The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

After Xiao Rui, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia combined, they found that the possibility of transferring the crime of killing King Chu to Duan Wang Xiao Feng was very small. First, there was no direct evidence, and second, Xiao Feng was a straightforward character in the eyes of everyone. , How could it be possible to come up with a series of interlocking chains?

Therefore, we can only throw the messenger on Zhao Guo!

Xiao Feng colluded with Zhao Guo, once Zhao Guoan's spies planted in the capital were involved, he would definitely conduct an in-depth investigation. At that time, relying on Dongchang's powerful investigative skills, plus some framing, Xiao Feng could be involved.

Of course, the three of them also considered the consequences, which would make the already tense situation between Xia and Zhao even more dangerous, but so what?

At this time, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, following Zhang Jinfu and Mu Chen's report, the ministers of cultural relics were discussing a lot. Although everyone has heard about this matter, it is still difficult to calm down when it is really shown. Zhao Guo is too arrogant, and as a subject, he must be filled with righteous indignation.

Emperor Xia had known about this in advance, but he couldn't restrain his anger, he slapped the dragon chair directly, and shouted: "The country of Zhao behaved despicably, disregarding the peace between the two countries and perverting it, it's nothing more than planting spies in the capital of my country, and even assassinated my prince Now that the stolen goods have been obtained together, if I don’t seek justice for the dead King Chu, the people will point at my spine and curse at the death of the King Chu!”

"Li Mingchong!"

Li Mingchong, the chief assistant of the cabinet, got up quickly, came to the front of the hall and cupped his hands and said, "The minister is here!"

"Cultivate the state letter to Emperor Zhao, and ask him to hand over the three princes to take the life of the King of Chu! If you don't hand it in, then wait for my wrath!" Xia Huang said coldly.

Li Mingchong said solemnly: "My minister obeys the order!"

When Xiao Rui heard Emperor Xia's order, he couldn't help but marvel at His Majesty's toughness. My son is dead, so you hand over your three sons for your life, or else I can only beat you! Destroy your country!

Although Emperor Xia was angry, his mind was not affected by the anger. He didn't send troops directly, but he did the ceremony first and then the soldiers.

But the result...

Everyone would have guessed that Emperor Zhao would never hand over the prince, and would rather go to war than hand it over! That is an act of losing the dignity of the country, then the national war will definitely begin!

It was originally speculated that Prince Zhao would start a war in order to protect himself after the new year, but he did not expect that the cause of this war would come from the Xia Kingdom.

Xiao Rui even suspected that it was Xiao Feng who was colluding with Prince Zhao, and all this was Prince Zhao's plan. On the surface, he was helping Xiao Feng deal with him. war?

But soon, Xiao Rui vetoed this guess.

Prince Zhao's goal is Xia Guo, which is the biggest problem. Picking persimmons is picking the soft ones, and only fools and psychopaths can chew on the hard ones. There is already a crazy Yan Xifeng in the country of Yan, so it is unlikely that the prince of the country of Zhao is also mentally ill.

But if this is the case, then the strategy of the Prince Zhao is too powerful.

Xiao Rui sighed and came back to his senses.

Sure enough, people in the world should not be underestimated. Although Jia Xu and Guo Jia are counselors with first-class IQs, many of the local counselors here are also masters! If you think that you can despise the world by virtue of descending characters, then your own road will not be long or short.

"The smarter the enemy, the more exciting the game!" Xiao Rui clenched his fists, full of fighting enthusiasm.

At this time, Emperor Xia called out Zhang Jinfu, Mu Chen, and Hai Dafu, and ordered: "Leaded by Dongchang, Jinyiwei and the Patrol Battalion cooperate to thoroughly investigate the spies from all over the capital! Hai Dafu, pry open these spies for me!" My mouth, I want to know who in the Xia Kingdom is traitorous and seeks glory, and cooperates with them internally and externally!"

Sure enough, His Majesty entrusted Dongchang with the task of eradicating the enemy's spies, exactly as Jia Xu had guessed, so the next step is to watch Wei Zhongxian's performance.

Xiao Rui secretly glanced at Xiao Feng, and saw that he lowered his head, not wanting others to notice his bewildered expression. He already suspected that Xiao Rui had a relationship with Wei Zhongxian, so now that Wei Zhongxian is investigating Zhao Guo's spies, he will definitely start to involve himself!

"It's troublesome, this is a big trouble!" Xiao Feng cursed secretly, clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, stealing chickens without losing money, this is the portrayal of him now.

Next, no one dared to report other things, so the early court ended early.

Now Xiao Rui can finally breathe a sigh of relief, of course the matter is endless, besides dealing with Xiao Feng, there is still a hidden character to deal with.

King Ruyang!

When it comes to King Ruyang, Xiao Rui has a headache. After all, he is Xiao Qingqing's biological father, and Xiao Qingqing is his own daughter. It turned out that he was put in the position of the old man. What should we do now?

Let him go?

There are no doors!

Xiao Rui wouldn't spare King Ruyang just because of Xiao Qingqing. This time he almost fell victim to him, and he absolutely couldn't spare him, but he also kept his secrets hidden. How to find out his problem? This matter is a bit of a headache, let Jia Xu and Guo Jia handle it.

In the next few days, there was a lot of tension in the capital. Dongchang began to arrest people and thoroughly investigated the enemy's spies in the capital. Therefore, anyone who had business, relatives, or contacts with Zhao, Yan, and Qi were all The number of objects under investigation is as many as tens of thousands. There are countless people who are brought into Dongchang every day. Trembling with fright.

At this time, only Hai Dafu served Emperor Xia in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Have you found it?" Emperor Xia was reading the memorial and asked.

Hai Dafu said respectfully: "The servants have investigated the old people in the palace. According to them, the Empress Dowager Xiaoshen had a close relationship with Concubine Mu and Concubine De during her lifetime."

When it came to His Majesty's harem, Hai Dafu didn't dare to say too much, so he would answer whatever His Majesty asked him to investigate, and absolutely didn't dare to say anything else.

Emperor Xia nodded and said: "Back then, Emperor Zhao was guilty and told Empress Xiaoshen the identity of Concubine Rong. Although the Empress Dowager is not my biological mother, she is the empress dowager. She wants to uphold the ancestral precept that the harem should not interfere in politics, and even more so. Xia Guo is orthodox, so she gave Concubine Rong a white silk without telling me, but fortunately Ye Qianying and Ye Wendao rescued Concubine Rong, but it also caused subsequent disasters."

Having said that, Emperor Xia put down his pen, stood up and stretched his waist.

"Back then, I threatened Empress Xiaoshen not to reveal the identity of Concubine Rong, and at the same time wiped out the roots and cleared the palace, but in the end there were fish that slipped through the net, and Wei Wuxian was one of them. Concubine Mu, Concubine De and Empress Xiaoshen were close, so this Do the two of you know?" Emperor Xia murmured to himself.

Hai Dafu was silent, not daring to answer.

Emperor Xia thought of another matter and asked: "I seem to remember that when the British Duke was young, he traveled around various countries, especially living in Zhao Guohuang for a long time! This matter has been going on for a long time, and I have forgotten it. I just remembered it all of a sudden."

Hai Dafu said respectfully: "The British Duke likes to visit the mountains and rivers, and the slaves have also heard about it."

Emperor Xia nodded, narrowed his eyes, and said: "I still remember that the British gentleman was a first-class Confucian scholar. About the same age as Zhao Huang, I heard that Zhao Huang also liked to make friends when he was young..."

Hai Dafu continued to remain silent, His Majesty's meaning was already very clear, as a slave he did not dare to say more.

At this time, Emperor Xia said again: "When I was young, I devoted myself to the affairs of the country and didn't pay attention to the affairs of the harem. Even the childhood education of the princes was entrusted to the doctor. You go to Dongchang yourself and send someone to investigate the situation of the harem. Teach Duan Wang's Enlightenment Doctor, and see how Duan Wang's learning ability was when he was a child."

Hai Dafu replied: "Yes!"

After finishing speaking, Hai Dafu left in a hurry, and would come back in an hour.

"Your Majesty, this servant has already found out..." Hai Dafu felt that the situation was serious when he thought of what he had found out.

"Say!" Emperor Xia asked.

Hai Dafu said: "Your Majesty, three of the four doctors who taught His Highness Duan Wang have passed away!"

"Three people died? How did they die?" Emperor Xia asked.

Hai Dafu replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Dr. Li Kaiyuan was in charge of teaching His Royal Highness the Five Classics and Four Books, and died suddenly at the age of forty-five. Dr. Huang Hai was in charge of teaching His Royal Highness Duan Wang's calligraphy, chess and painting. He fell ill and died at the age of five. Twelve years old. Zhang Zhiqiu was in charge of teaching the Analects of Confucius etiquette to His Royal Highness Duan Wang, and died of drowning at the age of thirty-eight. Only the teacher in charge of riding and archery was safe."

After hearing this, Emperor Xia couldn't help sighing.

"Sure enough, it was hidden from me. When I was young, I took care of the prince's studies flawlessly, and I just gave him an opportunity to take advantage of it. In order to deceive me, this move is really long. British Duke, British Duke, no wonder the late emperor called you It's Tsukatora! From what I can see, it's completely wolf Gu Zhixiang!" Xia Huang said at the end, his tone gradually became indifferent.

When the Emperor Xia was young, he devoted himself to government affairs. Otherwise, how would he develop the barren and backward Xia Kingdom into what it is now?

But everything has advantages and disadvantages. His negligence of the harem caused the death of Concubine Rong, which caused an unforgettable pain in his life. It is also because he is above the government and does not care about the education of princes such as King Jin, King Chu, King Wu, and King Duan, so that he doesn't care much about whether King Duan is smart or straightforward.

It wasn't until I knew the Mandate of Heaven that I didn't concentrate so much on government affairs, and began to pay attention to the teachings of Xiao Rui, Xiao Jing, and Xiao Yan, and regularly checked their schoolwork.

So this gave the British public an opportunity. In order to hide some truths, he asked Xiao Feng to open a mansion at the age of twelve, and personally taught him. He probably also bought the three doctors, and did not let them reveal the wisdom of King Duan to the outside world. Then he took a chance and killed the three of them, completely concealing the truth.

When Xiao Feng is older and understands the ways of the world, he can pretend to be a fool. In addition, His Majesty cares less, and as time goes by, he can hide it from everyone.

"The royal family has no family ties. This is what my mother told me after she took me to recognize my ancestors. I have never forgotten it. I never thought that it would be my turn to have an heir, and I would go through this process. It's ridiculous!"

Emperor Xia shook his head and sighed, feeling a sense of loneliness in his heart.

Hai Dafu has followed Emperor Xia for nearly thirty years, and has witnessed with his own eyes how Emperor Xia rises and wins the throne, and how worried he is about the country, the people, and state affairs. At this moment, he is so lonely, and he has not seen it for many years.

"Show me! Go to Concubine Mu!"

Suddenly, Emperor Xia made a decree, and at the same time, the loneliness on his face disappeared.

As the king of a country, there should be no sighs!
