Jiang Lian looked at Nie Chen up and down and said,
"I remembered, according to rumors, Lord Nie is indeed like this. Are you really Lord Nie?"
"it's me."
"Our Feng Army...are fighting back?"
Jiang Lian's eyes gradually became excited.
"Yes, the late emperor died, and many people in the royal family died. We supported the only sixth prince who was qualified to inherit the throne, ascended the throne as emperor, and then fought all the way back to the capital.
Mingxuan has been caught. He is in the cell at your feet. Didn't you see him? "
"I...I...I, the old minister, come to see Lord Nie!"
Jiang Lian dragged himself down from the Tukang, knelt on the ground with a plop, and cried bitterly,
"The sky is clear! The sky is clear! I, Dafeng, have finally recovered. The Feng army finally came to the capital and wiped out the rebels.
Late Emperor, have you seen it in the Spirit of Heaven? My gale mountains and rivers are still there, my gale mountains and rivers will last forever! "
Jiang Lian cried bitterly, and Nie Chen, Zhou Long and Zhou Hu helped him up and put him on the earthen bed.
After Jiang Lian cried for a while, he regained his composure, looked at Nie Chen and said,
"Master Marquis, I have lost my temper. I just heard the general calling you Prince, didn't I?"
"Yes, I destroyed the enemy army and recaptured the capital. The emperor made me king."
"Well, it should be so. For this great contribution to the sky and for saving Gale, it is not an exaggeration to be crowned a one-word king. This is what you deserve.
You are my well-deserved military king, Dafeng. You are much stronger than the four military kings. "
"Master Jiang, King Pingxi fought back with me. We are all Fengchen."
"Okay, okay, that's good, you two kings will definitely be able to take back Dafeng Heshan if you two kings work together.
By the way, what about the other two kings? Did King Andong and King Jingshan send troops to fight against the thieves? "
Jiang Lian suddenly raised his head and asked.
Nie Chen sighed and said,
"King Andong and King Jingshan announced that they will ascend the throne as emperor today and change the Yuan Dynasty to found the country."
"Those two traitors! Traitors!"
Jiang Lian gritted his teeth in hatred and cursed,
"This is to divide me, Dafeng. The traitor will not die in his desire to kill me, Dafeng. Your lord, give me a knife. I am willing to take the lead and chop those two traitors to death!"
"Master Jiang, please don't get excited. Kill the enemy. With me and Gale's millions of troops here, there is no need for you to go into battle to kill the enemy. You can rest at home and recover from your injuries. Once your injuries are healed, you have to continue." He has joined the court as an official."
"Your Majesty, are you willing to continue using me? But I am a cripple now."
Jiang Lian's eyes were filled with disappointment.
"My lord, is this leg seriously injured?"
Nie Chen asked.
The commander on the side quickly said,
"Your Majesty, we asked the jailer. Mr. Jiang's leg is already disabled. In order to extract a confession, the previous jailers smashed long nails into Mr. Jiang's knees with hammers, piercing and smashing the kneecaps.
After Mr. Jiang was put in the cell, his knees were already pus-filled and ulcerated. He used an oil lamp to illuminate and pulled out the nails driven into his knees one by one. He smashed the broken bowl for eating and used the bowl pieces to eat it bit by bit. I scraped off the rotten flesh on my knees and scraped away all the blood and pus on my bones. Only then did I avoid infection, fever, and death. "
After hearing the commander's words, Zhou Long and Zhou Hu took a deep breath. Just thinking about that scene makes people shudder.
Nie Chen also admired him sincerely, he could also imagine the scene.
In the dark, damp, dirty and smelly dungeon, with the light of an oil lamp, a civil servant who had been beaten all over was holding half a broken bowl, pulling out the nails from his own bones, and scraping his own rotten flesh and bones.
There was no anesthesia, no sterile environment, and no doctor. I stayed close to myself, enduring the pain that was worse than any torture. I gritted my teeth and did things bit by bit that ordinary people would suffer from life and death.
Nie Chen held his hands and said,
"Master Jiang is a really tough guy. Compared with you, we warriors on the battlefield are not as tough as you.
If you can endure the pain, you will surely be reborn in Nirvana and be rewarded with happiness after suffering. We, Dafeng, need talents like you. "
Jiang Lian smiled bitterly and said,
"My pain is nothing. Compared with those brave men who died on the battlefield, do you still have such a residual life?
You are the greatest.
Your Majesty, our Emperor, have you returned to the capital? "
"Not yet. We just captured the capital yesterday, and the emperor is still in Weihu County. I have sent people back to Weihu County in the morning to invite the emperor to come back and take over the capital.
Thinking about it, it won't be long before our court will be established again. "
Jiang Lian nodded and suddenly said,
"Sixth Prince, I have seen him, he is not a talented person."
Nie Chen frowned, a little confused.
It was treasonous to say that the emperor was not a man of talent. Nie Chen didn't understand why Jiang Lian, who was loyal to Da Feng, said this.
Jiang Lian continued,
"However, besides him, there is no more suitable person, it can only be him."
"yes."
Nie Chen nodded in agreement.
"So, a powerful minister with power over the government and the public will appear in our court."
As soon as Jiang Lian said this, Nie Chen immediately frowned and narrowed his eyes.
Jiang Lian said leisurely,
"And this person can only be the emperor's teacher and the prince with the most military power, don't you think so?
Prince Nie, there is no need for you to be surprised, and there is no need to be murderous towards this old minister.
The old minister is not confused, the old minister sees clearly.
There is a strong wind in your heart, otherwise, you will become emperor like other traitors. You are loyal to this country.
And the veteran, like you, is also loyal to this country.
This country is riddled with holes, a lot of waste waiting to be revitalized, and constant wars. It needs a capable and courageous person to stand up and conquer the world.
If a country is put in charge by a fatuous monarch, it will be a disaster for the country and a disaster for the country.
Having you is Dafeng's blessing, Dafeng's blessing. Without you, Dafeng would have died.
The old minister is not talented, but he is willing to be loyal to the prince and assist him in governing the country.
I just ask the prince not to usurp Dafeng Guo Zuo, and let this country continue. Maybe the next generation of emperor will be a wise king? "
After Nie Chen was silent for a moment, he said,
"I am lucky to have a wise man like you."
"Come, carry Mr. Jiang out and return to the palace for healing."
"yes!"
The guards immediately came in and lifted Jiang Lian.
"Your Majesty, I have a heartfelt request."
"Well, you say."
"Last time I was in the palace, I scolded Mingxuan, but I couldn't get enough of it. Mingxuan will be beheaded in a few days, right? I can't scold him no matter how much I want to.
Now that he is still in the cell, he asked a few soldiers and brothers to carry the old minister down to see Mingxuan, and let the old minister scold him again to satisfy his appetite and denounce his sinful behavior. "
Hearing this, Nie Chen smiled and said,
"What's the problem? I just want to see Mingxuan, so let's go together."
