The most romantic little emperor

A trace of vigilance flashed in Xiao Tianyang's eyes, and he said calmly: "Why should I believe you?"

"Ugh!"

Qin Hao sighed softly, his tone containing endless vicissitudes and helplessness, and slowly said: "When a dynasty prospers, the people suffer; when a dynasty perishes, the people suffer; when dynasties rise and fall, the people suffer."

"This world is already in turmoil, and the people's lives are already difficult. If I continue to be obsessed with fighting for power, won't I be pushing them into a deeper abyss?"

"Although I am not a wise ruler, I have a broad mind and care about the people. I have long wanted to reconcile with your Xiao family. I have been tolerant of you again and again, not because I am weak and can be bullied, but because I hope to use my tolerance to gain peace in the world."

"What is the purpose behind this? It is nothing more than to protect this beautiful land from the ravages of war, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the country can enjoy long-term stability."

Xiao Tianyang snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Even if you are convincing and have the world in your heart, you can't cover up the sin of your Qin family stealing my Daliang kingdom. This is an indisputable fact."

"Does it matter?"

Qin Hao shook his head slightly, his tone revealing a calm detachment: "Since ancient times, history has been written by the victors. Even if there are some bad public opinions, they are nothing more than smoke and clouds of the past."

"Moreover, neither you nor I have witnessed that period of history, but we are well aware of the iron law of history: 'He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and he who loses the hearts of the people loses the world.' The fall of any dynasty is ultimately due to the loss of the hearts of the people, which incurred the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people."

"Your Daliang is no exception. The cause and effect here cannot be imposed by external forces. It is the fate of your Xiao family that cannot bear the weight of Daliang."

"If one day my kingdom is shaken by you or others, it is not God's will, but proof that there are people in this land who are more suitable than me to lead the people and protect the peace and prosperity under this sky."

"When the time comes, I will give up my hatred and restore my country. I will never allow this devastated country to suffer more war, because I love this land deeply."

As soon as these words were spoken, the air seemed to freeze a little.

Xiao Tianyang stood there in a daze, obviously impressed by the imperial demeanor that Qin Hao exuded, which was detached from the world and tolerant of everything.

After a long while, he exhaled a breath of foul air and slowly said, "Whether what you said is from the heart or not, you have defeated me mentally and convinced me. It seems that your Qin family, as the ruler of this world, has a bearing and mind that my Xiao family cannot match."

"However, how can I let go of decades of grievances, national hatred and family feuds? Otherwise, how can I face our Xiao family ancestors?"

Qin Hao nodded slightly, a faint smile on his lips, the smile revealed the calmness of a wise man and the bearing of an emperor, "I understand your knot, you have any ideas, just say it. Even if I make you a king of a different surname, it is not impossible."

These words were full of sincerity. It must be said that Qin Hao really spent a lot of money to subdue these forces of the previous dynasty.

Even Xiao Tianyang couldn't help but sigh, wondering if he were an emperor, would he have the same magnanimity as Qin Hao.

However, the heart of the emperor is unfathomable.

This thought only flashed through his mind, and he didn't dare to think too much about it.

Xiao Tianyang shook his head gently, decisively rejected his proposal, and said in a deep voice: "Those worldly things are nothing but passing clouds to me. They have no appeal to me. There will be a battle between you and me. Do you dare to accept my challenge?"

His words were filled with a determination that could not be refused, and then he changed the subject, revealing a hint of undisguised provocation in his tone: "If I lose to you, I will give you all the power I control."

"And if I win by chance, I only ask for one thing, please clear my father's name and give him back his innocence and dignity. This is my condition, what do you think?"

At this moment, Lady Xiao's face suddenly changed, her anxiety was evident, and she shouted desperately, "Brother, you must not do this!"

The voice was full of worry and reluctance, but it failed to shake Xiao Tianyang in the slightest.

Seeing that her words could not shake Xiao Tianyang's iron determination, she turned her eyes to Qin Hao involuntarily, her words were full of pleading, and there was also a little trembling that was not easy to detect: "Your Majesty, please think twice, and don't agree to my elder brother."

"Emperor of Daxia, do you have the courage to accept this challenge and compete with me?" Xiao Tianyang pressed on step by step, his tone revealing an unquestionable domineering attitude.

Qin Hao's eyes kept moving between Xiao Tianyang and his sister, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

"Your Majesty, don't... don't agree to it." Concubine Xiao fell to her knees, tears in her eyes, begging bitterly.

At this moment, Qin Hao felt like he was in a storm. On one hand, Xiao Tianyang was pressing him step by step, and on the other hand, Xiao Tianyue was begging him, making him feel torn.

If it is a blessing, it will not be a disaster. If it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided. What needs to be faced will have to be faced sooner or later.

Qin Hao sighed and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Tianyang, I accept your challenge. Regardless of the outcome, I will clear the name of Emperor Liang Yang."

Upon hearing this, Ah Yue's eyes were filled with worry. She moved lightly, approached Qin Hao, and said softly, "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, and your body is worth millions of gold. How can you easily take risks? Do you want to let Yue'er take action for you and teach this ignorant person a lesson?"

"Yes! Your Majesty is the supreme ruler. There is no need for you to put yourself in danger for this man. Just let us deal with it." Liang Hongyu stepped forward, her gentleness revealing determination, and she persuaded earnestly.

Qin Hao gently patted the two women's delicate jade-like hands, his eyes revealing an unquestionable firmness: "This is a matter between us men, how can we let others do it?"

"Besides, I have absolute confidence in my own cultivation and strength. I know how to deal with Xiao Tianyang. There is no need to worry too much."

"Wait a minute, keep an eye on Aunt Xiao and don't let her do anything stupid."

During this period of time, although Qin Hao was busy with government affairs, he never slacked off in the practice of the Pure Yang Wuji Divine Art. Now, the Pure Yang Qi was circulating in his body, adding a bit of extraordinary aura.

He knew very well that only by becoming strong could he protect this vast land and the loved ones around him.

Therefore, facing Xiao Tianyang's challenge, he chose to go into battle personally. It was not only a test of his own strength, but also a way to put an end to decades of grievances and hatreds, so that there would be no more war in Daxia.

Seeing that Qin Hao agreed so readily, Xiao Tianyang admired him very much. He never thought that he would clear his father's name.

Such magnanimity made him feel a little inferior, but he had already made a decision in his heart.
