The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 94: Taking the blame

"What a cunning little fox!" This was the thought of an official who was not hostile to Xiao Rui.

"What a treacherous and insidious villain!" This was the thought of the officials who were hostile to Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui asked Duan Wang Xiao Feng to be his deputy because he disgusted him, but he also applied to Emperor Xia to let Jin Wang Xiao Lie be his deputy, purely for the sake of taking the blame.

Because Xiao Rui understood very well that even if Emperor Xia ordered him to be fully responsible for meeting the envoys of the Great Yan Kingdom, would he really be able to handle this important event well?

In terms of etiquette, hospitality, process, food, safety, etc., any mistakes in any place are negligence, which is why Xiao Rui tried his best not to recruit this task. Will you do your best? No stumbling block is Xiao Rui's high incense.

So Xiao Rui dragged Xiao Lie into the water. His uncle is the Minister of Honghe Temple. Once Xiao Lie enters the game, Lin Yifeng, the minister of Honghe Temple, must do his best, otherwise...

Don't you see, it's the deputy's fault that things are not handled well.

Don't you see, the deputy is responsible for the mess up.

All in all, it's all the deputy's fault.

It doesn't matter what I'm doing!

It's all right!

Xiao Rui was engaged in official career in his previous life, so he kept the five internal principles in mind for such an important first principle.

So the officials thought he was insidious and cunning.

As for why he didn't choose Xiao Yiheng, uh... that guy is too cold and arrogant to be easily deceived.

So Xiao Rui looked at Emperor Xia with burning eyes. He had won the competition perfectly, so should his father give some assists?

Otherwise how to push the tower?

Emperor Xia's face was calm, but turned against Xiao Lie: "Prince Jin, regarding King Xian's proposal, I ask you to be his assistant and cooperate with Prince Duan, what do you think?"

The corners of Xiao Lie's mouth twitched. Although he had a gentle temper, he also knew that he was being used as a spearman this time. He was naturally unwilling, but facing Emperor Xia's question, he understood that what he answered was not what he wanted, or what he wanted. Your Majesty wishes. Father Huang did not reject Xiao Rui, but agreed to his suggestion. As for the purpose of asking himself, it was nothing more than to give himself a higher level.

He has a soft temper, and after understanding this, he dared not disobey him, so he could only reply: "My son is willing."

Chu Wang Xiao Yiheng beside him snorted coldly. If he were, he would definitely reject this thankless job. However, this further showed that Xiao Rui was good at speculating, and made him think highly of this seventh brother. In the past, he was completely ignored, even if he broke Xu Xianyang, he didn't pay attention to it, but now it seems that it is a huge mistake.

When Xiao Rui heard Xiao Lie's answer, he immediately thanked Emperor Xia for his support, and said to Xiao Lie: "Brother, my younger brother has little experience, and I will trouble you and fourth brother to worry about the envoy of Dayan. Don't worry. If you encounter something and do it boldly, if you can’t do it well, I will ask my father for help!"

Xiao Rui was actually above the Golden Palace, and directly began to shirk responsibility, without knowing how to avoid it, he told everyone in front of Emperor Xia: Pay attention, if you don't cooperate, it is Xiao Lie and Xiao Feng's fault, and I will sue Emperor Father !

Xiao Lie and Xiao Feng's faces were dark and they didn't want to pay attention to him.

It should be mentioned that before the end of the early morning, Qiankun Ball successfully crossed the red rope according to Xiao Rui's method. With a big wave of his hand, Emperor Xia ordered people to send the Qiankun Ball and four pairs of couplets to Zhao Guo at the same time, making Zhao Huang very disgusted.

In this way, a morning court lasted for two full hours, and it ended only when the kneeling knees of civil and military officials became weak.

When Xiao Rui was out of the palace, all civil and military officials whispered about it. Xiao Rui's performance today was too brilliant, and it was impossible not to talk about it.

Back at the mansion, Xiao Rui hurried to eat, feeling very hungry.

"Your Highness, how was your morning experience today?" Jia Xu asked with a smile.

Xiao Rui said: "Don't mention it, it's really famous this time."

Immediately, he briefly described what happened in the hall. But Jia Xu could imagine the splendor of that time, and couldn't help but praise: "Your Highness crushing the other princes, it's really extraordinary."

Xiao Rui complained, "But it won't be peaceful in the future."

Jia Xu disagreed, saying: "Taiping is an excuse for the mediocre, and those who make big things naturally live in the storm to make peace."

"Ding Pingbo..." Xiao Rui pondered the words carefully and nodded in agreement.

"Oh, that's right. Because of the envoy of Dayan this morning, the three fires I originally planned for the new officials did not go up." Xiao Rui said: "The purpose of setting up the fire is to pretend to be stupid, and now it seems that there is no need for it. "

Jia Xu said with a smile: "It's really unnecessary. I also feel that it is better to show your sharpness than to cover up. Your Highness was careful before, and there are reasons for being careful, but from now on, you don't have to hide your clumsiness anymore! Haha..."

"However, the three fires still have to be burned. Miao Fei is Xiao Yuan's uncle. His Highness is so outstanding today, and these villains will surely bear hatred and even set up poisonous schemes. We need to act first, and it can also serve as a warning to others. effect!"

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "That's exactly what I mean!"

Just when the two wanted to have an in-depth exchange, Gao Quan rushed to report, saying that Hao Yun, the left deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, had handed over the greeting card and was already waiting outside the mansion.

"Why is he here?" Jia Xu was taken aback. He had investigated all the civil and military officials in the capital, so he naturally knew Hao Yun. Even so, it didn't stop his temper.

Moreover, Emperor Xia also liked his temperament quite a lot, otherwise how could he be the third in command in such an important department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate with his meager family?

"Your Highness, did you provoke him?" Jia Xu asked.

Xiao Rui shook his head, and said, "In front of the Meridian Gate, he took the initiative to greet me, and then proposed to come to visit in the morning and evening, but he did not expect to come."

Jia Xu also frowned, and said, "He proposed to visit before His Highness showed his talents, why?"

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Sir, don't worry about it. Since he handed over the letter of worship, I will open the middle door to welcome him. He is a third-rank official. If he really came to make things difficult for me, hey, break his leg. There are a hundred ways to prevent my father from punishing me."

Jia Xu laughed out loud when he heard it.

Afterwards, Xiao Rui personally welcomed Hao Yun into the mansion.

Come to the main hall and take a seat.

"Your Highness, it's the first time I came to bother you with nothing, and I looked at Haihan when I was rude." Hao Yun cupped his hands and apologized.

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Master Hao, you are welcome. You can come here and make this prince's mansion flourish. To be honest, since this king opened the mansion, except for the third and ninth princes, all civil and military officials have visited. You are the first guest."

Hao Yun is a rigid person, and when he heard this, he showed a slightly blunt smile: "It's really an honor for me."

Xiao Rui saw his smile in his eyes, Hao Yun's smile came from the heart, so what he was throwing was not a Hongmen banquet, and the other party was not Liu Bang.

So... his intentions?

"I don't know if Mr. Hao is here today, is there something important?" Xiao Rui couldn't figure it out, so he had a showdown.

Unexpectedly, Hao Yun got up quickly, and bowed deeply to Xiao Rui who was sitting on the main seat, with a ninety-degree posture and an extremely devout attitude.

"My lord, Hao Yun, is willing to join His Highness's command and help His Highness obtain the crown prince!"
