The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

The letter of credence to get along with Qi has been signed, Xiao Rui's mission is basically completed, and Ye Wendao also ordered the mission to pack their bags and prepare to return in a few days.

So Xiao Rui's life has returned to leisure and peace.

On this day, Huo Xingye, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, there are many wars in the surrounding countries. The Wei State invaded the Yan State, the Yuan Dynasty disturbed the Qi State, and there are frequent gaps between our Great Xia Border Pass and Zhao State, so that the people are talking about it. It’s not fair. It just so happens that it’s the time of great cold. According to the practice of the Xia Kingdom, it’s time for winter hunting. An old saying goes: The emperors of old searched for summer seedlings in spring, hunted in autumn and winter, and left the suburbs at four o’clock to show their power to the world! Hold a winter hunt, show the common people of the Xia Kingdom with martial arts, and deter the Xiaoxiao at the border!"

Emperor Xia nodded and said: "Last year's Winter Hunting was canceled for some reason, and this year we really have to hold a good one. But now the end of the year is approaching, and it is already the twenty-sixth of the twelfth lunar month. Let's go to Winter Hunting after the new year. Tentatively, the fourth day, First order the Northwest Camp to inspect the royal hunting grounds to prevent thieves from hiding."

Huo Xingye said again: "Your Majesty, in previous winter hunting, several His Highnesses would replace His Majesty in hunting, and see who hunted the most abundant prey, and then reward them. May I ask Your Majesty if this year is also carried out according to the usual practice?"

"The princes have been busy for a year, and they have grown in government affairs, so we will proceed according to the usual practice. I will also take this opportunity to investigate whether the riding and shooting skills of the princes are loose. The king of Chu and the king of Tang have not left the capital yet. Participate too!" Xia Huang said.

Huo Xingye said: "I understand!"

And when Xiao Rui got the news, he didn't think much about it. It's very normal to use Dongshou to represent the world with martial arts, and it's also when the princes behaved. Since Xiao Rui didn't hide his clumsiness anymore, he had to show his own Excellent come. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if they only hunted a little white rabbit and the other princes hunted tigers and black bears.

So Xiao Rui was going to take Li Yuanfang and Yang Youji there. Especially Yang Youji, tsk tsk... this is the god of arrows, no matter where you point to shoot, are you afraid you won't be able to hit the prey? Absolutely top notch! And can snatch other people's prey! Not to be envied is a mediocrity!

But Guo Jia stopped Xiao Rui, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, winter hunting is a major event, and His Highness naturally has to show the ability he should have, but according to my subordinates, no one knows the details of Yang Youjichu's arrival in the capital. It's better not to put him on the table. Yang Youji's archery skills are superb, and he is most suitable for secret guarding, and it will have miraculous effects."

Xiao Rui didn't take it seriously at first, but when he saw the attitudes of Guo Jia and Jia Xu, and saw the two people making eye contact, with that feeling of harmony, he knew that two active people were planning something .

Xiao Rui rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a deep sense of frustration.

People who have been able to make eye contact since ancient times are either awesome people, such as Guo Jia and Jia Xu, or funny people, such as Xiao Yan, Zhang Lianchuan and Tian Boguang. Xiao Rui has no chance to join this ranks, his IQ can't keep up with Guo Jia and Guo Jia, and he's inferior to Xiao Yan in terms of funny.

"Feng Xiao, from the looks on your faces, do you and Mr. Wen He think this winter hunt is tricky?" Xiao Rui asked.

Guo Jia nodded and explained: "Huo Xingye proposed to use Dongshou to show his martial arts to the world. This is a very good excuse. Now that the external environment of Xia Kingdom is very tense, it is very suitable to come to Dongshou now. If this matter is replaced by someone else He pointed out that his subordinates would not be suspicious, but the suspicion lies in Huo Xingye. Huo Xingye is the Minister of the Ministry of War, he is cautious and thoughtful, and he has been able to sit in the position of Minister of the Ministry of War for so long. These two habits account for a lot Factors. A prudent and thoughtful Minister of the Ministry of War, suggesting that His Majesty demonstrates martial arts in the world today, will convey a lot of misleading information, especially after being known by neighboring countries, will they guess that Xia Guo will also raise troops? Even if the covenant has just been reached All the missions of the State of Qi are still preoccupied with Dongshou, so according to his personality, he would not make this request."

"That's right! This subordinate agrees with Feng Xiao's conjecture that there must be demons in the so-called normal situation. Huo Xingye proposed winter hunting for no reason. There must be other reasons. Therefore, we suggest that we should be careful. Now His Highness has more prestige than other princes. It is inevitable for people to be jealous, if someone is playing tricks in the royal hunting ground with ulterior motives, we must guard against them!" Jia Xu said.

Xiao Rui said: "Well, let Yang Youji hide his strength and wait for the opportunity. Besides, if Huo Xingye wants to play tricks, the person behind him must be Duan Wang! He is Duan Wang Xiao Feng's uncle, could it be Xiao Feng? Is the person who makes me suspicious all the time really hidden?"

Xiao Rui specially sent someone to investigate Xiao Feng, but the information he got was of no value. Xiao Feng, as the world saw, had well-developed limbs and a simple mind. Could it be that just because his name was Xiao Feng, he preconceived that he was awesome?

Unexpectedly, at this time, Jia Xu suddenly laughed.

"Your Highness, we suspect that there is a problem with Dongshou, and the other reason lies in Duan Wang!" Jia Xu said.

Xiao Rui asked: "Sir, please tell me!"

Jia Xu caressed his beard and said with a smile: "Subordinates have investigated Xiao Feng, and the information they got all said that he is good at martial arts, but his strategy is shallow. His mother and concubine is Concubine Mu. It is said that she is a low-key concubine. She lives in a simple way and is easy-going. He has a good relationship with the empress and imperial concubine, and his popularity is very good. His maternal grandfather, the British Duke, had no official position and only a title, and he did not reveal his landscape on weekdays. It seemed that everything showed that Xiao Feng was not a threat. Until His Highness married the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, Mr. Li, Feng Xiao and I visited Lord Shoufu, asked him to help observe Xiao Feng, and finally found out where the problem is!"

According to the appointment, Xiao Feng has been an assistant official in the cabinet. After such a long time, Li Mingchong can naturally find out about him.

When Xiao Rui heard it, he became even more interested and asked, "What's the problem?"

Jia Xu asked back: "Your Highness thinks, does His Highness Prince Duan want to be the crown prince and inherit the great line?"

"Of course I want to!" Xiao Rui said without hesitation.

Jia Xu nodded, and said again: "Yes, he wants to be the prince, and now he is an assistant official in the cabinet. Although he can't get in touch with the important and important affairs of the country, but as His Majesty puts more burden on the princes, Prince Duan can already get in touch with them. There are a lot of government affairs, in this case, what will a person who advocates force but is not good at strategy, and is keen on being the crown prince?"

Xiao Rui changed his mind and said: "I will try my best to perform and get in touch with important national affairs as much as possible. Your Majesty asked the prince to serve in various departments because he wanted to see his ability? The cabinet is the link between the past and the future. To be able to serve there, It is definitely a great opportunity to perform, I also thought about entering the cabinet at the beginning, but in the end I chose to inspect the state capital."

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Your Highness is right. According to human nature, King Duan should try his best to express himself and find a way to win over a few cabinet scholars! And King Duan did indeed do this, but Feng Xiao and I asked Li Shoufu After careful observation and combined with King Duan's behavior, I finally found that King Duan has shown some cheating feet. After all, even if a person is extremely smart, he will eventually show his cheating feet, and no one can be impeccable."

"For example, King Duan would diligently ask Li Mingchong for advice and express his views on certain political affairs, but his views were very shallow. It is normal for King Duan to be not good at planning, and his views are shallow, but how could he be unprepared if he wanted to express himself? What about rhetoric? He is not stupid, and he must understand this truth. Therefore, King Duan is smart but is mistaken by cleverness. He wants to show courtesy, but he doesn't want to show his feet. Under the contradiction, his habit of hiding all the time makes him choose the wrong way carefully. , I would rather show my superficial side. This is one of them!"

"Secondly, King Duan deliberately acted stupid, not to alleviate the prince's hostility, because it was unnecessary. And there is only one person in the world who can force him to do so, and that is His Majesty today! So Fengxiao and I asked the chief assistant Your Excellency deliberately used tricks to create opportunities for King Duan to perform in front of His Majesty. Your Highness, do you guess the result? King Duan was very pleasantly surprised, but his behavior was very cautious. Lord Shoufu pretended to delay, and Xiao Feng was not in a hurry to urge him. Not keen."

"Thirdly, when my subordinates investigated Duan Wang, they found that Duan Wang was the first prince to open the mansion at the age of twelve, and the subordinates heard that it was Concubine Mu who saw that he liked to practice martial arts. It was so inconvenient, so I begged His Majesty, and His Majesty agreed. Don’t His Highness find it strange? The prince stays in the Prince’s Mansion, and his knowledge must be tested by His Majesty every time, so that He can be valued by His Majesty. There is no such convenience when going out to open the mansion. "

"The above three points, after discussing with Feng Xiao, I judged that Xiao Feng is not what he looks like in front of people, it must be because the city is very deep, and he has cultivated a person who is very good at hiding since he was a child."

Xiao Rui gave a thumbs up. He asked Guo Jia and Jia Xu to investigate Xiao Feng. He didn't expect the two of them to guess that there was something wrong with Xiao Feng, and to verify his worries.

"There is really a conspiracy in winter hunting this time, so what should we do?" Xiao Rui thought for a while, but he didn't have a good idea.

Jia Xu said: "There is a conspiracy in this winter hunt, not necessarily against His Highness, so we need to test it out. Your Highness, why don't you deliberately tell His Majesty that you can't participate in this winter hunt on the grounds of physical discomfort, so as to test it out. How does His Highness feel?"

"Good idea!" Xiao Rui's eyes lit up, and he immediately entered the palace.

After meeting the saint, Xiao Rui chattered a few words east and west, and practiced martial arts in the morning, competing with fifth-rank masters. He hurt his arm, and he might not be able to participate in the Winter Hunting Hunt, so he came here to report.

Emperor Xia inquired about the injury, and when he found out that there was nothing serious, he agreed to his request and said, "Be careful next time in the competition, do you have no points for how many catties and taels you have? How dare you challenge a fifth-rank expert? "

Well, I was hit by my father again.

Xiao Rui could only nod obediently, and then left the palace obediently.

In addition to the palace, Xiao Rui spread the news of his injury cryptically, and invited the genius doctor Hua Tuo to come to the mansion to do all the tricks, and Tang Wang Xiaoyan came to visit. In desperation, Xiao Rui used A strap and plank secured the left arm.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan's mouth was really broken. As soon as he yelled after he left, a large number of people came to visit him the next day.

This was beyond Xiao Rui's expectation!

Song Ci, Guo Ziyi, Hao Yun, Zhuge Yuanba, Ye Xiu, Du Shaonian, Yue Chong...all the dignitaries who have a good relationship with Xiao Rui come to visit them in person. Who makes Xiao Rui like the sun now?

In the afternoon, many merchants in Kyoto sent people to send precious medicinal materials, good guy, ginseng antler and shark fin...

Good guy, Xiao Rui didn't even know that he was so popular!

Could it be that they are all grateful for their bravery and elimination of evil?

Unexpectedly, Gao Quan Pi Dian Pi Dian came over and explained the truth: "Your Highness, among the merchants who deliver medicines, there are all young girls who are waiting to be married. They are all loyal readers of "Journey to the West", and they all covet the holy monk. If His Highness nods, thousands of girls would be willing to be concubines!"

Pooh! Xiao Rui spat on the spot.

These vulgar women are all coveting their own beauty! Shameless!

In the evening, Xiao Ze came to visit in person, while Xiao Feng, Xiao Lie, Xiao Jing, and Xiao Yiheng sent people to visit. It seems that Xiao Rui's temptation has not yet produced results, or the conspiracy of the winter hunting incident has nothing to do with him.

After seeing off a large number of visitors, Xiao Rui was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Just as he was thinking about removing the props from his arm, an unexpected person came.
