The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 368: Your Highness, let's see if my daughter is beautiful

It was a sunny day, and the warmth in the wind had not completely faded, but it was also mixed with the cold wind of winter.

The bustling street was crowded with people, and someone shouted: "His Royal Highness King Xian is back! Enter the city through Shuixi Gate immediately! Hurry up and watch! Watch!"

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a violent reaction.

Some women and children excitedly said: "Your Highness has returned from studying the scriptures?"

"His Royal Highness is finally back!"

"Holy monk, holy monk!"

"I've always heard about His Highness's name. It's rumored that he is a rare man in the world. I want to see it too!"

...

Just like that, the people on the street turned into star chasers, and a large number of people rushed towards Shuiximen, wanting to see Xiao Rui's true face.

When Xiao Rui came outside the capital, Zhang Jinfu, the loyal Marquis who heard the news, arranged fifty border guards to welcome him and guard him into the city.

I saw him sitting down and riding a white horse. He had changed his ordinary gown and was wearing a formal three-clawed golden dragon robe. He tied his hair with a jade crown on his head and wore an iron dragon chant around his waist. His face was like a crown jade. Wei Yang, handsome and charming.

After he entered the city, he suddenly found that there were crowds of people on both sides of the street, and they seemed to be scrambling to appreciate him. If it weren't for the soldiers from the patrol battalion maintaining order on both sides, they might all have rushed forward.

This scene made him feel very familiar, just like the champion of Jinke riding a horse and parading through the streets, drawing the attention of the people. Hey, hey, he went out by himself and didn't do any great things. Why did the people flock to him so much?

Since the people were so enthusiastic, Xiao Rui immediately showed a bright smile, showing the standard eight teeth, and stretched out his hand to greet the people. However, this move was not a big deal, and it caused a bigger commotion.

I saw:

Many women shouted excitedly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, you are the holy monk in our hearts!"

"Our Daxia Kingdom has such a handsome prince, and he even patrolled the Daxia Prefecture. It's just like the records in the book. It's so legendary!"

"Your Highness, let's see if my daughter is beautiful!"

...

Xiao Rui was a little confused, holy monk? What the hell! The other aunt who called her daughter beautiful, please wipe off your drool.

Not only Xiao Rui was puzzled, but Guo Jia was also surprised. He also wondered why the people were so excited, and it wasn't a triumphant return to the court. What the hell are the people doing?

On the second floor of a teahouse on both sides of the street, the third prince Xiao Ze opened the window to look at Xiao Rui who was coming, and praised: "The seventh brother is so majestic, the ninth brother is really awesome, a book made the seventh brother gain the love of the people." Worship, admire, admire."

The eldest prince Xiao Lie came over, looked at the high-spirited Xiao Rui, couldn't help snorting, and said: "The small way, the common people are ignorant, once the heat of "Journey to the West" dissipates, it will be fine. I heard that the seventh brother returned On the way to Beijing, there was an assassination? Who do you think the third brother would do?"

"How could younger brother know?" Xiao Ze shrugged his shoulders, and then said: "After the seventh brother returns home, he needs to enter the palace to pay his respects. He has been away for so long, so we, as elder brothers, naturally have to prepare generous gifts to visit him."

"Forget it, I won't go." Xiao Lie thought for a while, but still didn't want to see Xiao Rui.

Xiao Ze was a little puzzled, what happened to King Jin?

What's wrong? If you suspect that your son looks like Xiao Rui, you won't go either.

In the welcome of the common people, Xiao Rui returned to Xianwang Mansion.

In front of the gate of the mansion, Jia Xu, Wu Zhanfa, Wei Guang, Shao Yao, Wu Zhanfa, Gao Quan, and the servants and maidservants of the mansion all came out of the mansion to welcome them. When they saw Xiao Rui coming on a white horse, everyone saluted together Said: "I (villain) pay my respects to Your Highness."

Xiao Rui got out of the carriage, supported Jia Xu with his hands, and then smiled at the others: "Get up, my king has been touring the state capital for the past few months, and you will take care of the mansion. Thank you for your hard work. Yuan Fang, thank you!" "

Li Yuanfang immediately moved out of the box and started distributing money to everyone.

Afterwards, Xiao Rui asked the patrol battalion soldiers to return to their orders, and then he entered the mansion.

When he came to the living room, Xiao Rui asked a few people to sit down, and then immediately asked: "Mr. Wenhe, why did the people call me a holy monk when I entered the city with such enthusiasm? I have to enter the palace first, but If I don’t understand it, I’m always curious.”

When Jia Xu heard this, a half-smile expression appeared on his face, then he took out a book from his sleeve, and said with a smile: "I expected that His Highness would be curious, so I made preparations early, Your Highness, please read it!"

Xiao Rui took it over and took a look, there were three big words on the title: "Journey to the West"!

"Could this be the novel written by Xiao Yan? It has already been published?" Xiao Rui said pleasantly, but immediately, he realized the problem, and quickly looked it up, and the first thing in it was the name of the protagonist: Xiao Qirui!

Fuck! The dog day Xiao Yan even named his protagonist Xiao Qirui!

Next, he read the introduction of the chapter, and his blood rushed to his head when he saw it.

"Qilang bid farewell to the Valley of Unrequited Love, went west and strayed into the country of daughters!"

"The daughter of the country's lord made a mistake for life, and Qilang was trapped in Pansi Cave!"

"The spider banshee pays her heart, and Qilang loses her hair and becomes a holy monk!"

"Go west to the west to get the Bible, cross people, cross yourself, and cross the world!"

...

Xiao Rui has already grabbed his hair with his hands, what the hell did I do to suggest Xiao Yan write a novel, and just put himself in it like this? I am digging a hole and jumping and burying myself?

"Your Highness, since His Royal Highness Tang's "Journey to the West" came out, it caused a huge sensation. The Hengtong Chamber of Commerce immediately printed 10,000 copies with the help of living clay calligraphy, and they were out of stock within two days. Afterwards, another 20,000 copies were printed, and they were out of stock within three days. All the storytellers in the teahouses in the capital are telling the story of "Journey to the West". And the protagonist Xiao...cough cough...the love between the holy monk and the daughter of the king, and the emotions of the seven spider banshees have also successfully conquered countless people. Women, down to the cardamom age, up to fifty old women, all regard the holy monk as the lover of their dreams. Therefore, when His Royal Highness, who is the prototype, returns, he will naturally be greeted by the common people." Jia Xu explained.

Xiao Rui waved his hand and said: "Sir, a young girl in cardamom age is fine, let alone a fifty-year-old woman. Just now an aunt on the road asked my daughter if she is beautiful..."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Rui shivered, don't even think about eating today, because he is afraid of vomiting.

Guo Jia, who was on the side, took over "Journey to the West" and flipped through it, and couldn't help but praise: "Your Highness, don't look at the innocent heart of His Highness Tang Wang, the description of lingering and pure love in this article is very vivid!"

"Xiao Yan! He's just a coquettish person! He really showed his true colors!" Xiao Rui gritted his teeth angrily. He originally thought of him getting married and giving him a big congratulatory gift, but now he doesn't even have hair!

Jia Xu on the side opened her mouth, and was about to say that Tang Wang had come to look for him a few times, and asked him for a million taels as a congratulatory gift. Judging from the current situation, it's better not to say it, and if he said it, his highness would probably explode hair.

"When I come back, I will settle the accounts with Tang Wang properly, Yuan Fang, go prepare the carriage, I will enter the palace!" Xiao Rui got up and said.

Li Yuanfang immediately went to prepare the carriage, and then escorted Xiao Rui to the Meridian Gate.

After entering the palace and coming to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, I heard that His Majesty was discussing important matters with the Cabinet Scholars, so Xiao Rui didn't bother. After walking for so long, I still miss Yan Xiaoxiao, this little girl is in the harem, I don't know if she is doing well, so she went to the side hall to have a look.

Who knows, there are only two eunuchs in the side hall, and they didn't see Yan Xiaoxiao, could it be that Yan Xiaoxiao is in the Hall of Mental Cultivation? I have gained His Majesty's trust, so I can stay inside and hold a pen. Can I hear about the state affairs?

The more valued Yan Xiaoxiao is, the safer she will be in this palace where people can't see blood.

Xiao Rui didn't sit in the side hall for long, when Hai Dafu came to invite him in person.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has finished discussing the state affairs, and called His Highness into the palace." Hai Dafu respectfully.

Xiao Rui looked at Hai Dafu and jokingly said, "Oh, it's been a few months since we left Fuzhou. Eunuch Hai doesn't grow a beard anymore. I'm really not used to it! I wonder if Eunuch Hai is not used to it?"

Hai Dafu was sad in his heart, King Xian was indeed His Highness King Xian, and he began to stab at him as soon as they met. This was deliberately exposing his scars, don't you know if he has a beard or not?

"Your Highness said that you are not used to it, but your slaves are not used to it!" Hai Dafu was obedient and never dared to refute Xiao Rui.

Satisfied, Xiao Rui got up and followed him into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Just in time, several cabinet scholars left, and when they saw Xiao Rui, they all bowed their hands to show their respect. Xiao Rui was not familiar with several of the Grand Scholars, so he just smiled.

Then Xiao Rui stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "I pay my respects to my father. I have been away from the capital for more than seven months and failed to serve the left and right sides. I also ask my father to punish me. Seeing that my father is still handsome, my son is relieved."

Xia Huang smiled and said: "Get up, let's say goodbye to Fuzhou, you helped Zhenyuanhou solve the difficult matter, smashed Zhao's conspiracy, and stabilized the situation at the border. You have done a very good job!"

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "My son also thinks he did a very good job!"

Unexpectedly, Emperor Xia changed the subject and asked, "It's just... I heard that after leaving Fuzhou, you still went to Yandu? Didn't some people say that you can't go to Yanguo?"

"Eh... did my son say that?" Xiao Rui pretended to be confused, then pointed at Hai Dafu and said, "Father, just now in the side hall, Eunuch Hai insulted my son!"

Hai Dafu trembled in fright, his heart was filled with grief, Your Highness, your trick of changing the subject is too bad, do you think you can fool His Majesty?

Emperor Xia ignored Xiao Rui's nonsense, but he didn't mention his going to Yandu.

"A lot of officials have been copied along the way from Xiangzhou." Emperor Xia said with a smile.

Xiao Rui's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that the enemy army was in position in front of him. If he was not careful, he would definitely fall into a trap.

So he immediately said righteously: "The ministers all obeyed the teachings of the father and did what a censor should do. The ministers are so selfless, upright and honest, and those corrupt officials still use money to honor the ministers, Is it possible to try to escape the guilt? The ministers are now willing to take out all the stolen money they have filially paid to the emperor, and ask the emperor not to refuse, and take the money into the internal coffers and keep it for great use."

Emperor Xia nodded in relief.

Seeing His Majesty's expression, Xiao Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Qi has a heart, how much money are you talking about the stolen money?" Emperor Xia asked.

Xiao Rui stretched out five fingers and said, "500,000 taels!"

"Oh, is that so?" Emperor Xia nodded, and suddenly said, "Hey, I seem to remember to reward you with a gold medal."

Xiao Rui quickly changed his words and said, "My son made a mistake, it's one million taels!"

Emperor Xia said again: "Since you have returned to Beijing, did you take the gold medal..."

"Two million taels! Father, it's a one-buy price." Xiao Rui was bleeding in his heart, and in order to keep the token of "As I came in person", he also fought hard.

Emperor Xia smiled and said, "Two and a half million taels, send it to the palace as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Xiao Rui could only accept it, but Nima two hundred and five sounds ugly, but he didn't dare to say anything more, for fear of raising the price.

Emperor Xia smiled even more, he was happy to be able to get money just by talking about it.

"Although you came back early this time because of Xiaojiu's big wedding, since you're back, don't go out for the time being. You've made the local officials panic. Let's stop for a while. Something big will happen soon." Emperor Xia said.
