The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Before the storm came, there was an unusual calm.

The people in the dark are watching Emperor Xia's life and death, whether they can make a move. Xiao Rui and the others were also waiting for the other party to show their feet.

At this time, there were three female officials in the East Palace who knew about the plot. One was Yan Xiaoxiao. She heard that Xiao Rui was in a coma and contracted a serious illness. When she arrived at the East Palace, not only her eyes were red, but her hands were trembling. At that time, she could no longer care about being punished. Even if she was killed with a stick, she would still come to see His Highness. At that moment, Yan Xiaoxiao knew that His Highness was not only important in her heart, but even filled her heart.

Yan Xiaoxiao's running over made it difficult for Li Yuanfang, and in the end he could only bring Yan Xiaoxiao to the princess Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue. Seeing Yan Xiaoxiao's pear blossoms raining down, the two girls almost knelt down to see Xiao Rui.

Seeing such a lovely girl crying so sadly, Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue looked at each other helplessly and couldn't bear to refuse, then took Yan Xiaoxiao to see Xiao Rui.

At that time, Xiao Rui didn't wake up because of the medicine, and Yan Xiaoxiao threw herself on the bed crying in distraught, but it was Li Ruoxue who couldn't bear it, and secretly told her the plan, which stopped her crying, and then she was ashamed. , today is a shame.

The second female official is none other than Lu Su.

According to the plan, Lu Su has already been killed, so she can't run around, she must stay in the East Palace honestly and pretend to be dead, and don't let other people find her figure, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted.

As for the third female officer, it was Arjuna.

The reason why Ah Zhu was brought into the palace was not to play mahjong. As the saying goes, three women play a game, and now five women are playing together. Even Xiao Rui, who claims to be able to control the scene, will not ask for trouble. Getting A'Zhu to come requires her superb camouflage skills, which can make the plot more real from the details.

At this moment, A'Zhu is not idle, he has hurriedly made a human skin mask. At this time, there is a corpse on a master bed in the East Palace. The body shape and height are close to that of His Majesty. , Arjuna was putting on a human skin mask and putting on makeup on him, and after a short while, he became His Majesty!

This is a death row prisoner that Zhuge Yuanba secretly sent in by his confidantes. Naturally, its function is to pretend to be His Majesty's corpse for people in the dark to see. How can they rest assured if they don't see it!

This prisoner on death row is also worthy, and he can wear a dragon robe once after death, and some will blow it in hell.

Just when everything was ready and everyone was waiting quietly, there was a sudden commotion outside the palace.

Unexpectedly, the first one to come was Tang Wang Xiaoyan's carriage. The carriage stopped in front of the Meridian Gate, Xiao Yan got off the carriage and hurried into the palace, but was stopped by the forbidden army.

Xiao Rui held up his prince's order, he thought it was a new imperial guard who didn't know him. But the imperial guards bite the bullet and said: "His Royal Highness, Zhuge Du has an order to prohibit anyone from entering or leaving the palace. Please forgive me, the villains also follow orders!"

"What? No one is allowed to enter or leave the palace? That certainly doesn't include this king. Is this king a human being? This king is a handsome guy! Get out of the way! This king is going to see the crown prince. I heard that he is ill and his condition is still serious! You guys Stop me, be careful of my majestic Tianlong!" Xiao Yan shouted, and raised his palm.

In "Journey to the West", he borrowed the pseudonym of his seventh brother, and created an eminent monk named Fa Hai. The most powerful method is Dawei Tianlong!

When the two imperial guards were in trouble, Zhuge Yuanba came in person, clasped his fists and said, "His Royal Highness Tang, I'm sorry, it is His Majesty's will to prohibit anyone from entering or leaving, including the prince. Without His Majesty's order, the last general really cannot let His Majesty enter the palace. Your Highness is concerned about His Highness the Crown Prince, you will eventually understand, but His Highness the Crown Prince is auspicious and has his own destiny, so nothing will happen."

"Father's will?" Xiao Yan raised his brows, and suddenly he didn't dare to make a fuss.

At this moment, another carriage came, and there were still two carriages.

Jin Wang Xiao Lie and Princess Yuqing got out of the carriage, and the siblings entered the palace at the same time.

"Prince Tang is here too, what happened?" Xiao Lie asked.

Xiao Yan relayed the news that His Majesty was not allowed to enter the palace, Xiao Lie was also very surprised, and then said: "Commander Zhuge, why don't we go to the harem to meet the concubine mother?"

"Yes, is it okay to ask to see the concubine mother?" Princess Yuqing asked.

Zhuge Yuanba shook his head and said: "No! No one is allowed to enter the palace without His Majesty's order!"

The imperial guards were all so determined, and the three of them became more and more curious about what happened, and their hearts were like a cat scratching. After all, this was the first time they had seen such a thing, but since His Majesty asked, they were ready to go back.

Coincidentally, they all rushed together, and Huo Xingye, Minister of the Ministry of War, also hurried over.

Seeing all the crowds in front of the Meridian Gate, he also showed surprise.

Zhuge Yuanba narrowed his eyes for an instant, then returned to normal, and then asked with clasped fists, "Huo Shangshu wants to enter the palace?"

Huo Xingye nodded, and said: "Marquis Chang Sheng sent an urgent military report. There is a big incident in Zhao State, and I need to report to His Majesty face to face!"

Zhuge Yuanba smiled, and said the prohibition again.

After hearing this, Huo Xingye shook the military newspaper in his hand, and said: "This matter is extremely important, and there should be no delay. I would like to ask Zhuge Du to inform His Majesty. If His Majesty is willing to see me, wouldn't there be an oral order?"

Zhuge Yuanba pretended to be in trouble, then nodded and returned to the East Palace.

When they came to the East Palace, Zhuge Yuanba's future people reported one by one. After Xia Huang heard it, his face didn't change much. Now he can't doubt anyone, but he can doubt anyone, so he can't think too much, and accidents are easy to happen.

"Since it's an urgent military report, it's impossible to miss it, Li Aiqing, you can go." Emperor Xia laughed.

As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Li Mingchong was duty-bound to go out this time, so he went out to meet Huo Xingye in person.

Huo Xingye didn't expect Mr. Shoufu to come out in person, and immediately bowed his hands in salute. After Li Mingchong paid homage to Xiao Yan, Xiao Lie and Princess Yuqing, he and Huo Xingye moved to another place. Li Mingchong asked, "What happened to Zhao Guo?"

Huo Xingye hurriedly submitted the report to Li Mingchong. After reading it, Li Mingchong nodded and said, "I will report this matter to His Majesty. Huo Xingye should return to the Ministry of War to sit in charge."

"The lower official has the guts to ask, what happened?" Huo Xingye couldn't help asking.

Li Mingchong glanced at him coldly, then turned and went back to the palace.

Huo Xingye was not angry, so he turned and left. The three of Xiao Yan also had nothing to do with the show, so they could only go back to their respective homes.

Li Mingchong returned to the East Palace, and the general reported it to Emperor Xia. After reading it, Emperor Xia passed it to Xiao Rui. To a distance of two hundred miles! People in Zhao State were terrified. Compared with the ruthless Qin army, the territory occupied by Xia State was actually a good place, so many people began to cross the river to the east, wanting to submit to Daxia. Marquis Chang Sheng urgently reported to the military to ask His Majesty what he meant, whether to accept it or to stop it.

Emperor Xia laughed and said, "Now that I and the crown prince have something to do, Li Aiqing personally drafted this military report, and my companions in the sea approved it."

This matter is a major event, related to the governance of the area east of the Qijiang River. His Majesty personally approved it. Now Li Mingchong is giving his opinion. As long as he puts it out, people will definitely find out the clues. This also proves that something happened to Emperor Xia from the details. Otherwise, with Li Mingchong's character, he would never dare to do this.

Now that the Meridian Gate is so strictly guarded and no one is allowed to enter or leave, will it be difficult for the secret messengers to make them unable to confirm His Majesty's life and death?

Don't worry! The stricter it is, the more problematic it is! And the secret messenger must have thought of this situation, so there must be other ways to verify it!

Xiao Rui and the others just need to wait and see what happens, don't worry, take your time.

Before I knew it, it was getting dark.

Except for Xiao Yan, Xiao Lie, Princess Yuqing and Huo Xingye who begged to see His Majesty, there was no one else, which showed the cunning of the secret messenger.

The East Palace was full of fun, Xiao Rui asked Xiao Xiao to prepare a hot pot, and everyone ate the hot pot to replenish their meat when winter was about to begin.

After eating and drinking enough, Li Mingchong and Zhou Wang Xiao Mingying slowly left the palace. The two of them could not stay overnight in the palace, even if "something happened to His Majesty".

After the two left the palace, they each boarded their carriages and returned home.

The coachman driving Xiao Mingying was quite trusted by him. He had followed him for more than ten years. When he helped Xiao Mingying into the carriage, he found Xiao Mingying's movements were very stiff.

Xiao Mingying didn't dare to speak directly, and could only slander in her heart:

"Why…"

"You shouldn't be greedy, the hot pot tastes so good, but it's so troublesome to eat, it's killing me, ouch..."

It turned out that I was full.

But Xiao Mingying's performance was completely different in the driver's eyes. The groom lowered his eyes, and when he lowered the curtain, the corner of his mouth slightly raised an arc.

After sending Xiao Mingying back to the palace, Xiao Mingying regained her composure and went directly to the study without seeing anyone. The groom made sure that no one was following him, so he went to a place secretly, and met Lu Ao and the mysterious middle-aged man. The groom had been bribed long ago and stayed by Xiao Mingying's side.

The groom told the truth about Xiao Mingying's behavior, and said with certainty: "Sir, the villain has followed Lord Zhou for more than ten years, and knows his character best. His painful expression is definitely not a disguise, it must be something he encountered in the palace. Big change!"

When Lu Ao and the middle-aged man heard this, they were even more convinced of the news of Emperor Xia's accident.

Waving his hand to make the coachman back down, Lu Ao said with a smile: "In all likelihood, Emperor Xia was assassinated and died. Now Xiao Mingying and Li Mingchong are blocking the news because they want to wait for Xiao Rui to wake up. He is the crown prince and can preside over the overall situation. But Xiao Rui woke up. If you don’t come, your soul will die in three days.”

The middle-aged man nodded in agreement, but said: "To be on the safe side, you must see Emperor Xia's true condition. If you don't confirm his death, it is impossible to expose it! Even if Emperor Xia has only one breath left, everyone has to be honest. .”

"Sir, you have thought carefully." Lu Zhi said with a smile.

...

In the early morning of the next day, all civil and military officials went to court, but they were all refused in front of the Meridian Gate. His Majesty ordered that the morning court be cancelled.

The civil and military officials were puzzled, but they didn't dare to ask more questions, so they went back to their homes, maybe they could sleep in the cage again.

And Li Mingchong and Xiao Mingying continued to rush to the East Palace to fight the landlord.

Not long after, Zhuge Yuanba hurried into the East Palace and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Empress is here!"

The people playing cards in the room were taken aback, Xiao Rui was also quite surprised, why did Queen Zhou Xiangyun come?
