The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 185: This is the first time this son-in-law has lied!

Xiao Rui stayed in Yangzhou City for six days before leaving here.

Li Jianwen was dead, Li Tang couldn't catch the murderer, and the hatred was transferred to Chu Wang Xiao Yiheng. Naturally, he couldn't continue to block the city gates.

The time has passed Laba, and I believe that the champion Hou has also returned to Beijing, so Xiao Rui's heart was very turbulent on the way back to Beijing, and he didn't know what ups and downs he would face ahead.

It's easy to marry long legs.

Without a word all the way, he returned to the capital.

First of all, Xiao Rui entered the palace to pay his respects. After going out for seven days, he promised Emperor Xia that he would come back within five days. He didn't have time to delay for two more days, and he didn't know how his father would reprimand him.

When I came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to seek an audience, after the eunuch informed me, I came out and said respectfully: "Your Highness, Your Majesty asked you to move to the hall and wait for a while."

"Okay!" Xiao Rui nodded. It seemed that Emperor Xia had important matters to deal with and he couldn't disturb him, so he moved to the side hall, but he didn't expect that Yan Xiaoxiao was also in the side hall.

Yan Xiaoxiao didn't expect Xiao Rui to return to Beijing, and immediately asked pleasantly: "Your Highness, are you back?"

Xiao Rui applied to Emperor Xia to leave the capital. Apart from the people around him, Xia Huang, Hai Dafu and Yan Xiaoxiao knew about it. Ever since Yan Xiaoxiao served as a writer and selection servant in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she has grown rapidly during this period of time, her mental quality has improved, her demeanor has even become calm, and she has a maturity that does not belong to her age.

"Just after I came back, I rushed into the palace. By the way, who did my father summon?" Xiao Rui asked.

Yan Xiaoxiao looked around, but there was no one else in the hall, so she didn't hide anything, and said: "I summoned a few cabinet scholars to discuss the matter of the imperial examination in the spring of next year. Your majesty wants to finalize the chief examiner of the imperial examination! And your majesty proposed that among the eight Choose one of the princes to serve as the accompanying prison to show the importance we attach to this civil and military examination."

Xiao Rui nodded, this errand of accompanying the prison is very sweet, I believe that the princes will try their best to fight for it, so should I fight for it?

Yan Xiaoxiao saw him lost in thought, and asked, "Your Highness also wants to serve as an accompanying prison?"

Xiao Rui came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Who will be the prisoner depends on His Majesty's wishes. Although I also want to get this job, after thinking about it, I feel that this job is easy to be attacked. I am weak, so I should not go against the wind and waves. "

Feeling Xiao Rui's gaze, Yan Xiaoxiao felt a little shy in her heart, then lowered her eyebrows and said softly, "I believe His Highness is the best!"

Xiao Rui smiled heartily: "Haha...I would like to borrow your good words."

At this moment, Emperor Xia walked in.

"It seems that some people have a lot of fun when they go out, and their laughter is so pleasant." Emperor Xia joked.

Xiao Rui hurriedly turned around and respectfully said: "My son Xiao Rui pays homage to Father Emperor."

"Meet Your Majesty." Yan Xiaoxiao hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Emperor Xia pointed to the location, told Xiao Rui to sit down, then waved his hand, Yan Xiaoxiao immediately went down to prepare tea.

"Just returned to Beijing?" Emperor Xia asked.

Xiao Rui said: "Yes, father."

Emperor Xia sized him up and asked, "How did I hear that the son of Li Tang, the governor of Yangzhou, was hanged on the west gate?"

"Oh, I have also heard about this. This man is a great villain in Yangzhou. When he died, the common people were overjoyed. If they were not afraid of Li Tang, they would have been singing and dancing. Oh, my father has not seen the enthusiasm of the common people. Yang Yi, I really don't know who is the hero who wiped out the cancer for the people of Yangzhou City." Xiao Rui said.

Emperor Xia asked: "So, it has nothing to do with you?"

Xiao Rui got up quickly and said in panic: "Father, how dare I violate the laws of the court and commit suicide privately? I will never do this, of course it doesn't matter!"

Emperor Xia seemed to agree with Xiao Rui's words, and said: "Yes, you will never do this! But you can instruct others, Zhuge Yuanba returned to Beijing in advance, and he has already hanged Li Jianwen himself. reported to me."

"Ahem..." Xiao Rui coughed violently.

Fuck, is Zhuge Yuanba a fool?

Immediately after returning to Beijing, I surrendered myself. I was still acting, but my father exposed me on the spot. How embarrassing.

Where do I put my face, my incomparably handsome face!

"I know I was wrong. It's because I'm obsessed with ghosts. Please forgive me for the first time I lied." Xiao Rui immediately begged for mercy.

Xia Huang said happily, "This is the first time you've lied?"

"Yes, how dare my son lie to my father, that is the crime of deceiving the emperor. Today is the first and last time. In fact, my son is not a liar. After all, it was Zhuge Yuanba who killed me, and my son is at most a cover-up. Now that my son is willing to take the blame and perform meritorious service and expose Zhuge Yuanba's murder, father, is there still time?" Xiao Rui asked.

Emperor Xia laughed and scolded: "Zhuge Yuanba's words are all praises for you, but you are so lucky that you want to expose him? Is this a kind of revenge?"

"I only know how to be frank and lenient in front of my father, and never cover up anyone who breaks the law! Zhuge Yuanba is not praising me, but just stating my character, and my excellence cannot be concealed." Xiao Ruiyi Right words.

Emperor Xia nodded and said: "You are so shameless, I am relieved."

Xiao Rui breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Emperor Xia did not intend to pursue this matter.

In fact, it is understandable for Zhuge Yuanba to explain what he did to Emperor Xia. He is loyal to Emperor Xia, and he will even be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, so he will not hide what he has done. Gained the trust of Emperor Xia. In addition, Emperor Xia sent him to Yangzhou with Xiao Rui, one for protection and another for surveillance.

Xiao Rui didn't think of hiding it from Emperor Xia, but he didn't think that Zhuge Yuanba was really a mother-in-law's mouth, so sloppy.

"Actually, in the whole world, no matter how strict the law is, there are still fish that slip through the net. Li Tang's son is like this, so is Li Mingyang, and there are more powerful people who don't respect the law." Emperor Xia said with emotion.

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "When will the prince break the law and commit the same crime as the common people, then the law will truly rule the world!"

"The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people? It's difficult, how difficult it is." Xia Huang murmured, then shook his head and said: "I am very pleased that you have this insight. I will not pursue you for the matter of Yangzhou City."

Xiao Rui couldn't help but asked: "That...Father, what kind of bad things did Zhuge Yuanba say about my son?"

I'm really worried that Zhuge Yuanba, who is honest and upright, will expose all the things that Xiao Rui asked him to go to Jiangduwei, then stop being friends from now on, and when Yuanfang recovers from his injury, he must be punished.

"Could it be that you have done other bad things?" Emperor Xia asked with a stare.

Xiao Rui couldn't tell the truth from Emperor Xia's expression, since Emperor Xia didn't mention it, then Xiao Rui assumed he didn't know.

"Of course I didn't do anything bad, I'm just afraid that Zhuge Yuanba would slander my minister." Xiao Rui immediately framed Zhuge Yuanba.

Emperor Xia pointed at him, and said with a smile: "If Champion Hou listens to your words, he will definitely reject this marriage. Yesterday Champion Hou returned to Beijing to report on his duties. I summoned him and talked about your marriage before leaving. Champion Hou has a lot of opinions. He is my minister and guards the north. I have to consider his feelings. Originally, I promised you last time, and I will give you a marriage, but you still have to deal with the champion, the champion. If you agree to such a marriage, I will truly grant the marriage. Work hard."

Xiao Rui was depressed, and asked: "Father, can you even make the decree yourself? Is it possible that the champion will resist the decree?"

Emperor Xia smiled and said: "Resisting the decree is not going to resist the decree, but do you want your father-in-law to complain to you? Don't be afraid, get along well with the champion, that guy is easy to get along with, he knows how to measure, he won't kill you."

"Kill me? Father, what do you mean by that? Could it be that your life is in danger?" Xiao Rui was surprised and asked quickly.

Xia Huangdao: "Don't worry, the champion Hou Suizhen and King Ruyang fought on the battlefield back then. From a young boy to the prestige of being the champion of the three armies, his short-tempered temper has improved a lot. If you suffer, You don’t need to enter the palace to tell me, I must be very busy these days, so I will save you from entering the palace to pay my respects, and when you conquer the champion, you will enter the palace again.”

After finishing speaking, Emperor Xia got up, patted his buttocks and fled.

Only Xiao Rui was left with a gloomy face, and he was even more worried about how to face the champion. Could it be that it is really a dragon's pond and a tiger's den?

Entering the palace happily, returned to the palace in fear.

Jia Xu had already arranged for Li Yuanfang to stay, and he was extremely happy that his lord had recruited another master, but seeing Xiao Rui's expression turned pale, he asked, "Your Highness, what's the matter?"

Xiao Rui said: "It's okay, I'm just thinking about how to have a pleasant exchange with Champion Hou. By the way, how are Zhang Yizhi and Li Xiuer doing?"

Jia Xu said with a smile: "In the first two days, I personally escorted Zhang Yizhi to Chu Palace, but Li Xiuer was afraid of gossip, so she let Zhang Yizhi live in the Jingyuan. It happened that there were many musicians in the Jingyuan, which was just right. The personal servant girl has learned about the daily contact activities of these two people, and they have been discussing music together these days, and they are already very familiar with each other."

"Is there any further contact?" Xiao Rui asked quickly.

Jia Xu laughed and said, "Li Xiu'er was born as a lady after all. Although she was attracted by Zhang Yizhi's talent, she hadn't surpassed it. However, Zhang Yizhi performed well and his words gradually became bolder. Wait a while."

"Okay!" Xiao Rui clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Trouble, you must make the two of them stick together like glue, and reach the state where the mountains have no edge, and the sky and the earth are in harmony. This is used to deal with Xiao Yiheng, so that he can realize that love is a ray of light, so green to people." The pain of panic. Of course, the confidentiality work must be done well, and Xiao Yiheng must not be aware of it! Otherwise, all previous efforts will be wasted!"

Jia Xu nodded and said: "If it was in the Prince Chu's mansion, the relationship between the two would not be able to advance by leaps and bounds, but fortunately in Jingyuan, there are not so many people watching. I have bought a lot of Jingyuan's servants, and found that Xiao Yiheng is really very fond of Li Xiuer. Indifferent, she didn't put a confidant around her at all. Xiao Yiheng is a man of culture and martial arts, but he didn't expect that there would be omissions in this aspect, as expected, no one is perfect."

Xiao Rui nodded, it's common to neglect a wife, but it's also commonplace.

Have you considered how it feels to be single?

Faced with Li Xiuer's express and hints to him at the beginning, Xiao Rui had the quality of Wu Song, so he gave such a good opportunity to Zhang Yizhi, otherwise he would have been dragged out and killed.

I really am a person of noble character.
