Xiao Chengyi laughed: "Whether you believe it or not, this is the fact.
You should thank me for killing Xiao Li, otherwise what awaits you in the end will definitely not be the king of the world, but a road to hell."
Xiao Yue was shocked and froze in place. The expression on his face gradually became chapped, and finally turned into despair and sadness.
He always thought that the people his father left for him were loyal to him, and even found a chess piece to be his substitute and do things for him, but in the end, he was the substitute.
Busy and busy, it turned out to be a joke, Xiao Yue knelt on the ground as if he was deeply shocked.
After a long time, he calmed down and looked up at Xiao Chongjun and asked: "Do you really believe in your nephew? Are you not afraid that he will be ambitious and take away your empire?"
Xiao Chongjun said solemnly: "So what? The country of Nanyue fell into Yi'er's hands. That is the blessing of the people."
Xiao Yue's eyes were a little complicated. He frowned and said, "How is this possible? You must be lying."
Who is willing to hand over the country that he has worked so hard to win into the hands of a foreigner? Even if Xiao Chengyi retains half of the blood of the Xiao royal family, it cannot change the fact that he is of Beichen Yuan family blood.
Xiao Chongjun laughed, and said to Xiao Yue: "As a king, you should take the world as your own responsibility. It doesn't matter what the name of the country is. What is important is whether the emperor has the ability to protect the people, let them live and work in peace and contentment, and the world is peaceful.
Yue'er, if you want the throne, you value the power that the throne brings to you. If you don't have the people in your heart, even if you get the throne, it will be taken away by others in the end.
Once you win this kingdom, you have to be able to hold it. You blame me for focusing on the prince and turning you into useless people.
But I'm just afraid that the tragedy of the Eight Kings Rebellion will happen again, and I don't want you to be too greedy for power. I want you to be a free prince in peace and stability, without having to shoulder such a heavy mission.
It's a pity that you don't understand my good intentions. You can ask the prince if he is willing to be the prince. Does he envy you?
When you were little, you were playing and amusing, and he was immersed in reading. You could sleep until you woke up naturally, but he had to get up before dawn to practice.
You can speak and act as you please and be as happy as you want, but he must behave himself and abide by his duties.
Do you think the position of prince is really that easy to achieve? You only saw his superficial glory, but you couldn't see his inner desolation."
Xiao Yue listened to his words quietly and couldn't help but think of his childhood.
Although he is a prince, he did not need to study hard when he was a child. He could play when he wanted and he could eat what he wanted.
But the prince was different. Every time the brothers saw him, he was reading, writing and practicing martial arts. In his memory, the prince didn't have a smile on his face at a young age.
One time, they couldn't stand it anymore and took the prince who was studying to play with crickets. As a result, they were not punished, but the prince was beaten.
Later, none of them dared to play with the prince anymore, and gradually the brothers became less close to each other.
Just as His Majesty said, they only envy the prince's status and that he can rule the world in the future, but they have never thought about how much suffering he has suffered because of this status, and what kind of burdens and missions he will bear in the future?
Xiao Yue sat on the ground in a daze, silent for a long time. Seeing this, Xiao Chongjun said nothing more, only waved his hand and said: "Take him down."
Xiao Yue was taken away by the guards, but he suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked: "Prince, is he... okay?"
Xiao Chengyi said in a calm voice: "It's okay. He fell into the river that day when he fell off the cliff. He was rescued by someone and is currently recovering from his injuries."
Xiao Yue nodded and asked Xiao Chengyi the last question: "I want to know, will you compete with the prince for this country?"
