Chapter 857: On the way

Jiang Lang slept quite well that night, but for the strong prime minister, he was a little uncomfortable to sleep. As soon as the sky was dawn, he had to set off for the Ming Dynasty camp. There, he didn't know what was dangerous waiting for him. Will the commander of the Ming Dynasty kill him?

Although he still has some understanding of Jiang Lang's character, he still cannot completely let go of his heart at this time.

Soon, it was dawn, and it was impossible to avoid going to the camp of the Ming Dynasty people.

After the servant served him and put on his clothes, he walked out of the door. However, before he walked out, he suddenly remembered that he had something to explain, so he turned his head and said, "Go back and tell his wife, if I die and the people of the Ming Dynasty come, remember not to fight with them. It is important to save your life!"

The servant nodded without understanding, but he didn't know why his master said this. There are rumors outside that this battle will not be fought, why do you say it's dead?

Since he couldn't figure it out, the servant didn't think about it and nodded honestly.

The Prime Minister nodded with satisfaction and stepped out of the door.

When I arrived at the city gate, many ministers were waiting there, watching me come.

"Prime Minister!"

The ministers bowed together, then bent down and said in unison.

The Prime Minister waved his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone doesn't have to be too polite!"

Only then did these ministers stand up straight.

Looking up at these ministers, the prime minister smiled slightly, and then said, "Don't look sad. I didn't say I'll die if I go this time!"

Obviously, these ministers were a little worried. After all, there was a dragon's nest opposite. Although the envoy went to the Ming Dynasty yesterday, it was not a pity for him, but it was not guaranteed that the Prime Minister would not make things difficult for him today.

After saying this, the Prime Minister turned around and walked towards the door. The minister who promised to go with him yesterday was waiting there, and there was a carriage.

He bowed to the Prime Minister and the minister said loudly: "Prime Minister, the car is ready, so the lower officials will drive the horses to the Prime Minister and Minister!"

The prime minister nodded and then got on the carriage. The minister also got on the carriage at this time, then pulled the reins and shouted: "Driving..."

The carriage slowly moved forward and walked towards the camp of the Ming people.

He glanced at the city gate behind him, and there was a hint of nostalgia in the prime minister's eyes. Yes, more people's lives were saved, but it won't take long before this city wall will become a member of the Ming Dynasty, and it will not belong to the small and powerful dynasty of the past.

"Sir, I have one thing that I have never understood. I don't know if I can ask about it here?"

The minister who was driving the car suddenly said at this time.

The Prime Minister turned his head and asked with a little curiosity: "What's the matter, just say it!"

The minister was still slightly silent before asking: "But this matter is somewhat offensive, so please forgive me!"

The Prime Minister laughed and said, "Just say it!"

The minister shook the reins and asked slowly: "The cause of the emperor's death?"

The Prime Minister said that he did not forget how the minister asked this, and said in surprise: "The cause of the emperor's death?"

"Yes, it's the cause of the emperor's death!"

The minister asked decisively.

The Prime Minister looked at the minister seriously, but the minister gave him the back. After thinking about it, he asked, "Is this the reason why you went to the Ming Dynasty camp with me at this time? Because at this time, there were no guards around me. Even if I was very angry, I couldn't do anything to you, right? And it won't take long to do it to both of us, just ordinary people, and I can't do anything to you. Do you think so in your heart?"

The minister was slightly silent, then nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I know that many people in the court cheered for the death of the emperor. Because if the emperor did not die, he would fight the Ming Dynasty people to the end and it would be impossible to surrender!"

"Then do you suspect that my lord sent the eunuch to kill the emperor?"

The prime minister asked.

"No, but this eunuch said something when he was dying, which makes people suspicious!"

The minister still honestly expressed his thoughts. Not only him, but many people think so. Why did a eunuch kill the emperor for no reason? Maybe he was afraid of death? But why did he jump into the city wall and die in the end? And he left a passage of speculation. You know that those words are very easy to cause misunderstandings!

The Prime Minister sighed slightly, and did not directly answer the minister's words. He closed his eyes and rested.

He did not answer, and the minister was somewhat difficult to ask, so both of them were silent, with only the sound of horse hooves and the sound of wheels of the car.

After walking for a while, the Prime Minister opened his eyes. This area was the most fierce fire in the Ming Dynasty yesterday. Although the corpses on the ground had been cleaned up, there were still dry blood on the ground, as well as the craters of burnt black.

The Prime Minister's implementation focused on these craters. He was reluctant to look away his eyes for a long time, and then asked: "Do you know how many people we died yesterday?"

The minister was slightly stunned. He really didn't know this, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

"Then I'll be the best student for you!"

The Prime Minister cleared his throat and said, "Yesterday, we killed a total of 135,621 people and injured 57,35!"

The minister was surprised. With such delicate statistics, he really didn't know where the Prime Minister knew. However, there were indeed many people who died yesterday, which was something that could not be denied. However, he also knew that the Prime Minister should have something to say, so he honestly drove his carriage without making any talk.

Sure enough, after the Prime Minister said all this, he sighed and said, "Actually, when I heard this number, I was wondering, if we had surrendered earlier, even though we were slaves of the country, would the lives of these more than 100,000 soldiers be saved? Because in this battle, how much ability do we have to fight back?"

The number of casualties of more than 100,000 is just this battle.

Speaking of this, the Prime Minister pointed to the land in front of him, which was already covered with blood from the strong soldiers, and said, "After the envoy came back yesterday, I asked him carefully, what scenes he saw along the way, he said eight words to me, and the corpses were everywhere, which was terrible! I didn't see it, or I didn't have the courage, but I could imagine it. Okay, stop!"

The minister immediately grabbed the carriage. After stopping, the prime minister jumped out of the carriage, grabbed a handful of soil on the ground and placed it in front of him. The originally yellow soil now had a hint of red and a strangeness.

"Look!"

The Prime Minister raised his hand to the minister and asked, "You see nothing. The land is now full of the blood of our warriors!"

The minister glanced slightly, then turned his head.

"Why don't you dare to look?"

The prime minister asked, then smiled faintly, stretched out his hand to sprinkle the soil on the ground in front of him, so-called dust returns to dust, soil returns to soil. Then he walked forward, and the minister hurriedly followed in a carriage.

"We should have resisted before, because we had a rear at that time, but during this battle, we only had three lonely cities left. The Ming people gathered a large number of troops here. If they fought, the casualties would be heavy. Everyone knows this. The emperor wants to fight because he is the emperor. We can lose the war, but we cannot lose our dignity. But if this war is lost, what dignity do we have? More soldiers fell down and more people sacrificed. In the end, we got nothing, lost the land, lost the city, and destroyed the country. As a result, that's it! "

The Prime Minister raised his head, looked at the vast land in front of him, and said, "Like everyone else, I am equally sad, but no matter how sad I am, I still have to go on this road. The emperor has no more, we still have the people. The people are there, our foundation is there. If the people are gone, we will have nothing!"

The prime minister knows very clearly about the composition of a country!

The Prime Minister did not directly answer whether he was really the murderer of Kanzen, but in the minister's heart, he had a vague suspicion. Now, after hearing what he said, he suddenly had a strange idea in his heart. The reason why the Prime Minister murdered the emperor was because the people were considering it. However, when he thought about it, he couldn't help laughing. There was no more country, what other citizens there, and what other court there was?

"If I had a choice!"

The Prime Minister suddenly said, "I would rather choose to be a sinner!"

"sinner!"

The minister couldn't help but be shocked. Could it be that the prime minister admitted that he killed the emperor and was the instructor behind the scenes, so he raised his ears and listened tightly.

After the Prime Minister paused slightly, he continued: "I would rather be despised, timid and cowardly, or it may be for my own glory and wealth. All I think is that when we surrender, our soldiers can leave their armor and return to the fields. Being an ordinary citizen, you don't have to fight or sacrifice, and you can have children and grandchildren in the end! That's all!"

The minister suddenly realized that he had misread the prime minister in front of him, or that he was different from others.

"I entered the court as an official at the age of eighteen. Now I have been in the sixty years. I have experienced three dynasties. In terms of feelings, I don't have to be bad for others! But sometimes, unnecessary persistence can only bring greater sacrifices. This can be regarded as a little bit of my feelings about how many years have been an official. To be honest, it is definitely not me who is the one who doesn't want to see the demise of the court at the end of the day!"
