Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"Of course I'm selling my land and house. I'm not afraid of being laughed at."

"After working for my father for so many years, I'm truly incorruptible. I've spent all my family wealth in exchange for only 280,000 taels of silver."

"If you calculate it this way, it wouldn't even be enough to build a palace. I remember that... oh yeah, the Yangxin Palace. Didn't they spend over 700,000 taels of silver when they built it two years ago?"

Qin Ming spoke to himself.

But the target was not Concubine Xiao Shufei, she was not worthy of it.

The person Qin Ming was criticizing indirectly was Emperor Qian.

This old Deng has been exploiting me for many years without giving me any benefits.

He also deliberately wanted to give the throne of crown prince to Prince Jin.

Now that he has finally succeeded, Qin Ming disdains this position.

But I also want to take this opportunity to satisfy my craving for food.

All the officials in the court knew about it.

The Yangxin Palace was built for Concubine Xiao Shufei.

It was the money specially approved by Emperor Qian.

At the beginning, many officials advised him that the expenditure was too high.

But Emperor Qian still insisted on building this palace just to win the beauty's smile.

Qin Ming's sarcastic remarks brought up old matters again and pushed Emperor Qian in front of everyone.

"presumptuous!"

"Who taught you to talk like that?"

"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you went to Lingnan!"

Emperor Qian slammed the table in anger.

Ever since he started participating in the enthronement ceremony, Qin Ming has been pointing out himself in both explicit and implicit ways.

Emperor Qian had been accustomed to Qin Ming's bossing around over the years and really couldn't stand him like this.

Look at him getting anxious again.

Qin Ming continued with a smile:

"Father, if I were lawless, I wouldn't have squandered all my wealth to only have this 280,000 taels."

"But don't worry, I'm not asking for money. I won't ask you for it when we get to Lingnan."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qian sneered:

"Ridiculous! I hope you still have this kind of backbone when you go to Lingnan!"

Whether it is to maintain troops or build fiefdoms, the court has to subsidize a lot of money.

But Qin Ming didn't take the imperial court seriously at all.

He also spoke wildly, frequently pushing the relationship between himself and Emperor Qian into the abyss.

This has caused many officials to worry.

Especially Chen Shimao and others.

They were worried that Qin Ming was so arrogant that if he went to Lingnan without the support of the court, his plans would be wasted.

The key is that he can't just ignore it.

Concubine Xiao Shufei had an irreconcilable feud with him.

If Qin Ming really stayed in silence in Lingnan.

I guess in a few years, when Qin Yue grows up, he will find an opportunity to kill him...

But unlike what they thought, Qin Ming was very confident.

Shrugging his shoulders, Qin Ming said with a smile:

"As you wish."

Emperor Qian snorted coldly and said nothing more.

Concubine Xiao Shufei stood there awkwardly.

I don’t know whether I should continue to provoke Qin Ming.

She felt that she had snatched the other party's position as crown prince and was now showing off.

It will definitely anger Qin Ming.

At the very least, it will make him lose all face.

But for some reason, after she came out and showed off.

Many officials looked at Concubine Xiao Shufei with strange eyes.

Officials who knew Qin Ming's temper understood that when he said he was leaving, he was definitely not lying.

He really doesn't want the position of crown prince anymore.

He took the things Qin Ming threw away and ran over, pretending to be a self-righteous winner.

It was weird and a little embarrassing.

This Concubine Xiao Shu is not particular about her work at all...

"Ugh."

In the distance, there was already a hint of pity in Sun Lianying's eyes.

He forgot to tell Concubine Xiao Shufei one thing.

Judging from the attitude Qin Ming had shown before, he actually didn't care whether he was the crown prince or not.

In addition to Sun Lianying, Emperor Qian also knew this.

However, Concubine Xiao Shu was very stupid and naive, and wanted to use this method to anger Qin Ming.

Qin Yue, who is still young, is also very confused at this moment.

It is said that if you become a prince, you will be respected by all the people.

But why didn't anything change after he became the crown prince?

Instead, I feel like I'm being laughed at all the time...

"By the way! One more thing!"

Concubine Xiao Shu suddenly thought of something and announced to everyone:

"Now that His Royal Highness has been conferred the title, he naturally must participate in state affairs."

"Your Majesty has ordered the Governor-General of Huguang, Xiao Qinian, to assist the Crown Prince in handling the affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi and to learn the strategies of state governance."

"Guangdong and Guangxi?"

Chen Shimao frowned slightly.

This arrangement is very strange.

There are too many overlapping areas between Guangdong and Guangxi and Lingnan.

It’s still too far from the capital.

This arrangement was purely aimed at Qin Ming.

This is Concubine Xiao Shufei's last trump card.

Even if Qin Ming went to Lingnan, Xiao Qinian, the highest official there, would obstruct him in every possible way.

Xiao Qinian was assigned to the prince, which was equivalent to joining the lineage of Concubine Xiao Shufei.

It seems that Qin Ming's life in Lingnan will not be easy.

Thinking of this, Chen Shimao stood up directly.

"Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate. Putting aside the distance between Guangdong and Guangxi and the capital, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has many options for learning how to govern a country."

"The court can take a long-term view and choose a nearby region for the Crown Prince to participate in governing. The results will definitely be better than those in Guangdong and Guangxi."

Before Emperor Qian could speak.

Concubine Xiao Shu immediately jumped out and said:

"Guangdong and Guangxi are located in the Lingnan region. Currently, they are barren and sparsely populated. Even if the Crown Prince is allowed to participate in management, any problems can still be remedied."

"Prime Minister Chen, the prefectures and counties near the capital are all extremely wealthy. If the Crown Prince rashly takes over, and something goes wrong, wouldn't it have a profound impact on the court?"

Qin Ming had already understood what Concubine Xiao Shu meant.

However, it was Concubine Xiao Shufei who spoke out about this matter.

So he spoke:

"Noble Concubine Xiao, I must remind you that the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs, even if your son is the crown prince."

"you……!"

Concubine Xiao pointed at Qin Ming in frustration, but she did not dare to refute the rule set by the ancestors in front of so many people.

"okay!"

Emperor Qian slapped the table and interrupted them.

"Guangdong and Guangxi are indeed a good place for the prince to gain experience. Let's do it here."

Seeing that Lao Deng was so partial to Concubine Xiao Shufei and her son.

Qin Ming said to Concubine Xiao Shufei with a smile from below.

"If you want to learn from me, just tell me and I'll teach you."

Emperor Qian didn't hear it.

But behind Qin Ming, the heads of the six departments all heard it.

Qian Cai was the first to laugh.

Concubine Xiao Shufei felt a little embarrassed.

He lowered his voice and said to Qin Ming in a threatening tone:

"If you go to Lingnan, you will die miserably."

"Then I must go immediately and wait for you to kill me."

Qin Ming can't stand being threatened by others.

She's just a concubine, yet she's so arrogant!

"Fox spirit, my army will start moving tomorrow and will reach Lingnan in half a month."

"The Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, right? You should inform him as soon as possible. Don't wait until I arrive at the place without any response. Then I will think you are afraid of me."

"By the way, what if you can't kill me? Will it be embarrassing?"

Qin Ming's attitude was even more arrogant than hers, and he even dared to add fuel to the fire.

Concubine Xiao Shufei's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, full of resentment.

"Okay, just wait, I won't let you down!"
