Lin Qingwan was stunned and asked, "Then who won?" ”

"No one won, Your Majesty is angry, your brother is pulling Old Man Li, oh, that is, the former Guozi priest wine, a big white beard, trembling, and unstable on his feet, you must not have seen it, your brother was proud of the spring breeze at that moment," Zhong Ruying tilted his head and thought for a while: "He has been dead for nine years, right?" At that time, your brother pulled him to stand between me and Lu Zhen, how dare Lu Zhen and I make a move, that old man seems to be able to fall to the ground as soon as the wind blows. ”

Lin Qingwan: "......" She didn't expect Lin Jiang to have a time to pull people to touch porcelain.

Zhong Ruying said: "At that time, there was no winner or loser, but the things were still snatched by Lu Zhen, and then he snatched things from my Zhong family, so this feud was settled." ”

Lin Qingwan asked, "You didn't rob him?" ”

"Of course I robbed it," Zhong Ruying said confidently: "If you don't snatch it back, won't my Zhong Jiajun admit it?" ”

"However, seven or eight times out of ten times you can't grab it," Zhong Ruying sighed, "Cui Shangshu is quite fair, but there are many ministers in the DPRK who are biased against me, so the Northeast Army, Cui Jiajun and Lu Jiajun have all snatched things from me, but it is extremely difficult for me to rob them, and I have relied on me to spill in front of His Majesty several times to win." ”

Zhong Ruying glanced at Lin Qingwan and said, "But it's much better now, especially after you have also become an official in the court, the attitude of the officials who came to negotiate this time has been much better towards me." ”

At least the estrangement that had always stood between her and the court officials had almost disappeared.

In the past, she was the only woman in the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, so whether the deliberations were right or wrong, the courtiers were more strict with her, but now that there is one more Lin Qingwan, this harshness has been reduced.

Zhong Ruying lowered her eyes and thought about it, looked left and right, and then whispered: "You say, what will happen when there are more than you and me in the court one day?" ”

Lin Qingwan raised her eyebrows slightly, smiled and said nothing.

Zhong Ruying looked at her for a long time, and finally sighed: "You and I are special cases, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to have special cases." ”

Lin Qingwan said: "Everyone is different, do you know that others will not be a special case?" However, these are troubled times, so there are exceptions. I'm afraid it will be more difficult after the peaceful and prosperous times, so if you want to have more female officials, it is best to make the exception a regular rule before the troubled times are calmed down. ”

Zhong Ruying's heart moved, put her shoulder and smiled: "Good sister, I know you are the smartest, but tell me, how to make the exception become the rule?" ”

Lin Qingwan shook her head and said, "I don't know." ”

Zhong Ruying glared.

Lin Qingwan smiled and said: "I really don't know, Sister Zhong, I didn't expect to get to this point today, I don't know what the future will be like, what I do now is good or bad for the future, it's just worthy of the present." ”

She knows that history has its inevitability, and she is a student of history, except for the wars launched by the superiors for power and profit, all the great wars in history are conflicts caused by the mismatch between the relations of production and the productive forces.

So she is committed to charity, but she only dares to come up with bamboo paper and tofu that are in line with this era, but it is just to make the technology of occasional disconnection reappear in front of people and feed a large group of people.

She aspires to calm the world, but she only dares to do what she can behind the scenes, either donating food or negotiating......

Doesn't she have something more conducive to people's livelihood?

Doesn't she know the formula for gunpowder?

Even if she doesn't know the specifics, but she knows the general principle, she has countless skilled craftsmen, and she has her own way to specialize in it, and with her reminder in advance, it will not be difficult to make a musket in time.

With this sharp weapon, Zhong Ruying and they can of course use this to catch Xiang Shan off guard, not to mention the Chu State, and even the Shu State after that, they must temporarily avoid the edge.

And after that?

This is a technology that does not belong to this era, the musket has brought the world into contact with hot weapons in advance, the ambitions of the superiors remain the same, but there is no corresponding productivity and production relations, and a sudden elevation of a layer of technology will plunge the world into chaos.

Temporary pacification will only allow this contradiction to accumulate more and more deeply, and when this contradiction reaches its extreme point in the future, once it erupts, the whole world will be involved in war again.

And it will only be bigger and more tragic than this time.

This is almost gambling on the luck of the future generations, Lin Qingwan will not do this, and even everyone who knows this truth will not do it.

And the relationship between men and women is also a part of the production relationship, she doesn't know whether the current change is good or bad for the future, so she doesn't dare to let go of her hands and feet, just to influence more people with her own ability, so that the future woman will not have a hard time.

There are many ways to let a woman stand on the court, not to mention anything else, pushing the eldest princess to the front of the stage is one of the best ways.

But she didn't do that, she was afraid.

is afraid that her actions today will cause disaster for others, so she can only go with the flow.

Zhong Ruying asked, she can only do not know, she is not a person of this era, and there are things in her mind that do not belong to this era, so she can't do too much, but it is not what she does, then it should be her own choice that belongs to this era.

What Lin Qingwan can do is a little reminder, a little hint, as for whether it will succeed or not, it depends on fate and the way of heaven.

Since Lin Jiang said that there is a Heavenly Dao in this world, the Heavenly Dao should have its own choice.

Zhong Ruying didn't know that Lin Qingwan thought so much in a short moment, she pulled people into the camp tent and asked in a low voice, "You really have no choice?" ”

Lin Qingwan smiled, "Women can't participate in the imperial examination, and they can't join the army, you also said that you and I are special cases, what can I do?" ”

"But as you said, everyone is a special case."

"Yes, then there should also be an opportunity for them to show their talents, such as entering the Imperial Court like me, who is also good at diplomacy, so that you can see your talents; Another example is you, who are good at fighting, can go to the battlefield and conquer the generals with their achievements; or there are people who are careful and good at solving cases, and they can enter the criminal department; Those who are excellent in arithmetic enter the Ministry of Work or the Ministry of Households......"

Zhong Ruying clapped her hands, "Special move!" ”

Lin Qingwan smiled, "Your lords won't agree." ”

Zhong Ruying pursed her lips, "A group of big men, with a small belly and chicken intestines." ”

Lin Qingwan got up and said, "Okay, let's wash up, tomorrow we have to meet the envoys of Shu." ”

Zhong Ruying didn't mention this topic again, but she cared about it in her heart, and secretly remembered tonight's words in her heart.

The next day, the envoys of the two countries formally met and sat down to talk.

Min Shangshu proposed that the two countries join forces, but instead of bringing all the troops together, they shifted from fighting separately to more intimate cooperation.

After the cooperation, it was still divided into two lines, the east and west, the Shu army was still on the western front, and the Liang army was on the eastern front.

Therefore, the losses on the Eastern Front would be very large, and Min Shangshu asked them to give 200,000 troops to the command of the Eastern Front to slightly level the losses of the Liang State.

For the former point, the envoys of Shu agreed with it, but objected to the latter point.

Their troops and horses were already tight, and if they proposed 200,000 troops, the Western Front would be overstretched, so they could only give 100,000 troops.

Min Shangshu argued on the basis of reason, and the two sides quarreled all morning, and finally initially fixed the strength at 150,000 people.

Then there is a discussion of the quality of the troops, these 150,000 they will definitely not be old, weak, sick and disabled, so they have designated the troops that several generals of the Shu army are now leading.

After the matter of the joint army was negotiated, the day passed, and in the evening, everyone ate and drank together, and Min Shangshu took the opportunity to bring up the matter of protons.

Said: "Your country's 150,000 troops are here, and my Liang is more than half of the troops, no matter what, this battle must also be reassured by both sides, so it is best for both countries to send a prince to each other's camp as a hostage, so that the soldiers of the two countries are also more at ease." ”

Lin Qingwan said with a smile: "And the prince of the allied country is about to fight, this is a good way to boost morale." ”

The envoys of Shu looked at each other and asked, "I wonder if your country plans to send that prince to my Shu Kingdom?" ”

Min Shangshu glanced at Lin Qingwan and said with a smile: "It is His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, who is the emperor's favorite." ”

Phew, if you are the most favored, you are willing to take it out as a hostage?

The envoy of Shu discussed in a low voice, nodded and said: "It's okay to exchange protons, but the second prince of my country is young, and I am afraid that he will not be able to go to war, so it is best to escort him to the imperial capital of your country for protection." ”

Min Shangshu smiled, "So we invited the eldest prince of your country." ”

The envoy of Shu glared, "This ...... The eldest prince is my imperial concubine, how can this be ......"

Lin Qingwan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, if you are afraid that the eldest prince is not safe in the army, then you will not be in battle, and when the time comes, you will be escorted into Beijing and live with our emperor." Living in my Daliang Palace, there is no need to worry about safety. ”

It's even more unsafe to live with your emperor of Daliang.

Seeing them shirking, Min Shangshu couldn't help but say with a cold face: "Could it be that your country can't trust my Liang?" Or do you have no sincerity at all, so you will give up an inconsequential second prince and go back on your word in the future? ”

Min Shangshu's face changed, and the envoys of Shu also changed their faces, and said coldly: "In this case, then our country will ask the four princes of your country to be hostages, if you agree to the four princes to be protons, then we will ask Your Majesty to ask the eldest prince to go abroad." ”

Lin Qingwan hurriedly said softly: "As the eldest prince, it is true that our four princes need to come forward, but several noble envoys also know that our emperor is old, and since last winter, the affairs of the DPRK and China have been handled by our four princes. ”

Lin Qingwan said very miserably, and sighed: "In this joint battle, my Liang country is far above your Shu country, and the siege is your Shu country, if my Liang soldiers don't have a guarantee, how dare they sell their lives?" That's why proton is mentioned. ”

After Lin Qingwan finished singing with a red face, Min Shangshu immediately continued to sing with a white face, "From the perspective of the order of the eldest and youngest, my Liang Kingdom was originally going to send the three princes to Shu, if you don't look down on the five princes, then let the three princes go to replace your eldest prince." ”

Lin Qingwan immediately said: "A few adults don't know, the fifth prince is the middle-aged son of my emperor, and he is very favored, and I propose him to make you feel at ease." ”

The envoy of the Shu Kingdom snorted coldly, "The four princes can make me feel at ease." ”

But the tone was not so blunt in the end, and he also said: "My emperor only has three princes, and the second prince has always been very favored." ”

Lin Qingwan sighed, "But Emperor Shu is in his prime, and he is different from my emperor." ”
