The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

One night later, the news that the prince Xiao Rui colluded with the rebels and organized to eradicate dissidents and assassinate the prince spread all over the capital. The people were in an uproar and the officials were horrified.

And as His Majesty ordered the three divisions to interrogate, this matter has become the biggest topic since the Chinese New Year, which is more intense than the conquest of Zhao Guo!

On the Daxia Daily in the morning, the front page was an article: "Rumours stop with wise men"!

The article focuses on the harm caused to a person by gossip and framing, coupled with the current hot topic, and the driving force behind Daxia Daily is His Royal Highness, so the people and officials think that this is the prince using the newspaper to self-destruct. Proof of innocence!

And this move also made Ruyang King relax his vigilance. Because in his opinion, Xiao Rui was driven into a hurry, so he started to use newspapers to control public opinion by all means, so as to clear his charges and evade his relationship with the Yang organization.

This kind of behavior is indeed effective, but in the eyes of His Majesty, he must also believe that the prince has something to do with the Yang organization!

How could Xiao Rui's three counselors not understand this? Playing this one is to make the play more similar.

At this time, the Xianwang Mansion.

As Xiao Rui's former palace, it is still his property now. Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Zhang Liang are still living here, and the three of them are meeting Jing Feng in the living room.

The agreement reached between King Ruyang and Jing Feng is that Zhong Ling and Wu Yazi are willing to sacrifice and slander Xiao Rui, but they must guarantee Jing Feng's safety and freedom, and hand over the bronze dragon pillar to Jing Feng after the matter is completed!

Both Zhong Ling and Wu Yazi were cultivated by the Yang organization since childhood. Their belief is to reproduce the glory of the Mohists. On the contrary, they don't care about their lives, so what about sacrifices?

King Ruyang needed to make use of Jing Feng, so naturally he did not put him under house arrest.

However, King Ruyang underestimated Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Zhang Liang, and the three of them had secretly captured Jing Feng back.

"If the three want to threaten Wu Yazi with my life, there is no need to do so. I share the same belief with them, and we are not afraid of death." Jing Feng said.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Your Yang organization keeps saying that you are cooperating with His Highness the Crown Prince, but now you are coaxed by King Ruyang to betray you directly, tsk tsk, no wonder Mohist will perish!"

Jing Feng remained silent.

Morally speaking, their organization does not have principles.

At the beginning, supporting the King of Chu and making suggestions for the King of Chu was a close relationship. Later, when he saw that Xiao Rui had an ink box, he immediately wanted to cooperate with Xiao Rui. It was just now that they were on their honeymoon together, and they began to fall into the arms of King Ruyang again.

This behavior is too low!

Back then, the Mohists believed in and loved non-gong, and they really cared about the world and pursued the harmony of the world, but now they have completely changed their taste.

Even Jing Feng didn't know when he became like this.

Jia Xu also understood that there was no way to threaten him, so she looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia opened the wooden box on the table, and took out the bronze box from it, which is the bronze dragon pillar in the mouth of Yang Organization!

"What's the use of this thing, let the craftsman melt him!" Guo Jia said with a smile.

When Jing Feng saw the bronze dragon pillar, he stood up abruptly, and then stared at the bronze dragon pillar with dull eyes, unable to speak a word.

"That's why I say you are stupid! You don't even see if King Ruyang has what you need, so you support him desperately, tsk tsk..." Jia Xu couldn't help but sneered.

Jing Feng opened his mouth, really wanting to slap himself, the kind that bleeds!

After a long time, Jing Feng sighed and asked, "Sir, what do you need me to do?"

...

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the atmosphere was not as oppressive as imagined.

Emperor Xia and Xiao Rui each held a cup of tea, which was brewed by Yan Xiaoxiao himself. As the tea was fragrant, Emperor Xia asked: "Tomorrow, the three divisions will have a joint trial. Have you prepared your arguments and evidence?"

"My son is innocent, the pure will be clear, and the turbid will be muddy, so I haven't prepared any arguments or evidence! I believe that with his excellent character, morality, accomplishment, quality, and handsomeness, he will definitely be able to influence this group of rebels." , let them tell the truth, how did they slander my ministers!" Xiao Rui said solemnly.

Emperor Xia nodded, and said: "You are so confident, it seems that you have been slandered, and you can solve it best. As a prince, you are the target of a group attack. If you don't have the ability and courage to block the danger, you will also You are not worthy to be a prince! I can make you a prince, but I cannot guarantee you to be a prince forever. Whether you can sit in this position safely depends on yourself, and I have to follow the rules. There is no right or wrong in such things , and there is no distinction between insidious and vicious, they are all just means, when you have truly secured the position of crown prince, it is time for you to be able to inherit the throne."

After hearing this, Xiao Rui was greatly moved.

His Majesty should not have said these words, because the enemies Xiao Rui faced were too complicated, including relatives who were related by blood! What should I do with my relatives? About family affection and benevolence? His Majesty taught him the method, there is no right or wrong method, and there is no difference between insidious and ruthless, they are all ways.

There is a price to pay for doing great things.

The time came to the next day, the time for the joint trial of the three divisions.

Xiao Rui asked Xiahuang for leave, and under the protection of the prince's personal guards, he went to Dali Temple for the first time with the prince's guard of honor.

In Dali Temple, Yue Chong, who is the Minister of Dali Temple, is waiting in front of the gate of Dali Temple in person. Just now, he had welcomed Hao Yun from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Song Ci from the Ministry of Punishment. It was no surprise that these two accompanied him in the interrogation of the three divisions. But next, when Jin Wang Xiao Lie and Jing Wang Xiao Jing, the two princes declared that the case involved the crown prince, they must come to join them as brothers. It's just that this flattery is for the assassin, or for the prince?

Yue Chong didn't dare to ask.

Later, even Xiao Mingying, the old prince of the Clan Mansion, came. The case involved the Crown Prince, and the Clan Mansion had to participate.

Yue Chong didn't dare to say much, and respectfully invited the old prince into Dali Temple.

Now, the only thing missing is His Royal Highness.

While Yue Chong was extremely anxious, Xiao Rui's carriage arrived.

When Xiao Rui got off the carriage, he saw Yue Chong coming forward, and said respectfully: "My minister Dali Temple Qing Yue Chong, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Please excuse Your Highness the Crown Prince to condescend to Dali Temple today, I am deeply terrified."

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Master Yue hasten to waive the ceremony. Today, the three divisions will interrogate, and you have to trouble Mr. Yue to uphold justice! Whether this king is innocent or not depends entirely on Mr. Yue to cleanse!"

"His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince is seriously serious. Today, the three divisions will hold a joint trial. I will definitely enforce the law impartially and fully cooperate with Lord Hao and Lord Song!" Yue Chong said in a hurry, and quickly pushed Hao Yun and Song Ci out.

Xiao Rui nodded and said with a smile: "Master Du from the Metropolitan Procuratorate sent Mr. Hao here? Mr. Song from the Ministry of Punishment? I've heard that these two lords enforce the law impartially and strictly discipline themselves. I believe they will be able to find out the truth." What do you think, Mr. Yue?"

"Yes yes yes..." Yue Chong scolded Du Shaonian secretly in his heart, this guy is so insidious, he didn't come by himself, he specially sent Hao Yun here.

Afterwards, Yue Chong led the way and invited Xiao Rui into the official office of Dali Temple.

When Xiao Rui walked into the courtroom, he saw the crowd and said with a smile: "It's really lively today, so many people are here."

Although they were very willing, Xiao Lie, Xiao Jing and the others saluted first and said respectfully, "Meet Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Rui is the crown prince and the heir apparent, this is courtesy.

Xiao Rui returned the gift.

At this time, Zhou Wang Xiao Mingying explained: "Last night, His Majesty sent an oral order to let me come to see the trial process of the case."

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "My nephew knows that my father mentioned this matter yesterday and said that my uncle was invited to watch to avoid wrongful cases. With an elder like my uncle here, my nephew is not afraid of being wronged or bullied. "

As soon as these words came out, the smiles of the others remained unchanged, only the corners of Xiao Lie's eyes twitched, and Xiao Jing even let out a cold snort, and the two showed the retching in their hearts.

Xiao Mingying smiled and said: "Prince, don't worry, justice lies in people's hearts, and no innocent person will be wronged!"

Xiao Rui nodded, and looked at Xiao Lie and Xiao Jing again. Especially Xiao Jing, since he was injured by an arrow, he lived in a simple place, and this time he heard that he could deal with him, so he saw him. It seemed that the brotherhood was lost in an instant.

"What is King Jing doing these days? He's been haggard a lot, are his legs better?" Xiao Rui said with a smile, which pot he didn't open and which pot he was carrying.

Xiao Jing's face was gloomy for an instant, Xiao Rui's words were like tearing open his freshly scarred wound, and instantly sprinkled some sea salt and cumin.

Xiao Lie also laughed, he just likes to watch the enemy bite each other, the enemy's pain is his own joy.

Who knows, Xiao Rui turned his head to look at Xiao Lie again, and asked: "Prince Jin, how is my little nephew? Why don't you send him to the palace, I'm helping to teach him!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Lie raised his brows angrily, he who was usually bookish, unexpectedly looked angry, and said in a low voice: "Prince, don't go too far!"

Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment.

Fuck! Is Xiao Lie crazy? Did I say something wrong?

The conscience of heaven and earth, I care about my little nephew without any selfishness. After all, I taught them to lie last time, and now I can't bear to think about it, so I care about it.

What did I do wrong?

Why is Xiao Lie so irritable? And I am too much, where am I too much? I haven't done anything to my sister-in-law, so I can be absolutely sure that my nephew is definitely a nephew!

Before Xiao Rui could speak, King Zhou Xiao Mingying reminded: "Prince Jin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cares about his nephew, how can you be so rude? Is this the attitude that a courtier and an elder brother should have?"

Xiao Lie gritted his teeth, cupped his hands and apologized: "Prince, I offended you, please forgive me."

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Prince Jing loves his son very much, and this king understands."

Yue Chong on the side saw the right moment and immediately changed the subject: "His Royal Highness, lords, the time for promotion has come..."

"Then don't waste everyone's time, the three divisions will interrogate." Xiao Rui nodded, then walked under the courtroom and sat on the left side.

Xiao Mingying, Xiao Lie, and Xiao Jing sat on the right side, then Dali Temple sat under the plaque hanging high in the mirror, and Hao Yun and Song Ci sat on the left and right.

Everyone sat down, Yue Chong picked up the gavel and let it fall softly: "Pa!"

"Ascension!"

It was the first time for the servants on both sides to see Mr. Yue so gentle. In the past, they used to regard the gavel tree as killing their father and enemy, and knocked it deafeningly.

"Mighty..." The yamen servants were stunned for a few seconds before they hurriedly hit the water and fire sticks.

Yue Chong coughed, and said: "Today, by the order of His Majesty, the third division will interrogate the rebel Yang organization! Dongchang has already handed over the confession and criminal evidence of the rebel Yang organization to Dali Temple. Today, the third division will conduct a joint trial and thoroughly investigate. Yang organization charges!"

After finishing speaking, Yue Chong glanced at Hao Yun and Song Ci, and asked, "Do you two adults have any objections?"

"No!" Hao Yun and Song Ci shook their heads.

Yue Chong glanced at Xiao Rui's four princes again, then patted the gavel, and shouted: "Then take the prisoner!"

Afterwards, the yamen servants brought Wu Yazi, Zhong Ling and others into the court.

Yue Chong shouted: "The criminal under the hall is a member of the Rebellion Yang organization? Hurry up and report your name!"

Wu Yazi was dressed in a tattered Taoist robe, and he was not as free and easy as before. He said: "Wu Yazi, a grassroots man, indeed comes from the Yang organization!"

"Grassman Zhong Ling is also from the Yang organization!"

"Grassman Wangmin, from the Yang organization!"

…

Twelve people truthfully disclosed their identities.

The members of the Yang organization are scattered all over the place. Although the Jiren Academy is the headquarters of the Yang organization, there cannot be too many people to avoid attracting the attention of others. Therefore, only five or six people protect Jingfeng, so that they can hide for so long without being noticed by outsiders. .

Even now, Jing Feng, Wu Yazi and Zhong Ling don't know how they leaked their identities. Because in the past, they would not go to Jiren Academy to meet at all, but this time they met at Jiren Academy because Qin Ming came to the capital.

Yue Chong picked up the confession, and said: "In the East Factory, you have confessed, admitted to assassinating Daxia officials, and sent someone to assassinate His Royal Highness King Jin, is there such a thing?"

"Yes! We plead guilty!" Wu Yazi and Zhong Ling nodded, and the two admitted again, and did not turn over their confessions.

Yue Chong nodded, and said: "Very good! Since you have confessed to the assassination of the imperial court official and the emperor's relatives, and there is no phenomenon of torture, you can sign and pledge after the meeting, and the evidence for this crime is conclusive!"

At this time, Jin Wang Xiao Lie said: "Master Yue, there must be a reason for these traitors to assassinate the imperial court officials and this king! I heard that they were identified as being under the command of the current crown prince, and the evidence is convincing! Your Majesty's arrangement The joint trial of the three divisions must be to investigate this matter, Mr. Yue can't pretend to be ignorant!"

"That's right! Everyone is here today, not for your interrogation, but for the crown prince to be innocent." Xiao Jing sarcastically said.

Xiao Rui snorted: "Of course my king is innocent! Master Yue, let's start, this king wants to see how this group of rebels slandered me!"

Yue Chong nodded, and immediately asked: "Prisoner, you threatened to assassinate the imperial court official and His Highness the Prince of Jin under the order of His Highness the Crown Prince. Is there such a thing? I advise you to be frank and lenient. If you slander, it is a crime." Genocide!"

Hao Yun also shouted: "That's right! Be honest and be lenient! Who ordered you to do what you did?"

"Boldly speak out, the three of you are investigating under His Majesty's order, and His Highness the Crown Prince and the three princes are still sitting in the hall! Who are you instigated by? We can all make decisions for you!" Song Ci also shouted.

Xiao Lie and Xiao Jing were stunned for a moment, they both knew that Hao Yun and Song Ci belonged to the prince, but hearing the tone of the two, how could they wish that the prisoner would tell the truth quickly and identify the prince! Did they get it wrong?

Xiao Rui drank tea, watched Wu Yazi and Zhong Ling quietly, waiting for their performance!

At this moment, Wu Yazi burst into tears and shouted: "The three adults are also invited to be the masters of the sinner! It is not His Royal Highness who ordered us to kill officials and assassinate the prince! His Royal Highness is charitable, noble, handsome and unrestrained , Suave and suave, serving the country and the people, punishing the strong and supporting the weak, being upright and brave... How could such a good prince do such a thing?"

Zhong Ling also wailed: "We were threatened by others to wrong His Highness the Crown Prince! During this period of time, we have suffered in our hearts. Today, seeing His Highness the Crown Prince with our own eyes, I feel even more ashamed, so I don't want to be threatened again, and I am willing to tell the truth!"

...

Wu Yazi and Zhong Ling's best actor are upper body, immediately withdraw their confessions!

This situation caused everyone present to look at each other in blank dismay, especially Xiao Lie and Xiao Jing, who stood up abruptly with astonishment on their faces.

Just reverse the confession? Didn't even make it into a trick, just retracted the confession?

In addition, Wu Yazi, what the hell are you trying to do if you retract your confession, and even brag about the prince! What do you mean!

Tease us!

At this time, Xiao Rui actually sighed sincerely: "Although this king is very good, I never thought that just by virtue of his handsome skin and excellent character, two sinners who have committed serious crimes will come to their senses and tell the truth! Could it be because of being handsome?" Subdue the enemy without fighting?"

"Impossible!" Xiao Jing said angrily, pointing at Wu Yazi and Zhong Ling, he said angrily, "Did you have to withdraw your confession because of threats!"

Wu Yazi solemnly said: "The reason why the sinner retracted his confession was because he didn't want the real culprit to go unpunished. We've come to our senses, and please Your Highness and Your Excellency to look into it!"

Xiao Jing said angrily: "But the physical evidence you have provided, and now you have to retract the confession, it is very likely that you have been coerced!"

Xiao Rui was furious, he slapped the table and stood up, shouting: "King Jing, do you really think that the crown prince is the mastermind behind the scenes? You are so courageous! The emperor ordered the third department to interrogate, and the chief of the third department is here. Why are you yelling like this? Do you want to make the decision for the chief of the third department?"

Xiao Mingying also shouted: "King Jing, sit down! Otherwise, don't blame me for inviting you out!"

Xiao Jing snorted coldly angrily, and sat down directly.

Yue Chong wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He knew that today's interrogation would be full of twists and turns, but he didn't expect that the case would be overturned before the twists and turns started.

Having said that, how could His Highness the Crown Prince be slandered?

Yue Chong looked at the scene a little coldly, so he asked, "Criminals, are you sure you want to retract your confession?"

"Yes!" Wu Yazi and Zhong Ling replied.

Yue Chong said: "Since the confession is to be retracted, how can we explain the evidence that slandered His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Wu Yazi said respectfully: "Those evidences are all false evidences of people behind the scenes planting and setting the blame, and the Mo Yang box was also stolen by us sneaking into Xianwang's mansion."

Yue Chong shouted: "Then who is the real person behind the scenes? Come from the truth!"

Wu Yazi shouted: "Report to my lord, it is King Ruyang!"

"who?"

Yue Chong felt that his ears were ringing, but he didn't react.

Xiao Rui reminded with a smile: "Lord Yue, the rebels under the hall said that the real person behind the scenes is King Ruyang!"

Yue Chong: ...

Why did you pull out King Ruyang who is the head of the four kings?

Holy crap, today's joint trial between the three divisions is doomed to something big!

Even King Xiao Mingying of Zhou was astonished. The loyal and loyal King Ruyang turned out to be behind the scenes?

Xiao Lie and Xiao Jing were also confused, which statement of these rebels was true and which statement was false?

Yue Chong turned his head to look at Xiao Rui, and then at Xiao Mingying. At this moment, he didn't know how to judge the case.

It was still Xiao Mingying who was old-fashioned and asked: "The prisoner, you say that the person behind the scenes is King Ruyang, do you have evidence?"

"Sinners have no evidence." Both Wu Yazi and Zhong Ling shook their heads.

Xiao Mingying said: "Since there is no evidence, how do you know what you said is true!"

Yue Chong asked: "Prince Zhou, what should we do now? Should we use punishment?"

Xiao Mingying looked at Xiao Rui and asked, "What does His Royal Highness think?"

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Uncle Emperor, now that the criminal has retracted his confession, the king's innocence can be cleared. But now that the criminal has accused King Ruyang of instigating him, should he also invite King Ruyang to come to Dali Temple to participate in the investigation? But...because The identification of the traitor has caused several princes and county kings to go to war, what a joke, if it spreads, they think we are being played around. So this king, please Your Majesty to decide on this matter."

"It's reasonable! Master Yue, then sign the matter of today's interrogation, and then report the truth to His Majesty." Xiao Mingying suggested.

Yue Chong was so eager to do so, he quickly stood up and answered.

Xiao Rui smiled, bid farewell to everyone, and returned to the palace.

Getting Wu Yazi and Zhong Ling to retract their confessions and clear Xiao Rui's suspicion is the first step, and wronging King Ruyang is the second step. But now I also know that Wu Yazi's confession alone cannot convict King Ruyang at all. But why do you still have to identify King Ruyang?

The purpose of Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Zhang Liang is to let His Majesty see the problem of King Ruyang!

After all, from the very beginning, this was the trick that King Ruyang set up, but now the trick set up not only failed to hurt Xiao Rui, but exposed him instead. How smart is His Majesty today, if you think about it before and after, you will guess that King Ruyang is setting up a trap.

Once His Majesty begins to suspect, King Ruyang, who has been hiding for so long, will reveal his true colors!

Therefore, this is Xiao Rui's intention of asking the three divisions to interrogate.
