Great Xia: At the start, summon the Net of Heaven to suppress the martial arts world.

In response to this, Xia Taige acted with great generosity and magnanimity, showing a completely open attitude towards all comers!

After all, how could one back down when it comes to drinking?

As Xia Beixuan took the lead in raising his glass to toast as the opening act, the other princes followed suit, raising their glasses one after another to toast Xia Taige.

Facing each prince who came to offer a toast, Xia Taige always wore a smile and was very polite, without showing the slightest arrogance as the crown prince.

Time passed slowly, and after a while, the wine glasses were repeatedly raised and lowered.

Gradually, the atmosphere in the entire hall became more and more lively, with laughter filling every corner.

However, at this moment, King Xia Chuzhou of Qi, who had been hesitant in the audience, finally made up his mind.

He took a deep breath, and, taking advantage of his slight intoxication, resolutely raised his wine glass, solemnly and earnestly toasting Xia Taige:

"Your Highness, I am now of advanced age and it is no longer appropriate for me to remain in the capital for any longer. Therefore, I humbly request Your Highness's permission to travel to my fiefdom."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xia Chuzhou downed his drink in one gulp, demonstrating his unwavering resolve.

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige's expression remained calm and composed, without the slightest ripple.

He simply picked up the wine glass in front of him slowly, remained silent, tilted his head back, and drank the wine in one gulp.

Then, turning to the Qin Prince's steward who was still respectfully serving him to the side, he gave the order in a calm tone:

"Let the musician stop playing and go back to rest."

Upon hearing this, Steward Wang turned to look at the King of Qin. After seeing the King of Qin nod slightly, he dared not delay for a moment and hurriedly turned to do his work.

In an instant, the entire hall fell silent!

Seeing this, many princes became nervous and were somewhat annoyed by Qi King Xia Chuzhou's recklessness!

Sitting in the main seat, Xia Taige sighed inexplicably!

His eyes swept calmly around the room, and seeing that only a few princes remained, he bluntly remarked:

"I could never bring myself to kill my brothers!"

"Although one cannot sit securely on the throne without being ruthless, I have absolute confidence in myself!"

"I do not believe that a few princes can threaten my throne!"

"From beginning to end, I have never regarded you as my opponents!"

"The waters of the Chinese mainland are far too deep for you to grasp. As for the position of Crown Prince, or rather, the position of Emperor of Great Xia, there is no other candidate besides me!"

"You can rest assured, my standards aren't so low as to kill you all!"

As Xia Taige spoke, he kept a close eye on the expressions of the princes.

There must be something Yan had in mind behind Xia Beixuan's plan!

What he was worried about was that in order to consolidate his imperial power, he would ruthlessly kill his own brothers.

To avoid future trouble, let's make things clear this time!

Upon hearing this, the princes were about to express their opinions when Xia Taige interrupted them again:

"In the future, we can continue as usual."

"Whether it's forming cliques for personal gain or currying favor with political parties, I won't care!"

"I can even turn a blind eye to any rebellion, as long as you succeed! If you fail, I will spare your lives!"

Xia Taige was extremely confident in his own strength this time, and in fact, he secretly hoped that these princes would rebel!

This would provide a reason to purge the princes and nobles in the imperial court!

We need to thoroughly clean up these deep-seated problems and bring in a fresh batch of talent.

At that time, the Great Xia will only become stronger and stronger, and the people of the Great Xia will live a better life!

However, the princes in the hall did not think that way. Upon hearing this, they were somewhat at a loss and were speechless at Xia Taige's words!

At this point, agreeing or not agreeing is not an option; the only thing to do is remain silent!

Below the stage, King Qin, Xia Beixuan, seeing the increasingly tense atmosphere, could only try to ease the tension:

"They are all members of the Great Xia royal family. Something that would cause pain to our loved ones and joy to our enemies will certainly not happen here! I hope Your Highness can rest assured!"

Hearing this, Xia Taige sighed helplessly, "I'm not kidding you!"

Xia Taige's blunt words sobered everyone up!

The crowd exchanged glances, then raised their glasses, stood up, and toasted Xia Taige.

"Your Highness is truly virtuous!"

Seeing this, Xia Taige smiled slightly, raised his wine glass, glanced around at everyone, and said half-jokingly:

"I hope that the next time I attend someone's banquet, it will truly be just a simple banquet, and that none of these complications will arise again!"

Upon hearing this, King Qin, Xia Beixuan, blushed slightly and glared at Xia Taige with a hint of reproach.

The other princes did not say much, but raised their heads and drank the wine in their cups in one gulp.

Thus, the banquet, filled with tension and dramatic twists, finally came to an end. In the silence, everyone dispersed, each leaving the Xumiao Pavilion with their own thoughts.

The following day, at the Eastern Palace.

After drinking yesterday, Xia Taige woke up around 9 AM today.

The first thing to do every morning – sign in!

"System sign in!"

[Congratulations, host, for signing in and obtaining the Emperor's Law!]

[The Emperor's Law—an exclusive cultivation technique for the Emperor! Bound to the nation's destiny, it gathers the dynasty's fortune into one's own body! If the dynasty prospers, the host will be unparalleled in the world, invincible! If the dynasty falls, the host will perish and be excluded from reincarnation! If the dynasty survives, the host will be immune to all laws and attain eternal life!]

Seeing this, Xia Taige sighed, "It wasn't easy! I finally got a cultivation technique after signing in!"

"Systematic learning!" Xia Taige couldn't wait to shed his noob status!

However, after a few moments, the system still did not respond!

Xia Taige is trying this!

"Systematically learn the laws of the Son of Heaven!"

The system remained unresponsive, and just as Xia Taige was about to try a third time, the system couldn't hold back any longer!

[Please read the cultivation technique introduction carefully, host! Thank you!]

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige hurriedly opened the document and read it again.

After a long while, Xia Taige finally came to his senses!

After a long silence, Xia Taige spoke:

"System, I'm going to ascend the throne sooner or later anyway, so it's not too late to learn first!"

Xia Taige waited for a long time after speaking, but the system ignored him, which made him feel a little helpless!

What's the point of signing in if you can't cultivate? It's a waste of time!

He just became the crown prince yesterday, so is he supposed to go to the palace today and say to Emperor Xia:

For the sake of unifying the continent of Great Xia, Your Majesty, please abdicate?

Even if the Emperor has the best temper and trusts Xia Taige, he would probably slap this weakling Xia Taige away!

Xia Taige felt inexplicably upset, a fire burning inside him, and he couldn't wait to vent it!

Just then, a dead dog with black and white stripes all over its body passed by in front of Xia Taige Palace, its eyes rolling back!

Xia Taige's heart skipped a beat, and he walked towards the husky!

It's fair to say that even though both are black and white, the status of Huskies is significantly lower!
