Somehow, Chen Hao looked at the woman in front of him who had been let down by himself, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and said to her: " By the way, you were given marriage by the emperor that day and married into this Dingbei Palace, but I directly blocked you in every way, and even humiliated you in every way outside this palace, so that you lost face in front of the people of Shendu, that incident, Chen Hao was sorry for you back then, and today here, Chen Hao wants to make a compensatory deal with you, of course, if you have any resentment in your heart, Hao is standing here, you want to be punished, you are free, as long as you can alleviate your original pain, Hao has no complaints. ”

Looking at the man in front of her so seriously, the woman knew that compared with him back then, he was too mature now.

Even compared to a few years ago, it was as if he had completely changed a person.

So, the woman was slightly stunned at first, but soon, she shook her head with a smile, and sighed a few times before she spoke: " No need, I admit that I was really angry and hated you for the humiliating language you said outside the Dingbei Palace, but later, during the days when you had no news, I also lived in this Dingbei Mansion for several years, and in these years, I more or less learned some things about you from the mouths of the subordinates and the maids, and I realized that you are much stronger than I imagined. ”

Hearing the woman say this, Chen Hao smiled bitterly and said, "What? What kind of person do you imagine, what kind of person am I? Is it a tyrant of the gods? Or a playboy in the mouth of the people, an unscrupulous young master." ”

Seeing Chen Hao say this, it made the woman a little shocked, because of the titles Chen Hao said, she naturally heard other people talk about them, but today, when these very dejorative titles came out of the main mouth, for a while, the woman's expression was also a little embarrassed.

Seeing her expression, Chen Hao didn't show much change, just smiled and continued: " Let's be honest, back then, I and a few of their sons and brothers were called the four great Taibao of the divine capital, you don't look at this title on the surface to hear so lofty, but if it is ugly, it means that we are the head of the snake and the villain, but I enjoyed this title at the time, because in this way, at least in the eyes of many people, I belong to the kind of particularly strong people, and in that case, I can hide the fragility in my heart. ”

"Yes, people only know that the young master of the Dingbei Mansion is quite unreasonable, idle and idle all day long, but what they don't know is that he is just doing this to hide his truest self, in fact..."

Speaking of this, the woman stopped, and her eyes also looked at Chen Hao who was standing aside.

Seeing that the woman stopped, Chen Hao also sighed deeply: "Actually, this eldest young master of Dingbei Wangfu is not as strong as they imagined, in other words, he uses such an external expression to disguise his most real self who is frightened, he doesn't want others to know that he is the eldest son of Dingbei Wangfu and is a coward." ”

Seeing Chen Hao facing the truest self, the woman nodded and said, "It seems that you have really grown a lot, in other words, you are now a well-deserved king of Dingbei." ”

Yes, after so many years of wandering outside, Chen Hao has experienced too much, he is no longer the ignorant teenager he was back then, and now he can be said to have really achieved what it means to stand up to the sky.

As long as you become stronger step by step through your own efforts, you can finally protect the people around you and protect some of the things you want to protect through your own hands.

Looking at Chen Hao, who was full of confidence, the woman smiled at him and said: "Okay, King Dingbei, you should go, it's just that your journey is destined to be no turning back, this step may be just a small step in the eyes of ordinary people, but for you, this is a very dangerous road, with the king like a tiger, you have grown up, and that majesty is no longer the eldest son of the emperor back then, from today on, your relationship is destined to be only a monarch and a minister, and even a relationship of mutual restraint." ”

Chen Hao nodded, and finally took another look, this Dingbei Palace, where he had lived for eighteen years, and finally, he took another look at the grass and trees here.

It wasn't until he saw every inch of this palace that Chen Hao nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, just like you said, I should go, from the time I stepped out of this Dingbei Palace, everything in the past should be left behind, I am no longer the prince of Dingbei, he is no longer the eldest son of the emperor, and I am just from one game of chess and into another game of chess, from now on, I and his monarchs and ministers have just begun." ”

After that, Chen Hao turned around and planned to leave, at this time, he had no worries.

Seeing Chen Hao preparing to leave, the woman seemed to have thought of something, and plucked up the courage to shout at Chen Hao's majestic back: "Chen Hao, let me ask you the last sentence, from the first time we met to the present, you have ever had a little childlike affection for me in your heart. ”

Hearing the woman's question, Chen Hao stopped, but he didn't look back, but he didn't think about it at all, and replied bluntly: "No, never, from our realization to the present, in my heart, I have always regarded you as my relatives and my sister." ”

After hearing Chen Hao's reply, the woman did not have any slight movement in her expression. Because in her heart, although she had great expectations, she also understood what kind of words he would say.

"Sure enough, I know, let's go!" said the woman.

This time, Chen Hao did not stop, but walked straight and walked out of the Dingbei Palace, which was not big or small, without half a diversion.

And now he is about to go to a new destination, the place that the Dingbei Royal Mansion has guarded for generations.

Dahua border.

In the eyes of countries outside the state, the Dingbei Wangfu is half the sky of Dahua, and the Dingbei King of the Dingbei Wangfu is the god of war in their hearts.

An invincible and victorious general.

In Longteng Plaza,

A few days ago, it was a jubilant engagement scene, but now, a golden platform has been erected here.

At the same time, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces were all listed on the left and right sides.

On the golden platform, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Hua Kingdom, Chu Tianze stood there early.

He stood with his hands in his hands, waiting for something.

And the person he is waiting for is the protagonist on today's golden platform.

Chen Hao, on this golden platform today, he will officially take over the Dingbei palace and become the pillar of Dahuaguo, the only king of Dingbei.

However, at this time, His Majesty the Emperor's heart can be described as very heavy.

Because he knows that after today, he Chu Tianze and Chen Hao will no longer be just good brothers, and even, the brotherly relationship will gradually fade away, because from today on, he is the king, and Chen Hao is the minister.

The difference between monarchs and ministers, when this relationship officially appears, it means that he and him, invisibly, have entered this chess game together.

Monarchs and ministers play games and beware of each other.

For the way of the king, for the way of the minister.

Before the death of the previous generation of emperors, he once called him, the crown prince, in front of the bed and said to him Chu Tianze:

"Child, my father knows that you and the young master of Dingbei Wangfu are very ingenious, but my father wants to tell you that the moment you inherit the throne and sit on the throne, you can no longer regard him as a friend, but as your enemy, just like you, from the moment you were born, you are destined to be the emperor, and he, from the moment he was born, is the successor of the Dingbei Palace, you are the king, he is a minister, since ancient times there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, you must know that what you are carrying on your shoulders is not only a person's life, but also the thousands of people of my Dahua Kingdom, as well as my Chu royal family。 ”

Father's words really made Chu Tianze confused, and he asked in confusion: "Father, why, Brother Hao is my good brother, how can I treat my brother as an enemy?"

But the old emperor shook his head, obviously, in his eyes, Chu Tianze's words were too naïve, so he also continued: "You are still young now, when you grow up, you may understand what your father said to you today." ”

"But Father, I don't understand, I don't understand why you have such an idea, if the monarch and the minister can't be of the same mind, then how can you talk about governing the country?" the prince still asked questioningly.

But the old emperor had already come to the end of his life, he looked at his children, looked at the future master of the country, and finally said earnestly: "Because, when I was still the crown prince, I was also a brother with him." ”

After the words fell, the life of this old emperor finally came to an end, and after he ended his glorious life, he also drew an end to his life.

At the same time, Chu Tianze officially succeeded to the throne, the new emperor of Dahua, and the Xuanwu Emperor inherited the unification.

Recalling the bits and pieces of the past, Chu Tianze slowly opened his eyes, he looked at the looming figure not far away, and knew in his heart that he was coming.

As an emperor, he understands that after today, their relationship will change a lot.

Just like his father and the former king of Dingbei, from now on, the only connection between them is only the monarch and the minister.

I don't know why, but time flies exceptionally fast today.

A second ago, his figure was only the size of an ant, but now, he was already standing in front of him.

Looking at His Majesty, Chen Hao saluted him for the first time: "Chen Hao, the minister of the Northern Palace, I have seen my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" After saying that, Chen Hao knelt on one knee on the ground.

Then he said: "The minister has armor on his body, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive the sin of disrespect." ”

Chu Tianze just wanted to open his mouth and say to the little general kneeling in front of him, Brother Hao didn't need to be like this.

But the thought only existed in his mind for a moment, and he said, "It's okay, the general is flat." ”

Yes, those two words are very simple, but from now on, as a generation of emperors, he can no longer be called.

Chen Hao also stood up, he looked at Chu Tianze, and didn't say anything.

He understands, and the other party also understands, one of them is a king, the other is a minister, since ancient times, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, from ancient times to the present, which monarch has not been wary of courtiers, and which courtiers have not concealed themselves in front of the monarch.

Inadvertently, among them, there is an extra barrier, a barrier called hypocrisy.

Soon, the ceremonial officer gave a gift.

After the dance and music, Chu Tianze held the heavy seal of the Dingbei Wangfu and put it on Chen Hao's hand.

Said: "General, from today on, the safety of this great country will be in the hands of the general, and few people believe that as long as the general is there, it will be able to protect our country from foreign enemies, the country will be stable, and the people will be healthy." ”

"Chen Haoding's liver and brain are smeared, and he lives up to the emperor's grace!"

After that, Chen Hao knelt on the ground and said, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

As the dusk fell, when the red light fell on the faces of the two kings and ministers, they knew each other that they had changed, maybe they were not human, but they had really changed.

On the second day, outside the imperial city, Chu Tianze, the emperor of Dahua, personally set up a banquet to see off Chen Hao, the king of Dingbei.

After three rounds of drinking, Chen Hao got on the horse and said goodbye.

Towards his destination.
