"Edict of succession?" The eldest prince and the others looked at each other in surprise. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Uncle Wang? Is this really an edict of succession? The eldest prince asked in surprise.

Li Canghai glanced at them, and these people were all staring at the scroll in their hands, and they seemed to attach great importance to it.

"Yes, this is indeed an edict of enthronement. It said that if Brother Wang drove the crane to the west, let ....... Speaking of this, Li Canghai deliberately paused and looked at the few people who were obviously a little nervous.

"Let the third prince Xizhen inherit the throne." Li Canghai said lightly.

As soon as these words came out, several people were stunned at the same time.

Xizhen was even more dazed, he pointed to his nose, and said a little overwhelmed: "Me? Uncle Wang, are you mistaken? ”

Li Canghai glanced at him, then showed the edict to a few people, and said: "You should recognize your father's handwriting, take a look, is this handwriting fake?" ”

Although the three of them were a little surprised, they all looked towards the edict.

After the second prince Xiyuan looked at it carefully, he said, "Uncle Wang, this is indeed written by my father's own hand. ”

The eldest prince's face was obviously a little strange, he looked at the edict in a daze, and then looked at the third prince Xizhen, frowning slightly.

"No, no, no, no. Father must have made a mistake. I am still young, I am not as good as the eldest brother in martial arts, and I am not as good as the second brother in terms of talent and learning, how can my father pass the throne to me? It must have been written by my father incorrectly! The third prince was at a loss and waved his hand again and again.

"Hee-jeong, since my father has passed on the throne to you, you will be the lord of my Silla in the future." The second prince Xiyuan knelt down to the third prince and said, "The minister sees the king!" ”

The eldest prince hesitated, and then bowed down.

The third prince was startled, he hurriedly helped the two of them up, and said at a loss: "Brother Wang, Brother Second Wang, I can't deserve this king!" Still, it's up to you! ”

"Hee-jeong, this is my father's last wish, and if my father makes you the lord of Silla, there must be a reason for my father. If you give it to us, won't we be in trouble? The eldest prince said.

"This ...... This....... The third prince was so anxious that he almost cried, and he looked at Li Canghai as if he was busy asking for help.

Li Canghai glanced at him and muttered, "Since it is the last will left by your father, you are the king of Silla." ”

"But I'm still very young...... Whether in terms of talent or status, it should be succeeded by two royal brothers! The third prince blinked with a pair of innocent eyes and said.

"Xizhen, since my father has chosen you, it means that you have this ability, don't worry, we will do our best to assist you." The second prince patted the third prince on the shoulder and said seriously.

"This ...... All right. The third prince hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. He looked at Li Canghai and said seriously: "Uncle Wang, my father's bones are not cold, I want to wait for my father's burial before holding a succession ceremony." ”

Li Canghai nodded and said: "This is as it should be, it is an eventful time now, the succession can be postponed, and the most important thing is to find out the truth about Brother Wang's death, and to prevent the Dongying army from sneaking attack." ”

After a pause, Li Canghai sighed and said, "This edict will stay with me first, and you will go and arrange the funeral of Brother Wang first!" ”

"Uncle Wang, then we will retire." After several people saluted Li Canghai, they walked out with the third prince in their arms.

"Canghai, why did the king of Silla let a boy who was no more than fifteen years old inherit the throne? I think the eldest prince and the second prince are more suitable for this throne! Di Qing said.

"Maybe this is what Brother Wang did on purpose! Originally, I thought that someone had killed Brother Wang and then forged this edict, but after they identified it, it was confirmed that it was written by Brother Wang himself, and this suspicion was dispelled. Li Canghai groaned.

"Canghai, are you suspicious of them?" Di Qing asked.

Li Canghai frowned slightly, and while he was sorting out the folds on the table, he said: "This is not true, after all, they are all the sons of Brother Wang's own sons, and they will not do such a father-killing act." ”

But at this moment, Li Canghai suddenly found that one of the books was a little bloody.

He picked the fold out of the middle, then unfolded it and looked at it.

This is a book about the destruction of the castle, and the handwriting on the book was written by the king of Silla.

On the fold, there was a pool of blood, and the blood stained the entire fold with blood, and what surprised Li Canghai was that the lower right corner of the fold was the size of a thumb, and there was no blank space splashed by blood.

Li Canghai suddenly remembered that when he was examining the corpse of King Silla, there was some dried blood on the back of the thumb of King Silla's right hand.

"Could it be that this is the blood of the royal brother? But why is it here? ”

Li Canghai looked at the blood on the fold, and a picture gradually appeared in front of him.

The king of Silla was watching the casualties in various places, when suddenly someone walked in and stabbed him in the chest with a golden toad sword with lightning speed.

The sword pierced through his chest, and the king of Silla spat blood from his mouth, and the blood sprayed on the fold, splashing right on the thumb of his right hand.

However, Li Canghai immediately shook his head again.

If this is the case, it means that the king of Silla died in the imperial study, not in the Buddhist hall.

And there are a lot of things that don't make sense.

First of all, the murder weapon that killed the king of Silla, the golden toad sword, has been sealed in the treasure house, and the key to the treasure house is kept by the king of Silla.

Secondly, after the murderer killed Silla, why did he transfer his body to the Buddhist hall?

Moreover, the most important point is that the golden toad sword is inserted into the chest of the king of Silla from the front, which shows that when the murderer killed, he was standing directly opposite the king of Silla.

The fact that a person can stand directly opposite the king of Silla is enough to show that the murderer is a very important person, and he is very familiar.

And there were not many people in this palace who could stand so close to him.

This made him think of several princes for a moment, but after a moment of contemplation, he rejected the idea that the king of Silla died here.

Because, the footprints in front of the Buddha Hall clearly indicate that he was alive when he left the imperial study and went to the Buddha Hall.

Li Canghai rubbed his eyebrows, although he suspected that the king of Silla was murdered to death, all kinds of signs indicated that the king of Silla committed suicide!

Because, apart from the huge Buddha statue that no one could move, there is no evidence that the king of Silla died in murder.

"Curse killing? How can there be such a ridiculous thing in this world? There must be something I've overlooked. Li Canghai thought about it, and then asked Di Qing to push himself back to the Imperial Garden again.

In the small courtyard of the Buddha Hall, Li Canghai was sitting in the snow facing the Buddha Hall, staring at the row of footprints on the snow in front of him, and fell into deep thought. (To be continued.) )
