Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

If many things fall into their hands, they can turn black into white.

Faced with this situation, they all have to be on guard.

Following the wave, a group of people soon came out and brought the food to the table.

The three of them sat down and prepared to eat.

"By the way, His Majesty came here specifically to ask you to come here. Is there something important to discuss?"

At this time, Fang Yuanjian's neighbor suddenly spoke.

After two drinks, he started to take the lead for Fang Yuanjian.

In fact, the reason why I spoke just now was very simple, that is, Fang Yuanjian's identity has not been determined yet.

It is not certain whether to surrender to others.

If he called Hua Yunhong "Your Majesty".

We will definitely lose to them in terms of momentum.

So at this time Fang Yuanjian didn't want to send out this signal.

He only asked the people around him to call the other party "Your Majesty".

This can be considered as showing some goodwill and face.

When he heard this, Du Zi next to him smiled and nodded.

"Yes, His Majesty has been very concerned about the affairs of the South recently. I've heard that you've done a good job governing here, so I'd like to ask if you're willing to cooperate with the court. We'll help you restore your status and reputation in the newspapers when the time comes."

Du Zi's statement is very tempting.

After all, he is a prince in the court, and Fang Yuanjian does not want to leave the court to set up his own family.

But he is now the target of public criticism.

There wasn't much room for him in the court.

But if Hua Yunhong is willing to take the initiative to help him pave the way and establish his identity at the same time.

The rest of the story is actually very simple.

Fang Yuanjian could return to the court soon. After hearing this, he was silent for a while.

But there has been no response.

The reason for not responding is simple.

That is, at this stage, there are basically not many people who can bring him benefits.

Most people were attracted by his territory and the army he had.

But Hua Yunhong needs something more.

Hua Yunhong knew that Fang Yuanjian had followed Qin Ming for such a long time.

Whether it is fighting a war or supporting the expansion of Tongbao Pavilion here, he can master many secrets.

These secrets will become the key for him to fight against Qin Ming.

So he tried his best to win over Fang Yuanjian.

As long as Fang Yuanjian nods, he can give the other party a lot of benefits.

But he forgot one thing.

That is, in order to ascend the throne, he did many things against Fang Yuanjian.

No one knows whether the other party is willing to let go of his prejudice now.

After saying this, Fang Yuanjian said in a low voice:

"If you had offered me this kind of conditions a few months ago, I would have gone with you without hesitation, but the situation is different now..."

"I've already reclaimed the land here through my own means, and I've even led them in developing new technologies. Back then, you were terrified of these technologies. Now that everything's stable, you're asking me for favors. Isn't that a bit immoral?"

Faced with Fang Yuanjian's complaints, Du Zi had naturally already prepared for the response.

He immediately put on a very humble attitude and spoke sincerely.

"Your Highness, we were wrong in what happened before. His Majesty and I sincerely apologize to you."

"But you should already know His Majesty's current situation. He has not listened to anyone's advice and has chosen to follow the same path as you. He is also willing to take the initiative to reconcile with you."

"You should have witnessed these tremendous changes. Whether it's hearsay or what I'm describing to you now, I'm sincere about it. I hope you can think it over carefully. It would be best if you could resolve the past grievances with His Majesty. This is what benefits the country and the people."

"Don't forget, we are all from the Kingdom of God. There's no need for an outsider to affect our internal harmony. The development and growth of the entire kingdom is the primary goal for you and members of the royal family like His Majesty."

"Therefore, no matter how many setbacks or misunderstandings you encounter, His Majesty will not take it to heart. He knows that you are also a person of great vision. If you can work with him, he will definitely not treat you unfairly..."

I heard him describe these things in bits and pieces.

At this time, Fang Yuanjian on the side had fallen silent.

As for the person next to him, he didn't say anything, but carefully considered the pros and cons.

"what do I need to do?"

After a long time, Fang Yuanjian suddenly raised his head.

When he heard this, Du Zidun was ecstatic.

He knew that his advice had worked in some way.

If we can convince this great Buddha, then affairs in the south won't be so troublesome in the future.

Fang Yuanjian, who has a large army, can help them settle many things.

"That's right. You don't need to do anything. Just explain Qin Ming's situation to us and then lay off 30% of the troops."

"Oh? You guys want quite a lot."

Fang Yuanjian spoke coldly.

It is very simple to disband the troops.

But telling Qin Ming the secret is to make Fang Yuanjian betray Qin Ming directly.

After talking about this issue, Fang Yuanjian did not nod directly.

"I'm aware of this matter. I can't promise you much. I'll need to see how you perform before I can determine whether you'll truly cooperate with your so-called Majesty."

"Then you mean..."

Du Zi looked at Fang Yuanjian and spoke curiously.

Fang Yuanjian stretched out two fingers at this time.

"I'll tell you Qin Ming's secret later. For now, I'll cut 20% of the troops. You can take this news back to see His Majesty. If he nods and gives me a satisfactory response, I will continue to work with him."

There is actually nothing wrong with Fang Yuanjian’s choice.

He has now cut 20% of his troops in order to clear his name.

I hope Hua Yunhong can help me restore my reputation in the newspaper as soon as possible and establish my royal identity.

Only by restoring his reputation can Hua Yunhong get Fang Yuanjian's help without any scruples.

Hearing this, Du Zi pondered for a moment and slowly said:

"Okay, but you don't need Your Majesty to clarify the matter in the newspapers. I can do it myself. In the next two days, we will have your name cleared in newspapers across the land."

"I will return your royal status and your position in the imperial court to you, and I'll also apologize to you."

Hearing this, Fang Yuanjian on the side could no longer contain himself.

His heart began to pound. His taking over Daqian's new technology had always been seen as heresy by others.

But now everything is different.

He was actually recognized by the court and received support from Hua Yunhong.

This means that he will have a bigger and broader world to act in the future.
