The system forced me to be emperor

"Second brother is already too far ahead of us. If we succeed again this time, our disadvantage will be even greater. Are you willing to see this situation?" Xiao Jing said in a deep voice.

Xiao Yan said in a low voice: "The candidate for the chief examiner is appointed by the imperial father, and we are the ones who speak up the most. Myna, do you want to unite with us to control the second brother?"

Xiao Jingjing nodded and said, "As long as the second brother won't be allowed to win, it's fine for other people to be the chief examiner. Seventh brother, come quickly and have an idea, what do you think?"

Xiao Rui wished to see him and Xiao Yiheng fight, but after thinking about it, he said: "I'm already tired of my second brother, so I won't make trouble with this matter anymore. You do what you do, and I will cheer for you."

"Okay!" Xiao Jing didn't insist.

While speaking, the eight of them had already entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Sit down, I'm keeping you here to hear your suggestions. There are no outsiders here, so let me tell you what you think." Emperor Xia waved his hand, and the eunuchs in the hall served tea.

The eight people sat down one after the other, and after hearing Emperor Xia's question, they looked at each other, and Xiao Yiheng said directly: "Father, my minister recommended Zhou Mingwen, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. Master Zhou has served as the right servant of the Ministry of Rites for three years. He is clean and has excellent political achievements, so it is very suitable for him to be the chief examiner of the imperial examination!"

Emperor Xia nodded, but did not speak.

Xiao Jing tore it up directly, and sneered: "Father, the King of Chu really does not avoid relatives, but my son thinks Lord Zhou is not suitable at all! Although he is the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, he is in charge of the Ministry of Food and the Department of Host and Guest. And it is suitable, Mr. Feng Gongxian, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, is more suitable, he has been the left servant for more than ten years, and has presided over two sessions of examinations, so he has rich experience!"

Xiao Yiheng frowned, and quickly looked at Xiao Jing, he didn't expect to be ridiculed by King Jing, when did he offend him?

But Xiao Jing ignored Xiao Yiheng's gaze, and looked ahead without aiming out of the corner of his eye.

Emperor Xia nodded again, seeming to agree with Xiao Jing's answer.

Xiao Yiheng immediately said: "Father, Lord Feng is old. If the imperial examinations are entrusted to him again, I am worried that such an old official will become sick from overwork, and good things will turn into bad things. Lord Zhou and Lord Feng are officials in the same yamen. He is also one of the servants of the Ministry of Rites, and the two of them often exchange ideas, Master Zhou must have profound experience, and he is the most suitable examiner appointed by imperial court."

"No!" Xiao Jing immediately retorted: "Master Feng is old and healthy, and his body is in good health. Just as the father said, the imperial examination is a grand event for the selection of pillars for the country. It is a major event. Master Feng must be grateful for Dai Ze's trust. , Be sure to be the chief examiner! I also ask my father to enlighten me!"

Xiao Yiheng frowned, secretly guessing in his heart, could it be that Xiao Jing had already won over Feng Gongxian?

That bad old man, the last time he was recruited by a corporal, he pretended to be clean, but he didn't expect to take refuge in King Jing, it's really unreasonable!

At this time, Emperor Xia looked at the others and asked, "What about you? What's your opinion?"

The eldest prince Xiao Lie said: "Father, King Chu and King Jing are all polite. Since it is difficult to choose between the right and left servants of the Ministry of Rites, why not let Zuo Zong, a Hanlin scholar, be the examiner? The chief examiner is also a great encouragement to candidates all over the world."

"Zuo Zong can do it, but there are many capable people in the Imperial Academy, and the Mingdao University scholar is a senior with profound knowledge, why not choose him?" Xiao Ming retorted.

For a while, several princes recommended officials they were familiar with, only Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan remained silent.

Xia Huang listened to several princes arguing back and forth, saying that the father was right and the wife was right, he was not irritable, and even his expression was never tired of it.

Just when Xiao Rui was feeling bored, the system unexpectedly jumped out to join in the fun and set him a task.

"Ding dong...Newly added, please check the host!"

Come to the task at this time, is it difficult for the system to let me win the recommendation of the chief examiner of the imperial examination?

If that's the case, fuck it, I don't even have a candidate to recommend!

He turned on the system to check, and when he saw it, he was immediately dumbfounded, and couldn't help cursing: "I'll go!"

The voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone in the hall.

Xiao Yiheng was trying to recommend Zhou Mingwen, but was interrupted by Xiao Rui, who sarcastically said: "Although the seventh brother is quite talented, the position of examiner must be taken by a highly respected and talented official, so don't even think about it."

"That's right! Could it be that Seventh Brother doesn't even understand this truth?" Xiao Ming also sarcastically said.

Xia Huang smiled and said: "You and Xiao Jiu have been silent all this time, now that you have spoken out, do you have something to say? The others have already said it, so you two should not be silent."

Xiao Rui cupped his hands and said: Father, my son obeys.The son-in-law felt that the imperial examination was a major event of the country, and it must be done according to the rules. In the past, the imperial examination was presided over by the Ministry of Rites.In the Ministry of Rites, Master Shangshu is also the position of the cabinet scholar. He is busy with official duties and cannot be the chief examiner, so he can only choose from the two ministers.Just as the king of Chu said, Mr. Feng, the left servant, is old, so it is better not to let him work hard, so the minister’s opinion is that Mr. Zhou, the right servant, will be the chief examiner, and Mr. Feng will be one of the three deputy examiners. The examiner is appointed from the Hanlin Academy, isn't that the selection? "

"King Xian is right!" Xiao Yan quickly followed and expressed his opinion.

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yiheng looked at Xiao Rui's expression and instantly changed for the better.

Xiao Jing frowned immediately, and gave Xiao Rui a hard look, didn't he say he would not participate?You actually support Xiao Yiheng now!Are you dumb?

Xiao Lie, Xiao Ming and others also frowned, they didn't expect Xiao Rui to support Xiao Yiheng.

Emperor Xia smiled and said: "This method is also suitable, what do you think?"

"Father, King Xian is wise, what you said is brilliant!" Xiao Yiheng immediately affirmed.

The third prince, Xiao Ze, never cared much about government affairs, so he also helped out: "I think this method is also acceptable!"

Now, four of the eight princes support this suggestion, Xiao Jing is annoyed in his heart, but he is powerless to refute.

"Okay! Let's make it like this." Emperor Xia smiled and finally finalized the candidate.

Xiao Rui breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Xiao Jing still glaring at him, Xiao Rui couldn't laugh or cry inwardly.

Don't blame me, it's a mission!

"New task: Help Zhou Mingwen, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, to win the position of chief examiner of the imperial examination. The task completion score is +20. If the task fails, he will have diarrhea for ten days."

So in order not to have diarrhea, Xiao Rui can only complete the task, and he urgently needs these 20 points, because it will come again.

Chapter 190: New Arrival: Unexpected!

Now that the candidates for the chief examiners of the imperial examination have been selected, there is no need for the princes to stay, so Emperor Xia waved his hand and asked them to leave the palace.

Xiao Jing was so annoyed that he threw up his sleeves and left first.

Xiao Yiheng hated Xiao Rui because of Yan Xiaoxiao's matter, but today he was "helped" by Xiao Rui, and his mind immediately became active. After all, after his investigation, he found that the relationship between Xiao Rui and Yan Xiaoxiao was only limited to rescue and After being rescued, the two of them didn't develop any further. He, Xiao Yiheng, hated Xiao Rui because of this incident, and he was a little dizzy.

So he took the opportunity to slow down, walked in front of Xiao Rui, and said with a smile: "Seventh brother, thank you for your righteous words today, are you free today, come to my house for a glass of water and wine? Your sister-in-law has been talking about you for many days."

Xiao Rui looked at Xiao Yiheng, really wanted to give him a brick, let him know why the flowers are so popular!He used to regard me as an enemy, but now he has started to respect me as a brother and friend again. Sure enough, all the men except myself are big pigs!

"Okay, let's bother second brother then." Xiao Rui smiled all over his face, looking flattered.

"The host is really cheap." The system couldn't help it, and jumped out a few characters.

Xiao Rui ignored the system's jealousy, it was just jealous of its own ability to stretch and bend, if it wanted to be big, it would be big, if it wanted to be small, it would be small!

As a good man, this is the quality that should be good.

Xiao Yiheng was very satisfied with Xiao Rui's attitude, and his tone became more kind, and even looked at Xiao Yan very pleasingly, and asked, "Ninth brother, why don't we go together?"

Xiao Yan nodded first, then shook his head: "No, today I have an appointment with a friend, you guys talk. Second brother, seventh brother, younger brother will go first."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yan hurried away, blinking his left eye at Xiao Rui as he left, as if asking, "Seventh brother, what the hell are you doing?"

Xiao Rui gave him a look back: "None of your business!"

After leaving the palace, Xiao Rui got into his carriage and headed for Chu Palace.
