The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 174: Possessing the same character as Wu Song

After listening to Xiao Rui's story about Fa Hai and the two snake demons, Emperor Xia suddenly asked him: "Is there anything you want to ask me after going out for a long time?"

Xiao Rui was startled, then shook his head, showing a cute smile: "No!"

Emperor Xia nodded and said, "Okay!"

After that, both of them remained silent.

Xiao Rui really wanted to ask him about his mother and concubine, but he held back, he didn't know what role his father and emperor played in it, so he asked him boldly, should he open his chatterbox, or expose him? the wound?

After experiencing so many things, Xiao Rui has learned to hide secrets. What others say may not be true, what he finds is the most true.

After being silent for a while, Xiao Rui got up to leave, but Emperor Xia didn't keep him.

Xiao Rui walked a long way away from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, when he suddenly heard a hurried female voice behind him: "His Royal Highness, Your Highness..."

Xiao Rui stopped quickly and turned his head to see that it was Yan Xiaoxiao who was chasing after him. He seemed to be running too fast, panting, his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and his pink lips opened and closed fiercely. He took a few breaths of relief before calming down.

"Why did you come after me?" Xiao Rui asked curiously.

Yan Xiaoxiao said: "I heard the rumors, and I was worried about His Highness's safety, so I didn't dare to ask other people."

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "I'm fine, don't worry. It's you, who is now on duty at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, so be careful about everything, don't say what you shouldn't say, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, protect yourself If you have any difficulties, tell me directly, don't be embarrassed."

Yan Xiaoxiao is only sixteen years old, and in Xiao Rui's eyes, she is as old as her younger sister in the previous life. This age should be the age of Jasper, accompanying her parents and enjoying the love of her elders, but she has to walk alone in this cold palace , Every step I take, I feel frightened. So Xiao Rui couldn't help but want to care about her, as a comfort to miss his own sister.

Yan Xiaoxiao could feel the concern in Xiao Rui's words, she lowered her head slightly, and nodded seriously.

"Your Highness, I sneaked out. I have to go back. I'm relieved that you are fine." Yan Xiaoxiao said.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Go back, don't be out of breath when you enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Yan Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly, and hurriedly ran back, not forgetting to look back at Xiao Rui's leaving back.

Xiao Rui left the palace and returned to the palace.

He came back on his front feet, and Shao Yao also came back on his back feet.

"Your Highness, you have found out everything you asked me to investigate." Shao Yao said.

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

But Shaoyao frowned and said: "Your Highness, Wei Guang and I are His Highness's guards. The Night King asked us to follow Your Highness before he was alive. We have sworn an oath, so naturally we will devote ourselves to it with all our strength. But I am a rough man. I will not say anything. Hold back." It hurts in my heart."

Seeing her hesitate to speak, Xiao Rui said, "It's okay, tell me, what makes you feel so uncomfortable?"

Seeing that Xiao Rui asked her to speak, Shao Yao quickly said: "Your Highness, you are young and practice martial arts, so you naturally have strong firepower, but some things are fire pits, so you can't touch them. If you are caught, it will be troublesome. If you really If you can't hold it back, you can go to Xiao Qingqing, anyway, you both have that. If it's not enough, there is Zhuge Liuying, those long legs are sure enough. If it's not enough, it's not impossible for the two of you to be together."

Xiao Rui was dumbfounded, and asked, "What and what are you talking about?"

Shao Yao sighed: "Li Xiu'er is your concubine after all, you asked me to find out where she often goes, the more private the better, doesn't that explain anything? There is no impenetrable wall in the world, once you two are caught..."

"Stop!" Xiao Rui hurriedly called a stop, and said, "Don't worry, I won't do that kind of thing. What you fantasize has nothing to do with me!"

"Really" Shao Yao doubted.

Xiao Rui was quite speechless, and shouted outside: "Wei Guang!"

Wei Guang hurried in.

Xiao Rui pointed at Shaoyao, and said: "Take your mother-in-law away quickly, don't disturb the king's rest. Then write down the things she found in detail!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Wei Guang hurried to pull Shaoyao, and when she left the house, she did not forget to persuade: "Your Highness, restraint is also a kind of exercise!"

Xiao Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he investigated the places where Li Xiu'er often went, the purpose was to wait for Zhang Yizhi to arrive in the capital, so as to facilitate his own scheme, but he didn't expect to be misunderstood by Shaoyao.

I have the quality of Wu Song, and I can always maintain a calm and unshakable emotion in the face of my sister-in-law's enthusiasm.

Soon, Wei Guang sent over the results of the peony investigation.

Xiao Rui asked him to invite Jia Xu again, and checked the information by himself.

According to the content in the newspaper, as a princess, Li Xiuer basically stayed in the palace. In her spare time, she would go to the residence of Li Mingyang, the chief minister of the cabinet, to chat with Li Ruoxue. In the recent short period of time, perhaps due to the unsatisfactory marriage, she likes to go to Jinxiu Pavilion and Jingyuan.

Jinxiu Pavilion is the property of the daughter of the imperial concubine Lin Yuer, the eldest daughter of Emperor Xia, Princess Changling. Whether it's serious or not, Xiao Rui doesn't know if he hasn't been there.

In addition, Li Xiuer also likes to go to Jingyuan recently.

In addition to the royal gardens, there are twelve major gardens in the capital, among which the landscape gardens have the best scenery. The last time the Great Yan Mission came, Xiao Rui took Yan Linglong to browse. The garden is the property of the Zhou family, and Xiao Yiheng's mother, Zhou Xiangyun, belongs to the Zhou family. It is said that this garden was built for her.

But she lived in the harem for a long time and couldn't get out, so this Jingyuan fell into Xiao Yiheng's hands. Xiao Yiheng didn't like the scenery of mountains and rivers, so he was taken care of by Li Xiuer. replaced by their own people. She was from a powerful family of the Li family. Even if she married the King of Chu, she would have a large number of maids and servants who followed her as a dowry, so it would be appropriate to place her in Jingyuan.

After a while, Jia Xu came.

Xiao Rui handed the information to him, and after he browsed it, he said: "When the person recommended by His Highness arrives, let the two meet by chance. Zhang Yizhi and Li Xiu'er must not be aware of it."

"I know Mr.'s methods, but be careful of Xiao Yiheng!" Xiao Rui reminded.

Jia Xu caressed his beard and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Highness, leave this matter to me, and I will definitely handle it seamlessly!"

Xiao Rui nodded, he was naturally relieved when Jia Xu came out.

At this time, Jia Xu mentioned another matter: "Your Highness, Hao Yun, the deputy governor of the left, came to me, and I have something to forward to Your Highness. This is his gift for meeting!"

With that said, Jia Xu took out a book from his bosom and presented it to Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui laughed, he had waited too long for this meeting ceremony, he had been urged last time, but he didn't expect to come here now.

When Xiao Rui opened the book to browse, his eyes instantly widened by three points, because the book contained a list of corrupt officials who had problems and were found by Hao Yun as evidence!

There are more than 30 officials recorded. There are only a few Beijing officials. They are a few people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The others are local officials. There are governors, magistrates, and more county magistrates.

Hao Yun is Zuodu Censor, the third person in the Metropolitan Procuratorate besides Zuodu Censor Du Shaonian and Youdu Censor, but the elderly Youdu Censor left office a year ago, so Hao Yun took charge of it temporarily. In the position of supervisory governor, the supervisory censor who inspects the various prefectures and governments finds problems with officials and will return them to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so Hao Yun left a lot of evidence and did not report to Du Shaonian.

He knew that Xiao Rui wanted to be the supervisory censor and inspect the state capitals all over the world, so he would naturally have conflicts with local officials, and this criminal evidence was a strong guarantee for Xiao Rui to subdue these officials.

Hehe, I have all the evidence of the crime in my hands, so I'm afraid they won't give in... Bah, I'm afraid they won't vote sincerely?

Xiao Rui weighed the book and said: "Don't look at Hao Yun being called a mad dog, but he is not crazy at all."

Jia Xu said with a smile: "He doesn't have any back, if he wants to secure the high seat of Zuodu Censor, he can only bite people like this, because His Majesty will protect him, so he is not stupid at all, on the contrary, he is extremely smart! Your Highness , any official who can hold an important position has the means of self-survival!"

Xiao Rui nodded approvingly, and said: "Since Mr. Hao is so sincere, please tell him, Mr. Wang Xin, that I have received his meeting gift, and this gift has been delivered to my heart."

"I understand!" Jia Xu laughed.

Xiao Rui looked at the time, and said: "Sir, are you free? Accompany me to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Polu persuaded Jian Jiuxiao, and it's time to invite them out!"

"Of course I'm free." Jia Xu nodded.

The two immediately drove to the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

Entering the prison again, Xiao Rui saw Po Lu squatting on horseback, and Jian Jiuxiao sitting by the bed, staring at him seriously. It seemed that the horse had been standing for a long time, Polu had already started to shake, his little face was flushed red, but he still clenched his teeth and persisted. It's winter, and his clothes are soaked through.

Although Jian Jiuxiao had a serious face, his eyes did not hide his appreciation and surprise at all. At the age of middle age, how could he not be tempted to meet a satisfied jade in the rough?

So on the second day of staying together, Jian Jiuxiao took Polu as his righteous grandson and prepared to teach him carefully.

Standing outside the prison, Xiao Rui asked, "Senior Jian, are you satisfied with the apprentice who sent you?"

Jian Jiuxiao nodded, and said solemnly: "Very satisfied, for the sake of His Highness's favor with me, I agreed to His Highness's request, and I happened to take Po Lu out to practice, so I went to Zhao Guo to destroy the Cao family for His Highness! "

Xiao Rui was taken aback, and said: "You want to take Polu? He is so young..."

"Small?" Jian Jiuxiao snorted coldly, and said, "When I was this old, my master had already sent me to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Swordsmanship that doesn't need to be tempered with blood will never reach the best."

Polu implored: "Your Highness, I am willing to go with Grandpa, I implore Your Highness to agree!"

Xiao Rui said: "Okay, then you can practice hard with Senior Jian, but you are not lacking in your studies. After practicing martial arts, read the books well. I will test you when you come back."

"Yes!" Polu was overjoyed and quickly responded.

Xiao Rui waved his hand, and the prison guard quickly opened the cell door.

Jian Jiuxiao told Polu to stop squatting, and then left the prison with Xiao Rui.

Unexpectedly, after walking out, Jian Jiuxiao cupped his fists and said: "The green hills will not change, Your Highness King Xian, see you later!"

Xiao Rui was taken aback, and said, "Are you going to leave now? Don't you prepare your bags and horses?"

"Experience is not travel! How to get there, you don't have to worry about it. Polu, let's go!" Jian Jiuxiao turned around and left arrogantly.

Po Lu hurriedly kowtowed to Xiao Rui and said, "Your Highness, the villain has gone!"

After speaking, Polu's eyes turned red.

Xiao Rui waved his hand and said with a smile: "Remember what I told you before, don't forget your mother's behavior of seeking fate for you regardless of dignity and life and death, remember your name, go!"

Polu nodded vigorously, and then chased after Jian Jiuxiao.
