Mutiny

While the palace was shrouded with tensed clouds the public wasn't doing well either. News of armies and huajins breaching of treaty was circulating very fast. Like passing wind soon the entire capital learned of their emperor good deeds resulting to possibility of another big scale war.

Don't know who was the first to initiate but soon people were marching towards the palace gates for emperor to relent and avoid the war. Thousands of people were crowded and knelt infront of the capital. The royal guards couldn't act violent in fear of being outnumbered thus went to report of the situation.

Prime minister felt more headaches from the report. He knew they were totally helpless and can no longer turn the situation. He feared prolonging or being stubborn would lead to mutiny and before the war huajin will be engulfed from the civil war.

He was also angry at Mo Yan for he had previously informed of the sucesss but now all of it seemed nothing but a joke. He orders the royal guard to not act violent and inform the people that emperor was sick and unable to provide them with an answer thus to be patient till he regains his consciousness.

Then he walks towards the residence of Mo Yan to seek the explaination for this chaos. He enters to see Mo Yan in deep thoughts looking at what seemed like there territory of East and west. He sneers at the unaware man and speaks "Sir, Mo Yan we have more pressing matters beside the beast wave and barbarians..don't know if you were tricked or you were providing lip service but...

all the messages we received were false...Pei Jin and duke Chen is alive along with the royal family...the supposedly sick Qingfeng and heavily injured Chen Xiao is currently pressing us with large army on our borders...our so called successful mercenary and general Tao was send with just their heads on the box and...

Emperor of Nanling has given us ultimatum to send the letter confirming that emperor will present himself at the caimin borders for the discussion of reparation or they will send all of their armies to flatten us..

Emperor due to anger and shock is currently on his bed attended by physician..neutral and Xiuzhis faction are demanding for emperor to agree not to forget the palace gates are crowded with commoners to plea for the same cause.."

Mo Yan feels shaky and nearly falls on the ground if not held by his assistant in time. He mumbles "impossible...how can it be...impossible.." Prime minister feels little good to see that Mo Yan was as shocked as them implying he wasn't a traitor. He then speaks in gentler and worry filled tone "Sir, Mo Yan it is not impossible as it has happened..beside the emperors demand we also have received similar warning from the Lin and Chen army..

We are as puzzled and shocked as you but the time is of essence...emperor of Nanling has given us till tomorrow morning to confirm or that he would take our silence as the intention of wanting war...they have demanded beside emperor they wouldn't accept any other peace envoys...and emperor is to present himself on caimin borders where Pei Jin is waiting with their demands as means of reparation...

As of current we don't have any chips to bargain with Nanling...General Hao is dealing with the beast wave with much difficulty while we have yet to learn of the matter of west...more than me you are well aware of how dire the situation is...with our people and officials divided in thoughts and only one experienced general we are far from capable to face such large scale war..nor the rebellion of our people...

You are one of our most prized youth hailed as one of the top genius...please think of a solution to help us escape out from this situation...if you are able to find such a path then for sure emperor won't blame you for this failure..I am going back to see if the emperor has regained his consciousness and to keep everyone on check...meanwhile please do think of a way.."
