Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

After the northern tribes left, the number of northern troops in the entire dynasty decreased sharply year by year.

The princes in the north are the ones who can feel this trend the most.

But the general trend of the world cannot be influenced by one person, so they can only see what Qin Ming means first.

If we can talk, that would be the best.

If we can’t reach an agreement…things might get a little troublesome.

The princes, each with their own thoughts, drank and chatted until late at night and then returned to their rooms.

Although they indulged in sensual pleasures until late at night, the princes were all smart people and no one was really drunk.

The next morning, everyone woke up as usual.

"Everyone, His Majesty invites you."

After breakfast, Song Dingsheng came up from downstairs and extended his hand as a gesture of invitation.

Looking down from the railing, there was already a row of carriages waiting below.

Faced with such high-level treatment, King Yan and others nodded.

No matter how he behaves during the reception below, Song Dingsheng will definitely not make any mistakes when entering the palace.

Soon, a five-horse carriage brought Prince Yan and others into the palace.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Qin Ming sat on the main seat.

Several sets of seats are placed symmetrically on the left and right sides.

Chang Baishan, who was outside the door, quickly came in and reported:

"Your Majesty, the person has arrived and is waiting outside the palace."

"Let them in."

"Yes!"

Soon, Song Dingsheng, Prince Yan and others came in from outside.

Everyone stopped and saluted Qin Ming, and at the same time began to look at each other.

Qin Ming naturally had the bearing of an emperor, his face was calm, his eyes contained everything, and it was impossible to tell whether he was sad or happy.

The princes below were a little nervous.

After all, this is the first time I have seen such a legendary figure in so many years.

Just thinking of Qin Ming's glorious deeds of fighting all the way from south to north made everyone feel frightened.

It's inevitable to feel a little panic at this moment.

"Have a seat, everyone."

Seeing that they were standing there without moving, Qin Ming took the initiative to make arrangements.

Everyone sat down, and King Yan greeted them:

"The north was too busy these days and had no time to prepare gifts for His Majesty's ascension to the throne."

"We have come here today to prepare some treasures for Your Majesty and to congratulate you on your ascension to the throne."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty..."

The princes who had just sat down immediately stood up and saluted according to the words of Prince Yan.

No matter what the many princes think, at least the person in charge of this dynasty now is Qin Ming.

No one would be so stubborn as to challenge Qin Ming while standing in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Thank you all for your kindness. I heard that Cao Chuan has been in the north recently and has been conducting handovers with you all."

"I don't know how he's doing. If you have any troubles, you can talk to me."

Qin Ming spoke with a smile, but as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone's heart moved.

What Cao Chuan did was not a handover, but a direct transfer of the cities and soldiers controlled by the local princes into the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

If this continues, there will be no place for these vassal kings in the entire north.

"Your Majesty, General Cao has secretly transferred part of our troops."

The Ming King paid the greatest price for this, and even gave away the city of Fengtian.

So at this time, he could no longer bear it and directly stated his problem.

Everyone was a little nervous.

After all, this issue is still a bit sharp.

If the two sides were not discussing the affiliation of their troops, they would not have reached the point of face-to-face discussions.

Qin Ming seemed to have anticipated what they were saying.

"This is also my arrangement. Let's go to the military camp first."

As he spoke, Qin Ming stood up.

Outside, Changbaishan has prepared the carriages and horses.

"Where are we going?"

Several princes looked at Qin Ming with strange expressions.

Qin Ming said calmly:

"Military camp."

With trepidation, they set out on the road to the military camp.

Although these princes did not quite understand, their inner curiosity diluted their doubts.

Because they really wanted to know how big Qin Ming's army had grown.

At noon, everyone arrived at the military camp.

Dinner has already started and the aroma of food wafts far away.

Today’s chef cooked a big pot of food, which includes vegetables, pork belly and other things.

Served with a bowl of rice, every soldier ate well.

"Your Majesty, is this the food for the military camp?"

Prince Su frowned and asked in surprise.

Being able to eat meat and white rice in the army was something they had never dared to imagine before.

Prince Su had reason to suspect that this was a special advance demonstration to show them the good side of the military camp.

"Yes, if you don't mind, you can eat some here."

Qin Ming looked at his strange expression and naturally guessed what Prince Su meant.

But he didn't make any excuses. He just filled a bowl and found a table nearby that was a little patinated and not very clean to eat with everyone else.

Qin Ming was so humble, so naturally Prince Yan and the others didn't say much and just ate with him.

At this time, the soldier who had finished eating nearby had returned to the cook.

"one more bowl."

"okay."

The cook didn't waste any time and filled his bowl with rice.

Now, Prince Su was a little shocked.

"Your Majesty, the meals provided in the military camp are unlimited?"

"Yes, only when you are full can you have the energy to train."

Qin Ming replied as a matter of course.

"How much will that cost?"

Prince Su immediately realized his own narrow-mindedness.

If it's just a face-saving project for them to come today.

There is absolutely no chance for the people in these troops to eat as much as they want.

Since they can eat as much as they want... doesn't that mean Qin Ming is not worried about this kind of consumption at all?

Is this even the way the troops are fed on a daily basis?!

"Not much, just basic expenses. The army's farmhouses and some farmland can cover most of it."

Qin Ming combined parts of the farmhouse and military camp, and many of the products produced were directly supplied to the army.

So even though the food is so good, it doesn’t cost too much.

"I see……"

King Yan took a deep breath, his face full of admiration.

They had long heard that Qin Ming was very powerful, but had never seen it with their own eyes.

When they saw it in person today, it really exceeded their imagination.

"If all the troops ate this kind of food, how strong would their combat effectiveness be?"

Ming Wang was a little unconfident.

Several princes were also whispering below.

To be honest, they really don't understand.

Why is the gap between me and Qin Ming so huge after just a few years?

Could it be that this Majesty is the true dragon emperor, with the help of gods behind him?

Countless thoughts swirled in their minds.

After seeing just the tip of the iceberg of Qin Ming's strength, ripples began to form in their hearts.

At this moment, Qin Ming suddenly stood up.

"Let's go and take a look at the troops."

"Is it coming..."

Behind him, Chang Baishan rubbed his hands.

These princes who had never seen the world were shocked when they just came into contact with the imperial troops.

He didn't even dare to think about whether their little hearts could bear it if they really saw the weapons and equipment of Qin Ming's troops!
