Except fighting a war he knew he would only win at great cost in order to prevent a full-scale civil war from destroying The Empire, and letting Hammerfell go so they could give the AD a black eye, while at the same time protecting the rest of The Empire from another great war before they were ready.

How terrible. A good emperor would have let himself become a martyr before he gives away a province just to hurt an enemy, he is meant to protect his people, not stab them in the back and let them fend for themselves against a foe that nearly slaughtered you. Actually, the Emperor had to let go of the province because he was ready to sign a treaty because he didn't have enough men to keep fighting the war, and the redguards refused to bow down to the Dominion. He didn't stab the redguards in the back, they took it upon themselves.
