Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"Your Majesty, Master Zhuge, what should we do?"

Dozens of officials surrounded Liu Mian and Zhuge Yuheng with horror on their faces.

Qin Ming's troops were already at the gates of the city, and the markets in their territory were in chaos.

If this continues, not to mention fighting, the enemy troops will basically just massacre us.

At this time, Liu Mian next to him looked at Zhuge Yuheng with a sneer.

"Master Zhuge, didn't you say you wanted to go to war with Daqian? Why can't you say a word now?"

Zhuge Yuheng's old face flushed red, but he didn't know how to refuse at this time.

He was the one who said he would fight, but he was not prepared for war.

At this time, Zhuge Yuheng suddenly thought of something, so he pointed at Liu Mian and began to shirk responsibility.

"Your Majesty, if you hadn't disagreed with opening the treasury, how could our army not be organized?"

"You're talking nonsense! Do I have the final say on whether to open the treasury? Didn't you go to the treasury and see for yourself that the food stored there is not enough to support our troops' march?"

Since he had already broken off relations with Zhuge Yuheng, Liu Mian's words were merciless.

Directly take away Zhuge Yuheng's last fig leaf.

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Yuheng was suddenly speechless.

In fact, what Liu Mian said was right. Zhuge Yuheng had been obstructing Liu Mian's development plan and had done many things extremely radically.

This also led to a sharp drop in the amount of money deposited into their treasury in the past one or two years.

The stocks of grain, silver, silk and other things are running low.

This was also the first time that Zhuge Yuheng discovered that his family fortune was about to be squandered by himself after being rampant for so long.

"You are the ruler of a country. Shouldn't you think of a solution at this time?"

Seeing that he could not shirk responsibility, Zhuge Yuheng directly put the blame on Liu Mian.

But Liu Mian seemed to have been prepared for this. He spread his hands and spoke.

"You started it, but you want me to finish it, Master Zhuge. Doesn't that seem inappropriate?"

"Aren't we all from Western Shu? Your Majesty, what is your intention in making such a clear distinction now?"

Zhuge Yuheng suddenly became a little annoyed. He had indeed made things a little distorted, but now it had to be ended. Apart from him, the only one who could end it was Liu Mian.

Faced with his anger, Liu Mian just shrugged.

"At worst, I can surrender. No one wants this place anyway, so I'll just pay them whatever compensation they owe me after the peace talks. But it's different for you."

"What's different about me?"

"I will not die, and the dynasty will not be destroyed. But you, after the war is lost, your ridiculous behavior will be recorded in the annals of history."

When Zhuge Yuheng heard these words, he was suddenly struck by lightning.

He did many things on his own will. The main reason for this was that many of his political views were not accepted by the old emperor during the previous dynasty.

At that time, he felt that he was talented but not appreciated. If he had the opportunity, he would definitely let go and achieve great things.

Later, the old emperor died suddenly.

This created a great opportunity for Zhuge Yuheng, who was already in a high position. He successfully seized this opportunity and began to realize his ambitions.

However, in the process of actually realizing his ambitions, he found that what he was doing seemed to be going further and further astray.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered what the old emperor had said about him.

Doing good things is enough.

Now that he thought about it carefully, he finally understood.

Why were all the constructive suggestions I put forward never adopted?

It turned out that the old emperor did not regard him as a talent for governing the country, but as a person who could get things done.

Governing a country is different from doing things.

It’s a pity that by the time Zhuge Yuheng understood this principle a little bit, he had already made too many mistakes.

So at this time he can only make mistakes.

"I just wanted to show the dignity of our dynasty, but you treat me as if I were the one who destroyed the dynasty. How ridiculous."

Suddenly Zhuge Yuheng raised his head and stared at Liu Mian fiercely.

The ministers around him also immediately realized that something was wrong.

The original intention was to discuss how to deal with Liu Chuang.

Now it has turned into a quarrel between the king and his minister, and in the end they couldn't even come up with a solution.

"I'll take care of this matter, and you don't need to interfere."

Zhuge Yuheng stood up and left the palace.

Looking at his departing back, many people had complicated expressions.

Liu Mian gave him a cold look and turned away.

It seemed that the two protagonists of this discussion had already left.

Although the officials present had different thoughts, they could not stay any longer and could only go home one by one.

But just when they hadn't come up with anything that night, another piece of news came the next day, which made everyone's heart jump.

"The Fire Camp's troops have entered our territory...!"

During the court session, soldiers from the front-line troops suddenly ran into the hall in a panic and told everyone the news.

They didn't know that Liu Chuang arranged these people for investigation.

Qin Ming's troops intuitively knew they were really going to attack, and everyone was in a panic for a moment.

The court, which had been relatively quiet, suddenly became a mess.

Some officials even prepared to go home, pack up their gold and silver and run away.

When Zhuge Yuheng and Liu Mian arrived at the hall.

It was discovered that more than half of the officials in the court had already fled.

The hall, which was originally somewhat crowded, is now even a little empty.

"Why are you still attending court? Let's all go home."

Zhuge Yuheng snorted coldly and left immediately. After he left, Liu Mian did not turn back and returned to the palace.

Several of his trusted aides have returned from Daqian and even brought back letters from Qin Ming.

In the letter, Qin Ming expressed his attitude towards him.

This also made Liu Mian feel a lot more at ease.

As for Zhuge Yuheng, he wanted to go crazy before he was completely destroyed.

He had already taken out all the supplies from the treasury last night.

Today the entire treasury is basically empty.

All supplies were delivered to the troops, and they were ordered to move quickly towards the border.

It would only take two days for them to reach the border.

As for how to fight, this issue is no longer Zhuge Yuheng's business.

He simply gave death orders to all his troops.

We must compete with Qin Ming and kill enough Daqian troops.

Faced with his crazy behavior, many of the troops under him complained.

But since the national treasury was emptied of gold, silver and jewelry, Zhuge Yuheng also sent them to various troops.

They finally gained some motivation and headed towards the border without saying a word.

After these people hesitated for a long time before taking action.

Liu Chuang finally confirmed a problem.

Western Shu really didn't deploy any troops on the border.

The defenses in front of me that had troubled me for two days were like paper!

As long as we send out troops, we can break through!
