Chapter 158: Fifty Years of Time
The old city gate has a new color on it.
Sucheng stood outside the gate of Yingcheng, looking at the ancient city tower and the thick city gate, I couldn't tell what it felt. This place was obviously my home, and more than fifty years were enough to wash away my understanding of a place. It was like Sucheng. When he entered Yingcheng, he could clearly distinguish between east, west, south and north, and know the location of the palace and the original location of his home, and now he looked at everything in the city, and was extremely unfamiliar.
The original face disappeared.
The original teahouse disappeared.
The original street is gone.
When Su Cheng walked on such a street, he felt indescribable.
"Laby, let us two part here."
Fahai walked into Yingcheng, said goodbye to Sucheng decisively, and prepared to go to the palace.
"Please."
Sucheng was indifferent.
He didn't know where Fahai heard the news, and thought that the palace was full of water snake waists. Anyway, as for Su Cheng, the King of Chu was so thin that he starved to death in the palace. This palace was talking about the ministers.
Because the King of Chu likes thin waists, the ministers lose weight one after another and only eat one meal a day.
Therefore, this thin waist is actually a man's waist.
Did Fahai, who was looking for White Snake in a man's water snake waist, do something wrong?
Sucheng doesn't pay much attention to it.
But it’s not clear. After all, the ministers have already lost weight, and the concubines in the palace must also be rolled up, so their waists may be thinner, and they may be rolled to death.
Before he knew it, Su Cheng found his original place. The house now is no longer the house he used to be. There are three new buildings here. When Su Cheng stood here, someone came out of the house. Seeing Su Cheng in front of him, he came forward to greet him.
Su Cheng talked to this person for a few words and knew that his name was Mo Yi, and his father moved here.
"The land atmosphere of our house is very powerful."
Mo Yi heard Su Cheng asking about his house and said with a smile: "You may not know that the person who lived here was the Grand Sima of the current dynasty. He heard that his son married the third princess, so the house was no longer in it. At that time, the Prime Minister was Prime Minister Sun and had been taking care of the house here. However, later the Prime Minister lost power and the King sold everything about the Prime Minister, including this house."
"My father was selling meat in the city back then. He gritted his teeth and took out all his belongings. He bought a real estate property here. After a few years, he took out the house."
Speaking of his father's affairs, Mo Yi looked full of pride.
When Su Cheng heard Mo Yi's words, he knew that his house was sold by the government. He nodded, hesitated and asked, "How did Prime Minister Sun do later?"
Prime Minister Sun is Sun Tong and a friend of Su Cheng.
However, when he was newly married, Su Cheng went to give gifts, and then got entangled by the affairs of the Styx. After that, Su Cheng went to Luoyi.
"have no idea."
Mo Yi shook his head and said, "Most of us promoted to fight against the officials are unaware of those matters, but I heard that his wife is also a princess, so the king did not punish him severely, but just locked him up. Later, he heard that they ran away, so we didn't know the specific matter."
“…”
Su Cheng sat inside the teahouse and looked at the willow stream outside.
Opposite to Sucheng, there was an old man with his surname Sun and his name was Yizheng. He was fifty-two years old this year, but he looked very old. He looked at Sucheng, his hands trembled, and he barely held the tea bowl in front of him.
"Uncle Su."
Sun Zheng shouted to Su Cheng.
He is Sun Tong's son.
"I have heard my dad talk about you since I was a child."
Sun Zheng wiped his eyes, looked at Su Cheng, and said, "He said that you and my aunt are not ordinary people. I really didn't expect that when my teeth were all gone, I would be able to see you."
Su Cheng judged Sun Zheng in front of him. From the corners of his eyes and nose, Su Cheng could see the shadows of Sun Tong and Miaoyin, but looking at Sun Zheng's old face made Su Cheng sigh.
Time is really cold, and everything has changed in fifty years. My old friends have passed away. The prosperous Chu State is now beginning to decline.
"I have been practicing for the past fifty years and cannot escape."
Su Cheng sighed and said to Sun Zheng: "Tell me the story of your father."
When Sun Zheng thought of his father's affairs, his eyes became energetic and said to Su Cheng: "When I remember, my father had already become the prime minister of Chu. My mother was the princess of Chu. The playmate with me was the king of Chu..."
After the fall of the original Prime Minister Zhao's family, King Zhuang of Chu relied heavily on his grandson's family. After two or three years, King Zhuang of Chu died of illness. At that time, Miaoyin and Empress Baode both gave birth to children, among which Empress Baode gave birth to twins.
In this case, Sun Tong took over the prime minister's power and assisted the young king, almost controlling everything in the State of Chu.
In the battles between the south and the north, there were few defeats.
But later, the king grew older and began to think about seizing power...
"I really didn't expect that my friend who has been playing with me since childhood would attack my father."
Sun Zheng said sadly: "He summoned my father to the palace to drink. My father was not prepared for any reason. Who knew that the wine was poisonous, so that that night, my father died suddenly... Fortunately, my father carried the sign you gave him, which made him wake up again."
Su Cheng nodded and understood that this was Sun Tong's death disaster, and it was also determined by Fairy Cihang early.
"The next day, my father handed over the position of prime minister and no longer cared about Chu's affairs. Not long after, Wu came to fight..."
In Sun Zheng's mouth, Su Cheng's lack of more than 50 years was made up for.
Now is not the time for Chu State to dominate the country. In the years when Sun Zheng said that when the king was in power, Jin and Chu State divided the hegemony equally. Later, the king died. The current King of Chu strangled his nephew to usurp the throne and took charge of power. He failed to use foreign troops several times, and now the people's hearts are disintegrated.
"My mother lived to be sixty-nine."
Sun Zheng said: "When she passed away, my father was always by her side and arranged all the funeral matters. The rules of Chu State, my father could not go to see my mother. That day we went out to see my mother for the last time. When we got home, my father was gone."
"Now they are both buried in Nanshan."
After hearing Sun Zheng's words, Su Cheng was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that his old friend died of love.
The two of them walked with each other, and forty or fifty years, Su Cheng didn't know how many feelings they would have in it. After all, he and Miaoshan have been separated for so many years.
"Do you have any wishes?"
Su Cheng asked Sun Zhengdao.
"I'm at my age, what other wishes can I have?"
Sun Zheng fiddled with the tea bowl and said, "It's just that the family is safe and the descendants of the younger generation can be healthy."
Su Cheng nodded and said, "It's easy to deal with. You should have a portrait of your aunt at home. Hang this portrait up and a stick of incense stick every day will naturally be realized."
