Xiong Liang didn't shake his mind a little, so many favorite concubines of Shangchen couldn't take care of him, and he would be taken seriously one day.

"The ministers have no opinion, those old ministers don't want to see me, so they look at me more and more unpleasantly, what can I do."

"That's how you speak to the king."

"Erchen doesn't dare."

"I only need a word from you, if you still want the position of prince, I will help you keep it, if you don't want it, you can be abolished now." Shang Chen's tone was stern, and he had no emotion to speak of.

But the bear couple has become accustomed to his ruthlessness, and today is the first time that he will speak ill of himself.

Xiong Lu arched his hand: "Forgive Erchen for bluntly saying that Erchen has no intention of becoming the prince, and he asked his father to choose someone else." The bear couple spoke very loudly, and he could hear it very clearly inside and outside the house, and the trickle outside the door could also hear it very clearly.

"Ahem, ahem......" Shang Chen coughed into a ball, and it took him a long time to catch his breath, but after the gasp, he laughed wildly, and the hoarseness in his voice slowly turned into a terrifying shrill laugh, laughing at himself and laughing at the bears.

If he is not a prince, this son is not a prince, he can't look down on ...... Shang Chen thought so in his heart, in order to protect the position of the prince, he killed his father and killed his brother, and did everything against the sky, and now his son disdains to be the prince, which is a denial of his bloody ascension all the way to the top, and it is a great shame: "Why don't you want to be the prince?" ”

"Father, grandpa didn't let you succeed to the throne at the beginning and now you let me succeed to the throne is the same, it is difficult for a strong man, the son is cowardly, the son does not have the courage and ambition to ascend to the throne, and he is under pressure from extraordinary people, I am afraid that he will not be able to take the position of the crown prince......"

Shang Chen has no strength to fight for words, he is about to come to the end of his life, the most important thing is to pass the throne to the right person, no one knows better than him, Xiong Lu is the successor, Gongzi Xie, Zi Yan and Ying Qi...... They are not comparable, people are dying and their words are good, his heart will be much softer, reflecting on the past, the ruthlessness of the merchant turned into a rare calm at this moment: "Ziban, you have always remembered, you have always blamed me, right." ”

Xiong Lu was a little surprised, Shang Chen used to call Xiong Lu the prince stereotypedly, but today he called his character, "Zi Companion", this expression was called by his grandfather Chu Cheng Wang when he was a child, and no one called him that way after that. Memories of the past flooded back to their hearts, and the bear couple held back the pain in their hearts and did not reveal it as always.

"Don't dare."

"Don't pretend, I know, you blame me for becoming the king of Chu......" Shang Chen was silent for a moment: "Blame me for killing your grandfather." ”

"The sons and daughters don't dare, the king of Chu is his father's, his father obeys the mandate of heaven, obeys the law of his ancestors, and deserves to succeed to the throne, how can his sons blame his father, how dare he have a great rebellious heart." Xiong Couple's words are conclusive and reasonable, but the tone of his speech is like complaining.

"Isn't the prince afraid of death?" Shang Chen's tone was like the threat he had to bear couples when he witnessed his father killing his grandfather as a child.

Xiong Lu's eyes gradually dimmed, and he was at ease, even if Shang Chen treated him well for the time being, his nature was difficult to change, he thought about such a day, but he came early and late. The father even dared to kill his grandfather, not to mention killing his own son, the blood of the royal family is cold-blooded, it is better to die, and he will no longer vote for the emperor's family in the next life.

"Dying in the hands of my father is not in vain for this life given by my father, if my father wants to let my son die, my son has only one request, I don't want to be a hanged ghost, even if my son dies, he has to die more beautiful and romantic." The tone was dejected and free, as if he was recounting a normal thing.

Oh, the merchant sneered, lowered his eyes and thought, the meaning of Xiong Liang's words could not be more obvious, mocking his father for forcing his grandfather to hang himself. The two of them were silent, as if they were still, and after a long time, Shang Chen said to Xiong Liang soothingly: "The people keep shouting to this king, 'King Chu Wannian', but I know that I can't live that long, sooner or later I will go down to accompany your grandfather, if I leave one day, you can be so indignant, and I will die without regrets." ”

Shang Chen rarely showed his weak side, which made the bear couple overwhelmed. He has suppressed his resentment against his father for a long time, and his father's cruelty, ferocity, and viciousness are vivid in his mind, and he is terrified, but he has never felt his father's care. Now, in front of his eyes, his father spoke his heart for the first time, and for the first time he showed vulnerability, he felt a little strange, a little reluctant, and afraid of fleeting......

"The father's grace is in the sky, it will be a long life, and the father's merits are here, why care if there are people who admire and respect it, and maintain it, and their own merits and demerits have their own sweat and green comments." This is both pertinent and slightly comforting.

Shang Chen used his only remaining strength to begin to tell the knot of his heart for many years: "This king was also just for self-preservation, to tell the truth, my desire for royal power is not as strong as survival, but it just so happens that royal power is equal to survival." At the beginning, your grandfather wanted to abolish my position as the crown prince and set up a son-in-law, if I was abolished, I would be subservient to others for the rest of my life, and the son-in-law would also try his best to eliminate my hidden danger. Ahem...... Everything was forced by your grandfather, who gave me two paths, one is the road to kingship, and the other is the road to hell where life is worse than death. I don't want to go into exile in another country, and I don't want to go to the north. I have no choice but to force me to kill him, and if I don't kill him, I will die in the end. ”

Shang Chen rested his head on the chair, took a breath and continued: "The only way out is to kill your grandfather, his ruthlessness makes my heart unfilial and unrighteous. ”

Sunlight shines through the fan, casting a diamond-shaped light and shadow on the room, dyeing it a warm orange. Shang Chen's head was lowered, sweat oozed from his forehead, his body was overwhelmed by the long conversation, he was already terminally ill, still holding on, slowly panting.

After listening to this, Xiong Lu had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know where to start with a thousand words, he didn't think about the reason for the Shangchen's rebellion, he had always thought that his grandfather was a victim, and his father was murderous in order to usurp the throne and compete for power. Father hateful, but he also has pity, everything has a cause and effect, even if the father is cruel and tyrannical, at this time he is also dying, weak and lonely: "Father, son, ......" As soon as he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say, comfort, apologize, or sympathize?

Shang Chen beckoned the bear couple to approach, and pointed to the hunting convoy below: "You see that roe deer moves quickly, in order to survive, for many years to avoid beasts stronger than themselves, hunting beasts weaker than themselves, they run hard, seeking advantages and avoiding harm......"

Xiong Lu looked in the direction of Shang Chen's hand.
