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

Chapter 792 The whole family is a rebel (76)

When Xiao Buyi looked at Tiansheng and sighed, wondering why he had to deal with so many official documents, thousands of miles away in Chang'an, the noble royal family was still fighting for the throne.

Even with the previous cases of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, everyone knew that the fight for the throne would be a life-and-death struggle, and if one was not careful, one would lose everything and end up dying without a burial place.

But to think about it another way, if the Crown Prince and the Third Prince had not fought to the point of both being injured and one dying while the other being disabled, these marginal princes who were unpopular and had no powerful external relatives to support them would never have had the chance to covet that position!

What God does not take, is to be blamed.

The overwhelming power is right before our eyes, within reach. Who would be willing to hide their ambitions?
Even if they accept their fate, stop fighting, and let go of this incredible opportunity, will their "good brothers" take their brotherhood into consideration and let them go after they take power?

Obviously it is impossible.

There is no brotherhood in the royal family.

How can I allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?

Even if they come to power, they will never let go of any "good brothers" easily.

The fight for the throne intensified, the princes fought hundreds of battles a day, countless subjects became victims in their fight for the throne, the people in the court became more and more uneasy, the aristocratic families with a keen political sense had already sent their children to the north, and the remaining dull ones, although they could not guess who among the rebels in various places would dominate the world in the future, they also knew that it would definitely not be the current court.

What is even more ridiculous is that the princes are either dead or disabled, and the remaining few useless ones are about to commit suicide by exterminating the ancestral temple. The garrison commanders in various places have rebellious, and the jackals of various foreign races have bared their fangs, but the emperor is still praying to gods and cultivating immortality in order to achieve longevity.

How can such an emperor and such a court last long?
……

Jin Yan was far away in the north, but he knew Chang'an very well.

This is because every other day a messenger would pass the news from Chang'an back to the north, so that Xiao Ji and others could make decisions based on the situation.

However, just when all the soldiers and civilians in the north were ready to engage in a desperate battle with the army from Chang'an to suppress the rebellion, a sudden and ridiculous piece of news caught everyone off guard.

In the palace, Jin Yan, who was helping his brothers deal with official documents, stared at Chen Sui in amazement, "What did you say?"

Chen Sui said: "My lady, you heard it right. The general has indeed started fighting with the rebels, but these 'rebels' are not 'those rebels'."

Xiao Quji came to his senses and couldn't help but sneer, "It seems that except for the emperor's family who don't want this world, all the other ambitious people want to get a piece of it!"

While the north was preparing to meet the enemy, there were records of other rebels forming an alliance and heading towards the army in Chang'an.

But, aren’t these people underestimating Chang’an too much?

They said that the defenders in Chang'an were not a threat because they knew how fierce and powerful the northern army was who had been fighting the Huns for years, not because they said that the Chang'an army was really useless.

If this were true, then my father wouldn't have to stay in the north, but could have directly marched into Chang'an.

However, these coalition leaders seemed to have really regarded the Chang'an defenders as trash. They even fantasized that they could work together to strangle the Chang'an army, capture the emperor alive, and re-divide the world!
After Xiao Quji finished expressing his feelings, he turned around and saw that his brother and sister were both smiling.

Suddenly he reacted.

What's wrong with this?

My grandfather and my uncle were both sincere and loyal generals. It was the treacherous officials in the court who spread slander and sowed discord. Your Majesty was suspicious by nature, listened to one side and believed it, and wronged loyal officials. This forced my father into a desperate situation and forced him to raise an army to fight against the treacherous officials in the court, just to protect the innocent people in the north and bring long-term peace to the world.

The North is innocent.

The father who had to raise an army to defend himself was even more innocent.

Now, the emperor is incompetent and has favored sorcerers and flatterers, which has led to the rule of treacherous officials in the court. Loyal officials and generals have been killed at will, innocent people have died tragically, the world is in turmoil, and various places have rebelled. As a loyal official of the emperor, how can I watch the rebels turn the world upside down, watch the people displaced and suffer? I just want peace in the world and let the people live in peace!

On the other side, in the camp which received the news earlier, Xiao Ji’s confidants and advisers were also smiling happily.

"It seems that God is on our side!"

"God help the general!"

"God help my lord!"

Different people shouted different names, all congratulating Xiao Ji who was sitting in the main seat. However, the protagonist who was being congratulated was scolding his little son who got itchy if he wasn't spanked for three days.

He had just glanced at the letter sent from the palace when it was snatched away by Xiao Jinan. The boy accidentally spilled goat milk on it and then tore it up, so some of the words were unrecognizable.

Xiao Jinan quickly admitted his mistake, and the soldiers all pleaded for him, but in the end Xiao Jinan still received a beating on the buttocks.

But this kid was the kind of person who only cared about food and not about punishment. After being implicated by him, he didn't even say a word of apology and went close to Xiao Ji to read the information sent from various places.

"Father, who is this General Qin? Why is he planning to launch a surprise attack on Chang'an? How many troops does he have?"

Although Xiao Ji had just hit him, he answered his questions patiently.

After hearing this, Xiao Jinan couldn't help but let out a surprised voice, "Fifty thousand soldiers? Is he crazy? Does he not want to leave Chang'an alive?"

Even he wouldn't be so frivolous!

Xiao Ji couldn't help laughing as he listened, "He's not crazy, he's just tempted by profit. When His Majesty summoned generals to fight the rebels, the officers and soldiers declined and some even pretended to be sick and had their legs broken. In the end, an old general in his seventies took up the responsibility. They probably thought that once the old general left, there would be no one left in Chang'an."

No matter from which angle you look at it, this was a stupid move, which resulted in the loss of 50,000 lives of soldiers and the leaving of corpses all over Chang'an.

Xiao Jinan thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Even if everyone is pretending to be sick, doesn't His Majesty still exist? I heard from my mother that before the unification of the world, His Majesty personally led the troops to fight..."

Having said this, he paused slightly and recalled what happened later.

And Xiao Ji had an expression on his face that was unclear whether it was regret or emotion.

Yes.

Your Majesty was once a wise ruler in the hearts of countless people.

But people's hearts are fickle.

The world is in such turmoil that even if Your Majesty wants to change something, there is no going back.

What's more, there is no way His Majesty would change anything, as that would be an admission that he made a mistake.

How could someone as high and mighty as the emperor be wrong?

Changan.

When the news reached the palace, the emperor was wearing a black robe, and was practicing the immortality method surrounded by a dozen alchemists who were deeply favored by him.

The messenger's face was filled with anxiety, fearing that he would delay state affairs. He bowed and begged the attendants at the door several times, just wanting them to pass the message on to the emperor. However, because he said a few words in his anxiety that the attendants did not like, he was accused of disturbing the emperor's self-cultivation and was beaten to death by a group of attendants.
