The system forced me to be emperor

Who the hell stipulated that the boss must come first?How old am I and I haven't become a prince yet?

My heart is roaring, I can only hide my complaints in my stomach.

The expression on Xiao Lie's face was slightly stiff, and he stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Father, Concubine Yun perverts the rules and breaks the rules. Her heart is vicious and her crime is unforgivable. And King Ke is helping the king and committing crimes, knowingly breaking the law, so he cannot be easily forgiven, but considering the empress It's just that his body is a little sick, and it didn't cause too much harm. My minister suggested that King Ke be detained for one year and copy the "Book of Filial Piety" every day. , can be dismissed lightly."

After hesitating again and again, Xiao Lie decided to intercede for Xiao Ming.

Emperor Xia nodded, looked at King Chu again, and asked, "What about you?"

Xiao Yiheng snorted coldly, and said: "Father, the queen is the mother of a country. Fortunately, my son found out in time, otherwise the mother's life would be in danger. Such acts of murdering the mother of the country must be severely punished to imitate others! My son's opinion is Please the clan's government will deal with it according to the law, and it must not be tolerated."

Emperor Xia nodded again, then looked at the others, and said, "You all talk about it too."

The third prince Xiao Ze hesitated for a moment, and said: "I think what King Jin said makes sense!"

The fourth prince Xiao Feng found the way, and immediately said: "I think what the king of Chu said is reasonable!"

It was Xiao Rui's turn. Anyway, King Ke had already canceled the opportunity to compete for the crown prince. With a forgiving and forgiving attitude, Xiao Rui decided to support the second prince Xiao Yiheng's statement and deal with it according to the law.

"I support the king of Chu." Xiao Rui said respectfully.

Xiao Jing and Xiao Yiheng did not deal with each other, and replied: "The empress is a lucky person. Although Concubine Yun's methods are despicable and vicious, King Ke was also threatened by Concubine Yun and committed crimes. My minister agrees with King Jin's point of view, and give him A chance to turn around."

In the end, only Xiao Yan was left, and when he was about to express his opinion, Xia Huang suddenly waved his hand and said, "Forget about Xiao Jiu, needless to say."

Xiao Yan: ...

He looked at Emperor Xia resentfully, why didn't I say that I am also a prince!

Xia Huang sighed, and said: "The reason why I asked your opinion is because I am uncertain, so I ask you, so as to give me some reference. King Ke really messed up this time, and even used poison to murder the queen. Big mistake, but such bad behavior made me very angry. After the interrogation by the clan mansion, Concubine Yun bluntly said that he threatened King Ke, which caused King Ke to be involved, and made a big mistake. There is some truth in this statement, but Ke The king is no longer a child, he can't even tell what he can do and what he can't do, it's a royal disgrace."

Emperor Xia's tone was very regrettable, and he didn't show much anger.

The seven princes nodded secretly, thinking that His Majesty would be in trouble, but His Majesty said again:

"That's why I decided to cut off the title and title of the sixth prince Xiao Mingke, and demote him to a commoner! The cabinet will draw up an order to announce it to the world!"

Hey!

The seven princes were astonished, His Majesty's turn was too sudden, even Xiao Yiheng was surprised.Never would have expected His Majesty to be so decisive, to directly cut off the prince's title and demote him to be a commoner, so why ask the prince what's his opinion?

But immediately after, the princes were shocked and chilled all over their bodies.

Your Majesty, this is not asking for opinions, but a straightforward beating!They are here to beat the seven princes!

If you stretch your hands and feet too long and reach out to Zhen's side, don't say you are a prince, even a prince, it is a matter of being demoted to a commoner!

Xiao Rui really wanted to applaud, the royal father's trick is beautiful, I believe that after this happened, any prince would be honest and dare not target His Majesty and the harem, unless you think you can hide it from His Majesty, but it's a pity ,Mastering the stick, but aiming for the yard.

At this time, Emperor Xia's calm face burst into a smile, and said: "Well, the matter of King Ke is settled, and you don't have to worry about him. Although he has been demoted to a commoner, he has royal blood after all, and the clan will take good care of him." For him, as elder brothers and younger brothers, you should pay more attention to him."

"Yes!" All the princes responded in unison.

Emperor Xia nodded, he called the princes here today just to beat them.It is absolutely unforgivable to dare to put a poisonous hand into the harem. If they don't beat hard, they don't know how powerful they are, and they will make mistakes, and then they will not be clean.

In the battle for crown prince, you can compete whatever you want, as long as you don't let yourself know about it, after all, it is a duel between you.

Just like Xiao Yiheng killed Xiao Lie, His Majesty knew it, and it was only a small punishment. In the end, Xiao Lie caught Xiao Yiheng's handle, and Emperor Xia let Zhou Mingfa resign, completely quelling the farce.

Compared with King Ke's punishment, Xiao Yiheng's punishment was too light.

Scanning the seven princes in the hall, Emperor Xia sighed with emotion. In less than a year, the two princes were eliminated, which was faster than he imagined. Then, it is time to give them some bigger burdens. I don't know. Can they hold on.

"Hai Banban, did you just say that Song Ci entered the palace?" Xia Huang came back to his senses and asked Xiang Hai Dafu.

Hai Dafu said respectfully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Song Ci is already waiting outside the hall. The city that just entered at noon is full of dust."

"Let him rush from Jinhua Mansion, the boat is exhausting, it's hard work for him." Xia Huang laughed: "Let him come in."

Afterwards, Emperor Xia looked at the suspicious seven princes, and explained: "The position of Zuo Shilang in the Ministry of Punishment is now vacant, and there is no suitable official to fill it up. I happened to remember him, so I called him back."

Xiao Lie's breathing suddenly became short of breath, and he managed to overthrow Zhou Mingfa with great difficulty. He thought that the position of the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment was easily available, but he did not expect His Majesty to choose someone else!

Song Ci?Never heard of it!Who is it!

Xiao Yiheng was suddenly overjoyed. He had heard of Song Ci, who not only judged cases like a god, but also was fair and law-abiding. He was on duty at the local procuratorate all year round. He had a very good reputation among the people, and more importantly, no prince wooed him.If I can win him over, it's not too late.

Xiao Rui was also surprised, he didn't expect Song Ci to be promoted by His Majesty to be the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, but immediately, he was secretly delighted.

Song Ci is a descendant, as long as he completes his request, he can guarantee his loyalty value, so he can firmly control the position of the left servant of the Ministry of punishment, and as we all know, Shang Shukang of the Ministry of punishment is already an adult, and he will retire soon. The left and right servants must be capable candidates, especially the left servant, who has a greater chance of promotion.

In addition, Zhou Mingfa, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, will soon lose his reputation through this imperial examination. When Cui Changwen comes to power, he will also support him.Although the Ministry of Rites is the head of the Shangshu, Lu Yuanzheng, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, is a cabinet scholar, and he has no free time to manage the Ministry of Rites. The left and right servants are in charge, and the left servant is the main one!Cui Changwen's ascension is equivalent to mastering the Ministry of Rites!

Who dares to say that he has no connections at all?

The Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Rites are all their own people. No matter how hard we work, we can make the Ministry of Industry, which is still in a blank area, our own people, and it will be perfect!

Xiao Rui's heart was full of excitement, and Song Ci also entered the palace to meet him.

Seeing the room full of princes, Song Ci was a little surprised, but stepped forward calmly and respectfully, and said: "My minister, Hangzhou Inspector Song Ci, kowtows to Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

Emperor Xia laughed and said: "Ai Qing is flat, and I will give you a seat!"

The accompanying eunuch in the hall brought tables and chairs and put them at the back.

Song Ci immediately felt the favor of the Holy Grace, and after cupping his hands, he carefully sat down on the chair.

Emperor Xia smiled and said: "Song Aiqing, I urgently called you back to the capital because I have a heavy responsibility for you. I have seen your political achievements in Hangzhou. Among the eleven prefectures in Hangzhou, the number of unjust, false and wrong cases is the least in the Great Xia Kingdom. It all depends on Song Aiqing's suggestion of prison. Song Aiqing is capable and courageous, so she must make good use of her talents. If it is only limited to one state, it will be overkill, so I give you the position of the left servant of the Ministry of punishment. Song Aiqing, can you Do you have the confidence to assist Kang Shangshu and the right servant, Lord Wang, to manage the Ministry of Punishment for me, to take charge of the punishment of the world, and to praise the righteousness of all people?"

Song Ci's breath became short of breath instantly, the current Holy Majesty values ​​him so much, what should he do?

Bow down and die!

"My minister is willing to repay His Majesty's grace with all my heart." Song Ci bowed deeply, the corners of his eyes slightly moist.

Emperor Xia smiled and said, "Aiqing is free of courtesy. King Xian, help me to help Master Song."

Xiao Rui came late, so he sat behind Song Ci, he quickly got up to help Song Ci, and said in a low voice: "The position of left servant is for those who are capable, and my lord is the best candidate."

Song Ci felt King Xian's respect, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your consideration."

What I didn't expect was that after Song Ci got up, he cupped his hands again and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"Oh? What's the matter?" Emperor Xia was taken aback and asked in surprise.

Song Ci said in a deep voice: "Five years ago, 23 members of the Zheng family in Huzhou Prefecture were exterminated in a massacre! I ordered a prison in Hangzhou, and found that this massacre was full of doubts. Investigate the case!"

There are eleven prefectures in Hangzhou, Hangzhou, Huzhou, Shaoxing, Ningbo, Jiaxing, Lishui, Taizhou, Wenzhou, Jinhua, Quzhou, and Zhoushan. Song Ci is the inspector of Hangzhou. Also in charge of criminal cases in Huzhou Prefecture.However, the massacre was a sensation for a while. His Majesty was furious at that time, and personally dispatched three divisions to supervise it, and finally passed the trial of the Ministry of Punishment, sent it to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for review, and then sent it to Dali Temple for Pingyun. To overturn the case, but slapped Sansi in the face.
