The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

After Xiao Feng left the palace, what happened in the palace was not spread, but when Jin Yiwei's commander Zhang Yu started arresting people, the whole capital didn't want to know.

The first one among them was the cousin of the second prince Xiao Yiheng's uncle, who served as the doctor of the fifth rank of the Ministry of Punishment.

The people Jin Yiwei went directly to the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment to arrest were so tough that Zhou Mingwen, who was the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, was stupefied.

Surprised or not, is it unexpected?

His cousin is still accused of being a cultist of the Black Lotus Sect!

In the past few days, he has been busy helping his nephew to arrest members of the Black Lotus Sect, but he did not expect that people around him would be arrested while flowers bloomed outside the wall.

After Xiao Yiheng found out, he scolded this distant uncle to be damned. He had just been praised by his father when such a thing happened, and his face was slapped. Zhou Mingwen also proposed whether to intercede with Emperor Xia? Xiao Yiheng thought over and over again, and uttered one word: Yes!

Immediately afterwards, Jin Yiwei arrested several people, among them were the relatives and friends of the fifth and sixth princes.

This drama was full of ups and downs, and after Xiao Rui knew about it, it was too late.

At the same time, he also knew what Emperor Xia's teaching was.

Let the prince investigate the Black Lotus Sect first, and praise it when there are some results, and then start to eliminate the Black Lotus Sect, pull out a series of problematic names, so that the prince will face himself, when they face their relatives who are related to them When he is a follower of the Black Lotus Sect, how should the prince choose?

This is teaching, this is teaching.

At the same time, Xiao Rui couldn't help admiring Emperor Xia's brilliant move, which not only educated the princes, made them understand that in the face of state affairs, anyone who breaks the law is unforgivable, even if he is your relative or friend!

This is the ruthlessness that a qualified emperor should have.

In addition, it also made the prince a sword in the hands of Emperor Xia, who could mercilessly slaughter criminal courtiers, because the prince stood in front of him, and he stayed out of the matter.

The third is Jia Xu's conjecture, which should be a veiled warning from Emperor Xia: I did not allow you to form cliques secretly, so everyone has to be honest. As a future king, it is necessary to cultivate the overall situation, assess the situation, and endure loneliness.

Only Xiao Yiheng, Xiao Yuan, and Xiao Ming fell into the pit now, but you must know that there are four rosters of the Black Lotus Sect, and the names of the other three rosters must have nothing to do with other princes?

Even Xiao Rui suspected that his distant relatives might be involved.

Because if the Black Lotus Sect is really controlled by the Night King, it must be the first choice to win over the emperor's relatives, especially the prince's relatives, let alone let them go.

Of course, these are Xiao Rui and Jia Xu's speculations, because from the beginning, Emperor Xia only asked the princes to look for Xiao Heding instead of investigating the Black Lotus Sect.

It was all the princes who were attracted by the Black Lotus Sect in the information, blinded by one leaf, thinking that the Black Lotus Sect was related to Xiao Heding, as long as they found out about the Black Lotus Sect, they would find Xiao Heding.

So Emperor Xia didn't say anything, it was the lessons learned by the princes themselves.

This is the brilliance of Emperor Xia.

Jia Xu suspected that Emperor Xia had investigated the Black Lotus Sect for a long time, and he didn't do anything for a long time. He just wanted to fatten up before killing them. Now it seems, um, even the fat ones can't walk.

In two days, Jin Yiwei arrested more than 20 court officials. It is worth mentioning that one of them was actually another envoy, so he contributed another roster, and the more exciting face-slapping activities continued.

The younger brother of the fourth prince Xiao Feng's grandfather was actually in the roster.

Oh my God.

Xiao Feng was also dumbfounded.

I just gave my brother a knife, and I stabbed myself with a backhand?

His grandfather even came to intercede: "Feng'er, your grandfather and I are only my own brother. He was deceived into joining the Black Lotus Sect. He didn't do it willingly. Why don't you go to Emperor Xia to beg for mercy?"

The corner of Xiao Feng's mouth twitched, although he was usually a muscle, but this time he was very smart. If you are a British prince, you don’t go to beg for mercy. I’m going. How will my father fix me, a prince who is inconsistent?

So Xiao Feng did what he was best at, went directly to the palace to plead guilty, and begged his father to severely punish the villains of the Black Lotus Sect!

Emperor Xia greatly praised Xiao Feng, which excited Xiao Feng who was already nervous, and understood more clearly that only by upholding justice can he be recognized.

What should be mentioned is that the third prince Xiao Ze also has relatives involved in this matter, but he is lazy in the first place and didn't bother to ask. His grandfather knew the general situation and didn't bother him at all.

At this time, only the eldest prince Xiao Lie, the seventh prince Xiao Rui, and the ninth prince Xiao Yan stayed out of the matter.

Don't forget, there are two rosters.

Xiao Rui seriously suspected that Emperor Xia was playing chess.

In the past few days, Wei Guang and Shao Yao from Wuxiang Boneless Grilled Chicken Shop still hadn't made any movement, and the spies from the East Factory were getting a little impatient, and began to wonder if they were spying on the wrong person.

Xiao Rui was also a little anxious, but Jia Xu told him to wait! Don't worry!

Now everyone in the Black Lotus Sect is shouting for beatings, Wei Guang and Shao Yao are also impatient, so they dare not act rashly. On the other hand, the arrest of members of the Black Lotus Sect also makes them anxious, and they will not miss Wu Zhanfa! If he succeeds in assassinating Emperor Xia, the Black Lotus Sect will be destroyed, so what's the big deal.

The time came to the twenty-third day after the system issued the task.

Wei Guang and Shao Yao finally acted.

They didn't do business today, but left the city early in the morning.

The two spies from Dongchang followed secretly. Although Wei Guang and Shao Yao were good at martial arts, they were not proficient in anti-reconnaissance capabilities, so they didn't pay attention to the trail of the tracking masters.

At the same time, Xiao Rui also borrowed five masters from the Forbidden Army to protect Xiao Yan. They went out of the city together with Wu Zhanfa, and chased after them according to the clues left by the spies.

Twenty miles south of the capital, there is a Buddhist temple called "Lianhua Temple". There are few young monks in the temple, and it is not well-known, and there are hardly any pilgrims. And Wei Guang and Shao Yao walked into this temple.

Not long after, Wu Zhanfa and five people also came to the Lotus Temple, but did not enter, but hid around the temple.

But Wei Guang and Shao Yao entered the Lotus Temple, met the old abbot inside, and said, "Abbot, let's find Master Yuanzhen."

The abbot was cleaning with a broom, without raising his head, he said, "Junior Brother, he is sitting in meditation in front of the pagoda, you go on your own."

"Yes!" Wei Guang and Shao Yao immediately walked towards the back of the temple. The Lotus Temple is very small. After the front hall, there is the inner house. After the inner house, there is a small vegetable garden in the backyard, and there is a dilapidated pagoda in the yard.

At this time, in front of the stupa, there was an old monk sitting quietly.

Wei Guang and Shao Yao came and said respectfully, "Holy One!"

The old monk asked without raising his head, "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you that it's not a big deal, don't come to the poor monk."

Wei Guangdao: "Holy One, more than 20 days ago, a forbidden soldier came to us and said that he was a believer you placed in the forbidden army back then. Now he is on duty in the Hall of Mental Cultivation and has approached Emperor Xia at close range. Report this to you."

"Um?"

The old monk groaned softly, and a smile appeared on his slightly startled face.

"There is a guest coming from outside the temple, hurry up and invite him in so that he can be entertained." The old monk said leisurely.

"??" Wei Guang and Shao Yao walked out of the Lotus Temple scratching their heads.
