The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

The mainland of China, which has been peaceful for many years, has ushered in a scuffle.

The Yuan State aggressively invaded the Qi State, and the two countries were in full swing.

Wei State attacked Yan State in the north, and the two countries fought like a raging fire.

Now, Zhao Guo and Xia Guo are about to join the war.

Six of the Seven Kingdoms of China participated in the war, and only the most powerful Qin remained!

Today, Emperor Qin is still ambitious in his twilight years. It is his dream to expand the territory. It is a pity that the north of Qin State is an endless ice sea and snow field, and the west and north are deserted Gobi Desert. The only way to expand the territory is the East!

The State of Qin has been coveting the entire mainland of China and the entire fertile east for many years. Now that the Six Kingdoms War is imminent, it seems that the State of Qin has also waited for a godsend opportunity!

Before the storm, there is only rare tranquility left.

Xia Kingdom Kyoto.

The news of the mobilization of Zhao Jun's soldiers and horses has been sent back to the capital. Emperor Xia has already had some extra information, and immediately ordered to the major military lords and border guards.

Chen Qingzhi also passed on Yu Chiyong's strategy to Xiao Rui through Spear Falcon. Yu Chiyong thought that he secretly plotted against Chencang and pretended to attack Miaozhou.

Although Yu Chiyong had an army of 120,000, he had to divide his troops into two groups, going south to attack Xifeng Pass in Yan State, and going east to attack Chen Qingzhi in Xiangzhou, Xia State. Therefore, the enemy army that Chen Qingzhi can face is only 50,000 to 60,000 people. Chen Qingzhi has 60,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and he is not afraid of him if he fights one against two.

So Xiao Rui doesn't worry about them at all, and what Xiao Rui wants to do now is still the crown prince.

When he returned to Beijing, His Majesty mentioned to Xiao Rui that delaying the crown prince's position is not a solution, and there should be some clues, which means that His Majesty has decided to appoint a crown prince.

Now in the capital, only the eldest prince Jin Wang Xiao Lie, the third prince Wu Wang Xiao Ze and Xiao Rui are left. Xiao Feng has already set off for Yinzhou, he went to make meritorious deeds, he did not give up the fight for the throne. Maybe in his opinion, it doesn't matter who is the prince. There are countless princes who have been abolished in the past. Being a prince will definitely be able to sit on the throne?

Counting the past six months, too many things have happened in Kyoto. Sui Guogong, Xi Guogong, and Yinggong Gong fell, King Chu died, King Jing was lame, King Tang took office in Hangzhou, and King Duan took office in Yinzhou. The court structure has undergone earth-shaking changes. Prince. And now among the only three remaining princes, is there still a choice?

Jin Wang Xiao Lie is too bookish, if he becomes the prince in the future, he can only keep it.

Wu Wang Xiao Ze is smart, but people are afraid of comparison.

Today's Xiao Rui's reputation and prestige have been pushed extremely high. Of course, there are both natural and man-made reasons.

The opponents began to praise and kill Xiao Rui, making him flourish, which aroused His Majesty's fear! From their point of view, no emperor would tolerate power over the ruling prince!

Xiao Rui naturally knew about this matter, and originally he wanted to keep a low profile, but Jia Xu and Guo Jia disagreed, and since there were two guards, Xiao Rui didn't bother to ask.

In the past few days, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Li Mingchong, the chief minister of the cabinet, have been getting very close, and the three of them don't know what big things they are plotting. Xiao Rui took the elixir kneaded by the Rou Buddha and began to practice his martial arts. Li Yuanfang has successfully entered the sixth-rank realm, which also gave Xiao Rui the motivation to break through to the fourth-rank warrior in the shortest possible time!

The time came to the last day of the first month of the twenty-fourth year of Daxia Yongli.

Today's morning court, after the ordinary and trivial political affairs, everyone thought that the morning court was coming to an end, and when Emperor Xia was about to leave the court, Li Mingchong, the chief minister of the cabinet with his eyes closed, suddenly stood up and came out, respectfully saying: "Your Majesty, I have something to do. Reward!"

"Oh, what does Li Aiqing want to report?" Emperor Xia asked.

"Your Majesty, the country cannot live without a crown prince. The position of the crown prince will not be determined for a long time. It will not only affect the hearts of the people and the army, but also affect the fate of the country in Daxia! I am so bold, I am sure your majesty will establish a crown prince soon!"

After Li Mingchong finished speaking, he knelt down on the ground.

As the chief assistant of the cabinet, he has the power of prime minister and has the obligation and responsibility to remind His Majesty to choose the prince.

However, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were astonished. After all, those officials who had stiffened their necks and proposed to establish a crown prince were all killed for various reasons. Now no one dares to point fingers and make His Majesty do what he does not want to do!

So Li Mingchong was so bold, which was beyond everyone's surprise.

Xiao Rui was also taken aback, Li Mingchong didn't discuss this with himself at all!

etc…

So it turns out that this is what Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Li Mingchong conspired recently!

It's just that this is so brave! They knew that after telling Xiao Rui, the cautious Xiao Rui would not agree, so they asked Li Mingchong to kill first and then play.

From Jia Xu and Guo Jia's point of view, when strength and prestige have accumulated to a certain stage, they must be sublimated! If His Majesty is Yan Huang, Zhao Huang and his ilk, Jia Xu, who knows how to protect himself best, would dare to do this? He will definitely let Xiao Rui keep a low profile, accumulate strength in secret, be a good baby, be patient, and be sly.

Fortunately, Emperor Xia is not such a person!

A wise master will choose the crown prince at the right moment.

Now the national war is imminent, and within ten days and a half months, the war will start, and at this moment, it is the time to choose the prince to boost the hearts of the people and the army, and stabilize the national fortune of the Great Xia!

So Jia Xu and Guo Jia explained Li Mingchong.

Li Mingchong was absolutely afraid at first, but he couldn't stand the lobbying of the two of them, so he gritted his teeth and took this important step. At this moment, Li Mingchong was also feeling uneasy.

On the dragon chair, Emperor Xia was taken aback. He didn't expect that Li Mingchong, who always knew how to protect himself, would dare to say this. Seeing his uneasy expression, Emperor Xia felt happy. This old guy seemed to be encouraged.

Looking at Xiao Rui in the crowd, this kid also looked shocked, and he didn't have the guts to do this, this kid was still very cautious.

The other ministers of civil and military affairs, even more unable to lobby Li Mingchong, were all juniors.

It seems that the two counselors beside Xiao Qi are masters, they are the ones who convinced Li Mingchong... These two people have grasped the timing very accurately and guessed my thoughts so thoroughly, what a talent! I don't know what kind of shit luck Xiaoqi had to be able to win over such two talented people who govern the country.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xia felt happy for him.

A country cannot be without a king for a day, and naturally it cannot be without a prince. After delaying for so long, it is time to establish a prince. Looking at the history of the entire mainland of China, how can a country not have a prince for more than 20 years?

I persevered and waited for the time.

When there was silence in the Golden Palace, Emperor Xia coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "Li Aiqing is right! A country cannot live without a prince. For the sake of the country's fortune, I should think carefully about it!"

When Li Mingchong heard this, he let out a long sigh of relief, and immediately felt admiration. The two gentlemen Wen He and Feng Xiao really knew everything well.

After hearing this, Wen and Wu of the Manchu Dynasty changed from stunned to dumbfounded.

Your Majesty agrees? His Majesty actually agreed?

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was shocked, and immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Jin Wang Xiao Lie's eyes lit up, but then dimmed.

He is self-aware of himself, his eldest son is dead, and now he is the eldest son, but his eldest son has not managed to become the crown prince, so he has a chance as the eldest son?

In a person's life, the most difficult thing is actually self-knowledge.

Wu Wang Xiao Ze also had a look in his eyes, but when he saw Xiao Rui next to him, he couldn't help laughing bitterly, people were afraid of comparison, and it would be embarrassing. He boasted that he was also outstanding, and he didn't like to use conspiracies and tricks. He hoped that he could make more political achievements and let his father see his efforts, but no matter how hard he worked, he could not compare to better people.

At this time, His Majesty said again: "Since Li Aiqing proposed to establish a crown prince, among my several princes, who do you think is the most suitable?"

Li Mingchong really wanted to say it was His Highness King Xian, but would he dare? He absolutely dare not do this!

"Your Majesty, the candidate for the crown prince is the dictatorship of His Majesty's Sacred Heart, and I dare not overstep it!" Li Mingchong said hastily.

Emperor Xia smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, Li Aiqing! I just asked you to express your own opinion, you can speak up as much as you want, if you say something wrong, I forgive you for not being guilty!"

"This..." Li Mingchong hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that His Royal Highness King Xian, the emperor's seventh son, is filial, sincere, gentle and courteous, with a distinguished career and a gentle manner, so he can be the choice of the crown prince. "

Emperor Xia nodded and asked, "What about the others? Do you have any other opinions? Let me speak frankly, and I forgive you for not being guilty!"

When all the civil and military officials looked at each other, Cui Changwen, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, came out and said: "Your Majesty, I think that His Royal Highness King Xian is talented in both civil and military affairs, and he is the candidate for the East Palace to succeed His Majesty's holiness!"

Immediately afterwards, Song Ci, Guo Ziyi and other officials who supported Xiao Rui came forward to speak out, praising Xiao Rui for his virtues, and that he was the candidate for the crown prince.

On the other hand, only a few officials who supported King Jin and King Wu remained silent. With so many officials speaking together, there is already a suspicion of forcing the palace. Could it be that the king of Xian thought that he would be able to force His Majesty because he thought he was sure of winning?

Really overwhelmed!

These few officials wait for His Majesty to be furious!

But…

What happened next left the handful of officials dumbfounded.

Emperor Xia actually nodded his head and said: "Since you all love King Xian so highly, it must be what the people want! I am very pleased! I will think about it carefully."

"Yes!" The official who came out then retreated with his hands clasped.

And those few officials stood there blankly, feeling confused in the wind.

The early court ended, and all the officials withdrew from the court.

When leaving the palace, almost all the officials bid farewell to Xiao Rui, whether they supported him or not. The actions of the early court today and the signal sent by His Majesty have made these officials unable to maintain their previous indifference.

Xiao Rui returned the salute one by one, and when he watched everyone leave, he happened to see Xiao Lie and Xiao Ze who were slowly walking behind.

The two nodded as a greeting.

Xiao Rui smiled back.

The three of them got on their carriages and went back home, and drove in three directions, leading different lives.

When Xiao Rui returned to the mansion, he said to Jia Xu and Guo Jia: "The two gentlemen have made it difficult for me to hide it!"

Jia Xu stroked his beard with a smile and said, "I am deeply sorry, but if His Highness is informed of this matter in advance, His Highness will definitely not agree."

Xiao Rui nodded and said with emotion: "I'm not too cautious, I just feel that my strength is not enough."

Guo Jia reminded: "Your Highness, you are the crown prince first, not the emperor. Your highness' current connections and reputation can support you to enter the East Palace. But to become your majesty, strength is indeed not enough."

Xiao Rui was startled, and then he realized that his positioning was wrong!

If you want to grab the throne and imitate Li Shimin, then your own strength is indeed not enough. Although there are many civil servants and generals who support you, but you have no ability to win the throne, but are you grabbing the throne?

no!

I just want to be a prince!

It doesn't take so much power to be a prince!

Now my ability and qualifications are far superior to other princes, and I have proved that I am outstanding!

Moreover, this was originally His Majesty's idea. Since last year, His Majesty has appointed the prince to serve, isn't it just to let the princes compete and choose the prince?

Now win by yourself and come out on top!

Xiao Rui smiled awkwardly, patted his forehead, and said: "Mr. Wen He, Feng Xiao, it's me who is in trouble!"

Guo Jia and Jia Xu couldn't help laughing too.

At the same time, what happened in the morning spread quickly throughout the capital.

His Majesty is about to establish a crown prince...

King Xian is very likely to enter the East Palace...

These two pieces of news spread all over Kyoto in an instant, becoming the hottest topic at the moment.
