Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

The news of Qin Ming's action was like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake, causing ripples.

All the major forces involved are watching.

The people involved in Western Shu were in a state of panic.

"Isn't it just about getting the technology back? Even if we can't get the technology back, there's no need to kill people."

"Your Majesty, those power generation technologies are beyond our comprehension. If we don't take action, the gap between us and Daqian will only grow wider."

"You don't know, after they connected the streets to that thing called electricity, the streets of the capital are bright every night, just like during the day!"

Several ministers who were in charge of connecting with spies in Daqian were arguing with each other in the Western Shu Palace.

The old emperor of Western Shu died a year ago.

The current emperor who succeeded to the throne was the third among his descendants and his name was Liu Mian.

He was very angry at this time.

Since the old emperor died suddenly of illness, he came to the throne only because of the decline of talented people in Western Shu. After the death of the previous emperor, he had to find someone to maintain the stability of the court.

So Liu Mian was elected and became the emperor of Western Shu.

The hasty rise to power led to frequent problems in Western Shu under Liu Mian's governance.

Even the radicals who had been suppressed in the court began to regain their voice.

This is also why Western Shu, which had been stable for many years, suddenly took advantage of the turmoil in the Western Regions and, despite the pressure of public opinion, insisted on sending troops to attack and expand its territory.

I can’t even manage the internal affairs.

Liu Mian had even less understanding of the foreign policy measures previously arranged by his father.

It was only after something happened that Liu Mian learned about the existence of such a team that was trying to obstruct Qin Ming's technological development.

"electricity……"

Faced with several ministers who were more reasonable than him, Liu Mian sighed and repeated what they said.

"No matter how powerful the electricity is, I don't have time to worry about it right now. Let's think about how to mediate the war first."

Liu Mian believes that his troops have developed well in the past two years.

But compared with Qin Ming's troops, there is still a big gap.

If the enemy really attacks, not to mention one Xishu, even two or three Xishus won’t be able to stop them.

He is a terrifying existence who just returned from a victorious battle in Yan Dynasty.

Can Western Shu be compared with the Yan Dynasty?

Obviously it can't be done.

"Your Majesty, why do you need to beg for mercy?"

Just when Liu Mian raised his opinion with concern.

Zhuge Yuheng, the internal affairs officer of the Western Regions, suddenly spoke.

He was one of the representatives of the radical faction in the court.

When the previous emperor was in power, he made suggestions many times, and his words were particularly radical.

It was just that the old emperor had been in power for many years and, against all odds, decided to run the dynasty in a steady manner.

After he made this decision, the entire Western Shu developed lukewarmly.

Although Zhuge Yuheng was dissatisfied, the old emperor's imperial majesty was untouchable and he was unable to move his fists or feet.

After the old emperor's death, the era belonging to Zhuge Yuheng finally arrived.

But things did not go as he wished. Just when he was about to make a big move and realize his ambitions.

One day, Liu Mian suddenly announced in front of everyone that he would inherit the old emperor's national policy!

Rest and recuperate, and get along peacefully with all the surrounding dynasties...

As soon as this decision was made, Zhuge Yuheng became angry.

After retiring from court, he made a decision that went against his ancestors.

Form a party!

He has had this idea for many years.

However, as a minister, he never dared to do so due to various reasons.

The national policy announced by Liu Mian in the court was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Since then, Zhuge Yuheng began to form cliques crazily for personal gain, and his followers were spread throughout the court.

Zhuge Yuheng had been an official for many years and his methods were naturally brutal.

Realizing that Liu Mian was unable to control him, his behavior became more and more outrageous.

Excluding dissidents is commonplace.

He also began to take action, sending some of his longtime political enemies to prison.

He even killed a few people with his own hands.

Such brutal means.

After seeing that the situation was not right, some of the former moderate officials were forced to join his party under his tyranny.

As their power grew, Zhuge Yuheng's faction even showed a tendency to subtly overthrow the imperial power.

This also made Liu Mian very vigilant.

He would quarrel with Zhuge Yuheng almost every two days, but most of the time the other party had the upper hand.

As time went by, Liu Mian was too lazy to even argue with Zhuge Yuheng about trivial matters.

But things are different today. This is a question of how to treat Daqian, and it even concerns the survival of the entire dynasty!

"If you don't beg for mercy, what good solution do you have?"

Hearing what he said, Liu Mian snorted coldly and asked directly.

Zhuge Yuheng immediately waved his hand and said:

"Western Shu has strong soldiers and horses, and their firearms are sophisticated. Although they are inferior to Daqian, if they dare to come, they will definitely not gain any advantage."

"We can't just keep following Daqian like this. We have to show off some of our skills so that they know how powerful we are!"

"Let's fight first. Even if we can't win, at least we won't lose face for Xishu! We can talk about peace talks after the battle!"

Fighting such a war is completely meaningless.

Liu Mian finally understood what he meant.

Zhuge Yuheng is accustomed to refuting himself and then constantly looking for ways to support his arguments.

The reason is to suppress the imperial power.

It’s a pity that he was wrong this time.

"Zhuge Yuheng, are you so bored that you have to show off your skills to others? It's just a craftsman who died, do you have to cause a fight?"

"Given our current military strength, it's a pipe dream for you to fight Qin Ming. If a real fight breaks out, can you fight on the battlefield? Our people will die anyway."

When Zhuge Yuheng heard Liu Mian say this about him, he immediately frowned. There were many officials in the room.

Liu Mian actually rejected his own face like this.

He was a little annoyed, perhaps because things had been going too smoothly recently. Liu Mian spoke directly:

"We'll only know whether we can win after we fight."

Seeing that Zhuge Yuheng was starting to get stuck in a rut, Liu Mian suddenly had an idea.

"I absolutely disagree, but if you want to fight, you can arrange your own people, and I will definitely not stop you."

He was worried that he had no way to bring down Zhuge Yuheng, but he didn't expect that this guy's mentality was becoming more and more inflated.

Liu Mian wanted to take this opportunity to frame him.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Yuheng nodded and said:

"Your Majesty, are you really going to let us do it?"

"I'm not letting you go, but you want to go."

Liu Mian corrected him, but Zhuge Yuheng nodded, turned around and left without saying anything else.

Western Shu was not very big, and only covered the area of ​​two counties, Daqian and Qian.

Soon, the dispute between Liu Mian and Zhuge Yuheng spread among the people.

With Liu Mian's instigation, the people started to curse.

They were all cursing Zhuge Yuheng.

However, the arrow was on the string and had to be shot, and Zhuge Yuheng's troops had begun to assemble.

Just when they gathered.

Qin Ming's hand has already reached out.
