The system forced me to be emperor

Unexpectedly, when he was about to leave, Xu Xianyang suddenly stopped him and said, "Xiao Rui, you are right, people like to hide little secrets in their hearts, but I am a dying person, so I don't expect to hide little secrets." It's a secret, but to find ways to live. But, do you know why I didn't tell Dongchang about this common point?"

"Why?" Xiao Rui asked subconsciously.

Xu Xianyang smiled inscrutablely: "The capital is so big, although this old man is a second-rank cabinet elder, but after all, he comes from a humble background and is not the top family or family in this big capital. But why is my retainer a traitor? Aren’t you curious about this? What about the other dignitaries? What about the retainers they keep? Take care of yourself. Hey... So, when a person is about to die, his heart is kind!”

Xiao Rui was shocked, unable to speak for a long time.

Back at the house, Xiao Rui told Jia Xu Xu Xianyang's original words.

Jia Xu said with a smile, "Your Highness, you don't have to worry about it. No matter how deep the water is for the rich and powerful in the capital, they are still under the control of Emperor Xia. I think that even if the Night King is not dead, it will be difficult for him to succeed."

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Yes, I was worrying too much."

"Then His Highness will continue to look for the Night King?" Jia Xu asked curiously.

Xiao Rui nodded: "Look for it!"

Jia Xu frowned when he heard this, completely unable to guess Xiao Rui's intentions, he has seen countless people, this kind of situation is still very rare.

It is estimated that he wants to break his head, and he will not know that there is such a thing as a system.

Ps: In the new week, please recommend tickets to see if you can show your face on the new book list.

Chapter 46: The Emperor Xia's Mission

Xiao Rui has always respected the system.

Well, this is a deliberate fawning.

But to be honest, although the tasks assigned by the system are sometimes deceptive, they are basically not harmful. In the end, there is always a deep meaning behind it, directly or indirectly pushing, rushing, and whipping Xiao Rui to go up .

As for what is above?The position of prince?throne?Or a more powerful position, all promoting Xiao Rui's growth.

So Xiao Rui can believe that it is also a process of upward struggle for the system to let him find the Night King.

Just when Xiao Rui was thinking about investigating "Grilled Chicken", a command suddenly came from the palace, ordering Xiao Rui to enter the palace to face the saint.

After entering the palace, I learned that not only Xiao Rui entered the palace, but also several other princes.

This was the second convening of all the princes since Emperor Xia's birthday, and the time interval was only a few days.I believe that not only Xiao Rui thinks about it, but the other princes also keep thinking about it.

What does the emperor want to do?After all, the date of the birthday was pointed out, and the position of the crown prince lived there. This entry into the palace should not be about the succession of the position of the crown prince.

Everyone came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation with a restless mood.

Emperor Xia seated the nine princes, and then cut to the point very straightforwardly.

"I've been annoyed by one thing recently, but I can't investigate it with great fanfare. Dongchang and Jinyiwei each have their own tasks, so I want you guys to share my worries." Emperor Xia laughed.

When the princes heard this, their hearts immediately surged.

Sharing worries for Emperor Xia is the time to show their abilities, and they are naturally eager.

"I don't know what troubled my father, but I am willing to share my worries with my heart." The eldest prince Xiao Lie said solemnly.

"My son is also willing to share his father's worries." The other princes stood up and responded one after another.

Emperor Xia smiled and said: "I am very pleased with your filial piety. You all know the situation about Xu Xianyang, but Xu Xianyang hanged himself in prison last night. know this."

"What?" Xiao Rui was shocked.

He only met Xu Xianyang yesterday afternoon, and committed suicide that night, how could it be possible!Xiao Rui absolutely did not believe that he would commit suicide, so how did he die?was killed?Who killed it?Who can enter the East Factory death row and kill people?

Xiao Rui was full of doubts.

But the other princes were not surprised.

"Father, Xu Xianyang deserves to be punished for his crimes, and committing suicide to subdue the law is considered cheap for him." The second prince Xiao Yiheng said coldly.

Emperor Xia smiled and said: "He was ashamed of me, he apologized himself, and left his whole body. But the rebel incident troubled me, so I called you into the palace to help me track down the rebel leader Xiao Heding. I got reliable information , Xiao Heding is currently in the capital! Who can find him for me, I can promise him that when he arranges corresponding positions for you, he can choose at will from the six ministries, temples and yamen."

Several princes were overjoyed.

Among all the government offices in the capital, except for the cabinet, there are six.Although the six ministries are equally ranked, the Ministry of Officials is recognized as the boss. It is in charge of the appointment and dismissal, examinations, promotions, honors, and transfers of civil officials in the world. Therefore, serving in the Ministry of Officials is the most beneficial to the competition for the crown prince.

Xiao Rui was a little surprised, he didn't expect the system to issue a task to himself one step earlier than Emperor Xia, and he had already obtained clues ahead of the other princes, ranking first.

Haha... Sure enough, the system can only deceive people, not harm them.

However, what Emperor Xia said next made Xiao Rui depressed.

"Of course, I also understand that it is really embarrassing for you to investigate without any clues. Fortunately, Dongchang secretly found some clues and gave them to you. Whoever can find the traitor Xiao Heding depends on your own means." Xia Xia Huang laughed.

After Emperor Xia finished speaking, Hai Dafu brought nine documents and distributed them to the nine princes one by one.

Xiao Rui took the documents, and the nine of them quit the palace.

On the way back, Xiao Yan ran over and asked, "Seventh brother, what is the intention of the father? Why did you ask us to find someone?"

"This is also a kind of test." Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Perhaps from now on, the emperor will observe our performance, whoever has the ability will be able to inherit the rule."

"It's so troublesome, I don't want to be the prince, can I not participate?" Xiao Yan muttered.

Xiao Rui paused, looked at him and asked, "Really don't want to be a prince? Will he be the king of a country in the future? Who wouldn't be jealous?"

Xiao Yan smiled and said: "Seventh brother, you should be the prince."

"I don't have such ability." Xiao Rui denied.

"Pretend it." Xiao Yan snorted, "Isn't Father forcing us brothers to have a gap, or even kill each other?"

Xiao Rui thought of what Jia Xu said, Emperor Xia was raising Gu.

"Xiao Jiu, in the royal family, you should have such an awareness long ago." Xiao Rui warned: "I think the father did the right thing. We brothers, whoever is capable will be the prince. With this secret fight, It’s better to look at the ability on the bright side. This avoids the true sense of brotherhood, and from another perspective, this is the prince whose father’s protection ability is low.”

Xiao Yan was taken aback for a moment, but then he understood.

It seems like raising Gu, but under the control of Emperor Xia, the prince who loses is because of his ability, so he can avoid killing him secretly, because he knows that Emperor Xia is watching, and he has taboos, so he dare not do too much. No matter how merciful Emperor Xia was, he would never choose a man who murdered his brother to be the crown prince.

If you dare to kill your brother, you will kill your father someday if you don't keep it together!

"Then Seventh Brother, how did we find Xiao Heding?" Xiao Yan asked.

Xiao Rui glared at him, and said, "Find out your own way, we are in a competitive relationship now!"

Xiao Yan grumbled, and pulled Xiao Rui's sleeve, scaring Xiao Rui away.

Outside the imperial city, Gao Quan was waiting in his carriage.
