That made it easier for him to do other things.

He wanted to control Murong Jin and use him for his own purposes; if he couldn't, then he would have to let him go back to being an ordinary person.

Di Junlan initially intended for Murong Jin to die, but after getting to know him better, especially after what he had done for Da Cheng, he felt that this person should not die.

In particular, Murong Jin loves Da Cheng, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the battlefield with all his might to repel the invading enemy forces.

Di Junlan stroked his chin, and then a flash of inspiration struck him.

Murong Jin loved the Great Cheng, that's true. But I heard he wasn't satisfied with some of the things his father did, especially regarding taxes on the people and the construction of facilities and buildings. Because the national treasury wasn't full, his father raised taxes... So, although the people suffered in silence, they still did their part for their country...

Emperor Junlan stared at the memorials on the table, his gaze beginning to unfocus.

If he hadn't been saved back then, he might be a wandering ghost in this palace now.

He felt neither love nor hatred towards his father. Since he had no feelings for him, he naturally harbored no resentment. Although he had felt resentment towards his father when he was bullied, he later realized that his mother was nothing more than a lowly palace maid who had climbed into his bed. It was already a great act of kindness for her to let him live.

As for Murong Jin, when he got to know him, he was envious. He had a father who doted on him and loved him, and although his mother had passed away from illness when he was young, she was also a mother who doted on him.

He lived a carefree life from a young age, much more so than he, a prince in name only.

Some people pay a price for vying for power and status, while others live a simple and happy life, content with just three meals a day and the changing seasons.

If he weren't the emperor's son, he would also like to experience life as an ordinary person.

As for that older sister... I don't know how she is now.

However, most of the women who could enter the palace were daughters of noble families, and his older sister was several years older than him, perhaps already married and had children...

If she gets married, I don't know what her husband's family background is, or whether he will treat her well...

He searched for her for so many years, but couldn't find a single trace of her...

When his brothers learned that their father was seriously ill and began to fight for power, his only thought was whether he would have a chance to find out his sister's whereabouts if he gained a higher position.

As a result, his brothers suffered heavy losses, and he benefited from the chaos. When he sat on the throne, he was completely bewildered until he heard the imperial edict. Only then did he realize that his father was not really dying; it was all a test...

As for the royal secrets, he was the emperor's ninth son, and his fifth brother was also his half-brother. Of the remaining seven, five were not the emperor's children, and the other two perished in the battle for the throne...

There were naturally concubines in the harem who had affairs. He knew about this when he was very young, and he almost lost his life because of it.

He didn't care about the throne before, and he still doesn't care about it now. The only thing is that now that he is the emperor, he naturally needs to take responsibility for himself and for the world, especially for the lives of the people.

Murong Jin.

If you are unrighteous, I will also be unjust.
