The battle for the crown prince at that time was compiled into a folk story and widely circulated. The five princes each had their own merits, but in the end, some died, some got sick, some were demoted, some were demoted, and some were crazy.
It can be described as tragic.
But to say that the most unfortunate one and the most powerful one at that time was definitely the second prince Xiao Jinyao.
The second prince was brave and good at fighting. He led three thousand soldiers in southern Shu to defend the city against 100,000 barbarians in southern Xinjiang for more than three months, and finally won. No one knows how he did it.
The second prince cares about the people. While all the princes are trying to gain power and make money at the expense of others for the sake of the throne, the second prince has already traveled among the people to dissipate his family wealth and only focus on doing things for the people.
The second prince is brave and resourceful, etc...
The second prince suffered a miserable life. He was killed by an adulterer and was bedridden for a year. He suffered from many illnesses and became a cripple with a withered life span.
The second prince was "merciful" and was willing to give up his military power in order to save a general who was like a duckweed in troubled times. The general seemed to be crazy and killed the holy uncle and his son. He killed people but did not run away. He just sat on the ground and looked at a Guanyin jade pendant in his hand.
This general was originally sentenced to death, but in the end he was saved by the second prince and became a minor guard in the prince's palace.
The prince left some behind, preferring to be a powerless person for the rest of his life, unable to protect the common people, unable to protect the health of his family and country, and even without freedom.
The idle prince was imprisoned for his whole life just to save a mad general.
Intention: to do good
