The system forced me to be emperor

Along the street, notices were posted, all about the arrest of followers of the Black Lotus Sect. As for the Dongcheng District and Beicheng District, there was also a tense atmosphere, and the court was in full swing to hunt them down.

"Go home." Xiao Rui said to Gao Quan, it seems that the play has just begun.

The progress of Xiao Rui's investigation was also suspended, and someone who secretly monitored Wei Guang and Shao Yao's couple came to report that there was no difference between the two of them, either cooking grilled chicken in the store or going out to buy raw materials.So after discussing with Jia Xu, Xiao Rui asked Wu Zhanfa to go there again.

Wu Zhanfa directly explained his purpose and asked if he would contact the Night King for him.

Wei Guang and Shao Yao are still a little wary, after all, people and things related to the Black Lotus Sect are being strictly investigated in the capital.

Wu Zhanfa didn't say much, and left the grilled chicken restaurant, just asking them to report as soon as possible.

In the next two days, the imperial court finally ordered the start of the eradication of the Black Lotus Sect, arresting the Black Lotus Sect's saints and all high-ranking and believers, and finally began to attack the Black Lotus Sect. , severely punished.

After the decree was issued, Emperor Xia emphasized and praised the second, fifth, and sixth princes in the early court.

Coincidentally, as soon as the morning court ended, the fourth prince Xiao Feng seemed to be stepping into the palace, and then detonated a bomb.

When Xiao Rui learned about it, it was already an afterthought.

Don't look at Xiao Feng as a Wu Hanzi, he usually has no tendons, but this time he accidentally captured an envoy of the Black Lotus Sect.

In the organization of the Black Lotus Sect, there is the Saint Black Lotus at the top, the two protectors at the bottom, and the four envoys at the bottom.

Xiao Feng arrested the envoy, using all means, and finally pried his mouth open, and obtained a roster of loyal followers of the Black Lotus Sect. According to the envoy, this is one of the four rosters , and the other three are in the hands of the other three messengers.

After Xiao Feng saw the content on the roster, he immediately entered the palace and presented it to Emperor Xia.

After Xia Huang saw it, he was furious, and quickly ordered the commander of Jin Yiwei to envoy Zhang Yu into the palace, and threw the roster to him.

"Take a good look, this is my good courtier of Da Xia, who is receiving a salary, and actually joins forces with the Black Lotus Sect! Check!"

Emperor Xia was angry.

Zhang Yu was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, he quickly picked up the roster and left the hall.

Standing in front of the main hall, Zhang Yu opened the roster, and the cold sweat that had just stopped broke out again.

I saw that the roster was full of people's names, the most important thing was that among the names, there was a name specially circled by red cinnabar, and the name was so familiar, it was a courtier of the Great Xia Kingdom.

This is second, because Zhang Yu also discovered that these names are not only officials, but also closely related to the arrest of the most eager princes of the Black Lotus Sect these days.

This is really uproarious.

Are you going to start slapping yourself in the face?

Chapter 56: Monk Yuanzhen

After Xiao Feng left the palace, what happened in the palace was not spread, but when Jin Yiwei's commander Zhang Yu started arresting people, the whole capital didn't want to know.

The first one among them was the cousin of the second prince Xiao Yiheng's uncle, who served as the doctor of the fifth rank of the Ministry of Punishment.

The people Jin Yiwei went directly to the Yamen of the Criminal Ministry to arrest were so tough that Zhou Mingwen, who was the right servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, was completely confused.

Surprise, not unexpected?

His cousin is still accused of being a cultist of the Black Lotus Sect!

In the past few days, he has been busy helping his nephew to arrest members of the Black Lotus Sect, but he did not expect that people around him would be arrested while flowers bloomed outside the wall.

After Xiao Yiheng found out, he scolded this distant uncle to be damned. He had just been praised by his father when such a thing happened, and his face was slapped.Zhou Mingwen also proposed whether to intercede with Emperor Xia?Xiao Yiheng thought over and over again, and uttered one word: Yes!

Immediately afterwards, Jin Yiwei arrested several people, among them were the relatives and friends of the fifth and sixth princes.

This drama was full of ups and downs, and after Xiao Rui knew about it, it was too late.

At the same time, he also knew what Emperor Xia's teaching was.

Let the prince investigate the Black Lotus Sect first, and praise it when there are some results, and then start to eliminate the Black Lotus Sect, pull out a series of problematic names, so that the prince will face himself, when they face their relatives who are related to them When he is a follower of the Black Lotus Sect, how should the prince choose?

This is teaching, this is teaching.

At the same time, Xiao Rui couldn't help admiring Emperor Xia's brilliant move, which not only educated the princes, made them understand that in the face of state affairs, anyone who breaks the law is unforgivable, even if he is your relative or friend!

This is the ruthlessness that a qualified emperor should have.

In addition, it also made the prince a sword in the hands of Emperor Xia, who could mercilessly slaughter criminal courtiers, because the prince stood in front of him, and he stayed out of the matter.

The third is Jia Xu's conjecture, which should be a veiled warning from Emperor Xia: I did not allow you to form cliques secretly, so everyone has to be honest.As a future king, it is necessary to cultivate the overall situation, assess the situation, and endure loneliness.

Only Xiao Yiheng, Xiao Yuan, and Xiao Ming fell into the pit now, but you must know that there are four rosters of the Black Lotus Sect, and the names of the other three rosters must have nothing to do with other princes?

Even Xiao Rui suspected that his distant relatives might be involved.

Because if the Black Lotus Sect is really controlled by the Night King, it must be the first choice to win over the emperor's relatives, especially the prince's relatives, let alone let them go.

Of course, these are Xiao Rui and Jia Xu's speculations, because from the beginning, Emperor Xia only asked the princes to look for Xiao Heding instead of investigating the Black Lotus Sect.

It was all the princes who were attracted by the Black Lotus Sect in the information, blinded by one leaf, thinking that the Black Lotus Sect was related to Xiao Heding, as long as they found out about the Black Lotus Sect, they would find Xiao Heding.

So Emperor Xia didn't say anything, it was the lessons learned by the princes themselves.

This is the brilliance of Emperor Xia.

Jia Xu suspected that Emperor Xia had investigated the Black Lotus Sect for a long time, and he didn't do anything for a long time. He just wanted to fatten up before killing them. Now it seems, um, even the fat ones can't walk.

In two days, Jin Yiwei arrested more than 20 court officials. It is worth mentioning that one of them turned out to be another envoy, so he contributed another roster, and the more exciting face-slapping activities continued.

The younger brother of the fourth prince Xiao Feng's grandfather was actually in the roster.

Oh my God.

Xiao Feng was also dumbfounded.

I just gave my brother a knife, and I stabbed myself with a backhand?

His grandfather even came to intercede: "Feng'er, your grandfather and I are only my own brother. He was deceived into joining the Black Lotus Sect. He didn't do it willingly. Why don't you go to Emperor Xia to beg for mercy?"

The corner of Xiao Feng's mouth twitched, although he was usually a muscle, but this time he was very smart.You don’t go begging for mercy even if you are a British prince, but I’m going, how will my father fix me, a prince who is inconsistent?

So Xiao Feng did what he was best at, went directly to the palace to plead guilty, and begged his father to severely punish the villains of the Black Lotus Sect!

Emperor Xia greatly praised Xiao Feng, which excited Xiao Feng who was already nervous, and understood more clearly that only by upholding justice can he be recognized.

What should be mentioned is that the third prince Xiao Ze also has relatives involved in this matter, but he is lazy in the first place and didn't bother to ask.His grandfather knew the general situation and didn't bother him at all.

At this time, only the eldest prince Xiao Lie, the seventh prince Xiao Rui, and the ninth prince Xiao Yan stayed out of the matter.

Don't forget, there are two rosters.
