Qin Feng sat on a huge reef and looked at the sea.

Putting aside the violent side of the sea, when it is calm, it can be described as magnificent. The blue sea is endless, almost bordering the sky in the distance, water birds are chasing, waves are chasing, and flying bubbles shine with colorful light in the sun. Occasionally, you will see the colorful rainbow bridge connecting the sea and the sky. Compared with the more scattered houses in Yuejing City and the bustling crowds, it really has a unique flavor.

"Facing the sea, spring is warm and flowers blooming. Zhou Li, this one-eyed dragon, is really a lucky guy!" Qin Feng suddenly said something for no reason.

A burst of laughter came from beside him. Huo Guang turned his head to look at Qin Feng, who was not as emperor at this moment, and was barefoot, waving his feet one by one, competing with the waves slapping the giant reef, occasionally stirring up some water splashes and falling further away.

"If Your Majesty's words reached Zhou Li's ears, he would never care about living in the house facing the sea and blooming in spring." Huo Guang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know how many people envy you. If I tell people that you actually envy Zhou's single-eyed residence, I'm afraid no one will believe it."

Qin Feng rubbed his head: "Is that so? Everyone in the world says that the emperor is good, but how comfortable is the emperor's life is not as good as a rich man?"

"Only the emperor can say this." Huo Guang even laughed loudly.

"This is not a joke, Brother Huo, think about it, as this emperor, I really get up earlier than a chicken and go to bed later than a dog. There are always endless government affairs in the Qinzheng Hall of Yuejing City. Sometimes I have been reviewing memorials all day, but when I look at it at night, the mountain-like memorials did not seem to shrink at all." Qin Feng sighed: "Even if I arrived at Changyang County, I still have endless memorials chasing memorials.

I'm here. When you were sleeping with your head covering last night, I was discussing state affairs with Ma Xiangnan and the others. Those guys went back to sleep with satisfaction. I had to read the memorial from Yuejing City. I worked hard for the middle of the night and took a nap when the rooster crowed. The hard work was not enough for outsiders to tell you. Thinking of those rich men, I'm afraid that even at this moment, they will still be buried in the high sleep!" Qin Feng knocked on the reef fiercely, making a banging sound.

"Your Majesty, everyone has their own happiness, and everyone has their own shortcomings. Although the rich man is calm, his words can make everything he has disappeared. They pursue wealth, and the emperor pursues the rights. Different requests will naturally lead to different lives." Huo Guangdao. "What the rich man can control is the fate of himself and the few people around him. The emperor decides his life and death with one word, and a thought can prosper the country and destroy the country."

Listening to Huo Guang's words, Qin Feng was silent for a long time, "Brother Huo, do you think I am a qualified emperor now?"

After hearing this question, Huo Guang smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, you are not a qualified emperor yet."

Qin Feng was stunned, and he didn't expect Huo Guang to answer him like this.

"Isn't doing well enough?" he asked back.

"When you are diligent and loving the people, you are doing well enough, and you are even more impeccable when it comes to galloping on the battlefield. But maybe Your Majesty himself hasn't discovered that if you want to become a qualified emperor, there is still a biggest hurdle that you have not overcome. Only by passing that hurdle can you truly become an excellent emperor." Huo Guangdao.

"That hurdle?"

"Love!" Huo Guang said slowly.

"Affection?"

"Yes, brothers' wives, husband and wife, father and son, and friend!" Huo Guang said: "Since ancient times, kings have been called lonely and widowed. Is this just a self-deprecating? Of course not, the real emperor is indeed a lonely person. But your majesty, you have not done this yet. Otherwise, you would not have been reluctant to leave in Changyang County, and you even went out to sea to fight pirates with Zhou Li. It is because you have not yet overcome this hurdle!"

"Xi'er!" Qin Feng lowered his head and murmured.

"Your Majesty and the Queen's love are deep, and I don't know how many boys and girls you envied. The story between you and the Queen is still a legend that is circulating all over the world. But just because you plotted against Chu this time, you feel ashamed of the Queen, and even avoided Changyang, this is a hurdle."

Qin Feng smiled self-deprecatingly: "You are right. Chu State is the queen's family. If there is no big problem this time, Chu State will be deceived by me once. Countless people of Chu will fall into a pool of blood. Losing their troops and land is expected. Even if Xi'er doesn't say it, she will be sad in her heart. If I still take this as honor, wouldn't she sprinkle a handful of salt on her heart? I came to Changyang just to let her calm down and understand my difficulties."

"You don't have to do this. In fact, this is just a knot in your heart. In my opinion, the Empress is sad or there is something, but we will never blame Your Majesty for this. The Empress is good at the Chu Palace, and is not the kind of unsightly vase princess. When Your Majesty opens the court and establishes the country, the Empress must have thought of today. You are the lord of the Ming Dynasty, and it is natural for you to plan for the Ming Dynasty. Similarly, the Empress is the descendant of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the Empress's duty to consider His Majesty."

"After that being said, I still feel embarrassed." Qin Feng said.

"If this is embarrassing, then what if Your Majesty's troops enter the capital and slash at the Min clan members?" Huo Guang said: "If Your Majesty wants to unify the world, this is the hurdle that must be overcome."

"Is ruthlessness and ungratefulness the nature of the emperor?" Qin Feng asked.

Huo Guang hesitated for a moment, "Or. Your Majesty, in Chu, the former emperor Min Wei was always famous, but he chose the latter without hesitation among ministers who preserved the reputation of the royal family and sacrificed meritoriously. When Min Ruoying was in power, the old things that might have been revealed in those days were immediately killed without any mercy, and even his underage nephew was not let go. Now that Qi State ascended the throne, in order to consolidate the imperial power, he even killed his brothers and uncles into blood and destroyed countless families."

"I'm afraid I will never become such a person." Qin Feng said with a wry smile.

"You will change, and you will become a kind of person you don't like now step by step. If you want to unify the world, the emperor can just keep the world in mind. If you only look at it within a few steps, you will never be a saint king." Huo Guang said without hesitation.

"Do you all think so?" Qin Feng asked.

Huo Guang nodded: "Yes, we all think so, but they don't dare to say it, I dare to say it."

Qin Feng was silent. Indeed, Huo Guang, as a master of martial arts, had a superior position. For ordinary people, such a position as the Minister of War, it was a lifelong goal, but in Huo Guang's view, it was a bond, and he wished he could get rid of it as soon as possible. For Qin Feng, he was more suitable to be friends rather than subordinates.

"The reason why I am very confused is that I find myself running wildly on this road." After a while of silence, Qin Feng said: "Mahou is becoming more and more afraid of me."

"This is the principle of nature." Huo Guang said with a smile.

"He used to call me boss, but this year, I heard him call me that. He used to respect me, but now, I can feel that he is respectful and afraid." Qin Feng smiled bitterly: "Actually, I should have felt this change long ago. Before the horse and monkey, the first one to start to change was a kitten. Back then, kittens, wild dogs, monks were afraid of me, but many times, they could also hook my shoulders and have fun. Until now, they are still afraid of me, but this fear is completely different from the fear before. I can clearly feel their changes."

"Your Majesty, it is the only way for you and them." Huo Guangdao.

"Huo Guang, I have no relatives. I have no friends except Xi'er and Xiao Wen and Xiaowu. Putting aside your words, there are only the only ones who can be regarded as my friends. But now, they are almost no friends." Qin Feng was a little sad.

"Your Majesty, the emperor has no friends. He cannot have friends." Huo Guang said decisively.

"Can the emperor be the only one who is ruthless and unrighteous?" Qin Feng suddenly became angry: "Huo Guang, do you want me to become that kind of person?"

Huo Guang was silent for a moment: "I don't want to do it for personal gain, because that would happen, I would lose a friend, but for Daming, I hope you can become that kind of person."

“Sounds contradictory.”

"Yes, but that's the truth. The king cannot stand without power, and he cannot do without trust. He is powerful and trustworthy, and the world follows. Your Majesty, the kitten, the horse and the monkey, the changes are actually just to illustrate one thing. The Ming Dynasty under your rule is becoming stronger and stronger, and your prestige is becoming more and more noble. In the future, the more powerful the Ming Dynasty is, they will be far away from you, and will never be your friends anymore, but only your ministers and subordinates. Although you are still moving forward on the same road as them, you are destined to walk far ahead, and they can only be behind you and follow your footsteps. At some point, there will be no one around you who is qualified to walk side by side with you."

“Is it unchangeable?”

“Unchangeable.”

Listening to Huo Guang's decisive answer, Qin Feng suddenly laughed: "I want to try it. Huo Guang, in the first half of my life, I have changed many things that others think others can't change. I also want to try it on this matter."

Leaving this sentence, he carried his shoes, jumped down the huge reef, and walked back strode.

"Your Majesty, you cannot succeed. This is due to fate." Huo Guang shouted behind him.

"My life is up to me, but I cannot do it. If it were up to heaven, I would have died long ago. How could this day come?" Qin Feng laughed: "Brother Huo, I can rest for a day today. We will go out to sea again tomorrow. Don't vomit anymore."
