Chapter 600 Another Death Case
The two put their palms together to Li Canghai, chanted the Buddha's name, and then left the hall.

"Cang Hai, this is really great. Datang has sent [-] reinforcements. This time, we will be able to drive the Japanese pirates back to their hometown!" Silla King said excitedly.

Li Canghai nodded and said, "However, the mountain is blocked by heavy snow right now, and a hundred thousand troops cannot come to Jincheng. This can also be used as a surprise soldier."

King Silla said excitedly: "I'm relieved now, haha, that's great! Great!"

That night, the King of Silla helped Li Yu clean up the dust.

However, the Dongying army was trapped by heavy snow and lacked warm clothes, so more than a hundred people froze to death.

The Dongying army gradually began to lose morale due to the burning of food and grass, lack of clothing and food, and this was what Silla was most happy to see.

Taking advantage of the heavy snow blocking the Japanese army, the people of Jincheng were finally relieved temporarily from the tense life and death, and breathed a sigh of relief.

In the royal palace, the bustle of the past was gradually restored.

A book of memorials was sent to the king of Silla, which recorded the casualties in various places.

Judging from the memorials, the Japanese army captured two-thirds of Silla's territory.

Nearly [-] people were killed and injured, which can be said to be the heaviest death and injury in Silla since the founding of the country.

More than [-] of these people were killed by Dongying's method of crossing the city and massacring the city.

The mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, the hatred of the country and the family, made the king of Silla grow old a lot overnight.

On this day, Di Qing pushed Li Canghai to enjoy the snow in the garden, but when she passed by the imperial study, she was stopped by the king of Silla.

Entering the royal study, Li Canghai felt a little unbearable when he saw the haggard face of the King of Silla.

"Brother Wang, how long have you not rested? Why are you so haggard?" Li Canghai asked.

King Silla put down the memorial, coughed a few times, and said, "Cang Hai, I have something to say to you."

"Brother Wang, please speak."

The King of Silla waved his hand and asked all the guards to retreat, leaving only the three of them in the room.

"Brother Wang, what's the matter?" Li Canghai was a little surprised.

King Silla walked to the table beside him, poured a glass of water for the two of them, and said seriously, "Cang Hai, what do you think of my sons?"

Li Canghai was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the King of Silla to ask this.

After thinking for a while, Li Canghai said: "The eldest prince is resolute and has the air of a king. The second prince is full of economics and knows how to govern the country. Although the third prince is young, he is also a dragon and phoenix. Why did brother Wang suddenly ask this?"

The king of Silla did not answer him, but asked instead: "If you were to choose one of them to inherit my throne, who do you think is the most suitable?"

Li Canghai frowned suddenly.

"Brother Wang, you are strong and strong now, why did you suddenly mention the matter of inheriting the throne?"

King Silla sighed, and said, "Canghai, no one knows my own condition better than me. My body is about to fail. In fact, before you came, I was seriously injured. Although I am lucky enough to survive, But it didn't last long."

"Brother Wang is as blessed as the heavens, and he will be safe and sound." Li Canghai said solemnly.

King Silla shook his head and sighed: "Canghai, as the king of Silla, I failed to protect my own people. I don't regret my death. But Silla will never be destroyed in my hands. Fortunately, I still have How many sons, among you, among them, who is more suitable to inherit the throne?"

Seeing the seriousness of King Silla, Li Canghai sighed and said, "Brother Wang, you must have the best candidate in your heart, right?"

"That's right, I do have candidates in mind. But I want to know what you think of them." King Silla stared at him and said.

Li Canghai thought for a while and said, "Among the princes, the ones who are capable must be the first prince and the second prince. According to my observation, the first prince has a resolute personality and seems to have a high prestige in the army, while the second prince is full of knowledge and knowledge. Benevolence and righteousness, it is really difficult to choose between these two. If it comes to leading troops to fight, naturally the eldest prince is the most suitable. If it comes to governing the country, it is naturally the second prince."

"That's right, Xitai is good at martial arts, and Xiyuan is good at literature. They are indeed each with their own merits. Among them, they are indeed the ones who win my heart." King Silla nodded.

Li Canghai said: "Brother Wang's favorite candidate must be between the two of them, right?"

The King of Silla didn't speak, but walked up to the dragon case, took out a long brocade box from a pile of memorials, and said, "Cang Hai, I want to entrust this to you for safekeeping."

Li Canghai took the brocade box, frowned and said, "What is this?"

The King of Silla shook his head. He did not answer Li Canghai's question, but said seriously: "Canghai, what I am most worried about is that after my death, the princes will fight each other for the throne. If this day really comes , I hope you can help me resolve this calamity."

Speaking of this, the King of Silla said deeply: "Foreign enemies will unite the entire Silla, and internal strife is the root of the country's destruction!"

Seeing his serious expression, Li Canghai couldn't bear to refuse, so he nodded in response.

The two talked about some messy things again, and Li Canghai and Di Qing didn't go back to their rooms until night was approaching.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Canghai was still asleep, but was awakened suddenly by a burst of crying.

At this moment, Di Qing suddenly rushed in.

"Qing'er, what happened?" Seeing Di Qing's hasty expression, Li Canghai was a little surprised, thinking that the Japanese army had come to attack the city.

"Canghai, something serious has happened! The King of Silla...is dead!" Di Qing walked quickly to the bed, and while changing his clothes, said solemnly.

"What?" Li Canghai screamed suddenly.

"What's going on?" Li Canghai asked hurriedly.

While changing his clothes, Di Qing said: "I don't know either. I just went out to practice swords. When I passed the Buddhist hall, I found a servant sitting in front of the door trembling. I went up to ask, but his face was pale. , Pointing to the Buddhist hall, I looked along the crack of the door, only to find that...the king of Silla died before the Buddha statue."

Li Canghai casually put on a cape of ferret fur, and immediately asked Di Qing to push him forward.

The Buddhist hall is located in the back garden of the royal palace. It is well known that the king of Silla would come to the Buddhist hall to chant sutras every night.

When he came to the back garden, he saw a group of princes and courtiers kneeling at a distance of more than [-] feet from the Buddhist hall, weeping.

Di Qing said: "I was afraid they would destroy the scene, so I ordered people to stop them all."

Li Canghai nodded in relief. The death of the King of Silla would definitely cause an uproar. What he was most worried about was that the scene would be destroyed.

Unexpectedly, Di Qing had already thought of this point, which really surprised him.

After experiencing so many things with Li Canghai, Di Qing's thoughts became more delicate.
