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

Chapter 802 The whole family is a rebel (86)

As soon as Xiao Ji received the letter, he ordered the army to march out and rush all the way to Chang'an.

The emperor is critically ill, the rebellious son usurps power, treacherous ministers are in power, and the people are living in misery.

The time has come.

He wants to purge the emperor's side, punish the rebellious son, kill the treacherous ministers, stabilize the country, and reassure the people!

……

Northland.

Ever since they learned the news that the twelfth prince had usurped power, Princess Jinyang and Xiao Buyi had been so busy that they had hardly ever returned to the palace. Neither of them had expected that when they returned again, they would see a scene that was completely distorted.

"Can either of you tell me how such a big garden of mine suddenly became a ruin?"

Princess Jinyang had just returned from outside. She had been busy and toiled for many days, and her face was full of fatigue. Now, when she saw the garden where she used to stroll around turned into a scorched earth, even though she was not really angry, a bit of majesty and fierceness appeared on her face.

Upon seeing this, the staff and guests in the mansion were all worried for Jin Yan.

The young princess won’t be punished, right?

So, several guests hurriedly stood up, bowed their heads and apologized, saying that the princess and the eldest son had instructed them "teachers" before they left to carefully discipline the second son and the young princess. Now that the young princess was in trouble, the fault lay with them for not disciplining her strictly, not the young princess. So if the princess wanted to punish someone, she should punish them and spare the young princess this time.

The servants in the house also knelt down and pleaded for Jin Yan and Xiao Quji.

Princess Jinyang was a little confused.

What did she say?

Wasn't she just routinely asking about the changes that had taken place at home? Why did these people react as if she would eat someone for such a small matter?
That was her most beloved youngest daughter, her darling since she was born, to whom she was reluctant to say even a harsh word. Even if Yan'er blew up a garden, not to mention her and Xiao Ji's bedroom, or the entire palace, she would not be hurt as long as no one was hurt.

Zhang An was Princess Jinyang's confidant. Seeing her expression, he knew what she was thinking, so he stepped forward and said, "You all misunderstood. The princess is not angry. She just wants to know what good things the young princess has invented."

The servants were stunned and couldn't help looking at each other, feeling very awkward.

Seeing this, Princess Jinyang said, "Those who are in charge of the Shaofu will stay, and everyone else can leave."

"Here!"

After everyone had left, Princess Jinyang looked at her two children who were standing facing the wall as punishment, and a mischievous smile broke out on her face.

"They don't know, and you two don't know mother's temper either. Will mother really punish you?"

As Princess Jinyang was speaking, she realized that her second son's face was pale and bloodless, and her little daughter, who was usually fearless, now had a tense face. She was immediately heartbroken.

Pulling Jin Yan into her arms and looking at him carefully, Princess Jinyang asked, "Why do you look like that? Are you unhappy to see your mother back? Or did you hurt someone during this experiment?"

Jin Yan pursed her lips and said after a while: "Mother, I was wrong."

Princess Jinyang's face darkened. She had already checked on her two children and knew that they were both safe. The guards and servants in the mansion, the Shaofu, and the people from the Mohist School would not let them be in danger. So the injured person must be someone else.

"Who's hurt?"

She asked.

Jin Yan said: "It's Chen Ye."

Xiao Quji added: "One of his legs was injured in the explosion, but Gongsun Chou and the doctors have reattached his leg using the method taught by Yan'er..."

But it is hard to say whether he can walk normally in the later stage and whether he can recover as before. Yan Er was sad because of this.

Even though she knew very well that if she wanted to do these things, there would be bloodshed and sacrifice, how could she feel good when she saw her good friend and "disciple" breaking his leg in front of her?

Princess Jinyang had guessed what was going on when she heard this. She touched Jinyan's face lovingly and said softly, "This is not your fault. Chen Ye and the Mo family won't blame you, but you must remember the lesson this time and don't let the same thing happen a second or third time. Got it?"

Jin Yan nodded.

Princess Jinyang looked at her with relief, and then instructed: "Zhang An, take some of the best tonics from my private storehouse and send them to Chen Ye, and tell Gongsun Chou and the doctors to save Chen Ye's leg. Send another thousand gold to the families of Chen Ye and all those injured in the experiment, and tell them that the palace will do its best to treat those who have made contributions, and will also support the families of the meritorious officials, so that they don't have to worry."

Zhang An took the order and left.

Princess Jinyang then asked Jinyan, "What was the thing that exploded this time?"

Jin Yan glanced at something not far away, then ran to the table and brought back a long, cylindrical iron object. Princess Jinyang's mouth twitched instantly. Thinking of the garden that had been bombed into ruins, her throat suddenly became dry.

"Is this what it is?"

Princess Jinyang asked with difficulty.

Jin Yan nodded.

Princess Jinyang almost lost the calmness on her face.

She moved her lips and quickly looked at her second son who was always calm and composed. "Quji, this..."

Xiao Quji knew what she was worried about, and hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, mother. This thing won't explode. The most important ammunition has not been loaded into it yet. And if you want it to play its best role, you need a special cannon."

Hearing this, Princess Jinyang felt relieved a little.

Then, she asked, "How many of these things are there now? How much do they cost? Can they be mass-produced? How long will it take to make them? What should I pay attention to if I want to transport them?"

The first and second batches of food, fodder and ammunition are already on the way. If there are more such shells, even the impregnable walls of Chang'an will be reduced to ruins in an instant, right?

Jin Yan did not give a direct answer to this question. Instead, she took Princess Jinyang to the warehouse of the Shaofu, which was specially used to store weapons and equipment, and asked the guard to open the door that weighed more than a thousand pounds and could only be opened by her.

……

Changan.

Inside the solemn and magnificent imperial palace, a grand yet chaotic, ridiculous and absurd coronation ceremony was being held.

The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. The prince is seriously ill and unable to attend court. It is naturally understandable that the prince ascends the throne early and presides over court meetings.

What made the ministers anxious and uncomfortable was that the prince did not do things according to common sense and did not take the ancestral etiquette and laws into consideration at all.

Without waiting for the officials of Taichang to propose an auspicious day, and without waiting for all the rituals to be prepared in the court, the prince acted on his own and not only set the date of his birth as the date of his enthronement, but also required that all rituals be carried out according to his preferences.

Not to mention the officials in Taichang who specialized in studying etiquette, even other officials could not accept such a ridiculous thing happening while they were in office.

But the prince held great power and would kill anyone who disobeyed him. After killing more than a dozen officials in succession, the voices of opposition disappeared, leading to the current absurd, ridiculous and funny coronation scene.

However, before the ministers could catch their breath, the new emperor immediately issued another decree, first rehabilitating his notorious uncle's family, and then directly honoring his mother, the guilty concubine who had passed away many years ago, as the empress dowager, and also said that she would be buried with the emperor after his death.

No one knew what the emperor was feeling, but all the officials in the court wanted to die.

Oooh!
If the emperor behaves like this, they will probably be infamous for eternity!
