The system forced me to be emperor

Emperor Xia waved his hand and said, "Hmph, don't care about the impeachment of those admonishers, they are pure streamers, so naturally they can't understand your actions. You have been impeached many times anyway, just get used to it!"

Xiao Rui pretended to be pitiful, and said: "It is a trivial matter to be impeached. The main reason is that I offended a lot of dignitaries this time, as well as a few princes. It is estimated that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty hate my ministers to death. The ministers have a shallow foundation. There is no one who can help, and I am afraid that the situation in the future will be even more difficult."

"With my support, do you still find it difficult?" Emperor Xia asked with a smile.

Xiao Rui also smiled, proudly said: "Of course it won't be difficult, the support of the emperor is the greatest support!"

At this time, Hai Dafu and Yan Xiaoxiao brought food and drinks, and they retreated, leaving a space for them to get along alone.

Xiao Rui poured wine for Emperor Xia, and Emperor Xia seemed to have opened up the chatterbox, and for the first time told Xiao Rui about his youth: "When the king rebelled against me, even though I was named a general by the previous emperor, the leader of the army was outside my hands. military power, but the civil servants in the imperial court made very few friends. Later, they jointly launched an attack, and countless admonishing ministers and Qingliu impeached me, do you know how I solved it?"

Xiao Rui shook his head.

Xia Huangdao: "In this world, there are very few people who are not afraid of death. Don't look at the Confucian scholars' emphasis on sacrificing one's life for righteousness, but how many Qingliu and admonishing ministers will learn from death? It's all good at speaking. Admonishing ministers who really dare to sacrifice their lives for righteousness, It is impossible to stay in the court for a long time, and you will soon be squeezed out by civil and military officials and even encounter trouble. Unless the emperor intends to keep such people to maintain the court, he will do his best. So do you understand what I mean? "

Xiao Rui was astonished and said: "Father killed the Qingliu who impeached you?"

"It's not enough to kill once. Pick a few leaders, and if you check carefully, you will find that they have committed many crimes, such as colluding with the leader of the night king and intending to rebel. Such rebels will naturally be killed directly to make an example of others." Emperor Xia laughed.

Xiao Rui gave a thumbs up. If you check carefully, you will find that they have committed a lot of crimes, and even colluded with the traitor Night King. Father, father, do you think I don't know that Night King is your pawn?It seems that you are directly playing the role of framing and killing chickens to make an example to monkeys.

But these words can't be exposed, otherwise there will be no father-son relationship.

"I understand." Xiao Rui naturally understood Emperor Xia's instruction.

Xia Huangdao: "You just mentioned that none of the Dukes sent anyone to buy the invitation letter?"

"Before my son entered the palace, Duke Rui and Duke Jing sent people to come, but the other Dukes must be busy, so they forgot for a while." Xiao Rui replied.

Duke Rui and Duke Jingguo sent people here, naturally it was the role of Xiao Ze and Xiao Yan.

Emperor Xia nodded and said: "You don't have to go to court tomorrow morning, I will take care of those busy people. You have to care about the people even when you are busy. Charity is also a virtue!"

"Yes!" Xiao Rui was overjoyed. First, he came to the palace to report the situation, and second, he came to the palace to take advantage of his father's mouth, to take a good look at the group of aristocratic families who consider themselves noble. Hmph, don't you want to buy invitations? ?Sorry, the price will increase tomorrow.As for the third...

"Father, there is one more thing. Have you finished writing your calligraphy and painting? There are also treasures donated by the harem, can you hand them over to my ministers tomorrow? Also, send me some Jin Yiwei." Xiao Rui said.

Emperor Xia said speechlessly: "I won't miss you. I will send someone to send you there tomorrow morning! Remember, no corruption is allowed."

"Is this son of a person like that?" Xiao Rui immediately spoke righteously.

The two drank a few cups, and it was getting late, so Xiao Rui said goodbye and left the palace.

Just when Xiao Rui got up, Emperor Xia suddenly remembered something, and asked: "By the way, Hao Yun, the censor of the left deputy capital, was the first to buy the invitation letter? I don't want to mention whether his salary is enough, it's because of his temperament." , it is unlikely to buy an invitation letter!"

Xiao Rui was startled and didn't dare to speak.He actually ignored this point, His Majesty can detect the problem, can't other wily people see it?

Wouldn't this reveal the relationship between Hao Yun and Xiao Rui?

At this moment, Emperor Xia suddenly said: "I have asked Du Shaonian to come forward. The invitation letter bought by Hao Yun was handed over to Du Shaonian in front of many inspectorate officials. He bought it for Du Shaonian. The young man wants to bring his nephew to see the world, the Du family is a big family, they don't care about 1000 taels of silver."

Xiao Rui secretly heaved a sigh of relief. With Emperor Xia's sham cover-up, no one would guess the relationship between Hao Yun and Xiao Rui, and they were still hiding in the dark, making suggestions for Xiao Rui.

However, he couldn't hide it from his father.

But then, Xiao Rui smiled wryly in his heart, either he couldn't hide it now, or he couldn't hide it from His Majesty a long time ago.Perhaps when he dealt with Han Mobei last time, he had already seen it clearly.

What a fart that I went to the palace to report. With the means of my father, I already knew everything that happened.

So Xiao Rui cupped his hands and responded, "I understand."

Emperor Xia taught another sentence: "Think everything over and over again, a random mistake can make your efforts go in vain."

"My son, remember." Xiao Rui was even more respectful.

"Go down." Emperor Xia waved his hand, making Xiao Rui retreat.

Emperor Xia drank another cup, got up and came to the front of the hall, looking at the heavy snow flying outside, his thoughts did not know what came to mind.When Hai Dafu brought the cloak, he came back to his senses.

"Your Majesty, it's too cold outside, let's go back to the palace." Hai Dafu said respectfully.

Emperor Xia nodded, couldn't help sighing, and asked: "Hai Banban, you helped the filial and sage Empress Dowager back then. After I ascended the throne, you have been by my side all the time. You should know my hesitation!"

"The villain understands." Hai Dafu said respectfully.

Emperor Xia asked: "Do you think I did something wrong? Shouldn't the future of the Great Xia Kingdom be placed on risk? Why not choose a prince who is not involved..."

Hai Dafu has always known how to protect himself wisely, dare not speak nonsense, and never speak nonsense.

But today, he hesitated for a long time, and said: "The villain only remembers that when His Majesty had nothing, he was never afraid of any difficulties. His Majesty once said that people should seize the day when they live. These words have always been engraved in the mind of the villain. .”

"Seize the day and night." Emperor Xia murmured, and then said with a smile: "I'm tired, let's move."

"Yes!" Hai Dafu immediately went down to make arrangements.

Chapter 204: The intestines are green with regret

The smoke is falling, the snow is falling, and the snow is piled up on the branches of plum blossoms.

The snow scene in the early morning is particularly poetic and picturesque. It has fallen all night, and now it is knee-high. Fortunately, the heavy snow is getting smaller and smaller. If it continues to cover it on the same scale as yesterday, the land will be covered in snow that day. .

Xiao Rui didn't have to go to the morning court, he slept until he woke up naturally.After the servant girl got dressed, she heard that a lot of people had gathered in front of the palace early in the morning, and they all came to buy invitations.In the early morning court, the Emperor Xia specially praised this charity auction, especially those dignitaries who were pretentious and self-important, and immediately sent people to collect donations in a hurry.

According to Xiao Rui's instructions, Li Yuanfang met with the stewards of these powerful mansions, and then put them on the table regardless of the invitation letter, and said solemnly: "I'm sorry, everyone, and welcome all the housekeepers to show love and actively raise donations on behalf of the adults of your mansion, but due to the invitation The production of the letter is tight, and it is really out of stock, so the invitation letter for this donation will not be presented as a gift.”

As soon as these words came out, the stewards' eyes shifted from Li Yuanfang to the invitation letter on the table.

What's this?Are we all blind?

But they didn't dare to force it. This is Xianwang's mansion, and they might be thrown out if they spoke a little loudly. Look at the black man standing next to him, holding two axes in his hand, how can there be such an ugly person!Who dares to resist a word.

"Brother, my lord is worried about the people. Can you make an invitation letter for the donation of 500 taels?" a steward asked respectfully.

Li Yuanfang smiled and said: "Your family cares about charity, so I will try my best to make one."

After speaking, Li Yuanfang raised his hand and picked up an invitation letter.

The other stewards looked at each other and touched the bank notes on their waists, feeling hopeless.

......

Xiao Rui didn't care about this little episode. After he had breakfast, a Jinyiwei Qianhu brought over the treasures donated by His Majesty, Empress, and noble concubines. Xiao Rui checked them out one by one and was quite satisfied.

Especially Xiahuang's calligraphy is guaranteed to make money.

Qian Hu was tall and thin, and respectfully said: "His Royal Highness, the last general Zhao Zihao was ordered by the commander to fully cooperate with His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness, please do not hesitate to order."

Xiao Rui nodded, and said: "Okay, first send these treasures to the Zhuangyuan Building, and then you go to the famous Zhenbao Pavilion in the capital, find an expert who knows how to appreciate them, and ask him to write an explanation of the origin of these treasures. This king needs to use it during activities, and it must be a good treasure when you read it out, so that dignitaries have to buy it.”
