On the official road, Chen Hao and his group did not rush forward quickly, but moved forward leisurely. Since Li Yan learned that Cui Dang and others wanted to kill him that day, they have been taciturn and heavy-hearted.

The two of them walked side by side in front of the team. Seeing Li Yan so depressed, Chen Hao sighed: "As a prince, you should know that the most ruthless imperial family is the most ruthless. Flesh and flesh have been tragic since ancient times. It is normal for Your Highness to be depressed or happy about this..."

"I don't know why the emperor brother is like this? Now he is the current crown prince, and I am just a powerless prince. The two are like the bright moon to the firefly, why should he..." Li Yan sighed softly, feeling a sense of heartache and heartbroken loss.

Chen Hao shook his head without any objection and said, "There are all kinds of variables in the world. Maybe you expected the beginning but couldn't guess the end. I'm sorry, if your highness had not been plagued by illness since childhood, perhaps the person who lives in the Eastern Palace today would not be the current crown prince..."

When Li Yan heard Chen Hao's words, he was stunned and then reminded with a solemn expression: "Brother Chen must be careful. Only a few words between you and me are not hindered. If you are heard by a lingering person, you will definitely suffer disaster!"

"Haha! Your Highness, please relax. How could the officials be the kind of person who is unrestrained? I won't mention this matter for the time being, but did your Highness remember that he had three bows in Prince Yong's mansion that day, and asked for the officials?" Chen Hao also knew that this matter should not be too hasty, so he changed the subject and asked.

"Of course I remember that I asked Brother Chen about the strategy of governing separatist rule in the vassal states that day, but Brother Chen kept saying that the time had not arrived..." Li Yan didn't know why Chen Hao suddenly asked about this. It had been more than half a year since that day. He had visited Chen Hao many times, but Chen Hao kept saying that the time had not arrived.

Chen Hao nodded but shook his head again, and he showed a disappointed silence on his back. Li Yan was a little anxious, thinking that you could stop saying half of the words? So he asked anxiously: "Brother Chen has something to say but it doesn't matter..."

"Now there is an opportunity for you and me to achieve great things, but..." Chen Hao stopped talking with a puzzled look on his face.

Li Wen was so uncomfortable that he was so upset by Chen Hao's words that he wanted to speak but stopped: "Brother Chen might as well speak out!"

Chen Hao glanced at Li Yan and thought that the temperature should be almost the same, so he said in a deep voice: "Now Cui Tong is in our hands, and he can't help but be afraid of the Cui family. In this way, the court has no choice but to say unstoppable words. Your Highness can ask the emperor to entrust important tasks. Why worry about the great things being done if the subordinates assist him at that time?"

"Brother Chen's words are reasonable, and I feel much more at ease with my elder brother to help me!" Li Yan was overjoyed when he heard Chen Hao's analysis. Although he now has a fief, he is just a prince. Li Yan also has a heart that he is unwilling to be inferior to others. Therefore, it is his most urgent thing to be able to get Li Chen's recognition.

However, just when Li Yan was happy, Chen Hao turned to the topic: "But Your Highness is too kind and treats the enemy too kindly. The frowning of His Highness at the post station is enough to show that he is very dissatisfied with the slaughter of dozens of people..."

"This..." Li Qi looked embarrassed, thinking that he could not hide anything from his brother's eyes.

"Your Highness is very happy that your highness has such a kind heart. After many years, the highness does not want to end up with a sad ending of the death of a rabbit and a fox..." Seeing that Li Yan wanted to express his feelings, Chen Hao continued: "However, your highness should know the difference between Daren and Xiaoren!"

Although Li Yan was a little surprised at Chen Hao's words, he still responded: "Those who do not know but do it are the way. Those who know but do it are benevolence. Those who do not say it is great benevolence, and those who say it is small benevolence..."

Chen Hao nodded without commenting on this, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Highness is right. However, as a prince, since your highness is determined to take the world as his responsibility, you must know the truth about 'Great benevolence to save the country, small benevolence to ruin the country'!"

"Oh? Brother Chen asked for advice!" Li Qi looked shocked and asked respectfully.

Chen Hao was very satisfied with Li Yan's humility, but Chen Hao was not proud, so he bowed to King Yong Li on Ma Bei and said, "The so-called great benevolence is to take the people of the world as his responsibility. This kind of benevolence can truly benefit the people. The Central Plains dynasty has changed for thousands of years, and how can the war be smoke disappear? The soldiers guarding the frontiers died in the battlefield to defend their families and the country. There were millions of corpses on the battlefield of blood and fire. Could your Highness say that these heroes are murderers, evil people, and sinners?"

"This..." Li Yan was asked by Chen Hao, but he didn't know how to respond.

"The so-called small benevolence is a small favor that benefits individuals. Such small benevolence is a virtue that ordinary people praise. However, for those who can control the heavy burden of the government, this kind of small benevolence has become a kindness for women..."

Speaking of this, Chen Hao said earnestly: "The reason why the Xiaguan massacred all the rest of the people on that day was that the Xiaguan was bloodthirsty and ruthless, but in fact, it was necessary to kill him. If he did not use this bloody blood, how could he intimidate the two elders of the Cui family? If not, how could Cui Dang dare not act rashly and then throw himself into a harassment?"

After listening to Chen Hao's explanation, Li Yan understood the true meaning of the so-called Daren and Xiaoren. He also understood Chen Hao's good intentions in this move. Li Yan sighed and said to himself: "Daren seems cruel but is beneficial to the people, and Xiaoren seems beautiful but is very beneficial to the people!"

Seeing that Li Yan finally understood the truth, Chen Hao felt much more relaxed. He didn't want to leave a bloodthirsty and ruthless shadow in the heart of King Yong. At this moment, a fast horse came towards him, and the person sitting upright was the guard sent by Chen Hao to Cui's mansion to deliver the letter.

Chen Hao took the letter written by Cui Shi, and opened it and couldn't help but feel happy. He thought that Cui Laoer was really cautious in his work. The content of the letter was vague, but he vaguely obscured the meaning expressed in it. Chen Hao knew that Cui Shi was worried that this letter would be given to others, so he wrote the letter to be in a fog and ignorant.

The main meaning of the letter is to promise Chen Hao that he would not set up an ambush on his way back to Beijing. However, the requirement is to protect Cui Tong's safety, and all the grievances will be discussed when he reaches the capital.

Chen Hao smiled coldly at this. How could he believe the words of this old fox? Although Chen Hao didn't know what the Cui Shi gourd sold, he had to be careful of this old fox, who had been sophisticated for a long time. If this letter just deliberately paralyzed him, he made him slack and finally gave him a fatal blow on the way, then wouldn't Chen Hao be worth the loss?

Nowadays, not only is his safety and King Yong particularly important, but Cui Tong, who is tied to a horse, is also particularly important. Thinking of this, Chen Hao decided not to take this path and instead take the water path.

This decision puzzled Li Yan. He had not been blocked by rain and snow recently, and he could reach the capital within three days. If he changed to the waterway, he had to detour the Yellow River and then arrived at the Wei River. It would take at least five days for the capital to reach the capital during this transition. In this way, he had already missed the fifteen-day deadline stipulated by the Three Kingdoms. Even if Chen Hao could solve the three problems, it would be too late to make a move.

"Brother Chen, wouldn't I missed the time?" Li Yan said anxiously.

Chen Hao looked at the future and sighed: "Your Highness doesn't know anything. Cui Shi's old man will definitely not let us enter Beijing easily, especially now we have captured Cui Tong!"

Chen Hao was always puzzled about Cui Tong's appearance at the inn. Originally, Chen Hao planned to fish, but he never thought of catching such a big fish. But Chen Hao was also puzzled by how could this old man such a shrewd person send the Cui family's children to participate in this matter? Isn't this giving him a handle?

"Brother Chen means... Master Cui Ge..." Li Yan frowned, and his heart couldn't help but sink.

Chen Hao nodded and sighed: "The head of the family always takes into account the overall situation. If it endangers the family, even if it is a parent-child, it will not be ruthless..." He spoke and pulled the reins to the Yellow River Ferry, leaving only Li Yan with a deep thought.

...

The Hall of the Nationalities

The three princes in the room sat aside with different expressions, and the iron-faced man stood respectfully in the hall. The iron-faced man was either Ye Baiyi (Wu Tian). After parting with Chen Hao, he returned to the capital with Chen at night.

At this moment, the prince of Nanzhao, the chief of Nanzhao, looked gloomy and didn't know what to say. He made a promise in front of Tubo prince Weisong that day. However, he did not expect that the team of 60 people formed by the Three Kingdoms would be killed in battle.

"Brother Chief Long! What are you going to explain this?" Bohai Prince was so bold that he shook his wine glass and asked with a sarcastic look on his face.

Although Daqianhuang was unhappy about the death of dozens of warriors in the Bohai Sea this time, he did not take it seriously. What Daqianhuang cares about was that he could suppress Nanzhao's spirit. The alliance between the Three Kingdoms seemed united, but in fact it was a disagreement.

Because Nanzhao was adjacent to Tubo, there were many wars between the two countries. However, things were always two sides. Although Nanzhao was often eroded and oppressed by Tubo, it also created an opportunity for Nanzhao to be unannexed in a century.

When the Tang Dynasty was strong, Nanzhao turned to the embrace of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty also needed Nanzhao to curb Tubo. When the Tang Dynasty declined, Tubo would join forces with Nanzhao to eat up the Tang Dynasty. From this point of view, the two countries of Tubo and Nanzhao can be said to be close and dependent on life and death.

Although Nanzhao has experienced a lot of war, it is also a country that is good at everything. Therefore, in the Three Kingdoms Alliance, the Bohai Sea is much more distant. In order to gain the attention of Tubo, Daqianhuang had a provocation.

Seeing Da Qianhuang teasing him like this, the eldest dragon's face became even more gloomy. He glared at Wu Tian in the field, and then asked unhappily: "

What does Da Qianhuang mean by saying this mean?"

"Oh? Haha, Brother Chief Long, don't be angry, I just asked casually. Could it be that the twenty warriors in Bohai died quietly, and I can't ask about it?"

"I never thought that Chen Hao was so difficult to deal with!"

Da Qianhuang said unanimously: "Did you never imagined it or you were prepared for it?"

At this moment, Duan Zongji beside the chieftain, shouted indignation: "Criminal, don't say anything slandered. Since we and the three kingdoms all form an alliance, how could I, Nanzhao, secretly communicate with the Tang court!"
