The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Zhuge Liuying came back safely, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they reminded Xiao Rui that they must strengthen their defenses and protect the people around them. If they can kidnap Liuying this time, they will be able to kidnap other people. Wouldn't it be troublesome to assassinate Jia Xu and Guo Jia all the time?

This is all the result of Xiao Rui's hard work on the mission, it's not Chinese cabbage, you can do it if you want, and everyone can't have an accident.

Fortunately, this time the crisis was passed without any danger, and the task was also completed.

It was a surprise.

"Ding dong... Once the task is completed, the descending value will be +10."

"Ding dong... Task 3 is completed, and the descending value is +40."

"The current descending value is 110/100, and the wish value is 3/4. Do you want to enable descending?"

Xiao Rui did not immediately start the descent.

As counselors, there are Jia Xu and Guo Jia. When I leave the capital, Jia Xu must stay. It is impossible not to keep people in the capital for planning, so I can only take Guo Jia to leave the capital, but Guo Jia is enough Now, Guo Jia's intelligence is not inferior to Jia Xu, so there is no shortage of counselors for the time being.

In terms of weapons or items, Xiao Rui didn't have any urgent needs.

Then there are only fierce generals left, and there is indeed a lack of masters around him.

Wu Zhanfa and Wei Guang stayed in Huben Pavilion, which was a secret base, and there was nothing to lose. Li Kui still needs to protect Jia Xu, so the only person who can follow him to leave the capital is Li Yuanfang. Although Yuanfang is a top five expert, if he encounters another attack from Zhao Guo's Nine Yin Forbidden Army, he will be no match for him.

It's a pity that I am not good at martial arts, and I am still stuck in the second rank, which feels very embarrassing.

"It would be great if someone with high martial arts skills came this time." Xiao Rui couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

It's a pity that the wish value is only 3/4, and you can't make a wish, so you can only resign yourself to fate when you come.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later." Xiao Rui lost interest for a while, so he was not in a hurry to start the advent.

The next day, continue to work hard to go to the morning court.

The examination was successfully concluded yesterday, so His Majesty praised Zhou Mingwen early.

Zhou Mingwen naturally praised His Majesty's divine protection, and he was full of flattery, but the cracked arc at the corner of his mouth showed his inner joy.

It is a great honor to be the chief examiner. Feng Gongxian, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, is already old, and I am afraid that he will not be able to compete for the position of Minister of Rites in the future. Then he has no competitors. As long as he earns enough merits, he can skyrocket. As long as he sits as Minister of Rites, he will definitely enter the cabinet , became one of the best people in the Great Xia court.

So, can he be unhappy?

Xiao Yiheng is also happy, he is a person who is in good spirits on happy occasions, not only has heirs and successors, but also his own advantages are becoming more and more obvious, how can he not be happy?

Xiao Jing was also very happy, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

He had already received rumors that there was a case of cheating in the imperial examination this time, and he had already contacted the eldest prince Xiao Lie, and the two of them agreed to investigate, if the rumor was true, hehe, it would be wonderful.

Xiao Rui is also very happy. It is the happiest thing to see you guys fighting with each other.

From this point of view, everyone is happy, but unfortunately...

His Majesty is not happy.

Near the end of the morning court, Emperor Xia focused on one thing, which made everyone's expressions change.

"Yesterday, Huainan Mansion sent urgent information. An earthquake occurred fifty miles north of Huainan Mansion in the early hours of yesterday. Open warehouses for disaster relief, but the disaster is serious, and I am very worried."

Yang Feiyuan, Minister of the Household Department and a college student of the Wuying Hall, came out and said: "Your Majesty, opening warehouses to relieve the urgent need can only solve the urgent need. When the ground is shaken, the fertile fields will be destroyed, the river will be flooded, and the houses will collapse. I implore Your Majesty to reduce all corvee taxes for the three prefectures exempted from disasters within three years."

"Quite." Emperor Xia nodded.

Li Mingyang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, said again: "Your Majesty, I beg you to allocate relief silver from the Ministry of Household Affairs to support the disaster-stricken areas, so as to relieve the grief of the people, and to show your majesty's great grace."

Emperor Xia agreed: "What Aiqing said is very true, and it will be followed. The cabinet will draw up an order, and the Ministry of Households will allocate silver taels as soon as possible."

Li Mingyang said again: "Your Majesty, in order to better appease the hearts of the people and minimize the impact of the disaster, I suggest that a governor be appointed as an imperial envoy to supervise the disaster relief situation for His Majesty, to coordinate everything from the overall situation, and to deter the local government. Officials, avoid such bad things as poor performance or even corruption."

Emperor Xia nodded, and glanced at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Some officials lowered their heads subconsciously. This is not a good job. Who wants to go to the place of the earthquake? It's better now that it's early spring. If it's hot, the plague is easy to break out in that kind of place. Secondly, the disaster areas are full of refugees. If one is not handled well, the refugees will cause mutiny. Although the Ministry of Households opened the national treasury and took out the money for disaster relief, but His Majesty's eyes are staring, and he can't be greedy, he can only hug a little cheap, and go there so hard, the gain is not worth the loss.

Moreover, this kind of errand is thankless, and it should be done well. If it can't be done well, it means that the ability is not good.

Emperor Xia glanced at the ministers, and continued to ask: "Dear dear ministers, is there anyone who would like to recommend himself?"

"My minister is willing to go!" Suddenly, Hao Yun, the censor of the left deputy capital, came out.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate was originally responsible for monitoring the world, and now he is temporarily in charge of the Yushi of Youdu, so he can naturally recommend himself.

"The minister is also willing to go!" Several senior scholars from the cabinet also came out one after another.

"My minister is also willing to go!" Song Ci, the newly appointed left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, also came out.

"Wei Chen is willing to go!"

Although there are slippery officials in the Great Xia court, there is no shortage of loyal and conscientious officials.

However, the princes remained silent, and none of them took the lead. Not all of them wanted to leave the capital like Xiao Rui did.

As for His Majesty, he didn't speak, and seemed to be waiting.

Xiao Rui moved.

He started to walk out, there are some things that cannot be hidden, Xiao Rui dare not say how noble he is, how capable he is, or how compassionate he is to save the world, he just thinks that if he can do something for the people in the disaster area and save more people, Doing what you can is the right thing to do.

I don't have the ability to protect the world's poor and happy, but I also have an eight-foot body and can carry some disasters!

What Xiao Rui didn't expect was that just as he walked into the palace, the third prince, Xiao Ze, had already appeared: "Father, my sons are willing to go to the disaster area to show the great grace of the emperor and help the victims."

A smile appeared on Emperor Xia's calm face, and he nodded slightly. Of course, he also saw Xiao Rui who had already walked out but was unable to speak.

"Xian Wang, do you have something to say?" Emperor Xia asked.

All the civil and military officials in the hall turned their heads one after another, and saw Xiao Rui who had come out at the end.

Xiao Rui could only cup his hands and said, "Your Majesty, my son is also willing to learn from the third brother, King Wu, and go to the disaster area!"

"Very good! You two brothers have a heart. But the king of Wu asks for orders first, and then the important task of disaster relief will be entrusted to him." After Xia Huang finished speaking, his tone suddenly increased by three points: "As the prince of Daxia, I should The world is my own responsibility, not limited to the three inches of the capital. The prince I want to choose must be responsible, not opportunistic. Be moral, not be indifferent. Have courage, not be timid .Be measured, know what to do, what not to do, what must be done!"

Serious voices filled the Golden Palace, and the hearts of the other princes trembled. They were thinking about the gains and losses of the crown prince, so they were a few beats slower, which actually angered His Majesty.

"My son is guilty." The eldest princes Xiao Lie, Xiao Yiheng, Xiao Feng, Xiao Jing, and Xiao Yan all knelt down and admitted their mistakes.

Emperor Xia didn't punish, waved his hand, and said: "Get up, from now on, I will give you a chance to take on important responsibilities. This is the first time, and it will definitely not be the last time. King Wu, please help the victims!"

"I understand!" Xiao Ze solemnly replied.

Emperor Xia nodded, got up and left, and said: "Let's retreat."

All civil and military officials retreated one after another, Xiao Rui deliberately slowed down, he needed to go to the library and return the key. It's just that I didn't expect that Xiao Rui was invited by an accompanying eunuch to meet the saint in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the third prince Xiao Ze was accompanying him.

"Third brother, why does the emperor want us?" Xiao Rui followed him and asked.

Xiao Ze shook his head and said, "I don't know either, it must have something to do with the disaster."

Xiao Rui nodded and didn't ask any more questions. The two came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Emperor Xia pointed to the seat, and the two sat down with their hands together. Xia Huang smiled and said: "Disasters are merciless, and people are merciful. I am very pleased that you two care about the people in your heart. Xiaosan, the task of going to the disaster area is arduous, and the first task is to save people." , secondly to appease the sad emotions of the people, and then rectify the disaster situation, disaster relief is like putting out a fire, and at the same time it is a test of ability, which is far more difficult than if you were an assistant officer in the Ministry of Punishment."

"I understand that I will do my best to minimize the impact of the disaster. I am ready to go to the morning court, so I will rush there immediately and ask my father for permission." Xiao Ze said respectfully.

Emperor Xia nodded, and said: "Very good, I agree. Then you should step back first, go back and prepare, and leave after the cabinet draws up an order. Bring more guards to protect yourself."

Xiao Ze bowed his hands and retreated.

Emperor Xia shifted his gaze to Xiao Rui, and asked, "Do you know why I left you here?"

"Could it be that you want to reward my minister?" How could Xiao Rui know Emperor Xia's intentions, so he naturally had to guess.

"Reward?" Emperor Xia sighed, and said: "Xiao Qi, you are still a prince, don't be so shameless at every turn, what achievements have you made, worthy of my reward?"

Xiao Rui chuckled, and said: "Bamboo paper and clay calligraphy are progressing rapidly, and it will be effective in a few days. This is the task entrusted to my son by the emperor. Now that my son is doing beautifully, I am naturally qualified to reward it." ah."

"Oh? Bamboo paper and clay calligraphy are almost finished? Very good, very good, I will spend all day urging you, otherwise I don't know how long it will take to get it done." Emperor Xia couldn't help but sarcastically said.

Xiao Rui:

Is he really his own?

After Xia Huang made a joke, he glanced at Hai Dafu, who hurried to Xiao Rui, and presented Xiao Rui with a roster and a stack of portraits.
