The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Xiao Rui looked back and saw that Yan Xiaoxiao had already walked beside him.

"Xiao Xiao is here." Xiao Rui smiled.

Yan Xiaoxiao held the sweet soup and said: "I see that Your Highness eats little for dinner, so I prepared some sweet soup. I made it myself. Would you like to try it, Your Highness?"

"Okay!" Xiao Rui took the sweet soup and tasted it.

Seeing Xiao Rui eating so happily, Yan Xiaoxiao felt like eating honey in her heart, but sending sweet soup was just a trivial matter, and there was one more thing she was hesitating about, not knowing whether to say it or not.

Xiao Rui noticed that she was hesitant to speak, so he asked, "Is there something on your mind? There are no outsiders here, and I am an excellent listener."

Yan Xiaoxiao shook her head, and said: "Your Highness, it's not about me, but... but the Empress Empress came here strangely, probably at the instigation of someone in the dark, so the servant guessed that the Empress Empress would definitely send her back to Changchun Palace after returning to Changchun Palace." What I saw today contacted the envoy. As the mother of a country, it is impossible for her to meet in person. She must have sent her confidants. I was worried that the empress would be detrimental to His Highness, so I slightly and simply bought off the female officials of the Changchun Palace. Do you need a servant to inquire about it?"

Xiao Rui frowned and looked at Yan Xiaoxiao in surprise.

Sure enough, Xiao Xiao has grown up, and he can reach out to the queen, which is really beyond Xiao Rui's expectation!

At the same time, Xiao Rui felt very warm, Xiao Xiao believed in himself so much that he dared to tell himself these words. Hearing that she heard that she was unconscious, she gave up everything and ran over. When she came to the East Palace, her legs were so frightened that her legs went limp. Crying, is this friendship just because he has saved her?

Xiao Rui is not a straight man of steel, he knew Xiao Xiao's intentions a long time ago, it's just that Xiao Xiao's current position is the female officer of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, so it's not easy to handle, it seems that he has to find a way to transfer her out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but How to explain to His Majesty that this is the most difficult thing to do.

"Your Majesty has asked Hai Dafu to send someone to investigate. If nothing can be found, I will hand it over to Xiao Xiao." Xiao Rui said.

Yan Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, as long as she could help Xiao Rui, even if it was an unknown help, she would be willing.

"Your Highness, you don't have to worry about other things. The boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge, and everything is vain, and you will definitely not be able to beat His Highness!" Yan Xiaoxiao said.

Xiao Rui immediately stretched his eyebrows.

He did have something on his mind. The empress came to test this time, and the result was that Lord Yasukuni had a problem, so he wanted to investigate Lord Yasukuni, but what about the others?

From the beginning of the competition for the position of crown prince, Xiao Rui defeated all the princes, and now he has finally become the crown prince, but found that the enemies are far more than those before, and the strength of the other party is very strong.

First of all, Xiao Feng and Huang Qilin, these two people are not easy-going lamps.

King Ruyang is even more mysterious, and it is only now that the clouds and mist have been cleared, and his true face is gradually seen. But because His Majesty was involved, it was probably His Majesty's scheme back then, so Xiao Rui didn't dare to investigate further.

Now he ran out of Yasukuni again. Because of Xiao Yan's relationship, Xiao Rui felt that Jing Guogong was a good person, but killing himself was really merciless.

Besides them, is there anyone else?

If I don't become the emperor for a day, I will be the enemy of everyone. Maybe this is the experience and tribulation.

Just like what the Queen said, if His Majesty doesn't make his son the crown prince, it's not abiding by the rules. Since His Majesty doesn't follow the rules, how can the other sons be convinced? So what's wrong with conspiring to fight for the throne?

At this moment, Xiao Rui finally understood why in ancient times, one would establish a heir but not a concubine, a senior but not a young, and status was even more important than virtuous, because this was a rule, a rule to ensure stability.

Just like Li Shimin and Zhu Di, even though they snatched the throne, they were severely criticized by the history books. They were worried about sitting on the throne, for fear of being sorry for the people and the country. When I get old, I still worry about whether future generations will learn from him.

Yan Xiaoxiao's words reminded Xiao Rui, why worry too much, since it is the enemy, then kill the opponent, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, and there will be pots everywhere if you are in a hurry. A system that has been silent for a long time, will you send Xiaoxiao?

As the leader of the previous life said: Struggling with the sky, the joy is endless! Struggling with the earth, the joy is endless! Struggling with people, the joy is endless!

So what is the disaster of the Little Ice Age!

What are the surrounding enemy countries!

What are the enemies around you!

A person who has no enemies in his life is as lonely as having no friends.

Fight it up, Ollie!

...

The next day, the morning court was canceled again, and many officials asked to see His Majesty yesterday, but they did not see him, including several other cabinet scholars.

These cabinet scholars were involved in a lot of relationships, so they kept it secret from beginning to end, and the four of them also suspected a lot, but not to mention His Majesty, even Li Mingchong couldn't see anyone.

And on the new day, several other princes also came to see His Majesty, including Xiao Feng and Xiao Jing, but they were all turned away, causing everyone to wonder.

What happened?

At the same time, the people sent by Hai Dafu to investigate the queen returned without success, mainly because they were afraid of scaring the snake. The people sent by Hai Dafu did not dare to intimidate or lure the queen's confidant female officials, they were afraid of scaring the snake, and asked ordinary female officials. Although the forbidden army secretly monitored the movements of the Changchun Palace, and the entry and exit of every court lady, eunuch, and female official were recorded, they couldn't prevent the other party from passing on the news.

Since Hai Dafu had no results, Xiao Rui secretly asked Yan Xiaoxiao to try it out, and told her to keep it a secret, and if the queen was alerted, all previous efforts would be wasted.

A quiet mansion.

Lu Zhi has been locked up for several days. During this time, he pretended to be Lu Su. Although he was imprisoned, he was rarely at ease and relaxed. He had nothing to do with reading, writing and writing. up. It turned out that it was really easy to let go.

At the same time, she was secretly worried about the situation in the palace. All this started because of her, I hope this time it can end because of her, and the people I care about and the people I like will be fine.

In a room not far away, after Lu Ao heard the news that Emperor Xia was dead from a middle-aged man, surprise appeared on his originally calm face, and he smiled from ear to ear. Then he bowed deeply to the north and said, "I Your Majesty, fortunately, I did not disgrace my life, and finally fulfilled Your Majesty's important task!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Ao burst into tears, and then bowed deeply to the middle-aged man, and said: "Sir, please don't forget the agreement between you and me. When His Highness ascends the throne, the Great Xia will withdraw! Our country of Qi is willing to cede Jinzhou for the future." Southern Territory, form an alliance of brothers between the two countries, and never abandon it."

The middle-aged man laughed, and said: "Sir, please stand up, the promise will not be forgotten. When the new emperor ascends the throne and the dust falls, it will be the time for the Champion Hou to withdraw his troops."

Lu Ao nodded with a smile, and asked again: "Since Emperor Xia is dead, according to the time, Xiao Rui will also die tonight! The three-day Duanhun powder is extremely poisonous, and there is no cure except for the antidote. It's over, now it's up to Mr.

The middle-aged man replied: "The arrangements have been made. Although there will be some disturbances, the general trend is set. There is a queen who is the mother of a country. The crown prince is dead. Li Mingchong, the chief minister of the cabinet, also knows how to measure. Will he dare to choose the other princes? Finally It is Xiao Mingying. Based on my father's acquaintance with him, it should be easy to handle him. So as long as the other princes are lured into the palace and imprisoned, there will be no worries."

Lu Ao said in admiration: "Sir, you are resourceful and resourceful. He helped His Highness the Ninth Prince win the throne without making a fuss. You really are so tall!"

"Haha...Mr. Lu is being polite, and I have to thank Mr. Lu for his great help. Let's have a drink together." The middle-aged man laughed.

The two toasted each other and drank it all in one gulp.

"Sir, are you going to deal with Lu Su? Just let him go, or..." the middle-aged man asked.

There was a hint of coldness in the corner of Lu Ao's mouth, and he said, "What are you doing alive? Why don't you accompany his sister to die together, it happens that sisters love each other deeply."

The middle-aged man nodded, admiring Lu Ao's decisive killing.

What happened in the palace also sparked secret discussions in Kyoto.

Duan Wang Xiao Feng heard the news after the palace gate was under martial law, and he expected something to happen at that time. Later, when Xiao Yan, Xiao Lie, and Princess Yuqing asked for an audience, they were turned away, and now His Majesty has canceled the early court twice, all signs indicate that there is a big problem in the palace.

What could it be?

Xiao Feng is smart, but he has no clue at this time, he wonders if His Majesty is sick, and the condition is quite serious. As for the speculation that His Majesty is "dead", Xiao Feng never thought about it.

After being puzzled, Xiao Feng went to Ruyang Palace.

During this period of time, King Ruyang was very low-key, living in a simple place, completely living the life of an idle county king. King Duan's sudden visit was within his expectation, and he received Xiao Feng in the teahouse.

The two chatted while drinking tea.

"My lord, what happened in the palace?" Xiao Feng directly asked the purpose of this trip without foreshadowing.

King Ruyang shook his head and said: "I don't know either! But the blockade of the palace gates is a change that occurred after His Majesty went to the East Palace in the early court, so it must be that His Majesty encountered an accident in the East Palace, which was so serious that the city gate was closed and the early court was cancelled."

"Then the source of all this is the crown prince!" Xiao Feng said.

King Ruyang nodded, and said again: "I heard that the crown prince's illness came on quickly and was relatively serious. The imperial physician in the palace was helpless after diagnosis, and finally invited the genius doctor Hua Tuo to enter the palace, but there was no result. So I guess, is it the crown prince's illness? It's too powerful, it's on the verge of death, because of a strange illness, so His Majesty sealed off the city and imposed martial law. Because of worry, Emperor Xia canceled the early court and stayed by the prince's side. It's not without precedent for a prince to die young, and illness is something that ordinary people can't control. "

"Is it possible that something happened to His Majesty? Since the gate of the palace was closed, His Majesty has directly summoned Li Mingchong, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Prince Zhou." Xiao Feng asked a disrespectful question.

After pondering, King Ruyang said: "It's also possible, but the summoning of Li Mingchong may be because His Majesty is worried about the crown prince and has no interest in state affairs, so he ordered the chief minister of the cabinet to deal with state affairs. As for calling Xiao Mingying, it may not necessarily be to deal with the funeral. Once the crown prince is seriously ill, If it's dead, it must be dealt with by a respected member of the royal family, and Xiao Mingying is the order of the clan's family, so it couldn't be more appropriate."

Xiao Feng nodded, he also felt that the possibility of His Majesty having an accident is very unlikely, that is the Imperial Palace, impregnable, unless His Majesty also fell ill.

So, is it true that Prince Xiao Rui is going to die?

Xiao Feng's eyes lit up suddenly, his heart was full of excitement.

Once the prince dies, who will be his opponent among the other princes?

"No wonder my grandfather often taught me not to think about the immediate gains and losses. The immediate gains and losses are not necessarily the final result. Success or failure depends not only on ability, but also on timing and destiny."

Xiao Feng muttered silently, at the same time he missed his grandfather very much, and didn't know where he went.
