The system forced me to be emperor

What does the emperor mean by this?

Could it be that the crown prince must be chosen before the war begins?

This time, Xiao Rui didn't dare to ask more questions.

Emperor Xia didn't bother with this issue, and then said: "Take a good rest these few days, and continue to share my worries. It's fine to monitor the censor in front of the palace. What's the use of monitoring for so long before? Watching the excitement all day long .Since you are working in the Procuratorate, you should cooperate with Du Shaonian and serve as his assistant officer. I will talk to him in a few days."

Xiao Rui raised his brows and assisted Du Shaonian. He is the censor of Zuodu. His responsibilities are very powerful. He is dedicated to picketing, impeaching officials, arguing wrongdoing, being the chief admiral and supervising various departments. He is the head of the emperor's eyes, eyes and discipline department.

All ministers who are treacherous, villains form cliques, and act mighty and chaotic, impeach him!

All officials who are despicable, greedy and corrupt officials will be impeached!

Anyone who is academically inaccurate, who submits a statement that violates the established rules, and tries to use it, should be impeached!

It can also supervise the judicial organs, such as the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple!

This is definitely a position that offends the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. Every Zuodu censor can't do it for long. Du Shaonian is alert and good at both sides. Even so, he has made countless enemies in the past five years.

Now, His Majesty asked himself to cooperate with him, it was like a mouse fell into the oil tank, Xiao Rui was not afraid of offending people, because he got rid of those who offended.

"I understand." Xiao Rui immediately accepted the order.

Xiao Rui was ready to leave the Hall of Mental Cultivation with a happy smile, only then did Xiao Rui realize why he hadn't seen Yan Xiaoxiao yet, what happened to Xiaoxiao?

At this time, Xiao Rui was vigilant, and when he left the Hall of Mental Cultivation and was about to investigate, he happened to run into Mu Chen, the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei who was patrolling.

"His Royal Highness King Xian!" Mu Chen hurriedly stopped and bowed his hands.

When Xiao Rui saw him, his eyes lit up, and he would know if he asked him!

Chapter 371: Xiaoxiao doesn't cry, I'll help you clean her up!

When Xiao Rui walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he happened to meet Mu Chen.

"Commander Mu, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I still look good!" Xiao Rui smiled all over his face.

Mu Chen respectfully said: "With His Highness's good words, the last general will be able to stay in style forever, but how can he be compared with His Highness's more handsome demeanor? Under His Highness's dazzling demeanor, the final general will feel ashamed!"

Xiao Rui nodded in satisfaction, and said, "I like to chat with Commander Mu. Commander Mu is an upright person, and what he tells is the truth!"

"Your Highness praised you. When it comes to integrity, even if you flatter me, you can't match His Highness's integrity. I'm ashamed!" Mu Chen waved his hand quickly.

Xiao Rui rolled his eyes and continued: "In the whole palace, if everyone is like Commander Mu, my father will be able to rest easy. Especially Hai Dafu, who has slandered the king many times, and even excluded dissidents! It's too disgusting Already!"

"Eh..." Mu Chen opened his mouth, he didn't know how to answer this time, he couldn't just follow Xiao Rui's words and blame Eunuch Hai.

"What? Commander Mu dare not speak anymore?" Xiao Rui asked intentionally.

Mu Chen hesitated for a moment, then said: "Your Highness, I don't know where His Highness learned that Eunuch Hai excludes dissidents, is there some misunderstanding?"

Xiao Rui pointed to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and said: "When I returned to the capital this time, I found that Eunuch Zhang, who was holding the pen, was getting more and more emaciated. It must have been pushed away by Hai Dafu. Before, there was a female official named Yan Xiaoxiao, who was your Majesty's pen-holder. , now that there are no more people, it must be Hai Dafu's work!"

After Mu Chen heard this, he quickly laughed and said, "Your Highness, this matter may be a misunderstanding. Eunuch Zhang suffered from stomach problems, so he couldn't eat, so he lost weight. As for Lady Yan, hey, I accidentally offended the empress, if it wasn't for His Royal Highness the King of Chu said a few good words to the Empress, and it is estimated that they will be handed over to the Inner Court Secretary for serious punishment, and now he is only locked up in the Palace of Female Officials for reflection, which is a blessing among misfortunes!"

"Oh? There is such a thing? How did she anger the Empress?" Xiao Rui raised his brows, no wonder he didn't see Xiao Xiao, and he offended the Empress.

Mu Chen looked around to make sure there was no one there, and then said in a low voice: "When Your Majesty was leaving the palace, Lady Yan bumped into the Empress's guard of honor, and when the Empress sent someone to admonish her, she didn't want to repent and used words to offend her. This act of disrespecting the etiquette in the palace greatly angered the empress, so he was locked up."

Xiao Rui nodded, his eyes narrowed unconsciously.

Empress Zhou Xiangyun, taking advantage of His Majesty's absence, finally couldn't bear the jealousy in her heart, and started to attack Yan Xiaoxiao, why is there no reason to blame her?She is the master of the harem, and if she wanted to make a female official, it would be easy. If Xiao Yiheng, king of Chu, hadn't been coveting Yan Xiaoxiao and defending her, Yan Xiaoxiao would be in danger. A soft little girl is in the harem of eating people. No one knows about being sunk in a dry well.

And now that she is locked up, how will the female officials and maids in the harem treat her?The woman became jealous and made men feel scared. What will happen to Yan Xiaoxiao now?

Xiao Rui let Mu Chen leave, his fist hidden in his sleeve clenched unnaturally.He treated Yan Xiaoxiao as his own younger sister, and was worried about her safety when he left Beijing, but unexpectedly something happened.

Zhou Xiangyun, Zhou Xiangyun, you are the mother of a country, and you don't even have the courage to attack a female official yourself!That being the case, let's have fun with you!

Thinking of this, Xiao Rui immediately turned his head and returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

When Emperor Xia heard that Xiao Rui had gone and returned, he called him into the palace and asked, "Why are you back?"

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Father, I haven't gone to pay my respects to the Empress before returning to Beijing. It is not in line with etiquette, so my son came to report to Father, and wanted to go to pay my respects to the Empress!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xia narrowed his eyes slightly, took a careful look at Xiao Rui, then nodded, and said with a smile: "You are filial, you really should go and see. This is a trivial matter, you don't need to tell me!"

Xiao Rui nodded, and said: "I seldom enter the harem, I am afraid that I will go in the wrong direction and bump into the empresses. I implore my father to send someone to lead the way."

"Okay!" Emperor Xia nodded and gestured to Hai Dafu.

Soon, Hai Dafu found an accompanying eunuch and escorted Xiao Rui to the harem.

The reason why Xiao Rui sued His Majesty was to avoid suspicion, and also because of his own plan.

After entering the harem, Xiao Rui asked: "Now that the beginning of winter is approaching and the maple leaves are thickening, my lord, I heard that there are many maple trees hidden in the harem, but is it true?"

Wang Gonggong said respectfully: "Reporting to Your Highness, there are indeed several maple trees planted in the harem, especially the one in the Palace of Female Officials. It must be a century-old tree with a thick trunk and luxuriant branches and leaves like a canopy. In this season, the maple leaves bright red."

"Oh, is that so? Where is the palace of female officials?" Xiao Rui asked curiously.

After Wang Gonggong pointed in one direction, Xiao Rui's steps changed direction directly.

"Your Highness, it's wrong, Changchun Palace is there!" Eunuch Wang hurriedly chased after Xiao Rui, not forgetting to remind him.

Xiao Rui is a martial artist, he quickened his pace and the prince couldn't catch up, and said without turning his head: "Oh, is it? The direction is wrong, this king knows it!"

Prince Wang: ...

Your Highness, you know that you are going in the wrong direction, but your steps are still going in the wrong direction, hey, the speed is even faster!I chase!

Xiao Rui stopped in front of the palace of female officials.

In the courtyard, there was indeed a century-old maple leaf tree, red as blood.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..." Wang Gonggong came after him out of breath.

Xiao Rui stared, and said: "Wang Gonggong, how did you lead the way? You actually led me here! What is this place?"

Eunuch Wang was taken aback, he was so frightened that he even stopped breathing, what could he say?It can't be said that His Highness runs too fast, and the servants can't catch up!

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Rui said comfortingly: "The prince is still considerate. He knew that the king wanted to see the maple leaves, so he brought the king here. Very good, I think there is no one in the palace of female officials at this time, and they should all be in the palaces. Serve. Eunuch Wang, can I admire the maple leaves here?"

Wang Gonggong nodded obediently, and said: "Your Highness should make the decision."

Only then did Xiao Rui enter the palace of female officials.

"My lord, I'm very thirsty, go make me a cup of tea!" Xiao Rui stopped under the tree and said with a smile.
