Chapter 3 Choices

Three days later, the night had passed, and the sky was finally bright, and it was a peaceful morning, but today was too unusual for the people of the imperial capital of Tianyuan Kingdom.

Because the whole imperial capital city is really too quiet, the silence is incredible, the silence is unusual, and the silence is frightening.

Within the walls of that tall palace, there is a continuation of the unchanging struggle for thousands of years, the temptation of power, the right to control other life and death, stimulating generation after generation of people, everyone is crazy about this power, brothers are no longer brothers, father and son are no longer affectionate, but when you really get that power, will you really feel happy?

"Three Emperors, you won in the end!" a low voice with grief came from the magnificent golden hall.

An old man dressed in the robes of the Nine Dragons sat decadently on the dragon chair, his face was pale, and the gray hair on his head had now turned completely white, and in the middle of the night, he seemed to be ten years old.

At this time, on top of the splendid and huge golden hall, there was no one else except a kneeling person.

The man was dressed in heavy armor and looked like a dusty man, and he looked about twenty-seven or eighteen years old in appearance.

Although this person has an elegant appearance, he gives people a feeling of authority without anger, and he has a kingly demeanor, which makes people feel awe-inspired.

"Father, the eldest brother and the second brother have died in the hands of the son, and the son begged the father to give the son a death to pay tribute to the eldest brother and the second brother. The kneeling man wept bitterly, not in the slightest contrived.

The old man shook his head painfully and sighed and said, "Heaven's will!

I only have three sons in my life, you are all my pride, the eldest emperor Situ Haoyu's martial arts have the courage of ten thousand people, the second emperor's Situ Haoren is proficient in eight pianos, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they are not as good as your third emperor Situ Haotian, you are wise and brave and strategic, and the victory is thousands of miles away.

Without the three of you, our Situ family would not have dominated the heavens, and I would not have been able to become the Ninety-Five Emperor.

If I had known that this situation would have come into this, I would rather not be the emperor, and our Situ family would not fight for the world, I hope that your brothers will love each other in harmony. ”

Then the old man cried bitterly, and the old tears were all over the place.

The kneeling man raised his hand and drew his sword, put it on his neck, and cried: "The child deserves to die, so I will apologize to the royal brothers." ”

When the old man heard this, he reprimanded: "Rebel son, do you still want me to lose my only son?"

Then the old man began to gasp for breath rapidly, and the kneeling person didn't dare to speak, but just looked at the old man on the dragon chair with concern.

After a cup of tea, the old man gradually calmed down, and said lifelessly: "You are the same mother, you have grown up together since childhood.

I always thought it was my fault that you wouldn't be like the royal children in history.

Because of my stupidity, you brothers turned against each other, and this is God's punishment for me.

Third child, I know that you are forced to do so, our Situ family can dominate the Tianyuan Kingdom, and you have made great contributions.

I shouldn't have listened to the rumors that your eldest brother should be the crown prince according to the ancestral system, but I should let you inherit the throne.

Your eldest brother is not the best person to rule the world, and this makes them even more jealous of you, until they finally harm you, otherwise there will be no ending like today.

It's my fault, it's my fault. ”

The old man met again and wept bitterly, after which the two were silent.

The old man kept his head down and pondered something, as if he was reminiscing about the past, and as if he was thinking about something.

After a long time, the old man raised his head and looked at the kneeling man and said, "Third Emperor, your two imperial brothers have died, and your second brother's family has been slaughtered by your family in the last imperial capital riot, and now there is only one son left in your eldest brother, how will you treat this son?"

The kneeling man immediately swore: "I will certainly treat my nephew well, and I will certainly raise him well, and I will make him prosperous and prosperous all his life." ”

The old man finally showed a hint of relaxation, and then he nodded and said softly: "Third Emperor, you are still my benevolent and filial Third Emperor!"

I have already prepared an edict to you, and I will no longer be the emperor of the Heavenly Abyss Kingdom from tomorrow. ”

Suddenly, the old man's expression changed and he said fiercely: "But today I have to issue the last will, I know that your eldest brother and second brother did not die at your hands."

Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, I know the three emperors, you will not kill your own brothers, on Pingjing Mountain, they died at the hands of Bihai Qiu, I will pass the throne to you.

But I want everyone in the world to know that you didn't kill your brother and take the throne, so I want you to kill Bi Haichou, for the sake of my Situ family, for the stability of Tianyuan Country, Bi Haichou must die. ”

At this time, the man who had been kneeling suddenly stood up and shouted excitedly: "Father, no, no! Please, father, you know that Bihai is sorrowful, but I ------。 ”

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the old man.

The old man roared loudly: "I know that he is your sworn brother, and he is the only person you admire in this life.

Without him, you wouldn't be where you are today, and our Situ family wouldn't have been able to unify the Tianyuan Kingdom so smoothly.

But you must also know that he is also the one who killed your two brothers, and he is also the enemy of our Situ family.

If Bi Haichou is alive, how do you explain to the relatives of the Emperor of Tianyuan, how do you explain to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and how do you face your mother. ”

The old man raised his head again and sighed again, and then said calmly: "Whether to kill him, or force your father and mother to death, or let the Situ Dynasty fall, and the Tianyuan Kingdom will be ruined again, you can choose for yourself!"

Then the old man ignored the kneeling man, and he turned and walked towards the apse, where the man was the only one standing alone on the empty golden hall.

This person is the second emperor of the Situ Dynasty, Situ Haotian, who is known as the "Virtuous Emperor" in the history books.

At this time, on the Tianshui Bridge in the imperial capital of Tianyuan Kingdom, a young couple stood at the head of the bridge, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the lake.

The lady snuggled up in the man's arms, and a happy smile on her face made her peerless face even more charming.

The passers-by on and off the bridge, young and old, watched and fell in love with her beauty, and all the men envied the man beside the lady.

After seeing the beauty of the lady, people's eyes will naturally look at the man, and the first thing that comes into view is the white hair, and then the handsome face.

When people look at it, they can't help but sigh, why is such a handsome man with gray hair!

Neither man nor woman had spoken, and they stood there silently, as if they had forgotten the passage of time, the noise around them, the troubles of the world, and everything else, as if they were the only ones in this world.

At this time, a baby's cry came from beside them, and five steps behind them, there was a young girl holding a baby, who was whispering the child in her arms.

This girl is about twelve or thirteen years old, her big eyes are as charming as the moon in the sky, her snow-white skin is like clotted fat, her willow eyebrows are curved, and her jaw is pointed.

The beautiful woman turned around and stepped forward, took the baby into her arms, pinched the baby's face with her fingers, and smiled: "Little villain, won't you leave me for a while?"

At this time, her face was full of motherly love, and it was the most beautiful smile.

Strange to say, as soon as the child reached the woman's arms, he stopped crying and smiled innocently.

The white-haired man also stepped forward, pinched the baby's little nose with his hand, and said with some sighs: "I didn't expect it! The only man who can compete with me for the first beauty in the Heavenly Abyss Country is my son, alas!"

The beautiful woman whitened the man with her phoenix eyes and said, "Your master is really unlucky! There is a scoundrel like you, and the father actually eats his son's vinegar." ”

After hearing this, the white-haired man smiled and said, "Then why does Li Dacai only fall in love with this scoundrel?"

The beautiful woman shook her head and sneered: "Who said that, it's just that this girl is reporting the spirit of sacrificing herself to feed the tiger and turning you into an idiot." ”

The girl behind them couldn't help but snicker in a low voice after hearing this.

On this happy occasion, the beautiful woman suddenly remembered something, and then she was silent.

She just looked at the man affectionately, and the smile faded away, and then she looked down away from him.

The atmosphere froze suddenly, and after a while, she looked up at the man and said pleadingly, "Let's go! Let's go to a place where there is no strife, and no one can find us, okay?" ”

After hearing this, the man stroked his hand lovingly, and the woman's somewhat messy hair said: "Heart embroidery I have no regrets in this life, although I have given up the "way of heaven" and deviated from the teacher, but I don't regret it, because I love you."

As long as I can be with you, what is the "way of heaven"? It is not as good as a smile embroidered on my heart.

But I have failed my master's expectations! I can't repay his kindness to me.

So I have to do the second brother a favor, help the master do one last thing, and help the people of Tianyuan live a truly peaceful life.

The Tianyuan Kingdom has been unified, and I don't want to see the people displaced again in the midst of water and fire.

I can't be so selfish, this is irresponsible, and with the teaching of the master, I can't let the second brother fall into such a situation, and the future of the Tianyuan Kingdom depends on him. ”

When the man said this, he didn't dare to look at the woman next to him anymore, he turned his head sideways and said, "Xinxiu, I'm sorry for you, I took an oath with you." ”

The woman's eyes were already moist, and she held back the tears in her eyes and said, "Don't you think about "Tian'er"?

You have lost your parents since you were a child, and you know what it is like to not have a father's love, do you want your son to continue to experience that pain like you?"

The man lowered his head in pain and touched the child's face, looked at the child's innocent appearance and said: "He is my son of Bihai Chou, he can also create his own future, I would rather let him miss his father every day than let him have a selfish father." ”

The man turned away from the boy and said confidently, "My son will be able to become a generation of heavenly pride, and his achievements will not be below me." ”

Then he said in a voice that only he could hear: "Son, I really want to watch you grow up!" The man's eyes were already full of tears, and the man secretly wiped the tears from his eyes with his hand and said: "Xinxiu, you must take care of the heavens! What I owe you in this life, I will definitely repay in the next life." ”

Then he ignored the woman's call and walked down the bridge quickly.

The sun sets, and a piece of golden light reflects the Tianyuan Imperial Capital. Bi Haichou walked on the street of the imperial capital, looking at the busy figures of the people is so peaceful, the war is over.

People returned to a peaceful life and began to recuperate, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

Bi Hai couldn't help but envy such a life, if he could spend his life with Xinxiu so plainly, how happy it would be! Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing.

At last he came to his senses, and could only sigh again.
