The five princes listened stunned, turned around and walked out of the tent, Lin Qingwan got up and nodded to Min Shangshu and Zhong Ruying, and followed to catch up.

There was a moment of silence in the tent, and an adult whispered, "Do you want to send a doctor to show the five princes?" ”

Min Shangshu glanced at him and said, "Do you think the fifth prince looks like an injured person?" ”

Isn't the heart hurt?

Min Shangshu said coldly: "Heart disease also requires heart medicine, we are not good at this." ”

Those who are good at it have gone.

Lin Qingwan quickly caught up with the fifth prince and stopped him, "Fifth prince, don't you wait to see Sister Zhong after the meeting?" ”

The fifth prince stopped, his eyes were red, and said, "I thought she was inappropriately commanding, but I didn't expect you to lose on purpose." ”

Lin Qingwan stepped forward and said with a smile: "A momentary win or loss is not called a win or a loss. ”

She looked up at him carefully, and saw that his face was still stained with blood and his hair was scattered, so she sighed slightly: "Your Highness, do you want to freshen up?" ”

The fifth prince shook his head and turned around to leave, but Lin Qingwan grabbed him and said, "Let's talk." ”

The fifth prince squirmed, but Lin Qingwan suddenly felt that he was not so annoying, and led him towards a higher clearing, where there were only two sentinels, and when they saw the arrival of the two big people, they silently retreated a few steps without disturbing them to speak.

Lin Qingwan sat on the ground, patted her side and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

If it was before, the fifth prince would definitely disdain, after all, it was too rude, but at this time, he was tired and hungry, and he felt uncomfortable, so he simply sat on the ground.

Lin Qingwan asked, "Do you still think it's fun to fight?" ”

The five princes' tears couldn't help but pour out, he lowered his head and stretched out his hand to wipe his tears, but the tears were like the water that had leaked the flood, and he couldn't listen to it.

Lin Qingwan suddenly felt a little ruthless, and couldn't help but reach out and pat him on the back.

The fifth prince cried out with a "woo woo", and after a while, he hiccuped and cried: "Two of my people died, one was seriously injured, and the lightly injured ones are not counted, the military doctor said that the seriously injured one is afraid that he will not survive tonight, and we were still talking together last night......

He wiped his tears and cried: "I, I didn't want them to die, the third brother said, those who fight together are brothers, although I look down on them, but, but I want to take them to make contributions, why did they die?" ”

"That Wang Zhu, who is particularly unproductive, just wants to be the head of the army in the future, and if he is not a soldier, he will go home and marry a widow with a child, why don't you think he wants to order a good one, marry a yellow flower girl, and have a child by himself?"

Lin Qingwan withdrew her hand, and said half-loudly: "If there are those who die in the army, only the disabled soldiers will be repatriated, and the old ones will be repatriated unless they really can't walk." How could a soldier who was too old to walk, unable to work, or crippled marry a yellow flower girl? ”

The fifth prince's eyes widened and he looked at Lin Qingwan in disbelief.

"It's his luck to be able to marry a widow, and it's great luck to be able to marry a widow with a child." Lin Qingwan turned her head to him and smiled: "Wang Zhu's dream is still quite big. ”

The fifth prince felt that he couldn't breathe.

Looking at his red eyes, Lin Qingwan suddenly didn't want to scare him, she looked up at the stars in the sky and said, "Old Five, do it again, can you save Wang Zhu on the battlefield?" ”

The five princes nodded again and again.

"Then how many kings can you save? How many can you save when their lives are threatened? ”

The fifth prince looked down at his hands, held his breath and said, "I am not good at martial arts......"

"Yes, you are not good at martial arts, and I don't know martial arts at all," Lin Qingwan stretched out his hand and said, "So I don't even dare to go to the battlefield, and I can't save anyone there." ”

The fifth prince looked at her hand in a daze, and raised his eyes to look at her, "But everyone respects you very much, and they all think that you can save them." ”

"Do you know why?"

The fifth prince shook his head in a daze.

Lin Qingwan nodded and said, "I'm not good at fighting, what I'm good at is this, so I can help them in other places and help them reduce casualties." ”

She looked at his eyes seriously and said, "Old Five, do you know how many people you can save when you go to Shu Kingdom to be a proton?" How many people like Wang Zhu? ”

The fifth prince Mu shook his head in a daze, how can he save people by being a proton?

Isn't the proton just an object, an object that two countries threaten each other?

Generally, there are only two kinds of people who will be given up as protons, one is a very high-status and very important person, such as his fourth brother; One is a character with a high status, but dispensable, such as him.

The former became a hostage, and he lost the qualification to inherit and his status declined, while the latter became a hostage and still had no inheritance qualifications, but his status would rise slightly, to put it bluntly, this is a thing whose status is close to an important object.

He doesn't want to be an object, whether it is appreciated or depreciated, it's not like his mother said, pushing the fourth brother to go, he can become the emperor.

He never wanted to be an emperor, he just didn't want to die, he didn't want to go to Shu to be humiliated.

As long as he thought of the fate of those protons recorded in the history books, the five princes trembled, and the kind of cold was comparable to the hell they experienced today.

There is little struggle in the royal family of the Liang Kingdom, and the five princes obviously have not learned to be silent in front of people, Lin Qingwan saw through all his thoughts at a glance.

I can only sigh that this is just a child who has been taught badly, but obviously the heart is not too bad.

She pondered for a moment and continued, "Do you know what the benefits of the alliance between Daliang and Shu are? ”

"There are many soldiers and generals, can you take down the state of Chu faster?"

Lin Qingwan smiled, "Although I don't know how to fight, I also know the impact of military strength and morale on a war, if our three kingdoms fight separately on the land of this Chu State, whether it is Daliang, Shu State, or Chu State, there will be countless Wang Zhu who will go forward and die on this land one by one, but in addition to consuming lives, it will not have much impact on the war situation." ”

"Because the state of Chu is not destroyed, it is impossible for Liang Shu to retreat, and if Liang Shu does not retreat, the state of Chu will not sit back and wait for destruction, this is a situation that does not stop dying," Lin Qingwan said softly: "But, is this the fault of the soldiers of the Chu state?" Or is it the fault of my Liang soldiers or Shu soldiers? ”

The fifth prince thought about it, and finally stammered: "It seems that it is the fault of my Daliang and Shu Kingdom, after all, the war was provoked by us." ”

Lin Qingwan smiled, "That's true, but do you know why we're fighting this battle?" ”

"In order to expand the territory!" The fifth prince said it categorically.

Lin Qingwan shook her head, looked up at the vast starry sky, and said softly: "For reunification!" Whether it is Daliang, Chu, Shu, or Dali and Min in a corner of peace, they are all the same country, although there are occasional wars, but they will not be so chaotic. The Great War has always been only external. ”

Lin Qingwan looked back at him and said seriously: "Old Five, it has been nearly two hundred years since this troubled era, if you have been in the household department, you should know how much difference there is between the mortality rate and the new population in the past twenty years, and how many Wang Zhu are among those who have died?" How many Wang Zhu's family members can there be? ”

"Your Majesty's purpose is not to expand your territory, and even Emperor Chu and Emperor Shu are just like Your Majesty, wanting to dominate the world." Lin Qingwan said: "Whoever can be unified will be able to leave a name in history, this is a name; Whoever can be unified, whose wife, sons, and grandchildren can survive and be rich and prosperous for a lifetime, which is a benefit; And whoever can unify will be able to relieve the people from fire and water, this is the will! ”

"For fame and fortune, but also for my own ambitions, Your Majesty is, your Sister Zhong is, I am, even Min Shangshu, who has always been at odds with your Sister Zhong!" Lin Qingwan said: "Your fourth brother also has this ambition, so what about you, what do you want to do for this country, and what do you want to leave for your life?" ”

The fifth prince was stunned, and he said dumbfoundedly: "No one has ever told me about these ......"

The father didn't say it, the queen mother didn't say it, the mother concubine couldn't say it, and even the concubines didn't mention it.

Lin Qingwan smiled and looked at him with a soft gaze, "That's because you are still young, and when the fourth prince was the same age as you, he had just joined politics, so naturally he didn't understand." ”

The fourth prince had never thought about being an emperor before, didn't he still think about these things when he was pushed to the front by the eldest princess and Zhong Ruying?

He was crowned by then.

"Originally, we had time for you to grow up slowly, but this war is even more difficult than we imagined, Xiang Shan is a rare good general," Lin Qingwan sighed: "He has been alienated from the government by Emperor Chu before, so we didn't expect him to be activated, and he was put in such an important position, so he was caught off guard." ”

The alliance between Liang and Shu will not only reduce casualties between Liang and Shu, but also for Chu.

The five princes looked incredulous.

Lin Qingwan smiled, "This is the sense of oppression brought by the gap, if the difference is too big, you can't even afford to resist, so why talk about war?" ”

"For example, if your eldest brother is still here, will your brothers still want to be emperors?"

The fifth prince's face turned red, and he shouted weakly: "Now that my father has chosen the fourth brother, I have never thought of becoming the emperor." ”

He hadn't thought about it, his mother had just thought about it.

Lin Qingwan smiled: "I know, but if your eldest brother is here, will everyone not think about it again?" ”

"That's nature, who can compare to Big Brother?"

Although the fifth prince was not familiar with him, he still remembered it deeply, and the eldest brother took care of them like his father, who was smart and heroic, and no one in the court did not boast about the Chinese martial arts.

Don't talk about him, he dares to guarantee that even the fourth brother never thought of going past the eldest brother.

"So it is with man, so it is with the nation." Lin Qingwan continued: "If the forces of our two countries are far greater than that of the Chu State, the Chu State will naturally be demoralized, and then there may not be a long time before the war will be suspended, so their casualties will not be as big as a tug-of-war." ”

Because the battle line was lengthened, and the wartime was extended indefinitely, the troops and material resources invested were immeasurable.

Even if one side wins in the end, it will bring indelible damage to the country and the people.

And the aftermath of this injury will remain until it erupts later.
