After transmigrating into the villain's daughter, I lie down and win

Chapter 791 The whole family is a rebel (75)

"Aunt..."

"Shh!"

When Xiao Buyi went to see Princess Jinyang with the newly delivered letter, the princess was looking at her sleeping daughter with a gentle and loving expression.

She signaled her son to be quiet, tucked the quilt in for Jin Yan, and then walked out reluctantly.

“No doubt…”

Princess Jinyang was about to ask what had happened, but her son was nowhere to be seen behind her. She smiled helplessly, knowing that her son was missing his sister and wanted to see her one more time, so she did not send anyone to disturb him.

After a long while, Xiao Buyi came out.

He handed the opened letter to Princess Jinyang and said carefully, "Mother, Chang'an is in chaos."

Princess Jinyang seemed to have guessed something, "The emperor is dead?"

Xiao Buyi: "..."

Uh.

Although a big thing happened, it was not this big!

He summarized the contents of the letter succinctly, "Your Majesty favored the alchemists and executed several ministers who were determined to eradicate them. The Crown Prince and the Third Prince had some fights over trivial matters. The Crown Prince died unexpectedly. The Queen retaliated against the Third Prince and his followers and exposed many scandals committed by Your Majesty, including the rebellion of your eldest and second grandfather. Your Majesty was furious and ordered the death of the Queen, exterminated her clan, and executed all the palace maids who knew about it..."

"Where is the third prince?"

"Demoted to a commoner, his mother's family was also exterminated."

"Even those noble families who had close ties with the Queen's family and the Third Prince's mother's family were implicated, and were either exiled or had their property confiscated and their clans exterminated."

"During this prince's rebellion, more than 10,000 people died in Chang'an alone. Add to that the relatives and friends of the aristocratic families in various places, and we don't know how many more people will be implicated."

"The whole Chang'an, or the whole world, is in danger."

At this point, Princess Jinyang had also finished reading the letter.

The emperor's rage, the life and death of the prince, the survival of the aristocratic families, the life and death of tens of thousands of people, were like a feather, failing to cause the slightest ripple in her heart.

She folded the letter calmly, then looked up at her son and asked, "Your Majesty, is this not good?"

Xiao Buyi naturally didn't think so.

He shook his head slightly. "It's not bad. The more your majesty does now, the more mistakes he makes. Naturally, his status in the eyes of the people of the world will become worse and worse. This is a hundred benefits to us, but not a single harm. It's just..."

"Just what?"

Princess Jinyang asked.

Xiao Buyi said, "But over the past year, countless people have died of freezing, starvation, and disasters in places outside the North. If Your Majesty continues to kill like this, I wonder how many innocent people will die. Most importantly, there are not many princes in the palace. If one dies and one is crippled, the choice of the crown prince..."

After that, he asked a question that he couldn't figure out no matter how hard he racked his brains.

"Mother, why has His Majesty gone so crazy?"

Looking back at history, there are so many vivid examples before our eyes. Your Majesty, do you really not know the consequences of doing this now?
How could you be crazy?

Princess Jinyang's mind flashed back to the years she had spent in the palace, the stories her mother had told her, all the groundless suspicion and suppression she had suffered in the north, the magnificent palaces that the emperor had spent countless manpower and financial resources to build, and the scenes of the common people at the bottom who were hungry, living in precarious conditions, and displaced, with corpses scattered all over the ground.

Once upon a time, he was also a sage king in the eyes of scholars and common people.

However, his tremendous power gave rise to his endless desires and ambitions, which made him enslaved by power, driven by desires, and controlled by ambitions, eventually turning him into a ruthless, cruel, bloodthirsty, and incompetent madman.

Thinking of this, what appeared on her face was not the pleasure of finally getting her revenge on her enemy, but an unspeakable sadness.

For the dead Princess Wancheng, for the dead people of Jin, for the common people of the world, for hundreds of thousands of soldiers, for her husband who had been loyal to the emperor and defended her country, for her children who were ignorant but were caught up in the war... Soon, her expression became fierce again.

She said: "Why not go crazy? You are familiar with history. There are many emperors who suddenly went crazy in history."

Xiao Buyi was speechless.

He thought to himself that if he became an emperor in the future, he would never be like those foolish and ruthless emperors who, for their own selfish desires, easily destroyed the foundation created by their ancestors and himself, destroyed the trust and respect of the people, and even left a lot of bad reputations in history!
But can he really do it?

When this thought came to his mind, Xiao Buyi felt cold all over.

He hadn't even touched that high and unreachable position yet, but he had already begun to waver in his heart, let alone the emperor who truly held power and had the final say!
As if she had noticed something, Princess Jinyang suddenly glanced at him.

"You will not."

she says.

Xiao Buyi was slightly stunned, "What did mother say?"

Princess Jinyang looked gentle and resolute. She said with faith, "You are my son. Your father and I raised you. I know you will not become like that."

"But……"

Xiao Buyi wanted to explain, but was stopped by Princess Jinyang, who said, "Don't talk about it. Think more and do it."

Jin Yan had woken up at some point. She was wrapped in a thick coat and appeared behind them silently, yawning.

"Mother, brother, don't worry."

"There are also my second brother and An, and me!"

Only after Jin Yan spoke did Princess Jinyang and Xiao Buzhi realize her existence.

Xiao Buyi immediately turned around and picked up the little person who was curled up on the ground. Looking at his sister who was obviously sleepy but seemed to see through everything, the heavy stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground.

Yes.

What is he worried about?
There are also Quji, An, and Yan.

His brothers, his sister, would never watch him make a mistake and do nothing.

He smiled with relief, but Princess Jinyang frowned. "Have you processed today's official documents? Have you sent away the food and fodder? Have you completed the book editing? Have you succeeded in improving the gunpowder?"

Xiao Buyi: "..."

Princess Jinyang: "Since you don't have any, go and do something. Give me Yan'er."

Xiao Buyi: "..."

I said so much just for the last sentence, right?
After he reluctantly handed the drowsy Jin Yan back to Princess Jinyang, a burst of laughter came from outside the door.

"It's rare to see brother with such an expression."

After returning to the north and recuperating for two days, the depression on Xiao Quji's face was not as obvious, and his whole spirit and energy felt much better.

He stood at the door, looking at Xiao Buyi with a mischievous smile, "Chen Sui just sent a bunch of letters, many of which were sent by my cousin from Chang'an. Brother, you should hurry up and come with me to deal with those urgent letters!"

Jin Yan half-closed her eyes and waved her hand at him, "Brother, work hard."

Xiao Buyi smiled and agreed, "Don't worry about it, kid. Just stay with your mother and take good care of your health."

However, when he and Xiao Quji arrived at the study and looked at the piles of official documents and letters on the desk, while Chen Sui was still busy moving new documents in, the smile on Xiao Buyi's face instantly disappeared.

How come he is the eldest son!
How could he be the eldest son!
