As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 63 I am the cause of this chaos in the world

At some point, the pitch-black cat gracefully walked into the room, jumped into Mingchen's arms, and found a comfortable position to lie down.

He glanced at Xiao Xinyue with his bright eyes, then lowered his head and rubbed against Mingchen.

Mingchen rubbed Mao'er's head and said, "Of course. What do you want to discuss with me? Do you want to know what happens next?"

Shame on him, he doesn't have such imagination.

"Do not."

Xiao Xinyue shook her head and said, "I would like to discuss the meaning of this story with you, sir."

"Connotation?"

Xiao Xinyue looked into Mingchen's eyes and said, "The heaven you mentioned in your story, does it reflect the current imperial court?"

"That monkey and the various demon kings, are they the blood-robed traitor?"

"Sir, are you suggesting that the Blood-Cloaked Army could be recruited and used by our dynasty, with golden hoops on their heads and fame as a lure, so that we can drive the tigers to devour the wolves and fight against the enemy in the north?"

Mingchen: ...

Can this be substituted?
I am in the first layer, and you are in the atmosphere, sister.

"Sir, stories are just stories, but human nature is the same in different ways. Stories are presented to everyone in accordance with human nature, and people seek reality in stories. A thousand people may read the same story and have a thousand different interpretations."

"To some, it may just be a mysterious and interesting story, a journey to punish evil and eliminate evil."

"Some people believe that it contains the dark side of human nature and the principles of officialdom."

"Some people see it as a heart-wrenching courage, the monkey's rebellious spirit against fate, and his battle against the gods..."

“These interpretations don’t belong to the story, they belong to the reader.”

What the old emperor saw was probably that he was going to kill the monks and eat Tang Monk's flesh.

Mingchen took a sip of tea, looked at Xiao Xinyue, and said something pretentiously: "The connotation that the guest sees is your interpretation. This is your wisdom."

Xiao Xinyue leaned closer to Mingchen and asked, "Do you think this is feasible, sir?"

Mingchen asked in return, "Sir, do you think this is feasible? If so, how would you go about it?"

"He will go to obtain the scriptures only after he is pressed down by the monkey under the mountain."

"Who put the golden hoop on the monkey? How did they lure him with fame and fortune?"

"what can you do?"

Do all royal family members have this problem?
Don’t you even look at how many cards you have in your hand?
It's good enough to be able to differentiate, but why drive the tiger to devour the wolf?

The Blood-Clothed Army is the Yellow Turban Army, not the Liangshan Marsh.

Xiao Xinyue: ...

Although Mingchen's light words left her speechless.

But she knew one thing: this person had extraordinary insight and could get to the crux of the problem in just one sentence.

She pursed her lips and asked Mingchen, "Sir, do you know who I am?"

Mingchen had basically guessed it, but he didn't say it out loud. He just followed the other party and asked, "Who is the guest?"

Xiao Xinyue lowered her eyes, quietly looking at the yellowish tea in the cup, her voice trembling: "I am the cause of this chaos in the world."

Three years ago, she was a carefree and noble princess, even a little willful and capricious.

Until that day three years ago...

Everything has changed.

Qin Lingeng, an envoy from Beilie, openly proposed to the emperor for marriage. The second princess was famous for her beauty, and he longed for her and hoped to marry her and return to Beilie together.

When she got the news, she was devastated.

She is the second princess, holds a high position, and has been diligent in her studies since childhood. She also has some ambitions and ideals, and does not want to be hastily used as a tool for marriage. She wants to make her country better.

How could I marry an envoy so foolishly and flee to another country? There was no hope in this life.

Moreover, the envoy said some bad words afterwards, which was clearly an insult to her.

She was so angry that she lost her mind and ran to the messenger's residence with the knife in her hand. However, when she opened the door, she saw only a lifeless body.

From then on, undercurrents surged and the world changed drastically.

Emperor Beilie announced to the world that the envoy was his sworn brother, and angrily accused Qianyuan of killing the envoy and provoking, disregarding the friendship between the two countries, and going too far.

He immediately sent troops to attack Qian, and the troops approached the border.

The war lasted for three years. The people in the north suffered greatly, rebels arose everywhere, and the people were unable to make a living. Qianyuan was in great danger, and there was even a sign of the country's destruction.

As the fuse of everything, Xiao Xinyue never thought that things would evolve to this point.

Since then, her temperament has changed drastically.

It is no longer that gorgeous and proud flower.

She hasn't had a good night's sleep in the past three years.

Whenever I close my eyes, I can hear the painful howls and cries of countless people, the tragic roars of countless soldiers, and the weeping of the shattered mountains and rivers...

Although, she didn't kill the envoy at all.

But what the truth is may never be important.

The capital city was bustling with singing and dancing.

For many people, the soldiers and civilians who died on the border are just numbers.

But for her, the person involved, every increase in the number is like adding a mountain of pressure on her heart.

She couldn't imagine how those people who suffered from the war would curse and scold her, the willful and arrogant princess.

She didn't dare go out and didn't want to see anyone. When she had nothing to do, she would stay at home and read books.

It was not until recently, after listening to Chunya's words and the monkey's story, that I decided to go out and take a look.

Perhaps it was because it had been pent up for too long, or perhaps it was for some other reason, she confided her thoughts to the special young man in front of her.

The psychological pressure was too great and the princess became depressed.

After learning of Xiao Xinyue's identity, Mingchen didn't seem to be very humble. He didn't even stand up to salute, but just said to Xiao Xinyue: "Your Highness, I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Xiao Xinyue didn't care about Mingchen's overstepping the boundaries.

In a sense, if Mingchen immediately bowed down to her, she would look down on him.

She replied, "Sir, please feel free to speak."

Mingchen said bluntly, "Your Highness, you take yourself a little too seriously."

Xiao Xinyue paused when she heard this.

He then smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Sir, how many people in this world can see the truth? How many people in this world can delve into the reasons behind things?"

She didn't kill anyone, so this war seemed like it was planned.

How could she not know the reason behind it?
But what does it matter if you know?

Everyone in the world knows what caused the war.

Mingchen shrugged. "As long as you have a clear conscience, that's all that matters. If Your Highness insists on being so stubborn, I have nothing to say."

She already knows the truth, so what else is there to reason with?
He was an extremely realistic person and did not show any mercy to the other person.

It is easy to say "have a clear conscience" but difficult to do it.

Of course, he knew the psychological pressure Xiao Xinyue had to bear in this position.

If you don't want to achieve anything and just accept your fate, then just do whatever you want. There's nothing to blame for feeling sorry for yourself and being miserable and sad. There are people who can sympathize with you and comfort you.

She didn't do anything wrong. Her fault was bad luck and her impulsiveness.

But if you are not content with this and want to do something, you cannot indulge in it.

This is not chicken soup, but reality.
