The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

The candle flame flickered, casting two shadows whispering on the wall.

It seems to be a psychological hint. People like to keep quiet when conspiring to talk. Even if there is no one else in the room, they are worried that the partition wall has ears.

After hearing Huang Qilin's plan, Xiao Feng's wide eyes were obviously shocked, but he asked immediately: "Grandfather, this plan is wonderful, but will it succeed? Your Majesty is resourceful, can you hide it from him? And it's not good. Take control!"

Huang Qilin stroked his beard and smiled: "This plan is a long-term plan, and it cannot be accomplished overnight. As for Emperor Xia, believe it or not, Feng Er, you will understand when you reach that age. And in order to make the plan seamless, the people involved in the plan don't even know they are Under the plan, Emperor Xia couldn't find out even if he tried to find out. Moreover, the old man just made a push, so Emperor Xia couldn't find out. As for whether it can be successful, it may be possible to succeed by inserting willows unintentionally! Now we will not let anyone go means."

"Where did grandfather find him?" Xiao Feng asked again.

Huang Qilin smiled and said: "When I went to visit my friends to discuss other matters, I happened to see it. At that time, I was also shocked. By the way, this plot has nothing to do with you. You have nothing to do with yourself and hang it up. Wait until I tell the plot After signing the line, I should also leave, and it is not appropriate to stay in Kyoto for a long time."

Although Xiao Feng was reluctant, he knew it was true, so he asked: "Where is grandfather planning to go?"

Huang Qilin smiled and said: "When I was young, I traveled around the world. Now that I am old, go back to the route of the past, and re-arrange for your great cause. I am going to visit Qi State first, and then enter Yuan State. I should go to Qin State, because the final opponent of Great Xia in the future must be Qin State! The situation of Qin State is arranged in advance so that we, who are at a disadvantage, can catch up. In addition, the battle for the throne is not a one-day job. When I am not in Kyoto, you have to continue Protect yourself, look for and create opportunities to leave the capital, your goal is to gain some military power! As for the assassination of the prince, you must never do it again. At least one year, at most one and a half years, the old man will come back .”

Xiao Feng nodded solemnly, keeping Huang Qilin's words in his heart. Although he is not by his side, as long as he is alive, Xiao Feng can feel at ease.

"It's getting late, go back, don't come to me after tomorrow, I will move to another place tonight. Also, be careful of Ruyang King Xiao Conghu! Emperor Xia already knows that Ruyang King knows the truth, so Close monitoring of Xiao Conghu is also the reason why he lives in a shallow place, so don't go to see Xiao Conghu in the future." Huang Qilin warned.

Xiao Feng replied: "Grandson understands, grandson must leave, grandfather must take care of his health!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Feng got up and bowed deeply.

The corners of Huang Qilin's eyes were wet, and he immediately sent Xiao Feng out, watching him disappear into the night, he also left quietly with the book boy.

...

Yang Feiyuan was relegated from the cabinet. After Yang's inspection, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was not idle, and continued to cooperate with Dongchang and Jinyiwei to thoroughly investigate the local officials who had problems with the provision of grain storage by the Ministry of Households. However, Xiao Rui did not need to be responsible personally.

Eighty million taels were confiscated, and 40 million taels were given to the treasury. Xiao Rui and His Majesty shared half of the rest. The huge amount of 20 million taels was enough for Xiao Rui to squander.

However, these silvers are the value of selling everything, such as land, houses, jades, etc., into silver. Xiao Rui probably has to wait until after he gets married if he wants to get the silver.

There are still ten days before getting married, Xiao Rui's eyes are on the system tasks again.

During this period of time, Jia Xu has been sending people to watch over the Japanese envoy, but the other party has nothing out of the ordinary, and it seems that there is no conspiracy.

What is the purpose of the system to let Xiao Rui find out the Japanese country? Moreover, due to the urine nature of the system, such tasks will not be issued for no reason, so there must be something, but it hasn't happened yet, or it hasn't started yet.

So Xiao Rui could only wait and watch.

Time came to a new day, November 13th.

At court this morning, after several political affairs were settled, the Minister of Honglu Temple came out and reported: "Qi Zou Your Majesty, I have something to play!"

"Quite!" Xia Huang said.

Xiao Rui saw that it was the Minister of Honglu Temple, and immediately became interested. Could it be that it has something to do with the Wa Kingdom?

As expected, I only heard Honglu Temple Secretary say: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the Japanese envoys have completed the trade negotiations and are preparing to leave for home in three days. I would like to ask Your Majesty for your permission."

The Japanese envoys have arrived, and the letters of credence and tribute have been handed in, but His Majesty did not personally receive them. Now that Waguo and Daxia have finished talking about the trade situation for the next year, it is naturally time to leave.

Emperor Xia nodded and said: "I have seen the content of the trade discussed by the two parties. The total value has increased compared with previous years, and the Ashikaga Shogunate also specifically emphasized that they will encircle and suppress bandits and avoid encroaching on the coast of Great Xia. I am very satisfied with this intention. .”

"Killing pirates and Japanese pirates is what the Japanese country should do." The Minister of Honglu Temple responded respectfully.

At this time, Emperor Xia continued: "Speaking of Japanese pirates, I reminded me. Li Shoufu, after the morning court, drafted a decree, notifying the coastal prefectures to increase vigilance and prevent pirates from invading. Not long ago, the champion came to report, because the big The soldiers of Xia attacked Fengtian City of Qi State, and many Qi army ferries entered the sea in the captured land. They were active between the small country of Tiandu and Japan, and pretended to be Japanese pirates to invade the coastal areas of Great Xia. This must be a conspiracy of Qi State. Attempts to attack our coasts have put us on the edge."

"Yes, I understand!" Li Mingchong got up to accept the order.

Emperor Xia thought for a while, and said: "Our Great Xia needs the Wa Kingdom to come forward to encircle and suppress the hidden pirates. This is not an easy task, and the Wa Kingdom must pay attention to it. If this is the case, let's meet the Wa Kingdom's envoys this year. Inform the Japanese envoys that I will personally meet them in the afternoon."

"My minister complies with the decree." The Minister of Honglu Temple immediately responded with the decree.

Then morning ended.

Xiao Rui followed His Majesty back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. After spending the whole morning peacefully, he had lunch and rested for a while. At the end of the day, the Japanese envoys entered the palace to face the saint.

Xiao Rui stayed on the grounds that he wanted to see the envoys of the Wa Kingdom, Xia Huang did not doubt it, and soon, Xia Huang announced that the Wa Kingdom envoys entered the palace.

With the sound of footsteps, five Japanese envoys walked into the hall with bows, and then respectfully saluted: "The Japanese envoys are ordered by the Emperor and General Ashikaga to pay homage to the Great Xia Emperor. Long live the Great Xia Emperor!"

"Pingshen, give me a seat!" Emperor Xia raised his hand in response.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The five responded, and then sat on the left side.

Among the five envoys, the chief envoy of this mission was Koizumi Saburo, who respectfully said: "Emperor Daxia is here, please rest assured, His Majesty, after I return to China, I will definitely inform the Emperor and the Emperor of your importance and friendship." General, the friendship between the two countries will last forever. Our country, Japan, will also keep our promise and completely encircle and suppress pirates. Please rest assured, Your Majesty the Emperor!"

Emperor Xia nodded and said with a smile: "I am very pleased that the Wa Kingdom has such sincerity, and we will help the two countries to prosper and stabilize together. Please Mr. Koizumi send my regards to His Excellency the Emperor and General Ashikaga on my behalf, and pass on some gifts from me by the way."

Saburo Koizumi got up and smiled, "Yes! Please rest assured, His Majesty the Emperor."

Emperor Xia nodded, and when he was talking, he suddenly saw the Japanese envoy sitting at the back secretly looking at him, and when he noticed his gaze, he lowered his head like a little rabbit in fright.

Sensing the situation, Saburo Koizumi got up and introduced: "Please forgive me, His Majesty the Emperor. This is the sister of General Ashikaga, and one of the envoys on this trip. This is the first time I came to Daxia and saw His Majesty the Emperor with my own eyes. I was a little rude when I was excited, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

It was only then that Emperor Xia remembered that after the Japanese envoys arrived, the Minister of Honglu Temple mentioned this matter when he submitted the letter of credence, but Emperor Xia didn't care.

"It turns out she is the younger sister of the Great General Ashikaga, so naturally she is fine." Emperor Xia replied.

Koizumi Saburo smiled, and the younger sister of the Great General Ashikaga also stood up and responded: "Ashikaga Yumi, greeting His Majesty Emperor Daxia!"

Saying her name, Ashikaga Yumi raised her head.

Although she is a female companion in men's clothing, it is difficult to hide her beautiful appearance. Even Xiao Rui, who sees so many beautiful women, cannot but be surprised by Ashikaga Yumi's appearance.

who knows...

What surprised Xiao Rui even more was His Majesty's attitude!

His Majesty got up suddenly, stared at her blankly, and was lost for a while and didn't speak.

Not only His Majesty, but even Hai Dafu was astonished, and then hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to show shock.

Just when Xiao Rui was about to remind His Majesty, His Majesty took the lead and said, "Prince, entertain the Japanese envoys for me!"

After finishing speaking, Emperor Xia actually left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Xiao Rui was even more astonished, what happened to His Majesty?

Xiao Rui, who didn't know the reason, could only order someone to serve tea and chat with the Japanese envoys.

Ashikaga Yumi was also taken aback by His Majesty's actions. She looked a little worried, thinking that she had offended His Majesty rudely.

Xiao Rui comforted: "Miss Ashikaga, don't worry, Your Majesty needs to leave because of other things, and it has nothing to do with you."

Ashikaga Yumi nodded, showing a sweet smile, and said: "Thank you for your explanation, Your Highness, the prince. I have heard of the prince's name for a long time, and seeing him today really deserves his reputation."

Xiao Rui looked at Yumi Ashikaga. Although this woman is extremely beautiful, she will not surprise His Majesty so much. What happened?

Suddenly, Xiao Rui was taken aback because he noticed that Ashikaga Yumi was somewhat similar to his aunt Ye Qianying.

.........

It is said that Emperor Xia left the Hall of Mental Cultivation and returned to the Imperial Study Room. He was stunned for a while and asked, "Does it look like it?"

Hai Dafu, who was following behind, respectfully said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it looks, it looks so good."

Emperor Xia sighed, and then took out the portrait of the clothes from the brocade box on the table. After opening it, there was a picture of an extremely beautiful woman inside. The paper of the portrait seems to have been used for a long time, and there are traces of yellowing.

Emperor Xia stretched out his hand to lightly touch the woman in the portrait, and called softly, "Lan'er..."

The woman in the portrait is none other than Xiao Rui's mother, Ye Qianlan!

This painting is also the last portrait of Ye Qianlan in the world. The other portraits were destroyed because of the Queen Mother at that time, so even Xiao Rui didn't know what his mother looked like when she was young.

This painting was collected by Emperor Xia, and he would only take it out to look at it when he missed it.

If Xiao Rui were here, he would not be surprised by his mother's appearance, but would be shocked by another thing!

That is, Ashikaga Yumi is 80-90% similar to the mother in the portrait!

The biggest difference is that the mother has a mole on the left corner of the eye, but Ashikaga Yumi does not!

There are countless people in the world, and there are not no similar people.

It is not surprising that Huang Qilin was able to find a similar person to take the place of the dead ghost, and other people have similarities.

But now he was met by Emperor Xia.
