chapter 2 Don't play by the rules

In the main hall, Emperor Swift was urgently convening ministers to discuss countermeasures regarding Beihuan's request for food.

Now, Emperor Swift had a headache.

Giving grain to Beihuan was tantamount to supporting the enemies of Daqian.

But without food, Beihuan, who cannot survive the coming winter, will inevitably go south to plunder. By then, the north, which has just rested for a few years, will be plunged into war again.

Daqian had just experienced the prince's rebellion and was extremely unstable internally.

At this time, the chance of winning against Beihuan was too slim.

Even if they win, I'm afraid it will be a miserable victory.

When Emperor Swift was having a headache, the war faction and the peace faction were also quarreling.

However, the peace faction clearly has the upper hand.

Emperor Swift was dizzy from the noise, but he couldn't make up his mind.

At this moment, Pure Consort rushed in crying, regardless of the obstruction of the guards outside the palace, "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for Harry! Wuwu..."

"Ahem..."

Emperor Swift coughed slightly and winked at Pure Consort, "I am discussing important matters with the ministers. Concubine, please step aside first. If you have anything to do, we will talk about it later!"

Not only did Pure Consort not retreat, she even cried louder, "Your Majesty, Adagio Swift kicked Harry's vital part. Maybe Harry won't even be able to be a man! Wuwu..."

"What?"

Emperor Swift face changed drastically, and he was about to explode, but suddenly calmed down.

After a while, Emperor Swift said with a smile: "My beloved, don't talk nonsense. I still know what kind of temper Sixth Prince is! He doesn't have the guts!"

Earnest , National Guardian Duke, also stood up and said with a smile: " Pure Consort Shu, the Holy One has everything to do with everything, so don't joke with him! Your Highness, the Sixth Highness, is a kindhearted person, how could he do such a thing?"

Gentle nature is just a euphemism.

The sixth prince is cowardly and a pure coward!

Pure Consort Shu was stunned for a moment, then cried louder.

Emperor Swift didn't believe her, not even his own brother?

But everything she said was absolutely true!

At this moment, the guards outside the palace came to report: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Sixth Highness wishes to see you!"

Sixth Prince?

Emperor Swift was stunned for a moment and immediately asked, "What is he here for?"

The guard lowered his head and replied with a guilty conscience: "His Royal Highness Sixth said that he kicked and injured His Highness Three's... vitality, and came here specifically to apologize..."

After listening to the guards' words, the officials' faces suddenly twitched.

No way?

The sixth prince, that wimp, actually kicked the third prince's lifeblood?

Emperor Swift was also shocked by the guard's words, his expression changed drastically again, and he sternly shouted to the guard: "Bring this traitor in here immediately!"

Soon, Adagio Swift was brought into the palace.

Adagio Swift quietly looked at the cheap man sitting on the emperor's throne.

Not bad, even though he is over fifty years old, he doesn't look particularly old.

Different from the ancient times he knew, the emperor of the Daqian Dynasty would give himself a title when he ascended the throne, which was somewhat similar to a posthumous title.

His cheap father Yun Qi's honorary title is Emperor Swift.

"Treason!"

Emperor Swift stared at Adagio Swift with burning eyes, "Did you really kick your third brother's lifeblood?"

Until now, Emperor Swift couldn't believe this fact.

Sixth Prince usually doesn't even dare to speak loudly, but today he dares to hurt his brother like this?

"yes!"

Adagio Swift nodded slightly.

After receiving the affirmative answer, Emperor Swift's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

"Sir, how dare you do this to your third brother?"

Emperor Swift eyes widened angrily and he shouted angrily: "Do you know that the last thing I want to see is for you brothers to kill each other?"

The frost on Earnest face became even heavier, and he bowed and said: "I believe that His Highness the Sixth Prince has no brother, and His Highness the Third is seriously injured, so we must not tolerate it! Please, Your Majesty, demote the Sixth Prince to a commoner as a warning to others!"

He is Harry Swift's uncle!

Yun Li suffered a big loss at the hands of Yun Zheng, how could he let Adagio Swift go?

"Your Highness the Sixth Prince dared to kill His Highness the Third Highness. It is an unpardonable crime!"

"As soon as the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he strictly prohibited fratricide between princes. This case must not be allowed!"

"Please, Your Majesty, demote the Sixth Prince to a commoner as a warning to others!"

"I second the proposal..."

Earnest's words were instantly echoed by the Third Prince and his party.

Everyone petitioned Emperor Swift to demote Adagio Swift to a commoner.

Even those who didn't say anything just looked on with cold eyes.

In the huge court, no one spoke for Adagio Swift.

Looking at these clowns, Adagio Swift couldn't help but secretly rejoice at his decision.

If you don't run away, why don't you stay in the imperial city and do knitting?

If you stay in the imperial city, you will only be killed!

Run away!

Must run away!

Emperor Swift eyes were cold and stern, and he stared at Adagio Swift with a frosty face: "Guizi, why don't you speak? I allow you to speak and give you a chance to explain!"

Adagio Swift faced Emperor Swift's anger and bowed: "I don't want to explain, and there is no need to explain! No matter what, it is taboo for me to kick my third brother like that! I plead guilty!"

Listening to Adagio Swift's words, Earnest couldn't help but snort secretly.

Waste is waste!

It didn't work when given the chance!

However, even giving this waste a chance to explain is useless!

He was determined to let Emperor Swift demote this useless prince to a commoner.

Earnest pondered for a moment, then bowed and said: "Your Majesty, since His Highness the Sixth Highness has confessed his crime, I ask Your Majesty to demote His Highness the Sixth Highness to a commoner as a warning to others!"

"Please, Your Majesty, demote the Sixth Prince to a commoner as a warning to others!"

The three princes and their party petitioned in unison.

Adagio Swift recorded these bastards in his little notebook, bowed to Emperor Swift again, and said loudly: "I know that my sins are serious, please forgive me!"

"A crime?"

Emperor Swift eyes flashed coldly, "Then tell me, what crime do you deserve?"

"capital offense!"

Without thinking, Adagio Swift bowed and said: "I beg your father to give me a death!"

boom!

As Adagio Swift's words fell, there was a sudden silence in the hall...

Give death?

Adagio Swift actually asked Emperor Swift to kill him?

Is this frightening your brain?

Everyone looked at Adagio Swift in confusion.

No one expected that Adagio Swift would actually ask for death.

Even brother and sister Earnest and Pure Consort were completely confused.

Although Adagio Swift has no foundation or status, he is still a prince.

As long as the princes of the Daqian Dynasty did not rebel or commit heinous crimes, it was basically impossible to be sentenced to death.

Adagio Swift's kick to Harry Swift's crotch was not enough for Emperor Swift to kill him.

Adagio Swift actually made a request that they didn't even dare to think of?

Emperor Swift was also shocked by Adagio Swift's words.

After a long silence, Emperor Swift asked sternly: "Do you really want me to kill you?"

"yes!"

Adagio Swift nodded solemnly, "My son, I can only die to apologize!"

Emperor Swift heart twitched severely.

He couldn't figure out why Adagio Swift insisted on dying.

Although he doesn't like to see this son, this is his son after all.

No matter how scared he is, he won't be so scared, right?

Who among the civil and military officials in the dynasty dared to say that he would be put to death?

After pondering for a moment, Emperor Swift asked sharply: "Is someone threatening you?"

As he spoke, Emperor Swift glanced at Pure Consort inadvertently.

Pure Consort was shocked and shouted that she was wronged.

She hadn't even had time to talk to Adagio Swift, how could she threaten Adagio Swift?

"No!"

Adagio Swift shook his head.

"Then why do you insist on wanting to die?"

Emperor Swift suddenly raised his voice.

In an instant, the entire civil and military dynasties were as silent as cicadas.

"My sin is so serious that I should die to apologize for it!"

Adagio Swift said with a sad face: "I have nothing else to ask for, I just ask my father to agree to my small request!"

"explain!"

Emperor Swift said with a dark face.

"My son has been a coward for so many years. I don't want to die a coward!"

Adagio Swift made a look of sorrow and indignation, gritted his teeth and said: "Please allow me to go to the border. I am willing to carry a three-foot long sword and die in a fierce battle!"

Die in battle?

Earnest eyes flashed coldly.

He got it!

Adagio Swift is trying to escape from the imperial city!

"Your Highness, Sixth Highness, is very brave, but I think it is inappropriate."

Earnest immediately jumped out to object: "The sixth prince is a prince after all. If even the princes of our court die in battle, wouldn't it make those barbarians laugh at me for being so dignified?"

He couldn't give Adagio Swift a chance to escape from the imperial city!

Harry Swift told him about the blood letter.

They must get the blood book!

Adagio Swift shook his head: " Adagio Swift cannot agree with what National Guardian Duke said!"

"oh?"

Earnest raised his eyes and looked at Adagio Swift, "What do you think, Your Highness, Sixth Prince?"

Adagio Swift straightened his body and said loudly: "The sons of ordinary people can fight to the death for me, but as princes, we should set an example for the people of the world!"

"But since the founding of our country, we have never heard of a prince dying in battle. This is why this country is not prosperous."

"If so, please start with Adagio Swift!"
