Beiqi Imperial Palace, Hall of Peaceful Harmony.

A great crisis was upon them, and the officials in the court were worry-stricken, chaos reigning.

A treachery from King of Yan’s faction was hidden among them.

“King Yan has rebelled. Three hundred thousand southeastern troops refuse our orders, and the one hundred thousand border troops stationed at the Nanqi frontier can’t arrive within ten days. What should we do?”

“There are only 20,000 garrison soldiers in Jiankang, how can they withstand the wolf-like enemy?”

“Indeed, the enemy is ferocious and their commanding officer seems to have divine aid. They’ve captured three cities in ten days – our 20,000 security guards are no match for them.”

“The enemy is nearing Jiankang, less than a hundred miles from the city. We must decide whether to negotiate as soon as possible.”

“That’s right; if we don’t propose negotiations now, Jiankang is doomed.”

“His Majesty is young and aggressive; will he agree to negotiations?”

“What other choices do we have right now besides negotiating?”

“First, negotiate and stabilize the situation. When the enemy retreats, we can focus on dealing with King Yan to resolve the crisis.”

“That’s a good idea, but I’m afraid the enemy won’t agree. They’ve already broken through six northern cities; would they easily withdraw?”

“If the enemy doesn’t agree, we can only fight to the last breath, defend Jiankang and wait for reinforcements from the border troops.”

“With the enemy’s overwhelming momentum and two hundred thousand expeditionary troops, not to mention the 40,000 of our captives, the 100,000 border troops, even if they arrive in time, will be but a drop in the ocean, only adding to the casualties.”

“According to what you said, we don’t even need to negotiate, we might as well just wait for death.”

“Alas, the heavens have abandoned our great Qi.”

“All of you, shut up!”

Beiqi Monarch, in a fit of rage, grabbed a teacup and threw it from the high platform, striking an official’s head.

“Your Majesty, please calm down.”

The terrified official didn’t even care about the pain in his head, obediently kneeling on the ground.

“Your Majesty, please calm down.”

Remaining officials followed suit in fear, kneeling and pressing their foreheads as close to the ground as possible, trying to minimize their presence.

“My loyal subjects, what have you come up with after all this deliberation?”

Beiqi Monarch glared at his ministers, each with their varying thoughts, his anger boiling.

“Your Majesty, the enemy will reach Jiankang within two days, a hundred miles away.”

An official, risking his life, spoke up: “With only 20,000 garrison soldiers, it’s impossible for us to withstand the enemy’s attack. Whether to negotiate or not, Your Majesty must decide quickly.”

Beiqi Monarch’s face darkened, staring at him, after a moment, raised an eyebrow, seemingly intrigued, seeking the opinions of other officials.

“Any of you who support negotiations, stand up.”

“I dare to request Your Majesty to agree to negotiations.”

An official hesitated for a moment and finally stood up.

“I dare to request Your Majesty to agree to negotiations.”

With someone taking the lead, other officials inclined to negotiate followed suit, with four more standing up.

Remaining officials virtually pressed their heads to the ground, not even daring to breathe.

Beiqi Monarch stared at the five officials for a moment, bloodthirsty intent flashing in his eyes: “Guards, take those who advocate negotiations out and execute them by slow slicing.”

“Yes.”

A squad of Imperial Guards ran into the hall from outside, dragging people away.

“Your Majesty, in all sincerity, we request that Your Majesty consider negotiations. Without negotiations, Jiankang is doomed.”

“Your Majesty, please heed our advice. In the face of the enemy, we must not act rashly, lest we destroy the foundations of the Qi Kingdom that have been built over a thousand years.”
