The system forced me to be emperor

It's not easy!

Chapter 370: What happened to Yan Xiaoxiao?

Last night, talking with Jia Xu and Guo Jia until late at night, Xiao Rui fell asleep late, anyway, he didn't have to go to bed early, so he slept until the sun was high before getting up leisurely.

Xiao Rui couldn't be idle today, he had a lot of people to meet, such as Zhuge Yuanba, Liuying, Zhongyonghou Zhang Jinfu, and several princes who came to visit the mansion yesterday, he himself had to return the gift, so that he could show his respect as a brother and brother, don't forget Courtesy.

He first went to Wu Wang Xiao Ze and Duan Wang Xiao Feng, had a brief chat, and then went to Champion Hou's Mansion.

Someone had already sent a greeting card yesterday, so Zhuge Yuanba was at home.Today's Zhuge Yuanba has been promoted to be the commander of the forbidden army, and the twelve guards in the palace have been integrated into six guards. The six generals are all under the command of Zhuge Yuanba. Although he is only a third-rank general, he is a close minister of His Majesty and can always serve His Majesty. , I don’t know how many people are jealous.

After not seeing each other for more than seven months, Xiao Rui had a good chat with him, and had a drink with him at noon, while Zhuge Liuying poured wine at the side. It was not until the end of the day, when Zhuge Yuanba needed to enter the palace for guards, that Xiao Rui left.

Zhuge Liuying sent Xiao Rui out of the house, and said softly: "Be careful when you return to the capital, many people are staring at you."

Xiao Rui stretched out his hand to hold Zhuge Liuying's Rou Yi, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm surrounded by a cloud of masters, no one can hurt me."

Zhuge Liuying blushed, looked around in a panic, and found someone watching, she blushed immediately, and didn't want to withdraw her jade hand, so she could only lower her head and let Xiao Rui play tricks, then said in a low voice: "It's better to be careful." !"

Seeing Zhuge Liuying's appearance as such a little girl, Xiao Rui couldn't help laughing. After all, she hadn't passed the door and was thin-skinned, so Xiao Rui let go of her hand and said, "Then I'm leaving. When I'm done working these few days, take me with you." You go out for a stroll!"

"Okay!" Zhuge Liuying showed a happy expression.

After Xiao Rui left, he ordered Li Yuanfang to drive to Chu Palace.

Xiao Yiheng heard that Xiao Rui came to return the gift, so he hurriedly welcomed him in. Seeing Li Yuanfang and Dianwei carrying gift boxes of various sizes, he smiled even more, and said, "Seventh brother, come as soon as you come, why bring so many things?"

Xiao Rui said seriously: "These things are not for you! Don't be sentimental!"

When Xiao Yiheng heard this, he immediately frowned, feeling displeased.

Xiao Rui continued: "It's for the princess and the unborn child! You can't be greedy!"

Only then was Xiao Yiheng satisfied, turned his anger into joy, and said with a smile: "Seventh brother has a heart, let's go, let's chat in the living room, and go back after dinner at the mansion tonight, just in time for us brothers to have a good drink."

"Okay!" Xiao Rui agreed with a smile.

Not long after, Du Xueqin came out to meet Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui was not familiar with her, so she was told to go back to rest with a simple sentence, and then told her to listen to the music, let the Fuzhong musicians play the flute and laugh, which helps to relax .

Du Xueqin smiled without saying a word.

Xiao Yiheng nodded repeatedly, praising his intentionality, and then let Du Xueqin go down to rest.

"Where is the princess?" Xiao Rui didn't see Li Xiu'er, so he said: "When you come to the second brother's house, you should also say hello to your sister-in-law."

"Don't mention her!" Unexpectedly, Xiao Yiheng raised his brows angrily, and said, "That woman relied on her grandfather as the head of the Li clan, so she really thought I wouldn't dare to divorce her? If she keeps such a jealous woman, she will ruin the king." Fame! She was driven to Jingyuan by me, and she has to reflect on herself!"

"Jealous?" Xiao Rui asked: "Although my sister-in-law and I are not familiar, but she is from the Li family after all, and everyone is a lady, how could she be jealous?"

Xiao Yiheng shook his head and said, "Second brother doesn't understand her, nor does she know how deep she is!"

"Eh... I really don't know about this!" Xiao Rui said with approval.

Xiao Yiheng said: "So you don't know her true face! The side princess is pregnant, and although she is not the eldest son of the king, she is also the eldest son. Naturally, she is valued by the king, but what about the princess? She actually secretly put grass in the tonic given to the side king Wu and musk, fortunately, the side princess discovered it alertly and did not eat it by mistake! Those things are herbal medicines that can easily cause miscarriage. Tell me how vicious she is? If it is not for the face of the Li family, this king will definitely Divorce her! I scolded her, but she still refused to admit it, it is really hopeless!"

Xiao Rui took a sip of tea, but in his eyes, Xiao Yiheng at this moment was just an idiot.

Can't you see such an obvious framing?It seems that the preconceived Xiao Yiheng not only can't understand Li Xiu'er, but also hates her even more.

"Okay, seventh brother, let's not talk about her." Xiao Yiheng changed the subject and asked, "Seventh brother, how long are you going to stay in Beijing this time, and are you going to go out?"

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "It still depends on what the father wants, I won't be able to leave in a short time."

"It's good to stay in the capital for a while longer, but you have to be careful of King Jing. Since Sui Guogong's accident, our eighth younger brother doesn't like anyone. I heard that he is planning to try to hurt you." Xiao Rui warned.

Xiao Rui frowned, and asked, "Find me bad luck? I've been away from Beijing for so long, how did I offend him?"

"If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing wrong with it! All in all, you have to be careful!" Xiao Yiheng pretended to hesitate, as if it was inconvenient to say something, but the actual purpose was a conspiracy on the sidelines.

That being the case, Xiao Rui nodded and said: "Thank you for reminding me, second brother, I will believe it. The eighth brother is really outrageous. Among our brothers, Jin Wang and Wu Wang are the most self-restraining, especially Wu Wang, I go out I have also heard about his ability outside, and the common people say that King Wu is the most like our father!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yiheng felt the nausea of ​​swallowing flies.

It just so happened that the steward came to report that the dinner was ready, so Xiao Yiheng invited Xiao Rui to the banquet.

They tasted wine and chatted. Xiao Rui naturally brought the topic to Wu Wang Xiao Ze. After all, his performance was indeed remarkable, and the result was that Xiao Yiheng kept drinking. He was so drunk that he left Chu Palace.

The next day, Xiao Rui woke up and went to the palace to pay his respects.

The 250 million silver was sent to the palace yesterday, and His Majesty collected it into his inner money.All the way to the east, Xiao Rui only searched for 300 million taels in total, and he was exhausted, all of which were cheap for his father.

But to be soft on his own hands, it seems that the father is embarrassed to take back the gold medal.

When I came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to ask for an interview, the Emperor Xia was reviewing the memorial, when he heard that Xiao Rui was coming, he hurriedly let him in, and said: "You came at the right time, the Marquis of Zhenyuan sent an urgent military report, let's have a look! "

The military newspaper was presented to Xiao Rui by Hai Dafu, Xiao Rui opened it and looked carefully, it turned out to be a good news, and it was a good news from Chen Qingzhi!

Ever since Xiao Rui left Xiangzhou, the armies of the Three Kingdoms had been at odds with each other fiercely. Although they didn't tear each other apart, the flames of war continued.The good news this time is that the 2000 Zhao Guo cavalry attempted to cross the Xia State Ganzhou along the border between Xia and Yan, pretending to be Yan State and attacking Xia State to sow discord.But it was discovered by Chen Qingzhi and Han Xin, and Han Xin led the two thousand white-robed battalion to wipe out the opponent's enemy!

Both Han Xin and Chen Qingzhi belonged to him, and Xiao Rui naturally praised him without hesitation: "Father, this Chen Qingzhi and Han Xin are really brave, and they are very good at predicting things! Two thousand against two thousand, and they wiped out each other completely. God!"

Xia Huang agreed: "This Chen Qingzhi is a general under Zhenyuanhou. Many months ago, this person led troops into the territory of Zhao State, not only destroyed Zhao State’s famous pastures, but also wiped out more than 4000 cavalrymen, causing Zhao State to suffer a big dumb loss!”

"Father, such a good general must be rewarded heavily to boost the morale of the soldiers and to highlight the court's reward!" Xiao Rui was not at all embarrassed to ask for rewards for his own people.

Emperor Xia nodded and said, "That's right, it must be rewarded!"

Speaking of this, Emperor Xia suddenly asked: "You helped Marquis Zhenyuan solve the crisis last time, did you have any contact with this Chen Qingzhi?"

Xiao Rui opened his eyes wide, and said: "There was a relationship once, and he led someone to solve the predicament of my minister being surrounded by the traitor He Ying, but I am not familiar with him. If you know how powerful he is, then you should get in touch with him."

Xiao Rui's lies have already been trained to be three points true and seven points false, even if His Majesty got some clues from Zhenyuan Hou, he would not be able to guess the truth by following the wind and shadows.

Emperor Xia laughed and said, "At that time, your heart must have already flown to Yandu!"

"Why can't my son understand what my father said?" Xiao Rui pretended to be puzzled.

Emperor Xia did not expose him, but turned his head to look at the map of Xia Kingdom on one side, especially Suining County in Xiangzhou, where the three countries border, and now the friction has intensified.

"At the beginning of next year, there will be a national war!" Emperor Xia said in a deep voice.

Xiao Rui was silent, His Majesty was far away from Xiangzhou, he didn't know Yanxifeng's madness, he couldn't see the subtleties of Suining County, but his speculation was close to Guo Jia's, his father was his father!

"Father, if the country will die in a national war, my son is willing to put on armor and go to battle to share the worries of the father!" Xiao Rui bowed his hands and begged.

Emperor Xia smiled, and suddenly said: "The country can't live without a king, and it can't be too late to have a crown prince!"

Xiao Rui was stunned when he heard it.
