Chapter 603: Great Rebellion?
"You are good at heavenly craftsmanship, and you have also helped your second brother frame calligraphy and paintings, and you are most familiar with all kinds of tools, except for you, who can use those things freely? Say, did you kill your father? The eldest prince said indignantly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Third brother...... Do you still want to deny it? Why are you doing these rebellious things? The second prince Xiyuan had tears in his eyes, stared at him and asked.
"I ...... I didn't! I didn't kill my father...... My father died from a recurrence of an old injury, not by me! The third prince shook his head desperately, and suddenly knelt in front of the coffin of King Silla and began to cry.
"What's going on?" Hearing this, Li Canghai frowned slightly and asked.
"That night, my father called me to the imperial study and told me that he wanted to leave the throne to the two royal brothers, and planned to send me to Datang as a proton to thank Datang for sending troops to save me. I'm not convinced! My father has so many sons, why did he want me to be a proton? Where am I not as good as the two royal brothers? In terms of intelligence, I don't lose to the second brother at all, and in terms of martial arts, I don't lose to the eldest brother, why can't I inherit the throne? The third prince clenched his fists and roared in a low voice.
"Just because of this, you did such a rebellious thing and killed your father?" The eldest prince glared at him angrily and shouted.
"I ...... I didn't kill my father. His father died from a recurrence of an old injury...... I just took advantage of my father's death ....... The third prince gasped.
The eldest prince was furious, and he roared: "The third one! You unfilial son, what's going on? Make it clear to me! ”
The third prince smiled helplessly, and he said to Li Canghai: "Uncle Wang, you are right. Except for the murder of my father, I did everything else. I thought that I would inherit the throne by the death of my father...... Unexpectedly, he failed to escape Uncle Wang's eyes. Everything was as Uncle Wang said, I dragged the Buddha statue to the door with ice cubes and blocked the door. Originally, I thought that in this way, everyone would believe that my father died from the curse of the Golden Toad Sword. But Uncle Wang and the second brother always believed that their father was killed, so in order to make everyone believe in the curse of the golden toad sword, they pretended to be the eldest brother, burned the side hall, and threw the carved ice tripod into the sea of fire, so as to create the illusion of infinite power to everyone. ”
"That doesn't make sense! You're half a foot taller than the Great Prince, how did you pretend to be him? Li Yu asked.
"Does it matter?" The third prince's face turned pale, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Actually, I made a half-foot-high wooden frame and put it on my shoulders, and then put on my battle armor, and then put the helmet with hair on the shelf, so that it is similar to the height of the eldest brother. After throwing the ice tripod into the flames, I took advantage of the darkness to escape. On the surface, I was heading towards the Strange Rock Garden, but in fact I fled to the Snow and Bamboo Forest on the side, and only after hiding my armor and other items did I go to the Strange Stone Garden. ”
"So, in order to make us believe in the curse and kill, you did not hesitate to take the life of the eldest brother?" The second prince stared at him, his eyes wide open.
"I ...... I didn't want to kill the big brother......! The third prince's voice became lower and lower.
Li Canghai sighed and said, "He just wanted to take the opportunity to make Xitai lose his prestige, and he didn't want to kill him. Although Xitai was cut his wrists, he did not hurt his arteries, if he really wanted to kill Xitai, he could have killed him with a sword, there was no need for this. ”
"Third brother...... You've always been well-behaved and sensible, why did you suddenly become like this? Now that Silla is no longer a country, even if you inherit the throne, what can you do? Why are you so confused? To do such a great rebellion! "The eldest prince Xitai hated the authenticity.
"My father always thought that I was inferior to you, and that he ruled the country with kindness, but what happened? was beaten to Jincheng by Dongying, and the people were killed and injured countless times! It's all the result of my father's decision! I know I've always been a piece of waste in your eyes, but I'm not! I also know that my father will not pass on to me, but the eldest brother is martial and easy to be impulsive. The two royal brothers are indecisive, they all have their own shortcomings, and they are not suitable candidates for the emperor. In your eyes, it may be that I covet the throne, but I don't! I can't watch Silla annihilate the country, I want Dongying to know the fate of the invasion of Silla, and I want to let the Silla country be forever! The third prince's tone gradually increased, and his face became even more excited.
Everyone fell silent, no one spoke, and only the impassioned words of the third prince echoed throughout Jingyang Palace.
"You're wrong." At this time, Li Canghai suddenly sighed with a regretful face, he looked at the third prince who seemed to be in a frenzy, and said, "Xizhen, you are so sorry for your father's expectations!" Do you know how I know that this edict is false? Because, the true edict, your father handed it to me early in the morning! ”
As soon as these words came out, there were another wave of ups and downs.
Li Canghai took out the slender brocade box given to him by the king of Silla from the table, and said deeply: "This is what your father asked me to keep when he was alive, at first I didn't know what it was, until I opened it, I didn't know that it was his last edict." It is this edict that makes me suspicious of you, so take it and see it for yourself! ”
As he spoke, Li Canghai took out the edict inside and handed it to him.
The third prince was slightly stunned, then reached out and took it, and after unfolding it, he looked at the edict on it carefully, but when he finished reading it, his hands suddenly trembled violently.
"This ...... That's impossible! The third prince was short of breath, his face was ugly, and the edict in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.
"What's impossible?" Li Yu picked up the edict curiously, and after reading it, he suddenly exclaimed: "The edict of the king of Silla actually says that the third prince Hee-jeong will inherit the throne?" ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar.
"Sir, this edict can't also be made of fragments, right?" Li Yu asked in surprise.
"This edict was personally handed over to me by Brother Wang the night before his death, and there is absolutely no falsehood." Li Canghai looked at the third prince who was stunned in place, and said seriously: "Xizhen, what you said is right, Xitai and Xiyuan do have their own shortcomings. You are different from them, and at first, I also wondered, why did Brother Wang hand over the throne to you? But now, I know that you are thoughtful, far beyond the reach of others. If you can put such careful thought into the country, it will surely make Silla stronger. ”
"Original...... My father has always valued me, and he did not despise me...... But why did my father want me to go to Datang to be a proton? The third prince said in a bitter voice, muttering to himself.
"When Brother Wang handed over this edict to me, he was worried that Silla would fall into the chaos of the sons seizing the heirs after he returned to heaven, and he asked you to go to the Tang Dynasty as a proton, but in fact, it was to protect you and let you return to Silla at the right time." Li Canghai glanced at him and said deeply. (To be continued.) )
