The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Early the next morning, the morning court proceeded as usual.

Emperor Xia sat on the dragon chair and glanced at the civil and military officials, and suddenly found that the position headed to the left was empty. This is the position of the crown prince. Where is the crown prince?

"Where is the prince? Why didn't you come today?" Emperor Xia asked curiously.

The civil and military officials were also puzzled.

At this time, Zhuge Yuanba came out and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, just now the guards of the East Palace led Li Yuanfang to report, His Highness suddenly contracted an illness yesterday, and now he is bedridden, so he cannot attend the morning court."

"Being bedridden? Is it so serious?" Emperor Xia asked anxiously.

Zhuge Yuanba said: "General Li said that His Highness has been in a coma. Yesterday the imperial physicians failed to diagnose and treat him, so he went out of the palace to invite Hua Tuo, but even Hua Tuo didn't know the cause of the disease, so he could only boil some herbs for clearing away heat and detoxification. Your Highness took it at night. After taking the medicine, the symptoms eased, so I didn't bother His Majesty."

Emperor Xia nodded and said puzzledly: "The crown prince is also a martial arts practitioner, how could he suddenly get sick? Let's discuss matters first, and I will visit after the discussion."

In this way, the early morning continued.

Half an hour later, the morning court ended, all civil and military officials withdrew from the court, and Emperor Xia also arranged for the East Palace.

At this time, Lu Su held a jade pendant in her hand, which was her personal jade pendant, but when she exchanged identities with Lu Zhi last time, this jade pendant was placed with her sister. This morning, a guard of the Imperial Army ordered a maid from the Eastern Palace to deliver it to Lu Su without saying anything. But Lu Su knew that this was a threat to her sister, so don't hesitate.

Lu Su felt very lucky, if she hadn't switched identities with her sister, then her sister would probably assassinate Emperor Xia for her own sake, and even if she survived, she would be a sinner.

"Sister, don't worry, I will be able to rescue you this time!" Lu Su held the jade pendant tightly.

Not long after, His Majesty's guard of honor arrived at the gate of the East Palace, and then His Majesty entered the East Palace to visit the sick crown prince.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and no one knew what happened in the East Palace.

But suddenly, Li Yuanfang and Dian Wei rushed out, ordered the prince's personal guards to block the gate of the East Palace, and then they ran away.

Not long after, Zhuge Yuanba and Dian Wei rushed over, and they entered the East Palace. After a while, Li Yuanfang invited Li Mingchong, a cabinet scholar!

The imperial guards in charge of guarding outside the East Palace were curious about what happened in the East Palace, and they even invited all the imperial guards and cabinet scholars here.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhuge Yuanba's expression turned serious, and he left the East Palace in a hurry. After returning to his official office, he immediately summoned the six imperial guards!

There were twelve guards in the former Great Xia Imperial Army, namely the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right waiting guards, and the left and right imperial guards.

Let me say a few more words here. At the earliest time, the military system of the Great Xia was established, and the twelve guards led the soldiers and horses in the world. But later, the Great Xia changed the military system and established the Five Army Commander’s Mansion, which replaced the role of the twelve guards. The Twelve Guards only became the army to protect the emperor and the palace. Naturally, the establishment was also reduced.

Up to now, Emperor Xia has integrated the twelve guards into six guards, which are Yi Wei, Xiao Wei, Wu Wei, Tun Wei, Hou Wei and Jin Yi Wei. The six guards are in charge of the commander.

At this moment, when Zhuge Yuanba returned to the official office, he immediately summoned six commanders, and conveyed His Majesty's oral order, ordering the six guards to increase their manpower to strictly guard the gates of the palace city, and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving. . Unless you have His Majesty's handbook. At the same time, the defense of the city gate of Kyoto will be strengthened, waiting for further orders.

In fact, everyone understands that the further order is to block the gates of Kyoto!

What happened to seriously block the city gate? The commander of the six guards was puzzled and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Zhang Yu was in charge of Jinyiwei, he asked curiously: "My lord, what happened in the palace?"

Zhuge Yuanba glanced at him and said coldly, "Don't ask if you shouldn't!"

Zhang Yu was devastated in an instant. He and Zhuge Yuanba were personal friends. Now Zhuge Yuanba scolded him in front of his colleagues and didn't give him face. Although Zhang Yu was a little angry, he realized that something big had happened.

"Action!" After Zhuge Yuanba arranged the mission, he immediately left the palace and rushed to the patrol camp to meet Zhongyonghou Zhang Jinfu. No one knew what Zhuge Yuanba talked about after seeing Zhang Jinfu, but after Zhuge Yuanba left, Zhang Jinfu immediately summoned all the generals of the patrol battalion to raise their vigilance and increase street patrols.

And Li Yuanfang went out to invite King Zhou Xiao Mingying not long after Zhuge Yuanba left the East Palace!

There are only two old princes alive now, one is Zhou Wang Xiao Mingying, who is the head of the clan's mansion, and he is the oldest and senior of the royal family. The second is Xiao Hanhai, another prince, but he is not in good health. His Majesty has ordered him to go to Yangzhou for the elderly, and he is no longer in the capital.

After Li Yuanfang begged to see Xiao Mingying, he did not explain the reason, but only said that His Majesty called him urgently to invite him into the palace. Xiao Mingying was puzzled, why did His Majesty send the prince's personal guards to pass it on urgently, and seeing his anxious face, there must be something big.

So Xiao Mingying quickly entered the palace.

And all that happened, whether it was Zhuge Yuanba summoning the six guards or going to the patrol camp, or Li Yuanfang going to invite Xiao Mingying, were all seen by the secret people.

When they saw Xiao Mingying enter the palace, the people in the dark knew that Lu Zhi had already assassinated Emperor Xia! Now the chief assistant of the cabinet and the old prince are both in the palace, one is the chief minister and the other is the elder of the royal family. Once something happens to Emperor Xia, the two will be in charge of the overall situation.

Well, now we have to confirm whether Emperor Xia is dead or not!

Then what is the situation in the East Palace at this time?

Xiao Rui, who was supposed to be in a coma, has come to his senses, and is fighting the landlord with His Majesty and Hai Dafu!

This time the game was three players fighting the landlord, and it was for money, Xiao Rui and Xia Huang had a great time playing, but Hai Dafu was terrified, the bet was too big, he had already lost several times, the coffin had already bottomed out.

This is the fate of offending the prince! Playing with yourself every minute, the tricks are all poisonous tricks! Don't beat you or scold you, just toss your money to see if you feel bad or not.

If he can do it all over again, Hai Dafu chooses to be a novice, and he can pretend to be a fool and be scolded by His Majesty, as long as he does not offend His Highness the Crown Prince.

Xiao Rui didn't care about Hai Dafu's psychological description. His Majesty was the landlord in this game, and there were only three cards left. Xiao Rui played a three, which was a shameful act of releasing water. Hai Dafu's heart trembled, knowing that he had lost this game again.

"Father, is it appropriate to invite the emperor's uncle?" Xiao Rui couldn't help asking.

Emperor Xia saw that it was three, he was overjoyed! Quickly beat Si out, so that he won for sure, and then said: "If you want to perform the trick well, you must invite King Zhou. He is the oldest person in the royal family. If the emperor and the prince have an accident, you must invite him He is in charge of the overall situation, and if he is not invited, it will cause the suspicion of the secret messenger. I know your worries, but King Zhou can believe it, and I can firmly believe in this point!"

Xiao Rui nodded. Since His Majesty has said so, he must believe it, and he can't just trust no one and doubt everyone, which is easier to leak.

the other side.

After Xiao Mingying entered the palace, he realized that the defense of the palace was strengthened, and His Majesty's order was required to enter and exit, which made him even more nervous. When he came to the East Palace, he saw that the East Palace was completely sealed off, and he couldn't help asking: "General Li, what happened?" thing!"

Li Yuanfang sighed: "My lord, please enter the East Palace and see for yourself!"

Seeing his sad face, Xiao Mingying had a bad thought, and immediately rushed into the East Palace, pity the sixty-year-old man, and had to walk in small steps.

Passing through layers of defenses, Xiao Mingying walked into the East Palace, and then led by Li Yuanfang to the outside of a living room. He tremblingly stretched out his hand to push the door, and the worry in his heart became more and more intense. At this moment, the room unexpectedly... unexpectedly heard Emperor Xia's hearty laughter!

"A seven! Haha... I won! In the end, I can win with a four and a seven. My card skills are getting better and better." Emperor Xia laughed.

Xiao Mingying immediately froze in front of the door with a look of astonishment, what the hell are you doing!

Immediately, he opened the door and entered, and saw His Majesty sitting and playing cards with Xiao Rui and Hai Dafu!

On the other side, three female officials, Li Mingchong, Zhuge Yuanba, and genius doctor Hua Tuo sat on the other side.

Xiao Rui put a good hand of cards on the table, then got up and cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Uncle Huang!"

Others said: "My servant pays homage to Prince Zhou!"

Only then did Xiao Mingying come back to his senses, and then clasped his hands and replied: "My lord, long live your majesty. The old minister pays his respects to the crown prince, and the crown prince is blessed and safe."

Xia Huang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, come on, come on, let's play a round, and tell you what happened by the way."

Hai Dafu moved away excitedly, and embraced the coffin at the end, happy!

Xiao Mingying sat down, and Xiao Rui told the ins and outs. After hearing this, Xiao Mingying's eyes widened immediately, with an incredulous expression on his face.

"Uncle Ming Yi's daughter is actually the protector of the Black Lotus Sect!" Xiao Mingying looked at Lu Su who was on the side in shock.

Lu Su showed an embarrassed smile.

It seems that Xiao Mingying and Ming Yibo are also very familiar. Thinking about it, they are both heroes who supported His Majesty to sit on the throne, so they naturally know each other.

At this time, Emperor Xia smiled and said: "According to the prince's plan, I have already been killed and the prince is unconscious. But I think that the messenger must try his best to verify my situation, and it will never be revealed if I don't verify the situation. Let’s go. Now the imperial army, the patrol battalion, and you are just the first step of the plan, and the rest is all up to you and Master Li.”

Xiao Mingying was a little embarrassed, and said: "Your Majesty, you know me. I am quite old-fashioned, and my acting skills are relatively unfamiliar. Can you hide it from others?"

"It's alright, you'll just pretend I'm dead." Emperor Xia laughed, speechless.

Xiao Mingying did not refuse, but at the same time he sighed.

Because he understands that the people who designed all this are not ordinary people, they must also be members of the royal family. No matter who is found in this matter, it will be the injury of the royal family.

This is the temptation of the throne, so that relatives meet each other with swords.

The next step is to see how the secret messengers will investigate the real situation of His Majesty. At the same time, Xiao Rui and the others must let the other party find out the news of His Majesty's "murder", otherwise they will not be able to force them to make a big move!
