Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Inside the capital, Chen Shimao felt a solemn atmosphere as soon as he entered the city gate.

The entire capital city was like an old man with a candle burning in the wind, a scene of loneliness.

Although it is late autumn now, we are even gradually entering winter.

But this sense of decline was so strong that Chen Shimao still felt very strange.

He walked slowly down the street.

During the time he returned home to visit his relatives, he had heard countless news about Qin Ming.

He also knew the court's arrangements.

After seeing Emperor Qian send troops to suppress Qin Ming continuously, Chen Shimao was a little conflicted.

But in the end he returned to the court.

He wanted to make a final effort for Qin Ming.

"Your humble servant, Chen Shimao, requests an audience with Your Majesty."

Outside the imperial study, Chen Shimao slowly spoke to the eunuchs guarding there.

"Prime Minister Chen..."

Everyone was surprised to see Chen Shimao return after leaving the court for many days.

But then their hearts gradually became heavy.

"Please wait."

A young eunuch quickly entered the imperial study and reported the news of Chen Shimao's arrival to Emperor Qian.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Chen is here."

"Chen Shimao?"

Emperor Qian frowned, his face full of worry. In front of him was an opened letter sent from the Changhe military camp.

"Let him in."

He quickly stuffed the letter in front of him into his sleeve, pretended nothing had happened, and called Chen Shimao into the imperial study.

"Please sit down, Prime Minister Chen."

Seeing Chen Shimao rushing all the way back to Beijing, he came to find him without even cleaning the mud off his clothes.

Emperor Qian casually pointed to the seat beside him and gave instructions.

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't have sent troops to attack the King of Qin."

Chen Shimao did not sit down, but stared at Emperor Qian closely.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly dropped several degrees.

Snapped!

Emperor Qian closed the memorial in front of him and asked with a stern face:

"Prime Minister Chen has come here in such a hurry today, is he here to criticize my crimes?"

Chen Shimao took a deep breath.

The emperor in front of him has been stubborn and self-willed for a long time, and almost everyone in the court knows about this problem.

Only he himself doesn't know.

If this continues, it will only lead to disaster.

"Your Majesty, Lingnan's strength has reached a level you can hardly imagine. Unless firearms are mass-produced within six months to a year, it will be useless no matter how many people you send there!"

Chen Shimao had seen Qin Ming's military camp with his own eyes.

He came here today just because he insisted as a minister that he had to remind Emperor Qian.

But Emperor Qian didn't take it to heart.

"Daqian is my Daqian! Not Lingnan's Daqian!"

"According to what you said, does that mean the entire Daqian region has to make way for Lingnan? That's ridiculous!"

"Chen Shimao, you've repeatedly warned me. Could it be that after your trip to Lingnan, that brat has given you some kind of bewitching potion?"

After serving as an official for many years, I was actually suspected like this.

Chen Shimao was a little angry, his gray beard trembled, and he said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, I only wish to maintain the peace of Daqian."

"fart!"

Emperor Qian slammed the table suddenly!

"Chen Shimao! You came here today not for me, but for Daqian?"

Chen Shimao looked at the extremely extreme man in front of him in disbelief.

It was as if I had just met him for the first time.

After a long time, he said quietly:

"If it were the King of Qin, he wouldn't ask these questions."

Emperor Qian laughed angrily and then roared:

"Okay, I'm blind!"

"Since you don't even take me seriously, then take off your official uniform and let someone who can help me come!"

"Your humble servant... obeys your order."

Chen Shimao arrived in a hurry today, but he was still wearing his official uniform and even his official hat, which was taller than everyone else's.

At this time, he took off the official hat on his head and slowly placed it in front of Emperor Qian.

"Your Majesty, no one has dared to tell you for many years."

"The King of Qin is the destiny of Daqian."

"If he hadn't gone to Lingnan, the northern battlefield would have been pacified long ago. How could there be such a mess?"

"I have finished speaking, I will take my leave."

Chen Shimao turned around, took a long breath, and left.

Emperor Qian sat in the imperial study, his face flushed with anger.

His fingers trembled slightly as he took out a document from his sleeve.

This is a vicious plot sent by King Liang.

Picking up the cinnabar pen, he slowly drew a stroke on it.

"You are all good people, and I am the only bad guy?"

"Then let's see who of us can survive to the end!"

"Come here! Deliver this letter to the Changhe military camp!"

……

A few days later, Prince Liang and Prince Yu received an urgent battle report from the court in the military camp.

The moment they opened the envelope, they saw the marks made with a cinnabar pen on it.

King Liang’s eyes went dark.

The situation that we least wanted to happen still happened.

“Are these all approved?”

Emperor Qian did not stop the collaboration with the enemy at all.

Even rush to deliver the approval!

"I proposed this matter, so let me go."

Prince Yu sighed slowly, ready to take the blame for this incident.

After all, they were either going to negotiate with the Nanman who had been entangled with them for many years, or to unite with foreign enemies to fight their own people.

This will be a huge stain in his life, and even in later history books it may not be able to be washed away.

But after he turned around.

A big hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.

"Let's go together. How can you convince them if you go alone?"

"you……"

Prince Yu frowned and looked at the other party, but saw Prince Liang smiling and shaking his head.

"Okay, let's go together."

That night, the two armies marched south along the western basin towards Nanman.

As for Jiang Kaiyu and Huangfu Taiping, they were still struggling to withstand Qin Ming's attack.

The two were not very clear about the court's arrangements.

But when they saw that the two princes had left, they guessed something.

What surprised them was that after guessing their target, they actually felt a little relieved.

Is he scared by Qin Ming's beating?

……

On the battlefield of Xiasha City, Qin Ming gathered the wounded and was distributing penicillin to them.

Cao Chuan suddenly brought back a piece of news.

"Your Highness, Prime Minister Chen has been dismissed, Minister of Revenue Qian Cai has resigned, Deputy Minister of Rites Hu Youbang has been fired, and the Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate..."

This series of news made Qin Ming, who was busy at the time, open his eyes wide.

"What's going on? Why is there such a big commotion in the capital all of a sudden?"

"It seems that after Prime Minister Chen returned to the capital, he went to the Imperial Study and had a huge argument with Your Majesty. Now, without Prime Minister Chen's protection, all those who were familiar with you have been cleared out."

Cao Chuan knew Qin Ming's grievances in the court.

Chen Shimao is the backbone of the empire, and his status and qualifications are unmatched by ordinary people.

He sat there, as steady as a rock, and no one could touch those people who were originally on good terms with Qin Ming.

But if he resigns, under the influence of Concubine Xiao Shufei's lineage.

Everything will accelerate in an irreversible direction!

When such a big thing happened, Qin Ming stood there motionless. After thinking for a long time, he was suddenly shocked.

"Oh no, the teacher is in danger!"

"What do you mean? Prime Minister Chen is an important official of the country. Even if he is leaving office, we should part ways amicably, right?"

Cao Chuan looked at Qin Ming hesitantly.

He was a little bit unconvinced that the court would abandon the donkey after it had served its purpose.

Qin Ming shook his head and said:

"What if such a talent left and came to Lingnan?"
