The system forced me to be emperor

"After the handover, I have already moved into Prince Xian's Mansion." Xiao Rui thanked him and said, "I thank my father for the reward."

Emperor Xia nodded and said with a smile: "You deserve it, you came to see me, probably not to thank you."

Xiao Rui also smiled, and said: "Father, my son has found the traitor Xiao Heding, and he can choose his favorite position independently. Today, I will pay my respects to Father for this matter."

"Oh?" Emperor Xia paused the hand feeding the golden dragon koi, and then counted: "Speak in the pavilion."

The two moved to the gazebo, Hai Dafu ordered someone to bring tea cups.

"Sit down, I want to listen carefully to your plan." Xia Huang said.

Xiao Rui sat down, took Hai Dafu's teapot, and poured tea for Emperor Xia himself.The dense tea fragrance drifted away, and Xiao Rui presented the teacup to Emperor Xia.

"Father, my son wants to work in the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Xiao Rui said.

Emperor Xia drank tea slightly, and then asked: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You can choose where to work, and change to other princes. Isn't the cabinet and the Ministry of Officials a better choice? Do you want to be Qingliu?"

Xiao Rui shook his head, and said: "I want to join the Metropolitan Procuratorate and ask for a position of supervisory censor. I want to supervise the states of Daxia. The authority should be larger, and it should not be limited to a certain state."

"Ok?"

Emperor Xia groaned softly, this time, Xiao Rui's answer was beyond his expectation.

Chapter 82: Emperor Xia and the system are on task at the same time

Emperor Xia put down the teacup and stared at Xiao Rui.

"You want to enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and want to be a supervisory censor? Leave the capital to supervise the states?" Emperor Xia asked repeatedly.

Xiao Rui looked at him calmly, and said: "Yes, father, this is the plan of my son."

Emperor Xia rubbed the crystal teacup with his fingers. His son's thoughts were beyond his expectations. He had thought about the direction of Xiao Rui's job search, and also thought about the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but he did not expect it to be the supervisory censor.

To monitor the state capitals, he had to leave the capital, because Emperor Xia had no intention of letting the prince leave the capital, so he had no idea, even to the prince, the capital city is a place of wind and cloud, once he leaves the capital city, it seems to be giving up automatically. took the position of prince.

Is my son unwilling to be a prince?

not necessarily!

Judging from his recent performance, there is an obvious intention, whether it is to overthrow Xu Xianyang or deal with the Inner Court Secretary, he has not forgotten to let himself know that he is so actively looking for the Night King Xiao Heding to seize the opportunity. So dare to say that he doesn't want to be a prince?

Xia Huang is so smart, he guessed Xiao Rui's thoughts in an instant.

However, it is a good thing to establish a reputation of virtue in the hearts of the people, but there are also great disadvantages in staying away from the capital.

"The candidate for the crown prince is the result of everyone's expectations. I have said that he needs to be witty, intelligent, outstanding, both politically and politically capable, and has both literary and martial virtues. But you must know that what I said is only on the surface, and there are many other conditions. It’s something I didn’t say clearly, just like personal connections.” Emperor Xia seemed to be teaching Xiao Rui intentionally, and it was the first time he said such words: “It’s a good thing for you to monitor the world, plead for the people, and wipe out corrupt officials for the court. But you will also lose the support of the Chinese and military officials of the imperial court. If you don’t manage, how can they support you? Sometimes, no matter how good a person is, if all the civil and military officials oppose you, what’s the use of having the support of the people? ? This is not a troubled time."

Yes, it's not a troubled time, you can't do big things to rise up, and the people live affluent lives, let alone rise up with you.

Xiao Rui nodded solemnly, and replied: "I understand."

"Then you still insist on this?" Emperor Xia was a little puzzled.

Xiao Rui's eyes were firm, and he said: "The time my father said was because the monarch was incompetent and stupid, and he was threatened by civil and military officials! If the monarch is a wise monarch, how can he choose a sociable person instead of a real virtuous one for the selection of the crown prince?" talent?"

The corners of Hai Dafu's eyes twitched, he thought that the Seventh Prince was so talented, he dared to say in front of Emperor Xia that the monarch was incompetent and stupid, amazing!

Xiao Rui paused for a moment, and then said: "So there is no need to worry, my son, because the father is a first-class sage master who works hard to rule!"

The corner of Emperor Xia's mouth was slightly raised when he was patted, indeed, these words touched his heart.Even if all civil and military officials support him, if he is not talented enough, can he be emperor?

Emperor Xia sent these civil and military officials a word, get out!

Let's see who dares to continue!

This is the might of Emperor Xia.

"Why don't you choose the cabinet? I believe that if other princes could choose, they would definitely choose the cabinet." Emperor Xia asked curiously.

Xiao Rui said: "My minister feels that all the affairs of the cabinet are important matters. One should not start too high a level, one should start from the grassroots, understand the sufferings of the people's livelihood, and governing the country is like cooking a small dish. It cannot be decided with a few drafts. Sufficient experience is also needed. If there is no experience, what is drafted is not a good policy for governing the country, but a policy for destroying the country."

Emperor Xia nodded, and finally understood in his heart that the seventh son in front of him was really doing things for the sake of being a prince, rather than seeking to be a prince.

"Okay! I will give you the right to monitor the states and prefectures and counties of Daxia. You have a series of rights to inspect bureaucrats, prison lawsuits, civil affairs, military service, sacrifices, and operations. You are directly responsible for me when you encounter problems, and you don't need to be influenced by others." The censor, deputy capital censor, and Qiandu censor are under the jurisdiction." Emperor Xia said in a deep voice, "But..."

Xiao Rui was smiling, when he was suddenly taken aback by the word "but", he didn't expect anything good!Hey, this is the profoundness of Chinese culture, which is first promoted and then suppressed.

"However, you will have to wait until next year before you can leave the capital." Emperor Xia stated his conditions.

Now it's July, and there are still five months until next year's completion, and Xiao Rui guessed that Emperor Xia must have his own ideas for this request, and more importantly, he has no right to refute.

"My son obeys the order." Xiao Rui immediately got up and bowed to receive the order.

Emperor Xia nodded and said, "Stay flat. Aren't you wondering why I want to keep you until the end of the year?"

Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, and said: "Father has made this decision, and he has deep meaning. My son dare not try to figure out the holy meaning without authorization."

Emperor Xia smiled and said: "It's okay to tell you, the envoys of the Great Yan Kingdom have already arrived at the border between the two countries, and will enter Beijing in just over a month. This trip, Princess Linglong of the Great Yan Kingdom is personally here."

Xiao Rui blinked, but didn't understand what was going on.

Suddenly, he remembered what his third elder brother Xiao Ze had reminded him, that the Great Yan Kingdom wanted to form an alliance with the Great Xia Kingdom, and this time he came here, nothing more than a marriage or a proton exchange!

"The Great Yan Kingdom sent Princess Linglong here in person, which shows that it attaches great importance to the friendship between the two countries. It's better that my ministers don't need to know about such important national affairs." Xiao Rui hurriedly separated the relationship.

Emperor Xia said: "Originally, I wanted King Xiao Lie of Jin to be in charge of entertaining the envoys of Dayan, so as to show that I value them. Now I have decided that you will be in charge of the reception. You must not lose the face of Daxia."

The corners of Xiao Rui's mouth twitched, and he said hastily: "Father, my elder brother Xiao Lie has a stable personality, a noble personality, and is also the eldest prince. It is very suitable to entertain the only Princess Linglong of the Great Yan Kingdom. My son's ability is superficial, and he is afraid of making mistakes. It will damage Daxia's face and embarrass my father."

Unexpectedly, just after Xiao Rui finished speaking, the unsociable notification sounded in his mind again.

"Ding dong... New missions are open."

"New task: agree to Emperor Xia's task arrangement, and receive the envoys of the Great Yan Kingdom. After completing the Advent Value +10, dare to refuse, the host heard that the lack of a kidney will not affect the function, why don't you give it a try?"

Hey!

System, are you Emperor Xia's younger brother?

Xiao Rui gave the system a middle finger.

So without waiting for Emperor Xia to speak, Xiao Rui's style of painting quickly changed, and he said with righteous words: "So I must study hard and devote myself to studying like my elder brother. While there is still time, I will improve my ability and character, and work hard. Complete the tasks assigned by the father, guarantee not to embarrass the father, guarantee the prestige of the Great Xia, and let the Great Yan see the true colors of the Great Xia."

Emperor Xia blinked, he knew that Xiao Rui would not agree, and he would refuse in every possible way.But I didn't expect to play a game of suppressing first and then rising, and actually took up this task. This kid's idea is really weird.

"Since you agree, let's wait for the order." Emperor Xia nodded.

With a sad face, Xiao Rui squeezed out a very sad smile.
