The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

After Xiao Rui finished his riding and archery class, he was stopped by the eunuchs in the palace as soon as he came out of the school grounds.

Behind the eunuch, the eunuch was followed by two guards from the Imperial Forest Army, instead of an entourage. This scene made everyone else pause.

"Your Highness, this servant is following His Majesty's instructions to invite Your Highness to enter the palace." The servant eunuch smiled.

Xiao Rui frowned, seeing that his posture was not simple, so he asked: "I will follow you into the palace after I change my clothes."

Unexpectedly, the servant eunuch stopped the way and said with a smile: "Your Majesty ordered you to enter the palace immediately without delay."

"What's the big deal, I don't have time to change clothes?" Xiao Rui asked: "Look at me, I'm covered in sweat, it's disrespectful to meet His Majesty like this. I can bear it, can you?"

Xiao Yan ran over and shouted: "You son of a bitch, rely on my father's oral instructions to show off your might. My Highness suspects that you are falsely passing on oral instructions."

The eunuch bowed and said: "Your Highness Ninth, this servant doesn't have the guts to pass on a false word. Now that His Majesty and the King of Zhou are waiting in the palace, this servant is afraid that it will be too late. It will displease His Majesty and it will not be good for His Highness."

"King Zhou?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Xiao Jing also came over and asked, "Is it the Zong Ling of the Clan Mansion?"

"Yes, Your Highness the Eighth Highness." The eunuch, the servant, said more respectfully.

Xiao Jing looked at Xiao Rui, although he didn't ask, his eyes were full of inquiries: Brother Seven, what did you do to get involved in the clan's residence?

Xiao Rui was also depressed, but then, he thought of Xu Xianyang.

"Go, enter the palace." Xiao Rui entered the palace immediately without changing his clothes.

"Seventh Brother, I'll accompany you." Xiao Yan yelled, but Xiao Rui stopped him.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "It's okay, the emperor called me into the palace, it means that the situation is not serious, otherwise, he would have ordered the clan mansion to lead the imperial army to arrest people, besides, I am not afraid of the shadow, what are you talking about?" , entering the palace will add to the chaos."

"Alright then." Xiao Yan finally gave up.

Afterwards, Xiao Rui entered the palace with the servant and eunuch.

After entering the palace, Xiao Rui was led into the Hall of Mental Cultivation by the eunuch.

"I pay my respects to my father and my uncle." Xiao Rui saluted Emperor Xia and Xiao Mingying.

Emperor Xia nodded, looked at his uniform, and said, "Are you taking riding and archery lessons?"

Xiao Rui said: "Yes, my father, my son is practicing riding and shooting. My son pleaded guilty, and after receiving my father's order, I hurried over. I was negligent for a while and didn't change into neat clothes. This is a crime of disrespect. Please punish my father." .”

Take the initiative to plead guilty and avoid being played by the censor.

Emperor Xia smiled and said: "The incident happened suddenly, and it is reasonable to have no time to change clothes. I forgive you for your innocence. I have summoned you because I need you to state something in person. King Zhou, please tell me."

Xiao Mingying got up, then looked at Xiao Rui, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness Seventh, I received a report this morning, saying that you secretly hid witchcraft dolls and cursed your majesty."

"What?" Xiao Rui was a little confused, then smiled and said: "Witch Gu doll? Uncle Emperor, this is purely a frame-up."

Xiao Mingying continued: "So after the king presented himself to His Majesty, he sent people to Prince Duan's mansion, and sure enough, a doll was found from your house! What else do you have to say?"

"Let me tell you? This is obviously a false accusation. It was found out in my room that I did it. This is not physical evidence at all." Xiao Rui laughed. : "I also ask my father to enlighten me."

The witch puppet is indeed a means of framing the prince. After all, cursing the current emperor to die early is bound to offend the emperor. Xiao Rui also suspected that it was Xu Xianyang's method, but he played this conspiracy, and it was obvious that it was a conspiracy. Emperor Xia was not stupid, so why did he still do this?

Disgusting yourself?

No, Xiao Rui believes that this is a warning.

At this time, Emperor Xia nodded and said: "Just one looted puppet is indeed not evidence. But, why didn't it be found in the rooms of other princes? This is worthy of attention. Ruier, you usually live in a shallow place. Why did you get framed because you have little contact with foreign ministers? Besides, you said it was a framed frame, but do you have any evidence to prove your innocence?"

Hearing these words, Xiao Rui raised his head to look at Emperor Xia, only to find that the corner of his mouth was smiling, which was weird and unpredictable.

But he didn't mean to be angry.

Xiao Rui replied: "Father, can I show my servant the witch doll?"

Emperor Xia nodded, and ordered Eunuch Hai to present the witch doll to him.

Looking at the puppet on the tray, it has a big palm, a male figure made of cloth, wearing a dragon robe, and a piece of yellow paper with the length of a human being pasted on his body. The name and birth date of Emperor Xia are written in cinnabar, and the limbs and forehead are still intact. Insert the silver needle.

When Xiao Rui saw it, he immediately smiled.

"Rui'er, have you found evidence to prove yourself?" Emperor Xia asked with a smile.

Xiao Rui narrowed his eyes slightly, his thinking was active, and he cupped his fists suddenly and said: "I am incompetent, no evidence has been found. I am willing to go back to the clan's residence for investigation."

"Um?"

Everyone in the hall was shocked.

Xiao Mingying said: "Xiao Rui, you have to think clearly, once you enter the clan's mansion, it's not easy to figure it out. Even if you are innocent, you can't stop Youyou from guessing."

"My son said it was a frame-up, but unfortunately there is no reason to prove his innocence. Just like what my father said, if it was a frame-up, why didn't I frame up other princes instead of me? So my son is willing to go back to the clan's residence and accept any investigation." Xiao Rui said firmly.

"You, confused..." Xiao Mingying said angrily.

Emperor Xia stared at Xiao Rui, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then said: "In this case, let the clan's government investigate."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiao Mingying could only accept the order.

Xiao Rui obediently followed Xiao Mingying out of the hall.

Emperor Xia picked up a memorial for review, then put it down, looked up at Xiao Rui's leaving back, smiled and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, the Department of Jinyi is here to report that His Highness the Seventh Prince is currently investigating a murder case at the hunting ground." Eunuch Hai suddenly mentioned this matter.

Emperor Xia drank a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Even I missed it, this little guy is hiding something."

"Your Majesty, His Majesty the Seventh Highness can clearly prove his innocence regarding the matter of witchcraft and dolls, why?" Duke Hai said surprisingly.

Xia Huang smiled and said: "This is also what I find interesting. It seems that this kid wants to make use of the problem and see how he tosses."

"Yes." Eunuch Hai said respectfully.

Suddenly, Emperor Xia covered his chest and coughed violently.

"Your Majesty, do you want to call the imperial doctor?" Eunuch Hai hurriedly supported him and asked.

Emperor Xia shook his hand, and it took him a while to calm down.

"It's okay, Xiao Rui, Xiao Jing, and Xiao Yan are all grown up, and it's time to open a residence." Emperor Xia said leisurely.

Eunuch Hai didn't dare to say more.

Emperor Xia continued to ask: "Among the nine princes, who do you say can inherit the great line?"

Eunuch Hai remained silent, not daring to speak nonsense.

"I am no longer able to expand the territory and unify China. The Great Qi Kingdom is becoming more and more prosperous, and the Great Yan Kingdom is also flourishing. The Great Xia Kingdom does not need a conservative monarch, but an emperor who can lead the world!" Emperor Xia murmured mumbling to himself.

Eunuch Hai rarely saw Emperor Xia look like this.

The former emperor is old, and the years are hesitating.

At the same time, Xiao Rui followed Xiao Mingying into the clan mansion.

In less than half a day, the news spread throughout the capital.
