Chapter 2

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

Now, Emperor Wen 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 Wen was having a headache, the war faction and the peace faction were also quarreling.

However, the peace faction clearly has the upper hand.

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

At this moment, Concubine Shu rushed in crying, regardless of the obstruction of the guards outside the palace, "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for Li'er! Wuwu..."

"Cough cough..."

Emperor Wen coughed slightly and winked at Concubine Shu, "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 Concubine Shu not retreat, she even cried louder, "Your Majesty, Yunzheng kicked Li'er's vital part. Maybe Li'er won't even be able to be a man! Wuwu..."

"what?"

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

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

Xu Shifu, Duke of Jingguo, also stood up and said with a smile: "Concubine Shu, the Holy One is responsible for everything, so don't joke with him! Your Highness, the Sixth Highness, is kind-hearted by nature, how could he do such a thing?"

Gentle nature is just a euphemism.

The sixth prince is cowardly and a pure coward!

Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment, then cried louder.

Emperor Wen 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?

Emperor Wen 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 Wen 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, Yun Zheng was brought into the palace.

Yun Zheng 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 Wen.

"Rebel!"

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

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

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

"Yes!"

Yunzheng nodded slightly.

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

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

Emperor Wen's 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 Xu Shifu's 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 Yun Li's uncle!

Yun Li suffered a big loss at the hands of Yun Zheng, how could he let Yun Zheng 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!"

"The minister agrees..."

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

Everyone petitioned Emperor Wen to demote Yunzheng to a commoner.

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

In the huge court, no one spoke for Yun Zheng.

Looking at these clowns, Yun Zheng 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 Wen's eyes were cold and stern, and he stared at Yunzheng with a frosty face: "Guizi, why don't you speak? I allow you to speak and give you a chance to explain!"

Yun Zheng faced Emperor Wen'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 Yunzheng's words, Xu Shifu couldn't help but snort secretly.

Waste is waste!

I was given the opportunity to no avail!

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

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

Xu Shifu 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.

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

"A crime?"

Emperor Wen's eyes flashed coldly, "Then tell me, what crime do you deserve?"

"capital offense!"

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

boom!

As Yun Zheng's words fell, there was a sudden silence in the hall...

Give death?

Yun Zheng actually asked Emperor Wen to kill him?

Is this frightening your brain?

Everyone looked at Yunzheng in confusion.

No one expected that Yun Zheng would actually ask for death.

Even brother and sister Xu Shifu and Shu Fei were completely confused.

Although Yunzheng 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.

Yun Zheng's kick to Yun Li's crotch was not enough for Emperor Wen to kill him.

Yun Zheng actually made a request that they didn't even dare to think of?

Emperor Wen was also shocked by Yun Zheng's words.

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

"Yes!"

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

Emperor Wen's heart twitched severely.

He couldn't figure out why Yun Zheng 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 Wen asked sharply: "Is someone threatening you?"

As he spoke, Emperor Wen glanced at Concubine Shu inadvertently.

Concubine Shu was shocked and shouted that she was wronged.

She hadn't even had time to talk to Yun Zheng, how could she threaten Yun Zheng?

"no!"

Yunzheng shook his head.

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

Emperor Wen 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!"

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

"Say!"

Emperor Wen said with a dark face.

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

Yun Zheng 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?

Xu Shifu's eyes flashed coldly.

He got it!

Yunzheng is trying to escape from the imperial city!

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

Xu Shifu 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 Yunzheng a chance to escape from the imperial city!

Yun Li told him about the blood letter.

They must get the blood book!

Yun Zheng shook his head: "Yun Zheng cannot agree with what Duke Jing Guo said!"

"Oh?"

Xu Shifu raised his eyes and looked at Yun Zheng, "What do you think, Your Highness, Sixth Prince?"

Yun Zheng 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 Yunzheng!"
