The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 309: Start with appearance, be loyal to quality

In the middle of the night, the sky was pitch black.

The four of Xiao Rui came to the gate of the county seat on horseback, and were about to slip away first, but before the gate opened, they heard a panting voice behind them: "Seventh Young Master, Seventh Young Master..."

Xiao Rui was so frightened that he looked back and saw Hai Dafu trotting over, followed by Mu Chen and Yan Qing, holding lanterns.

"I can't run away!" Xiao Rui cursed in his heart.

Hai Dafu came to the horse and said respectfully: "Your servant pays homage to the seventh son!"

"Who are you?" Xiao Rui saw that he was wearing a fake beard, and when he was upset, he immediately lashed out.

Hai Dafu smiled obsequiously: "My servant Hai Dafu, it's dark, and the seventh son can't see clearly, it's really normal."

"No! In my impression, Eunuch Hai is a kind-faced, amiable person, unlike you, with a ferocious face, look at that unscrupulous beard that has no place to rest, can Eunuch Hai use this dream thing?" Xiao Rui Filled with righteous indignation, he shouted: "So don't insult Eunuch Hai!"

Hai Dafu opened his mouth, feeling rather helpless.

Your Highness, it's not the servants who want to stop you, it's your father, it's your father! Why are you venting your anger on the servant girl, the servant girl is already over sixty years old, please forgive me.

"Seventh Young Master, it must be the servants who made a disguise, so you didn't see it." Hai Dafu endured the bleeding in his heart, and tore off the beard on his face.

Whoops...

The stickers are so strong that it hurts to tear them off forcibly.

Xiao Rui suppressed the smile in his heart, and said with a dazed expression: "Oh, it's really Eunuch Hai, why are you here? Could it be that you have returned to your hometown because my father allowed you to leave the palace and return to your hometown?"

Hai Dafu smiled and said: "This old slave still has strength and is willing to serve His Majesty. Your Highness, Your Majesty has arrived in Yunhe County and is waiting for you at the inn."

"What? My father is here? Didn't you say that my father retreated to pray for blessings? Hai Dafu, you actually slandered my father for lying and deceiving the world, what should you do!" Xiao Rui immediately reprimanded.

The smile on Hai Dafu's face was uglier than crying, and he pleaded: "Your Highness, even if this servant has the guts to dare not slander His Majesty, if Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can ask Commander Yan Qing and Commander Mu Chen."

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "I naturally trust Commander Yan Qing and Commander Mu Chen, let's go."

Hai Dafu: …

Your Highness, my servant promises that if you say go east, this servant will never go west!

Xiao Rui followed the three of them to the inn, and saw Emperor Xia who hadn't rested yet.

"My son pays homage to my father, and I am very pleasantly surprised to meet my father here by chance. Although the Great Xia Kingdom has a vast territory, fate cannot be maintained!" Xiao Rui cupped his hands in obeisance.

Well, damn fate! Xiao Rui added a sentence in his heart.

Emperor Xia smiled and asked back: "Really? I didn't see your surprise!"

Xiao Rui said righteously: "The joy of my son comes from the heart, not limited to the face. Father, I have a treasure that I want to present to my father!"

"Oh, what treasure?" Emperor Xia asked with a smile.

Xiao Rui immediately added fuel and jealousy, and said: "My son came to Yunhe County and accidentally discovered a kind of meteorite from the sky, so he funded and mobilized the masses, worked hard, went through hardships, worked hard, and worked hard day and night... Four-character idioms are hard to describe. Six minutes of hard work, just to search for more meteoric iron and dedicate it to the father."

Emperor Xia nodded, quite relieved, and said: "I am very pleased that you can turn your head quickly, otherwise I would like to ask you, what are you going to do with such a good meteorite?"

"The son-in-law is mainly based on the foundation of the Great Xia Kingdom, and he never thought of storing it. The first thought of the son-in-law was to dedicate it to the father, to repay the father's teaching and nurturing of the son." Xiao Ruiyi The face is formal.

Emperor Xia pointed to the stool beside him, and said, "Sit down, don't talk about self-praise, since you eat a lot at night, you're prone to retching!"

Xiao Rui looks like he has no love in his life. Is there such a father? I endured my painstaking efforts to dedicate the treasure to you, so can't I praise you a few words?

"This Meteorite is a good thing. If you were to handle it, how would you use it?" Emperor Xia poured a cup of tea for Xiao Rui himself.

Xiao Rui felt terrified, thanked him quickly, and said: "Such a good meteorite, it is natural to forge weapons and armor, and then equip the best fighters. I think the iron dragon ride is the best choice! Let the iron dragon ride be the best choice!" The strongest and most valiant existence among the seven kingdoms of the Divine Land, invincible!"

Emperor Xia agreed: "Meteor iron is a scarce resource after all. It cannot be obtained through refining. It will be gone when it is used up. It must be used on the blade. Equipping iron dragonriders is indeed the best choice. I heard that you have already spent the night. Order someone to load the meteorite into the car?"

"My son wants to transport the meteorite to the capital as soon as possible, and present it to the emperor, so as not to have long nights and dreams." Xiao Rui lied in front of His Majesty, and he had already opened his mouth.

Emperor Xia said: "There is no need to transport it to the capital. Since it can be used as a powerful secret weapon for Iron Dragon Riders, then keep it a mystery. I will leave this matter to you, and then transport it to Hangzhou Mansion and hand it over to the Jin family, and let them recruit craftsmen to forge it." , this is the treasure you found with money, how could I rob you?"

Xiao Rui secretly praised himself for his wise move, offering treasures as soon as they meet, so that not only will he not be punished by His Majesty, but he can also discover filial piety, hehe, he is too talented.

"My son must forge this batch of meteorites well, and equip the Iron Dragon Riders into the best regiment!" Xiao Rui promised.

Emperor Xia nodded, brought the topic back to Dian Wei, and asked, "Where did you find the sixth-rank warrior?"

Xiao Rui didn't hide anything, and immediately told the story of his encounter with Dian Wei.

Emperor Xia was a bit apprehensive: "You just offered to help, and in exchange for the refuge of a sixth-rank warrior? And is it a loyal refuge?"

Xiao Rui nodded obediently, and said: "My son feels that one of the reasons is to help, and the other factor is the biggest reason for him to seek refuge!"

"Oh?" Emperor Xia became interested and asked, "What factor?"

Xiao Rui said sincerely: "It starts with appearance, and is loyal to quality!"

"Ahem..." Emperor Xia was choked, and Hai Dafu, who was beside him, quickly stepped forward, stroking his back and comforting him.

Xiao Rui said helplessly: "Father, is my son wrong? My son's appearance has inherited his father's handsomeness. On the surface, my son is stating his handsomeness, but in fact he is praising his father's martial arts."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Rui said again: "Father! Hai Dafu glared at my son! How dare he question Father's martial arts!"

Hai Dafu was so frightened that he almost knelt down. What made me burst into tears was because His Highness's move was so vicious.

Emperor Xia ignored Xiao Rui's nonsense, but said sincerely: "This is your opportunity. With sixth-rank masters protecting you, I don't have to worry about your safety anymore. You are enough to make nonsense, and you even have so many suspicious people to attack you. The imperial army escorted your carriage to the north, and secretly led two people south. In case of a big crisis, can only one guard protect you? What is the use of your three-legged cat's martial arts?"

"I know I was wrong!" Xiao Rui immediately admitted his mistake obediently.

Emperor Xia asked again: "Where are you planning to go after leaving Yunhe County?"

"Your servant dares to ask father where he is going?" Xiao Rui asked back.

Emperor Xia said: "Go to Fuzhou, go to Minzhong Mansion to see King Ming, I sent him to Fuzhou to govern the southernmost state of the Great Xia Kingdom, don't you know if he is on the right track? The terrain of Fuzhou is complicated and the people are suffering. It’s not easy to manage well.”

really! Xiao Rui's guess was right, Xiao Yuan is also His Majesty's son, and he is also worried about sending him so far away. This Weibo private visit, I just went to have a look.

"Oh, that's a coincidence. I have to go west. Fuzhou is managed by the fifth elder brother. I don't need to patrol. I should go west. I heard that Ganzhou is full of corrupt officials. I can't restrain the urge to punish them. !” Xiao Rui looked regretful.

Absolutely cannot pass with His Majesty! Xiao Rui is not stupid!

Who knows, Emperor Xia nodded and said: "Okay! The emperor has a heart, I am very pleased! You go to Fuzhou with me to see King Ming."

Xiao Rui: ...

Am I hallucinating?

Is it because I was deaf when I was young, but because my father is old and deaf?

I'm going to Ganzhou, I'm going to Ganzhou!

"What? You want to resist the edict?" Emperor Xia asked with a stare.

Xiao Rui was full of sorrow, but his face could only be filled with joy, he said: "This is my honor, I am naturally willing! Father, Hai Dafu stared at me again!"

So he could only vent his inner depression to Hai Dafu.

Hai Dafu endured the sadness in his heart, and he was used to it.

It was getting late, so Xiao Rui left the inn and returned to the house without disturbing His Majesty's rest.

On the second day, there were fewer and fewer meteorites to be found, so Xiao Rui asked Jin Baobao and Shen Wansan to transport the meteorites back to Hangzhou Mansion for safekeeping. At the same time, he arranged for Wu Mingshan, magistrate of Yunhe County, to continue searching for meteorites. Guo Jia also investigated Wu Mingshan. Although he had problems, they were minor problems, so Xiao Rui let him go and let him look for meteorite for himself.

Afterwards, Xiao Rui set off with Emperor Xia, and the group headed towards Fuzhou.

In the carriage, Xiao Rui chatted with His Majesty, talking freely all over the world. Basically, Emperor Xia was talking and Xiao Rui was listening. After all, Xiao Rui had never left the capital and had little knowledge.

You can't let Xiao Rui talk to him about what you have seen in the previous life. Although you can make His Majesty stunned for a while, you still have to work hard to explain the truth, which is too tiring.

Hurrying is boring and tedious, not to mention accompanying you like a tiger, Xiao Rui can't feel the fun, but Li Yuanfang and Dianwei are happy, they can still compete with Yan Qing, Mu Chen and that lonely Qinglian swordsman while driving , It's so cool to them.

Finally, the group came to Taishun County, the southernmost county in Hangzhou.

Further south, it enters the territory of Fuzhou.

The farther south you go, you can see mountains and mountains at a glance. Xiao Rui looked at the mountains and estimated that they are all within 1 meter, and because many mountains affect the traffic, the traffic is inconvenient and not conducive to economic development. The people can only Pian An corner, stick to one place.

Although the imperial court also specially built official roads, it has been in disrepair for such a long time.

"Father, if you want to get rich, build roads first. Fuzhou is located in the south of the Great Xia Kingdom. Although it is a remote place, because it only depends on the Great Yan Kingdom, the military aspect is more important. Look at this official road. It's muddy, it really needs to be repaired." Xiao Rui said.

Emperor Xia laughed and said: "Fuzhou is too far away from the capital, so there is almost no sense of existence. The Ministry of Households is unwilling to allocate money, and the Ministry of Industry cannot repair it. Even if the Ministry of Households allocates money, after layers of exploitation, how much money is left? ? If the local government is allowed to repair it, Fuzhou’s finances will not be able to afford it. But what you said is very insightful. If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Roads are the key to communication. If you are asked to solve the problem, do you have a good idea?”

here we go again! Xiao Rui secretly rolled his eyes, how many times His Majesty has questioned himself along the way, big and small matters, from human behavior, to local benevolent governance, to national affairs, all the questions that can be used to test have to be gone through.

Xiao Rui regretted it very much, why did he go with His Majesty, if he resisted the decree, he resisted the decree, he couldn't kill himself, now he is fine, even if he broke his teeth, he had to swallow it in his stomach!

If the other princes knew Xiao Rui's thoughts, they would probably want to beat him to death. What a treat to be able to accompany His Majesty!

The battle for the crown prince is not just about winning the position in His Majesty's heart, whoever he likes can become the crown prince, this is a golden opportunity, Xiao Rui is definitely a hypocritical and obedient man who got cheap!
