The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 173: Come on, attack me! (Part 3)

When the rooster crowed before dawn, Xiao Rui got up and dressed himself! I didn't let the two delicate maids torture me in every possible way, pulling me up from the warm bed, and I didn't let them blush while dressing and wearing jade belts, it's just so good!

Why are you so excited, because someone will attack you again this morning.

Tell me, is it easy for you as a powerless prince? Being besieged by this group of Xiao Xiaoxiao all day, but still can't beat me, every time I win by myself, I can't be angry.

Could it be that he is so talented, witty, and handsome?

Xiao Rui thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come back to himself until he arrived at the Meridian Gate.

After getting off the carriage, in front of the Meridian Gate are all civil and military officials holding lanterns and standing in the bitter cold wind. Maybe it was too dark, but Xiao Rui's appearance did not attract too many people's attention.

When the drum sounded, the civil and military officials entered the palace in an orderly manner, and when they came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the lights around them illuminated everyone's faces.

Several princes looked sideways and looked at Xiao Rui. Although they didn't speak, their expressions represented their hearts.

The eldest prince Xiao Lie frowned, he must not be worried for himself, could it be that he had a bad stomach early?

The corner of the second prince Xiao Yiheng's raised mouth had already written gloating on his face.

The third prince Xiao Ze gave Xiao Rui a self-seeking expression.

The fourth prince Xiao Feng opened his tiger eyes, looked at the other princes, then at Xiao Rui, and gave him a smile that I understand, don't think I don't understand.

As for the fifth prince, Xiao Yuan, well, the gaze on Xiao Rui has always been full of hatred and bitterness, as if unwilling to be worse than the worst prince ever, this is a very painful realization.

As for the sixth prince Xiao Ming and the eighth prince Xiao Jing, they looked optimistic about the show.

Xiao Yan, the last Ninth Prince, I'll go, this guy actually glared at Xiao Rui!

Didn't it mean that I didn't bring you crabs and whitebaits? Is there any need to hold a grudge?

After all, they are brothers!

So Xiao Rui took out a small notebook from his bosom, took note of Xiao Yan's attitude as a matter of course, and prepared to read him a book when he was about to pay his respects in the morning.

With the sound of left and right drums on the Meridian Gate, all civil and military officials entered the hall and went to court.

The servants and eunuchs sang and drank, Emperor Xia entered the palace, followed by Hai Dafu: "Play early if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do", the morning court officially started.

Emperor Xia glanced at the officials, and also noticed Xiao Rui who was the censor in front of the palace.

It stands to reason that when Xiao Rui returned to Beijing yesterday, he should hastily entered the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. After all, he went out to ask the doctor to pray for His Majesty. Why did he go to his palace to sleep after returning?

Emperor Xia naturally knew about Xiao Rui's Xiao Jiujiu, this kid deliberately didn't enter the palace, just to give other people an excuse, so that they would attack in groups, so that he could fight back one by one, and he would use his tricks by the way.

Sure enough, following Emperor Xia's question: "Which minister has a book to play?"

Zhou Mingwen, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, came out. He was Xiao Yiheng's uncle, so he was naturally a pawn.

"Your Majesty, I have a book to play!" Zhou Mingwen said.

Emperor Xia asked, "What did Aiqing say?"

Zhou Mingwen said: "Your Majesty! When I heard that His Majesty was suffering from fever, His Highness King Xian was filial and honest, and went to Pudu Temple to ask a doctor to pray for His Majesty. However, His Highness Xian returned to Beijing yesterday. Not entering the palace? Could it be that His Royal Highness King Xian deliberately deceived His Majesty by not going to Pudu Temple at all? Moreover, I also heard that when King Xian returned to Beijing, there was no so-called genius doctor by his side! Your Majesty, King Xian is a prince, if he is in Filial piety is pretentious, what is the place for Da Xia Lunchang? How to set an example and convince the people?"

Emperor Xia nodded and said, "King Xian, since Master Zhou is questioning you, why don't you come out and explain one or two things?"

Xiao Rui stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou is really conscientious. He even helped with the work of Dongchang. He knows exactly when this son-in-law came to Beijing and whether he brought anyone with him. I thought Dongchang was a subordinate of his family."

These words made Zhou Mingwen's face change drastically.

Xiao Rui continued: "My lord Zhou's accusation of my minister is pure fallacy. After my minister entered Beijing, I heard that His Majesty's fever had recovered. Now that I have recovered, my minister naturally does not need to enter the palace, because entering the palace will show my filial piety even more. Impure, it is for others to see. Your majesty recovers, and the ministers feel relieved, so naturally they don’t need to enter the palace, disturbing the rest of the father, is it filial piety?”

Zhou Mingwen said angrily: "Your Highness, King Xian, who should cause your majesty's fever? Doesn't your highness know? Why do you retreat? Does your highness not understand?"

"Hey, I really don't know!" Xiao Rui laughed.

Zhou Mingwen blew his nose and stared, and told Emperor Xia: "Your Majesty, at first there were rumors in the capital that His Majesty's fever was caused by King Xian, because according to Qin Tianjian Zhao Jianzheng's speculation, King Xian was the disaster! Originally, the rumors stopped at Wise man, but when His Highness King Xian left the capital, His Majesty’s fever was cured, so not only the humble ministers, but also the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty are all guessing, so the rumors are true?”

Lin Yifeng, Minister of Honglu Temple, also came out and said: "Your Majesty, what Master Zhou said is reasonable. I didn't believe the rumors at first, but His Royal Highness King Xian left the capital and stayed away from His Majesty. Naturally, the fever recovered. This proves that Qin Master Zhao’s statement is true, His Royal Highness King Xian is a disaster star!”

Zhou Mingfa, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, seconded the proposal: "My minister seconded the proposal. The theory of astrology is extensive and profound. Your Majesty, you have to be cautious about this matter. For the sake of the foundation of the Great Xia, let Your Majesty make a decision early!"

Subsequently, hundreds of civil and military officials came out to second the proposal.

What Xiao Rui didn't expect was that Shang Jin, a cabinet scholar, the minister of the official department, also came out and said: "Your Majesty, although I don't believe in the theory of disaster stars, there are a lot of discussions in the capital now, lest the disaster stars will cause disasters." Daxia Jiye even hurt His Majesty's dragon body again. In order to protect the health of His Majesty's dragon body, I also suggested that King Xian should leave Beijing for a few months first?"

It seems that the eighth prince, Xiao Jing, became his grandson-in-law, which also made this business scholar stand in line.

At this time, Emperor Xia nodded and said: "Your loves are right, so, King Xian, what else do you have to say?"

Xiao Rui cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, why do you adults wrongly accuse me of being a disaster, but don't think it is the reason for me to pray for blessings? The heaven saw my sincerity, and naturally sent a gift to make your majesty's fever heal naturally! These adults insist on accusing the ministers of misfortune, what is their intention? Could it be that driving the ministers out of the capital will benefit all the adults?"

As soon as this remark came out, the officials were angry.

"Your Majesty, King Xian is trying to force his words and speak eloquently!"

"Your Majesty, please be enlightened! His Majesty's fever has recovered before King Xian arrived at Pudu Temple. How could it be the reason for him to pray for blessings?"

"That's right! Wei Chen and the others are all concerned about Daxia, for Daxia's stability, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, King Xian is slandering us!"

...

Xiao Rui smiled and looked at the angry ministers, and then glanced at Emperor Xia, good guy, his father was expressionless, it turned out that he was the best actor in the first Golden Statue Awards of Great Xia Kingdom.

With the counterattack of the ministers, the princes finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Xiao Yuan was the first to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that what the ministers said is reasonable. King Xian just left the capital, and His Majesty's fever was cured, which coincided with the prophecy spread. For the stability of Great Xia, I also hope that Your Majesty will learn from you, and I also ask King Xian to have self-knowledge!"

Xiao Yiheng stepped out slowly, and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that your lords are reasonable, and it is not easy to refute what King Xian said. Since the prophecy said that His Majesty will be infected with fever due to disaster stars and killing stars, then King Xian will return to Beijing now." Now, if the prophecy is true and he is a disaster, then His Majesty will still suffer from fever!"

Xiao Rui immediately asked: "What the King of Chu said is very true, so what if His Majesty does not suffer from fever?"

Xiao Yiheng said: "The natural prophecy is just a rumor. Your Majesty's fever has nothing to do with you, so you are not a disaster!"

Just wait for your words!

Xiao Rui narrowed his eyes, he deliberately provoked the officials to attack, just for this sentence, Xiao Yiheng must continue to use medicine in order to bring him down. He wants to see if your father will find out when you take the medicine this time! Dare to poison your own father, hmph, even if you are born of a queen and have a noble status, no one will dare to protect you!

Xiao Rui immediately bowed to Emperor Xia and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that King Chu's method is very good. If Your Majesty is in good health and doesn't suffer from fever again, it means that the disaster is not my minister. And if I suffer from fever again, I am willing to be punished!" "

Emperor Xia nodded, he understood Xiao Rui's thoughts, since he wanted to find out the person who poisoned him, Emperor Xia would naturally not refuse: "Okay, then it will be limited to five days, dear friends and princes, what do you think?" how?"

"Your Majesty is holy!"

"Your Majesty is holy!"

The ministers and the prince naturally had no objection.

Afterwards, the morning court returned to normal, but it was just a few things, so he withdrew from the court.

After the court, Xiao Rui went to pay his respects, the other princes saw that Xiao Rui had gone, they all turned around and left the palace, unwilling to pay their respects with Xiao Rui. Xiao Rui happened to be happy and quiet.

When they arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, an accompanying eunuch was already waiting, leading Xiao Rui into the hall.

After entering the hall, Xiao Rui just wanted to bow his hands to salute, when Emperor Xia waved his hands and said: "Excuse me, sit down!"

Xiao Rui found a seat and sat down. Yan Xiaoxiao brought tea, and when she put down the teacup, her bright eyes never moved away from Xiao Rui, but she lowered her head slightly so that Xiao Rui didn't notice. All the attention was on Emperor Xia.

"Is the scenery of Pudu Temple okay?" Emperor Xia asked without raising his head as he reviewed the memorial.

How could Xiao Rui dare to tell the truth, "I am worried about my father's condition, and I am in a hurry, so I don't care about the scenery!"

Emperor Xia smiled and said, "Really? It takes one and a half days to go back and forth from the capital to Pudu Temple. You went for four days this time. Could it be that the horse had diarrhea halfway?"

"Oh! Father is really a god! You can guess all of this!" Xiao Rui was overjoyed, his father had already figured out an excuse for him, even though it was terrible.

Emperor Xia was so angry that he threw the brush on the pen stand, finally raised his head, and said angrily, "Are you lying to me?"

Xiao Rui immediately confessed, saying: "Whatever your Majesty says, it is what it is!"

Emperor Xia pointed at him and said, "You, forget it, it's useless to scold you. Apart from the scenery, did you meet any interesting people and things this time?"

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "I met you."

Emperor Xia looked at him and asked, "Oh? Let's hear it!"

Xiao Rui hurriedly introduced: "I met a mad woman who said she was the reincarnation of the poison fairy, and she insisted on teaching me the Supreme Poison Sutra. Oh, there is also an old monk who claims to be Fahai and says that he is in Danyang Lake. Suppressing two demonic snakes, one white and one green, it is a pity that his lifespan has expired, and he has returned west. I don’t know if the two snake demons have escaped..."

Emperor Xia listened quietly to his narration, even though he knew that he was talking nonsense with his eyes open, he was still very relieved in his heart.
