Chapter 831 The whole family is a rebel (115)

After Xiao Ji arrived, Jin Yan immediately had all government affairs of the North handed over to him. The emperor, who never liked to read memorials when he was in Chang'an, was now sitting facing the moon, holding in his hands the official documents newly presented by the officials of the North.

It was a deep night, the moon was high in the sky, and there were gusts of cool breeze.

When Zhong Xing and the others came over, Xiao Ji was busy reviewing official documents. The moonlight was like frost, shining through the window onto him, making the already handsome emperor even more divine, high and mighty, and unapproachable.

The three were about to salute, but they heard the words "forget it", so they had to stand in front of the table properly.

After a long while, Xiao Ji put down the official documents, and gently shook his wrist which was stiff from maintaining the same posture for too long, and then looked at the few people, "Is Yan'er asleep?"

Xiao Jinan nodded, "She fell asleep. I came out only after I saw my sister fall asleep. She drank the medicine cleanly. She didn't cough at all during the night. I think my sister will be able to get out of bed tomorrow."

Xiao Quji said: "Yan'er said that he hopes father will take care of his health and not be too tired."

Zhong Xingze said, "Uncle, Yan'er left all the government affairs to you because she didn't want you to worry about her health all the time. She didn't want you to help her deal with all the complicated government affairs. But she said she knew you wouldn't listen, so she asked us to supervise you."

After saying that, Zhong Xing added with a strong desire to survive, "Every word I said is the original words of the princess. Your Majesty, please understand."

Xiao Ji sneered, "Look at what you have accomplished!"

Even the traitor who had been thinking about rebellion all day long could sometimes feel scared.

He didn't waste any more words and directly asked them to look at the documents on the table. They seemed to be new things, but if you peel off the top layer, you will find that they are all things that have happened before.

Thinking of his daughter's expression when she said "there is nothing new in the world", Xiao Ji felt indescribable discomfort in his heart. Compared to them who had truly experienced the change of dynasties and the cycle of history, his young daughter, who should have been ignorant of the world, was more like an eyewitness of history, watching the change of dynasties and the cycle of history soberly.

It is painful to be sober.

And he felt the pain his daughter felt.

Xiao Jinan was young and had the worst temper. He slammed the document on the table, cursed "Damn it" and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Xiao Quji.

The weak brother who had been sick since childhood had a pair of thin hands with distinct joints, but he was unexpectedly strong. The young general was held by him and could not struggle at all.

"Ann, calm down."

After Xiao Quji finished speaking, he let go of his hand and looked at Xiao Ji again. He slowly said, "Merchants pursue profit. Yan'er said, 'The world is bustling with people because of profit. The world is bustling with people because of profit.' In their hearts, the righteousness of family and country is not as important as the profit gained from a single transaction. It is expected that they will do anything for the sake of profit. However, they have gone too far. They took advantage of Yan'er's young age and tolerance and thought that she was easy to bully. Thus, they suppressed the people, occupied the land, and tried to become powerful and control the world. This is a heinous crime."

The last person who did this was torn into pieces by five horses.

Xiao Jinan immediately said: "Then let's repeat the torture of the old dynasty."

Xiao Ji did not speak, but looked at Zhong Xing. Zhong Xing immediately said: "Behind these big businessmen, there are all powerful families backing them up. The wanton expansion of the powerful families is the result of the indulgence and even support of the government, the corruption and cowardice of the officials, and the inadequacy and weakness of the law. All this weakness and indulgence ultimately led to the lawlessness of the businessmen..."

"Then just kill them all!"

Xiao Jinan said.

Anyway, they are all damned guys. Zhong Xing was not angry after being interrupted, but sighed, "It's easy to kill people, but it's hard to stop this trend."

Xiao Jinan still insisted on his point of view. He said coldly: "That's just because we didn't kill enough people and we didn't kill them cruelly enough!"

People are afraid of death, and he doesn't believe that in the face of life and death, there are still people who only care about their own interests.

But soon Zhong Xing handed the copy he was reading to Xiao Jinan. It was about a businessman who committed treason for profit. After the craftsman who leaked the secrets of the saddle and stirrups and his family were killed, some people made the same choice as the craftsman and merchant even because of the huge profits they made.

Even after being caught, knowing that they were going to die soon and that their family and friends would be implicated, they still did not repent and even threatened that if given another chance, they would still make the same choice.

Obviously, killing can indeed solve many problems in a timely and effective manner, but it is not omnipotent. Moreover, under the influence of huge temptations and desires, the fear brought by death will gradually fade until it disappears completely.

What will the world be like then?
What emerged in Zhong Xing's mind was the scene of the demise of the previous dynasty, the ruins and dead bodies everywhere, the bones exposed in the wild, and the desolate sky without the crowing of roosters for thousands of miles after a few words in the history books.

Xiao Jinan wanted to refute, but the glaring example was right in front of him, so he could only swallow back his unfinished words. However, he refused to admit defeat. He kicked the table in annoyance, but glanced at Xiao Ji guiltily.

After a while, he said with some suffocation and distress: "Watching these damn things all day long will make a healthy person sick, let alone my sister..."

He paused, but couldn't control his temper and said viciously: "No matter what, I must kill these people. I can't let go of the hatred in my heart if I don't kill them!"

Zhong Xing did not try to persuade him.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

In fact, after learning what happened, the first thing he thought of was what a pity it was. It was a pity that Wang Wu was working on a case outside and not in Chang'an, otherwise he would have been the one coming to the north this time.

With Wang Wu’s reputation as a butcher, he must have scared a few people to death, right?

Wang Wu who was far away in Jiaodong: "..."

However, although Wang Wu's reputation is terrifying, Zhong Xing is not a pushover either. These people have fallen into his hands and it is useless to pray for good luck. If he can leave their bodies intact, it will be his fault.

After listening to the three people for a long time, Xiao Ji finally said: "What you said makes sense. Go down and write a policy paper and give it to me tomorrow."

Zhong Xing and Xiao Quji responded happily, but Xiao Jinan looked confused.

what?
Policy discussion?

What kind of policy essay would he, a general who was engaged in military campaigns, write?

But - the father's orders cannot be disobeyed, and the emperor's orders cannot be disobeyed even more!
After sending the three people away, Xiao Ji stretched his stiff limbs. He stood with his back to the window, looking at the starry night outside.

Have you ever seen the bright moon tonight, Yan'er?
His daughter had an extraordinary background, but he seldom delved into it. But tonight, for some reason, some strange yet familiar scenes kept appearing in his mind, as if he had experienced them himself.

He was afraid that he would never be able to repay the debt owed to his daughter.

Then he laughed again.

Then you can’t pay it off.
