「Shenjing.」
In the Ziwei Palace.
"'Retainer Wang, you negotiated peace behind My back...'" Emperor Chongming's expression was cold and indifferent. He paid no heed to the three words, "I am wronged," uttered by Wang Wang, Minister of Rites, as the palace guards dragged him away. He directly set the tone for the matter: "Negotiating peace is tantamount to ruining our state!"
"Death by dismemberment would be too light a punishment..."
He took a deep breath.
If others knew that he had the intention to negotiate peace with Xu Xing, how would the people of the realm regard him as an Emperor?
Even the Emperor plans to beg for peace...
Would the defending generals still see a need to resist the Righteous Army of Mount Siming?
The Imperial Court would surely be consumed by panic.
Not executing Wang Wang would only confirm this rumor.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
In the hall, the civil and military officials trembled like quails, not daring to even lift their heads.
