Several people were slightly startled. Seeing Zhu Zhen's expression of gritted teeth, they realized that His Majesty was not just talking.

Liang State is the country with the largest population and largest area among the three countries in the Central Plains. It implements a provincial system. Each province is about the size of nearly two states of Daning.

Trading land for development was a strategy that Zhu Zhen had already thought of before he seized the throne. The war would eventually end.

The land is gained by fighting.

These lands were given to Daning, who cultivated them, and these outputs strengthened the country's power. One and the other waxed and waned, and Liang would never be able to defeat Daning!

So he came up with this method.

Even Pang Shigu fell silent. It was helpless to reach this point, but there was no other way.

Beilin Province has long been ceded to Daning, Shangyun Province is not considered rich, but Liaoqing Province is different...

Han Chong said: "It's not easy to destroy farmland on such a large scale, right?"

He actually thinks this method is feasible. It would be of no use to give Daning some waste land but get it...

Zhu Zhen turned to Zhang Yi.

"Master Zhang, you should have something to do, right?"

Zhang Yi looked troubled, and then said: "Your Majesty, do you really want to do this?"

"yes!"

Zhu Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "I can't just watch as Daning's national power becomes stronger and stronger!"

"If I want Daning to get these lands, they will be useless!"

"Your Majesty, I know the method, but it is not appropriate to do so. Daning will definitely know when he sees it. If he gets angry because of this, it will not be conducive to peace talks..."

Zhang Yi spoke out, causing others to react immediately.

Emperor Yuanwu was not someone who could be fooled.

Zhu Zhen frowned and asked, "Can it be discovered?"

"Of course, there is a clear difference between destroyed land and undamaged land."

Han Chong interrupted and asked: "What method can be used to destroy cultivated land?"

"lime!"

Zhang Yi said in a deep voice: "The gain outweighs the loss by destroying the cultivated land, and we can't find so much lime, so don't anger Daning."

Several people turned their attention to Zhu Zhen.

Zhu Zhen returned to the dragon chair and looked grim.

Seeing His Majesty like this, Pang Shigu sighed inwardly.

His Majesty was not like this before he came to the throne. He had ideals and ambitions, and even offered to give half of Liang's land in exchange for the end of the war...

But after taking the throne, the tremendous pressure made him breathless.

Yes, I used to think too simply. I always thought that as long as I didn't die, I would eventually succeed, but this takes time.

But now, Zhu Zhen began to worry that Daning would not give Liang Guo time.

This country is too strong. It only takes ten years since the founding of the country to be able to deal with attacks from all directions. How strong will it be if it is given another ten years to Daning?

But what will Daliang look like ten years from now?

This is the difference!

This gap made Zhu Zhen forget his original intention and start going to extremes...

Zhu Zhen sat on the throne.

He was confused and didn't know what to do.

It’s so difficult!

Liang Guo is like a house that is about to collapse, already crumbling.

During this period, there were also violent storms.

Daning is a stormy place.

Since he came to the throne, he has never had a solid night's sleep. He is always thinking about how to make Liang Guo strong!

Unexpected!

The three words Emperor Yuanwu kept swirling in his mind, making him breathless.

This is a mess.

He took over. As a member of the Zhu family, he could only persevere. This was his fate.

The top priority is to end the war as soon as possible and pay the minimum price.

And Emperor Yuanwu might not even give Liang Guo such a chance...

Zhu Zhen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I am ready to leave for Daning!"

"Your Majesty, what are you doing in Daning?"

Several people were extremely surprised and suspicious.

"I want to go and seek peace!"

"Seek peace? We have sent envoys. You are the king of one country, how can you go to another country to ask for peace?"

Han Chong, the Minister of War, obviously couldn't accept it. No matter how the Liang Kingdom declined, it would never reach the level where the king of a country would be so humble.

"Are you talking about face?"

Zhu Zhen said calmly: "Compared with the destruction of the country, face is not worth mentioning..."

"But Your Majesty..."

"Going there in person is completely different from sending envoys. It shows sincerity but also lowers the profile. Emperor Yuanwu should probably agree."

Zhu Zhen said: "We must let the enemy troops leave Liang State as soon as possible, otherwise our country will be in trouble and how will it continue on the road to recovery and development?"

"I will go there personally to end the war at the lowest cost!"

"Then when will you leave?"

Pang Shigu did not object, but agreed very much.

An emperor who can disregard his face for the sake of his country is worthy of loyalty. What is the point of enduring some humiliation?

Wasn't Emperor Yuanwu a waste prince earlier?

Only when you can endure temporary humiliation can you enjoy eternal glory.

"In five days!"

Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice: "I want to publicize my trip to Daning to seek peace."

"You still want to publicize it?"

Han Chong asked: "Isn't this a bit embarrassing?"

"I have already said that my face is worthless. I want the people of Liang to know that I went to sue for peace for the sake of the country... I also want the people of Wei, the people of Ning, and the world to know that I went to Daning.

Please ask Emperor Yuanwu to give Liang Guo and Liang people a way to live!"
