Chen An nodded and continued, "Young master, your grandfather is the youngest son of the late emperor, and his name is Bian. When the Sui army captured the city of Health, he was less than two years old. My grandfather was the leader of the imperial guards in the palace at that time, and my grandfather and other imperial guards in the palace who were loyal to the late emperor, got the instructions of your mother's concubine... My grandfather and your mother's concubine were our family... They escorted your young father, escaped from the city of Health, came to Hangzhou and Yuezhou, lived in seclusion, and then planned things..."
After listening to Chen An's story, Chen Yi finally realized that it turned out that Chen Shubao, the youngest son of Chen Houzhu, who had just been named King Ning, was his grandfather Chen Bian. Under the escort of Chen An's grandfather and dozens of other loyal generals, he fled to Hangzhou and Yuezhou, and lived in seclusion under the name of Chen Bian. He raised Chen Bian, married and had children.
Since Chen was destroyed by the Sui Dynasty and moved to the Jiangnan area, these descendants of the Chen Kingdom gradually settled down under the protection of Chen An's grandfather and other subordinates, who were loyal to the victim, and waited for an opportunity to raise an army to restore the country.
It was just because their power was too weak, and the Sui Empire was very powerful that day, they had to temporarily stop the idea of restoring the country and lived in seclusion in Hangzhou and Yuezhou. The imperial guards guarding Chen Bian also married and had children, and changed everyone's surnames to "Chen" to commemorate the "Chen State" that had fallen, and continued to protect Chen Bian. When the heroes were uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Chen An's grandfather Chen Hua was also prepared to follow the uprising, but Chen Bian, who was cowardly by nature, was unwilling to rebel. Later, under the encouragement of the people around him, he finally reluctantly agreed. But their power was soon annexed by the Jiangnan rebel army led by Li Zitong, and Chen Bian was also injured during the battle. His subordinates took the opportunity to protect Chen Bian and escape from Li Zitong's camp and fled to Yuezhou to reside in seclusion.
Almost in the first year of Zhenguan, Chen Bian unfortunately died of illness due to recurrence of injury and illness. Chen Bian's wife Zhang later fell ill. In the same year, Chen An's grandfather Chen Hua also died of illness. In addition, many backbone forces were damaged during the uprising. Chen An's father Chen, who succeeded Chen Hua, felt that there was no hope of restoring the country and continued to lie dormant. However, he still took good care of Chen Bian's son, Chen Yi's father Chen Fu.
For many reasons, Chen Bian did not give birth to his son Chen Fu until he was in his thirties. When Chen Bian passed away, his son Chen Fu was only two years old. Chen Fu has always been weak and sickly, and he is also docile when he grows up, which is not a reason to succeed.
Chen Fu, who has always been a playboy, only knows how to spend the rest of the world all day, is even more unimprovement than his father Chen Bian. He never thought about the great cause of restoring the country, and advised Chen An's father Chen Ze to stop this idea. The final result of the two discussed that Chen Fu "persuaded" Chen Ze, who was stubborn, gave up the idea of restoring the country and lived a good life. He would find ways to go out and do some achievements to make his ancestors famous. However, Chen Ze did not give up and continued to prepare for major tasks, while Chen Fu continued to spend the rest of the world...
Chen Ze made sufficient preparations for this, strictly managed his subordinates, spread them out, and accumulated family backgrounds in various places. Through Chen Ze's management, the descendants of Chen State gained a foothold in Yuezhou, Hangzhou, Wuzhou and Suzhou, and accumulated a lot of wealth through business, increasing land and other livelihoods, and they had a strong economic foundation.
However, Chen Fu had no ambitions. Chen Ze encouraged him several times without any action plan. He was not lucky. His wife died of several sons, and only Chen Yi, who was born in the end, was raised. Just when Chen Yi was underage, four years ago, Chen Fu and his wife both died of illness, leaving only Chen Yi alone.
What Chen An didn't say is that Chen Yi, who had a similar personality to his grandfather and father, was a playboy, and never thought about planning a big thing!
"So that's how it is..." Chen Yi sighed after hearing what Chen An said. This life experience is really complicated.
However, Chen Yi was also very worried that his father had joined the rebel army at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but in the end it seemed that he was suppressed by Li Tang. If Li Zhi or Wu Zetian knew about it, would he be suspicious?
How should he explain his identity to Li Zhi and Wu Zetian? This is a very troublesome issue.
Even if there is no need to explain to Wu Zetian now, Sun Simiao must make it clear, how should he tell Sun Simiao all this? What will Sun Simiao react after hearing this? Will Sun Simiao still dare to let him follow him?
"Young master, is the jade on your body still there?" Chen An asked carefully when he saw Chen Yi's thoughtful look.
Chen Yi took out the jade from his arms and asked in confusion: "Uncle An, what is this jade?"
This is a magical piece of jade. It was almost this piece of jade that led Chen Yi to the Tang Dynasty. He wanted to know what kind of jade it was.
Since Chen An was the son of the general in charge and served in the imperial guards at that time, he knew these things the most clearly.
Chen An sighed relieved when he saw that the jade on Chen Yi was still there, but then shook his head: "Young master, I will tell you about this jade again in the future. Now is not the time... But you have to keep this jade well and must not be lost... This is a token!"
"Uncle An, why is this?" Chen Yi was puzzled.
"You will know in the future!" Chen An hesitated but still did not answer.
"Okay!" Chen Yi stopped asking. What he knew today was enough to make him think about it for a while. He had to go back and think about it and figure out how to deal with this new situation. This is the top priority.
"Young master, you are in good health now. I still want to know what your plans are next..."
"What are the plans?" Chen Yi lowered his head and thought for a moment, shook his head, "Uncle An, I just learned so many things. I have to think about it carefully before I can tell you what plans are, but please rest assured, I will definitely not be as mediocre as my grandfather and father!"
"Okay!" Chen An was obviously relieved, and a smile appeared on his face. While he was happy for Chen Yi's change, he said with some concern: "It's just a young master. You must be very cautious in doing things in the future. Otherwise, I will visit the descendants of Duke Jiang first..."
"Uncle An, don't worry about this. The descendants of Duke Jiang have no influence anymore. I now know some people who are more influential than them. They can help me. Don't worry about anything. Just follow my instructions and act. I can't remember many things. In the next few days, you will tell me all the things carefully for a while. I want to know more!" Chen Yi, from Chen An's expression and tone of speaking, of course, knew that Chen An had many things he hadn't told him, but these things were what he wanted to know.
Chen An looked at Chen Yi in surprise, as if he didn't know him. After a while, he responded: "Yes, young master! In the days I will go to the young master to tell you everything about the house..."
Chen Yi stood up and said to Chen An: "Uncle Zhong, I have to leave first and I have to go back. Master Sun's disciple is alone in the inn. I'm not relieved. Also, I may have very important things to do. I will come here again tomorrow or the next day when I have time to talk to you about it!"
"Okay then!" Chen An also stood up and bowed to Chen Yishi, "I'm going to order Chen Hong to bring you a few people..."
"No need, I can just go there alone!" Chen Yi shook his head and refused.
"No, young master! You can't let Chen Hong bring you someone to see you off, but you must bring Chen Ming, Chen Liang and Pin'er with you, so that they can take care of your daily life and prevent any accidents... This is what you just agreed to by young master!" Chen An spoke very firmly.
