The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Xiao Rui arrogantly came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to ask for salary, but was caught in a trap by His Majesty's few words, and dared not ask for money anymore.

And the meaning of His Majesty's words has already been made clear: Do you want money, and there is a throne, do you dare to ask for it?

Xiao Rui said he didn't dare to ask for it!

But after all, it was his own, and Emperor Xia couldn't be too heartless, so he decided to teach Xiao Rui a way to make money, thinking that teaching people how to fish is worse than giving them fish.

Xiao Rui's eyes brightened, if he could get money from other places, it's fine if he doesn't want to use His Majesty's internal funds. But then, he showed a wary look.

Since it is a way to make money, why doesn't His Majesty make money? How gentle the smile is, like hiding a knife behind your back, hiding a knife in your smile! Therefore, it must be an errand that offends people.

"The emperor is hesitating? If you are hesitating, forget it." Xia Huang sipped tea and leaned back on the armchair, as if he had decided on Xiao Rui.

As soon as Xiao Rui gritted his teeth, he would definitely listen before he said: "I also ask my father to teach my son."

Xia Huangdao: "I appointed you to temporarily take the post of Yushi of Youdu to oversee the army. Although you are back now, the title of Yushi of Youdu has not been removed from you. After all, you still have the important task of clearing the world's fertile land. Deputy Zuo Although Hao Yun, the censor of the capital, inspected the state capital and confiscated many officials who embezzled fertile land and concealed it, but they were all small shrimps he could handle. There are still many places with deep clan roots that Hao Yun can't touch. You As the censor of the right capital, shouldn’t I ask? Some time ago, Wei Zhongxian sent a list from Dongchang. There have always been cliques and selfishness in the court. Many important ministers with important responsibilities protect their families. Close one eye, but if you stretch your hands too far and do things too much, then it won't work. So, you know, Huang'er..."

Xiao Rui's mouth twitched.

Understand?

I understand, I understand, but my father is too insidious, I leave the matter of offending the officials to myself, although I am a little maniac who ransacked the house, but that is not my original intention, let alone attack the officials in Beijing!

How heavy is the important minister who His Majesty said is heavy? I have only been the crown prince for less than a year, so I don't want to offend the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty! Father, if you want to dethrone the crown prince, just say so, don't be a naughty minister!

"Father, my son can search the local clans and officials who disobey the will, but I think it is appropriate for Dongchang to handle the important matter of officials forming a party in Kyoto for personal gain." Xiao Rui said tactfully.

Emperor Xia refused: "Isn't it my idea to do it in Dongchang? It's your idea to do it in the emperor's son."

This is very straightforward, if I don't do it, you will offend others for me.

Xiao Rui was crying. It is difficult to be a man, but even more difficult to be a prince. No wonder Zhao Haizhi will rebel!

Emperor Xia realized that he was cheating on his son again, so he explained: "I am old, if I were ten years younger, these criminals who form cliques for selfishness, take money and pervert the law would have been pushed out and killed. People have passed the age of knowing destiny, and they have seen through many things. , I can’t deter the court and the ministers through killing now, what is needed is a balance. In the past dynasties, forming parties for private interests, factions, and township parties were never eliminated. Killing is not clean, so weigh them and let them do it for What you use is more interesting than fighting and killing."

Xiao Rui was silent, understanding what His Majesty meant.

As the saying goes, when people reach middle age, they have no choice but to soak goji berries in cultivated land once. As the emperor, once the civil and military officials are familiar with the emperor's character, there will be the possibility of derailing the emperor's power.

Throughout the history of previous lives, it is not uncommon.

So Emperor Xia learned a new routine. When he was young, he was decisive in killing and attacking, and the officials did not dare to disobey him. Now that he is older, he starts to play trade-offs, just like Emperor Jiajing who made alchemy in his previous life, he played trade-offs like a thief, and the officials were afraid of themselves. In addition, Emperor Xia is better than Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing knew how to balance things out, but later, the ministers figured out his temperament and began to deceive him. Now that Emperor Xia is playing with trade-offs, it is even more unfathomable, who dares to explain what Emperor Xia is thinking?

only…

Your Majesty, if you don't kill me, you won't let my son do it!

"Father, my son has just sat on the crown prince for half a year." Xiao Rui reminded.

Emperor Xia naturally understood Xiao Rui's worry, and said: "It's okay, go do it boldly, I support you! The sky is falling and there is a tall man to support you. You are the crown prince and my son. I value you so much that I will send you to the palace. Pushing in a fire pit? Isn't it?"

Yes, it is your son, he must be pushed into the fire pit! Xiao Rui slandered in his heart, but he thought over and over again, is it serious to offend the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, or is it serious to have no money?

Well, it's all serious.

"Father, can I ask which officials are suspected of forming a clique for personal gain?" Xiao Rui decided to be more cautious, and see the situation first.

Emperor Xia waved his hand and said, "Sit here and watch slowly, I'm going out for a stroll!"

Hai Dafu on the side presented the list to Xiao Rui.

After Xiao Rui took the list and opened it, the first name made his eyes widen.

Sure enough, he is an important minister with important responsibilities!

If you touch him, it will indeed affect the whole body, but at the same time, if you copy his family, how much money will you have to copy! It's not as good as Heshen, it's okay to have one-fifth of Heshen's wealth!

Xiao Rui thought about it, and finally decided to do it!

After recovering, time has passed for a long time, His Majesty has left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and other internal officials have also stepped down, leaving only Yan Xiaoxiao serving at the side. Xiao Xiao didn't dare to disturb Xiao Rui, and when he saw him come back to his senses, he asked softly: "Is Your Highness short of money?"

Xiao Rui nodded, and said: "The recent expenses are too big, and they are all big money."

Yan Xiaoxiao said apologetically: "The maidservant only has more than five hundred taels, which is all my money. I will send it to the East Palace tomorrow. Don't think it's too little, Your Highness."

"How can I ask for your money!" Xiao Rui's heart warmed, he was still a little caring, looking at his father, he would only cheat himself.

Yan Xiaoxiao said: "My servant knows that this amount of money is a drop in the bucket, but I beg Your Highness to accept it. I don't need money for food and clothing in the palace, and it's useless to keep it!"

Xiao Rui was startled, looked at Yan Xiaoxiao's earnest and firm eyes, nodded, and said with a smile, "Okay! I'll accept it."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Rui's eyes were slightly red.

This situation reminded him of his first love in his previous life. She used to give her savings to her poor self, but it was a pity that fate did not let them go to the end.

If a woman is willing to use her savings to help you, please cherish it.

With a sigh, Xiao Rui can't go back, so cherish the person in front of you.

"Xiao Xiao, did anything happen in the palace while I was away from the capital?" asked.

Yan Xiaoxiao said: "It's nothing serious, it's just that after the empress recovered from her illness, she regained the power of the harem, but the imperial concubine has some opinions, and the two have always had friction."

After hearing this, Xiao Rui's Legend of Zhen Huan, The Legend of Jin Zhi, and Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace immediately popped up in his mind... It was scary even thinking about it. In the future, if I become an emperor myself, if I can't have a stable harem, that would be a sad thing.

"Does anyone still dare to bully you now?" Xiao Rui asked.

Yan Xiaoxiao shook his head, Xiao Rui's concern made him feel as sweet as honey, and said: "No, I have been in the palace for nearly three years, so I can be considered an old man, and I get along well with other people."

After speaking, Yan Xiaoxiao blushed a little.

It's not just that they have a good relationship, they are afraid of her, now Yan Xiaoxiao is the leader of the Palace of Ladies, even the ladies of the Queen and Imperial Concubine's Palace dare not show face to Yan Xiaoxiao, because they are afraid of being slapped in the face by Yan Xiaoxiao!

Xiao Rui nodded and said with a smile: "It's fine if you don't have one. If anyone dares to bully you, tell me, and don't look at who Xiao Xiao is!"

whose people?

Three simple words, but it made Yan Xiaoxiao feel like drinking honey, and her heart was filled with happiness.

It was getting late, and Xiao Rui was about to return to the East Palace. Yan Xiaoxiao thought of something, hesitated for a long time, and said: "Your Highness, there is something that I don't know if I should say it or not."

Xiao Rui nodded and said: "There are no outsiders here, just tell me, I won't blame you if I make a mistake."

Yan Xiaoxiao said: "During this period of time, I have often chatted with Sister Lu Zhi, and I always feel that she is weird and seems to be hiding something. I also heard that although Sister Lu Zhi entered the palace as a female officer, it was Sui Guogong who suggested to His Majesty, but I think , Is there any meaning of Sister Lu Pheasant in this? Could it be that Sister Lu Pheasant loves His Highness, so she is willing to enter the palace as a female official and serve His Highness?"

Yan Xiaoxiao didn't directly express her doubts about Lu Zhi, fearing to arouse Xiao Rui's dislike, so she used indirect methods to arouse Xiao Rui's vigilance.

After going through all kinds of troubles, she found out from Hai Dafu that Lu Zhi's entry into the palace was suggested by Sui Guogong to His Majesty, because only Hai Dafu was with His Majesty that day and knew about it.

Xiao Rui was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "I know, don't worry."

Yan Xiaoxiao couldn't see the content from Xiao Rui's smile, she was a little anxious, but she didn't dare to continue to speak ill of Lu Zhi, but Xiao Rui thought she was jealous.

Then Xiao Rui left the Hall of Mental Cultivation and went to the East Palace.

On the way, Xiao Rui thought about Yan Xiaoxiao's reminder.

After Lu Zhi entered the palace, Xiao Rui became vigilant. It wasn't that he suspected that there was something wrong with Lu Zhi, but that Lu Zhi was a descendant!

Yan Xiaoxiao's words reminded him, it seemed that Xiao Yan had to ask his grandfather who meant that Lu Zhi entered the palace!

Back in the East Palace, Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue were chatting, but what Xiao Rui didn't expect was that Li Xiuer was also there.

"Sister Xiu'er is here." Xiao Rui called out calmly, but he was very excited inside. After leaving for so long, he really misses her.

Li Xiu'er got up to salute, and restrained the throbbing in her heart, she said calmly: "I will visit the empress tonight in the palace, so I will stop by to see the two princesses."

"Oh, so that's the case." Xiao Rui nodded with a smile, his eyes aimed at Li Xiu'er vaguely.

Li Xiu'er didn't dare to look directly into Xiao Rui's eyes, for fear of arousing Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue's suspicion, and at the same time secretly regretted that she didn't hold back her thoughts and came to see him specially.

Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue didn't know what to do, and they talked and laughed to accompany them.

On the other hand, Lu Zhi who was standing by the side looked calm, his eyes moved from Xiao Rui to Li Xiu'er, with deep meaning in his eyes, as if he had a plan in mind.

After seeing Xiao Rui, it was time for Li Xiuer to leave, Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue sent her away.

Only Lu Pheasant and Xiao Rui were left in the room, Lu Pheasant brought Eight Treasures Tea for Xiao Rui, and said, "Your Highness, drink tea!"

Xiao Rui took the teacup, saw that it was Eight Treasures Tea again, and couldn't help but stare at her.

Lu Zhi was not afraid at all, but calmly said: "Although Your Highness is a martial arts practitioner, after returning to Beijing, it is necessary to work hard and replenish your body. The continuation of the royal blood is the greatest."

Xiao Rui looked at Lu Zhi in shock, is this girl driving?

"There is something in your words!" Xiao Rui snorted, and then he became interested, and said deliberately: "I heard...you took the initiative to enter the palace, and deliberately used the excuse of canceling the baby's marriage to come here to serve here? This matter?"

Lu Zhi's breath stagnated, and he asked, "Why did Your Highness say that? Who did you hear from?"

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "It doesn't matter who you listen to. If you don't admit it, I will send someone to ask Duke Jing tomorrow. I think she won't hide it."

Lu Zhi's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he remained silent, unwilling to say more.

Xiao Rui got up, stared at her, and asked, "Apart from Lu Zhi, the daughter of Uncle Ming Yi, who are you?"

Lu Zhi shook his head and said respectfully: "This servant does not understand His Highness's meaning."

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Okay..."

Saying that, Xiao Rui got up and walked out of the teahouse. Before leaving, Xiao Rui said again: "Now think about it, if you harm me, you will have many chances, so I believe you are a good person...Everyone has secrets, yours Secrets interest me very much, and if we are free, we can meet honestly and have in-depth exchanges."

"Bah..." Lu Zhi spat secretly, but no one knew what was going on in his heart.
