The system forced me to be emperor

It is not easy to find the imprisoned Lu Zhi in the huge capital without any clues!

"By the way, how did Lu Ao ask your sister to assassinate His Majesty?" Xiao Rui asked quickly.

Lu Su quickly took out a paper bag from his bosom, handed it to Xiao Rui, and said: "That Lu Ao said, poison His Highness first, this is poison, and it is not an ordinary poison. After His Highness is poisoned, he will be in a coma and lie in bed as if he was sick." At that time, His Majesty will naturally visit the East Palace. My sister is skilled in martial arts, and once she gets close to His Majesty, she can assassinate her! But Lu Ao also said, let me wait for a while, don't poison me, and wait for his order when to do it. , he will arrange for someone to notify me!"

Xiao Rui nodded.

Lu Ao is the leader of the assassins of the Qi State. His purpose of assassinating His Majesty is to save the Qi State. From this point of view, the poison in this paper bag is not only to make him unconscious and lie in bed, it is very likely to be a strange poison. Lu Ao will never release it. Live yourself.

And once something happened between himself and His Majesty, the Great Xia would be without a leader, and it was inevitable that a new crown prince would be elected to succeed him, but how could Lu Ao be sure that the new crown prince would withdraw his army after succeeding to the throne?

Then there is only one possibility, and that is that Lu Ao must have colluded with others in doing all this!And the person who colludes with him has a great chance to sit on the throne, so this person must be one of the remaining princes!

Thinking of this, Xiao Rui's thoughts immediately became clear.

Then, the next thing is not to save Lu's pheasant, but to find a way to catch the messenger behind the scenes, dare to plan to kill brothers and fathers, such a poisonous snake stays in the dark, it makes people chill to think about it.

Then...

Of the six princes staying in Kyoto now, who would be the messenger?

Xiao Rui's first thought was Xiao Feng!

After all, Xiao Feng has been hiding for so long, his scheming and city management are unfathomable, and don't forget Huang Qilin, this old thing is still hiding in the dark, it is not surprising that he is in the capital of Daxia!

Besides him, what about the other princes?

Xiao Lie, Xiao Ming, Xiao Yuan, Xiao Jing and Xiao Yan!

There is no prince who does not covet the throne!Xiao Rui firmly believed in this sentence.So if he and His Majesty are dead, and the secret commander wants to sit on the throne, what method does he need?

First, there is no direct relationship.

This is the custom and the order of succession to the throne, but don't forget that His Majesty has not followed this rule. Do you expect the other princes to agree?

Or convincing people with virtue, several princes jointly elected!

But is it possible?Of the remaining six princes, who will obey whom?

If the simplest and most harmonious way can't be done, then the old prince of the royal family and the important officials of the court can only discuss and jointly select a prince with outstanding moral character and ability to succeed to the throne.

Is this method feasible?

fuck it!Xiao Feng was the first to jump out and disagree.It's not good for him to pretend to be stupid for so long.

Since gentle means are not enough, it can only be robbed.

Whoever is tough enough to kill all those who stand in the way can sit on the supreme position. After all, the throne has always been above the bloody road since ancient times.

So this possibility is the greatest.

But the Patrol Battalion is in charge of the Zhongyonghou Zhang Jinfu, and Zhuge Yuanba is in charge of the Forbidden Army in the palace, so there is only the Northwest Camp left inside and outside the capital!

It seems that the commander must have colluded with the generals of the Northwest Camp!

But the Northwest Camp has always been loyal to His Majesty, and every general has passed the strict review of the East Factory. Even if there is a problem, it will be difficult to find out in a short time.

……

Xiao Rui froze there thinking deeply, and Lu Su didn't dare to disturb him.After a long time, Xiao Rui came back to his senses and stood up, saying: "Lu Su, I will find a way to save your sister, but this matter cannot be rushed. You stay in the East Palace for now, continue to pretend to be your sister, and wait for Lu Ao to give you a signal. "

"Yes, I understand!" Lu Su finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Xiao Rui's words.

Xiao Rui immediately left the palace under the escort of Li Yuanfang and went to Zhan Shifu.

It happened that the four advisers were all there, so Xiao Rui immediately summoned them to the secret room and repeated what happened today.

After hearing this, the four of them also looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling covered in cold sweat, thankfully Lu Zhi didn't really do anything.

"Your Highness saved himself by relying on his looks!" Guo Jia exclaimed.

"Yeah, it really is good to be handsome!" Jia Xu touched his old face and began to think about his youthful years.

"I didn't expect Miss Lu Zhi to be fascinated by beauty." Zhang Liang said with emotion.

Xiao He was the latest to come, and many things were not clear, but at this moment, he also said to suit the occasion: "His Highness's beauty...cough cough...His Highness's appearance is indeed unique."

Xiao Rui rolled his eyes, why did he feel that he was going in the wrong direction, is it time to talk about his appearance?How to catch the instigator behind the scenes is the top priority.

Although he is really handsome.

Xiao Rui coughed, and the discussion among the four stopped.Xiao Rui then said: "Let's get down to business! The person behind the scenes conspired with Lu Ao to assassinate His Majesty and me. Naturally, it was for the throne. Now I just rely on suspicion without evidence. Even if I go directly to His Majesty, His Majesty will not believe it." Knowing who did it may even scare the snake. So is there a good way to catch this hidden poisonous snake and catch it all?"

"We know too little information. We don't even know who the enemy is or how many people there are. Unless we use tricks, we don't have a good idea!" Zhang Liang said first.

Guo Jia agreed: "That's right, it's the best way to use tricks to lure out all the big fish with ulterior motives!"

Xiao He and Jia Xu also nodded in agreement.

Xiao Rui naturally understands the advantages of playing tricks, as long as Xiao Rui and His Majesty pretend to be dead, it is equivalent to turning from light to darkness, and you can sit on a high platform to watch a big show, but...it is difficult for Your Majesty to pretend to be dead!

Chapter 529: Expansion of Frontiers and Expansion of Fourteen States! (Part 2)

Xiao Rui is very willing to play dead, but he is not sure about convincing His Majesty, the king of a country, to play dead.

"The method is a good method, but I'm afraid His Majesty will not agree." Xiao Rui expressed his concern.

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "If you don't try, how will you know if His Majesty will agree? And now we really can't think of a better way, because we know too little about the situation. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win every battle. The success rate of other strategies is too low. .”

Jia Xu said: "Your Highness, this is a major matter of regicide. It involves treason and cannot be held in our hands. We must report the truth to His Majesty. As for your Majesty's willingness to follow the plan, it depends on His Majesty's will."

"Mr. Wen He is right. This time it is not a small fight, but a rebellion against the king! The instigator is likely to be another prince, and this matter cannot be concealed! In order not to be framed in the future, it is His Highness who is eradicating dissidents." Xiao He also put forward his own views.

Guo Jia said: "Your Highness, you hand over the package of poison to your subordinates, and your subordinates will go to Hua Tuo to see if he can distinguish the type of poison, so that we can facilitate our strategy!"

Xiao Rui handed the poison to Xiao Guojia, and finally nodded and said: "The four gentlemen are right. I will enter the palace now, and I will persuade His Majesty to pretend to be dead at any cost. Once His Majesty agrees to the plan, what should I do next? It depends on His Majesty's instructions."

The four nodded in agreement.

Immediately, Xiao Rui returned to the palace.

However, it was getting late, when Xiao Rui came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, His Majesty was not in the hall, and only after inquiring did he learn that His Majesty was a little tired after reviewing too many memorials today, and had already gone back to rest.

The internal officer asked Xiao Rui if there was something urgent that he needed to see, Xiao Rui hesitated for a while and finally shook his head and returned to the East Palace.

The next day, Xiao Rui got up early to go to court.

In the early morning, His Majesty asked Yang Feiyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, about the progress of clearing the world's grain fields. Yang Feiyuan replied that 80% of the area had been completed, and other areas were being intensively cleared, and it was expected to be completed within two months.
