The system forced me to be emperor

Ashikaga Yumi nodded, took out a letter, handed it to Xiao Rui, and said: "His Royal Highness, please have a look!"

When Xiao Rui took the letter, he guessed where it came from. It should be the letter from Huang Qilin threatening Yumi Ashikaga. Unexpectedly, Yumi Ashikaga hesitated for these days and chose to take it out instead of giving in.

Opening the letter, the content of the letter was similar to Xiao Rui's guess, saying that Ashikaga Yumi was just a substitute, and if she wanted to save her elder brother, she would look for an opportunity to kill Emperor Xia or the prince.

Of course, there are also things that surprised Xiao Rui, such as Ashikaga Yumi has been unable to conceive, but His Majesty did it on purpose.

Xiao Rui had never thought about this before, but now that he was pointed out, he felt that it was so.

What makes Xiao Rui happy is Ashikaga Yumi's choice, she chose to tell all this, and her choice not only saved herself, but also saved Ashikaga Nobita.I believe His Majesty will treat her better.

Although it is a substitute, but people are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless if they accompany for a long time?

Moreover, Xiao Rui asked Hai Dafu that his mother was similar to Ashikaga Yu in beauty, but had completely different personalities and ways of dealing with the world, so can His Majesty really always regard her as a substitute?

At this time, Ashikaga Yumi said: "Your Highness, the person who sent the letter has arrested my elder brother to blackmail me. The other party may have other schemes. Please be careful, Your Highness."

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Thank you for reminding me, my son, I know!"

Xiahuang at the side said: "Concubine Lan, you step back first."

Ashikaga Yumi nodded, saluted and stepped back.

Afterwards, Emperor Xia took Xiao Rui to the gazebo to sit down and asked, "Have you found the whereabouts of Nobita Ashikaga?"

"My son has already asked Wei Zhongxian to rescue him, and there will be news soon." Xiao Rui replied.

Xia Huang smiled and said: "Huang Qilin is easy to calculate, but she miscalculated Ashikaga Yumi. Although she and Ashikaga Nobita have a deep relationship, some things cannot be done by coercion. Of course, Huang Qilin did not count on Ashikaga Yumi. He's just doing it out of the way."

After a pause, Emperor Xia said with emotion: "The throne is a treasure, and everyone wants to keep it for themselves. If you don't take the throne for a day, those who covet it will not give up. Although I didn't make a decree, I let you supervise the country." It's been a while, and you've done a great job, so I should let you go!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Rui hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands and said: "I dare not!"

Xia Huang smiled and said: "I am old, and I have reached the year of Er Shun. During this period of time, you will supervise the country, and I am very relaxed. I have been on the throne for 26 years. Looking at the successive emperors of Great Xia, it is the second longest. , that’s fine, but don’t be number one, and don’t offend your ancestors. So I’ve made up my mind, and I’m going to abdicate.”

"Father, my son's ability is still insufficient..." Xiao Rui was not surprised, but subconsciously refused.

It was because of the supervision of the country that Xiao Rui knew the difficulty of being an emperor.

"Believe in yourself, don't belittle yourself." Emperor Xia smiled and said, "Only when you become emperor can you change the Great Xia and the world freely. Before I abdicate, there are still a few things that need to be done. Losing the Qi State, if this is the case, the territory of Great Xia will expand just right! More than five thousand miles from north to south, six thousand miles from east to west, the land area has more than doubled. This is the foundation I left for you, and it is also my last pursuit. The great cause of expanding the territory. Second, I want to destroy the Wa Kingdom and take it as the territory of the Great Xia. Once I abdicate, I can’t be the Supreme Emperor in your palace, so I plan to go to the Wa Kingdom, so I will treat it as my own. Let’s take care of the garden that lasts forever. So Ashikaga Nobita can’t stay, kill him. The third thing, before I abdicate, I will clear away the restless factors for you, so that you have no worries.”

"In the middle of next year, I hope to complete these three things, and then it will be the time for you to inherit the throne!"

After finishing speaking, Emperor Xia stood up, stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Rui's shoulder heavily as a sign of encouragement.

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "I understand!"

Emperor Xia laughed loudly, and then told Hai Dafu next to him: "Order the cabinet to announce to the world. From now on, the crown prince will oversee the country and control the six departments of the cabinet. The words of the crown prince will be my words!"

......

Chapter 583: Farewell to Guo Jia!Go deep into the grassland to be a military advisor

Emperor Xia issued an order, and the cabinet drafted an order to announce to the world:

The prince supervised the country and ruled the six cabinets.

As soon as the decree came out, the civil and military officials were not surprised, but it was a matter of course. After all, the prince has long been involved in supervising the country, and now it can only be said to be justified.

However, Xiao Rui's state supervision is different from the state supervision in the traditional sense.

In other countries, the crown prince supervises the country, and when his majesty is unable to handle the state affairs because of his majesty's expedition or illness, the prince will handle the state affairs on his behalf, and the officials of the East Palace are the officials who handle the national government affairs, and use the official document format of the prince system to send documents to the whole country. The six ministers also had to be entrusted with official positions in the East Palace to assist the prince.

As for Xiao Rui's supervision of the country, he directly controls the cabinet and the six ministries, and does not need to use Zhan Shifu officials to handle political affairs. Although he is not the emperor, he exercises the power of the emperor.So all the smart ministers realized that this was a transition before His Majesty abdicated.

After Xiao Rui left the Royal Garden, his agitated heart calmed down.

Ever since Xiao Rui started to deal with state affairs, His Majesty has become less and less enthusiastic about state affairs.Not all emperors like to control the government, Emperor Xia is an exception, and because he has such a mind, Daxia can achieve such achievements.

Xiao Rui returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and immediately ordered Du Shaonian and Hao Yun from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to be summoned.

Fang Xuanling is willing to stay in Daxia to serve, and Xiao Rui will naturally keep his promise, so he needs to attack Yang Feiyuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs.The purpose of calling Du Shaonian and Hao Yun was naturally to investigate Yang Feiyuan.

Yang Feiyuan's ability is not bad, but his status is a limitation. Xiao Rui wants to demote him to be the left servant of the household department, and just give up the position of minister.Therefore, the Metropolitan Procuratorate needs to find a reason for demotion instead of conviction.

After explaining to the two of them, Xiao Rui ordered someone to summon Meng Tianhai, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and asked him to recommend Fang Xuanling tomorrow morning.

In order to win over the people of Zhao State, Da Xia once issued a decree to recognize Zhao State's imperial examination achievements, so Fang Xuanling's achievements are recognized, and he used to be an official, so it is more convenient to be used again.But it can't be too much, and he can't be promoted directly to the Minister of the Ministry of Households, let alone directly enter the cabinet, and a transition is needed.After all, Xiao Rui is not the emperor, it is better not to bypass the cabinet and the Ministry of officials to ask His Majesty to issue an order directly.

In fact, the transition method is very simple, let him enter the Hanlin Academy first.

After arranging this matter, Xiao Rui set his sights on the system, because there was still another chance to descend, Xiao Rui did not hesitate, and immediately began to descend!

"The system is coming, please wait..."

The familiar loading sound sounds, what will happen this time?

.......

The next morning, Meng Tianhai, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Li Mingchong, the chief minister of the cabinet, recommended Fang Xuanling, the former minister of Zhao State, at the same time. Xiao Rui had already mentioned this to His Majesty, and His Majesty would not object, but let Xiao Rui make the decision.

Xiao Rui uttered some official words, as a show, and then entrusted Fang Xuanling with an official position, allowing Fang Xuanling to enter the Imperial Academy as a bachelor.

Bachelor of Imperial Academy?

This official position instantly touched the nerves of all civil and military officials.

"If you are not in the Imperial Academy, you will not enter the cabinet", this popular proverb is not aimless. Looking at several cabinet scholars all have the background of the Imperial Academy, so does Fang Xuanling's entry into the Imperial Academy represent some kind of signal?

Moreover, Meng Tianhai and Li Mingchong recommended it at the same time. If His Highness didn't mean it, no one would believe it!

So after the early dynasty, many officials who didn't know Fang Xuanling began to inquire about his origin, and found out that this person turned out to be a good friend of Mr. Meng. , but a good official with integrity.If Zhao's court was not too dark, this person would be a prime minister.

After finding out Fang Xuanling's background, the civil and military ministers also understood His Highness the Prince's thoughts. This is to lay the groundwork first, and then reassign the old ministers of Zhao Guo. How courageous it is!

In addition, the Minister of Honglu Temple in the early court also reported one thing, that is, a letter from Feiying in Fuzhou in the south, that the Yan State Mission has entered the territory of Daxia and is rushing to Kyoto.

Xiao Rui has already decided to support Yan Country's sweet potato crops. After receiving the reply, Yan Linglong will naturally send someone to discuss immediately, wishing she could fly over with her wings.

Xiao Rui arranged for Honglu Temple Minister to receive him well, and the household department was responsible for the details of the discussion.

After the morning court, Xiao Rui returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and had just sat down when the notification that the arrival was complete suddenly sounded.

"Advent is complete!"

Last time Fang Xuanling came, will Du Ruhui come this time?

Fang Mou made a decision, that was really a smile.
