The system forced me to be emperor

Xiao Rui nodded and watched him leave.

"Yuanfang!" Xiao Rui shouted.

"Your Highness!" Li Yuanfang responded.

"Go to Dongchang, let Wei Zhongxian come to see me quietly, and send someone to call the golden leopard." Xiao Rui ordered.

Li Yuanfang set off immediately.

"Gao Quan, please invite your husband." Xiao Rui said again.

Gao Quan went to invite Jia Xu.

Xiao Rui stretched his waist, and it was time to start deploying the actions he planned.

Chapter 207: One Wall, One Bed, One Refrigerator

Jia Xu came to the study to meet Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui got up to greet him, and said with a smile: "Sir, please sit down, thank you for your hard work last night!"

"Your Highness, I'm just doing my best. It's up to His Highness to do the raising of money." Jia Xu said respectfully. He has been with Xiao Rui for almost a year, and Xiao Rui has always been very polite and respectful to him. Jia Xu was both moved and terrified, she was moved to meet a good master Mingjun, and she was terrified because she was afraid that her ability would be humble and she would be ashamed of His Highness's trust.

"Your Highness, did you call me here in a hurry?" Jia Xu was good at observing words and expressions, and when he saw Xiao Rui's raised eyebrows, he knew that his lord was going to play tricks...to make arrangements for the world.

Xiao Rui handed Jia Xu the test questions of the general examination that he had collected for several days.

Jia Xu flipped through the pages, but didn't know the secret, so he asked curiously: "These topics are..."

"These questions are the test questions of today's liberal arts meeting!" Xiao Rui laughed.

"What?" Jia Xu stood up suddenly, looked at Xiao Rui in shock, and then fixed her eyes on the title book in her hand.

I don't blame the old man for being too surprised, it's just that this matter is too shocking!

First of all, His Highness will not aim at nothing. Since he speaks so earnestly, he must have verified the result, but it shouldn't be!

Zhou Mingwen was the chief examiner of the imperial examination, and only he and His Majesty had seen the full set of questions. He absolutely did not dare to disclose it, because if it was leaked, it would be Zhou Mingwen who would be ruined.

Of course, he didn't dare to disclose it but dared to take advantage of it, such as cheating, disclosing the test questions to a few of his confidants and letting them go to high school, but this process was within his control and would not be discovered or noticed.

No matter how he used and cheated, the King of Chu might know about it, but he would never let King Xian know about it, and he got it!

"Your Highness, where do you come from for these exam questions?" Jia Xu asked hastily.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Sir, do you still remember the day when His Majesty summoned the princes and appointed Zhou Mingwen as the examiner? After I left the palace, I went to the Chu Palace to drink with my good second brother. Zhou Mingwen, who rushed to the Prince of Chu’s mansion in a hurry, thought he knew that he was the chief examiner, and couldn’t restrain his inner excitement, so he went to find the King of Chu. Coincidentally, we had a small friction on the street, and we were also frightened by the carriage. A question book fell out..."

Xiao Rui recounted the content of the test questions.

"However, this may also be Zhou Mingwen's essay. It can't prove that he knows the test questions?" Jia Xu said.

Xiao Rui smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, sir, I have already verified that these topics were indeed chosen by Zhou Mingwen, and he has already reported to His Majesty to tick them off. This year's imperial examination questions must be selected from them!"

Jia Xu was taken aback, never thought that her lord would have a mysterious method to verify the examination questions!Doesn't that mean that he has a way to see the test questions?

It seems that even I have underestimated His Highness!

But then, Jia Xu was overjoyed.

"Your Highness, this is a great gift! It can be used to bring down Zhou Mingwen, and it can even ruin his reputation! Zhou Mingwen is the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, and can be said to be Xiao Yiheng's right-hand man. How can we get rid of this arm, and he is usually far ahead of all the princes?" Xiao Yiheng will also suffer heavy losses!" Jia Xu's eyes flickered, and he said: "Besides, we can take this opportunity to push our own people to the top!"

Xiao Rui nodded, and said: "That's right, that's exactly what I mean! And I can't let us take the lead in dealing with Zhou Mingwen this time. King Jing has already won the position of escort, and because of his cousin's death, He is hating Xiao Yiheng, let the two bite, kill two birds with one stone!"

"Everyone knows that the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry have the most money. Only the Ministry of Rites is called Qingshui Yamen, but so many officials want to enter the Ministry of Rites. Its status is so high because of its purity! Many The cabinet scholars are all from the Ministry of Rites, and the chiefs of this department are inextricably linked with Yushi, Qingliu, Confucian scholars, and scholars from all over the world. Otherwise, Zhou Mingwen would not have worked hard to become the right servant."

"I am now relying on the champion. This is considered to be the top of the military general line, but the civilian line has no roots. If I can recommend someone to be the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, then my support will be thicker. So My husband and I have the same opinion, we must push our people to the top."

"Now, I don't have anyone to recommend, so I should take advantage of this time to win over my confidants. Your Highness, who do you think we can win over from the Ministry of Rites?"

Jia Xu made some calculations and said with a smile: "The Ministry of Rites has jurisdiction over the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Ancestral Hall, the Ministry of Catering, and the Four Divisions of Host and Guest. Secretary, if he steps down, he will basically promote the second minister to the right servant, of course, it is also possible to be transferred, but the probability is not high."

"I have investigated the catering department and the host and guest department doctors. They are all Zhou Mingwen's people. It is difficult or impossible to win over. But Cui Changwen from the Rites Department is a personal choice!"

"Cui Changwen was born in the imperial examination. He once won the second place. When he was at the bottom of the list to catch his son-in-law, he was favored by Zhou Mingwen's cousin. But this man has a marriage contract, and the woman is also a poor farmer. The Zhou family's kindness, and abided by the agreement to marry the woman. This person started from the compilation of the Imperial Academy and had no connections. He became a doctor of the Ministry of Rites by virtue of his own ability. Appreciate his character."

"This person has not joined any prince camp. One is disdain, and the other is that he has his own dignity. Your Highness can win him over, but when I say win over, I don't use money or power, but treat each other with courtesy and let him see Seeing His Highness's sincerity also let him see His Highness's talents and ambitions. He is very proud, but he is not a pedantic person. He understands that the dispute between the princes will intensify, and the situation between the court and China will inevitably change greatly. It is like the downfall of Duke Qi and Han Mobei, because His Majesty acquiesced in this. This is also His Majesty's brilliance, through the prince's dispute, the stagnant water of the court can be revived."

Xiao Rui nodded approvingly, just like the fall of Han Mobei, the governor of the left army's governor's mansion stepped down, but who got the real benefit?Nobody got it!

Cui Changwen is a smart person, and he will join the fight for the crown prince, but he has his own dignity and arrogance, and now no prince will lower himself to win over a doctor from the Ministry of Rites, this is his embarrassment.

And if Xiao Rui can do it, I believe he will be pleasantly surprised.

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Okay! Then win over Cui Changwen! Sir, I'm sorry for your creative opportunity."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will leave this matter to you!" Jia Xu laughed.

Xiao Rui nodded and mentioned other things: "By the way, I asked Li Yuanfang to invite Wei Zhongxian."

"Your Highness wants Wei Zhongxian to deal with Wei Dabao while he is helping the poor?" Jia Xu understood Xiao Rui's intention.

Xiao Rui asked: "That's right, I feel that with so much money, Wei Dabao won't be able to control his hands."

Jia Xu nodded, he suddenly thought of something, and immediately smiled: "Your Highness, you can actually set up a trap to make Wei Dabao even more uncontrollable."

"Oh? What kind of trap?" Xiao Rui asked curiously.

"I've always wondered why Wei Dabao is greedy for money? So I checked it out and found that Wei Dabao was on business in Dongchang all day long. He neither gambled nor spent money. What relatives, tell me, he is greedy for so much money, what about the money? With his current status, only Hai Dafu is worthy of his filial piety, so we can’t give it all to Hai Dafu.” Jia Xu asked curiously.

Xiao Rui frowned, inexplicably thinking of a TV series he saw in his previous life.In this life, I don't want a luxury house or a luxury car. I just want to have a wall, a bed, and a refrigerator as companions. Even if I have garlic in clear soup and noodles every day, that's enough!

After watching it, Xiao Rui couldn't help complaining, Nima, this is also my pursuit!

Could it be that Wei Dabao also had the same awareness?

"Sir, do you think Wei Dabao will hide the money?" Xiao Rui asked.

Jia Xu said: "I also have this idea!"

Xiao Rui slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Then find out! Then evacuate him! This way we have money, and if he has less money, he can't help but want to embezzle even more."

Jia Xu laughed, and said, "Your Highness is right."

While speaking, Li Yuanfang hurried back.

"Your Highness, I have notified Wei Zhongxian, and he will come to the secret room later." Li Yuanfang said.

Xiao Rui stood up and said, "Sir, let's move."

The two came to the secret room in the backyard, and Li Yuanfang stood guard in front of the courtyard.Not long after, Wei Zhongxian hurried over.
