The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Xiao Rui stared at Lu Zhi with wide eyes, obviously shocked.

Everything was normal when I left the East Palace in the morning, now that there is one more living person, will the living person change drastically?

Lu Zhi bowed and saluted, and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, His Majesty ordered me to enter the palace as a female official to serve in the East Palace. I hope His Highness will forgive me if I do not do well as a servant in the future."

Xiao Rui was shocked and said: "My royal father let you enter the palace as a female official, and you also come to serve in the East Palace?"

Lu Zhi looked at Xiao Rui quietly, she didn't want to repeat it.

Xiao Rui was puzzled, what does His Majesty mean?

Internal or external?

"Your Highness, please use tea!" Lu Zhi handed over the teacup.

Xiao Rui took a sip of tea from the teacup, with a strange expression on his face. After swallowing, he said, "Miss Lu, it's best to use hot water to make tea in the future, as cold water hurts the stomach."

Lu Zhi apologized: "This is the first time this servant makes tea, and this servant realizes that I made a mistake, so I will go to exchange tea now."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, and the fragrance surged in the swaying.

Xiao Rui looked at the back of Lu Zhi's leaving, and the inexplicable feeling came to his heart again, which made him feel that something was wrong.

Not long after, Lu Zhi made another cup of tea.

Just as Xiao Rui took the tea and was about to taste it, he saw steam coming out of the tea. Xiao Rui asked helplessly, "Is this hot water just boiled?"

Lu Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, I made tea according to His Highness's request, hot water!"

Xiao Rui: ...

A cup of hot tea was left for a long time before Xiao Rui drank it. If he sipped his mouth carelessly just now, it would be scalding hot.

After drinking tea, Xiao Rui was reading in the study, and Lu Zhi knocked on the door again and came in.

"Your Highness, this servant will grind for you!" Lu Zhi said.

Xiao Rui flatly refused: "No need, I want to be quiet, so you can step back."

"But Your Majesty said, let the servants serve you, Your Highness, don't worry, the servants will not disturb you." Lu Zhi said calmly.

Xiao Rui looked at Lu Zhi's pretty face, her expressionless seriousness made Xiao Rui unable to refuse, so he could only nod.

Lu Pheasant walked over step by step, grinding for Xiao Rui himself, Xiao Rui was reading a book while thinking about things, when he thought of something wonderful, he wrote down a few words on paper, while Lu Pheasant stood quietly , just like the air, did not bother Xiao Rui.

At this time, a few words were written on the paper.

"Scholars", "Civilian Group", "Military Officers", "Common People"...

During this period of time, Xiao Rui studied with His Majesty. Although he spent more time reading the memorials every day, Xiao Rui learned a lot from watching, coupled with His Majesty's teachings.

When he went to Xuanzhou to invite Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang introduced the advantages and disadvantages of each country's system. The Great Xia Kingdom adopted the cabinet system, which naturally has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it ensures that the power is in the hands of His Majesty, but the disadvantage is how to contain it once the cabinet becomes too powerful.

The cabinet must have the right to act flexibly in order to share the emperor's worries and problems. If the cabinet is only a proposed function, then all government affairs will still be concentrated on the emperor, and he will not be exhausted. Therefore, it is necessary to contain the power of the cabinet, not suppress it.

Throughout the previous life, the emperor liked to use eunuchs to restrain him, so there was a supervisor of ceremonies to approve the redemption, but what if the two institutions collude and deceive the emperor together?

It's not like this kind of thing hasn't happened in the Ming Dynasty!

In addition, the contradiction between the civil official group and the military commander Xungui is also deepening day by day. How to coordinate the forces of the two parties so that the situation in the late Ming Dynasty does not occur is also a headache.

Second...the people.

Although the sage said: "The people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least", but is this really the case? There are classes in any era, and equality can never be achieved. When people of a class gather together, they become the party of the aristocratic family.

Now the Great Xia Kingdom uses the imperial examination system to select officials, but looking at the candidates on the list each time, how many poor families are there? Your Majesty does not want to emphasize literature over martial arts, and Xiao Rui does not suggest this, because the Song Dynasty in the previous life is a clear example.

If you want to break the stage and break the aristocratic family, the fastest way is to reform the way of selecting officials. When officials are no longer exclusive to the aristocrats and aristocratic families, the situation will be greatly improved.

The imperial examination system cannot be abolished, but the subjects of the imperial examination should be changed. It should not be limited to the Confucianism of the Four Books and Five Classics. Since it is for the selection of officials for the imperial court, the content of the examination should be more comprehensive.

Secondly, with the promotion of bamboo paper and movable clay printing, the price of white paper in Gyeonggi has dropped to one-third of the original price, and the corresponding book prices have also dropped.

Common people can afford books, but many of them can't buy them because they don't know how to read.

Thinking of this, Xiao Rui picked up his pen again and wrote a few words:

"School-Age Education"

"Free Academy"

"National Subsidy"

The era in which Xiao Rui lived in his previous life was a great era. There may still be many problems to be solved in it, but it is sincerely for the people of the world.

Xiao Rui referred to his previous life experience. If preschool education can be promoted in Daxia Kingdom, all children can go to free academies, and all book fees and teacher salaries will be subsidized by the state. Definitely elevated to an extremely high level. In this way, those truly talented people will not be buried between the fields.

Xiao Rui doesn't believe that the people are more important than the king, but he believes that "a strong youth makes a country strong"!

However, if you want to achieve that step, you must spend a lot of money, and you must encounter great obstacles.

So here comes the question again, how to make money?

"Capital plunder"!

After Xiao Rui wrote these four words, he couldn't help but sighed.

The total capital in the world is actually a total amount. In an era without technological innovation, this total amount will not change much. Xiao Rui wants to make Daxia rich, so he must plunder it from other places. There is too much economics involved. , Xiao Rui had a headache just thinking about it. And in the simplest sentence, grab other people's things to develop yourself!

How did little Great Britain develop so that the sun never sets?

Loot!

Now that Shen Wansan has completed the voyage, with experience, Xiao Rui's small troubles can be promoted to trade at the national level, and even colonization and plunder in the future.

When capital from all over the world flows into Daxia, those dreams in front will also have the capital to realize.

...

Before he knew it, a piece of paper was filled with Xiao Rui's thoughts.

Lu Zhi stood aside, quietly looking at the content on the paper, some things he couldn't understand, but there were many things he could understand, and some things he could comprehend. Especially the sentence that a strong youth makes a country strong, which reveals such a heroic ambition.

Your Majesty today is a wise emperor. He has created an eternal prosperity and made the people prosperous. Now he is cultivating this person wholeheartedly.

And the young man in front of him is wise, intelligent, sinister, and ruthless... He is like a young tiger, with fangs and claws already grown, he will inherit this prosperous world and lead it to a more glorious future.

At this moment, Lu Zhi felt the pride and ambition in Xiao Rui's heart, with mixed feelings in his heart, quietly looking at Xiao Rui's side face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Before I knew it, it was getting dark.

The maid prepared the meal, and Xiao Rui went to the dining hall to eat.

In the past in Prince Xian's Mansion, Xiao Rui always ate at the same table with Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Li Yuanfang. Although this was against the rules, it was Xiao Rui's last habit from his previous life.

But since entering the palace, he can only eat alone.

Eating alone is really boring.

At this time, there was only Lu Zhi in the dining hall, Xiao Rui said on a whim, "Sit down and eat together."

Lu Zhi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, and said, "Yes!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Zhi pulled out the chair and sat on Xiao Rui's right hand side.

She had just entered the palace, so she didn't know much about etiquette in the palace, or she didn't have any fear of imperial power in her heart.

Xiao Rui also felt that someone was eating with her, so Xiao Rui also felt that it was a little more lively, so he picked up a piece of mutton, put it on her plate, and said with a smile: "It feels good to eat with someone!"

Lu Zhi looked at the mutton on the plate and said softly, "Thank you."

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "You have entered the palace, what about your sister Lu Su?"

"She is temporarily staying in the Yasukuni Mansion," Lu Zhi said.

Xiao Rui nodded and said: "If you don't want to stay in the palace, I can ask His Majesty to let you out. After all, you are Uncle Mingyi's daughter, and my father will definitely agree."

Lu Zhi said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, I am willing to stay in the palace."

Xiao Rui smiled and didn't ask any more questions, but Lu Zhi is a descended character. Although descended characters will integrate into this world and have no memory of previous lives, they have their original character, character and ability.

Lu Zhi, this strange woman, is by no means simple!

But after thinking about it again, even if it is not a descendant, there may be other Zhang Zhi, Liu Zhi... Lu Zhi has neither loyalty nor entanglement value, has nothing to do with him, and cannot be used by him, so why worry about it?

Thinking of this, Xiao Rui asked in his heart: "System, female characters don't have loyalty and entanglement value, so does it really have nothing to do with me?"

System: "Ah... the host is right!"

Xiao Rui asked suspiciously: "You didn't lie to me?"

System: "When did my excellent system fool the host?"

Xiao Rui nodded. She opened the system page and found that among the missions, there was only Lu Zhi's introduction, and there was still no loyalty or entanglement value.

He was relieved.

The system also breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly disappeared.

"Come on, eat more, your condition is still not cured." Xiao Rui picked up the vegetables again and put them on Lu Zhi's plate.

Lu Zhi thanked him and ate quietly.

And at this moment, Li Yuanfang notified: "Your Highness, Miss Yan is asking to see you!"

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Let her in!"

Yan Xiaoxiao is also resting today. The last time Xiao Rui had no intention of saying that the food in the palace was bland, she remembered it in her heart. Today she went to the imperial dining room and served mutton with prickly ash, ginger and pepper. After a busy half day, she cooked some Meat sauce, specially delivered.

Entering the dining hall, Yan Xiaoxiao, who was smiling, suddenly saw Lu Zhi sitting there eating, her smile froze, and her footsteps stopped at the same time.

Xiao Rui waved his hand and said, "Xiao Xiao, have you eaten yet?"

"No." Yan Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and said, "The servant made some spicy meat sauce."

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Really? I want to have a good taste, you can sit down and eat together, there are no outsiders here."

Yan Xiaoxiao nodded and continued to walk over, but her beautiful eyes were sizing up Lu Zhi.

In the same way, Lu Zhi was also observing Yan Xiaoxiao, and when she first came in, he couldn't help admiring that there is such a beautiful woman in the world.

But soon, Lu Zhi sensed the hostility.

After Yan Xiaoxiao sat down, she smiled at Lu Zhi, "Hello, sister! Where is my sister on duty?"

Lu Zhi smiled and said: "I just entered the palace today, and I am on duty in the East Palace."

"Ah?" Yan Xiaoxiao's eyes widened suddenly, which was beyond her expectation. How much she looked forward to serving in the East Palace, but now she was taken first.

Xiao Rui explained: "Xiao Xiao, this is Lu Zhi, the daughter of Uncle Ming Yi, the emperor specially summoned her to the palace."

Then he introduced to Lu Zhi: "This is Yan Xiaoxiao, who is on duty in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Lu Zhi laughed and said, "I've heard of her name. To be able to be a pen-holding female officer in the Hall of Mental Cultivation must be trusted by His Majesty."

Yan Xiaoxiao replied: "Sister Lu Pheasant is serious. I will enter the palace a little earlier. If there is anything wrong with my sister, feel free to tell me."

"Okay!" Lu Zhi said with a smile.

Xiao Rui tasted the meat sauce. In the era when there was no chili pepper, only pepper and ginger were used as the spicy effect, but the taste was very good.

"Xiaoxiao's craftsmanship is really good, let's eat a piece of meat." Xiao Rui picked up a piece of mutton for Yan Xiaoxiao.

Yan Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "Your Highness, servants come by themselves. Eating at the same table is a great sin of passing over. If someone sees you, you need to be punished according to the law, so how dare servants bother Your Highness to bring food?"

Lu's pheasant paused when she picked up the vegetables, and she immediately heard Yan Xiaoxiao's beating, but she continued to eat without changing her expression.

This is the East Palace, as long as the prince is willing, naturally nothing will happen.

Xiao Rui didn't think too much about it, and continued to pick up vegetables, and said with a smile: "It's okay, eat more, you look thin."

Yan Xiaoxiao looked at her chest, then at Lu Zhi's, feeling a little annoyed.

I am really thin.

"It turns out that His Highness likes fatter ones." Yan Xiaoxiao immediately ate meat, he wanted to gain weight.

After dinner, Xiao Rui moved into the living room.

Although Yan Xiaoxiao didn't want to leave, she had to leave. She looked at Lu Zhi eagerly, full of envy. She was so happy to stay in the East Palace.

"Your Highness, this servant will leave." Yan Xiaoxiao said reluctantly.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Go back, rest earlier, I should rest after bathing."

As soon as these words came out, Yan Xiaoxiao couldn't move.

She looked at Lu Zhi who was serving, and a picture suddenly popped up in her mind.

In the quiet and warm room, a large wooden barrel was filled with steaming hot water. Lu Zhi took off His Highness's coat, waited on the side, scooped up hot water with a wooden spoon, and poured it on His Highness.

"Your Highness, do you still need to add water?" Lu Zhi's face was shy, like a peach blossom blooming in early March.

A smile appeared on His Highness's handsome face: "There is no need to add water, but this king needs a back rub? Would you like it?"

"This is what a servant should do!" Lu Zhi didn't dare to look up.

...

"Xiao Xiao, what's the matter?" Seeing Yan Xiaoxiao in a daze, Xiao Rui couldn't help shouting.

Only now did Yan Xiaoxiao come back to her senses, it turned out that she was just thinking wildly!

But she didn't care so much, and said quickly: "Your Highness, it's cold today, don't take a bath!"

Xiao Rui frowned, always felt that Yan Xiaoxiao was weird today, but couldn't describe what was going on.
