The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Li Mingchong rushed to Li Mingde's mansion and saw him, but what Li Mingchong didn't expect was that Princess Chu Li Xiuer was also there. Moreover, Li Mingde's expression was extremely strange.

"Xiuer, you go down first!" Li Mingde scolded Li Xiuer away.

After Li Xiuer resigned, Li Mingchong asked, "Brother, what's going on?"

Li Mingde's face was gloomy, and he said: "The king of Chu wants to divorce Xiu'er on the grounds of childlessness and jealousy. The second brother should have heard about it."

"I've heard it, but the King of Chu has to use our Li family, so it's unlikely to take this step." Li Mingchong said.

Who knows, Li Mingde sneered, and said: "Now, it's not whether the king of Chu is willing or not, but Du Xueqin, the side concubine of the king of Chu, is vicious! She will do whatever it takes to squeeze out Xiu'er! Just now, Xiu'er told me one thing, one thing Big deal!"

"What's the matter?" Li Mingchong straightened his posture immediately. Could it be that this is what King Xian asked him to ask?

Li Mingde said in a low voice: "The child in Du Xueqin's belly is not the blood of King Chu at all!"

"What?" Li Mingchong stood up in shock, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Xiuer said this herself? How did she know?"

Li Mingde nodded, and said: "She saw it with her own eyes, and she swore to the sky, and Xiu'er is my granddaughter, I know her character, she will not lie, and she has evidence to expose this matter And brother, think about it, the king of Chu has so many wives and concubines, why has he not had any heirs for so many years? It can’t be that all women have problems!”

Li Mingchong remained silent. What surprised him more now was not this matter, but how did King Xian know this secret? If you think about it carefully, it's extremely scary.

Moreover, the heir in the womb of King Chu's side concubine is a fake, and it will be a sharp knife in the future, which will ruthlessly stab into the heart of King Chu. In addition, if the king of Chu has health problems and he has no heirs in the future, why does the Li clan support him? For a prince who has no heirs, even if he is a direct descendant, His Majesty will not let him inherit the throne! This will affect the inheritance of the national destiny!

"Don't tell anyone about this matter. You can ask Xiu'er side-by-side, who else knows about this matter except her!" Li Mingchong instructed.

"Second brother, don't worry, I will ask clearly!" Li Mingde nodded immediately.

Li Mingchong was in a state of confusion, so he simply returned to the mansion. Unexpectedly, just before arriving at the mansion, the steward of the mansion said respectfully: "Master, Mr. Cui Changwen, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, Mr. Song Cisong, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and Hao Hao, the left deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Master Yunhao, and the left servant of the Ministry of War, Guo Ziyi, who just took office yesterday, Lord Guo, all came to pay a visit to the mansion, the villain dared not neglect, and invited them to the parlor."

"What?" Li Mingchong was startled, his previous guess had come true, these officials who just took office were all confidantes arranged by King Xian! And there are so many concealed things that no one knows. Especially Song Ci, who tried Sui Guogong together with the king of Chu not long after he did it, and the king of Chu was still very happy, completely unaware that he was being used.

"From this point of view, with King Xian's means, it is only a small problem for him to continue to place his confidants in other yamen."

"In addition to Champion Hou, Zhenyuan Hou, Zhongyonghou, and by the way, Zhuge Yuanba, he is already in command of the imperial army, in charge of the six imperial guards in the capital, not inferior to Zhongyonghou's patrol battalion at all, and so on!"

"etc"

"Based on His Majesty's calculations, how can you not know this? But he still appointed Zhuge Yuanba as the commander of the Imperial Army."

"So it is! So it is!"

At this time, Li Mingcong suddenly understood why Xiao Rui told him all this, but he was not afraid of leaking the secret!

Because Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, it turns out that the position of prince in your mind has already belonged to you!

After Hao Yun, Cui Changwen, Song Ci, and Guo Ziyi left Li Mingyang's residence, they went back to their respective residences without going to see Xiao Rui.

Although Xiao Rui was not present, he also knew that the scene was harmonious and the conversation was very pleasant.

Telling Li Mingchong about his strength this time was a serious show off, telling him blatantly, whether to marry his granddaughter or not?

In Jia Xu's words, the chief assistant of the cabinet is the most coveted position of all civil servants. Li Mingchong can hold this position firmly, not only needs the ability to handle official affairs, but also has scheming, and this position is easy to attract hatred and hostility. He has made many enemies, and Li Mingchong's two sons are mediocre and incompetent. If he dies in the future, who will save his descendants?

Although Li Mingde is the patriarch of the Li clan, he still has to look at Li Mingchong's eyes, and Li Xiuer's marriage to Chu Wang Xiao Yiheng is a protection for his descendants!

Once there is a problem with this protective umbrella, Li Mingchong must find a new one. This is the reality that forces him to do so!

So Jia Xu firmly believed that Li Mingchong would agree to the marriage!

But next, Xiao Rui did not visit Li's mansion, but gave Li Mingchong some time to think about it.

In addition, Xiao Rui has almost rested. According to His Majesty's order, he will go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to serve as the assistant officer of Zuodu Censor and assist Du Shaonian in handling official affairs.

So Xiao Rui went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Du Shaonian hadn't slept well these few days, ever since His Majesty said that King Xian would be an assistant to him, he was full of sorrow. Who is King Xian? The little maniac who ransacked the house, the nemesis of corrupt officials, he came to be his own official, did he push himself into the fire pit?

I'm only in my forties, I just got a concubine, and I'm raising my eyebrows, I don't want to die!

"Boom..."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"I have important matters to deal with, so I don't see any guests!" Du Shaonian shouted.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Rui's laughter sounded outside the door: "Master Du is busy with business, so I won't bother you!"

Du Shaonian stood up with a groan, really afraid of something coming, he hurried out and opened the door, respectfully said: "It turned out to be a copy...His Royal Highness King Xian came in person, the official is far away to welcome, disrespect and disrespect!"

Such a character as Du Shaonian almost slipped his mouth at this time, one can imagine how sad he is. Fortunately, he has a thick skin and is not embarrassed on his face.

Xiao Rui cupped his hands and said: "Master Du is the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I will work next to you in the future. If you don't do things well and don't think comprehensively, please forgive me and Haihan."

Du Shaonian smiled and said: "Your Highness, you are polite. Your Highness's ability is obvious to all. It is my honor to be able to come to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to assist me. I believe that the Metropolitan Procuratorate will work together to serve the imperial court."

"Oh, look at my negligence, Your Highness, please rest in the room!"

Xiao Rui nodded and followed Du Shaonian into the house.

Du Shaonian sent someone to invite Hao Yun. Now Du Shaonian is the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, followed by Hao Yun, the left deputy capital censor, and the positions of the right capital censor and the right deputy capital censor are temporarily vacant. Du Shaonian is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Hao Yun is responsible for the specific work of managing the divisions, experience, capital affairs, Zhaomo, and prison divisions, as well as the supervisory censors of each state.

So Du Shaonian said with a smile: "Although His Highness has served as the supervisory censor in front of the palace years ago, he does not work in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he is not familiar with the official duties of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. During this time, I would like to ask Mr. Hao to introduce the Metropolitan Procuratorate to His Highness." Let’s familiarize ourselves with the specific situation of the hospital first, and don’t rush to carry out official duties. How about your Highness?”

"Follow Lord Du's arrangement, I have no objection!" Xiao Rui responded with a smile.

Du Shaonian nodded in relief. He decided to use the tactic of procrastination, and if he procrastinates for a while, maybe His Royal Highness Xianwang will not be so concerned about the government affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then let Hao Yun find some tricky but boring things to kill. Fan, maybe His Royal Highness King Xian doesn't want to ask about the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, isn't that beautiful?

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is already a thorn in the side of the yamen, and His Highness must not let the Metropolitan Procuratorate be brought into the pit of fire!

"Master Hao, you must carefully explain the functions and official duties of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to His Highness. Don't be afraid of trouble. The more detailed, the better your Highness can display his talents!" Du Shaonian looked at Hao Yun again and gave him a look. .

Hao Yun nodded vigorously, but mourned for Du Shaonian in his heart. Even if you blinked your eyes into stars, you won't be able to listen to your words this time. I am His Highness's man!

Xiao Rui looked at Du Shaonian's earnest words, so he held back his smile. According to his plan, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is his powerful stepping stone and the second step towards his great cause.

So I'm sorry, Mrs. Du, life is not only about poetry and distant places, but also about living with you. After you have experienced a lot, you will get used to it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Rui said: "Lord Du, if this king knows that an official who has already retired corrupted the law, abused his power, cronyism, or even colluded with foreign enemies, how should I deal with it?"

"This..." Du Shaonian was stunned, and did not answer in a hurry, but asked: "Have you retired? Are you sure your Highness has already retired?"

"Of course! I discovered it when I was inspecting the state capital. I haven't had time to punish it, so I returned to the capital. Now that I am working in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I naturally have to ask Mr. Du what he means. If Mr. Du said he would not pursue it, then the king Just put this matter on the shelf!" Xiao Rui said sincerely.

Du Shaonian hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I don't mean not to investigate, even if I am resigned from office, I have to be held accountable for the crimes committed during my tenure, so that the justice of the law can be demonstrated! So what I mean is It can be investigated, so that civil and military officials can be more vigilant, don't think that you can get away with it by resigning from your old age and returning to your hometown! However, His Highness has just come to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and is not yet familiar with official duties. Why don't you leave this matter to Hao Yun to investigate? In addition, Who is this person? Who is a senior official?"

Du Shaonian was afraid of being tricked by Xiao Rui, so he asked Hao Yun to investigate for him. If the person who investigated was prominent, Hao Yun would be able to pay attention to propriety.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "This person has already retired, so it's not worth mentioning. This king also agrees to entrust Mr. Hao with full responsibility for this matter. Mr. Du is busy with official duties, so you don't have to worry about these trivial matters."

Hao Yun also smiled and said: "My lord, please don't worry, I will handle this matter well, and will report to Your Highness and Your lord if there is any situation!"

Du Shaonian always feels that King Xian has a conspiracy, but both of them have said so, and he can't ask for it anymore, and Hao Yun will check it out for him, so he can ask him afterwards, he wants to see what King Xian wants to investigate After all, the official who became official is a character.

"Okay! Then Master Hao will work hard!" Du Shaonian said with a smile.

Xiao Rui and Hao Yun looked at each other vaguely.

Come, mourn for Du Shaonian.

This is just the beginning.
