The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 139: Banquet for Wei Zhongxian

Xiao Rui finally sent the nagging Xiao Yan away, but when he went to look for Jia Xu, he was told that he would leave the house in the afternoon.

As for his whereabouts... At this time, Jia Xu is actually in Zhongyonghou's mansion.

Opposite him was Zhuge Yuanba who had just returned to Beijing.

Zhuge Yuanba made tea himself, poured water for Jia Xu, stretched out his hand to signal for the tea, and said: "It seems that I left at the wrong time. I missed such a lively event. It's a pity... I just entered the city and heard people talking about it." Regarding the relationship history between Zhuge Liuying and King Xian, I still wonder if both of them have become enlightened? It’s just a fire, otherwise it would be the same name and surname. I didn’t expect that the two were not enlightened because they were forced.”

Jia Xu laughed and said, "If Your Highness understands the good intentions of the commander, why bother?"

Zhuge Yuanba looked at Jia Xu and said, "It's his good fortune to have a counselor like you by your side. Although that little guy's start was a bit poor, as long as he works hard, the crown prince is not out of reach. Difficult!"

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Thank you for your praise, Commander. Can I ask you one more question, among the princes in the capital, why did the Commander choose my Highness?"

Zhuge Yuanba showed nostalgia on his face, and said: "One is that this kid likes me, the other is that I see that my niece has a good feeling for Xiao Rui, and the third is that I need to repay the kindness I received."

"Could it be His Highness's concubine?" Jia Xu asked.

Zhuge Yuanba was taken aback for a moment, a little surprised, then nodded and said: "Sir, you are indeed very wise!"

Jia Xu explained: "His Majesty's mother and concubine are extremely mysterious. I have tried my best to find no valuable clues. It must be His Majesty who can have such a cover-up method. How can His Majesty cover up? The concubine's origin or ability is not simple, so when the commander said that he was favored by others, I immediately thought of His Highness's mother and concubine."

"Actually, I came here today to ask Champion Hou's opinion on behalf of my Highness?"

Marriage is an important matter, the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Jia Xu wants to use this disaster to finalize the marriage between Xiao Rui and Zhuge Liuying, but he must consider the meaning of the champion.

Zhuge Yuanba took a sip of tea and said, "Don't worry sir, I can make the decision for my eldest brother!"

"Okay!" Jia Xu was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and cupped his hands, "Then we have to rely on the commander to do it!"

Zhuge Yuanba nodded, he put down the teacup, and said: "My free life should be over, sir, to be honest, I have been out these few days, and I have also tracked down some key evidence of Han Mobei's actions, although I can't overthrow He, but he can be involved, I will personally go to Lord Ye Xiu's place!"

Jia Xu was overjoyed, and with the addition of Ye Xiu, the governor of the Chinese Army, this force was enormous, and it was almost certain to deal with the Han family.

But Jia Xu still wanted to add some more charges, so he said: "I heard from Miss Zhuge that she has sent a letter to the champion. It is expected that the champion will also provide help. Although he is not in the capital, the weight of his military report is not small. Ru Yang Wang, Commander, you, Champion Hou, and Master Ye, this power is nothing small, plus the Han family colluded with Dongchang, haha!"

"Dongchang?" Zhuge Yuanba smiled: "Dongchang and Jinyiwei are investigative agencies set up by His Majesty himself and directly under him. They are more important than the imperial army. They were bought and wooed just after they were established? Haha, this This time, the Han family really stole chickens and lost money."

"So I still need to find evidence that the Han family colluded with Dongchang. Once this is confirmed, it's time to deal with the Han family. In order to prevent changes, I will act as soon as possible." Jia Xu said.

Zhuge Yuanba said: "Okay! Then wait for the good news!"

Jia Xu picked up the teacup and toasted Zhuge Yuanba, the two looked at each other and smiled.

When Jia Xu returned to the mansion, he went to see Xiao Rui and told Xiao Rui about his plan.

After hearing what Jia Xu did, Xiao Rui was stunned in shock. He was still trying to find a way to get rid of the rumors. Instead, Jia Xu insisted on telling the truth and contacted Zhuge Yuanba. He also agreed to the marriage between Xiao Rui and Zhuge Liuying ?

He thought of Zhuge Liuying's abnormality some time ago and Zhuge Yuanba's care, and finally understood the root cause.

So, I conquered Zhuge Liuying with my personality charm?

After figuring this out, Xiao Rui couldn't laugh or cry, and then he had to face the next question: what should Xiao Qingqing do?

As for Zhang Ruoxi and Li Ruoxue who had a crush on the first time they met, let's not make trouble, don't mention it.

...

The next day, Xiao Rui still did not go to court.

I heard that in the early court, a large number of censors impeached King Xian, the posture was beyond words, and King Xian deliberately did not go to the early court and did not give an explanation, which made these censors even more dissatisfied.

Hao Yun, in particular, reprimanded him loudly and sharply. If Jia Xu hadn't told him that Jia Xu had deliberately asked Hao Yun to impeach him, Xiao Rui really wanted to secretly send Wu Zhanfa to break his leg.

It turned out that I had misunderstood Hao Yun.

This guy is sparing no effort to corrupt himself for his own sake!

Wait, why are these words so convoluted?

With the passage of time, coupled with the impeachment of the censor, several princes also spoke out to participate, officials from the Ministry of Rites and other departments also began to criticize, His Majesty finally took action, it seems that he is also aware of the excessiveness of King Xian The whole capital was full of discussions, which seriously affected the face of the royal family, so when he came down from the court, Emperor Xia ordered the eunuch, the servant, to send a message to King Xian.

Xiao Rui stayed in the mansion and received the servant eunuch sent by His Majesty.

The servant and eunuch said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty asked the villain to send a message that the mission of the Dayan Mission has ended, and it is time to go to court tomorrow. It is just to explain the rumors that have caused everyone in the capital to know."

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Please tell your majesty, father-in-law, I know, I must finish everything today, even if I am already on the way to death, I have to crawl to the morning court, it is not easy for me."

The eunuch swallowed his saliva and asked for a while, "Your Highness, pass on the original words?"

Xiao Rui said: "Of course! I have to let His Majesty know about my son's hard work, otherwise the hard work will be in vain."

After the servant and eunuch decided to go back to the palace, he would discuss it with Hai Dafu first, but he dared not tell His Majesty about this.

After seeing off the eunuchs, Xiao Rui smiled: "Tomorrow morning, I will definitely be the target of public criticism."

Jia Xu said: "That would be interesting, but, Du Juannian's face is probably not good. After all, you are the supervisory censor in front of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but you were impeached by the censor. This is self-slapping, and it belongs to the fire in your own courtyard. "

Xiao Rui nodded seriously when he heard it: "Thinking about it this way, it's really interesting."

Jia Xu didn't care about the morning court tomorrow, but cared about the evening banquet, so she said, "Your Highness, did you invite Wei Zhongxian from Dongchang tonight?"

Xiao Rui said: "This person has helped me. The first thing to entertain him is to thank him, and the second is to get evidence of Han Mobei's collusion with Dongchang through him."

But Jia Xu said: "I checked this person, he is a sinister and cunning villain. He became the deputy of the third division by ingratiating Mr. Gao, the leader of the third division of the East Factory. The father-in-law and His Highness have a relationship, and they are capricious. It is estimated that they want to use His Highness's hand to bring down Eunuch Gao, so that he can take over the position. This man is ambitious and should not be friends with."

As expected of Wei Zhongxian, he directly sold his leader for the sake of his position, and he was a leader who was kind to him. This unscrupulous and insidious method really fits his personality. Having a deep friendship with him is no less than seeking skin with a tiger.

But what about Xiao Rui? The entanglement value is there, this is life! And playing with him is so exciting!

Xiao Rui said: "Mr. has guarded the gate for me, why worry about Wei Zhongxian's schemes? Although he is a sword with no handle, we will hurt ourselves if we hold it, but it will hurt others even more."

Jia Xu also understands this truth, there are indeed too few people available for King Xian, so it doesn't matter if he is used.

"Okay! Then look at this person's means, and I will also make arrangements to keep him under our control!" Jia Xu said.

Night fell.

Wei Zhongxian secretly entered Xianwang Mansion through the back door.

Xiao Rui wanted to search for evidence of Han Mobei's collusion with Dongchang, so he had to be careful not to get the evidence instead of playing with others. Wei Zhongxian also knew that it was a taboo, so he dressed very low-key and walked around several streets to make sure no one was following him before he came to Xianwang Mansion.

In order to prevent spying in the palace, King Xian specially held a banquet in the backyard, accompanied only by Jia Xu. There was Wu Zhanfa guarding outside the courtyard, and even Wu Zhanfa didn't know that it was Wei Zhongxian who came.

"Your Highness cordially invites you. The villain is long overdue. He deserves ten thousand deaths. He deserves ten thousand deaths." Seeing Xiao Rui, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly cupped his hands in apology.

Xiao Rui helped Wei Zhongxian up, and said with a smile: "Eunuch Wei, tonight is a private banquet, there is no such great respect. Thanks to the mercy of Eunuch, the king was not trapped in the mud the day before yesterday."

Wei Zhongxian panicked and said: "Your Highness has broken the villain, and the humble and humble must not forget."

As he said that, Wei Zhongxian handed over a brocade box, and then said: "The villain came to visit and prepared some small profits, please accept it with a smile."

Jia Xu next to Xiao Rui took the brocade box for him.

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Let Eunuch Wei spend the money."

Unexpectedly, Wei Zhongxian smiled without saying a word, looking at the brocade box, Xiao Rui was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood, he quickly said to Jia Xu: "Sir, open it for me."

Jia Xu opened the brocade box, only to find several sheets of paper inside.

How many pieces of paper are you going to give the prince as a gift?

This is more than a thin gift, it is too thin.

However, Xiao Rui and Jia Xu found it interesting. Jia Xu picked up the paper and browsed the things written on it. Jia Xu frowned when he saw it, and quickly passed it to Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui took it for a closer look, and it turned out to be the evidence that Han Mobei bought Eunuch Gao, the third head of the East Factory. He recorded in detail the time and place of the transaction between the two, and even described what gifts Han Mobei gave.

This is simply sleepy sending a pillow, and was about to search for evidence, before he could open his mouth, Wei Zhongxian took it out first.

Xiao Rui admired Wei Zhongxian's opportunistic means, and it was of great benefit to him. It not only showed his sincerity, but also seized excuses. After all, he is so generous. Look down on it.

Xiao Rui laughed and said, "Eunuch Wei, this is a generous gift! Please, let's talk in the room."

Entering the room, Jia Xu poured wine, Wei Zhongxian stood up, held up the wine glass, and respected: "I have heard about your highness's name for a long time, and it is my honor to visit you in person today. Please allow me to do it for you, and first toast your highness with a glass to express your respect." The surge of emotion in my heart."

Xiao Rui picked up the wine and replied: "Okay! Then let's drink this cup together!"

After the three drank it all in one gulp.

Xiao Rui pretended to sigh: "Eunuch Wei has a noble character and outstanding ability. Now he works for the third division of the East Factory. I really wronged you. What's even worse is that Eunuch Gao, the third division leader, works for His Majesty, and he even formed a party for personal gain and colluded with his relatives." , his heart should be punished, his crime should be punished, as a prince, this king also has the responsibility to eliminate the cancer."

Wei Zhongxian said sincerely: "Your Highness's words are deafening, and the villain will remember them in his heart. Although Eunuch Gao is kind to the villain, Dongchang is His Majesty's Dongchang. Dongchang has Dongchang's rules, and the villain can't sleep. , in the face of loyalty and righteousness, it was difficult to make a choice, and it was hard to suffer. In the end, I made up my mind to kill my relatives righteously! Only then did I produce the evidence and hand it over to His Highness."

Xiao Rui praised: "Eunuch Wei, you are really a good minister!"

These words seemed to speak to Wei Zhongxian's thoughts, he said with emotion: "This is the lifelong ambition of a villain, to be a good minister useful to the country!"

Jia Xu at the side stroked his beard and smiled, feeling relieved at Xiao Rui's growth.

Being able to speak nonsense with open eyes at such a young age, and have a good time chatting with treacherous people, if it wasn't for the huge disparity in status, he would probably have sworn blood for an alliance.

Only such a highness can create a great cause.
