The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Xiao Rui didn't know that when he left the harem, he had a pair of beautiful eyes that stared at his back and refused to move away.

The fate of people and people, seemingly coincidental, is actually more determined.

Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Rui checks the system in his spare time. The descending value has reached 80/100. It only takes one or two tasks to descend again. Xiao Rui is very excited at this moment.

Every time, it's like the groom wants to lift the hijab of a bride he hasn't met. Whether it's ugly or beautiful, male or female, only by lifting her hijab can he see her real face, beautiful, and the bet is won. Qi Chou will lose miserably. Are you excited or not?

After so many missions, Xiao Rui understands the temper of the system. Only when he encounters troubles, the system will assign missions and urge him to complete them!

Now that I have no foresight or near-term worries, I guess the system won't be able to issue tasks for a while.

Instead, you can consider checking the identities of your mother and grandfather. The rewards for the three long-term missions are also rich enough, but Xiao Rui is a little embarrassed that the only clue he knows is in Emperor Xia.

After exposing the crimes of the Han family that day, Emperor Xia met Zhuge Yuanba alone, and Zhuge Yuanba forwarded what he said to Xiao Rui. Contradictory.

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Rui still postponed the investigation.

Back in the palace, when Xiao Rui passed by the front hall, he suddenly found Gao Quan, the steward of the palace, scolding an eight or nine-year-old child.

"Are you worthy of His Royal Highness's careful care?"

"You know how to cause trouble outside! And you even beat the children of high-ranking officials. If they didn't take care of your highness, they would definitely break your legs!"

"I don't even fart at ordinary times. Do you know how much trouble those children who beat up will cause His Highness? Do you know? Talk!"

Gao Quan reprimanded him, the child lowered his head and said nothing but clenched his fists, showing his inner stubbornness.

Xiao Rui frowned and stepped forward.

Gao Quan stopped reprimanding Xiao Rui when he saw Xiao Rui came, and said respectfully: "Your Highness!"

Xiao Rui said: "Go to the kitchen and let me know, I'm a little hungry, today's dishes should be made spicy."

Gao Quan responded and left quickly.

Xiao Rui looked at the boy and asked, "Why did you hit someone? The senior management reprimanded you, why didn't you refute or explain?"

The boy still lowered his head, but facing Xiao Rui's question, he finally said: "Those people humiliated you!"

Xiao Rui was startled, and said with a smile: "Polu, are you defending this king?"

That's right, the boy in front of him was the child that Xiao Rui promised the bandit's wife to keep when he went to Qiuyang County to suppress the bandits. He didn't have a name, but was called Tiezi by his parents. Later, Xiao Rui sent him to study in Yuewen Academy, and Xiao Rui even gave him a new name: Polu.

But no last name.

This name entrusts Xiao Rui's expectations for him, hoping that he will be a general who is useful to the country, instead of becoming a grassroots bandit like his parents.

However, other people in the mansion didn't understand Xiao Rui's actions, thinking that he was raising a tiger to make trouble, and one day this little thing would come back. After all, his parents were indirectly destroyed by Xiao Rui. So the attitude towards him is not very friendly.

But Xiao Rui also has his own intentions, one is to always remind himself to remain calm and cruel. The second is that this child Polu is filial, his parents deserve what they deserve, but he is innocent. It is right to cut grass and roots, but if you do that, what is the difference between Xiao Rui and a bandit?

Xiao Rui is a time traveler, he has already changed his thinking to adapt to this era, but in such a short period of time, he still cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately for his own benefit.

People are not sages and sages can do nothing wrong, during this period of time when he was with Polu, he had seen clearly the character of this child, so he decided to continue to teach him and keep him by his side. If his character is not good, Xiao Rui has already sent him to another place.

Hearing Xiao Rui's question, Polu shook his head and said: "My mother said, I am His Highness's slave. As a slave, I will do anything for his master! Including murder!"

Xiao Rui patted him on the shoulder with a smile, but asked, "Tell me, whose child did you beat?"

Polu said: "It seems to be called a commercial firm!"

"People from merchants?" Xiao Rui frowned. The only big households in the capital with the surname Shang were merchants from Shang Jin, a cabinet scholar and minister of officials! Yuewen Academy was founded by Master Mencius, and there are no distinctions in education, so it also recruited common people, but the surname Shang is rare, so it must be a member of the Shang Jin family.

Speaking of merchants, the eighth prince, Xiao Jing, has been very happy recently. Emperor Xia has agreed to his marriage with Shang Jin's granddaughter, but the marriage has not yet been conferred. Once married, Xiao Jing's background will become deeper. He is different from Xiao Yuan. Before the collapse of the Han family, the power provided to Xiao Yuan was focused on the military. And Xiao Jing is in Confucianism.

Xiao Jing studied under the great Confucianism, and once he got married, he gained the support of Shang Jin. Shang Jin was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he was the one whom the civil officials all over the world wanted to curry favor with. The civil officials were all Confucian scholars, so Xiao Jing was powerful in Confucianism.

Among the nine princes, each has his own focus on power.

The eldest prince and the second prince are in full bloom, both military and civil servants are talented, the third prince Xiao Ze focuses on civil servants, the fourth prince Xiao Feng is a military officer, the fifth prince Xiao Yuan has collapsed, the sixth prince is in the local state capital, Xiao Rui and Xiao Jing Not to mention, Xiao Yan is in a force outside of the Six Divisions.

After thinking about it, Xiao Rui smiled and said: "If you hit me, I will hit you. As long as you are polite, you don't have to be afraid of anyone. But remember, you can't bully the weak!"

"The other party is fourteen years old." Polu whispered, "And when they fought, he called three people."

Xiao Rui opened his mouth and said, "So, you beat up four fourteen-year-old boys?"

Polu nodded, and said in a low voice, "It was a bit hard."

Xiao Rui laughed loudly, and said: "Good beating, no matter what his status is, I will provoke you in the future, keep beating. Nine years old beating fourteen, he deserves the beating!"

Only then did Polu secretly look up at Xiao Rui, seeing how he was smiling, a smile appeared on his nervous little face.

It's just that Xiao Rui didn't know about it, Xiao Jing had already entered the palace to file a complaint.

Seeing Emperor Xia, Xiao Jing invited Ann, and immediately sued Xiao Rui for slavery!

It turned out that the business that was injured was Shang Jin's grandson. As Shang Jin's grandson-in-law, Xiao Jing was always running to the business these days, and happened to meet his cousin who was injured. Hearing that he was still Xiao Rui's domestic slave, he immediately became furious!

It is unreasonable for a slave to study in the Yuewen Academy. If Master Meng had not personally agreed, they would not have dared to make trouble, otherwise Polu would have been expelled from the academy long ago. It is unreasonable to dare to beat people now.

"Father, King Xian is not good at controlling people, he indulges his slaves and commits crimes. Such bad behavior has seriously insulted the Holy Land of Confucianism. I implore His Majesty to punish King Xian and prohibit his slaves from entering and leaving Yuewen Academy!" Xiao Jing was filled with indignation.

Emperor Xia was reviewing the memorial, without raising his head, he said: "Okay, I understand. I will summon King Xian this afternoon. If what you said is true, I will definitely do justice for you and the injured merchant's child!"

Xiao Jing was overjoyed, and quickly Xie En withdrew.

Emperor Xia put down his pen, and said to Hai Dafu, "Go and inform that King Xian will come in this afternoon."

"Yes!" Hai Dafu took the order and was about to make arrangements.

"Wait!" Suddenly, Emperor Xia thought of something and asked, "You just said that after King Chu entered the palace, he hurried to Changchun Palace."

Hai Dafu replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, His Highness King Chu looks a little anxious, and his pace is three points faster than usual."

Emperor Xia nodded and asked curiously, "What's the big deal for him to find the queen?"

Hai Dafu didn't dare to discuss it, but he understood why Emperor Xia was curious. Because the King of Chu is cautious and understands etiquette, every time he enters the palace, he must first come to Emperor Xia to pay his respects. Regardless of whether Emperor Xia summons him or not, he will come first and then go to Changchun Palace. Today, he went to see the queen directly, which aroused Emperor Xia's curiosity.

"Your Majesty, do you need to check?" Hai Dafu asked.

Emperor Xia wanted to check it out, but the empress had only met Xiao Rui in the morning. Could it be that Xiao Yiheng was in a hurry for this matter? So Emperor Xia shook his head and said, "No need."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hai Dafu went down to make arrangements.

At this time in Changchun Palace.

Queen Zhou Xiangyun heard that her son Xiao Yiheng came in a hurry, and thought he was here to ask about the interview with Xiao Rui in the morning, but it turned out not to be!

"Mother's queen, my son and I have taken a fancy to a lady who chooses a servant, and begged my mother's help!" Since Xiao Yiheng left the palace yesterday, the girl named Ye Mei has been in his mind, and he can't get rid of it.

Even when the beautiful and charming concubine came over, Xiao Yiheng scolded her in disgust.

I don't think about other women anymore, what are you doing here! This is an insult to my fantasy! Get out now!

The princess ran away weeping resentfully.

If he hadn't known that the queen was going to see Xiao Rui in the morning, he would have come here long ago.

Zhou Xiangyun was taken aback, and immediately waved his hand to let the serving maid leave, and then asked, "What did you just say? Did you take a fancy to a female servant?"

Xiao Yiheng nodded and said, "Yes, queen mother."

"Presumptuous!" Zhou Xiangyun was furious, and shouted: "Did you not wake up, and even uttered wild words! Be careful that this word reaches His Majesty's ears, your hard work for many years will be ruined!"

Xiao Yiheng smiled and said: "Queen, don't get angry, I really like you, I have never asked you for such a thing, even if you are chosen as the wife of the princess, I will listen to you. But what I saw last night That woman really walked into Erchen's heart. Queen Mother, Erchen begs you for the first time!"

Zhou Xiangyun looked at him, was silent for a while, and asked, "Do you really like it that much?"

Xiao Yiheng nodded vigorously and said, "It's love at first sight!"

Zhou Xiangyun sighed: "But do you know that the female servants who are selected are nominally female officials, but in fact they are all talented people. They belong to your father's emperor. As a son of man, do you want to rob someone from your father?"

Xiao Yiheng said: "Mother, I naturally know, but the woman who was selected as a maid should have just entered the palace and was not favored by His Majesty, so she is not a concubine or a female official. The mother is the master of the harem, so find a reason to demote her from the palace. , it’s okay if you don’t?”

Zhou Xiangyun smiled and shook his head, and said: "It seems that my son is really in love, okay! The queen mother will help you, but only this time, this kind of thing is dancing on the cliff, once exposed, the advantages you have accumulated so hard will be gone Wucun, His Majesty will definitely hate you! I shouldn't help you, but your temper!"

Xiao Yiheng said: "Don't worry, queen mother, this is the first and last unreasonable request from my son, and I will handle this matter carefully."

"Okay!" Zhou Xiangyun nodded.

Xiao Yiheng left satisfied, and looked around when he left the palace, trying to find the woman from last night.

As soon as he left the palace, Xiao Rui received an oral order from His Majesty.
