The system forced me to be emperor

Emperor Xia nodded and said with a smile: "Sit down, I'm too excited to see you jumping up in excitement, I'm still very relieved when you do things."

"It's an honor for my father to trust me so much." Xiao Rui said obediently.

Emperor Xia couldn't help sighing: "If your other elder brothers are as obedient as you, how great would it be?"

"What's the matter, father?" Xiao Rui asked.

Emperor Xia said: "Do you know that all five of your elder brothers entered the palace this morning, and strongly opposed the list of official replacements presented by the Ministry of Officials. I don't know what they have in mind?"

After hearing this, Xiao Rui understood what the list was, and couldn't help but sarcastically said, "The officials are so efficient?"

Emperor Xia also nodded with a smile, and then asked, "Why, you don't have a name to recommend?"

Xiao Rui replied: "My son is relatively low-key and doesn't know much about officials. Why bother to make trouble for the father and add unnecessary trouble. And the father, those are officials below the fifth rank. They are selected by the cabinet and presented to the father for review. Now, why do you need to work hard, father, the emperor brothers are really too much."

"That's right! I won't be allowed to be quiet for a year. Zhe Zizhen has already returned to the cabinet. Let Li Mingyang take care of this matter." Emperor Xia laughed.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Li Shoufu is dedicated to serving the public, so he will definitely be able to handle this matter well. It is the end of the year, and there must be many people who want to come and visit his house, and there must be a lot of traffic in front of the door."

Emperor Xia glanced at Xiao Rui, ignored his words at all, but said: "It's not unreasonable for Li Shoufu to be able to hold the position of chief minister of the cabinet, and he has been so stable for six years."

"I really admire Li Shoufu, and I must learn from him." Xiao Rui immediately changed his mind.

Emperor Xia suddenly remembered Xiao Rui's marriage, and said: "The champion Hou will leave Beijing after the fourth day of junior high school, and he will not object to your marriage with Zhuge Liuying. His mother has passed away for less than three years, so wait a little longer. Champion Hou cannot take care of filial piety for the sake of loyalty, and cannot be filial for his mother. It is also disrespectful to the old man to give the marriage presumptuously. You are still young, and you are only ten years old after the new year. Eight, if your career is not successful, don't rush to get married."

Xiao Rui said: "I'm not in a hurry, my father is in charge of this matter."

"Speaking of marriage, Concubine Yun has been begging to see me these days, implying insinuatingly that King Ke wants to marry Li Mingyang's granddaughter Li Ruoxue as his side concubine, saying that the two are in love with each other. It seems that King Ke will have to beg me in the next year." Emperor Xia. road.

"Cut..." Xiao Rui couldn't hold back, and sneered.

Emperor Xia stared and said, "What are you laughing at?"

"My minister laughed at Concubine Yun and said that the two are in love. It's a big joke." Xiao Rui said, "Look, my son, it's because Lang Youqing has no intention of marrying her, so I have no choice but to ask my father to marry me."

"How do I feel, there is some sour taste in your words?" Emperor Xia joked.

Xiao Rui said depressedly: "There's no such thing as a sour taste, I'm just complaining about sister Ruoxue, once my father bestows a marriage, I'll kill a woman, hey..."

"Crack!" Emperor Xia was so angry that he patted the table and chairs, and asked, "You are so brave, you dare to slander me! When did I ever harm someone!"

Xiao Rui was straightforward, and regretted it after he finished speaking. Although His Majesty scolded him, but seeing that his face was not angry, he was relieved and said, "I know I was wrong."

Emperor Xia snorted, "If you also like her, you can also ask me for a marriage."

Xiao Rui said depressedly: "Father, my son is wrong, it's okay, how could my son have such thoughts!"

"I really have no idea?" Emperor Xia shook his head and sighed, and said, "A man, if you like something, you will get it! If you don't get it, you have to fight for it, and you have to grab it! This is the true character of a man! If you want everything If you worry, you will never achieve anything! Remember, you can talk about it after you have done it first, and you can think about it in the process if it is successful or not!"

Xiao Rui really wanted to refute him. This kind of wolfish thinking is indeed a good character, but it is not useful for everything. Without careful consideration, what if you step into the abyss?

Emperor Xia seemed to have seen Xiao Rui's thoughts, and said again: "Looking at history, you will find that those who achieve great things all have the attitude of success or success. Treat everything with this attitude, and it will urge You do things well, this is a hint from the heart, and it is also a kind of inner strength."

Xiao Rui was silent, he listened to His Majesty's words in his heart, did he have too many worries, always worried that he was not strong enough, lack of connections, so he was timid, afraid to really fight, to grab?

People are dead and birds are up to the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years. I have always known this truth, but I have never really understood this truth.

Xiao Rui got up again and saluted respectfully: "Father, my son has been taught."

Emperor Xia nodded in relief, and said, "Very good."

A thought suddenly occurred in Xiao Rui's heart, and he couldn't help asking: "Father, my son has something to say, I don't know if I should ask it or not!"

"You ask!" Emperor Xia nodded.

Xiao Rui took a deep breath, and asked for the first time his inner curiosity: "Why did my son's mother and concubine die? Is it really sick?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Rui's restless heart suddenly calmed down.

Chapter 229: The mystery of the bullish life experience

At this moment, there are only Xiao Rui, Xia Huang and Hai Dafu serving in the hall.

Hearing Xiao Rui's question, Hai Dafu couldn't help sneaking a peek at Xiao Rui, but he didn't expect His Royal Highness King Xian to ask about it.

It stands to reason that the smarter Xiao Rui is, the less he will ask about the cause of his mother's concubine's death, because with his in-depth investigation, he knows that there is a big problem with his mother's concubine's death, and he will implicate His Majesty. Does the emperor have anything to do with it?Isn't it just asking for trouble.Now the fight for the crown prince is a major event, so there is no need to rush to ask for a while.

Without further ado, they are still good fathers and sons!

And Emperor Xia looked at Xiao Rui, with nostalgia in his eyes, he could still see traces of his mother and concubine from Xiao Rui's appearance, and the voice, appearance and appearance in his mind could not be removed, affecting his inner thoughts.

"I thought that after you met Ye Qianying, you would be more cautious, and you would keep your words in your heart and not ask too many questions. I didn't expect that what you said today gave you the courage." Xia Huang said happily.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "I didn't dare to ask more questions at first, but my father's teaching gave me the courage to know everything anyway, why not ask my father personally."

Xiao Rui had his own ideas, and in the letter Ye Qianying left him at the foot of Pudu Temple, he said: Maybe Emperor Xia will tell him the truth.

So Xiao Rui thinks that his father is not playing the role of a bad person.

And if he is a bad person, there is no difference whether to ask early or late, and there is only harm, so it is better to ask early.

Don't forget that I have a long-term mission, which is to investigate the mystery of my mother's life experience, which can be used as a means to prove the truth of what my father said.

If the father is telling the truth, it's fine.But if you tell a lie and it doesn't match the long-term mission, then Xiao Rui should be cautious!

I saw Huang Xia sighed, and said leisurely: "Originally, I calculated that Ye Qianying will contact you after you leave Beijing and travel around, and slowly let you know the truth, then you will not be able to resist asking me... .In that case, it doesn't matter if I tell you, I have to tell you, and you have to face it. Listen carefully, your mother and concubine are indeed not infected with a disease, but poisoned to death."

"Who?" Xiao Rui had already guessed.

Xia Huang shook his head and said: "I won't tell you who it is, but let me tell you about your mother's life experience."

"You should know that the Great State of Zhao and the State of Great Qi have been married for generations. In terms of relationship, Emperor Zhao is still Emperor Qi's uncle." Xia Huang said: "However, the relationship between this uncle and nephew is a bit far away. In fact, now The woman married by Qi Huang's uncle is Zhao Huang's younger sister, so Qi Huang has this relationship with Zhao Huang according to seniority!"

Xiao Rui was a little confused, what does this have to do with his mother's background?

Emperor Xia smiled and said, "Next, it's normal for you to be surprised by what I said! Your mother's father and mother, that is, your maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother, one is the prince of Da Qi, and the other is Da Zhao. The eldest princess of the country! And you, have the blood of the royal family of the Three Kingdoms, that is to say, your uncle is Zhao Huang, and your cousin is Qi Huang!"

Hey!

Xiao Rui was completely dumbfounded.

Is my blood so powerful?This relationship is too confusing.

"Father, how did you meet my concubine mother?" Xiao Rui asked.

Emperor Xia showed memories, and smiled: "Of course your mother and concubine traveled all over the world. When you came to the Great Xia Kingdom, you met me who was traveling in a low-clothed suit. How should I put it about feelings? In short, we stayed together. Although I knew at the time The background of your mother and concubine is not simple, but I didn't expect it to be so complicated. Later, I took the initiative to reveal my identity, but your mother lied to me that she was the daughter of a powerful person in Qi State. Although I also sent people to Qi State to investigate, it was covered up, so The information found was also false."

"After I had you, not long after, your grandfather also found out the truth, and secretly lied to contact your mother and concubine, and asked her to secretly poison and kill me. Your mother and concubine were naturally unwilling. At the same time, Zhao Huang also I found out that your mother became the Empress Dowager of Great Xia, and let her be unfavorable to me, and was rejected by your mother. In the end, the embarrassed Zhao Huang passed the news to the filial and sage Empress Dowager."
