On the afternoon of the second day after Dikar summoned General Bopos, a crowd gathered in a remote col outside the city of Basrat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's not common for a group of people to gather in such a remote area, and the identity of this group is even more surprising. They were the three eldest princes of Dikal: Hudmir, Borges, and Chilkodham.

The three of them were of the same age, similar in appearance to their fathers, and even very similar in hobbies - they had no interest in anything but the lavish life of being a dog and a horse, and strangely enough, the three brothers hated each other with increasing time. The reason for this is none other than because if you sort by age, the three of them are most likely to become the next kings.

Because of the three princes' dislike for each other, they and their retinue barely turned into a fight when they gathered, but they soon realized that they didn't have enough people to deal with the remaining two groups at the same time, which reduced the fight to an insult to each other.

While the three groups were arguing, a fourth group finally arrived at the scene, and the leader of this group was none other than Zabi Urdas.

"Your Royal Highness, three princes, please don't be impatient, I have invited you here." Biliuurdas said in the loudest voice he could, otherwise he doubted that his voice would not reach the ears of this noisy crowd.

"What's going on? Mistress Pyruldas. The eldest prince, Hudmir, said, "Didn't you say that there was a grand hunt here attended by countless beautiful women?" How come it's just these two nasty guys? ”

"Who are you talking about hating, Shudmir!" Burgess immediately jumped out.

"Shut up, Borges! Let Hudmir finish his sentence. Chilkodham said.

Biliuurdas sighed secretly in his heart, he even doubted whether it was a wrong decision for him to ask the three of them out at the same time today, but on the surface, he had to say with a smile: "Your Royal Highnesses the three princes, it is true that you have told a small lie, but please believe that this is also a last resort, please listen carefully and explain the reason." ”

Since the Prime Minister had said so, the three princes could not leave him there to continue their abuse, not to mention that they were tired of scolding just now, and now they had to rest for a while.

Seeing that none of the three objected, Biliuurdas motioned to his men to take the three princes' retinues into the distance, and spread four blankets on the ground, and placed the wine and fruit they had brought, before he spoke, "Your Highness, please be seated." Before I explain why, I would like to ask the three highnesses a question. Do the three of them think that the joy of life is to drink and play with the beauties in the palace every day, go out to hunt on horseback, and occasionally go outside the palace to hunt those wild flowers? ”

"Of course!" The three princes replied in unison.

"It is clear that on this point, the three Highnesses do not disagree. With all due respect, the lives of His Majesty's other princes are not much different from those of the three Highnesses. Biliuurdas tilted the corners of his mouth and said, "So what is the premise for His Highness to be able to continue such a life?" ”

"The premise? The premise is, of course, that I'm a prince. Hudmir replied.

"Stupid! Of course, I can become a king so that I can continue to live like this! Chilcodham retorted.

"Agreed! Chilkodum was right. Borges said.

Biliuurdas nodded and said: "The three of them are all right, because the three are the sons of His Majesty, so they have today's privileged life, and it is precisely because there is only one position of the king, so the three highnesses will be so disgusted with each other, because you all want to sit on the throne of the king." But why don't you dislike the other princes as much as you do with each other? Of course, it's because the three of you are the oldest, and the queen mother is more honorable. Of course, the candidate for Your Majesty's succession in a hundred years should be among the three of you. ”

"That's right." The three of them spoke in unison again.

"But may I remind you of a question. That is, our Majesty is only forty-five years old now, and if nothing else, he should still be able to sit in this position for twenty years. And twenty years later, all of His Majesty's current princes are already adults. Wouldn't His Majesty's choice of heir change at that time? ”

Shudmir was taken aback and said, "Do you want me to rebel?" ”

"No, no, no, you're misunderstanding." Biliuurdas waved his hand again and again: "What I want to say is that twenty years later, His Royal Highness Diomas is already twenty-two years old, and his mother is also noble, and she also has the support of a considerable number of courtiers in the court, in this case, do the three have any advantages compared with His Royal Highness Diomas?" ”

When Pyruldas said this, the three princes were speechless. Even if they were addicted to wine, they could not be completely ignorant of the changes in the court, and Sulla's meteoric rise was indeed a threat to their position, especially as her son became an adult.

Seeing this, Biliuurdas said, "So, the biggest threat to the three at the moment is not actually each other, but the youngest brother. In my opinion, the three should abandon their preconceptions for now and unanimously fight against the biggest threat, if the three continue to be as incompatible as in the past, it will only give Princess Sulla the best opportunity to eradicate the three one by one, then she can more easily raise her son to become the heir to the king. ”

"She, she's dreaming!" Shudmir said angrily: "I will never allow this woman of unknown origin and her son to steal the throne of Arubania!" ”

"That's right! Never allowed! The two younger brothers also sided with the elder brother this time.

"That's right! The three highnesses, although the old minister is dull, will not sit back and watch this woman confuse His Majesty and hand over the country of Arubania to His Highness Diomas! ”

"Then what are we to do, Lord Bilyuurdas?" Shudmir asked eagerly.

"It's very simple, the three highnesses must continue to maintain the previous incompatible posture on the surface, so that Sulla will continue her previous conspiracy, and then she will inevitably arrange some schemes to exacerbate the contradictions between the three highnesses, and since the three highnesses have secretly joined forces, then her plan will not succeed, and her traces will be exposed, and when we catch her evidence, we can expose her ambitions and conspiracy to Your Majesty, as long as she falls, then Diomas, who is still a baby, will no longer be able to become a climate." Biliuurdas Road.

"I see, my lord, you invited us here today to avoid people's eyes and ears, so that the three of us can join forces." Borgeth Road.

Biliuurdas smiled slightly: "The old minister is also thinking about the status of His Highness." ”

The three princes looked thoughtful, then changed to a sudden smile, and all four raised their glasses at the same time. (To be continued.) )
