The system forced me to be emperor

"Don't make any more trouble. I just asked His Majesty to grant me a marriage. If I provoke Ruoxi again and win over Zhongyonghou, what will my father think of me? How will the world think of me? What do you want our other brothers to think of me?" Xiao Xiao Rui explained.

Xiao Yan caught the surprise of Xiao Rui's words, and said pleasantly: "Let me just say, Seventh Brother is so greedy and lustful, how could he let Sister Ruoxi go?"

Xiao Rui glared at him and cursed, "Get lost!"

Xiao Yan pinched his fingers and calculated: "Champion Marquis, Zhongyonghou, Lord Shoufu, Song Shilang, Cui Shilang, Guo Shilang... Hey, Brother Seven, you are really good now! Who can stop you from being invincible? To become a prince is even more powerful!" Just around the corner!"

Xiao Rui said unhappily: "I feel that you are more excited than me? Who said that if you are powerful, you will definitely become the prince? To become the prince is once and for all?"

Xiao Yan said solemnly: "Second brother is a sad reminder, I have given up on my own initiative. Among the remaining few, Jin Wang Xiao Lie, Wu Wang Xiao Ze, Duan Wang Xiao Feng, oh, and Jing Wang Xiao Jing, he forgets. Amongst the eldest brother, the third brother and the fourth brother, I feel that only the third brother can compete with you, but he is definitely not your opponent!"

Xiao Rui smiled, is it really as simple as Xiao Yan said?

Still the same sentence, big fish hide in muddy water, masters like to hide their clumsiness, only fools will show off.And with Xiao Rui's in-depth investigation, the forces hidden in the dark in Kyoto slowly surfaced.

After sending Xiao Yan away, Xiao Rui invited Guo Jia and Jia Xu.

"Calculating the time, Yang Youji should have arrived at Lanling Mansion!" Xiao Rui said.

A few days ago, Xiao Rui missed Xiao Qingqing a little bit, so he sent Yang Youji to Lanling.

Moreover, Xiao Qingqing was sent back to the ancestral land of Lanling by King Ruyang, but she claimed to herself and the outside world that she was paying respects to the Buddha for her mother.

In addition, Xiao Rui had long suspected that King Ruyang had something to do with the assassin who assassinated him at that time, and after probing, he also found that there was something wrong with him, so he asked Yang Youji to go to Lanling to check, and it would be best to see Xiao Qingqing.

When Xiao Rui and Guo Jia were inspecting the state capital, Jia Xu was not idle, and sent Lu Xian to investigate King Ruyang. Unfortunately, the other party was vigilant and did not find any reliable evidence.

Guo Jia and Jia Xu nodded, and Jia Xu said, "The princess of Lanling must know something, otherwise he would not be sent back to his ancestral land by King Ruyang. In addition, King Ruyang hides relatively deeply. After all, if he does not hide deeply , how can it be hidden from His Majesty's eyes and ears?"

Guo Jia said: "What kind of conspiracy does King Ruyang have? This is an urgent matter that needs to be figured out."

"Do you think that King Ruyang would seek to usurp the throne?" Xiao Rui obviously watched too many TV dramas, so his idea was quite surprising.

Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other, but frowned and shook their heads.

"Although King Ruyang is one of the four kings of the four counties, and has the false name of the commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses, but without the tiger charm, he can't dispatch troops at all! And even if he has soldiers, he didn't train them himself, who would follow him? Rebellion! So how did he seek to usurp the throne?" Jia Xu said.

Xiao Rui said again: "Could it be a spy from the enemy country? It's like Han Xing, Pingnan King of Yan Kingdom, who turned out to be a chess piece sent to Yan Kingdom by my grandmother!"

Guo Jia said: "This is possible, but everything has a cause and effect. If he colludes with foreign enemies, he will have something to ask for, but King Ruyang is a smart man. He only has one daughter, and he has already become the king of the county. What else is there to ask for besides the throne? So I can't think of what he is asking for."

Xiao Rui nodded, and said: "Then let Lu Xian keep watching, and pay attention to Yang Youji's reply. Tomorrow, the envoy from Qi State will arrive. I don't know what role my uncle will play. The two gentlemen Then come with me to welcome the guests.”

"Yes!" The two stood up and answered.

In the afternoon, after Xiao Rui had his meal, the order from the palace came.

It turned out that His Majesty's decree to bestow marriage came down, and Xiao Rui was bestowed to marry Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue on March [-] next year.At the same time, the decree of bestowing marriage also reached the mansion of Champion Hou and Li Mingchong.

Now that the marriage is finalized, Xiao Rui can be regarded as the bridegroom-to-be.

What Xiao Rui didn't expect was that he had just received the order to send the eunuch away, but he suddenly received an invitation letter from the Chu Palace.

The content of the invitation letter was very simple. The king of Chu held a dinner party and invited Xiao Rui to the residence to talk about important matters.

The person who sent the invitation letter was the steward of Chu Wangfu. He said that it was written by Chu Wang himself, and His Royal Highness Xian Wang must be invited to come.

Xiao Rui hesitated for a moment, unable to figure out what conspiracy Xiao Yiheng was playing, could it be a Hongmen Banquet?

For Xiao Rui, it didn't matter whether he went or not, but Xiao Rui still wanted to see what tricks he played, so he agreed.

For safety's sake, Xiao Rui brought Li Yuanfang and Dian Wei with him.

When the night lights first came on, Xiao Rui came to Chu Palace in a carriage.

In front of the Chu Palace, compared with the prosperity and atmosphere of the past, it suddenly looked depressed.

The steward directly invited Xiao Rui into the mansion, and when he came to the living room, he saw Xiao Yiheng drinking alone.

I saw him with disheveled clothes and loose long hair, sitting here alone drinking wine, with a handsome expression.A person who was so high-spirited before suddenly suffered a blow and turned into this.

"Second brother!" Xiao Rui cupped his hands and called out.

King Chu put down the jug, raised his head and looked at Xiao Rui, his drunken eyes suddenly filled with anger, and he growled, "King Xian!"

Seeing his appearance, Xiao Rui asked: "Did the King of Chu invite me to vent his inner anger? If that's the case, then my brother thinks highly of you!"

The King of Chu was startled, then laughed loudly, and said, "Do you think you can defeat me by overthrowing my grandfather and taking away the support of the Li family? Dreaming! I am still the son of the emperor, and my mother is the king of the country." mother's empress!"

Xiao Rui nodded, not wanting to argue with him.

When Bai Huhou returned to Beijing and the Zhou family collapsed, even the queen would be implicated to a certain extent. The current Xiao Yiheng didn't realize that he was standing on the cliff at all, and thought he was awesome, and when he was dying of a disease, he yelled , don't stop me, I can still be high.

At this time, Xiao Yiheng said again: "Looking at the rich and powerful in the world, which person or family has no crime? You caught my grandfather's criminal evidence this time, so you were able to bring him down. Although I am angry, I don't hate you! I hate There are others!"

At the end, Xiao Yiheng's eyes were full of anger, and his whole body was full of hostility.

"You hate the eighth brother?" Xiao Rui asked.

"That's right! Xiao Jing's heart is vicious, he made me look bad, ruined my reputation, and became the laughing stock of the people. If I don't take revenge, how can I be stable?" Xiao Yiheng gritted his teeth.

Xiao Rui frowned, and said with a smile: "Second brother said that he has something important to discuss, is it because he wants revenge? Let me help you deal with King Jing together?"

"Seventh brother is worthy of being the seventh brother. He is so smart that he can guess right! Didn't Xiao Jing extravagantly ask for the crown prince? I want him to never get it!" Xiao Yiheng said viciously.

Xiao Rui asked back: "Did the second brother find the wrong person? I killed your grandfather, and you want to cooperate with me instead? And why should I deal with the eighth brother, and why should I avenge you!"

Xiao Yiheng said: "Your goal is the crown prince, and any prince is your enemy! In addition, if you promise me, I can tell you a secret! A secret that will make your heart beat!"

"What secret?" Xiao Rui asked.

Xiao Yiheng smiled mysteriously, and said: "It is said that your mother Concubine Rong died of illness, but is the truth true? I know a person who may be related to the death of your mother and concubine!"

Xiao Rui immediately sat up straight, with a cold expression on his face.

"Don't look at me like this, everything I said is true, if it is false, you will die! How about this secret?" Xiao Yiheng was sure about Xiao Rui.

Although Xiao Rui learned about the mystery of his mother's death from Emperor Xia, Ye Qianying, and Bai Suzhen, in order to silence her, Emperor Zhao secretly ordered people to administer slow poison, a little bit of residual poison, and finally died of unrecoverable medicine, but Emperor Zhao could not do it himself , must be under the guise of others.

Zen Master Jingxiu, who was killed, was once the guard of his mother and concubine. Apart from him, there must be other people involved, and there is even a master envoy who colluded with Emperor Zhao hidden in the harem!

Xiao Rui had doubted Queen Zhou Xiangyun, imperial concubine Lin Yuer, the deceased Empress Dowager Xiaoshen, and even other noble concubines, but there was no evidence but suspicion, so what should I do?

I believe that even His Majesty is skeptical, we can't kill all the concubines in the harem.

Now Xiao Yiheng actually knows something inside...

"Okay! I can promise you to deal with King Jing with you. But how can I believe that the secret you said is true? What if you are using me?" Xiao Rui asked back.
