Meng Su's sudden attack disrupted everyone's plans.
Shen Ruoyan immediately sent a letter to the King of Huainan, "When the country is in danger, I hope Your Majesty will think twice before acting!"
Lin Si knew Shengjing's defenses very well. If he were to lead Meng Su's army to attack, the entire Dasheng would be in danger!
At this time, King Huainan's choice is particularly important.
If there is civil unrest at this time, I am afraid that Meng Su will take advantage of it and the entire Dasheng will be finished!
And there was chaos in the palace.
"Why did they suddenly attack? Isn't the Prince of Huainan guarding there?"
Empress Dowager Zhuang Mi was puzzled. She didn't even understand why things had come to this point.
Wasn’t everything fine before?
"Lin Si's treasonous behavior gave Meng Su an opportunity to exploit. Someone within the rebel army took advantage of the situation and started a rebellion. The large army we sent was no match for them and suffered a continuous defeat."
The emperor's eyes no longer had the arrogance of the past, "Mother, they will soon reach Shengjing..."
"What?!" Zhuang Mi couldn't believe her ears. "If you can't hold on, send more people! How can we let them reach Shengjing?"
This is a great shame and humiliation!
When Lu Hua was here, these people were also ready to make some moves, but whether it was Meng Su or Nan Wu, they all behaved well and did not cross the line.
She knew that Lu Hua had a team that was dedicated to gathering information and intelligence for her.
Many things were strangled by her before they even had a chance to happen!
What a hateful woman!
If they also had such a team, they would not be in such a passive situation now!
"My son, go and talk to those old ministers and see if you can cede territory and seek peace. We absolutely cannot go to war with Meng Su at this time!"
"Mother, don't you think I haven't thought about it?"
The emperor smiled bitterly. He had thought of this method almost immediately.
However, not to mention how big Meng Su's appetite was, one or two cities were not enough to shut them up.
Now that Lin Si has joined, it is a good time for them to counterattack. How can they be easily defeated?
But if we give in too much, not only will the old ministers of the court not agree, I'm afraid even our ancestors in the underworld won't agree...
He doesn't want to be notorious and go down in history!
"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. What should I do?" Zhuang Mi has never had any experience in such major matters.
She lived deep in the harem and only knew women's things. She had no idea what to do with the country.
Now she is suddenly told that the rebels are about to attack Shengjing. What should she do?
"For now, the only solution is to appease the rebels and discuss with Meng Su to see if there is any chance of a turnaround."
The emperor frowned. If possible, he would not want to do this.
However, the Dasheng no longer had the extra money and troops to deal with the rebels and Meng Su's army.
If the issue can be resolved through peaceful negotiations, then that would naturally be the safest approach. Even if it involves some sacrifices... it wouldn't matter.
"The Emperor now wants to negotiate peace, and the ten border cities are all within his consideration."
Through the screen, Prime Minister Qin couldn't see the person inside, but his eyes were calm, without any inquiry or questioning.
This is the person left behind by the former empress dowager. He holds a token and seeing the token is like seeing the person.
Prime Minister Qin rarely contacts them, but this time, he can no longer sit idly by.
Ten border cities and tens of thousands of civilians were given to Meng Su!
When the emperor said this to him, he almost threw the memorial in his hand at the emperor's head.
How can it be so ridiculous!
The kingdom our ancestors conquered must not be handed over to others, even if we have to defend it to the death!
Although he is old, as long as he can still move, he will never do such a treasonous thing!
The anger in Shen Ruoyan's heart is no less than that of Prime Minister Qin!
All the people of Dasheng are the responsibility of the royal family. As long as they are still alive, they must protect the people and ensure they live and work in peace and contentment.
Meng Su hasn't even reached Shengjing yet, and he's already frightened the emperor like this! If he really attacks, won't the entire country be handed over to someone else?!
"Don't worry, Prime Minister Qin. Meng Su will not agree to this request, let alone ten cities, even if it's twenty cities."
If the emperor wants to ask for peace, he has to ask the rebels and Emperor Mengsu whether they agree!
Since others dare to fight, is it just for a few cities?
"Madam, do you have any countermeasures?" Prime Minister Qin is not so easy to get rid of. Although this is the person chosen by the Queen Mother, the situation is urgent and he must be clear about all the plans.
Only in this way can we deploy it.
No matter what, he has only one goal - to save Dasheng!
"Mengsu made a comeback this time because Lin Si gave them the defense map of Dasheng."
This defense map was the basis for Meng Su's confidence, but it was also the cause of their internal strife.
"Right now, the new Emperor Mengsu and General Haller are in dispute over the authenticity of the defense map. The next target they plan to attack is the Qin Territory. Once the authenticity of the defense map is in doubt, even if Emperor Mengsu wants to attack, the court will not agree."
Their people have already obtained this defense map. Qin Territory is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Without a detailed defense map, they dare not attack at will.
General Haller was a veteran of both the Meng and Su dynasties, and held a high reputation within the military. If he failed to capture the Qin domain, he would definitely stop Emperor Meng and Su.
Once the defense map is proven to be fake, the value of Lin Temple will be gone...
Prime Minister Qin understood what Shen Ruoyan meant. In this way, Meng Su's progress could be stopped.
