The imperial seal of the Daliang Dynasty is the highest symbol of power in the Daliang Dynasty.

The imperial seal has been passed down from generation to generation, and only His Majesty the Emperor can hold it.

Now that the Daliang Emperor asked Li Heng to take the imperial seal, in the eyes of the ministers, it was a move to pass on the throne.

Since Chen Chao had clearly stated that he would not take the throne, the throne can only be chosen from one of the two princes.

The third prince is only a teenager, and it is not good enough to want to rule a dynasty. The eldest prince is weak, but he is of the right age and has a good reputation. He is the best candidate.

In this way, Chen Chao is indeed the best candidate. He is young and heroic, very much like the current Daliang Emperor, but the ministers may not want to welcome another emperor like the Daliang Emperor.

Besides, he is the younger brother of the deposed emperor, and he personally killed the deposed emperor that night. This is unacceptable in the eyes of many scholars.

They will never let such a person ascend the throne.

…

…

Li Heng returned, holding a golden seal. He slowly came to the side of the Daliang Emperor, and then slowly stood still.

But there was some sadness in his eyes.

He could guess a lot about what happened today, and knew that His Majesty was about to face the most dangerous situation.

The Demon Emperor was the strongest in the world, and the Daliang Emperor might not be able to defeat him in his prime. Moreover, after fighting with the Master of the Temple and the Master of the Sword Sect, the Daliang Emperor was seriously injured at the moment. If he faced the Demon Emperor again, I am afraid that his chances of winning would be slim.

The Daliang Emperor glanced at Li Heng. As master and servant for many years, they had a tacit understanding, and he could know his intentions in every move.

"Li Heng, you will go and sweep the Queen's mausoleum in person in the future. Go and talk to her when you have nothing to do. She is most afraid of loneliness."

The Daliang Emperor smiled slowly, "Don't tell her what I did."

Li Heng was silent for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty should come back."

The Daliang Emperor did not speak, but patted Li Heng's shoulder, then looked at the ministers and said calmly, "I will leave the capital temporarily, and I don't know when I will return."

Hearing this, the ministers all raised their heads, with different emotions in their eyes. Some courtiers who have always been loyal to the Daliang Emperor have begun to cry.

Leaving the capital temporarily is just a saying. The courtiers can't understand the implication of His Majesty.

In the past ten years, Daliang has ushered in the best ten years. Although the court is not as peaceful as the reign of Emperor Lingzong, from the perspective of the entire Daliang, the north has won a victory, and the entire northern border may get more than ten years of peace. The lives of the people in the entire Daliang are much better than before, and now Fangwai's wings have been clipped.

Daliang can be said to have entered a brand new era.

In such an era, the greatest founder is the emperor who will sit on the throne by dishonorable means in the history books.

Unfortunately, now this emperor seems to be part of history.

The historian looked at the emperor seriously. Over the years, he had both respect and dissatisfaction with the emperor of Daliang. He respected the things he did, which really brought Daliang to prosperity. He was dissatisfied that he could not be said to be an emperor who listened to the opinions of the courtiers. Once he made up his mind about many things, he would not listen to anyone's opinions.

Are there not many courtiers who knelt and died in front of the palace gate?

This emperor could not be said to be a benevolent monarch, but he must be a wise monarch and a heroic ruler.

Even though there were many unsatisfactory things in the past, thinking that the emperor was leaving and becoming a part of history, the historian also felt a little touched.

"Appoint the third prince Chen Zhan... as the prince."

The emperor of Daliang looked at the ministers and spoke in a flat voice. In the past, there was always some praise for the appointment of the prince, but when it came to the emperor of Daliang, there was nothing, only such a simple sentence.

"The eldest prince Chen Lin will be crowned the Prince of Ning."

"After I leave the capital, the crown prince Chen Zhan will temporarily take charge of state affairs, starting from the day I return."

The court officials had complicated expressions and were very puzzled. His Majesty's arrangement was actually a transfer of power, but it was not really a transfer of power. The crown prince was in the name of regent, but in fact he was the new emperor of the Daliang Dynasty, but he never had that status. If the Daliang emperor could really come back, it would be fine, but if he never came back, and waited for decades or years, the crown prince died, who would be the master of the Daliang Dynasty after that?

And the most awkward thing about this decree was that from then on, the Daliang Dynasty would no longer have His Majesty the Emperor...

A country without a ruler is an extremely rare situation in history.

"Your Majesty, this seems inappropriate."

The historian suddenly came out and said seriously, "The country cannot be without a monarch for a day. Since Your Majesty is away, you should have established a new monarch."

The historian's words were actually very direct and straightforward, but few court officials dared to say these words.

Even though His Majesty is leaving now, the pressure from the past is still there.

"Does the Grand Historian think that I will never come back after this departure?"

The Daliang Emperor looked at the Grand Historian and said with a calm smile, "I am the master of the world, who can kill me?"

The Daliang Emperor spoke lightly, but his voice was full of unparalleled courage.

Especially since he had just defeated the two strongest men in the world.

The Grand Historian wanted to say something but stopped.

The Daliang Emperor had already waved his sleeves, "Chen Chao, the commander of the Left Guard, is deeply in my heart. He is a loyal minister of Daliang and a descendant of my Chen family. I have given him an important task. The prince can ask Chen Chao for his opinion on military and national affairs."

This sentence was even more important. Although the Daliang Emperor did not specify what official position Chen Chao was given, the fact that he could ask Chen Chao about military and national affairs had already given him great power.

The ministers were silent, asking whether the word was big or small, even they couldn't find anything to say.

Just when all the ministers were silent, the eldest prince knelt down and said calmly

"My son, I would like to thank my father for your kindness."

The third prince Chen Zhan, who is now His Royal Highness, also knelt on the ground and said seriously, "My son, I will definitely bear in mind my father's will and govern the country well until my father returns."

Emperor Liang didn't look at His Highness the Crown Prince, but looked at the ministers, and said with a heroic smile, "My lords, wait until I return!"

…

…

Outside the imperial city, the queen's mausoleum.

Emperor Daliang stood in front of the tombstone, while Chen Chao stood quietly behind Emperor Daliang.

Emperor Liang approached the tombstone, stretched out his hand to remove the fallen leaves from it, and then said softly, "I have to leave for a few days, so let this child accompany you during these days."

Chen Chao's eyes were complicated, but he couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, can you really come back?"

The two emperors represent the peak combat power of the human race and the demon race. If they fight, the difference will be life and death. One of them is destined to die.

And the current state of Emperor Liang is very worrying.

Emperor Liang turned to look at Chen Chao and said with a smile, "Still don't believe me?"

Chen Chao smiled bitterly and said, "It's really too difficult."

Emperor Liang didn't say anything, he just stretched out his hand, and a white mist overflowed from his palm.

Chen Chao was startled when he saw the white mist, and then his eyes widened.

He was very familiar with that white mist. He had discovered it in the ruins of the Rongshan Sect. The method was inscribed on the coffin of the girl in white, but it was only half of it, but even that half made Chen Chao different from the world. The other warriors, and later the other half, gave it to Chen Chao after the girl in white regained consciousness.

But before that, I am afraid that Chen Chao is the only one in the world who knows this secret technique.

"Has your Majesty also seen her?"

Chen Chao suddenly realized.

Emperor Liang didn't speak. The white mist in his palm condensed instantly, and then turned into particles of light. His breath was also different, as if they were two different Taoist methods.

"It's just evidence. Let me observe. Why do I need to learn other people's secret methods in my life?"

Emperor Liang smiled and said, "However, the way martial arts practice in this world is indeed a broken road. Ordinary martial artists may not be able to reach the end in their lifetime. Even I, in the past few years, have only walked to the broken bridge. There is no road ahead." The road is broken."

In terms of cultivation alone, Emperor Liang was indeed a martial artist unprecedented in this millennium. Not only did he reach the end of his martial arts career in this millennium, he also relied on a few opportunities to cross the broken road and embark on a new path.

"You still don't believe that I can come back? But it will take some time. After I killed the Demon Emperor, I still have to find a place to realize it."

Emperor Liang looked at Chen Chao, smiled and said, "The world is under my control."

At this moment, Chen Chao really admired the Emperor of Liang in front of him, as if everything was planned by him.

"You are carrying the white mist, and when you step to the end of Wangyou, you will also know where the new road is. But the warriors in the world don't know that there is such a road. If you meet someone with good qualifications and good character, you can also pass it on.

Next, with such a martial arts path, there will be improvement in the decline of this millennium. "

Emperor Liang suddenly stopped and said with emotion, "But after all, everything was too early. I should have waited for you to step into Wangyou before doing these things."

Chen Chao has already reached the threshold of Wangyou, but he still lacks the opportunity to step into it.

Chen Chao said, "I'm walking a little slower."

Emperor Liang sighed, "It was much easier for me to give the world to you, but now I can focus on doing other things, but you don't want to."

Chen Chao smiled and said, "Even His Majesty finds it troublesome, how can I feel relaxed?"

The intrigue in the court couldn't be that simple.

Even someone like Emperor Liang, who could control the overall situation, would feel tired.

"Fortunately, I have already done a lot of things. If you don't want to do the next thing, you can ask the woman for her advice."

Having said this, Emperor Liang reached out and rubbed Chen Chao's head again, and asked, "Silly boy, at this moment, is there anything else you want to say to me?"

Chen Chao looked at Emperor Daliang, smiled, and said calmly, "Your Majesty used to be the mountain behind me, and from now on I will be the mountain behind Daliang."

Emperor Liang said, "The burden is a bit heavy, but I can only entrust it to you. Don't blame me."

…

…

Emperor Liang came to the city of Shendu, but Zhou Gouqi still hadn't left. He was sitting on the city wall, holding the paper kite.

Emperor Liang glanced at him and said with a smile, "You really read a saint."

Zhou Gouqizi stood up and saluted solemnly, but didn't know what to say.

"There is no need to die here, there will be many places where you will be needed in the future."

Emperor Liang paused and said with a smile, "I don't want Yuan'er to see you so early."

Zhou Gouqi looked sad and just held Zhiyuan's hand tightly.

Emperor Daliang patted Zhou Gouqi on the shoulder and said, "It's a pity that you couldn't become my son-in-law."

Zhou Gouqi hesitated for a moment and said, "Teacher, he..."

Emperor Liang said, "The dean and I have known each other for many years. How could I not know his thoughts? He feels ashamed of me and has gone to the north."

Since the founding of the Liang Dynasty, no academy dean has ever gone to the northern border to resist the demon clan.

Now is the first time.

Zhou Gouqi said, "If the teacher has something to do, I will help you. I am willing to take the teacher's place."

Emperor Liang shook his head and said, "There is nothing in this world that you can do for yourself. He is trying to atone for Wei Xu's sins."

Zhou Wolfberry still wanted to say something, but at this moment, a man was staggering out of the city at the city gate. His hair was disheveled and he was mumbling to himself.

Like crazy.

Emperor Liang said, "It's Wei Xu."

Zhou Gouqi looked complicated, "He's crazy."

Emperor Liang sighed with emotion, "Idiots are also pitiful."
