Jiang Zhongxing threw the token on the ground, his voice cold, "What does the Emperor plan to do now?"
Before the Emperor could speak, Grand Secretary Mr. Zhou said, "Naturally, open negotiations."
"Negotiation was proposed by Jin Country; they no longer wish to fight, so why should we?"
"Moreover, the former Emperor is in their hands. We have no choice but to negotiate."
Jiang Zhongxing looked around, "Several loyalist armies are approaching; with internal and external collaboration, we should be able to annihilate the Jin Army. Even so, do you still want to negotiate?"
Someone suddenly whispered, "But we can't just abandon the former Emperor!"
Then another said, "This is just your opinion, Duke. Who can guarantee victory in war? If we can avoid fighting, we naturally should."
"Besides, the Jin troops are formidable, and they have an army of a hundred thousand. If we delay until the Western Army converges, we're doomed."
