The system forced me to be emperor

In the end, Xiao Rui raised a question, and at the same time told His Majesty the reason why he mentioned the death of his mother and concubine.

Emperor Xia didn't speak, the expression on his face was as calm as an abyss.

What Xiao Rui said was not complicated, maybe Emperor Xia had doubts a long time ago, but there was no clue.Now, the other party attacked his son again, and even killed another one. This would add fuel to the fire and arouse Emperor Xia's anger.

"I know."

After a while, Emperor Xia spoke.

Xiao Rui got up to leave, but Emperor Xia didn't keep him.

Not long after Xiao Rui left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, when he passed by the Cangshu Pavilion, he didn't expect Yan Xiaoxiao to be there.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Yan Xiaoxiao called softly through the crack of the door.

Xiao Rui saw her, looked around again, and found that there was no idea of ​​the imperial army, so he walked into the library.

The hall was quiet, Xiao Rui looked at Yan Xiaoxiao who looked concerned, and asked, "Xiao Xiao, what's the matter?"

Yan Xiaoxiao didn't care about his dignity, looked Xiao Rui up and down, and said, "It's good that Your Highness is fine. I heard about the murder of His Highness the King of Chu, and now even the palace is full of discussions. I know His Highness must not be the murderer, and Worried about gossip and rumors slandering His Highness."

Xiao Rui's heart warmed up, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will be fine, just sit up straight, the death of King Chu has nothing to do with me, His Majesty will investigate clearly."

Yan Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly, and then said: "The servant girl can rest assured."

However, Xiao Rui frowned and asked: "Be careful, you said that there are rumors in the palace that I killed the King of Chu, can you find out where it came from? Is it from Concubine Mu! If so, that would be the best , Of course, it would be even better if His Majesty could hear it inadvertently!"

When Yan Xiaoxiao heard that she could help Xiao Rui, she immediately nodded her head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I understand how to do it!"

Yan Xiaoxiao is no longer a weak woman. After living in the palace for so long, she has mastered the tricks of survival.

What Xiao Rui explained was not difficult for her.

Afterwards, Xiao Rui chatted with Yan Xiaoxiao for a while, and then left the palace.

Not long after leaving the palace, His Majesty ordered the Clan Mansion to announce the death of King Chu, and introduced that the murderer had been arrested and brought to justice, and the instigator was under investigation.

Although the common people already knew about it, they were quite saddened to see that the court really announced the truth.

It is really a pity that such an accident happened to the dignified prince.

At the same time, martial law was imposed in Kyoto, and Dongchang and Jinyiwei began to thoroughly investigate all suspects.

Chapter 408: I'm innocent!

The death of the King of Chu affected the situation in Kyoto. The ruffians and rascals on the street stayed at home obediently, for fear of offending the patrol battalion, the Jinyiwei, and even the elders of the East Factory. I don't even know about urine.

In this way, three days passed in a flash.

Emperor Xia put away his sadness and continued the early court. He is a father, and even more an emperor, and everyone in the Xia Kingdom needs him to be responsible. This is also the sorrow of being an emperor.

Xiao Rui's safety and well-being was beyond Xiao Feng's expectation, and the dead men he arranged would definitely bite Xiao Rui tightly, claiming that he was instigating, and coupled with the foreshadowing of the previous winter hunting, even if His Majesty didn't believe it, he would have to To give an explanation to the Queen and the people of the world, at the very least, it is necessary to send the Clan Mansion to investigate.Once the investigation starts, it will be the time when public opinion explodes, and the words of the people in the world are the blade to punish one's heart!

But now, there is no movement in Dongchang and the clan's mansion, and His Majesty's attitude towards King Xian is the same as before. To make matters worse, the public opinion in Kyoto has also been manipulated by the "Daxia Daily". It is a conspiracy of the enemy country!

All of this happened, and my efforts were in vain. What happened, what happened?

Xiao Feng originally thought that His Majesty was deliberately delaying, but now after thinking about it, he suddenly realized that Wei Zhongxian, the steward of the East Factory, might have something to do with Xiao Rui!

In just two years, Wei Zhongxian has transformed from the head of the third division of the East Factory to the manager of the East Factory. If there is no expert guidance and help, can he make it to the top?Now it seems that this person is not Xiao Rui!

"I really underestimated you, you dared to contaminate your father's Dongchang!" Xiao Feng sighed, feeling very sorry.

With Wei Zhongxian covering it up for him, the words of that dead soldier are worthless. He even missed a move, but his success has not yet come close. As long as the relationship between Xiao Rui and Wei Zhongxian is exposed, His Majesty will definitely be furious!

Unfortunately, he didn't realize this problem until the fourth day. During these three days, Xiao Rui was not idle.

Jia Xu manipulated public opinion through the "Da Xia Daily", which has changed the direction of the discussion in Kyoto. Now even if there are good people who suspect that King Xian assassinated King Chu, they will be regarded as idiots by others.

On the other hand, Jia Xu and Guo Jia cooperated fully with Dongchang through the Yang organization to investigate Xiao Feng in detail, and finally got an important harvest!

Xiao Feng likes to practice martial arts, this also provides a reason for him to recruit masters, and these masters are all his confidantes, some of them contact Zhao Guo's spies hiding in the capital for Xiao Feng.So after a close investigation of this group of people, it was found that there were problems with five people, and through the places where these five people often went, they found the place where Zhao Guo's spies gathered.

One is Fidelity Escort.This bodyguard bureau is one of the largest bodyguard bureaus in Kyoto. It has been established for many years. It has escorted bodyguards all the year round among Xia, Yan, Qi, and Zhao. It is not surprising that people of martial arts gather martial arts masters.According to the survey, when the Fuda Bodyguard Agency was prosperous, there were more than 200 bodyguards entering and leaving.

The other is the most famous Wangyan Tower in Kyoto.This brothel is also quite famous in the capital, and the girls in the building are of various colors and tricks, often attracting dignitaries.Because His Majesty issued an order to prohibit officials from prostitutes, so Wangyan Tower has its own plan. Sending the girl to the official's house for two days, isn't this considered prostitution?Ever since, through this method, the girls in Wangyan Tower can get a lot of news.

As for the Chunlou, in addition to the girls, there are also a large number of guards in the building. The name is to prevent the guests from causing trouble, but it is actually one of the means to hide the masters.

A bodyguard agency and a Wangyan building only found out that these two places are the places where Zhao Guo's masters gather. In addition, I believe there are Zhao Guo's spies scattered in the capital. They conceal their identities and pretend to be ordinary people. , is not an easy task!

But knowing these two places is enough.

But at this time, Xiao Rui could not take the lead, so he handed it over to Zhongyonghou Zhang Jinfu.

After Zhang Jinfu got the news, he didn't dare to delay, and went directly to the palace to meet the saint, and said that the patrol battalion found a problem during the investigation.

Emperor Xia immediately ordered to encircle and suppress!

In this way, as the curfew began, Zhang Jinfu summoned his confidants in the patrol battalion, Mu Chen, the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, also led his confidant Jinyiwei, divided into two groups, and began to encircle the Fuda Escort and Wangyanlou!

Xiao Rui didn't sleep, waiting with Jia Xu and Guo Jia for the result of the siege.

Half an hour later, Li Yuanfang and Lu Xian hurried back.

"Your Highness, the patrol battalion entered the Fuda Escort, beheaded all the stubborn resisters, and captured more than [-] people alive, and no one escaped!" Li Yuanfang reported.

"Your Highness, Jin Yiwei besieged Wangyan Tower, killed more than [-] people who resisted in the corner, and captured more than ten people and all the women in the world, and no one escaped!" Lu Xian reported.

Xiao Rui nodded and said with a smile: "You two have worked hard, let's go down and have a rest."

Li Yuanfang and Lu Xian stood guard for most of the night, then they folded their hands and retreated.

Jia Xu brushed his beard and said with a smile: "This time, pulling out Zhao Guoan's two major cancers in the capital is a blessing in misfortune. With these people, His Highness's last suspicion has been washed away. Although Duan Wang has a deep conspiracy , but I didn’t expect that people are not as good as heaven, not only did they not hurt His Highness, but they exposed their identities and lost soldiers and generals.”

Xiao Rui nodded, if it wasn't for Wei Zhongxian and Yang Organization this time, he would be in trouble this time.

"The next step is to deal with Prince Duan very easily. We don't need to take action at all. As long as His Majesty finds out that Concubine Mu is related to the poisoning of Concubine Rong, His Majesty will take care of him." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Yeah, I don't know how the father's investigation is going?" Xiao Rui muttered to himself.

The next morning, Xiao Rui got up and went to court.

After getting off the carriage outside the Meridian Gate, Xiao Rui walked in against the cold wind. On the way, he met many officials, especially Li Mingchong, the chief minister of the cabinet surrounded by the crowd. Although he was old, he walked steadily.

Seeing Xiao Rui approaching, he quickly stopped, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Xian is here!"

During the turmoil of the past few days, Li Mingchong is also very concerned. After all, Xiao Rui is his grandson-in-law, and he is already on the same boat. He absolutely does not want Xiao Rui to be involved in the murder of his brother. connections and fame, so he also helped coordinate it.With him here, today's Xiao Rui will no longer be attacked by the officials like before.
