The system forced me to be emperor

Afterwards, the queen left the East Palace and returned to Changchun Palace.

The scene is not over until the queen is confirmed to be gone.

Everyone recalled whether they had revealed their secrets. This is a drama without rehearsal. Once the secrets are revealed like a joke, it will be troublesome.

Fortunately, everyone knew that the situation was important, and it was done in one step.Of course, Yan Xiaoxiao, Zhuge Liuying, and Li Ruoxue were just acting in a group. The three of them lowered their heads and pretended to cry so as not to show off. The main thing was to see Xiao Mingying and Li Mingchong's acting skills.

Then again, they are all old fritters in the officialdom, which one is not an old drama player who acts every day!

Afterwards, Xiao Rui was given the antidote. After waking up, Xiao Rui raised his left hand and said in pain: "Who pierced this palace, so cruel!"

Only then did everyone see the pinhole on Xiao Rui's palm, and immediately understood that it was the queen's fault. Since His Majesty had already arrived, no one dared to complain.

Emperor Xia glanced at Xiao Rui's injury, then waved his hand and said: "You have worked hard, go down and have a rest, I will talk to the crown prince."

Everyone understood, and everyone retreated obediently.

Xiao Rui hurriedly tore off the props on his face. This was made in a hurry by Azhu. It was made with the skin of an old man. Only when he put it on his face did Xiao Rui look exhausted. He was tortured by the poison and was about to die.

Only Emperor Xia and Xiao Rui were left in the room.

Xia Huang smiled and said: "The queen blames me, I can understand, since ancient times, the eldest son of the first line will inherit the throne, but I have been delaying, the queen complains, and I will not be angry. But this time the queen came, after all Whether it was unintentional, intentional, or a pawn of the commander behind the scenes, I can’t see clearly now. But she suggested that King Tang be the emperor, what do you think? You have the best relationship with King Tang, so you might as well talk about it.”

Xiao Rui said: "Father, my son thinks that it is reasonable for the empress to disagree with the king of Jin being promoted. The mother and concubine of Jin is the empress of the imperial concubine. If the king of Jin ascends the throne, the relationship between the empress and the empress will be even stronger. It's bad, this is what the empress doesn't want to see."

A biological mother, a queen, once King Jin becomes emperor, the rest of Zhou Xiangyun's life will be miserable. She has oppressed Lin Yu'er for these years, and now the feng shui has changed, and she will suffer, so he absolutely does not allow King Jin to inherit the rule.

Xiao Rui continued: "Except for King Jin, among the others, I didn't expect that the Empress would choose King Tang."

"Who do you think she should choose?" Emperor Xia asked with a smile.

"King Duan." Xiao Rui said.

"The reason." Xia Huang asked.

Xiao Rui explained: "Father, if what my son said is disrespectful, please forgive me. My son thinks that Queen Mother and Concubine Duan hanged herself. If King Duan ascends to the throne, the empress is the empress dowager, which is most suitable for the empress. beneficial."

These words are indeed disrespectful, what Xiao Rui meant, the empress recommended the new emperor for her own benefit, not for Daxia.

Naturally, Emperor Xia would not reprimand Xiao Rui for his concern, he asked with a smile: "But the empress recommended King Tang."

"That's right, this is also what my son can't understand." Xiao Rui nodded.

Emperor Xia took a sip of tea and continued: "Don't hide it, just talk about it."

Xiao Rui chuckled, and then said: "Father, the empress came here this time, and she insisted on seeing Father, so it can be seen that she did not come here unintentionally, but came here on purpose, just to verify Father's situation. And when the empress found out that something happened to her father and her son was dying, the empress offered to support the king of Tang, which meant that supporting the king of Tang would allow the empress to get what she wanted, which was even greater than supporting the king. .Then who gave the empress the benefits? It must be the person behind the scenes. Then it also proves that the person behind the scenes did all this to let Tang Wang take the throne!"

"Does King Tang have the ability to plan? My son thinks that King Tang's mind is not able to support these schemes. Then it must be someone else, and someone who is closely related to King Tang. For example...Jing Guogong."

"Reminiscent of the fact that after Lu Su and Lu Zhi entered the capital, they used the help of Lord Jingguo, and it was Lord Jingguo who begged his father to let Lu Zhi be a female official in the East Palace. All these problems made my ministers have to doubt that Lord Jingguo was among them. Did it play any role?"

After saying these words, Xiao Rui fell silent.

Xiao Yan has a childlike heart, so it is hard to guarantee that his elders will not plan for him.And now it seems that this plan is very ingenious and almost successful.

Emperor Xia smiled and said, "It's okay to have doubts, but it's okay to have no solid evidence."

Xiao Rui immediately understood Emperor Xia's reminder that since he doubted Duke Jing, he had to investigate him carefully. While there are still two days left, he might be able to find something unexpected.

Later, Xiao Rui asked Li Yuanfang to go to Zhan Shifu and started to track down Lord Yasukuni. At the same time, Wei Zhongxian of the East Palace also received instructions from Hai Dafu to send his confidants to secretly investigate Lord Yasukuni.

……

In the middle of the night, Xiao Rui sat in the small garden behind the house and watched the moon.

The road to becoming an emperor is full of thorns, because the throne is too tempting, and if all the hidden dangers are not eliminated, even if Xiao Rui sits on the throne now, he will not be at ease.

When Xiao Rui was feeling emotional, Yan Xiaoxiao came over at some point.

Chapter 538: Fighting with others is a lot of fun

Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Xiao Rui looked back and saw that Yan Xiaoxiao had already walked beside him.

"Xiao Xiao is here." Xiao Rui smiled.

Yan Xiaoxiao held the sweet soup and said: "I see that Your Highness eats little for dinner, so I prepared some sweet soup. I made it myself. Would you like to try it, Your Highness?"

"Okay!" Xiao Rui took the sweet soup and tasted it.

Seeing Xiao Rui eating so happily, Yan Xiaoxiao felt like eating honey in her heart, but sending sweet soup was just a trivial matter, and there was one more thing she was hesitating about, not knowing whether to say it or not.

Xiao Rui noticed that she was hesitant to speak, so he asked, "Is there something on your mind? There are no outsiders here, and I am an excellent listener."

Yan Xiaoxiao shook her head, and said: "Your Highness, it's not about me, but... but the Empress Empress came here strangely, probably at the instigation of someone in the dark, so the servant guessed that the Empress Empress would definitely send her back to Changchun Palace after returning to Changchun Palace." What I saw today contacted the envoy. As the mother of a country, it is impossible for her to meet in person. She must have sent her confidants. I was worried that the empress would be detrimental to His Highness, so I slightly and simply bought off the female officials of the Changchun Palace. Do you need a servant to inquire about it?"

Xiao Rui frowned and looked at Yan Xiaoxiao in surprise.

Sure enough, Xiao Xiao has grown up, and he can reach out to the queen, which is really beyond Xiao Rui's expectation!

At the same time, Xiao Rui felt very warm, Xiao Xiao believed in himself so much that he dared to tell himself these words. Hearing that she heard that she was unconscious, she gave up everything and ran over. When she came to the East Palace, her legs were so frightened that her legs went limp. Crying, is this friendship just because he has saved her?

Xiao Rui is not a straight man of steel, he knew Xiao Xiao's intentions a long time ago, it's just that Xiao Xiao's current position is the female officer of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, so it's not easy to handle, it seems that he has to find a way to transfer her out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but How to explain to His Majesty that this is the most difficult thing to do.

"Your Majesty has asked Hai Dafu to send someone to investigate. If nothing can be found, I will hand it over to Xiao Xiao." Xiao Rui said.

Yan Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, as long as she could help Xiao Rui, even if it was an unknown help, she would be willing.

"Your Highness, you don't have to worry about other things. The boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge, and everything is vain, and you will definitely not be able to beat His Highness!" Yan Xiaoxiao said.

Xiao Rui immediately stretched his eyebrows.

He did have something on his mind. The empress came to test this time, and the result was that Lord Yasukuni had a problem, so he wanted to investigate Lord Yasukuni, but what about the others?

From the beginning of the fight for the position of crown prince, Xiao Rui defeated all the princes, and now he has finally become the crown prince, but he finds that the enemies are far more than those before, and the strength of the other party is very strong.

First of all, Xiao Feng and Huang Qilin, these two people are not easy-going lamps.

King Ruyang is even more mysterious, and it is only now that the clouds and mist have been cleared, and his true face is gradually seen.But because His Majesty was involved, it was probably His Majesty's scheme back then, so Xiao Rui didn't dare to investigate further.

Now he ran out of Yasukuni again.Because of Xiao Yan's relationship, Xiao Rui felt that Jing Guogong was a good person, but killing himself was really merciless.

Besides them, is there anyone else?

If I don't become the emperor for a day, I will be the enemy of everyone. Maybe this is the experience and tribulation.

Just like what the Queen said, if His Majesty doesn't make his son the crown prince, it's not abiding by the rules. Since His Majesty doesn't follow the rules, how can the other sons be convinced?So what's wrong with conspiring to fight for the throne?

At this moment, Xiao Rui finally understood why in ancient times, one would establish a heir but not a concubine, a senior but not a young, and status was even more important than virtuous, because this was a rule, a rule to ensure stability.
