The system forced me to be emperor

And in the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the holiday was about to end.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there is the most lively lantern activity in the capital, and there is no curfew today, leaving enough time for entertainment for the people.

Early in the morning, Xiao Yan ran over, and the champion Hou Chusi set off for Beijun Town. Tian Boguang and Zhang Lianchuan also followed. The two officially became members of the army. Fame, start your own business.So there was no one to play with him, so he came to pester Xiao Rui early.

Xiao Rui had a very happy time this year, but Jia Xu and Guo Jia were not idle. They both took care of everything big and small. In the past ten days, a lot of things happened, and they just needed to report to Xiao Rui , but Xiao Yan pestered Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui was so angry that he invited Xiao Qingqing and Zhuge Liuying to restrain Xiao Yan.

In the study room, Xiao Rui, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Li Yuanfang were discussing recent major events.

I only heard Jia Xu say: "His Royal Highness, during this time, Li Yuanfang visited King Ke's mansion three times at night, and not only handed over our poison to Ge Hong, but also successfully refined the chronic poison into the alchemy. Calculated according to the time of taking it, two At the beginning of the month, the Queen's body will gradually have problems, and we will be able to implement this plan by writing a secret letter to Xiao Yiheng."

"It seems that before leaving the capital, it is also a surprise to be able to expel Xiao Ming from the capital. Of course, Ge Hong's safety must also be protected! This king promised Fengxiao!" Xiao Rui said solemnly.

Guo Jia cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you don't have to worry about my righteous brother's safety. The only alchemist in Kewang's mansion who knows how to refine all the tribute pills is my righteous brother. Although he is imprisoned, he is delicious, as long as the queen is not poisonous." If it is sent, he will not have to worry about his life, Your Highness can rest assured."

Xiao Rui felt at ease now, as long as Ge Hong is rescued, Guo Jia's loyalty points will be at full value, completely tying this great god to his warship.

At this time, Jia Xu talked about the second matter: "His Royal Highness, since you visited Queen Ruyang, he did secretly investigate the personnel of the palace, but judging by the scale, he only targeted some insignificant people. The sound was loud and the rain was small, and the number of staff and guests was not cut. After Feng Xiao and I combined, we felt that there was something wrong with King Ruyang, so we had to guard against it. But this person is very scheming, and the current evidence cannot deduce his conspiracy."

Xiao Rui pursed his lips. When it comes to Xiao Qingqing, it is impossible to start hostile to King Ruyang just because he suspects that there is something wrong with him.

"As soon as possible let Wei Zhongxian grasp all the spy strength of the first division, and now it's time to use him." Xiao Rui said.

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I have already told Li Yuanfang to only know him, let him first control the spies of Ruyang Palace, Chu Palace and Ke Palace. Our top priority is to focus on these three palaces. Others can be temporarily delayed." Slow down."

"Haha... I can sit back and relax when my husband and Feng Xiao are working together!" Xiao Rui admired.

Jia Xu went on to say: "Wei Zhongxian also deeply knows the importance of His Highness to him, so he has already controlled the secret agents of Chu Palace, and secretly sent me a copy of the investigation news, and the next thing I want to say is, just It has something to do with Chu Palace, and it has something to do with Zhang Yizhi!"

Xiao Rui raised his brows, suddenly became interested, and quickly asked: "It has something to do with Zhang Yizhi? Isn't Zhang Yizhi working with Du Xueqin, the side concubine of King Chu? Could it be that a spy from Dongchang happens to be the person next to this side concubine? "

"Your Highness knows things like a god, that's right, this side concubine's confidant maid is the spy placed by Dongchang." Jia Xu said: "Your Highness may not have imagined that on the night of the New Year's Eve, the king of Chu took his concubine Li Xiu'er to The imperial palace attended a family banquet, and this side concubine got drunk and slept with Zhang Yizhi!"

"Fuck!"

Xiao Rui was shocked.

So, Zhang Yizhi didn't have any relationship with Li Xiu'er, but instead fell in love with his side concubine Du Xueqin?What is this called, flowers blooming inside the wall and fragrant outside the wall?Or is it unintentional?

Jia Xu laughed and said: "Your Highness does not know, this side concubine has a warm personality and is a bit bold and unrestrained. His Highness Chu Wang is only thinking about the great cause, and he is neither cold nor hot towards Princess Li Xiuer, so naturally he doesn't like the side concubine's detached character. , Zhang Yizhi's appearance is only inferior to His Highness, he has a sweet mouth and talent, and it is extremely easy for the two of them to drink a little wine. According to the confidant maid, after the two of them sobered up, they were very frightened, but the side concubine Instead of killing Zhang Yizhi to prevent future troubles, on the contrary..."

"Two goals instead?" Xiao Rui asked.

Jia Xu nodded and said, "That's right, and the gangsters didn't stop until King Chu returned to the mansion."

Xiao Rui opened his mouth, and couldn't help asking: "Is my second brother's body sick? Both the main concubine and the side concubine don't like it, this..."

"Your Highness doesn't know anything! The King of Chu has a main concubine, two side concubines, and ten concubines. Not long ago, someone sent a beauty to the King of Chu. He likes it very much and stays overnight every day." Jia Xu explained road.

Xiao Rui:......

What kind of prince am I? What a failure!

"Sir, what did you just say, how many concubines?" Xiao Rui was afraid that he didn't hear clearly, so he asked again.

Jia Xu coughed and said kindly: "Your Highness, now is not the time to talk about this."

The corner of Xiao Rui's mouth twitched, yes, it's not the time to talk about this, it's even more sad, after all, this year hasn't ended yet.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Rui calmed himself down, but the raging jealousy in his heart was still unquenchable!

This king can't do it!

At this time, Guo Jia came up with a stroke of genius: "What's the use of having too many concubines, like this side concubine, in case a son is born, whose child is it?"

Xiao Rui immediately got excited and regained his vitality: "Come on, let's continue talking. Since this side concubine Du and Zhang Yizhilang have concubines and intentions, then change the previous plan and replace Li Xiuer with Du Xueqin! They must let their feelings Be careful and keep it secret, don't be discovered by Xiao Yiheng, wait for the critical moment, the critical blow!"

"Okay! Don't worry, Your Highness." Jia Xu said.

Xiao Rui nodded, then looked at Li Yuanfang, Li Yuanfang said: "His Royal Highness, Shen Wansan has started to study bamboo paper and clay movable type printing. Although there is no result yet, it is moving forward steadily. When encountering any problems, we will brainstorm and solve them specifically. So until now there has been no bottleneck that cannot be broken through. In addition, Wu Zhanfa recruited three reliable alchemists and started experiments with black powder. I followed His Highness's wishes and bought a manor near the Northwest Camp , the surrounding dozens of acres of land were also bought, the manor is located in the valley, the environment is quiet, after fifteen years, people will be arranged to repair it, and it will be the experimental base of His Highness in the future."

"Very good! We must strengthen our defense and secrecy. If we don't have enough manpower, or if we can't find a confidant, we should go to Zhuge Yuanba. He is still the commander of the Iron Dragon Rider. We just take advantage of his lack of transfer and ask him for someone." Xiao Xiao sharp road.

Li Yuanfang said solemnly: "Don't worry, Your Highness. By the way, Your Highness, there is one more small matter. What is the name of our secret base?"

Jia Xu and Guo Jia also stared at Xiao Rui.

That will be the clarion call for Xianwang Xiao Rui to rise.

"A golden horse and an iron horse can swallow thousands of miles like a tiger." Xiao Rui suddenly felt heroic: "It's called Huben Pavilion."

"Good name!" Jia Xu and Guo Jia praised at the same time.

The two are also full of hope in their hearts, and they are looking forward to the future.

Chapter 235: In a glimpse of freedom

After discussing with Jia Xu and Guo Jia, Xiao Rui went out to meet Xiao Yan. When he came to the main hall, he saw Zhuge Liuying and Xiao Qingqing chatting, and Xiao Yan was like the criticized brat, sitting there obediently, With a look of lovelessness.

Seeing Xiao Rui come out, with a different look on his face, he rushed over immediately and said flatteringly: "Brother Seven, you finally came out! I miss you so much!"

Seeing his expression, Xiao Rui really understood what flattery is!

"There are two beauties accompanying you, and you still look like you are in pain. It seems that you have a big opinion on Liuying and Qingqing!" Xiao Rui said deliberately.

Zhuge Liuying and Xiao Qingqing's gazes immediately fixed on Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan felt the cold wind blowing into his bones, and said righteously: "The two elder sisters are gentle, virtuous, beautiful and generous, how dare younger brother have any objections? Today is the [-]th, which is the Lantern Festival, but Seventh Brother has something to do, so he left the two sisters alone, and I'm fighting for the sisters!"

Zhuge Liuying said softly: "We are willing to wait!"

"That's right!" Xiao Qingqing also nodded.

Xiao Yan already wanted to die, why did he come to King Xian today, he was looking for insults!

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Okay, I've finished my work, and I can start now. The sun is setting slightly, and the excitement of the Lantern Festival has just begun, and the time is just right."

"I've inquired about it. This year's lanterns in Beijing are very novel, and there are many wonderful games, such as guessing lantern riddles, playing iron flowers, playing dragon lanterns, walking on stilts, running dry boats, dancing Yangko dances, playing waist drums, and making appointments after dusk." Xiao Rui. Excited.

The Lantern Festival is the last important festival in the Spring Festival customs, and it is also a very high festival in the Great Xia Kingdom. Especially for the young people, the Lantern Festival is the most lively.As the saying goes: the first month comes in the first month, the fifteenth day of the first month is full of lanterns, the lanterns are yellow, the lanterns are red, and the snow is hitting the lanterns for a good year.

After the Lantern Festival, the following year will have a good year.

In his previous life, apart from being keen on celebrating the New Year when he was a child, Xiao Rui had almost no expectations for the New Year when he grew up. He also dealt with how to celebrate the Lantern Festival with a bowl of Lantern Festival. It seemed that after eating the Lantern Festival, it was over.

In this life, in an era when entertainment facilities are extremely scarce, you may be able to truly feel the liveliness of the Lantern Festival.

"Xiao Jiu, you just said that you will make an appointment after dusk, it seems that your drunkenness is not about drinking?" Xiao Rui joked.

Xiao Yan snorted, "Maybe I can meet someone I like! Sister Liuying, you have to keep an eye on Seventh Brother later, don't let him get into trouble!"
