Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

When Hu Weizhao heard the news from the other party, he was actually a little nervous.

He had served as a city defense general in Shenmu City for more than ten years. Although his position was extremely important, he was in charge of the defense of the entire city.

But his position has not changed much over the years.

According to the system of the Shenmu Kingdom, a general like him has reached the end of his career.

The next step up is to enter the imperial palace and become the highest-ranking general of the palace garrison. Although this is a horizontal transfer, you will have the opportunity to see His Majesty and the Crown Prince every day.

In terms of status, it is naturally very different from that of a general like himself who is stationed on the city wall and patrols the city every day.

But he will never get such an opportunity.

The reason is very simple. The defense of the palace is basically controlled by the prince and the emperor's most trusted people.

To them, Hu Weizhao, who rose from the lower-level troops, was always an outsider.

Being in charge of the defense of Shenmu City may seem glorious to outsiders, but it locked Hu Weichao in this position and left him with no further possibilities.

The best outcome for him would be to retire from this position when he is old, take his family with him, and find a place to live out his retirement in a sinecure arranged by the court.

Maybe it’s because the good times have lasted too long.

His life was monotonous every day, which made the people extremely envious, but made him feel a little sad.

To describe his life in one sentence, it is like a deep pool, without any ripples.

This faint dissatisfaction was born a long time ago.

The thoughts that he had buried for many years and never told to outsiders were finally ignited when the Fourth Prince returned from outside Shenmu City.

He decided to carry out the most important decision of his life.

Support the Fourth Prince.

As long as he succeeds, not only can he choose the position of a general in the court, but he can even raise his hereditary title to a higher level during his lifetime to benefit his descendants.

If you fail, you will go to see the King of Hell. Anyway, you have enjoyed all the happiness you should have in this life, so it’s not a loss.

But just when he chose to stand on the side of the Fourth Prince with such a carefree attitude.

Real problems hit him one after another.

There were not only shortcomings, but also opposition from court officials and the limitations of the Fourth Prince's own strength.

When he really saw that the other party was on the decline, Hu Weizhao suddenly realized that a despicable emotion seemed to surge in his heart.

He was not as fearless as he was when he was full of passion. When death really seemed to be a possibility, he was a little afraid of death.

Especially those who were buried with their families.

"General, the people are here."

Just as his mind was full of random thoughts, his subordinates came forward and brought several officials in front of him.

"Everyone, please take a seat."

Because they were all officials from Shenmu City, Hu Weichao glanced at the people in front of him and found they were all familiar faces, so he didn't say much and poured a few cups of tea for them to sit opposite him.

"Hu Weichao, you've seen the Crown Prince's strength. Are you still stubborn at this time?"

As soon as they sat down, the leader started to sneer.

After a few days of fighting, they had already realized that they had made the right choice.

They desperately tried to escape outside and seek refuge with the prince, which indeed showed their unique vision.

In comparison, Hu Weichao's situation was very dangerous.

This guy is one of the Fourth Prince's right-hand men.

In addition to Hu Weizhao, there were many high-ranking officials in the court who had taken advantage of the prince's misfortune.

According to the prince's style of doing things, these people will probably all be liquidated.

Therefore, everyone in the court is now in danger.

Of course, these officials who went forward to express their loyalty early on will not be affected in any way.

When he spoke at this time, he had a tone of being aloof.

"You don't need to worry about this. If you have something to say, just talk about it."

Hu Weichao's face suddenly turned ugly when the other party hit his sore spot.

But he still kept a straight face, trying not to reveal his regret.

Except for a few officials who firmly supported one side, most of the other officials in the court were fence-sitters.

Including Hu Weizhao himself, after he had misjudged the person, he was also full of hesitation.

But we have to finish the path we have chosen, no matter how hard we try. We are all pillars of the court and have a good reputation, so we can't let people laugh at us.

"Haha, let's see how long you can keep your stubborn attitude."

Several people did not hide their sarcasm at all.

But soon, they told us their purpose for today.

"His Highness said that if the Fourth Prince is willing to return to the north and stop interfering in government affairs, he can guarantee that he will never take action against him in the future."

"How can it be."

Hu Weichao sneered.

Everyone in the court knew Hua Yunhong's methods.

This person has become more and more narrow-minded and less patient in recent years.

But at this moment he suddenly behaved so magnanimously.

When a vengeful person says something like that, it's like he's lying to a child; it's not credible at all.

But the news that the other party said next made Hu Weichao stunned.

"The Emperor Daqian is the guarantor."

"Ok?"

When talking about this matter, Hu Weizhao's face suddenly changed.

He knew that Qin Ming had written a letter to Hua Yuanzheng, but he didn't know that in addition to Hua Yuanzheng, Hua Yunhong had also received the message and agreed to Qin Ming's proposal.

If that's the case, there's a good chance I still have a chance of survival.

His support for the Fourth Prince had already begun to waver.

If Hua Yunhong was willing to let him go, he would go and advise the Fourth Prince immediately.

However, since this was a negotiation, he naturally couldn't reveal his thoughts clearly, and chose his words in his mind. After some discussion, he said to the others:

"Since everyone hopes that the Fourth Prince will withdraw his troops, I can actually help you pass on some messages during this period."

"It's just that I did a lot of things for the Fourth Prince, and as for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

When he said this, he looked at a few people.

They were silent for a moment.

After hearing what he said, I immediately understood what he meant.

In fact, they had already realized that Hu Weichao had boarded the pirate ship and it would be difficult for him to get off.

If Hua Yunhong could give him some opportunities and keep him alive.

Who knows, this guy might turn around and go back to advise the Fourth Prince. Thinking of this, the leading official immediately made a promise.

"Don't worry about this matter. When we return, we will definitely ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to guarantee your safety."

"If you don't believe me, you can just go back north with the Fourth Prince. We won't be able to stay in Shenmu City anymore anyway, so finding somewhere else to go would be a good idea."

If Hu Weichao wants to survive now, he definitely cannot stay in Shenmu City.

After all, he had acted in a rebellious manner, which had kept him under his nose.

Hua Yunhong would definitely not nod his head.

At this time, it would be best for him to leave on his own initiative and follow the Fourth Prince to the north.

Or he could leave the Shenmu Kingdom with his family.
