The system forced me to be emperor

Xiao Rui, who was unpopular in the past, became a fragrant bun, and the house was filled with gifts, which turned out to be a surprise.

At this time, Xu Xianyang's face was gloomy and ugly.

When he learned that Xiao Rui had been assassinated, he felt very relieved, it would be good to be killed.But later it was learned that he was only slightly injured, and when Emperor Xia came in person at night, Xu Xianyang suddenly slumped on a chair.

He realized that he had fallen into a terrible vortex, and he might hang himself.

Because who would assassinate the low-key Xiao Rui?

Xiao Rui, who sued himself yesterday, was reprimanded, and Xiao Rui was assassinated that night.Coincidentally?Coincidentally, but what would Emperor Xia think!

Xu Xianyang was a little confused, but he couldn't complain about his injustice!

not to mention…

He thought about what he had done, and there were other things about him, although he did it in a very subtle way, but could it be guaranteed that nothing would go wrong?

In the Wang family extermination case, only the son died.But if other things about him are revealed, it will be the entire Xu family that will be destroyed, not a single life.

"Prepare the car, prepare the car quickly." Xu Xianyang roared.

Xiao Rui was recuperating in the mansion, Gao Quan was by his side to wait on him, while Jia Xu went out early in the morning and didn't come back until evening.

There are too few people available, and Jia Xu has to do it himself, Xiao Rui feels the embarrassment that no one is available.Decided to train confidantes well in the future.

"Sir, have you gained something?" Xiao Rui asked hastily.

Early this morning, Jia Xu said that Xu Xianyang is already a frightened mouse, and a frightened mouse likes to flee back to its old nest to check if it has lost its rations, so Jia Xu speculated that Xu Xianyang would leave Xu's mansion and check his sins like a mouse , to find a way to restrain and cover up.

If it wasn't for the injury, Xiao Rui would have wanted to follow him, it was so exciting.

Jia Xu nodded, and said: "Xu Xianyang was very cautious, and let his servants go out in his carriage, while he got into a simple carriage through the back door. I followed him and walked around the capital for a long time. Seeing that he entered a government-run workshop, it was the workshop of the general prisoner, I asked, and it was for the production of soldier armor."

Xiao Rui was surprised and said: "There is no reason why he, the dignified Minister of the Ministry of Industry, sneaked into the official workshop. It seems that his tricks have finally been revealed."

"Sir, what should we do next?" Xiao Rui asked.

Jia Xu shook her head suddenly: "For the time being, we don't need to do it."

"Eh?" Xiao Rui blinked, but didn't react.

Jia Xu said, "I also found people of the same kind outside the official workshop. Judging from their appearance, they should be from Jin Yiwei and Dongchang. It seems that His Majesty has long wanted to touch Xu Xianyang, but the time has not yet come. But yesterday The late assassination sounded Xu Xianyang's death knell."

"Father..." Xiao Rui was startled.

Jia Xu praised: "Last night, I was lucky enough to see Emperor Xia at close range. It really deserves its reputation. It is not an ordinary person that Emperor Xia can go from having nothing to winning the summer. Xu Xianyang is a cancer. According to Emperor Xia's character , should have been cleaned up long ago, but why did it take so long? I was wondering if the reason why Emperor Xia kept Xu Xianming was also a test?"

Xiao Rui's hairs trembled, he couldn't believe it: "It's impossible."

"Maybe I'm thinking too much." Jia Xu smiled.

Xiao Rui kept this matter in mind and decided to ask Xiao Yan about it tomorrow.

"Then let's wait for the emperor to take down Xu Xianyang?" Xiao Rui asked.

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Let's wait and see what happens, I can't fathom Emperor Xia's thoughts."

Xiao Rui nodded.

The next day, Xiao Rui asked Gao Quan to invite Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan skipped class and came here.

"Brother Seven, what do you want from me?" Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Xiao Yan asked hastily.

Xiao Rui asked: "Do you still remember why you went to the hunting ground with Tian Boguang and Zhang Lianchuan to hunt?"

Xiao Yan was stunned, scratched his head, and said, "Lian Chuan's idea was mentioned by his father, Zhongyonghou. He said that when his father summoned the princes who founded the mansion and Zhongyonghou, he had no intention of mentioning that there were big bugs in the hunting ground. It happened that the tiger skin in his imperial study was old. Before we hunted, the second brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, and starling all went there. Unexpectedly, we shot the big bug and found the bodies of the Wang family. Don't you know? It seems that the fourth brother didn't tell you."

Xiao Rui fell into dead silence for an instant, feeling a chill coming over him.

Chapter 36: The gift of filial piety

In the next few days, Xiao Rui recuperated in the mansion, and the capital returned to calm and lively.

Xu Xianyang was sick at home, but Emperor Xia did not do anything to Xu Xianyang as Xiao Rui thought. It seems that just like what Jia Xu said, ordinary people can't guess what Emperor Xia is thinking.

And the day after tomorrow, it will be Emperor Xia's birthday.

Giving birthday gifts is a science, especially when the prince congratulates the emperor on his birthday.If you give a light gift, you will be ridiculed by others. I really think it is a good word to say that light gift is light and affection is more important. It is a compliment for fear of embarrassing you. If you give a heavy gift, others will be jealous.

But now Xiao Rui is more embarrassing.

In the past, Xiao Rui was the most unpopular among the princes, so it was optional. On his birthday last year, Xiao Rui only gave him a good brush washer, but recently he has been in the limelight for a while, so he can't be too much like before. Feel free to.

So Xiao Rui asked Jia Xu for advice.

Knowing Xiao Rui's difficulty, Jia Xu smiled immediately: "Your Highness, this birthday may be the last filial piety competition before the princes compete for the crown prince, and it is also an opportunity to show off. It is an opportunity for positioning, so His Highness has to seize it. However, in my opinion, this gift does not need to be expensive, but a gift of filial piety."

"Send filial piety? Could it be possible to stew the golden dragon koi fish soup again?" Xiao Rui laughed.

Jia Xu also laughed: "Your Highness really wants to do this, I think Emperor Xia will drive His Highness out of the hall!"

Xiao Rui laughed out loud, not to mention that his father could do such a thing.

"What is the filial piety that the gentleman refers to?" Xiao Rui asked.

Jia Xu said leisurely: "Your Highness thinks, who should be most grateful for a person's birthday banquet?"

When Xiao Rui heard it, his expression moved: "It's mother!"

Jia Xu nodded and said: "That's right, it's our mother. Mother doesn't celebrate her birthday, and father doesn't grow a beard. Today Emperor Xia is a filial person, but her mother has never enjoyed the glory of her son. Being posthumously named Xiaoshengxian Empress, but there must be regrets in Emperor Xia's heart."

Emperor Xia's real name was Xiao Ying, and his birth was very humble. He was born to a maid of honor in Emperor Xiaowen's harem. At that time, the empress in the harem had exclusive power, especially the palace maids who were pregnant with dragon fetuses were the most severe, and they would basically be killed with a stick.Therefore, when Empress Xiaoshengxian found out that she was pregnant, she knew that the palace could not stay for long, so she tried every means to hide the fact of pregnancy. Only a close court lady and the eunuch who was next to Emperor Xiaowen knew about it.

Later, with the help of the court lady, Empress Xiaoshengxian escaped from the harem by feigning death, and gave birth to Emperor Xia smoothly.Orphans and widows, imagine how poor they are.When Emperor Xia was 15 years old, he and his mother came to the capital to make a living in poverty.One day, he happened to meet the eunuch who was close to Emperor Xiaowen, and he told Emperor Xiaowen that Emperor Xiaowen knew that he had a cheap son.

Xiao Ying entered the palace to meet Emperor Xiaowen, and the suspicious Emperor Xiaowen saw Xiao Ying's face and believed it.The two were carved out of the same mold, and because of this, Emperor Xiaowen directly bestowed Emperor Xia as King Ying and allowed him to open the mansion.

Empress Xiaoshengxian worked too long and contracted a serious disease, and was unable to enter the palace. She died when Emperor Xia was 25 years old.

It was also at the age of 25 that Emperor Xia Xiao Ying rose vigorously and began to compete with eighteen princes for the position of supremacy!

Therefore, Jia Xu admired Emperor Xia very much. He was able to sit on the throne, which can be said to be a river of flesh and blood.

Jia Xu went on to say: "So I think, if someone can find someone to paint the portrait of the filial sage and virtuous queen, so as to relieve Emperor Xia's pain of missing his mother, this kind of filial piety is the most precious."
