As the words of Prime Minister Chai Jiliang fell, the court of the Great Wu Dynasty was incredibly quiet.
All the officials looked at Chai Jiliang, who stood at the forefront, with disbelief on their faces; evidently, no one had anticipated that Chai Jiliang would actually advise the Martial Emperor to end the war.

And yet, someone dared to step forward and advise him against initiating more wars, even warning that the Great Wu Dynasty faced the risk of collapse—was this not akin to seeking death?
