Chapter 15: Old and New

However, his eyes had grown more indifferent, and smiles were no longer seen on his face. He had always been a man who didn''t smile much. In his youth, he had excelled in the academy, emerging as the top scholar.

可是他的眉眼更淡漠了，脸上再也见不到笑容，他从来就是一个不爱笑的男人，在他的生命中笑的次数也是极少的，年少时入学堂一鸣惊人，一举夺魁。

Later, his father established the Old Dynasty, and as the eldest son, he was naturally favored by his father, becoming the Crown Prince of the new Old Dynasty.

后来父亲建立了旧王朝，自己身为长子也一直受父亲看重，所以自然而然地就成了新旧王朝的太子。

He achieved much, overcoming obstacles on the battlefield, fighting fiercely, and addressing corrupt officials and policies in the court. A prodigy at a young age, he was granted the title of Crown Prince, just one step below the Emperor, and ascended to the peak of power.

建功立业、披荆斩棘、战场上浴血奋战、朝堂前废除弊政、改新废旧、抓贪官污吏……，少年成名，他就是个大才子，成年后又获封太子，一人之下万人之上，走上了权力巅峰。

Even after being defeated by his rival and forced to abandon the capital, he remained confident. Although he and his father couldn''t unify the entire kingdom, they still had the strength to carve out a piece of land and establish their rule.

即使后来被竞争对手打败，被迫放弃了都城而叛逃，但是他依然成竹在胸，自己和父亲虽然不能统一整个王国，但是在这个国家的某一块地上割地封王，这个实力还是有的。
