Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Yan Zheng took his seat and began today's negotiations.

"You and Princess Tiance were allies before, so you and I are half allies too. After all, we both belong to the Yan Dynasty."

"but……"

Suddenly, he changed the subject and said:

"I feel that this half-alliance is not a true alliance."

"I wonder if Your Majesty would be so kind as to allow our cooperation to take another step forward?"

Yan Zheng’s goal is to win over Qin Ming.

For this purpose, he even told Qin Ming a huge secret.

That is, in addition to the Tiger Roar Guard, the court has begun to hand over part of the Giant Elephant Army to him.

You should know that these are the three most powerful armies of the Yan Dynasty now.

One is the Snow Mountain Cavalry in the north, another is the Tiger Roar Guard, and the last one is the Giant Elephant Army.

Among them, the Snow Mountain Cavalry in the north is only very capable in combat in extremely cold areas. After changing locations, they no longer have much advantage, so they are not often mentioned.

The Tiger Roar Guards are a top elite force with strong comprehensive capabilities and unwavering convictions.

With the firm belief cultivated from childhood, as long as the military order is given, they will not retreat even if they fight to the last man.

Even facing the four armies of Fenglinhuoshan, they were able to fight back and forth.

No matter how strong these two forces are, Qin Ming can handle them.

There is only one last army, the Elephant Army.

This was the army that made Ye Shoujiang shake his head after seeing it.

Elephants have thick skin and flesh, and after being tamed, they have a certain degree of mobility and cannot be penetrated by ordinary ammunition.

On the battlefield, it can even overturn Daqian's chariots.

Especially since Qin Ming's Daqian was far away from Yan Dynasty, it was impossible to pull all the chariots over to fight.

The number of chariots on the battlefield of the Yan Dynasty was limited, and there was no way to fight against the giant elephant army.

So after knowing the other party's cards, Qin Ming signed a ceasefire agreement with them, and both sides got what they needed.

"It seems that you are going to ascend to the throne?"

Qin Ming did not respond to his request directly, but changed the subject and brought up the dispute over the throne.

Yan Zheng said seriously:

"Yes, it can only be me!"

His confident look made Qin Ming feel worried about Yan Ziqiong's situation.

In comparison, Yan Zheng's conditions are much better than Yan Ziqiong's in all aspects.

Letting such a person take power will have a huge impact on Qin Ming.

It seems that the royal family of the Yan Dynasty has also made up their minds to nominate the third prince Yan Zheng as the new emperor of the Yan Dynasty.

"What if Yan Ziqiong resists?"

Qin Ming suddenly asked this question.

Hearing this, Yan Zheng frowned and said:

"Impossible, why would she?"

"If Your Majesty has a personal relationship with her, I can spare her life."

"Before I ascend the throne, the Yan Dynasty will increase the resources it previously provided you by another 10%."

"In addition, the Yan Dynasty can reduce the commodity tax on Daqian by another 30% for two years."

"This is my greatest sincerity, and it will take effect from now on, as long as Your Majesty nods."

Yan Zheng now has great power.

These important matters can be decided by the royal family themselves without even the consent of the top royal officials.

It seems that in the past one or two years, Yan Zheng has already handled many aspects of the royal family.

"What if I don't agree?"

Qin Ming asked curiously.

Yan Zheng was stunned for a moment, but still remained gentle on the surface.

"Your Majesty, I cannot imagine why you would disapprove."

"But don't worry. Even if you don't agree to help me seize the throne, it won't affect the treaty you signed with the Yan Dynasty. We can still do business."

"It seems that the Third Prince is an upright person. I will consider your request."

Yan Zheng frowned and said:

"Your Majesty, are you not going to nod your head today?"

"Yes."

After a moment's silence, Yan Zheng's brain raced.

He really couldn't figure it out.

Qin Ming and Yan Ziqiong did not have much contact.

However, he gave her the trading rights and secretly supported her in many ways.

Originally, Yan Zheng had thought that Qin Ming might be making efforts against Yan Dynasty, hoping to restrict Yan Dynasty through Yan Ziqiong, so that he could gain greater benefits.

That's why after arriving in Daqian, he offered Qin Ming some benefits that were so attractive that they could move people.

The purpose is to squeeze out Yan Ziqiong so that he can get her original position.

But the reality is that even if he tried his best, he still couldn't pry Qin Ming around.

Then there is only one possibility!

With thousands of thoughts swirling in his mind, Yan Zheng quickly came up with the answer.

"Your Majesty, are you not just friends? Could it be that you've taken things a step further?"

Only in this way can we explain Qin Ming's special care and preference for Yan Ziqiong.

"Yes."

Qin Ming smiled.

Yan Zheng is indeed a smart man.

It would be difficult for the relationship between him and Yan Ziqiong to remain undiscovered.

Even Yan Ziqiong herself had discussed this with Qin Ming.

If he could not control the situation in the future, or if the relationship between the two became public, then the only way left for him was to seize power by relying on his own hard power.

However, neither Qin Ming nor Yan Ziqiong had expected that things would develop so quickly.

"I see."

Yan Zheng's face turned ugly.

I no longer have an appetite to eat the delicacies in front of me.

The atmosphere at the scene was silent.

Qin Ming and Yan Zheng didn't say anything.

After a long silence, Yan Zheng finally spoke slowly:

"Your Majesty, the dispute over the crown prince of the Yan Dynasty has always been our family affair."

"I don't want you to get involved, no matter how hard it is."

"That's it for today. Yan Dynasty will continue to trade with Daqian, but from now on, Yan Ziqiong will not interfere with Yan Dynasty's trade."

Yan Zheng did not get the answer he wanted, and he also learned a shocking piece of news. At this time, he no longer had any hope in Qin Ming.

Yan Ziqiong, who he originally thought could be easily suppressed, quietly became his biggest enemy!

After he left, Song Dingsheng came out from behind hesitantly and asked Qin Ming in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, is it really okay to tell him about this?"

"What's wrong? Yan Dynasty is about to fall into chaos again. Notify the Yan Dynasty garrison that they can start assisting Yan Ziqiong."

Qin Ming also has a force in the Yan Dynasty.

This was the garrison he originally left in Yan Dynasty.

If Yan Ziqiong starts to compete with Yan Zheng for the throne, these troops will not need to disguise themselves and can directly assist Yan Ziqiong.

As for the discussions and doubts, Yan Ziqiong has the ability to resolve them.

"Supporting the empress to the throne is truly an extraordinary story."

"The key is that this person is your imperial concubine... Your Majesty, you are amazing."

Song Dingsheng seized the opportunity and immediately praised him a lot.

Qin Ming shook his head and said:

"There's nothing to be said about this matter. I just want to know what the Yan royal family will do after Yan Ziqiong and Daqian's relationship is exposed."

Qin Ming's move was not just to inform Yan Zheng.

The biggest goal is actually to inform the top leaders of the Yan royal family.

If their attitude could change, Yan Ziqiong would probably feel much better.
