Zhu Lixing sighed, not to mention the rest of the courtiers, even he, the prime minister, was a little shaken.

It's not that he's unfaithful, it's that it's no longer about him.

He could die, but what about the family?

After the death of the country, let the family members be like those nobles of the cave country, reduced to unforgivable slaves and playthings?

The trend of the times, the so-called integrity is just a temporary face, and it will inevitably become someone else's after-dinner conversation, when the mountains and rivers are broken, and the subjects of Sheng Guo will become the people of Cangguo, who will remember a person named Zhu Lixing?

Perhaps, under the assimilation and education of Cangguo, he Zhu Lixing will become a chaotic minister and thief and be spurned by future generations.

At this point, he has no doubt, after all, there have been several examples in advance, Cangguo itself is just an inconspicuous country, look at the present, those places that have been annexed by Cangguo, which one is not proud of being Cangguo?

In this way, he Zhu Lixing is just a funeral object of Shengguo.

If he had served Cangguo, then the result would have been very different.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that he is the prime minister of Shengguo, a very popular minister, once he surrenders, Cangguo will definitely treat him very politely in order to set an example, and rely on him to appease the people of Shengguo, and psychologically will give everyone an excuse.

People's hearts are like this, and everyone will think: The prime minister has surrendered, what else are we resisting?

Zhu Lixing always believed that the Emperor of Cangguo was an emperor with political wisdom, and it was impossible to think of such a simple thing.

Suddenly, someone next to him bumped into him, and he woke up from his deep thought.

Myself...... How is it possible to have such a thought?

That's a big idea!

Zhu Lixing couldn't help but feel weak, and when he looked up, he saw that everyone was looking at him.

Could it be that what was in your mind?

Immediately, he understood that it was Min Shanyi who was asking for his opinion, and he didn't respond for a long time, so everyone had this weird state.

Wiping his sweat with a weak heart, Zhu Lixing said: "There is nothing the old minister can do, the front-line affairs are presided over by General Deng Zhi, and we just need to arrange the Heyi Mountain Range." ”

"Yes, the Prime Minister is right."

"The old minister also approves."

"As it should be."

The courtiers also echoed one by one, and this is the only way to do it for now.

A meeting held in response to the invasion of the Cang army ended with thunder and rain.

There were few useful suggestions, but they made the courtiers more disappointed in the emperor and more worried about the future of the prosperous country.

Of course, there are many loyal people among them, but only a minority.

Throughout the history of various countries, the more a country where the wind of aristocratic gate valves prevails, the more likely the so-called ministers are to defect when the country suffers a catastrophe.

Among them, there are family interests, and there are also disappointments with the country.

When the important minister left the palace, a light rain fell in the sky.

However, none of the courtiers quickly hid from the rain.

Everyone knows that these colleagues around them are probably thinking about the same thing in their hearts.

They also had a more firm idea in their hearts, that is, after tonight, as soon as the situation in Dongyang City on the front line came out, everyone would judge the situation and make a choice based on the information they obtained.

This choice is extremely important.

……

"Father, should we ...... Planning ahead? ”

In the main hall, Min Shanyi hesitated for a moment and asked.

Min Lei stroked his beard, glanced at him, and said, "You and I are both royals, where can we hide at this critical time?" It is possible to go to the Jin Kingdom to be a rich man, but are you willing to do this? ”

Min Shanyi calmed down for a while, and then said: "That day, when Erchen was in Cangguo, he witnessed the punishment of the monarchs and ministers of the Dong Kingdom, especially the punishment of Ling Chi, which is simply ...... Simply ......"

Min Lei sighed and said, "Of course I know, but ...... Alas...... Wait for the battle report from the front line, as long as Dongyang City can be defended, then Cangguo will not be more than Erer, so there is no need to worry. ”

"I hope ......"

……

Two days later, the news of the fall of Dongyang City reached the Shengguo court.

None of the 80,000 soldiers were spared, and all of them were slaughtered.

For a time, the government and the opposition of the Shengguo were shaken.

This news is tantamount to a bolt from the blue.

The last time Cangguo had such a large-scale massacre, it was in the decisive battle with the cave country, right?

However, that time, after the enemy surrendered, Cangguo did not raise the butcher's knife again, but accepted the surrender.

This time, did you make a ruthless move?

No one believed that none of the 80,000 soldiers surrendered in the end, and the only explanation was that the Cang army either wiped them out in a short period of time with a great advantage, or they did not accept the surrender.

No one knows, in fact, the truth is that after accepting the surrender, the Cang army killed all those soldiers in order to penetrate into the hinterland of Shengguo as soon as possible.

This is similar to the history of killing the god Bai Qipit to kill 400,000 Zhao State soldiers.

Of course, the lives of 80,000 people are not the point, but this incident has given Sheng Guojun and his ministers a blow to the head and shattered all their illusions.

Winter Sun City fell overnight, and the Vermilion Bird Legion had already penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Sheng Kingdom, and after capturing a few smaller cities, it would be able to reach the Heyi Mountain Range, which was very desperate.

If this momentum is maintained, or the Xuanwu Legion also follows one after another, then it may be within a month, and the Sheng Kingdom is in danger of extinction.

For a time, the nobles of Shengguo began to be busy sending doormen and subordinate caravans, carrying letters of surrender, to the Cangjun camp to surrender.

Among them, including Zhu Lixing.

Unlike the nobles, the rebel army in Sheng was simply jubilant and greatly encouraged when they heard the news, and under the impetus of Jinyiwei, the news quickly spread to the countryside, and some remarks were also very loud.

For example, once Cangguo annexed Shengguo, what benefits could the common people get.

In other words, what punishment will be given to those nobles who do evil.

Except for some families with soldiers who went out to fight at home, basically the common people who heard the news were very happy, and they did not look like they were losing their country.

First, Sheng Guo has always implemented a policy of ignoring the people, the national class has been solidified, and the emperor's grace has never bathed the heads of ordinary people.

Second, the lack of culture, the so-called death of the country is not a big deal for ordinary people.

Then, it is the exploitation of ordinary people by the government in the past two years, which can be said to be the biggest factor.

In this way, as soon as the public opinion created by Jinyiwei was promoted, the entire Shengguo seemed to have come to an end.

……

On the contrary, after the news reached Cangguo, the people did not have much turmoil.

Because, it's so normal.

Compared to the defeat of the army of six or seven hundred thousand Dong Kingdom, what are these 70,000 or 80,000 people?

It's easy for an army of 200,000 to attack Shengguo and take a city!

Of course, this is what ordinary people think.

At this time in the Zichen Palace, Yang Mu was holding a document in his hand, and his face was gloomy.
