Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

If the conflict between Hua Yunhong and these old ministers had not been made public.

In fact, the two sides can make big things small.

After all, Hua Yunhong had just ascended the throne, and there were still many opportunities for discussion.

But when Chu Ying arranged people to comply with Qin Ming's affairs, the matter became bigger and bigger.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the confrontation between them.

This involves the issue of face, and it is impossible to negotiate privately behind closed doors.

It is precisely for this reason that neither Hua Yunhong nor this group of veteran officials are willing to take a step back.

Retreating would mean they would lose face in front of the people of the world.

"Who told them to write that in the newspaper?"

When Hua Yunhong saw the newspaper, he was furious.

Chu Ying is a complete bastard.

At a time like this, you're flattering yourself to death.

He also said that he was an iron-fisted emperor.

I will not change my mind because of the commotion of these people below.

This is naked flattery.

The purpose is to put himself in opposition to those old ministers.

"Your Majesty, if they continue like this, none of us will be able to back down. Didn't this newspaper shamelessly send us gifts just two days ago? Why are they resorting to such underhanded tactics now? Why don't we get rid of them?"

It is a shame to see that the newspaper industry is still in such a mess.

Du Zi suddenly felt extremely angry. They had already given Fang Yuanjian and Chu Ying the greatest tolerance.

Knowing that war should not be started, no troops were even sent to attack them.

But even after taking so many steps back, the other party was still not satisfied and even wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble.

To Hua Yunhong, who already had a bad temper, such behavior was no different from a provocation.

Aren’t they afraid that Hua Yunhong will directly send troops to attack Fang Yuanjian?

Did they kill Chu Ying, who was hiding deep in their territory, with a single blow?

"Go and call Chu Ying over. I want to see him in person."

"Write a letter to Qin Ming and ask him what he means."

Hua Yunhong and Qin Ming have now changed from a state of war to a state of friendship.

The war between Shenmu Kingdom and Daqian was basically over.

In addition, the two major forces of Xishu and Fang Yuanjian stood in the middle, serving as their buffer zone.

It is foreseeable that there will not be a major war between the two sides in the next ten years.

But even so, Qin Ming still let Chu Ying continue to target him with newspapers.

This made Hua Yunhong extremely angry.

He no longer understood what Qin Ming was trying to do.

Soon, a letter was delivered to the local Tongbao Pavilion.

Recently, Hua Yunhong has also understood how Qin Ming delivered the message.

There was no need to spend too much effort to send someone to deliver the letter to the Western Regions.

Instead, the letter was sent to the local Tongbao Pavilion.

They could use a telegraph to quickly send the message to Qin Ming, and the round trip would take at most half a day.

"Do you want to see Chu Ying in person? Your Majesty...what qualifications does he have?"

When Du Zi heard this, he immediately felt something was wrong.

If it were before, Du Zi might have agreed with what Hua Yunhong said.

After all, Hua Yunhong was just a prince at that time.

You can meet anyone.

But now it’s different. Hua Yunhong is now the supreme ruler and the one who rules the entire Shenmu Kingdom.

A person of such noble status had to condescend to meet a businessman.

Or after he ascended the throne, he took the initiative to invite the other party into the palace.

If Chu Ying spreads this news again, people will definitely have different opinions.

It might even affect Hua Yunhong's reputation.

"Spread the news first and see how they react."

"If Qin Ming continues to do this, there's no need for us to hold back."

A fierce light flashed in Hua Yunhong's eyes. He had already given too much face. If the other party did not respond at all, there was no need to say anything more.

"I see."

It seems that Hua Yunhong has made a decision.

At this time, Du Zi naturally had no way to disobey.

He quickly left the palace and contacted the local Tongbao Pavilion.

But less than two hours after he left, he returned to the palace.

Behind him followed a person Hua Yunhong was very familiar with.

"Chu Ying?"

Seeing this guy actually coming in front of him.

I even predicted that I would meet him.

At this time Hua Yunhong was a little surprised.

He is the ruler of a country, so naturally he doesn't want others to guess his thoughts.

"His Majesty sent me here."

As if seeing his confusion, Chu Ying slowly began to explain.

"Qin Ming?"

Unexpectedly, Qin Ming had guessed his thoughts again and even arranged for Chu Ying to come over in advance.

Has this guy been plotting against me?

Thinking of this, Hua Yunhong suddenly felt a little annoyed.

He already wanted to attack Chu Ying right here and kill him.

But before that, he had a few more questions to ask.

"You send me gifts, yet you scheme against me, praising me so highly in the newspapers. This repetition is disgusting. What's your real purpose?"

"Your Majesty, we are helping you."

Chu Ying spoke earnestly, then took out a newspaper from his arms.

"You can look at the results of our recent survey. Currently, more than 70% of the people support the promotion of new technologies."

"what?"

Chu Ying's words made Hua Yunhong stunned, and he immediately took the newspaper.

I found out that Chu Ying actually counted a lot of people who bought newspapers in the newspaper and asked them what their attitudes were towards steam engines.

Surprisingly.

Most people are actually very supportive.

Especially among the lower-class people, there are even more supporters.

Seeing his surprised expression, Chu Ying continued:

"You might find it strange that so many people who originally resisted Daqian's technology have now turned around and supported it."

"You used newspapers for publicity."

Hua Yunhong was not a stupid man and quickly guessed what Chu Ying had done behind the scenes.

Although these recent newspaper articles are all following normal narratives.

The conflict between Hua Yunhong and these conservative old ministers also seems normal.

But read carefully what is written in these newspapers.

It can be found that many descriptions in the newspapers are actually inclined towards Daqian's new technology.

These scholars who write newspapers are very talented.

Unknowingly, the people had been pulled into Hua Yunhong's camp.

"You finally figured it out."

"We are not adding fuel to the fire as you said. On the contrary, we have always been showing goodwill and helping you."

Chu Ying spoke seriously.

Hua Yunhong was not so easily fooled by him.

He added coldly:

"You supported me, but the price you paid was that all my old ministers would become alienated from me, right?"

"Your Majesty, there is always a price to pay for every gain. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Don't you understand?"

Chu Ying did not retreat and looked directly into Hua Yunhong's murderous eyes.

The air seemed to be stagnant at this moment.
