Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Fengtian City can be said to be a strategic location.

These are also some of the more important areas under the Ming King.

But now it has been taken over and garrisoned by the imperial court.

This means that the Ming King has cut off one of his own arms just to maintain superficial harmony with the court.

But everyone present understood that this harmony was extremely fragile. As long as Qin Ming wanted, he could order his soldiers to rush over and tear the numerous vassal kings to pieces at any time!

But they have no means of resistance.

"I have no idea. If you have any, please feel free to share your experience."

Facing everyone's gaze, Ming Wang showed a hint of bitterness on his face.

He certainly didn't want this to happen.

But the first stop of the imperial court when coming to the north was the fiefdom of King Ming.

If someone else came, they might not be able to handle it as well as Ming Wang.

Prince Yan sighed, but did not blame him for handing over Fengtian City directly. He took over the conversation and said:

"What do you all think? There are no outsiders here, so let's talk about it together."

"Let me start first! I don't want to go to the capital."

The King of Yan knew that everyone was sitting here and was worried that there might be eavesdroppers on the other side of the wall.

As the most powerful local vassal, he must first express his attitude and be the bad guy.

Only in this way can they speak freely.

"I don't want to either."

Prince Su followed immediately.

Ming Wang nodded without saying anything more, but raised his hand firmly.

Upon seeing this, the kings immediately began to discuss.

"It's easy to refuse His Majesty, but what about his army?"

"I think we should just hold him back. The court is currently swamped with trivial matters. Would he really dare to go to great lengths to attack us?"

"That's right. We have guarded the north for many years, and each of us has made great contributions. If you kill us, how will Your Majesty explain to the world?"

They talked at once and became more and more heated.

But at this moment, a guard suddenly ran in from a distance.

"Your Highness, Cao Chuan is here."

"Cao Chuan... the general beside His Majesty, the one who just returned from the battle in Yan Dynasty?"

Prince Yan raised his eyebrows, and the princes who were discussing around him and were full of resentment towards the court suddenly became quiet.

No one dared to say anything about Qin Ming anymore.

"Yes, that General Cao."

His subordinates helped him confirm again.

Upon hearing this, King Yan's expression suddenly turned ugly.

Prince Ming slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Prince Yan and saying:

"Your behavior is not very authentic, right?"

"We risked our lives to come to your Yanyun City, only to be betrayed to the imperial court?"

Prince Su also snorted coldly, stood up and clasped his fists and said:

"Since the King of Yan has important matters to discuss with Cao Chuan, I will not disturb you. Goodbye!"

Everyone present was very angry.

They thought that it was the King of Yan who leaked the news of their meeting to Cao Chuan.

This is why Cao Chuan went straight to their door and arrested them all at once during such a sensitive period.

Although Cao Chuan would not kill them directly here.

But it was enough to report it to Qin Ming and accuse them of forming a clique!

That would make all the vassal kings even more passive!

"Everyone, this is my palace. Why would I do such a thing?"

Prince Yan was misunderstood by everyone, so he quickly stood up and grabbed Prince Su and Prince Ming who were about to leave.

"Is it possible that the imperial court has already planted spies against us, and any action we take will be known to them?"

"Just like Prince Su said before, His Majesty has been paying attention to us for a long time. He really could do such a thing."

"This……"

A sense of fear arose in everyone's heart.

The original anger had disappeared, and they only felt a chill down their spines.

Many people in the court at that time said that Qin Ming had the appearance of an emperor.

Everyone in the court and the country felt this way, except Emperor Qian, who didn't believe it.

Now that Qin Ming has taken over the throne and is actually doing things, they find that their original judgment was indeed correct.

Our Majesty is simply unfathomable.

What made them even more frightened was what happened after Cao Chuan came in.

"What do you think Cao Chuan is doing here?"

At this time, the most timid King You suddenly spoke up and raised this extremely important issue.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became even more dead silent.

It was very strange. Although Qin Ming was thousands of miles away from them, everyone felt like there was something stuck in their throat and their heartbeats became heavier.

"Let him in first. It's not a good idea to keep him outside."

King Yan took a deep breath. As the person in charge, he chose to face it.

"Yes!"

Soon, several guards brought Cao Chuan into the palace alone.

"I am General Cao Chuan, honored to meet you princes."

Cao Chuan was holding a yellow imperial edict in his hand, which must have been sent by Qin Ming.

He was not at all nervous when he came over. Having followed Qin Ming for many years, he had seen too many storms and greeted everyone very generously.

Prince Yan and others all stared at him seriously, as if trying to find out some clues from him.

However, Cao Chuan just stood there quietly, and only the imperial edict in his hand seemed to foreshadow something big that was about to happen.

"I wonder why General Cao came here today?"

Perhaps in order to clear his relationship with the other party, the King of Yan did not even leave him a chair and started questioning him directly.

"I came here today to tell you a good news!"

Cao Chuan explained with a happy face.

"good news?"

"Yes, Your Majesty has ascended the throne, hasn't he?"

"Many surrounding countries, such as the Nanman, the Western Regions, and Western Shu, and even more than a dozen countries in Southeast Asia, have all come to offer congratulations!"

"His Majesty is delighted, so I'm here to inform you all that you can prepare some formal attire when you go. We'll host a state banquet and celebrate!"

"It just so happens that everyone is gathered today, so I thought of notifying everyone at once to save the trouble of going to each one individually."

Cao Chuan spoke to himself.

But every word he said made the faces of the kings present become uglier and uglier.

His words revealed several meanings.

First of all, Qin Ming has good relations with the surrounding countries, and these resources are simply incomparable to the northern kings.

Secondly, the power of the imperial court had long since infiltrated into the north, and even confidential matters such as the gathering of kings could not escape their eyes.

Among these, the most important point is the meaning of urging.

After sending the letter, Qin Ming became a little impatient when he saw that many royal families did not take any action. He even asked Cao Chuan, one of the main generals in the march to the north, to come and notify them in person.

This is a naked threat!

They had no doubt that if they refused, Cao Chuan would change his attitude in the next second, and the army would be at the gates of the city the next day!

"Everyone, please give me a clear answer so I can arrange for someone to escort you back to Beijing!"

Cao Chuan spoke with a smile, but the smile on his face began to fade gradually.

Prince Yan and Prince Su looked at each other.

Prince Su shook his head dejectedly.

Ming Wang sighed and said:

"When is the state banquet?"

"The fifteenth of this month is an auspicious day."

Cao Chuan said.

"understood."

King Yan took a deep breath. Since he didn't have the strength to refuse, he could only agree.

However, when they go to the capital this time, the problems they face may not be as simple as attending a banquet.

As soon as he thought of this, he said:

"General Cao, I have an unwelcome request. Could you please accommodate me?"

"Oh? If Your Majesty agrees, I will certainly comply."

Cao Chuan's heart moved and he spoke very conservatively.
