Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Seeing this reaction, Du Zi became anxious.

He didn't expect that these people would ignore the imperial court because of their own positions.

"Everyone follow me now. Let's go see His Majesty and talk about this in front of him!"

Du Zi knew that he had no way to deal with these problems.

I can only take them to find Hua Yunhong first.

On the other side, Hua Yunhong saw Du Zi bringing so many people to him.

I suddenly understood something.

He knew that officials at all levels had recently taken sick leave and gone home one after another.

But as soon as he came to power, the decrees he issued could not be carried out.

As an emperor, this is something he absolutely cannot allow.

So Hua Yunhong insisted on not giving in. Since they asked for leave to go back home, he let them all go back.

But within a few months, more and more of these people returned.

As a result, there is no one available in the court now.

Although Du Zi forcibly brought a group of people over, these people kept their mouths shut.

No one wanted to participate in the discussion of this decree.

Hua Yunhong glanced at them and spoke lightly.

"Everyone, I know what you are thinking right now, but if we can't reach a conclusion today, no one can leave this hall."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

Everyone looked hesitant.

If you want to find fault, you shouldn't use them as examples.

Those who should be looked for are the pillars of the court.

Being implicated was purely an unprovoked disaster.

When they thought of this, everyone felt dissatisfied.

"Don't worry, I will accompany you personally."

Hua Yunhong certainly knew what they were thinking, so he spoke calmly.

Seeing that he was going to make people tired today, everyone's face changed.

Since Hua Yunhong took office, he has always kept his emotions secret, and today was the first time he got really angry.

This made many people break out in cold sweats.

Just as they were arguing, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, why force others to do things against their will? This situation cannot be resolved by one person alone."

Hearing the sound coming from outside, Hua Yunhong's face suddenly became more gloomy.

"Teacher, you didn't even inform me when you entered the palace. You didn't even greet me. It seems I'm being impolite."

He slowly stood up and clasped his fists toward the door.

The person who walked in was Duanmu Jiang, the supreme commander of the imperial expeditionary force of the Shenmu Kingdom, who had been Hua Yunhong's teacher for seventeen years since he was a child.

The moment he saw him, Hua Yunhong's face changed immediately.

He no longer has many supporters.

At the beginning, Daqian posed a strong threat to the Shenmu Kingdom.

Many ministers supported Hua Yunhong, including Duanmu Jiang.

However, Duanmu Jiang learned some time ago that Hua Yunhong was going to follow the development path of Qin Ming and others.

They even became furious when they were forced to introduce a large amount of new technology and abandon the mechanical skills that had been cultivated over countless generations.

In order to draw a clear line between himself and Hua Yunhong, Duanmu Jiang even entered the palace and argued with Hua Yunhong in front of everyone.

During those days, Hua Yunhong was so angry that he tossed and turned all night, and so was Duanmu Jiang.

Over the years, Duanmu Jiang has always supported mechanical engineering.

He had dozens of mechanical workshops under his command, which cost tens of millions of taels of silver.

Correspondingly, the wealth these mechanical workshops brought him was naturally enormous.

It can be said that Duanmu Jiang is a loyal user of mechanical techniques.

If Hua Yunhong ascends the throne, the first thing he will do is to waste their years of hard work. Duanmu Jiang is the first one to disagree!

Even if there is more than ten years of master-disciple relationship in front of us, it is useless!

The reason why many ministers in the court chose to stand against Hua Yunhong.

In fact, it is because there are too many officials who oppose the influx of Daqian technology.

These are the real vested interests.

Hua Yunhong has been particularly wary of them since he took office.

Especially Duanmu Jiang, one of the pillar ministers, stood up.

Let the ministers see that even Hua Yunhong’s teacher was unwilling to support him.

Of course I know which row to stand in.

"Your Majesty is too polite. I just happened to arrive here."

Duanmu Jiang spoke lightly, his tone was distant.

Seeing that the teacher he had known for many years had now become like this, a trace of sadness flashed in Hua Yunhong's eyes.

The atmosphere at the scene seemed heavy and depressing.

Among the officials who were arrested, some of the smarter ones had already hidden behind Duanmu Jiang and were unwilling to get involved in this dispute.

At this time Duanmu Jiang continued:

"Your Majesty, many people in the imperial court have already expressed their views and are even trying to stop you from continuing to promote the technology from Daqian. I wonder what you think about this?"

As Hua Yunhong's teacher, Duanmu Jiang came early and even broke the last layer of window paper.

This brings the contradiction between the monarch and his subjects to the surface.

Originally, there was only one rebellious person, Fang Yuanjian, in the territory of Shenmu Kingdom, but he was beaten to the point where he almost had no place to stand.

Even the emperor is like this now!

Duanmu Jiang was extremely worried, thinking that by teaching such a student, his clear conscience would be almost ruined!

This time, Duanmu Jiang was chosen as the emperor.

They really failed.

It was originally thought that Hua Yunhong would fully support them after ascending the throne, and would seal off the Shenmu Kingdom to prevent the influx of Daqian technology.

But in reality, things were not at all what they imagined.

Not only did they misjudge Hua Yunhong, but the other party even chose to go against him.

This made Duanmu Jiang lose face in front of all his colleagues.

"Teacher, what do you mean by saying this?"

Hua Yunhong's eyes were deep and his tone was calm.

"You should know what I mean. This is absolutely impossible, whether it's approached head-on or indirectly, like what happened today."

Hua Yunhong is a student he brought up.

But this teacher who had taught Hua Yunhong for seventeen years actually made a mistake.

Raised a guy who wants to lead everyone to hell.

This led to rumors about Duanmu Jiang spreading outside.

Today, Duanmu Jiang ran over directly after hearing the news.

The purpose is to set the record straight in the court and let everyone know where they stand.

Having said that.

Hua Yunhong was not polite and said coldly:

“No one’s attitude is helpful!”

"Teacher, you are the supreme commander of the expeditionary force. You have come into contact with troops from across the entire dynasty. So, tell me, in the dozens of battles we've fought, big and small, have you ever gained any advantage in any encounter with the Daqian troops?"

"Is it because the Shenmu army is not brave and is full of cowards who are afraid of death and dare not fight?"

"I don't think so. Please tell me why this is so."

Hearing this, Duanmu Jiang shook his head and said:

"Your Majesty, it's normal that we don't have the upper hand at this stage. It just means that our organizations haven't adapted to the battlefield between us and Daqian yet."
