Chapter 782 Li Dan seeks death, San Lang passes away
Li Dan still smiled and did not scold his son for his rebelliousness and lack of conscience as usual.
He was like a kind father teaching his son how to drink tonight.
When faced with his son Li Longji's question, Li Dan did not answer, but instead signaled his son to drink the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Li Longji was completely furious. He cried out, "Dad!!"
Li Dan had no reaction and continued to signal Li Longji to drink.
"Dad, why can't you spare my life? Why? If I did something wrong, please tell me!"
Li Longji was on the verge of collapse. He put down his wine glass and burst into tears.
He looked very pitiful when he was shouting at the top of his lungs, but this still failed to arouse Li Dan's fatherly love.
Li Dan smiled and said, "My son is already eleven years old this year."
"After being the emperor's grandson for eleven years, my son should be content. Now, the family needs him. How can he escape?"
Upon hearing this, Li Longji cried even harder.
He couldn't understand what was going on. His father was actually going to take him, who was only eleven years old, to the underworld!
Is he still his father's biological son?
"Dad, I am innocent!" Li Longji cried.
Li Dan put down the wine glass, rubbed Li Longji's little head, and put Li Longji's hands back on the wine glass.
"Sanlang, if you hadn't shown such ambition at such a young age, your father wouldn't have killed you, right?"
"Think carefully about it. A few years ago, when you were just six or seven years old, what did you say to your father?"
"You said, why should we give up our family's throne to outsiders? We should work hard to take back our family's throne and let me sit on it. Do you remember?"
Li Longji was speechless.
He couldn't speak.
He couldn't refute his father either.
Because he did say this back then.
He was just over six years old at that time and still young, but he was always influenced by the idea that his drunk grandmother would take away his father's throne. Coupled with the turbulent political situation, he was exposed to these things early on.
That time, he seriously told his father that they should take back the throne, but he didn't expect that his father not only did not agree, but instead took his life for this matter several years later.
"Why, Saburo, you say there's no way to refute it?"
Li Dan smiled and helped Li Longji raise the wine glass.
"Sanlang, you are very smart, but your ambition should not be exposed so early. In order for our Li family to eliminate most of the Wu family members, you can only accompany your father to hell."
"As a father, I don't want you to be this slippery fish, and then suddenly choose to rise up in arms one day and seize your uncle Cunxi's throne, making our lineage infamous."
Li Longji's tears rolled down, and his desire to survive was overflowing.
"Dad, Dad, I will never seize the throne from Uncle Qin Wang. I swear to you, okay? I swear to all our ancestors!"
"If I dare to seize the throne from Uncle Qin, I will be killed without a burial place, okay?"
Li Dan stopped what he was doing and looked at Li Longji with a smile.
He raised this good son by himself. Even after becoming emperor, he had no real power and could only eat, drink, play and spend time with his wife and children.
It can be said that he witnessed Li Longji's growth.
This son is smart and courageous. He even dares to encourage his mother to seize the throne from him. His ambition is indeed huge.
He was worried about leaving a son like this alive in the world.
If one day Li Longji secretly accumulates strength and raises an army to seize Li Cunxi's throne, it would be fine if he succeeds, but if not, his entire lineage would probably be wiped out.
Even if Li Cunxi was merciful enough to spare one or two of his descendants, it is still unknown how many people in the court would kill their entire family just to please Li Cunxi.
Therefore, in order to ensure the survival of his carefully selected mediocre descendants, he had to learn from his mistakes and take the wise Sanlang away.
Thinking of this, Li Dan laughed and said:
"Sanlang, you just said that if you dare to seize the throne from your uncle, the King of Qin, you will be killed without a burial place?"
"But after I die, even if you really rob me, what can I do as a father?"
"You'd better give up this idea and follow me. I have discussed with your uncle that the two families will keep the family lineage, and you should go with me."
Li Dan had made up his mind when facing his third son, whom he loved the most.
"To ensure that eight out of ten of the Wu family's current generation will be buried with our Li clan heirs, your uncles and I have invested a huge amount of money!"
"You are my most beloved child. If you don't die, how can they believe that it was Prince Wu who sent people to plot against us?"
Li Longji looked at his father with an expression of disbelief, feeling that his father today was much more unfamiliar than before.
This weak and incompetent father seemed to be possessed by someone else. He actually wanted to use the lives of everyone in the mansion in exchange for the emperor's order to eliminate most of the princes of the Wu family!
What was the ultimate purpose of this move? Li Longji figured it out after a quick thought.
If this paves the way for Qin Wang Li Cunxi, after Qin Wang Li Cunxi ascends the throne, he will not need to personally kill most of the princes of the Wu family. This will leave him with a good reputation!
"Dad, is it worth it for a refugee?"
Li Longji's eyes were blurred with tears, and he looked up at Li Dan opposite him.
Li Dan remained unchanged. Facing such a poor child, he raised the wine glass in his hand.
"The fact that you can say this shows that you are still unconvinced and that you still look down on your Uncle Cunxi."
"Sanlang, in this case, I can no longer keep you. To prevent civil war among the Li clan in the future, just follow Dad with peace of mind."
"Someone is coming."
Li Dan just greeted them softly, and several people pushed open the door and walked in from outside.
After these people came in, they stood on Li Longji's left and right, and one person stood behind Li Longji.
"Feed Sanlang some poisoned wine. He doesn't want to be decent. Please help him be decent."
After Li Dan finished speaking, he held the wine glass in front of him with both hands and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking the glass of wine, he said expressionlessly:
"Your Majesty persecuted the heirs of the Li clan, and the princes of the Wu clan followed suit!"
"I, Li Dan, will die today at the hands of Wu Yizong, the Prince of Hanoi!"
As soon as these words were spoken, someone outside the door immediately stood up and left.
With the dim moonlight, one can see that there are almost no survivors in Prince Xiang's Mansion.
Even Princess Xiang and several children of Li Dan had died in the restaurant. It seemed that there was poison in the unfinished food.
The person who left Prince Xiang's Mansion was a young man. He hurried to the Fangzhou Governor's Mansion to report what happened in Prince Xiang's Mansion to the Fangzhou Governor.
The instigator, Li Dan, smiled as he watched several big men pour poisoned wine into Li Longji's stomach.
After doing this, several big men went out to get poisoned wine, drank it and died in the yard, disguising the scene of death from drinking slowly taking effect poison wine.
