The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 735: A Spineless Bunch of Sniveling Worms

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."

Upon hearing this, many people agreed, "Yes, since the Jin Army is willing to negotiate, why continue fighting?"

"Great Chu is no match for Jin Country at all!"

"We must bring the former Emperor back home!"

Jiang Zhongxing swept his gaze coldly over these people, inadvertently locking eyes with Du Wei.

Du Wei’s eyes were filled with anger, but more so with helplessness. Seeing Jiang Zhongxing looking at him, he slowly shook his head.

Jiang Zhongxing suddenly raised his voice, "If Jin Country demands territory and reparations, will you still negotiate?"

Someone unknown muttered, "The Jin people just want silver; give them some silver and they will surely leave."

Jiang Zhongxing felt an overwhelming sadness in his heart. He glanced around and shouted sternly, "In this Golden Throne Hall, not only sits a dim-witted emperor who will lose the country, but also a court full of treacherous ministers!"

"Fine, just fine, the kingdom of Great Chu will be ruined at your hands!"

"You’re all a bunch of spineless worms!"

After he finished, he strode out of the hall.

Sitting high on the throne, the Emperor was extremely annoyed, wanting to speak but holding back, simply watching Jiang Zhongxing leave.

Jiang Zhongxing first went to the Princess Dowager Mansion.

Now, with the Emperor’s ascension, the Princess Dowager, who is the Emperor’s aunt, had been promoted from Princess to Princess Dowager.

Upon hearing the Duke had arrived, the Princess Dowager quickly got up to greet him.

As soon as Jiang Zhongxing entered the door, he knelt down with a thud, lowering his head, and said slowly, "Mother, I have already done my best."

The Princess Dowager’s face changed dramatically, "What? Has the city fallen?"

But it didn’t seem like it; all around was still quiet.

Jiang Zhongxing explained the situation of the former Emperor being captured and the order for all the loyalist armies to retreat.

The Princess Dowager was furious, "Useless!"

"Why didn’t he end his life and apologize to the world!"

"This is a national disgrace, an emperor becoming a captive!"

"I advised him not to leave, but he didn’t listen!"

"I’m so angry, truly furious!"

Jiang Zhongxing silently listened to the Princess Dowager’s venting, waiting until she finished before saying, "The Emperor dismissed me from my post but fortunately did not question me."

The Princess Dowager said with a fierce look, "If he dares, if he truly dares, I will storm into the Golden Throne Hall and reprimand him to his face!"

Jiang Zhongxing shook his head, "Negotiations might follow next; I just hope the Jin people won’t make exorbitant demands this time."

The Princess Dowager sneered, "How could they not, with such ministers who wish to negotiate after winning, rest assured they will demand everything they can."

Jiang Zhongxing sighed, "Forget it, I’m going back to the mansion."
