Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Qin Ming's attack was very swift.

The next day, all the troops were pushed to the front and faced the enemy. The distance between the two sides was less than two miles.

But when Qin Ming arrived at the front line to investigate, he suddenly discovered that the enemy did not show any resistance as he had imagined.

Instead, they hid in their cities.

All the troops on the entire front line will not fight against me.

It seems that he has made up his mind to just defend.

When Qin Ming saw this scene, he felt a little strange.

Logically speaking, they came here to repel me, so why did they suddenly switch from offense to defense?

"What happened to them?"

Qin Ming turned to Ye Shoujiang and asked a question. Ye Shoujiang was also a little surprised when he heard this.

"I don't know. I'll have people attack the city first and see how they react."

"Ah."

Under Ye Shoujiang's arrangement, they organized several rounds of offensive operations against various cities ahead.

During this period, a piece of news suddenly reached the court from the military camp on the front line.

"Your Majesty, the lords of the front camp have jointly written a letter to you."

When his subordinates placed the letter in front of him, Emperor Yan looked a little surprised.

He had already severed ties with these people.

It doesn’t matter whether the other party is willing to help you or not.

In his opinion, these were all outsiders, but now those people actually took the initiative to come and contact him.

Do they have any other ideas?

Out of curiosity, he opened the letter directly, but after taking a look at it, he curled his lips and laughed contemptuously.

"A bunch of low-class nobles, what kind of people are you? How dare you negotiate with the imperial court?"

In the letter they mentioned the conditions given by Qin Ming, but they did not agree.

All this is because they support Emperor Yan.

For these nobles, as long as Emperor Yan could do half of what Qin Ming did, their position would be slightly more secure.

For example, the status of the nobles would be downgraded every generation, so it would not be hereditary, but the fiefdom and treatment would be slightly reduced.

That's acceptable to them.

But even with such a request, Emperor Yan would not agree!

In the entire Yan Dynasty, apart from the core members of the upper royal family, there are the four major families apart from these people.

The other nobles basically did not have much say.

They could not maintain their status and position at all, and many of them lost their aristocratic status and became commoners after two or three generations.

These replaceable and almost consumable nobles have united and are now writing letters to themselves.

They are not worthy of making any conditions!

"Ignore it."

Emperor Yan was not too moved and even threw the letter in his hand directly into the brazier next to him.

Upon seeing this scene, Emperor Yan's personal guard whispered:

"Your Majesty, they have been blocking Qin Ming on the front line for quite some time now. If you don't agree to their request, they will probably withdraw directly."

"If they want to withdraw, then withdraw. I'm planning to move the capital. Can't we survive without them?"

Emperor Yan ignored these people's requests.

No matter which dynasty the previous kings came from, they never agreed to any conditions regarding land from the nobles below.

Because they still need to wait until these nobles die before they can reclaim the land from their hands.

This is the only way to maintain the circulation of land within the Yan Dynasty and to reward new people.

Otherwise, their system will not be able to continue.

Qin Ming can agree now, but after agreeing, how should he deal with the fiefs of those nobles?

If the land cannot be recovered by then, Yan Ziqiong will become the biggest joke in the world.

"Then...how should we respond to them?"

"Tell them this is absolutely impossible."

Emperor Yan curled his lips and made a decision directly.

Soon, his response was sent to the front line.

The many nobles who had been resisting here and waiting for the document from Emperor Yan finally gathered together on this day.

They are all diehards, and they all want to wait here for support or promises from the court.

This way, at least after the battle, they can get some compensation for their losses.

Otherwise, they would have lost so many things out of thin air after participating in the battle, which would have been a waste.

But when the news from Emperor Yan arrived, everyone was dumbfounded.

"What did you say? Your Majesty directly rejected our request without even giving us room for maneuver?"

"Yes, His Majesty said there is no room for negotiation, especially regarding the land issue."

After hearing the report from their subordinates, the faces of the second-class nobles present all turned dark.

They never imagined that such a situation would occur.

He fought desperately on the front line and lost most of his troops.

In the end, they were caught in a dilemma. Qin Ming chased them and attacked the imperial court, but they were abandoned like trash.

"That's ridiculous. What are we then?"

"I've been helping the imperial court for so long, and yet I don't get anything?!"

"Assholes! I told you before, the court is full of assholes!"

What Qin Ming and Ye Shoujiang didn't know was that the nobles from all over the country had stayed here in the past few days, and the reason they didn't choose to confront him was because they wanted to wait for the court's attitude.

Among them, a group of people believed Qin Ming's promise and chose to withdraw.

Some fence-sitters choose to wait for the right price and escape early.

There are not many troops left on their hands now.

If these troops want to fight Qin Ming, they must fight to the death.

If we persist, our entire army will be annihilated!

They don't dare to take such a big risk.

If a war really breaks out, at least the court must make a promise.

Even if the benefits are just verbal promises, they can be considered as a thought for yourself.

Only in this way can they fight Qin Ming with peace of mind.

But now it seems that the court does not treat them as human beings at all.

They are not even willing to make the most basic promises, which really makes everyone feel disappointed.

"Why don't we just retreat? There's no point in fighting like this. Even if we defeat Qin Ming, we won't get anything."

"And still win? I don't think we can win at all..."

"If we leave like this now, our entire trip here will be too embarrassing. Where will we save our face when we go back?"

As soon as they said they were leaving, everyone in the audience looked unhappy.

A few days ago, they vowed that they would never cooperate with Qin Ming, but would fight against Qin Ming!

It's only been a few days and he's already running away.

The speed of this slap in the face was so fast that even they themselves were caught off guard.

Thinking of this, everyone lowered their heads, and no one knew what to do.

Just as they were thinking about it, a voice suddenly came from somewhere on the field.

"It's the other way around..."

The sound was very subtle, but to their ears, it was like a thunderclap!
