The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Today is the morning court, and the country's government affairs are not busy, so Emperor Xia can sneak a game of chess with Hai Dafu.

When the chess game was in full swing, an eunuch found Hai Dafu and whispered something, and then Hai Dafu told Emperor Xia: "Your Majesty, the imperial guards at the Meridian Gate have come to report. Master Meng Tiannan from Yuewen Academy is asking to see Your Majesty, because he has no official title." With the title in his body, the imperial guards did not dare to make good claims to let him enter the palace, so the news reached the villain."

Emperor Xia was thinking about the next chess position, when he heard Hai Dafu's words, he immediately threw away the chess pieces, and shouted: "What are you waiting for, go and invite the old master into the palace yourself, and invite him to see me."

Hai Dafu naturally knew the identity of Mencius, so he immediately ran down to make arrangements.

Not long after, Meng Fuzi entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Emperor Xia stepped down from the dragon chair, supported Master Meng's arm in person, and said, "Master, what troubles you to come here in person, and send someone a message that I can go to Yuewen Academy to see you?"

Master Meng broke free from his support, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there is a difference between a monarch and his subjects, and the principles cannot be messed up."

Emperor Xia respected this first teacher very much, but seeing how tough he was, he had no choice but to go back to the dragon chair honestly and let Hai Dafu help Master Meng to sit down.

"Master, you always go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. You must not be chatting with me when you come to me." Emperor Xia wondered, he hadn't seen Master Meng enter the palace aggressively for many years. This Confucian master who hates evil like hatred?

Master Meng asked directly: "Your Majesty, Caomin would like to ask you, Daxia's Gangchang, are you the monarch, minister, minister, father and son?"

Emperor Xia immediately sat upright. It seems that Master Meng came here today with a lot of anger, so he replied: "That's right! A monarch should have the majesty of a monarch, a minister should have the responsibility of a minister, a father should have a father's example, and a son should have the role of a father." The filial piety of a son is one of the principles of my Great Xia governing the country."

Mencius asked again: "What if there are ministers who are not ministers, subordinates who rebel against the monarch, and internal officials who despise the royal family?"

"Punish it for the crime of disrespect!" Emperor Xia shouted.

Master Meng nodded, and said: "Your Majesty, just remember! Since Your Majesty allows the three princes to open the mansion, you must be a good example to your father, and you should also care about their opening of the mansion. The grassroots leave!"

Although Meng Fuzi was very angry, he also knew that he was concerned about Emperor Xia's face, so he only mentioned it briefly.

But Emperor Xia stopped Master Meng, and said with a smile: "Master, don't rush away, how about having a chat with me? You finally entered the palace, we haven't had a fight for a long time. And you said I will send someone to investigate immediately."

The emperor said so, and Master Meng could only follow through.

Emperor Xia ordered the other eunuchs to tidy up the chess sets, and then said to Hai Dafu: "Go and find out who is in trouble in the three princes' Kaifu."

"Yes, villain, I'll investigate right now." Hai Dafu hurried to do it immediately.

It should be mentioned that Hai Dafu went directly to the Inner Court Department without asking anyone.

Zhao Gaogao learned that Hai Dafu, the palm print of the Supervisor of Rituals, was coming, so he rushed out to greet him. This is a popular person beside His Majesty. Although Zhao Gaogao is the palm seal of the Inner Court Secretary, he has to rely on his breath to survive.

"Eunuch Hai, you are here, and I hope you will forgive me if you are far away." Zhao Gaogao hastily apologized.

Hai Dafu shook the floating dust in his hands, and smiled: "Eunuch Zhao, do you know who is playing chess with His Majesty right now?"

"Who is it?" Zhao Gaogao was a little puzzled.

Hai Dafu smiled and said: "It's Meng Tiannan, Old Master Meng. He was very annoyed and suggested that His Majesty should pay more attention to the opening of the prince's mansion, so His Majesty asked our family to come and see which prince was in trouble when opening the mansion. What do you think, Eunuch Zhao ?”

In an instant, Eunuch Zhao was sweating profusely, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Please also ask Eunuch Hai for advice, please also ask Eunuch Hai for advice!" Zhao Gaogao begged in horror.

It seems that Hai Dafu has always been aware of Xiao Rui being made things difficult by the Inner Court Secretary, so Emperor Xia is also well aware.

Hai Dafu said with a smile: "Our family has nothing to point out. The person who untied the bell has to tie it. If His Highness is satisfied, there is still room for maneuver in this matter, isn't there?"

"That's right! The villain will do it right away." Zhao Gaogao couldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death, this matter would even go to Emperor Xia. Didn't it mean that King Xian was not loved by Emperor Xia, so it was dispensable? Why does Old Master Meng support him?

Damn, our family has been bullied.

Zhao Gaogao immediately left the palace to meet Xiao Rui in person.

Xiao Rui laughed when he heard that Zhao Gaogao had arrived in person.

"Your Highness, do you want to see him?" Gao Quan asked.

Xiao Rui looked at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu laughed and said, "Your Highness, since Master Meng is the one who has come forward with this matter, we shouldn't get too involved with Zhao Gaogao. It's useless to see him. At most, we should listen to his pleadings and let us ridicule him. What we are going to see now It is how Emperor Xia will deal with it."

"That's right." Xiao Rui nodded and said, "I think so too. There are imperial guards guarding the gate of our house. Will His Majesty know what the Secretary of the Inner Court is doing to me? He didn't bother to ask, but let me solve it myself. Now I have When a solution is made, it depends on how he ticks the boxes.”

Jia Xu said: "This time, it's the audience's turn to make a decision."

Zhao Gaogao waited anxiously for Gao Quan's reply: His Highness King Xian is not available.

He returned to the Inner Court Department in a daze.

If he couldn't solve it properly, Hai Dafu could only report the truth.

At this time, Emperor Xia and Master Meng had been talking for a long time, and the sky was getting dark.

"Your Majesty, the matter has been clarified! Inner Court Secretary Zhao Gaogao disobeyed the imperial decree, did not prepare the prince's mansion for His Highness King Xian, and was rude to King Xian, which caused His Highness King Xian's opening of the mansion to be frustrated, and even meant to humiliate him." Hai Dafu stated calmly. road.

Emperor Xia happened to hit a sunspot and slaughter Baizi's dragon.

"Who gave him the guts? Check it out!" Emperor Xia shouted, "As for Zhao Gaogao, he can't recognize his position, so what's the use of keeping it, pull it out and stick him to death!"

Hai Dafu immediately took the order and took the imperial army to the Inner Court Division.

Only then did Master Meng's anger dissipate. Seeing his white pieces being killed to pieces, he couldn't help shaking his head and admitting defeat: "No more, no more, losing five games in a row, I'm here to practice chess for His Majesty ah!"

Emperor Xia put the black pieces in his hand into the box, and couldn't help joking: "Master, if you don't want to practice chess with me, you have time to be someone else's chess pieces, so come here and accuse me."

Meng Fuzi was taken aback for a moment, then he burst out laughing.

Emperor Xia asked, "What are you laughing at, Master?"

Meng Fuzi said: "You, you still eat your son's jealousy."

Emperor Xia asked back: "Master can't see that kid is playing tricks, please enter the palace and speak for him?"

Master Meng nodded and said: "I didn't find it at first, but I found out later. But the little guy is an upright schemer. Whether I can get in or not is in the hands of the old man. I appreciate this kid's literary talent and intelligence. Yangmou used it so much to make me happy, so I am willing to be his pawn. But you, as a father, how can you tolerate your child being bullied by servants?"

Emperor Xia smiled, but said: "I am the king first, and then the father."

Mencius was moved when he heard it.

"Is this the way to choose the crown prince?" After a while, Meng Fuzi asked aloud.

Emperor Xia stood up, stood in front of the main hall, and looked at the sky.

"It's worth it." Emperor Xia uttered these two words.

ps: 2020, everyone cheers together.
