As the Grandmaster led the charge, Yuann Li in the crowd also spoke coldly, "Previously, Prince Hejian and Yanshan King took the initiative to propose negotiations, which was thought to be in good faith. Now it seems, it's extremely disappointing."
The Deputy Secretariat Envoy, representing the military camp, also expressed his stance. He stepped forward, bowed to the Empress, and loudly said, "Your Majesty, it is unprecedented for hostilities to resume during negotiations. These two rebels moved troops during negotiations; it shows no sincerity! I ask to execute these rebels to set an example!"
"Your Majesty..."
"These traitors harbor malicious intent... We cannot agree."
For a moment, the court was furious, with officials stepping out to angrily denounce the actions of the rebels.
However, if one observes carefully, there is also a significant number of ministers remaining silent. This represents another voice advocating for peace.
