Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Mu Liuming is not a person with a good temper.

Especially after seeing their notice and Qin Ming's response in this way, he suddenly felt a little angry.

A huge dynasty naturally has its own pride and must ensure that its dignity is not violated from the outside.

Qin Ming's behavior clearly showed a lack of respect for them.

So at this time, before Mu Liuming could let Hua Yunhong speak, he took the initiative to say:

"Your Highness, the affairs in the court have been resolved. Why not let me go to the Western Regions this time?"

Some time ago, Mu Liuming personally took to the battlefield and defeated Fang Yuanjian's troops.

In the end, even Fang Yuanjian's fiefdom was reduced by half.

After being defeated, he took all his troops and hid in the border area.

Although Fang Yuanjian is still alive, it is very difficult for him to make a comeback.

For the court of Shenmu Kingdom, this crisis has been overcome.

They can also continue to develop mechanical engineering along the conservative lines.

Use the new technologies learned from Qin Ming to assist development.

As for their external interests, they also had to protect them. Originally, they were not convenient to intervene because of the civil war. The war between the Western Regions dynasties.

But now they have free hands and can help the Western Region coalition forces fight the enemy.

This is their choice to preserve their interests.

"I think so."

Hua Yunhong nodded with satisfaction. The reason why the two of them could get together was because they had similar political views.

"Then I'll leave it to you this time."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Within three months, I will completely eliminate the sect that is causing chaos among the people."

The army of the Shenmu Kingdom is composed of well-trained elite soldiers and generals, and they also have mysterious mechanical techniques in their hands.

The combat capability is much stronger than that of conventional armies.

Not to mention those ordinary militia forces.

Just as the two were discussing, one of his men suddenly came to Hua Yunhong and whispered a few words.

Hua Yunhong's face changed.

"Why are they sending people here at this time?"

"I don't know, but I just wanted to see you."

"What happened?"

Mu Liuming looked at Hua Yunhong curiously.

Hua Yunhong frowned slightly and said:

"The Datong sect arranged for a lobbyist to come here. He seems to be the former president of the Western Region Chamber of Commerce. This guy provided a huge amount of silver during the war."

"Chu Ying?"

What surprised Hua Yunhong was that Mu Liuming also seemed to know Chu Ying.

"Are you also friends?"

Mu Liuming waved his hand and explained:

"We have some friendship. When I was arranging troops to fight outside, I would go directly to him to get the scarce supplies. He has helped us a lot."

Hearing this, Hua Yunhong could no longer refuse, so he turned around and said to his men:

"Let him come over. I'll go to the side hall and wait for him."

Seeing Hua Yunhong about to leave, Mu Liuming reminded him from behind:

"Your Highness, you don't need to worry too much. After all, this is in the interests of our entire dynasty. Even if I have a friendship with him, it cannot influence your decision."

"I see."

Hua Yunhong nodded, turned and left.

After entering Shenmu City, Chu Ying was quickly led into the palace by court officials.

When he arrived at the Shenmu Kingdom, he originally thought that the level of development here would not be as great as that of Daqian.

But when he actually set foot on this land, he found that the development here was actually quite good.

It's not like he hasn't done business here before.

But at that time, business was basically just a superficial visit. After staying here for a few days and experiencing it, he discovered.

The mechanical technology of the Shenmu Kingdom is indeed good.

It improves productivity and makes their lives more convenient.

Soon, Chu Ying passed through the long corridors of the imperial palace and came to a side hall.

It is quiet and deserted here, revealing a subtle sense of majesty.

"Your Highness is inside, please come in."

Just when Chu Ying was wondering why no one was paying attention to him.

Suddenly a man walked out and greeted him.

It was only then that Chu Ying discovered that the other party had actually walked out of a secret passage with a mechanism.

It was obvious that all their guards had hidden their bodies through mechanical means.

Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Chu Ying slowly walked into the hall.

Soon Hua Yunhong appeared.

"sit down."

Hua Yunhong pointed to the position opposite him, without being too hostile to Chu Ying.

As a prince, he still has some self-cultivation.

"My name is Chu Ying, nice to meet your Highness."

Upon seeing this, Chu Ying immediately bowed and saluted, and finally sat down after completing the formalities.

"I've heard of you. Why did you start working with the Datong Sect?"

As soon as he sat down, Chu Ying didn't speak yet.

Hua Yunhong was the first to ask him questions.

Seeing this, Chu Ying thought for a moment and then slowly responded:

"Because they are a force that can conquer the world."

"Just because of a suddenly emerging sect?"

Hearing Chu Ying's response, Hua Yunhong suddenly felt a little disdainful.

I originally thought that Chu Ying could become the president of the Western Region Chamber of Commerce, as his vision and knowledge were world-class.

But what he said made Hua Yunhong very confused.

It was because of this sentence that Chu Ying's evaluation in Hua Yunhong's mind dropped a few points.

"The orthodox teachings of the Western Regions are in the Western Regions. For so many years, the people have lived in Western China, not in the sects you mentioned."

"What makes you think they can be more powerful than the other countries in the Western Regions after they take control of it?"

There was already a hint of thorn in Hua Yunhong's words.

If an ordinary person heard what Hua Yunhong said, he would probably feel like a thorn in his back.

The person sitting in front of him is the crown prince of this dynasty, the actual ruler of the Shenmu Kingdom at this stage.

Chu Ying took a deep breath and shook his head slowly:

"They do have their own advantages, but things that are deeply rooted will not change with the times."

"For example, when new technologies were pouring into the Western Regions, they didn't think about applying them to the people. Instead, they were thinking about how to use them to make money for the court."

"This is killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. I believe that only by improving the imperial system, eliminating this outdated thinking, and promoting new technologies everywhere can we benefit the people."

His words made the conservative Hua Yunhong feel a little offended.

Because what the countries in the Western Regions did and what he did in the Shenmu Kingdom were essentially the same.

All of this is to use new technologies to consolidate imperial power and the old order.

"You think you're smart?"

"Don't you know that the laws of our ancestors cannot be changed?"

"How many people in history books died inexplicably because of the reforms, leaving behind a mess, and ultimately achieving nothing?"

"With just you, you still want to make the entire Western Region change along with your playful ideas when that vague new technology floods in? What gives you the right?"

I don’t know what I remembered.

Hua Yunhong slammed the table, stood up and started scolding, his words were a bit harsh.

Seeing this, Chu Ying frowned slightly.

"Your Highness, you seem to have lost your composure."
