The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Now that he understands His Majesty's intentions, Xiao Rui knows how to do it properly. If you are not afraid of doing things, you are afraid of doing wrong things with the wrong intention. If you work in the wrong direction, even if you work very hard, you will still be labeled as "stupid".

So this is a good thing to have a counselor.

Since having four top counselors, Xiao Rui has become more and more fond of asking counselors about matters big and small. It's not that he's lazy, because a person's thinking is not comprehensive, and mistakes are prone to occur. Secondly, he is also afraid of guessing wrong meanings. The environment is not the same as before, so Xiao Rui can't help but relax and be careless.

When Xiao Rui was a secretary in his previous life, he needed to always figure out what the leader meant, such as going to a massage. If the leader fell in love with the slim No. 2, he would mistakenly choose the plump No. 3. Wouldn't that be troublesome? Toss the old bones to pieces? Once you choose the old aunt No. 4, then let it go obediently.

So it's very important to do the right thing.

Since it was Wei Zhongxian who provided the evidence that revealed that Yang Feiyuan was suspected of forming a clique for personal gain, then you might as well meet him. Counting the time, Xiao Rui hasn't seen Wei Zhongxian for a long time. After learning the trick of Zhao Gaogao, Zeng's inner court secretary, he asked the maid to feed him some grapes, and his adopted son collected a lot, enough for three tables of mahjong.

Is Wei Zhongxian inflated?

No, this is Wei Zhongxian's cleverness.

He has both ability and performance problems, so he can secure the position of Dongchang's handprint. You know, he was not from Hai Dafu at the beginning, and if he wanted Hai Dafu not to replace him, he not only had to do things well and efficiently, but also had to put his handle in Hai Dafu's hands, so that he could Only by reassuring Hai Dafu can he keep his position.

Hai Dafu is like a grandson in front of Xiao Rui, being bullied all day long, but dealing with Wei Zhongxian is like crushing an ant, so Wei Zhongxian can't help but not take it seriously.

Jia Xu has always been in contact with Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian asked to see Xiao Rui many times to show his loyalty, but Jia Xu refused. There is indeed nothing that can use him now, and secondly, I am afraid of arousing His Majesty's vigilance.

Jia Xu is used to Yin and Yin, and has developed the habit of being careful everywhere. He dare not forget the truth that there is no impenetrable wall in the world, not to mention that the secret of Xiao Rui's relationship with Dongchang has been disclosed by Duan Wang Xiaofeng and Ruyang Wang. It is learned that too much contact is likely to be used by the two.

In order to make money this time, Xiao Rui asked Jia Xu to inform Wei Zhongxian.

Still in the underground secret room of Prince Xian's mansion, a familiar place, Xiao Rui saw Wei Zhongxian who hurried over. It was late autumn, and Wei Zhongxian was sweating profusely. It could be seen that he had run very hard.

This is attitude.

The leader summoned him, and immediately rushed over without stopping. After Wei Zhongxian arrived, he must have rested outside for a while to calm down his breathing and avoid bumping into His Royal Highness before entering the house.

Look, it's intentional.

So there are so many eunuchs, why Wei Zhongxian can reach nine thousand years old is not unreasonable!

"Slave Maid Wei Zhongxian, pay homage to Your Highness, Your Highness is blessed and safe!" Wei Zhongxian actually knelt on the ground and worshiped, it seemed that he saw Xiao Rui for the first time in a few months, and his eyes were filled with tears, and his eyes were wet .

Look, this is acting, playing the emotional card.

Just such a dog leg, if anyone likes to reuse it.

Xiao Rui stretched out his hand to signal, and said with a smile: "Master Wei, please come, it's really hard work to invite you here during your busy schedule, please sit down and have a cup of tea."

"His Royal Highness summoned, and the slaves came here in a hurry. They wanted to drive a horse but were afraid that the horse might attract attention by running in the street. In the end, they had no choice but to take a carriage. It was so late. I hope Your Highness will forgive me." Wei Zhongxian dared to sit down , stood respectfully by the side, and bowed in response.

Xiao Rui was just being polite, if he really sat down, Xiao Rui would be angry.

"This time I invited Lord Wei to come here because I heard His Majesty mention Yang Kaiyuan, Lord Yang formed a party for personal gain, and it happened that I was also the censor of Youdu, so His Majesty asked me to investigate and investigate. I heard that you reported the situation, you Do you have more detailed evidence?" Xiao Rui asked.

Wei Zhongxian responded: "It is true that the servants presented the evidence of Mr. Yang's crimes. As for the evidence of Yang Kaiyuan's forming a party for personal gain, the servants also have some of the evidence. The servants sent someone to send it in the afternoon. It's just..."

Seeing his hesitation, Xiao Rui asked, "What? Is it convenient for Mr. Wei to tell you?"

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said respectfully: "I dare not, I dare not. I dare not hide the truth from Your Highness. In fact, the investigation of Yang Kaiyuan's criminal evidence was arranged by Master Zhang Yin, and the servant found out during the investigation that although Yang Kaiyuan was suspected of forming a party to protect the family behind him, , but the plot is not serious, it is very difficult to bring down Yang Kaiyuan."

After all, Yang Kaiyuan is a scholar of the cabinet and minister of the official department, and has many connections. If he wants to convict him without a major crime, Xiao Rui has to weigh it even if he is the prince.

However, Xiao Rui already understood His Majesty's intentions, and he just found an excuse to drive Yang Feiyuan out of the cabinet, ignoring political affairs, and secondly, earning a lot of money from the Yang family behind him. There is no great sin required to do these two things. But Wei Zhongxian's words also reminded Xiao Rui. Directly attacking Yang Kaiyuan will arouse the vigilance of the civil and military ministers of the court. They all have intricate relationships, and often affect the whole body.

So Xiao Rui shouldn't directly pick faults from Yang Kaiyuan's forming a party to protect his family, he should do the opposite, picking troubles from Yang's family and implicating Yang Kaiyuan, in this case, it won't be such a problem.

"Wei Zhongxian, do you have reliable spies in Chang'an, can you find out for me what crimes the Yang family has committed." Xiao Rui asked.

Wei Zhongxian said respectfully: "Your Highness, don't worry, we will make arrangements immediately after the servants return."

Xiao Rui nodded and said with a smile: "Okay! Master Wei's loyalty is in my heart, and I will not be stingy with rewards in the future."

"Thank you, Your Highness, the servant girl will take her leave first." Wei Zhongxian retreated respectfully.

With Dongchang's investigation, it is easy to find out the Yang family's problems. It is a pity that Hao Yun's inspection of the state capital is not in the capital, otherwise it would be better to let him do this, so Xiao Rui has to make a plan for who will be responsible now. two.

When they returned to the East Palace, the Crown Princess Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue just came back from the Tang Palace. The two women went to be lobbyists, but they shook their heads and sighed, and the situation seemed to be not good.

Zhuge Liuying said: "Sister Ruoxue and I chatted for a long time after meeting Princess Tang before we brought up the topic of Concubine Tang, but Princess Tang was very firm and threatened that if His Royal Highness Tang dared to marry Concubine Side, she would dare to marry Concubine Side." I became an orphan and a widow with the child in my belly! So my sister and I didn't dare to say too much, for fear of arousing her suspicion."

Li Ruoxue nodded and said, "Yes! Princess Tang can't move her baby now, Your Highness, what should I do about this?"

Xiao Rui scratched his head, he really didn't expect that Kong Xun'er's attitude was so firm, he really wanted to laugh, haha, Xiao Yan, you will end up today too!

The schadenfreude belongs to the schadenfreude, busy people still have to be busy, Xiao Rui found Jia Xu and asked him to give advice.

When Jia Xu heard about this, he immediately became interested and said: "It is better to tear down ten temples than to destroy a family. If Jia can achieve this marriage, it will be a good story. I will leave this matter to my subordinates." , Your Highness, please rest assured. However, this matter still requires the full cooperation of His Highness Tang Wang."

Xiao Rui said: "You go directly to King Tang, and after explaining your intentions, he will respect you as his guest, haha..."

"Yes!" Jia Xu immediately went to Tang Palace.

Time passed and it was afternoon, so Xiao Rui returned to the East Palace, and when he was approaching the Meridian Gate, he happened to bump into Lord Yasukuni's carriage, and Lord Yasukuni got off the carriage and was about to enter the palace.

Xiao Rui shouted: "Duke Jingguo is in a hurry, maybe his hands are itchy again, do you want to talk to His Majesty?"

Lord Jingguo turned his head when he heard the sound, saw that it was the crown prince, and immediately turned back, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince. If you want to return to Your Highness, I have come to the palace today to ask for an urgent matter."

Xiao Rui immediately showed a questioning look.

Lord Jingguo didn't hide anything, and continued: "Uncle Mingyi's daughter, Lu Su, lives in the lower official's mansion. She didn't come back after leaving the mansion yesterday. The servants in the mansion thought she was staying at a friend's house, but they didn't take it seriously. But it's too late now. It was too late to return, so I sent someone to look for it, but unfortunately, no one was found. Xiaguan and Uncle Mingyi are close friends, and Lu Zhi lives in Xiaguan's mansion, and it is obligatory to take care of her safety. Now that no one can be found, Xiaguan feels anxious , so I want to see His Highness when I enter the palace, and ask Lu Zhi if he knows where Lu Su is going."

"Lu Su is missing?" Xiao Rui raised his brows, and said immediately, "Duke Jingguo will follow me into the palace. We need to ask Lu Zhi about this matter."

"Okay!" Duke Jingguo took a step behind and followed Xiao Rui into the palace.

On the way, Xiao Rui remembered Xiao Xiao's reminder to himself, and asked, "Mr. Jingguo, I heard that it was the Duke's suggestion that Lu Zhi enter the palace as a female official. Is there such a thing?"

Lord Jingguo nodded, and said: "It is indeed the idea of ​​the lower officials. Could it be that Lu Zhi didn't take good care of him and made His Highness unhappy?"

Xiao Rui shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not true! Lu's pheasant is easy-going, knows the rules and has a sense of proportion, which is very suitable for my palace. But it can be seen that Lu's pheasant is a very independent woman. If he does not want to enter the palace, No one can force it. It seems that when the Duke made a suggestion to His Majesty, he must have asked Lu Zhi for his opinion, but there is such a thing!"

Lord Jingguo nodded, and said: "Your Highness is wise, you can't hide anything from His Highness. But in order to take care of Miss Lu, when I told His Majesty, I didn't say it directly."

"Duke Jingguo thought carefully, but I don't quite understand why Lu Zhi is willing to enter the palace?" Xiao Rui asked the key point.

Duke Jing laughed and said, "Your Highness is handsome and extraordinary. It's not impossible for Lu Zhi to admire him. As the saying goes, you get the moon if you are close to the water..."

Xiao Rui subconsciously touched himself up to his cheek, was it really for his own appearance?

Although I am too handsome, but I want to use this reason to express myself, there is still something lacking. So what secret is Lu Zhi hiding?

Secondly...I always feel that Mr. Yasukuni is a bit too considerate.

When the two came to the East Palace, Xiao Rui ordered someone to call Lu Zhi and explain the situation.

When Lu Zhi heard that his sister was missing, his expression changed, and his heart was full of anxiety.

"Lu Zhi, do you and Lu Su have any enemies in the capital?" Sensing the change in Lu Zhi's expression, he pretended to ask casually.

Lu Zhi shook his head, and said: "My sister and I have no enemies when we first arrived in the capital. Lu Su has a brilliant nature. Could it be that she was arrested when she met a bully for fighting against injustice?"

"It's also possible, that would be even more dangerous." Duke Yasukuni worried.

Lu Zhi directly knelt down and begged Xiao Rui: "Your Highness, I beg Your Highness to let you out of the palace. I only have this younger sister, and I depend on each other for life. If something happens to her, I will have no face to face my dead parents."

Xiao Rui readily agreed and said: "Okay, my palace has granted me permission, you will go out of the palace with Duke Jing, and return to the palace after ensuring Lu Su's safety."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Lu Zhi expressed his gratitude, and then left the palace with Duke Yasukuni.

After the person left, Xiao Rui exchanged Li Yuanfang for him to send someone to spy on Lu Zhi secretly. This time may be a great opportunity to find out Lu Zhi's secret.
