Chapter 1557 Reshuffle in Liang City (3)
In regards to General Chi's softheartedness and kindness, it was indeed hard to judge whether it was wrong or not. As a child, he wanted to be filial to his parents and his relatives. As a husband, he wanted to be responsible. As a parent, he wanted to be a good example and raised his children well.
And as a general, he wanted to fulfill his duty well and become a powerful and responsible person.
But is it possible to fulfill everything well?
Sometimes, it might be possible.
But not for General Chi.
In this warring era, he was faced with difficult decisions. Because of a failure in the war, his destiny was changed rapidly to the point that it was difficult for him to even maintain his original personality.
He had to make a decision that affected the fate of everyone around him, which caused the previously harmonious family to be broken.
If he was not born in this era, he might be able to have a good and loving family.
Even if the wife and husband were not exactly loving each other, at the very least, they would be polite on the surface. The family would be complete and the two children didn't have to hate each other so much.
But everything was only a big if.
There was no possibility of it to truly happen in the real world.
Everything has happened and there was nothing they could do to change the past that has already unfolded in front of them.
Even if it was painful and all, it was the truth they had to face.
Emperor Yang Zhou appreciated a person like General Chi, but it was unfortunate that a person like this was born in such a family. In Chi Family, he was treated as nothing more than a tool for them to land their foundation and to become prosperous in the future. In Jian Family, he was nothing more than a son in law that was used for them to earn more money.
The two families never truly cared for General Chi as a person but rather what they wanted was nothing more than the value he could have.
It was very miserable.
If only he was born in a better family, he would not have been treated so poorly after a failure.
Their tradition prioritized filial piety but not to make the talented to become foolish and blinded like an idiot.
By now, the Chi Family had already laid their foundation. Many properties were split between various people in Chi Family and not a single one of them cared for General Chi. This general retired and it was estimated that the wealth he could enjoy was not even a tenth of what he actually earned in his life.
It was miserable.
But who could one blame for their own stupidity for not being able to see people's heart for who they were?
Raising a lot of white eyed wolves...
*sigh*
Emperor Yang Zhou could only hope that the Heaven has eyes and will be able to let General Chi be repaid for what he had done in his life. Even if he had made a lot of mistakes and had failed to see the true nature of many people, he's still a good person.
