Chapter 452: The Way to Retreat

After sending Emperor Jingtai and the other two back to the palace, Jiang Lang went to the third prince's mansion again. Only then did he learn that the third prince had actually gone to his home, so he hurried to his home again. Sure enough, because he had not met for nearly three months, and the third prince did not wait for Zhu Yuqi and the other two to visit him, so he hurried over. When Jiang Lang arrived, the few people were chatting and laughing.

Since it is a family happiness, naturally there will be no national affairs. After having a happy dinner, the three princes said: "If you have time, accompany me to the garden!"

After saying that, he stood up first and walked out the door.

Jiang Lang nodded, he told him to go to the garden, and he must have something to tell him, so he stood up and walked behind him.

The weather was a little gloomy at night, and the dark clouds in the sky blocked the moonlight. There was no moonlight in the garden. Only the faint light from the stone lamps on the side of the road illuminated the paths inside the garden.

The breeze blew, making the already hot north a little cooler. The cry of insects hidden in the garden filled the originally quiet garden with vitality.

The third prince who was walking in the front did not speak, and Jiang Lang naturally did not speak, followed behind honestly. After walking for a while, the voice of the third prince suddenly came: "Is there any information that you met an assassin on your way to Gaoqiang?"

"Um!"

Jiang Lang agreed lightly, and then continued: "I just met some small robbers, but we beat them back!"

"Little robber?"

The third prince pondered for a moment, then took two steps forward, and then said, "But, those people should be Komujun."

Jiang Lang had thought about this question, but now when he heard the three kings ask, he shook his head slightly and said, "It's not clear yet. At that time, I was thinking about whether the Komu Army sneaked in. Because they had a large number of people. Finally, I counted that the enemies we destroyed were hundreds of people. Judging from the attack situation of the troops at that time, it was conservatively estimated that there might be a scale of thousands! Moreover, the spy of the Komu Army should have been infiltrated in this high-strength army, or Gaoqiang should have cooperated with the Komu Army!"

"Thousands of people?"

The third prince pondered for a moment, put his hands behind his back, thought for a while, and said, "There are quite a lot of people. It's not easy to sneak in with such a large number of Komu Army and it's even more unobstructed!"

Jiang Lang did not refute the words of the third prince and nodded: "I have thought about this question, so I guess that this Mu Jun is likely to collude with the high-strong man, and this person should still have a high-strong man status. Not only should he install a lot of spies among the high-strong soldiers who welcome us, he also knows our itinerary well, so he chose a place to wait for us to take the bait!"

"Who is it found out?"

The third prince asked this most important question.

Jiang Lang shook his head and said, "No, that man is hiding very deeply. Since I haven't found it during this period of time when Gao Qiang, I have to admire him. However, I believe that one day, this man will surface sooner or later. Of course, if he still hopes that he can help get what he wants through Komu Jun!"

After hearing Jiang Lang's words, the third prince nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, we spies didn't find out who he was. They were really powerful. However, as soon as our navy arrived at Gaoqiang, we would have to eat and live in the Komu Army. At that time, we would not have a chance at that time, right?"

Jiang Lang smiled faintly and said, "There is indeed no chance. However, if you want to fish, you naturally have to prepare the bait. At that time, I will prepare a good bait for him to get out of the hole!"

Speaking of this, Jiang Lang clenched his fists slightly, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

The third prince turned his head at this time and looked at Jiang Lang seriously. After a while, he asked, "Have you decided?"

Indeed, Jiang Lang had already made a decision in his heart. Now that the third prince asked, Jiang Lang naturally did not intend to hide it from her, but hesitated for a moment before saying, "I decided on the way back!"

"Yeah?"

The third prince murmured, then turned his head and looked up at the sky above his head, then asked in a low voice: "Why did you decide like this? Do you think you are already a threat to the court now? Don't the emperor need you very much now?"

Jiang Lang smiled slightly, sighed, and then said: "During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qin Dynasty also needed Shang Yang, but in the end Shang Yang died at the hands of the Qin Dynasty people. Now I am only a third-rank, but the power in this court can actually be fully a member of the first-rank official. And now the emperor believes in me very much, so in the eyes of many people, I am completely the new Wang Zhen. Moreover, you should also know that during the period when I left, the court has become much quieter!"

The third prince listened quietly to Jiang Lang's words. As Jiang Lang said, now in the eyes of many courts, he has regarded him as the new Wang Zhen of the court. In private, fewer people have begun to discuss it. After all, in the aspects of these three rounds of reform, the people offended were not a little bit. Although some people were angry, they just dared not speak out. Once they had the chance, they would definitely stand up and do everything possible to kill Jiang Lang!

Seeing that the third prince did not speak, Jiang Lang probably understood what he meant, so he smiled slightly and continued: "Also, everything in the court is on the right track now, and Lord Yu is also supported by the court. In terms of intelligence, Lord Jiang is here, so I thought about it carefully. At this time, I should go to the navy. In this way, I will no longer have any threats for those in the court. In a certain aspect, this can be regarded as a way for me to save my life. I don't want to learn from those people in the end and end up in a situation where my family is destroyed!"

"Why are you not confident?"

The third prince asked back.

Jiang Lang shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't have confidence. Sometimes, this confidence is another matter, and the retreat is also another matter. Staying with the navy, in a certain aspect, is just leaving me a retreat. I don't want to have no way out if something happens in the end!"

"I have no objection to you when you think so!"

The third prince said lightly, "However, if there is any disturbance in the court, you are in the capital, it can act as a deterrent. Sometimes, your fear can make the court calmer, and some government orders are also convenient to implement! Just like the previous few times, now you, as you said, are almost close to Wang Zhen's previous one, but the only difference exists?"

"the difference?"

Jiang Lang murmured slightly, then smiled and said, "For these people, the biggest difference between me and Wang Zhen is the enthusiasm for power. To be honest, I don't like this kind of intrigue life. Even if I am like Wang Zhen, I stand at the top of the court, but the final outcome is still the same. Besides, I am not in the capital, and in a certain way, I can also monitor the people in the court. Without me, their attempts will be more easily exposed. Moreover, those people in the north will relax their vigilance against us, so they can make peace with peace of mind. When they are in trouble, we can also take the opportunity to fight for something we want!"

"What do you want?"

The third prince pondered for a moment, then said, "People's heart?"

Jiang Lang nodded and said, "Yes, it is the heart of the people. Now we have hundreds of miles of grasslands, but there are very few people raising horses. The civil strife of Wats is not just a chance. As long as we promulgate relevant laws, we can protect the herdsmen who enter the jurisdiction of our Ming Dynasty. As long as they register with the local government, they can give some preferential things. For the civil strife of Wats, which is now in civil strife, our grassland is simply the best place. We are not afraid that those herdsmen will not come. At the same time, we can encourage our people to intermarry with them, and instill our culture in them while respecting their habits. In this way, it may be ten years or decades. These people will not be able to distinguish between the herdsmen and the Ming Dynasty. As long as the population is gathered enough, we will expand towards the strife on the grounds of protecting the people!"

The third prince also showed a smile on his face and said, "Let's do this. If you must want to go to the navy, I think you should tell the emperor all you want to say. At the same time, you have to arrange this capital well. There is also the East Factory. When you are not here, you have to send someone to stare at it! The most important thing is Qier and the others!"
