The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Xiao Rui has always respected the system.

Well, this is a deliberate fawning.

But to be honest, although the tasks assigned by the system are sometimes deceptive, they are basically not harmful. In the end, there is always a deep meaning behind it, directly or indirectly pushing, rushing, and whipping Xiao Rui to go up .

As for what is above? The position of prince? throne? Or a more powerful position, all promoting Xiao Rui's growth.

So Xiao Rui can believe that it is also a process of upward struggle for the system to let him find the Night King.

Just when Xiao Rui was thinking about investigating "Grilled Chicken", a command suddenly came from the palace, ordering Xiao Rui to enter the palace to face the saint.

After entering the palace, I learned that not only Xiao Rui entered the palace, but also several other princes.

This was the second convening of all the princes since Emperor Xia's birthday, and the time interval was only a few days. I believe that not only Xiao Rui thinks about it, but the other princes also keep thinking about it.

What does the emperor want to do? After all, the date of the birthday was pointed out, and the position of the crown prince lived there. This entry into the palace should not be about the succession of the position of the crown prince.

Everyone came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation with a restless mood.

Emperor Xia seated the nine princes, and then cut to the point very straightforwardly.

"I've been annoyed by one thing recently, but I can't investigate it with great fanfare. Dongchang and Jinyiwei each have their own tasks, so I want you guys to share my worries." Emperor Xia laughed.

When the princes heard this, their hearts immediately surged.

Sharing worries for Emperor Xia is the time to show their abilities, and they are naturally eager.

"I don't know what troubled my father, but I am willing to share my worries with my heart." The eldest prince Xiao Lie said solemnly.

"My son is also willing to share his father's worries." The other princes stood up and responded one after another.

Emperor Xia smiled and said: "I am very pleased with your filial piety. You all know the situation about Xu Xianyang, but Xu Xianyang hanged himself in prison last night. know this."

"What?" Xiao Rui was shocked.

He only met Xu Xianyang yesterday afternoon, and committed suicide that night, how could it be possible! Xiao Rui absolutely did not believe that he would commit suicide, so how did he die? was killed? Who killed it? Who can enter the East Factory death row and kill people?

Xiao Rui was full of doubts.

But the other princes were not surprised.

"Father, Xu Xianyang deserves to be punished for his crimes, and committing suicide to subdue the law is considered cheap for him." The second prince Xiao Yiheng said coldly.

Emperor Xia smiled and said: "He was ashamed of me, he apologized himself, and left his whole body. But the rebel incident troubled me, so I called you into the palace to help me track down the rebel leader Xiao Heding. I got reliable information , Xiao Heding is currently in the capital! Who can find him for me, I can promise him that when he arranges corresponding positions for you, he can choose at will from the six ministries, temples and yamen."

Several princes were overjoyed.

Among all the government offices in the capital, except for the cabinet, there are six. Although the six ministries are equally ranked, the Ministry of Officials is recognized as the boss. It is in charge of the appointment and dismissal, examinations, promotions, honors, and transfers of civil officials in the world. Therefore, serving in the Ministry of Officials is the most beneficial to the competition for the crown prince.

Xiao Rui was a little surprised, he didn't expect the system to issue a task to himself one step earlier than Emperor Xia, and he had already obtained clues ahead of the other princes, ranking first.

Haha... Sure enough, the system can only deceive people, not harm them.

However, what Emperor Xia said next made Xiao Rui depressed.

"Of course, I also understand that it is really embarrassing for you to investigate without any clues. Fortunately, Dongchang secretly found some clues and gave them to you. Whoever can find the traitor Xiao Heding depends on your own means." Xia Xia Huang laughed.

After Emperor Xia finished speaking, Hai Dafu brought nine documents and distributed them to the nine princes one by one.

Xiao Rui took the documents, and the nine of them quit the palace.

On the way back, Xiao Yan ran over and asked, "Seventh brother, what is the intention of the father? Why did you ask us to find someone?"

"This is also a kind of test." Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Perhaps from now on, the emperor will observe our performance, whoever has the ability will be able to inherit the rule."

"It's so troublesome, I don't want to be the prince, can I not participate?" Xiao Yan muttered.

Xiao Rui paused, looked at him and asked, "Really don't want to be a prince? Will he be the king of a country in the future? Who wouldn't be jealous?"

Xiao Yan smiled and said: "Seventh brother, you should be the prince."

"I don't have such ability." Xiao Rui denied.

"Pretend it." Xiao Yan snorted, "Isn't Father forcing us brothers to have a gap, or even kill each other?"

Xiao Rui thought of what Jia Xu said, Emperor Xia was raising Gu.

"Xiao Jiu, in the royal family, you should have such an awareness long ago." Xiao Rui warned: "I think the father did the right thing. We brothers, whoever is capable will be the prince. With this secret fight, It’s better to look at the ability on the bright side. This avoids the true sense of brotherhood, and from another perspective, this is the prince whose father’s protection ability is low.”

Xiao Yan was taken aback for a moment, but then he understood.

It seems like raising Gu, but under the control of Emperor Xia, the prince who loses is because of his ability, so he can avoid killing him secretly, because he knows that Emperor Xia is watching, and he has taboos, so he dare not do too much. No matter how merciful Emperor Xia was, he would never choose a man who murdered his brother to be the crown prince.

If you dare to kill your brother, you will kill your father someday if you don't keep it together!

"Then Seventh Brother, how did we find Xiao Heding?" Xiao Yan asked.

Xiao Rui glared at him, and said, "Find out your own way, we are in a competitive relationship now!"

Xiao Yan grumbled, and pulled Xiao Rui's sleeve, scaring Xiao Rui away.

Outside the imperial city, Gao Quan was waiting in his carriage.

After getting into the carriage, Xiao Rui opened the information given by Hai Dafu.

The content of the information is very complicated, including Xiao Heding's age and appearance introduction. He is over seventy years old, and there is a mole on the left eyebrow near the temple, which has become the most obvious feature in appearance.

Dongchang found his whereabouts in Dongfang City, and he escaped when he was chasing him, so the Jinyiwei sent people to closely investigate the people who left the city at each gate, but they did not find him leaving the city, so it is speculated that he is still in the city.

The Dongchang personnel tracked down that Xiao Heding seemed to be related to a secret organization called the Black Lotus Sect in the capital, because when he was being hunted down, he fled into the stronghold of the Black Lotus Sect and disappeared.

Although Dongchang arrested all the members of the Black Lotus Sect in that stronghold, they were all interrogated to no avail. In order to avoid the impact, Dongchang released people and prepared to investigate secretly.

It's just that I didn't expect that now Emperor Xia handed over the investigation to the nine princes.

It is believed that the investigation targets of the next eight princes will all focus on the Black Lotus Sect.

This Black Lotus Sect is also described in the materials.

Great Xia has no state religion, because Emperor Xia does not believe in Buddhism, nor does he believe in it. But the people need spiritual sustenance. When the country is rich and the people are strong, Buddhism and Taoism are easy to prosper.

The Black Lotus Sect worships the Black Lotus Saint, who is said to be one of the two great Saints under the Buddha's throne. The White Lotus Saint is responsible for life, and the Black Lotus Saint is responsible for death. The Black Lotus Sect respects the saint of the Black Lotus, and prays that he will not suffer from reincarnation after death and will not go to hell.

This spiritual worship has attracted many people, both the poor and the powerful, and it is one of the more active religions near Gyeonggi.

However, after Dongchang investigated the Black Lotus Sect, they found that their gatherings to pray for blessings are normal, and they have existed for a long time. The government has not classified it as an evil religion, and naturally it has not been suppressed and banned.

Holding the information, Xiao Rui fell into a dilemma.

Did he follow the clues of "braised chicken" provided by Xu Xianyang, or start with the Black Lotus Sect?

What puzzled him most was Emperor Xia's intention and why did Xu Xianyang commit suicide?

ps: 100,000 words, although I have not received a recommendation from the website, but I think good things are coming! I am working hard to code and save manuscripts. Hey, for the sake of new book recommendations, I can't let go of my hands and feet. It's really a pain.

Am I too shameless?

No way, this is the advantage.

Continue to ask for favorites, recommendation tickets, just give a reward, it’s well written, of course, I understand (I understand this even if I’m shameless).

come on!
