The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

After Xiao Feng left Ruyang Palace, most of the doubts in his heart were dispelled, and Ruyang King's words were not unreasonable, if it is true that Xiao Ruiran was dying of an emergency, it would be a great thing!

Ever since he knew that Xiao Rui was His Majesty's most beloved child, Xiao Feng couldn't help being jealous. In order to leave the throne to him, His Majesty ignored him and set up an overall situation that lasted more than ten years. This is really unfair to the other princes. They are all princes, why can't they be equal?

It would be best if Xiao Rui died, he would be able to perform well, Xiao Feng confidently believed that with his own ability, he could get His Majesty's approval to become the crown prince!

Fight to the end to know who is the winner!

After sending Xiao Feng away, King Ruyang returned to the study.

"Emperor Xia is scheming, he always takes one step and thinks three steps when doing things, so the accident in the palace this time, is it because something happened to the crown prince? If it is said that something happened to Emperor Xia, the possibility is too low..." King Ruyang did not lie to Xiao Feng , because even he himself couldn't guess what happened.

"Could it be that Emperor Xia and the prince had an accident at the same time?"

Together with this idea, it was quickly rejected by King Ruyang. Who in the capital has this ability?

Dongchang's spies are too scary, they may come out of their mouths if they stay in their own home, not to mention conspiring with someone or meeting someone. As for forming your own forces or cultivating dead soldiers, you have to secretly cultivate them outside the capital.

"It's not appropriate to come forward about this matter, let's wait and see what happens." Ruyang Wang said leisurely, and then took out a box from the desk drawer. There was a broken jade pendant in the box, which he left for his infant son back then, but unfortunately... son Falling into the cliff with Zhao Guo Jiuyin Forbidden Army, life and death are unknown, only to find this broken jade pendant.

"Emperor Xia, Emperor Xia, what have you done to my son?"

King Ruyang clenched the jade pendant tightly, anger appeared on his calm face, and he gritted his teeth with resentment.

At this moment, there are countless dignitaries such as Duan Wang Xiao Feng and Ru Yang Wang, they all secretly speculate about the big changes in the palace, but they dare not act rashly, for fear that it is His Majesty's game.

In the evening, the time of three days was basically up, and it was time for Sanri Duanchang Powder to take Xiao Rui's life.

Empress Zhou Xiangyun couldn't wait a long time ago, and immediately got up and rushed to the East Palace. From this, it can be seen that Zhou Xiangyun is indeed the key link, and the timing is very accurate.

Dian Wei and Li Cunxiao did not stop them from entering the East Palace this time. After Zhou Xiangyun entered, he saw Xiao Mingying and Li Mingchong standing in the courtyard with sad faces.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Xiangyun asked with joy in his heart, but with a serious face.

Xiao Mingying bowed his hands and saluted, sighed: "Prince... is dead. Is this God punishing Da Xia? His Majesty and Chu Jun actually left together."

Li Mingchong also squeezed out a few old tears and covered his face with his official sleeve.

"Prince, he..." Zhou Xiangyun's expression was moved, and then he walked into the room at a faster pace, and saw that the side concubine Li Ruoxue had fainted from crying, Zhuge Liuying's eyes were red, and the two were being helped down by the female officer.

Zhuge Liuying wanted to meet Zhou Xiangyun, but she stopped her. I saw her hold Zhuge Liuying's hand, almost laughed out loud, and finally suppressed a sigh: "My condolences, the matter has come to an end, I guarantee my health."

At this time, you can't gloat, keep serious, and don't laugh.

Zhuge Liuying nodded, her red eyes were uncomfortable, tears flowed down uncontrollably, she looked very sad—what medicine did A Zhu prepare, the tears flowed down her eyes, and she couldn't stop.

It's still Ruoxue who is smart, but her acting skills are not good, so she just pretends to be dizzy.

The two princesses were escorted away, Zhou Xiangyun came to the bedside, saw Xiao Rui's body on the bed, his handsome appearance became haggard, as expected, death was like a lamp being extinguished, no matter how good the skin was, it was useless in the face of death.

Cautious Zhou Xiangyun tried again, and he was indeed dead, without heartbeat or breathing, and the body began to cool down.

If there is a song that can express Zhou Xiangyun's mood at this time, it must be: "Life is just a drama, why should you care too much about kindness and resentment... I smile smugly... I smile smugly..."

moment.

Zhou Xiangyun packed up his happy mood and walked out of the room. Her steps were heavy, her face was full of sadness, then she looked at Xiao Mingying and Li Mingchong in the courtyard, and asked: "My lord, Mr. Li, the country cannot live without a king, we must make a decision early, and establish a new king to ascend the throne. Mr. Li , I would like to ask you, Your Majesty can leave other edicts stating that if the crown prince dies, who will be the crown prince?"

Li Mingchong shook his head and said: "Returning to your mother, I have never heard that your majesty has left such an edict. After all, there is a prince here, so how could your majesty issue such an edict?"

Zhou Xiangyun nodded and said: "Since there is no imperial edict, the selection of the new monarch has to rely on two people. The prince of Zhou is the highest ranking prince and title, and he is in charge of the imperial order of the clan's mansion. Mr. Li is the chief assistant of the cabinet. They are equal, the two should not underestimate themselves, and must choose a new king to inherit the great line."

After a pause, Zhou Xiangyun said again: "This palace is the mother of a country, and the mother respects the world, so we can't just ask about it. My son has passed away, and I have no children under my knees, so there is no selfishness in electing a new monarch. The Great Xia is the world. This Palace suggests that Xiao Yan, the ninth son of the emperor, be appointed as the new emperor, who will ascend the throne immediately and stabilize the country's destiny. What do you two think?"

Xiao Mingying sighed, and said: "Empress, this king still suggests to follow the ancient system, establish an elder without a heir, and appoint Xiao Lie as the new king, which is more convincing. If it is His Highness Tang Wang, this king is worried that the prince will turn his back on him, and it will be more convincing. lead to a greater disaster."

However, Li Mingchong raised objections, saying: "Actually, I think the empress's suggestion is better. The crown prince is not the eldest son and the eldest son. Your Majesty did not follow the ancient system. Now we implement it, and the other princes are not convinced. If you want to disobey If you start fighting, you have to follow the advice of your previous empress."

Summon the prince into the palace and imprison him. After the national fortune is stabilized, the new emperor will decide where the other princes will go, so that there will be no swords. The news of the death of His Majesty and the Crown Prince is still under blockade. Now is the best time to summon the Prince by His Majesty's order. Once the prince realizes that something happened between His Majesty and the prince, he will inevitably start a war.

Zhou Xiangyun was secretly delighted that indeed Li Mingchong would choose Tang Wang Xiao Yan, because his Li family had a good relationship with Tang Wang, and Tang Wang had a close relationship with Xiao Rui. If he ascended the throne, he would not liquidate Li Mingchong, but would entrust him with important tasks as a reward. Li Mingchong's support.

Afterwards, Zhou Xiangyun said again: "My lord, we all understand your thoughts, but Jin Wang is too angry with scholars. Your majesty has laid down such a foundation, and you think it will be possible for Jin Wang to keep it." Live? King Tang is younger, so he must rely on you, the prince, for your assistance. Are you afraid that he will not be able to govern the world? On the other hand, King Jin, does the prince think he will rely on the prince?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Mingying fell silent immediately.

With the ability of the queen, it is absolutely impossible to say this, someone must have taught him. And these words are already very straightforward. It is equivalent to telling Xiao Mingying that if you choose the king of Tang, you can still have a second spring. Maybe you will have power in the court, but if you choose the king of Jin, it doesn't matter whether you can continue to be the patriarch of the clan. Sure.

Because the relationship between Xiao Mingying and King Jin's grandfather Yue Guogong is relatively stiff, on the other hand, he has a good relationship with Tang Wang's grandfather Jing Guogong, and they have been friends for many years.

Even if Xiao Mingying doesn't think about himself, he should think about his son and grandson. If you support the king of Tang to get the merit of Conglong and get a hereditary replacement, it can be regarded as seeking a future for future generations.

After a while, Xiao Mingying sighed and nodded.

Zhou Xiangyun was overjoyed, it was done!

"It's not too late, let's start. Please ask the prince to summon the six princes by His Majesty's order, and let Zhuge Yuanba lead the imperial army to 'protect' them and not allow them to leave the palace. Lord Li summoned the other four cabinet ministers Minister of the Ministry of Soldiers and the Ministry of War, as well as the governor of the five armies, the Zhongyonghou of the patrol battalion, oh yes, and the Duke of Jingguo, and then Mr. Li will explain the reason. To be on the safe side, I suggest that after the prince enters the palace, order the Northwest The battalion of soldiers and horses entered the city on guard. In the end, in order to be safe, I suggest that I draw up an imperial edict, which is said to be the edict left by His Majesty." Zhou Xiangyun talked about it carefully, and said four steps in a row.

First control the prince, then call the civil and military officials, and then let the Northwest camp guard the whole city, and finally draft a will, interlocking to ensure that the king of Tang ascends the throne with reason and evidence, even if the other princes want to rebel. .

It seems that the people behind the scenes taught the queen a lot.

At this moment, Xiao Mingying and Li Mingchong didn't raise any objections. Didn't they act for so long just to elicit all this? You can also close the network.

"Okay! Let's do it according to your mother's instructions!" Xiao Mingying and Li Mingchong responded immediately.

Afterwards, the two quickly went to do it.

Feeling refreshed, Zhou Xiangyun turned his head and glanced at Donggong, finally a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, then turned and left.

At this time, Xiao Rui and Emperor Xia hid in a side hall to drink tea. After the queen left, Hai Dafu came to report the whole process.

Emperor Xia nodded and said: "Just do it according to the Queen's wishes."

"Your servant understands!" Hai Dafu responded, and then went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to write the will.

In this way, the plan has reached a critical moment.

Immediately, the imperial guards in the palace rushed to the various princes' mansions with oral instructions. The six princes were curious but not suspicious, so they changed into the palace one after another, and came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to wait.

When the last King Jing arrived, the six princes gathered together. The six wondered and asked each other, but none of them knew the reason why they were conscripted into the palace for this trip.

And when the princes entered the palace one after another, the civil and military officials also rushed to the palace, and a group of people met in Longyuan Pavilion. The power these people held directly determined the situation of the new emperor.

Look at the situation.

Li Mingchong is the chief assistant of the cabinet.

Lu Yuanzheng is the Minister of Rites and a Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Yang Feiyuan is the Minister of the Household Department and a Bachelor of Wuyingdian University.

Shang Jin was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and a Bachelor of Dongge University.

Cheng Ming is a bachelor of Jianji Temple, and can participate in political affairs.

Huo Xingye is the Secretary of the Ministry of War. He is younger. If there is no accident, he will enter the cabinet sooner or later.

Zhongyong Hou Zhang Jinfu.

There are also Ye Xiu, the governor of the central military governor's mansion, Zhang Yingqi, the governor of the left military governor's mansion, Zang Haichuan, the right governor's mansion, Ma Yiwen, the former military governor's mansion, and Xuerongtang, the rear military governor's mansion.

The last is Yasukuni.

The thirteen people got together and discussed a lot, and then they all looked at Li Mingchong.
