The system forced me to be emperor

"Sneaky eyebrows, of course they do!" Xiao Rui said solemnly.

Wu Yazi opened his mouth, and the chat ended like this.

"What does Your Highness need us to do?" Wu Yazi asked.

Xiao Rui said: "Give me some meeting gifts for this king."

"Okay!" Wu Yazi readily agreed, and then got up and said, "Your Highness, that poor Taoist will take his leave first, and the meeting gift will be delivered in a few days, and His Highness will definitely see our sincerity."

"Go slowly, don't send it off." Xiao Rui nodded.

Chapter 274: It turns out that you can still hurt people like this

After sending Wu Yazi away, Xiao Rui recalled the conversation between the two, and judged whether he had missed any details, or he had said something wrong and revealed some information.

It is a good habit to examine myself three times a day.

Xiao Rui was relieved only after making sure that he hadn't revealed anything.

Calculating the time, there are only seven or eight days left until the end of the examination papers. When the top three are selected in the palace examination and the gold list is announced, it is time to start dealing with Zhou Mingwen, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. To overthrow him is also the day when Xiao Rui will leave Beijing Well, after doing the math, I only have about ten days left for myself.

It was a bit outrageous for him to leave abruptly, Xiao Rui simply took out a piece of paper, calculated what he still needed to do, and made a plan for himself to complete before leaving Beijing, so he was not confused about leaving.

It doesn't matter if you list this list, there are so many things that need to be done before leaving Beijing. I thought I was free and could ride the waves at will, and was almost overturned by the waves.

Holding the list of papers, Xiao Rui started to work.

First of all, he went to Huben Pavilion to check the progress of bamboo paper and clay calligraphy printing, whether he could make a sample before leaving Beijing, so that he could give his father an explanation, and make him happy before leaving, in case What about rewarding a Shangfang sword?Although there is no precedent for Shangfang sword in the Great Xia Kingdom, there are dragon head, tiger head, and dog head guillotines. It’s okay to reward a tiger head guillotine. At worst, it will be escorted in a carriage at that time. It is absolutely domineering.

Shen Wansan knew that His Highness valued it, so he immediately arranged for craftsmen to work overtime, and completed the trial production of samples as soon as possible while there was still time.

Ge Hong continues to produce gunpowder. This treasure is not too much, the more the better, and if there is too much, then let’s blow up the mountain for fun. Xiao Rui called a few girls to enjoy it together. Watching the scenery of the rocks crumbling and the peaks exploding, girls They were so frightened that they hid in their arms and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, I'm so scared!"

As for the follow-up research and development products of gunpowder, Xiao Rui felt that he was not skilled in technology, so he didn't need to put it on the agenda for the time being.

When he went back, he warned Wu Zhanfa that he must protect the Huben Pavilion and never lose anything.

In the next few days, Xiao Rui personally visited Old Master Meng, Champion Hou's Mansion, Ruyang Prince's Mansion, Zhongyonghou, Li's Mansion of the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, Cui Changwen, Song Ci, etc., as meeting before parting.

However, before Xiao Rui finished what he was going to do, he was interrupted by Mu Chen.

"Your Highness, all the spies stationed in the capital are under control, and their contacts, word-of-mouth, and behaviors are all investigated. Please make a decision, Your Highness!" Mu Chen presented the investigation results to Xiao Rui.

The reason why Mu Chen was so slow in arresting people, and took so long to capture the enemy's spies, was to be silent, and also to investigate the details of these spies. If he simply wanted to arrest people, he could simply hunt them down. Everyone can be caught in two days, but that would expose the wind, and it is not in line with Xiao Rui's plan.

Xiao Rui wanted to convict them according to the law, how to convict them if they didn't investigate clearly?

"Go, go to the prison!" Xiao Rui got up, and immediately brought Li Yuanfang, under Mu Chen's guard, to Jin Yiwei's prison.

One hundred and seventy-eight people were arrested at once, and the Jinyiwei prison was full. Xiao Rui walked around the prison, and all kinds of people came into view.

There are officials of seven or eight grades, middle-aged traders, teachers, old people, and even women.

These spies of the Zhao Kingdom were hiding in the capital. Since the death of Xiao Rui's mother and concubine Ye Qianlan, no one had contacted them again for nine years, so the youngest among them was almost [-] years old.

The moment these people were secretly arrested by the Jin Yiwei, they knew that their crimes of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country had been exposed. The old people were red-eyed. Although they didn't want to die, they were so old that they could face death calmly.

Seeing Xiao Rui, the officials of the seventh and eighth rank quickly knelt down and begged. They couldn't resist the temptation back then, so they embarked on this road. Over the years, they have lived a healthy life and gained a firm foothold in the capital. , life is nourishing, and now they are suddenly imprisoned, they are naturally not reconciled.

There are also some people squatting there and crying loudly. They are ordinary people, they don't have a nourishing life, and they don't have an open-minded life. They don't want to die, and they don't want to leave their homes.

All kinds of faces came into Xiao Rui's eyes, pleading, open-minded, calm, unwilling, sad, desperate, etc... It was like testing the weakness and ugliness of human nature, which made Xiao Rui see it clearly.

Mu Chen followed Xiao Rui, and he didn't respond to the expressions of these people. Mu Chen's heart was already as cold as a rock, so he asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, look... .How to deal with it?"

Xiao Rui left the prison, and the moment he walked out, the dancing faces in his mind suddenly disappeared.

"Lord Mu, this king asks you, how should you deal with colluding with the enemy and betraying the country according to the laws of Great Xia?" Xiao Rui asked.

Mu Chen was stunned, and replied: "According to the "Great Xia Law", those who committed serious crimes of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country will be placed in Lingchi, and paraded in the streets. Those with ordinary crimes will be beheaded in public. Those with minor crimes will be paraded in the streets and demoted to slavery. Distribute the frontier."

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Since their crimes have been investigated, they should be dealt with according to the law."

"Yes!" Mu Chen hurriedly cupped his fists.

Xiao Rui nodded, and said: "You sort it out, according to the law, sort out the results of these people's disposal, so that I can go to the palace and report to my father."

Mu Chen said: "His Royal Highness, please wait a moment, I will do it right away!"

Xiao Rui waved his hand and told him to leave.

Xiao Rui let out a foul breath, although he still felt a little bit unbearable, how many families would be harmed at once, but if he made a mistake, he would be punished by the law, and he must not be tolerated!

Not long after, Mu Chen brought the official documents to sort out.

Xiao Rui opened it and looked. There were 22 people who had provided a lot of information because of Zhao Guo. Although the information was not important, it still constituted an ordinary crime and needed to be beheaded for public display.The rest committed minor crimes and were given lighter punishments. They were demoted to slavery and distributed to the frontiers.

After browsing, Xiao Rui directly entered the palace.

After entering the palace and coming to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, I realized that His Majesty was not in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but went to the harem, to the empress.

Xiao Rui cannot enter the harem without authorization, so he can only wait in the side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Having time to chat with Yan Xiaoxiao again, Xiao Rui felt much better and asked, "How are you doing? Are those female officials bullying you again?"

Yan Xiaoxiao blushed and said shyly, "No, they dare not!"

Indeed, they dare not.

Don't look at Yan Xiaoxiao's girlish appearance in front of Xiao Rui, she didn't dare to look directly at Xiao Rui, she only dared to take a peek, she was so shy that she even blushed, but she had become very tough in the face of the difficult female officer.

Since she took the first step and slapped the four female officials, she seemed to have opened up the two channels of Ren and Du. No one could bully her, and she would take action and take revenge if she dared to target her.

Yan Xiaoxiao was already extremely smart, and she was on duty in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. She was no longer an ignorant girl. He could easily deal with those female officials, not to mention that she could use His Majesty's influence as a help, which scared the female officials even more. Don't dare to do it.

Xiao Rui didn't know this, sighed, and asked: "Do you need me to teach you a few tricks, so that you can be sure to obey their discipline?"

Yan Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Rui with big bright eyes. She had dealt with those enemies, but she still nodded happily. She liked to see how Xiao Rui cared about her and listened to his stories.

Immediately, Xiao Rui passed on his experience to Yan Xiaoxiao, it was mostly conspiracies and tricks, there was no way, Xiao Rui had been following Jia Xu for so long, he didn't learn good things, and he was full of poisonous tricks.

Yan Xiaoxiao's eyes became brighter and brighter. It turned out that she could still do harm like this.

so fun!

After Xiao Rui finished speaking, he didn't forget to remind: "Actually, I don't worry about the female officer. You have to be careful of the queen and the imperial concubine. They are not easy to use. With your small body, how can you beat them, so you must be Remember, if you can hide away, hide away!"

Yan Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly.
