Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

The news soon reached Hua Yunhong's ears.

After learning that they had actually blocked Shenmu City, Hua Yunhong's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out of it.

Du Zi, who was standing by, sighed slightly after seeing this situation.

"Your Highness, it seems we must fight on this trip back."

In fact, Hua Yunhong had already anticipated this matter.

What he was concerned about now was not these, but another situation. He turned to Du Zi and asked:

"How's the person you contacted? Can Sun Jinshan give me some positive publicity?"

The situation is now extremely unfavorable to him.

The key is that the Fourth Prince has the support of his reputation, as he was originally a crown prince.

He came here specifically at a time like this, and he was clean, without any rumors.

Many people may bet on him for this reason.

But Hua Yunhong has been working for the court for so many years and is about to succeed.

Yet it has been slandered to this extent.

In the end, he could hardly even maintain the legitimacy of his throne.

This also made him very uncomfortable.

So he made reversing his reputation a top priority.

Even now, when he is rushing towards Shenmu City, he needs the support of many people.

If he continues to have such a bad reputation, no one will be willing to continue supporting him.

Thinking of this, he urged Du Zi.

Du Zi found Hua Yunhong today, actually he wanted to talk about this matter.

After sighing, he slowly spoke:

"They mentioned something called a telegraph, and without it we can't get anything done."

"Telegraph?"

It was only then that Hua Yunhong finally remembered what a telegraph was.

He has been to Daqian several times.

I know that there are all kinds of new and interesting things in Daqian.

He had also heard of the telegraph.

Now that he had contact with the newspaper, he finally understood why Tongbao Pavilion was able to communicate information from all directions so quickly and sell the newspaper throughout the Shenmu Kingdom.

It seems that they are indeed very powerful.

If they relied on the telegraph to produce the newspaper, then it would be impossible for them to poach Sun Jinshan.

Because Sun Jinshan still relies on Daqian's technology.

"It seems that the key point of this matter lies with Chu Ying."

"But we cut off one of Chu Ying's fingers before. This guy has no room for easing us. How can we ask him to help?"

After hearing the key point mentioned by the other party, Du Zi on the side hesitated.

Although Hua Yunhong can now seek help from Chu Ying, the relationship between the two sides has become very tense.

There is no room for reconciliation at all.

The key point is that from the very beginning, Hua Yunhong never looked down on Chu Ying.

He thought he was a dog under Qin Ming, but now Chu Ying has become an important figure in the entire Shenmu Kingdom with the help of Qin Ming.

The Tongbao Pavilion in his hands also had a huge impact on his path to the throne.

This forced Hua Yunhong to bow his head.

Hearing the other party's reminder, Hua Yunhong frowned immediately.

"We've already given them the Western Regions. Isn't that enough?"

A few days ago, he had given up the idea of ​​competing with Qin Ming.

He knew he had failed now.

Since you are going to fail, fail completely.

Otherwise, I would always pay attention to whether my initial investment can be recovered and continue to persevere.

It will only cause him to lose more and more.

It was for this reason that he did not stay any longer and directly called back all his troops.

This also left the entire Western Region coalition forces aside.

Only with such an action can Qin Ming be relieved of any pressure.

Just wait until the internal strife among the countries in the Western Regions ends.

All territory problems can be solved.

But even if he did this now, Qin Ming might not appreciate it.

After all, it was the Shenmu Kingdom that originally wanted to compete for this piece of cake.

So at this time, if they wanted to ask Qin Ming for help to order Chu Ying to do things, it would actually be very difficult.

"First, arrange for someone to talk to Fang Yuanjian. If he is willing to help, I can give him a piece of land."

"Your Highness, we can't lose the big picture while picking up sesame seeds. Are you going to let Fang Yuanjian go just to defeat the Fourth Prince?"

When Du Zi heard the decision made by Hua Yunhong, his eyes widened.

He was very dissatisfied with Hua Yunhong's action.

You have to know that they originally spent a lot of effort to suppress Fang Yuanjian.

The most important point is that Fang Yuanjian has made a comeback.

They even encroached on their southern lands.

Now it’s just to defeat Hua Yuanzheng.

He actually wanted Fang Yuanjian to return and also wanted to give him some land.

They absolutely could not accept such a thing. Not only Du Zi could not accept it, but even the officials in the court could not accept it.

Hua Yunhong glanced at him. At this time, he had already seen through the essence of the problem.

"You think too simply. Don't forget, the person standing behind Fang Yuanjian is Qin Ming."

Before he ascended the throne, Hua Yunhong didn't want to continue wasting time with Qin Ming.

In terms of national strength, the difference between the two sides is mainly due to their accumulation of mechanical technology in previous years.

But if we don’t vigorously develop technology in the future.

They are always getting further and further away from Daqian.

At this time, he wanted to develop steadily and gradually promote new technologies.

After being beaten so many times, he has figured it out.

If he didn't develop new technologies like Fang Yuanjian, he would definitely suffer a great loss in the future.

His thoughts gradually changed.

One good thing about Hua Yunhong is that he will make judgments based on changes in the situation and will not always stick to his own position.

As for the diehards in the court, he originally had no way to deal with them.

That's why I firmly support them in protecting the art of machinery.

But now everything is different. As long as he can fight back to Shenmu City, he can take control of the power.

By then, these old diehards will no longer be able to stop him.

"So that's it."

In fact, Du Zi wanted to expel Fang Yuanjian as soon as possible.

Thinking that Qin Ming was behind Fang Yuanjian, he also felt very troubled.

If they force a confrontation with Qin Ming at this stage, they will suffer heavy losses.

The key point will also affect the path to the throne, so he also agreed to contact Fang Yuanjian's idea.

As long as Fang Yuanjian is given what he wants, at least this guy can settle down now and even help Hua Yunhong.

It was impossible for Fang Yuanjian to return to the court or even compete for the position of emperor.

After all, he has too few people under his command, and his supporters are limited to the southern border area.

If there are no other major changes, his steps will have to stop here.

But Hua Yunhong and Hua Yuanzheng are different. They both have a solid foundation.

There are also hundreds of thousands of troops.

If a war really breaks out, it will be a devastating situation for the entire Shenmu Kingdom.
