The system forced me to be emperor

Then ordered the carriage to continue to return.

After midnight, the curfew streets were empty except for soldiers from the patrol battalion.

Xiao Feng quietly left the palace in night clothes, went to a quiet house in the west of the city, and knocked on the back door.

crunch...

The door of the room was opened, and there was a book boy inside the door, he asked: "What are you doing late at night, my lord?"

Xiao Feng said: "Tread the clouds."

The book boy immediately invited Xiao Feng to enter, and when he came to a room, Xiao Feng met his relative, Huang Qilin.

"Grandfather!" Xiao Feng's eyes were red, he immediately stepped forward to pay homage.

Huang Qilin supported Xiao Feng, said with a smile: "Feng'er get up quickly, you are a prince, how can you worship a fugitive like me?"

Xiao Feng shook his head and said: "In my grandson's heart, my grandfather is the most important person to me."

Huang Qilin was greatly moved, he pulled Xiao Feng to sit down, said with a smile: "The last time I lied to death without telling you, it was because I was afraid that you would be impulsive, don't blame grandpa."

Xiao Feng said: "Of course my grandson won't blame me, but it's a pity that my grandfather's whereabouts have been leaked, my grandson can't wait to kill Xiao Rui!"

"Hey, it's a pity that Xiao Rui was captured by a god-given opportunity, and he was allowed to run away. I missed the opportunity and regretted it." Huang Qilin said regretfully.

Xiao Feng didn't know exactly what happened that night, only after hearing Huang Qilin's narration at this moment did he understand the whole story.

"Grandfather also wants to get gunpowder. Besides, is this gunpowder really so powerful and mysterious? I've never heard of it in the capital?" Xiao Feng asked.

Huang Qilin sighed: "The power of gunpowder has already surpassed manpower. The crown prince and Emperor Xia knew the power of gunpowder well, so the concealment was done very well. The production and testing were all in the Huben Pavilion. The Huben Pavilion is outside the city, and the defenses are strict." Comparable to the Forbidden Army, gunpowder is produced there. I bought a few craftsmen from Huben Pavilion to try to formulate the formula for gunpowder, but there was no result. So I can only study it myself..."

"The only good thing is that when Xiao Rui transported gunpowder into the palace in Zhao Guohuang, he used alchemy medicinal materials. I found some gunpowder hidden by an imperial doctor. But there are many types in it, and many of them are used to cover up. Yes, so it is too difficult to reverse the formula through gunpowder, and for now, we can only arrange alchemists to develop and invent it themselves."

"Grandfather, have you been in the capital all this time?" Xiao Feng asked.

Huang Qilin shook his head and said, "I just came back. I went to a place to meet friends. This time I won't stay for too long. There are many spies in the East Factory, so it's not suitable to stay for a long time."

Xiao Feng sighed: "Grandfather, it's because grandson is incapable and can't help you."

Huang Qilin smiled and said: "These are not your fault! For your mother and concubine, for yourself, work hard, if the crown prince does not sit on the throne for a day, you will have a chance. This time when I come back, I am planning a big event. Oh , By the way, after I came back, I heard about Duke Yasukuni’s methods, if it wasn’t for Lu Zhi’s rebellion, Duke Yasukuni’s scheme might really succeed, so people who are eyeing the throne don’t have to say less.”

Xiao Feng nodded repeatedly, then asked: "Grandfather, what is the big plan?"

Huang Qilin laughed and said, "Come here with your ears attached!"

The two whispered to each other, and the plot began.

Chapter 558: Emperor Xia's Shock Turns Pale

The candle flame flickered, casting two shadows whispering on the wall.

It seems to be a psychological hint. People like to keep quiet when conspiring to talk. Even if there is no one else in the room, they are worried that the partition wall has ears.

After hearing Huang Qilin's plan, Xiao Feng's wide eyes were obviously shocked, but he asked immediately: "Grandfather, this plan is wonderful, but will it succeed? Your Majesty is resourceful, can you hide it from him? And it's not good. Take control!"

Huang Qilin stroked his beard and smiled: "This plan is a long-term plan, and it cannot be accomplished overnight. As for Emperor Xia, believe it or not, Feng Er, you will understand when you reach that age. And in order to make the plan seamless, the people involved in the plan don't even know they are Under the plan, Emperor Xia couldn't find out even if he tried to find out. Moreover, the old man just made a push, so Emperor Xia couldn't find out. As for whether it can be successful, it may be possible to succeed by inserting willows unintentionally! Now we will not let anyone go means."

"Where did grandfather find him?" Xiao Feng asked again.

Huang Qilin smiled and said: "When I went to visit my friends to discuss other matters, I happened to see it. At that time, I was also shocked. By the way, this plot has nothing to do with you. You have nothing to do with yourself and hang it up. Wait until I tell the plot After signing the line, I should also leave, and it is not appropriate to stay in Kyoto for a long time."

Although Xiao Feng was reluctant, he also knew it was the truth, so he asked: "Where is grandfather planning to go?"

Huang Qilin smiled and said: "When I was young, I traveled around the world. Now that I am old, go back to the route of the past, and re-arrange for your great cause. I am going to visit Qi State first, and then enter Yuan State. I should go to Qin State, because the final opponent of Great Xia in the future must be Qin State! The situation of Qin State is arranged in advance so that we, who are at a disadvantage, can catch up. In addition, the battle for the throne is not a one-day job. When I am not in Kyoto, you have to continue Protect yourself, look for and create opportunities to leave the capital, your goal is to gain a certain amount of military power! As for the assassination of the prince, you must never do it again. At least one year, at most one and a half years, the old man will come back .”

Xiao Feng nodded solemnly, keeping Huang Qilin's words in his heart.Although he is not by his side, as long as he is alive, Xiao Feng can feel at ease.

"It's getting late, go back, don't come to me after tomorrow, I will move to another place tonight. Also, be careful of Ruyang King Xiao Conghu! Emperor Xia already knows that Ruyang King knows the truth, so Close monitoring of Xiao Conghu is also the reason why he lives in a shallow place, so don't go to see Xiao Conghu in the future." Huang Qilin warned.

Xiao Feng replied: "Grandson understands, grandson must leave, grandfather must take care of his health!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Feng got up and bowed deeply.

The corners of Huang Qilin's eyes were wet, and he immediately sent Xiao Feng out, watching him disappear into the night, he also left quietly with the book boy.

……

Yang Feiyuan was relegated from the cabinet. After Yang's inspection, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was not idle, and continued to cooperate with Dongchang and Jinyiwei to thoroughly investigate the local officials who had problems with the provision of grain storage by the Ministry of Households. However, Xiao Rui did not need to be responsible personally.

8000 million taels were confiscated, 4000 million taels were given to the treasury, and Xiao Rui and His Majesty shared half of the rest. The huge sum of 2000 million taels was enough for Xiao Rui to squander.

However, these silvers are the value of selling everything, such as land, houses, jades, etc., into silver. Xiao Rui probably has to wait until after he gets married if he wants to get the silver.

There are still ten days before getting married, Xiao Rui's eyes are on the system tasks again.

During this period of time, Jia Xu has been sending people to watch over the Japanese envoy, but the other party has nothing out of the ordinary, and it seems that there is no conspiracy.

What is the purpose of the system to let Xiao Rui find out the Japanese country?Moreover, due to the urine nature of the system, such tasks will not be issued for no reason, so there must be something, but it hasn't happened yet, or it hasn't started yet.

So Xiao Rui could only wait and watch.

Time came to a new day, November [-]th.

At court this morning, after several political affairs were settled, the Minister of Honglu Temple came out and reported: "Qi Zou Your Majesty, I have something to play!"

"Ready!" Xia Huang said.

Xiao Rui saw that it was the Minister of Honglu Temple, and immediately became interested. Could it be that it has something to do with the Wa Kingdom?

As expected, I only heard Honglu Temple Secretary say: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the Japanese envoys have completed the trade negotiations and are preparing to leave for home in three days. I would like to ask Your Majesty for your permission."

The Japanese envoys have arrived, and the letters of credence and tribute have been handed in, but His Majesty did not personally receive them.Now that Waguo and Daxia have finished talking about the trade situation for the next year, it is naturally time to leave.

Emperor Xia nodded and said: "I have seen the content of the trade discussed by the two parties. The total value has increased compared with previous years, and the Ashikaga Shogunate also specifically emphasized that they will encircle and suppress bandits and avoid encroaching on the coast of Great Xia. I am very satisfied with this intention. .”

"Killing pirates and Japanese pirates is what the Japanese country should do." The Minister of Honglu Temple responded respectfully.

At this time, Emperor Xia continued: "Speaking of Japanese pirates, I reminded me. Li Shoufu, after the morning court, drafted a decree to notify the coastal prefectures to increase vigilance and prevent pirates from invading. Not long ago, the champion came to report, because the big The soldiers of Xia attacked Fengtian City of Qi State, and many Qi army ferries entered the sea. They were active between the small country of Tiandu and Japan, and pretended to be Japanese pirates to invade the coastal areas of Great Xia. This must be a conspiracy of Qi State. Attempts to attack our coasts have put us on the edge."

"Yes, I understand!" Li Mingchong got up to accept the order.

Emperor Xia thought for a while, and said: "Our Great Xia needs the Wa Kingdom to come forward to encircle and suppress the hidden pirates. This is not an easy task, and the Wa Kingdom must pay attention to it. If this is the case, let's meet the Wa Kingdom's envoys this year. Inform the Japanese envoys that I will personally meet them in the afternoon."

"My minister complies with the decree." The Minister of Honglu Temple immediately responded with the decree.

Then morning ended.

Xiao Rui followed His Majesty back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. After spending the whole morning peacefully, he had lunch and rested for a while. At the end of the day, the Japanese envoys entered the palace to face the saint.
