The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 175: The First Prince Out

As soon as the sun sets and rises, it is the next day.

It has been a whole day since yesterday morning, and His Majesty has not yet had a high fever, causing the people in the capital to talk about it. Could it be that the rumors about the calamity are false? The King Xian is not a calamity. No?

I bought this snack for nothing, so it’s no longer a show?

Not only the common people, but even the civil and military officials were puzzled, hoping in their hearts why His Majesty is still not sick?

If Emperor Xia had a monitoring system and could hear the voices of civil and military officials, he wondered if he would be outraged and pull out all these duplicitous bastards and chop them up.

Not only that, but the prince also slandered in his heart, harboring expectations that could not be expressed to others.

In the afternoon and evening, Fifth Prince Xiao Yuan entered the palace to face the saint. Not long after he entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Xia smelled a fragrance. Because before he got a fever last time, he seemed to smell this fragrance too.

Because there is alertness, it will be noticed.

Emperor Xia remained calm and continued to chat with Xiao Yuan. He entered the palace to intercede for Duke Qi. After Duke Qi was demoted back to his hometown, he fell ill because of the downfall of the Han family. Xiao Yuan was worried about his grandfather's health, so he came here to intercede with His Majesty, begging His Majesty to allow Duke Qi to enter Beijing recuperate.

Emperor Xia praised his filial piety, but did not agree directly.

At night, the concubine Ling asked to see her, and she came to deliver hot porridge, but the main purpose was also to intercede for her father, Duke Qi.

Looking at the hot porridge on the dragon table, it was just like the blood-enriching and Qi-enriching porridge cooked by the imperial physician in the royal dining room before the febrile disease. Emperor Xia didn't drink it, and gave the hot porridge to Hai Dafu after the imperial concubine returned.

Hai Dafu didn't hesitate and finished the bowl of hot porridge.

Early the next morning, early morning.

When the civil and military officials arrived in front of the Meridian Gate, they heard that the imperial doctor was urgently called in the palace last night, and that someone had a fever again! Although it was not stated clearly that it was His Majesty, who else would it be?

Several princes gathered together to talk.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, our good seventh brother is really a disaster!" Xiao Yuan couldn't help gloating.

"It's a waste of my father's love for him, to hurt my father's dragon body so much, and I don't know the general situation at all! After the meeting, I must kill my relatives righteously, and I can't let the seventh brother hurt my father again!" Xiao Ming was angry. road.

Xiao Yan yelled: "Impossible! Seventh brother is definitely not a disaster star, there must be something wrong!"

Xiao Jing comforted: "Ninth Brother, we all know that you and Seventh Brother have a good relationship, but now it is hard evidence, no one has wronged him! He was in the capital, and his father was sick. If he is not here, the illness will be cured. Now Once you come back, you get sick again, doesn’t that explain anything? Don’t you have the heart to let the royal father stay away from the fever and put state affairs aside?”

Xiao Yan shouted: "It may be other issues, if Brother Seven is wronged without any obvious evidence, how will he return to the capital in the future?"

Xiao Yiheng patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, and said: "Ninth Brother, isn't Seventh Brother's wish to leave the capital? This is also good for him, go out and see the world. Don't worry, we brothers will not make trouble , when the time comes, I implore the emperor to give him the position of governor, herding a state, coupled with his status as a salty king, he will never be bullied, and he will be at ease, unlike us!"

"Anyway, I don't believe it!" Xiao Yan said forcefully, "How can Father really punish Seventh Brother, I will definitely fight for it!"

The princes all laughed, King Xian is doomed, no matter how hard you argue, what waves can you make?

Xiao Rui arrived late.

He naturally also heard the news, and through the relationship of Commander Zhuge, he learned that Xiao Yiheng did not enter the palace yesterday, but Xiao Yuan entered the palace.

Xiao Rui felt a little regretful, Xiao Yiheng was indeed cautious and careful, the first time he might have done it himself, but the second time he absolutely did not take any risks, stayed out of the matter, and did not suffer from the slightest cause and effect. It is indeed not easy to deal with him.

When he came to Meridian Gate, Xiao Rui was like an insulator, civil and military officials were far away from him, it was Xiao Yan who saw him coming, hurried forward, worried: "Seventh brother..."

Xiao Rui stopped him from comforting him, and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiu, do you believe in the sayings about disaster stars and killer stars?"

"Of course I don't believe it!" Xiao Rui said immediately.

Xiao Rui whispered: "You are so stupefied that you don't believe it, do you think our father will believe the calamity star's words that hurt Ziwei Emperor Star?"

"But the recurring fever seems to have something to do with you!" Xiao Yan said.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's just the beginning, you don't have to do anything, just watch quietly."

With the sound of drums, civil and military officials entered the hall.

When Emperor Xia entered the palace and sat on the dragon chair, Eunuch Zhang, the second person in charge of ceremonies beside him, sang loudly: "Play early if there is something to do, and retreat to the court if there is nothing to do!"

At this time, all civil and military officials and the prince were not curious about where Hai Dafu had gone, because they only cared about the next good show.

Shang Jin, a scholar of the Cabinet and Minister of the Ministry of Officials, came out first and asked: "Your Majesty, I heard that the imperial doctor was urgently called in the palace last night. Could it be that Your Majesty is not feeling well?"

Emperor Xia laughed and said, "It's a small matter that the business scholars are worried about. Someone has a fever, so they urgently called the imperial doctor."

"Your Majesty's fever has relapsed?" Shang Jin was surprised, and then showed regret: "It seems that the prophecy has come true!"

Zhou Mingwen, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, also came out and said: "Your Majesty, in the morning court the day before yesterday, King Xian made an oath on the Golden Palace that if His Majesty catches a fever again, it will prove that he is a disaster star. Now the fact has come true, and I implore Your Majesty to rule!"

"I implore Your Majesty to rule!" A large number of civil servants and military generals came forward to ask for an order.

The princes did not let go of this opportunity, Ming Wang Xiao Yuan was filled with righteous indignation, and said: "Your Majesty, my ministers seconded this! For the sake of His Majesty's dragon body, we must not hesitate to tolerate it!"

"I implore Your Majesty to hold King Xian accountable!" Xiao Ming shouted.

Xiao Yiheng glanced at Xiao Rui, saw his calm face, and laughed in his heart. Just when he was about to step out of the queue, he also stepped in. Suddenly, he noticed Emperor Xia's calm expression.

No, there is something wrong!

Xiao Yiheng suddenly felt that there was a problem, and his cautious character made his feet stop there.

Xiao Yan remembered what Xiao Rui said in front of the Meridian Gate, so he didn't stand up to speak for Xiao Rui. Besides him, the third prince Xiao Ze also remained silent.

At this time, Emperor Xia finally opened his mouth and asked: "I am very pleased that all the ministers and princes care about me. Where is King Xian?"

Only then did Xiao Rui step forward leisurely, stood in the hall, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty!"

Emperor Xia said: "Do you have anything else to say?"

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "I have nothing to say, the facts are in front of me, and the facts speak louder than words!"

This attitude immediately angered everyone, Xiao Yuan said angrily: "Your Majesty, King Xian has no sense of shame, causing His Majesty to contract a fever again, yet he can still laugh?"

"That's right! His Royal Highness Xian's rude behavior is really detrimental to the noble status of the prince!"

"I implore Your Majesty to punish him severely!"

"The humble minister seconded the proposal!"

...

When discussions were raging again, Emperor Xia suddenly raised his voice and asked, "Who said that I have a fever again?"

In an instant, the Golden Palace was silent, and everyone stared at each other with wide-eyed eyes.

Emperor Xia continued: "Last night, Hai Dafu suffered from a fever. He has served me for many years. I saw that he had worked hard and made great achievements, so I asked the imperial doctor to treat him. I didn't expect his symptoms to be exactly the same as mine. I just took this opportunity to ask Manchu Wenwu, is it possible that Hai Dafu is also the Emperor Ziwei Star, and he also suffered from fever after being injured by the Calamity Star and the Killing Star?"

His voice was indifferent because of his calmness, and he was even more serious when he said the last word.

So the civil and military officials who impeached Xiao Rui were stunned, with cold sweat on their foreheads.

Emperor Xia got up and shouted: "The fever I contracted is not caused by any calamity at all, nor is it a disease! Then, dear princes and princes, can you guess where the disease I contracted came from?"

It's not a natural disaster, it's not a disease, it's a man-made disaster...

In an instant, the cultural relics officials knelt there, even breathing cautiously.

If it is really a man-made disaster, it is someone who intends to murder. Who can bear this crime? Those who punish the Jiu Clan... Then, these people accuse King Xian of harming them, are they related to the people who framed them?

At this moment, they felt the bone-chilling cold wind blowing into their bones.

Several princes also had their hearts pounding, especially Xiao Yiheng. While panicking, he secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he was cautious, otherwise not only would he not be able to mess with Xiao Rui this time, but he would sit in by himself!

The hall was full of civil and martial arts, only Xiao Rui stood alone.

Emperor Xia said again: "Since you and the princes can't guess the cause of the fever, then so be it, and I won't pursue it."

Xiao Rui was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Emperor Xia would not pursue responsibility, but Emperor Xia suddenly said: "Li Shoufu!"

"The minister is here!" Li Mingyang was taken aback, and quickly responded.

Xia Huangdao: "After the early dynasty, a decree was drawn up to promote Ming Wang Xiao Yuan as Chaozhou Governor!"

The current Xiao Yuan is a rank-5 official, and he will be directly promoted to rank-3 governor, which is definitely a promotion.

However, as soon as these words came out, the hall was filled with silence, even more deadly than just now.

Xiao Yuan was dumbfounded, and then fell into endless panic, even fear. Even if his grandfather's Han family was defeated, he would not have such fear, but now because of an appointment by His Majesty, he felt a suffocating abyss!

"Your Majesty, I was deceived by others to accuse King Xian, and not only my ministers, but also other civil and military ministers wronged King Xian!" Xiao Yuan begged, he still didn't know why His Majesty punished him!

Emperor Xia said: "Think about it! I came here this morning, let's retreat!"

After finishing speaking, Emperor Xia turned around and went down the dragon steps to leave.

All civil and military officials sent off His Majesty respectfully, then got up and hurriedly left the Golden Palace, only Xiao Yuan was left standing there in a daze, just like the scene when the Han family was defeated.

Xiao Yiheng left the Golden Palace without showing any signs of expression, and when the cold wind blew outside, he realized that his back was covered in cold sweat. Coincidentally, Xiao Rui passed by him.

"Second brother, what's wrong?" Xiao Rui asked intentionally.

Xiao Yiheng looked at Xiao Rui, suddenly showed a smile, and said: "So it's the seventh brother, and the seventh brother is safe and sound, so there must be future blessings. But I didn't expect... Ming Wang, hey... Self-inflicted evil, father is very kind to him..."

"Yeah, could it be that he was wronged just by looking at Fifth Brother's expression? Is there something tricky about it?" Xiao Rui asked intentionally.

Xiao Yiheng smiled, did not speak, quickened his pace a little, and quickly left the palace.

Xiao Rui turned his head, looked at Xiao Yuan who was kneeling in the golden palace, and knew in his heart that if he didn't work hard, he would become like him!
