The system forced me to be emperor

"Empress, there is one more thing..." the female officer saw the timing and said again.

Zhou Xiangyun asked, "What's the matter?"

The female officer said: "His Royal Highness King Jing has arrested an imperial physician and Mrs. Wen, who are the two who are in charge of taking care of His Royal Highness Chu's side concubine. According to His Highness King Jing... say..."

"What did you say? Why did he arrest the imperial physician and Mrs. Wen?" Zhou Xiangyun asked.

The female officer tremblingly said: "His Royal Highness King Jing said that according to the confession of the imperial physician and Mrs. Wen, the concubine of King Chu did not give birth prematurely, but deliberately concealed from His Royal Highness Chu and everyone that the son she gave birth to is a full-term child! Your Majesty was furious, I have ordered Lord Zhou of the Clan Mansion to go to the Chu Palace to investigate!"

As soon as these words came out, it hit Zhou Xiangyun directly on the head like a heavy hammer.

She suddenly felt dizzy, her father had an accident, and even her grandson might be a fake...

Suddenly, Xiao Rui's sarcasm popped up in her mind, she couldn't hold on any longer, and passed out directly on the ground.

"Empress Empress, Empress Empress!"

There was a panic in Changchun Palace.

At this moment, Xiao Rui came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and met Emperor Xia.

Unexpectedly, when Emperor Xia met him, he shouted: "King Xian, you have colluded with the six ministers to plan the affairs of the morning court today and eradicate dissidents, you can be convicted!"

As soon as these words came out, Hai Dafu's heart skipped a beat, and Yan Xiaoxiao panicked even more, almost begging for mercy, but luckily she heard Xiao Rui's answer.

I saw Xiao Rui cupped his hands obediently, and said: "My son is guilty!"

After Xia Huang glared at him, he pointed to the seat beside him and said, "Sit down."

Xiao Rui pursed his lips and smiled.

At this moment, Xiao Rui believed what Jia Xu and Guo Jia said to him.

It turned out that among the nine princes, he was the one whom His Majesty loved and valued the most.

Chapter 392: No one dares to offend King Xian's fierce reputation!

At first Xiao Rui couldn't see through Emperor Xia's love for him, because this love was restrained and deeply hidden, but Jia Xu and Guo Jia could see through it.

It is common sense to say that emperors are ruthless, because the heights are too cold, and the power they possess is too crazy and extravagant, so as monarchs, they dare not trust anyone, including their own sons!

Throughout history, are there still few people who killed brothers and fathers for the sake of the emperor?

But after all, there are tigers that do not eat their children.

For example, today's Emperor Xia.

He was born to the late emperor's court lady. His mother secretly escaped from the palace to save him, so he lived with his mother since he was a child. Although he lived in poverty, he enjoyed the love of his mother and the mutual help of neighbors. He did not live in the cold palace. , nor was it nurtured by ruthlessness and cruelty.Even if he became emperor later and learned to be cruel, he did not forget kindness, he just learned to pretend.

He also killed many brothers when he fought for the throne, but he had no feelings for them at all. He said that he was a brother, but he was no different from a stranger.

That's why Jia Xu and Guo Jia let Xiao Rui boldly expose his strength without being afraid of being suspected by Emperor Xia.In addition, although pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is very enjoyable, it is a small way after all. Xiao Rui has grown up, and he no longer needs to show weakness. At this time, he has the ability to stand on the stage of Daxia and let out his own roar!

And this time, King Chu is the stepping stone!

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Xiao Rui'an sat down, Xia Huang motioned to Yan Xiaoxiao, Yan Xiaoxiao immediately went to deliver tea to Xiao Rui cheerfully, although his face was expressionless, his eyes always peeked at Xiao Rui, and he touched Xiao Rui. Xiao Rui's gaze, like a flustered little rabbit, hastily staggered away.

She always wanted to thank Xiao Rui personally, if it wasn't for his design to help her, she would not be able to leave the Palace of Female Officials, but at this moment, the occasion is not suitable.

Xiao Rui took a sip of tea, and then heard Emperor Xia say: "After today, your identity will be completely announced to the world. The bloodline of the royal family of the Three Kingdoms is not a good thing, and if someone has a heart to talk about it, it will cause you some trouble. "

Xiao Rui didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "I only know that everything about my son comes from my mother and father. My mother is Concubine Daxia Rong, and my father is my father! Just because my mother and concubine came from Qi State, it represents My servant Xia Guo's blood is impure, and he will do something harmful to Great Xia in the future? Nonsense! Whoever dares to talk nonsense, my servant should have a good chat with him!"

Xia Huang suddenly laughed, and said: "It's fine to talk, the best way to hold power is to form a deterrent force! Whoever refuses to accept you, you can chat with him to convince him. I just said that your blood is not A good thing, but not a bad thing for nothing."

Speaking of this, Emperor Xia had a taste of it.

However, Xiao Rui understood what His Majesty said, and heard his expectations for him.

If Qi and Zhao can be eliminated and become co-lords, Xiao Rui's blood can quickly appease the rebellious sentiments of the subjugated people.Throughout history, when any country is destroyed, loyal people will revolt and want to restore the country. Sometimes it will last for a generation, making the country uneasy. What a big deal.

This is also Emperor Xia's expectation for Xiao Rui, work hard, become a prince first, then become an emperor, and become emperor in the future!

Xiao Rui got up and said respectfully: "I understand!"

Emperor Xia nodded, and suddenly took out a secret folder, and handed it to Hai Dafu.

Hai Dafu presented the secret book to Xiao Rui.

Only Xia Huang said: "This is a secret letter from the spies I have placed in Yan and Zhao. The situation is true and very secret, just take a look!"

Xiao Rui didn't dare to be careless, and immediately opened the secret folder, and when he saw it, he frowned.

I saw that the things written in the secret book were very simple, Zhao Huang already had the heart to abolish Prince Yan, and he feared that he would do it in the future!

Xia Huangdao: "The older Zhao Huang is, the more suspicious he becomes, and the prince of Zhao Guo is considered a leader in terms of character and scheming. In addition, many civil servants and military generals support him, Zhao Huang becomes even more jealous. Power is the easiest to lose people's minds. , Emperor Zhao is not willing to abdicate, so he can only abolish the crown prince! It's just...hehe...The prince of Zhao is not a fuel-efficient lamp, how can there be no movement?"

Xiao Rui asked: "Father means that the Crown Prince Zhao is going to seize the throne?"

Emperor Xia shook his head and said: "It is not wise to seize the throne, and it is easy to be criticized by others. The prince of Zhao Guo cherishes his reputation very much and would not do such a thing. You continue to guess, just to study your strategy, what can you do?" Everything depends on the two counselors beside you!"

Xiao Rui smiled awkwardly, he was indeed more dependent on Jia Xu and Guo Jia.However, Xiao Rui is also a smart person, and immediately thought of the most beneficial method for Prince Zhao.

"Father, Prince Zhao is going to start a war?" Xiao Rui's eyes lit up, and he said with certainty.

Xia Huang nodded and said with a smile: "You are not stupid! That's right, compared with seizing the throne, once Zhao Guo goes to war with Yan Guo or Da Xia, Zhao Huang will not be able to abolish the crown prince. First, it will disturb the morale of the army and the people. He still has to rely on Prince Zhao to fight for him! Once the war really starts, how can it end in half a year?"

Speaking of this, Emperor Xia took a sip of tea and said, "The purpose of telling you this is to let you know that the comfortable life will not last long."

"My son understands!" Xiao Rui replied, originally according to Guo Jia's calculation, the national war would be provoked within three years, but the plan could not keep up with the changes, not to mention there were conspirators, such as Yan Xifeng, such as Prince Zhao.

"How is the configuration of gunpowder going?" Xiahuang asked.

Xiao Rui said: "Five thousand catties have been allocated."

Emperor Xia couldn't help laughing: "If gunpowder hadn't been regarded as a secret weapon, I would have ordered to reward the person who invented gunpowder!"

"Where is the minister? My son knows people with eyes, shouldn't he also be rewarded?" Xiao Rui asked.

Emperor Xia glared at him and said, "It seems that my gold medal is still in your hands!"

Xiao Rui chuckled, he had no intention of returning the gold medal.

"By the way, father, my son still has a treasure, I want to ask father to look at it!" Xiao Rui said, and presented the blueprint of Zhuge Liannu to Emperor Xia.

After seeing it, Emperor Xia excitedly patted the table to congratulate: "Zhuge Liannu! Ten arrows can be fired from one crossbow! Wonderful, wonderful! Where did you get it? The design of this continuous crossbow is really ingenious!"

Xiao Rui made up a lie and said: "I accidentally obtained it during my inspection of the state capital. I thought, if our Daxia soldiers can deploy such a continuous crossbow, the arrows they shoot are stronger, faster, and faster than the enemy's." Don’t they have a strong advantage on the battlefield?”
