The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Xiao Rui still remembers it vividly now. At that time, when Jiuyan was young, she was still a big girl. Now, in less than two years, she has turned out to be slim and graceful, and her eyebrows and eyes have gradually grown. Although she is still a little green, But in a few years, she must be a beautiful woman.

No wonder Queen Zhou Xiangyun would frame her up. It is indeed dangerous for such a beauty to serve as a female official who writes a book and serve the Hall of Mental Cultivation. It's no wonder that Xiao Yiheng was fascinated, and only Xiao Rui would treat her as a younger sister.

"Xiao Xiao really grows more and more beautiful!" Xiao Rui praised.

Yan Xiaoxiao's smile was even sweeter, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, these words made her feel like eating honey, she was excited, joyful, jumping for joy, she had an unprecedented happiness, considering that Xiao Rui was still here, she could only suppress her excitement Did not jump up.

She still raised her chest and looked up, as if she wanted Xiao Rui to see her growth, as if to say, don't treat me like a child!

"Your Highness, I'm seventeen years old. A woman of my age outside the palace has already married and had children." Yan Xiaoxiao said.

Xiao Rui nodded and said with a smile: "I don't know which man will be so lucky to marry Xiaoxiao in the future!"

If His Majesty does not come to Yan Xiaoxiao, she can leave the palace to marry when she is twenty-five years old.

Yan Xiaoxiao lowered her head, pouted her lips, and said, "Xiaoxiao won't marry anyone!"

Xiao Rui thought she was shy, and said with a smile, "You are still young, and when you meet a good match, don't say that."

Yan Xiaoxiao really wanted to speak out loudly, but she didn't dare, so she could only feel bitter in her heart.

"Did the queen make things difficult for you these few days?" Xiao Rui asked what was worrying him.

Yan Xiaoxiao shook her head, and said: "Recently, the queen is worrying about Duke Xi's affairs, so why would she care about me? Don't worry, Your Highness."

Talking about the coincidence, just as Yan Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she heard footsteps coming from the front of the side hall. The two turned their heads and saw that it was Queen Zhou Xiangyun who had come in.

Different from the arrogance of the past, Zhou Xiangyun looks haggard now. It seems that what happened between Duke Xi and Prince Chu's mansion has deeply tormented her, making her unable to think about food and drink these few days.

At the same time, Zhou Xiangyun also saw Xiao Rui, his enemy was so jealous when they met, immediately frowned, and shouted: "Xiao Rui!"

After finishing speaking, Xing rushed into the side hall in a hurry, saw Yan Xiaoxiao beside Xiao Rui again, doubled his anger, and roared: "Okay, King Xian, how dare you meet the female officials in the side hall in private! Who gave you the guts! I will tell His Majesty after a while!"

Xiao Rui sneered and said: "Secret meeting? The empress's words are serious. As soon as I came in, the empress came in later. This is a private meeting? Could it be that Yan Xiaoxiao left, and the empress and I stayed here alone , is it also a private meeting?"

"Bold!" Zhou Xiangyun was trembling with anger. She is the mother of a country, but she was humiliated by the prince at this time. How has she ever been wronged like this?

Zhou Xiangyun said angrily: "King Xian, you don't have any rules about respect and inferiority, and you even utter wild words. When you see His Majesty, you will definitely be punished for a big crime of disrespect!"

Xiao Rui gave Yan Xiaoxiao a look, telling her not to be afraid, and faced Zhou Xiangyun directly, and said with a smile: "The empress insists on suing, so the king has nothing to say. Justice is at ease, your majesty can see it clearly, and the empress understands it in her heart." .”

"Did I say something wrong? Of course I understand!" Zhou Xiangyun said angrily.

At this moment, Xiao Rui's smile suddenly became brighter, and he comforted him: "Your Majesty, please don't get angry. I heard that you have passed out once in a hurry. If you come again twice, what should you do? If it is because of I have exposed Duke Xi's ugly face and offended the Empress Empress, I know I was wrong, and if I want to be beaten or punished, it is up to my empress to decide, I only hope that my empress can guarantee her phoenix body!"

"Xiao Rui! Don't talk sweet words to me, how can I believe your face?" Zhou Xiangyun was furious, and said, "You think your trick of slandering Duke Xi will succeed? When Bai Huhou returns to the capital, he will definitely expose you in front of the saint." Hypocrisy, even if you kneel down and apologize to me, I will never forgive you!"

Xiao Rui bowed deeply, and said in shame: "I hope that the empress will guarantee the body of the phoenix! Duke Xi is perverse, and the minister is telling the truth, please forgive me!"

"Shut up! Shut up!" Zhou Xiangyun yelled, raising his eyebrows angrily, how could he look like a dignified queen?

So... why did Xiao Rui pretend to be a grandson all of a sudden?

Because he saw His Majesty standing in front of the gate of the side hall, and Zhou Xiangyun didn't know it yet.

This is why Xiao Rui pretends to be a grandson.

And just after Zhou Xiangyun angrily reprimanded Xiao Rui to shut up, Emperor Xia in front of the palace finally stepped in and snorted coldly: "The empress is so majestic, she actually reprimanded the prince in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. In addition, Bai Huhou returned Jing, can Duke Xi's crimes be eliminated? Is he trying to force the palace?"

Zhou Xiangyun, who was on the verge of anger, trembled, and looked back, when His Majesty was standing in front of him! She immediately understood that she had been tricked by Xiao Rui again, he deliberately begged for mercy, and he was acting in front of His Majesty!

Zhou Xiangyun hurriedly saluted, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's not about the concubine, I just want to say that when Bai Huhou comes back, he will assist the third division to find out the whole story of the case, and if Duke Xi was wronged, he can be cleared. "

Emperor Xia warned: "Queen, you are the mother of a country, you must distinguish the overall situation and know how to measure. If you insist on guarding the identity of Duke Xi's daughter, but forget the meaning of the mother of a country, then I can help you! "

Zhou Xiangyun shuddered and took two steps back in fright.

Your Majesty's words are straightforward enough. Zhou Xiangyun is the mother of a country, and Xi Guogong is corrupt and perverts the law. Not only can she not make trouble, but she also has to advise His Majesty to enforce the law fairly, which is what a queen should do. But if you still care about your family in your heart, then your majesty can abolish the empress and let her take good care of her.

Abandoned

These two words lingered in Zhou Xiangyun's mind instantly, lingering like a nightmare.

"The concubine knows it's wrong." Zhou Xiangyun knelt down and saluted, his tone trembling, and he didn't dare to say a word.

Emperor Xia did not continue to embarrass her, after all, she is still a queen, she needs to give her face!

"Get up, I know the purpose of your coming here, so do you still need me to tell you the answer?" Emperor Xia asked.

Zhou Xiangyun shook his head and said: "I understand, I will leave now."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xiangyun hurriedly left the side hall, not daring to take another look.

After she left, Xia Huang bowed his hands and saluted, saying: "Father, please punish the crime of my son!"

Emperor Xia stepped forward and sat at the head, and asked: "Excuse me, I know you know how to measure, and it is natural for a queen to care about Duke Xi, so I just reprimanded her a few words. By the way, you are not in Honglu Temple Entertaining the Qi State Mission, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Father, I just want to report to the Qi State Mission. I found out that Qi State's visit this time was for the purpose of forming an alliance, but it was completely insincere. It was more like a formality, so my son I suspect that this is a plot by Emperor Qi, the purpose of which is to test the distribution of forces in the court of Qi, of course, also to test the waters, to make a good start for the alliance between Xia and Qi in the future."

"Very good! Your judgment is very accurate. Emperor Qi's intention is indeed that. The reason why I agreed to Emperor Qi's request for a visit was not to expect the two countries to form an alliance, but as long as Xia and Qi communicate, it will definitely arouse Emperor Zhao's anger." Suspicion, once distrust arises, the close relationship between Zhao and Qi will be broken little by little." Emperor Xia laughed.

Xiao Rui respectfully said: "Father and Emperor have figured it out a long time ago, I am ashamed."

Emperor Xia waved his hand and said: "Stop flattering, the bigger reason why you entered the palace this time is because Bai Huhou entered Beijing."

"Hey, father is too powerful, you can guess right." Xiao Rui laughed.

Xia Huangdao: "Bai Huhou has returned to the Ministry of War to report on his duties, but the forbidden army has already ambushed there. Calculate the time, the weapon of Bai Huhou should have been unloaded and controlled. The queen came to bother me, and I thought she was waiting for Bai Hu Hou entered the palace. I have ordered the third department to investigate, if Bai Huhou is really collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, then there is no need to enter the palace."

Now it's not that Emperor Xia doesn't believe that Bai Huhou is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, but that he has won the king and lost the bandit. Even if he doesn't, if he can't save himself, he will lose everything.

This also reminded Xiao Rui that you need to be careful in everything. Once you are framed and have no way to save yourself, I am afraid that your current efforts will be in vain.

"My son understands, the minister there is retiring." Xiao Rui said with a salute.

Emperor Xia didn't keep Xiao Rui, so he nodded and let him leave the palace.

After leaving the palace, Xiao Rui sent someone to the Ministry of War to keep an eye on it, waiting for Bai Huhou's progress there.

In the next few days, Xiao Rui still went back and forth to Honglu Temple, and the negotiation with Qi State was not smooth. Xiao Rui already understood Qi State's intentions, so he didn't care about forming an alliance.

In addition, Bai Huhou's interrogation also had results.

As soon as Bai Huhou returned to the Ministry of War to report on his duties, he was stripped of his armor by the Forbidden Army and then controlled.

At that time, Bai Huhou was in a daze. He shouted: "What do you want to do? This Marquis is a third-rank military marquis. Do you want to kill yourself?"

Guo Ziyi had been known for a long time for this ambitious and talented Bai Huhou, so he was naturally not afraid, so he sneered and said: "Bai Huhou, your collusion with the enemy has been leaked, and I have ordered you to be controlled and thoroughly investigated by His Majesty. If you resist that Just stop blaming me for being ruthless! Come on, get ready!"

As soon as the order was issued, the forbidden soldiers on both sides prepared their swords and axes.

Bai Huhou immediately stopped struggling, but he cursed: "When I returned to Beijing, I heard that my uncle was imprisoned. His Majesty must have listened to the slander! This Marquis wants to see His Majesty, and this Marquis wants to see His Majesty!"

"Press it down!" Guo Ziyi didn't bother to talk to this guy, waved his hand, and pushed him down.

The ensuing interrogation was within the expectations of Jia Xu and Guo Jia. Bai Huhou admitted to contacting Zhao Kuangming, but denied the traitorous behavior, and did not disclose Chang Shenghou's formation.

This may be the case, but the mixture of true and false is the most difficult evidence to prove your innocence! What's more, if Xiao Rui wanted to mess with him, Hao Yun, Song Ci, and Guo Ziyi were all his own, so the result can be imagined!

In the end, the official documents of the interrogation were sent to His Majesty's Dragon Case.

Because it was a secret interrogation, the civil and military ministers in the capital only knew that Bai Huhou had returned to Beijing, but he was not in the Zhou mansion. Even Xiao Yiheng, king of Chu, couldn't find his uncle.

Where did my uncle go?

After reading the official document, His Majesty, although Bai Huhou did not admit treason, he admitted to collaborating with the enemy, and there is oral testimony and physical evidence, how can he deny it?

There is no need to say much about the next thing.

Bai Huhou's crimes were immediately announced to the public.

After the king of Chu got the news, he staggered and sat down on the chair.

He finally knew where his uncle had gone. At first he thought it was only his grandfather who had the accident, but he didn't expect Bai Huhou to come to Wang Bo!

Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country has been a major crime against the nine clans since ancient times!

The king of Chu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, he immediately understood that the Zhou family was finished!

In the harem, Zhou Xiangyun was still looking forward to relying on Bai Huhou's military exploits to speak to His Majesty. If His Majesty would be lenient, who would have thought that the news would be Bai Huhou's crimes!

Zhou Xiangyun suddenly felt dizzy, and even became anxious again, and passed out again.
