This news shocked all the officials in the court, and King Beidi's expression instantly became fierce, and his eyes were extremely cold.

The late King of Beidi never publicly admitted that he had six sons. There was once a little guard whom he loved very much and kept with him every day. Because his appearance and temperament were very similar to his, everyone secretly guessed that he Could it be the illegitimate son of the old Beidi King?

The sixth prince's statement was made by some people when they were joking in private, and there is no solid evidence.

But even so, in order to ascend to the throne, the third prince at that time showed no mercy to this guard of unknown origin, and burned him to death in the room.

After all, he had killed all his brothers, and he could not let go of this one, whether it was true or false.

That night, the fire burned for several hours, and when the little guard was found, he had been burned into a skeleton.

Although the old Beidi King never acknowledged his identity, he was still furious because of his death. He killed no less than a hundred people in the palace, from the steward to the night guards.

Everyone believed that if he had not left the third prince with only one son, he would have killed the third prince without hesitation.

Because he didn't like this third son with a violent temper.

He also knew full well that the third prince killed other brothers.

Later, not long after the death of the little guard, the old Beidi King also became depressed and died of illness. The third prince naturally took the throne.

People said that the death of the old Beidi King was most likely caused by the third prince. With his cruelty and cold-bloodedness, it was only natural to kill his own father.

But no matter what, the third prince became the new king of Beidi, and no one could do anything to him.

He was lustful, cruel, and murderous. As soon as he came to power, he began to wage war against neighboring countries, burning, killing and plundering everywhere, infinitely expanding the territory of his country, and even ambitiously wanted to dominate the world and become the only king of the world.

Therefore, after annexing several small surrounding countries, he set his sights on the territory of Dayan.

Two hundred years ago, his ancestors were beaten into submission by Emperor Xihe, the great ancestor of Dayan, and they signed a contract never to infringe on Dayan's borders.

Although after the death of Emperor Xihe, the Beidi people often went to the border to plunder, but few were able to break through Yanyun Pass.

Even if they break through, they will soon be expelled by Dayan's cavalry before they can go deeper.

In the eyes of the new Beidi King, this is simply a great shame.

Just when he was thinking about how to start a war against Dayan, Dayan's elder He Pingchuan took the initiative to send his confidants to come to him and wanted to negotiate a deal with him. He said that after the deal was completed, he could cede ten northwest counties as a reward.

He happily accepted such a good deal, and secretly made up his mind to wait until he obtained the ten northwest counties, then continue southward and attack Dayan Imperial City in one fell swoop.

Speaking of which, his army was about to capture the entire territory of Jinzhou. If it hadn't been for the sudden arrival of King Jingnan from behind, I'm afraid he would have been sitting in Dayan's Jinluan Hall by now.

But he believed that it was only a matter of time, and one day he would have the entire Dayan in his pocket.

But he didn't expect that someone would come to the door at this time and claim to be his brother.

Is it possible that the illegitimate son who originally died in the fire came back to life?

King Beidi sneered and stood up, clapping the case.

"As we all know, my father has five children in total. Now that all the others are dead, where does a sixth prince appear? Go and cut off the head of the impostor as soon as possible and hang it on the city gate as a warning. Let's see which one Those who are not afraid of death dare to pretend to be the royal family."

"Yes."

The guard who came to report received the king's order and was about to retreat when he was stopped by an old minister.

"Wait a minute." The old minister stepped forward tremblingly and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

King Beidi looked at him sullenly and said displeasedly: "What are you going to say? Are you going to plead for that impostor?"

"The king hasn't seen the person yet, how do you know he must be an impostor?" the old minister said, "The king fought in all directions during his lifetime, and perhaps he did leave dragon seeds elsewhere. Now that the king has passed away, he has no relatives around him. If it is really the late king’s heir, it would be a good thing for the king to have one more brother.”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I think so too." Another minister stood up and said, "Outsiders say that Your Majesty's throne was paved with the blood of your brothers. Such remarks really harm Your Majesty's heroic image. , which is not conducive to the king's achievement of hegemony and unification of the world.

If the king really has such a brother, keeping him in the palace and establishing an image of a brother, friend and respecter to the world can greatly improve the king's reputation among the people. Wouldn't that be a good thing? "

King Beidi couldn't react to such a novel angle. The two officials who spoke were ministers he trusted, and logically they would not say anything unfavorable to him.

However, it was somewhat unacceptable for him to recognize an illegitimate brother of unknown origin.

"What about you?" He did not express his opinion immediately, but turned his attention to other officials, "What do you think?"

Other officials looked at each other, and many did not dare to speak easily.

Their king has always been moody and angry, and if he says something wrong, there is a risk of losing his head.

Fortunately, there were still a few people who were not afraid of losing their heads. Seeing the king's hesitation, they suggested that they meet the sixth prince before making a decision.

The former king has passed away, and the new king's status is unshakable. Even the real heir of the former prince is just one more mouth to eat.

If you really want to show brotherhood and respect, just give him a big house, confine him in it and don't let him go out. How can he rebel if he is alone?

After listening to everyone's suggestions, King Beidi couldn't help but feel a little shaken. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly named Tiemu: "What does General Tiemu think about this matter?"

Timu seemed to be still immersed in the pain of losing his sister, and didn't care about what everyone said. Suddenly he was called by the king, and he said in a daze: "I have no objection. I don't know anything except fighting. Your Majesty, you might as well continue Ask other people’s opinions.”

King Beidi's face was gloomy, and he could not tell whether he was happy or angry. He nodded for a while and said: "Bring that person in first and have a look!"

"Yes."

The guard took the order and left, and after a while, he brought back a tall and handsome young man.

As soon as the young man walked in, everyone gasped.

Isn't this the little guard who followed the king every day?

But didn't he already die in the fire? Why did he appear here again?

Could it be that he was not dead at the beginning, and that there was someone else with that burnt corpse?

But if he had not died, where had he been for more than a year, and why did he appear now?

The courtiers were astonished and whispered to each other.

King Beidi couldn't hide the shock on his face as he looked at the young man walking towards him step by step.

He felt incredible that a person who had been dead for more than a year suddenly appeared in front of him and changed so much.

If the young man's deep eyes hadn't really impressed him, he would have suspected that someone was impersonating the illegitimate child.

"Who are you? Who are you?" he asked loudly, pointing at the young man.
