The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 87: The First Time in Morning Court

Three o'clock in the morning.

It was dark and just when he was sleepy, Wu Zhanfa drove Xiao Rui to the Meridian Gate in a carriage.

Although it is said that he can get up in the middle of the night when he is practicing martial arts, and he doesn't have to sleep all night to chat with beautiful women, but things like going to court really don't arouse Xiao Rui's interest.

Today is the first time for all the princes to go to court, perhaps, this is the only place Xiao Rui can think of having fun.

When they came to the Meridian Gate and got off the carriage, what they saw was a large group of officials in scarlet official uniforms, and officials in blue official uniforms. The early court rules of the Great Xia Kingdom are that Beijing officials of the sixth rank and above go to the early court, so the ranks assigned by the Emperor Xia to the nine princes are all from the fifth rank, which just meets the chance of going to the early court.

The drums of the Meridian Gate Tower have not yet sounded, so the officials are relatively leisurely, chatting in groups of five or three. Due to the joining of the princes, the eldest prince Xiao Lie and the second prince Xiao Yiheng gathered more civil servants and generals, and it was very lively.

While Xiao Rui was observing, Miao Fei came.

Miao Fei cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Your Highness, this is the first time you wake up so early, are you still used to it?"

Xiao Rui said: "If you are not used to it, you have to get used to it. From now on, you can only rest after you rest."

"That's right, state affairs are of the utmost importance. As an official of the Great Xia, one must have the spirit of sacrificing oneself." Miao Fei said righteously.

Xiao Rui stared at him with a smile, if he hadn't found out about him, he would have thought he was a loyal and dedicated minister.

So, the first element of being an official is acting skills.

If you control your acting skills well, Emperor Xia has to applaud you.

"Your Highness, when the drums of the city tower sound, the civil and military officials will line up in front of the Meridian Gate. After a while, someone will lead His Highness to the ranking place. When the palace gate opens, all the officials will enter one by one, cross the Jinshui Bridge and enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Wait in front of the whole team." Miao Fei introduced: "As the supervisory censor, you don't need to line up in front of the hall, but you can walk around and inspect, supervise the appearance of all officials, and if there are reckless ones, you can record them for impeachment. After the sound of the left and right drums, all the officials will enter the palace, and His Highness can supervise the inspection at the back of the palace, and don't disturb the morning activities."

Xiao Rui nodded. The supervisory censor in front of the palace is like a discipline committee member with three stripes hanging on his shoulder when elementary school students raise the national flag.

"Master Miao, I am on duty for the first time, and there are still many things I don't understand. If I find someone in the hall who has seriously misbehaved, can I reprimand him face to face?" Xiao Rui said with a smile. Those who know him well will know that this is a trick conspiracy.

Miao Fei quickly warned: "It is impossible, the early court is an important occasion for His Majesty to deal with state affairs. Although we are all in charge of supervision, it cannot affect the early court. Your Highness only needs to write it down. When you go to the court, you must be ruthless." Zhezi, impeach that guy!"

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "It's too much and you can't stop it with words?"

Miao Fei nodded again and again, and said: "Your Highness is going to court for the first time, so bear with it first, and wait for His Highness to familiarize himself with the rules of the early court, and then see who behaves seriously wrong, and it is not impossible for the court to reprimand."

After finishing speaking, Miao Fei warned again: "Your Highness, I am also thinking of His Highness. If you don't make mistakes in the early stage, after half a month or a month, Your Highness will be able to truly display the majesty of the supervisory censor. I believe that with His Highness' ability, the Manchu Dynasty Civil and military, who is not afraid of you?"

Xiao Rui turned his head to look at Miao Fei. This guy is not only good at acting, but also good at playing tricks.

Miao Fei asked Xiao Rui not to make mistakes in the early stage, because he was afraid that His Majesty would punish the Metropolitan Procuratorate and hold him accountable for Xiao Rui's mistakes, because Xiao Rui was new here, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not explain and explain well if he made mistakes. And he asked Xiao Rui to be brave one month later. At that time, Xiao Rui was already familiar with the rules, and it was his personal business to make mistakes.

This is also the reason why when Miao Fei first met Xiao Rui, he played a little bit of power, and then followed the routine of a good person.

What is unpredictable is always the human heart. Only by grasping his intention can we continue to play.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Thank you Master Miao for imparting experience, don't worry, this king will keep his eyes and ears closed for one month, and after one month, this king will follow the rules and punish those officials who are rude! He even seized the opportunity to scold on the spot, let Father, look at my son's efforts!"

"Your Highness is really smart and hardworking, and has the courage to do great things!" Miao Fei felt relieved and left.

There is still a short time before the palace gate opens.

Not far away from Xiao Rui is Hao Yun, the censor of the left deputy capital. Sure enough, someone sent a mad dog, and no one dared to approach within ten feet.

Coincidentally, when Xiao Rui looked at him, he happened to turn his head and look at Xiao Rui as well.

Xiao Rui returned an aunt's smile, but Hao Yun came over on his own initiative.

"His Royal Highness King Xian." Hao Yun walked over and greeted him with hands clasped.

Xiao Rui was a little curious, this mad dog lord has always been forbidden to enter strangers, and he also does not enter strangers, why did he change his nature and take the initiative to say hello today?

"Master Hao is polite!" Xiao Rui cupped his hands in return.

Unexpectedly, Hao Yun said suddenly: "Yesterday, I heard that His Highness went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Unfortunately, I was requested by Lord Du, so I was not able to receive His Highness. If I was rude, I still looked at Haihan. In addition, Your Highness, please be careful of Lord Miao. Some things catch fire with too much enthusiasm."

Xiao Rui was a little confused, hey, what does Master Hao mean? Are you here to make a good offer, or are you also here to play tricks? Not like him. In addition, Master Du asked him not to welcome him, what does this mean? Is it true, or is it sowing discord?

For a moment, Xiao Rui's mind turned countless times.

Since we can't be sure of Hao Yun's intentions, let's see what happens.

"Master Hao, please don't worry, this king has always been well-behaved and obedient, how could he get angry?" Xiao Rui said with a smile: "It's a pity that I couldn't see Lord Du and Lord Hao yesterday, and I will definitely visit next time."

"Then the morning court is over today, so I will pay a visit to His Highness's palace, how can I make His Highness tired?" Hao Yun grinned suddenly, revealing a stiff smile.

Could it be that his aura of overlord leaked and radiated to Hao Yun, causing him to vote sincerely?

I bother!

I believe it is a narcissist.

So what is Hao Yun's intention?

Xiao Rui said: "Very well, wait for Mr. Hao to visit."

Hao Yun nodded and left immediately.

At this time, the drums of the city tower sounded, and all the civil and military officials began to stand in line.

A guard guided Xiao Rui to stand at the end of the civilian column.

Uh... There are exactly six imperial brothers in front, Xiao Jing and Xiao Yan are behind, and there is no other after that.

Their nine princes are actually at the end?

That's right, from the fifth rank is the lowest level that can go to the early court, and the basic inferior ranks are not eligible, so they will naturally fall to the end.

Behind a group of crimson and cyan official uniforms, nine highnesses in three-clawed golden dragon prince uniforms followed. This picture should not be too beautiful.

The team entered the Meridian Gate, crossed the Jinshui Bridge, and assembled in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Xiao Rui came out and began to supervise the officials.

"Seventh brother, you are so majestic." Xiao Yan, who was at the back, shouted enviously.

"Xiao Zuoguan, please silence your voice and pay attention to your image." Xiao Rui immediately scolded him, took out a pen and ink and a small notebook from his pocket, and wrote down a note.

Xiao Yan was instantly deflated, and honestly rolled his eyes.

Xiao Rui started to stroll, and Miao Fei and several other censors were also patrolling, but they just moved around and kept a low profile. They didn't run to the front to say hello to Li Mingchong, the chief assistant of the cabinet, like Xiao Rui did.

Li Mingchong looked at his eyes, his nose, his nose, and his heart. He thought about owing him a favor, so he smiled back. This smile made a group of generals on the opposite side a little confused. When did Li Shoufu become so enthusiastic?

Xiao Rui was like a disciplinary committee member, he inspected all civil and military officials, and then returned to a corner to stand still.

Miao Fei, who was always paying attention to Xiao Rui, heaved a sigh of relief.

"Hmph, deliberately brushing his existence, he really is an unfavored prince, and he is not afraid of being treated like a monkey by civil and military officials?" Miao Fei sarcastically said.

"Boom..."

At this time, the left and right drums sounded, and the eunuchs in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony sang loudly: "Enter the court~"

Hundreds of officials enter the palace, and the early court begins.
