieve results.
He also caught up with the right time. The Emperor's Flowing Slurry has erupted frequently in recent years, helping the country recover. If He Chunhua hadn't seized this good opportunity, he would never have been able to leave Blackwater City and rise all the way.
"Lingxu City already knows my origins." He Lingchuan asked, "Has Beijia ever put pressure on Shen Kingdom?"
