In the entire Deep Blue Empire, the royal family has always taken the country as the surname, and the Lan surname as the national surname, which is the most noble, and all subjects of the empire are not allowed to use this surname in order to avoid it. In the territory of the country, ordinary people call the royal family and dignitaries in the capital, in order to show their status, they all call their names directly, rarely call their surnames, and some people almost forget their surnames.

Yufeng and his uncle's surname is Lan, and Hope's father also hides his real surname Kang because he used to be an official in the capital.

Qingtao's original surname is Wu, because he usurped the position of the emperor of Canghai and became the emperor of the entire Deep Blue Country, so he also took the country as his surname. In order to avoid secrecy, outsiders are not allowed to call him by his surname, and they can only call Qingtao by name and add the word emperor on weekdays.

Inside the capital, outside the royal chamber, the sky was exceptionally blue. At this moment, the Jiudou envoy was still on his way home, and Qingtao's son Batian was guarding outside the gate of the royal court. Why did you let this prince guard the door, it turned out that on the one hand, Qingtao was in order to train him, and on the other hand, because Qingtao had already seized the throne today, he was most afraid of losing the things he robbed, and it was naturally more reassuring to hand over the matter to his own son. On the throne, Qingtao took a nap and slept for a while. Suddenly, he saw the figure of Canghai appear in front of him, his body instantly went limp, and he said tremblingly: "Don't come here, we were also best friends at the beginning, if you hadn't taken away my beloved Xiaoya, it would have made me even more uncomfortable when I had nothing, otherwise I wouldn't have been in obscurity for a few years, and finally got everything back from your hands." I know you hate me, but you can't blame me, it's not my fault, if you want to blame, blame you for being too ruthless back then, don't remember your brother before, tell me what is the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, yes, now that I am the emperor, you can be reincarnated below, don't come to me!"

"Ah, get out of my way, don't kill me。。。。。。。 Qingtao struggled desperately, and woke up suddenly, it turned out to be a nightmare.

"Someone, escort...... Father, are you alright, I'm scared to death. The crown prince overlord heard the movement just now, and didn't bother to report it, and hurriedly pushed the door in with the guards.

"My father is fine, but I am riddled with nightmares, I dreamed that the sea came to me for revenge, but it scared me out of sweat!" Qingtao's hands trembled, took the sweat towel handed by his subordinates, and quickly wiped the sweat beads that kept seeping down his face.

"Everyone else go out, the prince stays. Qing Tao commanded to everyone present, and also held the sweat towel tightly in his hand.

"Yes!" and all the people in the temple answered, and they all withdrew.

"Father, do you have anything to command?" asked the crown prince with a suspicious expression.

Qingtao sat sideways on the dragon chair and said to the prince standing beside him in a fatherly tone: "I am depressed for my father, I want to talk to you, talk about why my father has nightmares, and the grievances and grievances between me and Canghai, you were once young, and you didn't understand these things." Then you will hear what your Father has to say, and you can help me to see if what I say and do is right. ”

The crown prince listened with trepidation, but he didn't dare to refute it easily. After thinking for a while, he replied softly: "Father, you say, son-in-law listen!"

Qing Tao glanced at the palace with a smile, and then looked at the prince, "Your father and I followed the Canghai South to fight in the Northern War when I was young, and I had outstanding achievements, and most of the land in the entire deep blue was fought by the sea, and I have no complaints." It's a pity that he fell in love with my beloved woman, I don't want it, but my beloved woman, how can you let me go? Just because he is the emperor, can I snatch love with a knife? Later, since I lost Xiaoya, I felt that I had nothing, so I simply didn't do anything and took his world over. For that day eighteen years ago, I waited for many years to accumulate enough strength to start an incident and capture and kill the Canghai clan in one fell swoop. It is precisely because of this incident that people all over the world hate me in their hearts and curse me behind my back for many years. What are the clichés of 'chaotic ministers and thieves', 'usurpation and traitors', and 'killing the king and betraying his kindness', my ears are calloused. Emperor, you have a heart for your father, do you think I am such an unbearable person in their eyes?"

The crown prince was suddenly stopped by this tricky question, and he was speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to say. In a panic, he said casually: "It's all old courtiers who are too loyal to the previous dynasty, and some complaints are understandable, don't worry about it, monarch." ”

Qingtao felt a lot relieved when he heard the prince say this, and then said: "At the beginning, your father and I were also temperamental, but unfortunately I was a poor dick in the world's mouth, not only did I have nothing, but I couldn't even keep my beloved woman, which was really embarrassing." If it weren't for her, who would want to change from a dragon-slaying boy to an evil dragon and gradually fall into hell?"

Batian was even more confused, and said, "What's wrong with you, why are you sighing?"

"Her name is Xiaoya, she is my cousin, and I am also a childhood sweetheart, I thought I had the opportunity to stay with her for a lifetime, who knows, she fell in love with my most trusted friend, that is, the former emperor Canghai. When I was young, I fought side by side with Canghai, and although the two of us were masters and servants, they were close comrades-in-arms. For a while, I have been the most effective bodyguard by Canghai's side, and I have always been loyal to him. I can not have such a good background and qualifications as him, and I can also do without this blue and deep great rivers and mountains, but I don't know that I can't do without Xiaoya, there is no woman in this world who can compare with her, her light posture, her pure smile once made me fall into it, and I can't extricate myself.

"Maybe it's because beauties love heroes, Canghai's popularity and reputation in the deep blue are very good, Xiaoya and he met in a chance encounter. Seeing them fall in love, and then watching her marry into the palace of this royal court, while I, as a small guard, could only watch everything happen, but I was powerless to stop it. For countless days and nights, I guarded them, but what came to my mind was the charming posture of my beloved woman sleeping in someone else's arms, and the person who disgusted me was actually the emperor I had been loyal to. ”

"I hate, I hate that I don't have the same status as him, I don't have the prestige as him, and I don't have the power like him, so I can't even keep the person I love. Since the moment my cousin entered the royal court and became the queen of the whole deep blue, the seeds of hatred have been planted in my heart, I hate all kinds of injustices in this world, I hate the loss of what I love, I hate the people of the world. From that day on, a heart of revenge drove me, I began to cultivate my strength in Deep Blue, and finally I had the first army at my disposal, and they were only under my orders, but I was still a little jealous of him in my heart, and my love for my cousin had not completely faded, so I remained still. Until one day, the news that my cousin was about to give birth to a prince came from the royal court, and I finally couldn't sit still, and all the hatred poured into my heart at once, and I finally couldn't help but explode. After speaking, Qingtao fell into deep thought, and suddenly his memory was pulled back to eighteen years ago.

The prince listened to what Qingtao said, and his heart was as bright as a mirror. He thought to himself, this is like his father described by those people outside, outsiders use the most vicious language to attack his family, but the fact that came out of his father's mouth made him see a man with affection and righteousness, love and hatred, and he even had some doubts that he should believe in his father or the people of the world.

"I remember the day I sent my troops to attack the royal court, there was a vision in the sky, and Canghai unfortunately died in a fire, and the body was burned to the point that it was difficult to distinguish. When my men arrived at the harem, they couldn't find the child, and my cousin had already committed suicide, leaving only a letter. The letter was full of disappointment and accusations against me, and at the end she begged me to forgive her for choosing the sea over me, and she begged me not to kill her children. At the end, I burst into tears, it was my selfishness that killed my cousin. I haven't sent anyone to hunt down the child who ran away and disappeared all these years, all because of my cousin's entrustment to me, and I can't bear to do anything sorry for her anymore. A few years ago, someone wanted to rebel against me under the banner of that outcast, but I sent someone to resolutely suppress it, and specially instructed the generals who went out to fight to capture that kid when they saw him. Later, when it was verified, it was really fake, so I ordered to kill it, and the whole world scolded me for being ruthless, but I never really made up my mind to my cousin. Emperor, do you think you are doing the right thing for your father?"

"Father, I am afraid that you have done something wrong in this matter, from the moment you decide to seize the throne of the emperor, you have no way out. Especially in the treatment of that child, you should send someone to chase and kill it with all your might, and if you don't eradicate the roots, you will leave trouble. A few days ago, I received a secret report from the Eagle Feather Guard, that the child you didn't send someone to hunt down and kill at the beginning, he has returned, and he is coming to conquer you under the banner of recovering the country. In fact, the rebellion of Baili and Sanchuan is inseparable from the kid named Yufeng, he is the so-called prince of the former dynasty who disappeared and wandered among the people, and it is he who is currently entangled with hundreds of thousands of dragon camps and the previous thief army to confront us, if he really recovers, wouldn't our father and son not be in danger of their lives. If you think about it, will you still be able to sit on the throne of the emperor by then? I'm afraid we're all going to die in the streets. ”

"Presumptuous, who taught you to speak like that. After hearing the prince's words, Qingtao suddenly became angry, suddenly spit out a mouthful of dark blood, lost consciousness, and fainted.

The prince was instantly stunned and stupid, and hurriedly took out the sweat towel from Qingtao's hand, and stepped forward to wipe the blood stains on his lips. Then, he shouted to the people outside: Come on, the monarch has vomited blood, quickly send the medical officer to help the driver!

The people outside realized that the situation was different, and hurriedly transferred a person and went to the medical officer. Three more people came in outside for the first time, and at the direction of the prince, they carried Qingtao to the bed in the harem.

Hurry up, the medical officer came, first to check the pulse, and then to look at the tongue coating. After being busy for a while, he gave the diagnosis and replied: "Your Highness, according to the diagnosis of your subordinates, the emperor is in a hurry, and it is good to be pranayama." Don't irritate him with any more troubles, otherwise, he may be in danger of his life and will not be able to heal for a while. ”

After hearing this, the prince nodded again and again, and said, "Mr. Hardship, what you just said, Batian remembers." You go down first, and when you go back, give the emperor some pranayama medicine, and I will send someone to fetch it. ”

When the medical officer heard him, he bowed and quietly withdrew.

After drinking left and right, looking at Qingtao who was unconscious on the bed, only the prince was left alone at the head of the bed, he was alone, he said to himself: "Father, since you have already embarked on this road, why don't you go more thoroughly? As soon as I tell the truth, you get angry and make yourself angry, it's really not worth it." ”
