Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 741: Abandoning the Imperial Court and Becoming King

"Divide the land and make your own..."

"If the court is unkind, then I will be unjust!"

Tiny sounds came from all directions.

Everyone looked up suddenly, looking for the source of the sound.

But everyone present fell silent again at this moment.

No matter how they looked left and right, they had no idea who had said those words.

Rebellion is allowed, but no one can take the initiative.

Because no matter what era, as long as you rebel, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

Especially this kind of behavior of taking advantage of the chaos to betray the court.

So when discussing this kind of thing, no one dared to speak directly, and they could only whisper.

There was silence for a long time.

Finally, someone suddenly stood up.

"Since you all have stayed here, you must all want to get a piece of the pie from the court. Since the court is unwilling to share a piece with us, then we should unite ourselves."

"We hold a large army. Even if we don't serve the imperial court as dogs, we can still become local lords."

"That makes sense. Being a local lord is completely enough!"

"Our territories are not far from each other. If we have the spare capacity after we return, we can even expand them a little bit so that all our territories can be connected together and we can take care of each other."

"Yes, Not Bad!"

Now everyone's eyes lit up.

It is impossible for them to directly take up the banner of rebellion.

But it is still possible to seize control of one side while the chaos is going on!

Take advantage of this opportunity to encroach on the surrounding areas, expand your own territory, and join forces with others to compete for the world.

Even if he cannot ascend the throne of the emperor in the end, at least he can rule the country for a long time.

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes lit up.

They have already started thinking about how to unite with the major forces around them.

You know, what they lack the least here is people and land.

With their strong population and resource advantages, they will have a lot of room for development in the future.

After opening the door to the new world, everyone is eager to return home.

As for the issue of troop withdrawal, there is no need to discuss it at all.

Everyone is ready to withdraw their troops.

Qin Ming received the news at noon.

"Your Majesty, we've noticed that many of the troops on the front lines have withdrawn. I wonder what they're up to."

"Your Majesty, all the transportation routes behind us have been cleared. No one is taking care of us anymore!"

……

Good news came quickly from all directions.

Qin Ming looked at the various messages coming from the telegraph machine and felt a little strange at this moment.

Logically speaking, it would be great if I could drive away most of the people in such a short time.

The remaining ones are definitely tough nuts to crack. Even if I fight them head-on, it might take several days.

But now I haven't suffered any loss at all.

The other party actually left like this...

Obviously, they must have been influenced by other aspects, but where exactly did this influence come from?

Now even he was puzzled.

That night he called several of his generals to a meeting and told them the details of the situation.

"This is a good thing. Why should we care so much? Just keep going forward."

Chang Baishan slammed the table and burst into laughter.

Liu Chuang, who was standing next to him, immediately stood up, waved his fist twice in the air, and said to Qin Ming:

"Your Majesty, I don't think there's anything wrong with this. They were a loose group to begin with, and it's normal for them to be frightened before the upcoming war, so running away is normal."

"What do you mean here?"

Qin Ming ignored the two guys and turned to look at Ye Shoujiang.

Ye Shoujiang is knowledgeable and his decision-making on the battlefield is very effective.

After hearing what Qin Ming said, he frowned and thought for a moment, and also expressed his own opinion.

"Your Majesty, I think it might be pressure from the court, or a disagreement over interests."

"Benefit……"

When speaking of these two words, Qin Ming also fell into deep thought.

If it is because of interests, then it must be a matter of retaining the status of those nobles and retaining their land.

Yan Ziqiong beside him suddenly said:

"Perhaps they took your standards to discuss with the Emperor, but he quickly rejected them."

"Don't you give me any room for compromise?"

Qin Ming looked at Yan Ziqiong with some doubts. At this moment when facing a powerful enemy, she must try her best to unite the forces that can help her.

However, Emperor Yan pushed them further away, which was obviously not normal.

But Yan Ziqiong on the side shook her head and corrected him:

"No, it's really possible. Even if the current situation is serious, it won't affect them. After all, it's very likely that the emperor will take his men away in the next few days and head to the Hong family in the north."

"The land and nobility system has remained unchanged for more than a dozen generations of kings, and he certainly won't change it either."

Seeing how decisive Yan Ziqiong was in her words, she must have a lot of understanding about Emperor Yan.

After understanding where the problem lay, Qin Ming nodded slowly.

If they left the battlefield because of such problems.

Then I won’t have any worries.

I guess they won’t make a surprise attack later.

"It seems there are no more obstacles ahead."

Qin Ming nodded slowly, but everyone suddenly fell silent.

Although they can all enter the imperial city.

But the biggest problem is the people led by Emperor Yan. They are the ones who truly control the entire territory of the Yan Dynasty.

As long as these guys don't die, Yan Ziqiong, who was supported by Qin Ming, will always be a thorn in his throat.

The other party may call on their supporters to come back and fight again at any time.

Now there is an extremely troublesome choice before them.

That is whether to pursue to the north.

It is gradually approaching winter, and even the imperial city is very cold.

If the war reaches the north, it will be covered with ice and snow, and the cold will be torturous.

Qin Ming seemed not to have thought of this. Ye Shoujiang beside him hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Your Majesty, do you think we need to pursue and fight the Hong family?"

"No need."

Qin Ming spoke lightly.

What he said left everyone puzzled.

"If we don't clean them up, there's a good chance we'll be in big trouble in the future."

Yan Ziqiong also felt that Qin Ming's approach was wrong at this time, so she began to advise him.

"If you feel that the supplies are insufficient and the clothes are not enough to keep you warm, I can have the factory behind you continue to operate and work overtime to produce them."

She felt that Qin Ming was probably afraid of going to such an extremely cold place in the north, as his troops would not be able to withstand it and would suffer huge losses.

But in fact, Qin Ming didn't think about these things.

He smiled and waved his hand and asked:

"Do you think I'm scared?"
