The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 206: It's none of my business, it's King Xian's idea!

Xiao Rui stood on the platform and looked around, everyone's eyes were focused on him, because they knew that the most exciting and fierce competition would be next, because the auction was for the treasure donated by His Majesty.

It is said that His Majesty personally wrote a piece of calligraphy titled: "Scholarly Family", these four characters are more attractive than gold, and some aristocratic families with Confucianism are regarded as treasures, so the four characters inscribed by the imperial pen are hanging At home, it is no longer bragging about his scholarly legacy, but a real scholarly family! How can this dignity be measured by money?

Money keeps money for a long time, and yellow and white things can't bring reputation. As for the "scholarly family" mentioned in His Majesty's personal question, as long as the Great Xia Kingdom exists, the longer it will last, the more it will last forever, just like a treasured wine, bringing brilliance to the whole family.

Xiao Rui felt the silence around him, and everyone was looking at him, as if he was short of breath.

He waved his hand, and a beautiful young girl came onto the stage. The tray was covered with apricot silk, making it even more noble.

"Everyone, the next step is the last part of the charity auction. Our great majesty of the Great Xia Kingdom donated three treasures to fund the auction. Now it is the first one in front of you! Please allow me to show it to everyone This baby!"

After Xiao Rui finished speaking with a smile, he raised his hand and pinched the apricot silk.

Everyone stood up and looked at Xiao Rui intently.

Xiao Rui slowly stretched out his hand, pinched a corner of the apricot yellow silk, and deliberately slowed down, so that everyone's hearts were raised. When the silk was slowly uncovered, sure enough, a scroll appeared on the tray.

Xiao Rui held the scroll in both hands, and said with a smile: "I am lucky to have seen this treasure in advance. I can tell everyone that this is a calligraphy, and it was mentioned by His Majesty himself!"

After a pause, Xiao Rui continued: "Besides, the content of this scroll has far-reaching meaning and is very valuable for preservation. Everyone, can you guess what it is?"

"His Royal Highness, don't be a fool, open it as soon as possible, and let me wait to see the essence of the imperial pen!" The speaker was a doctor from the Imperial Academy. Although his rank was not high, he was Meng Tiannan, the son of Master Meng. The current owner of the house. The Meng family has always boasted of being a scholarly family, and the Kong family refused to give in to each other. Naturally, this "scholarly family" became the focus of competition between the two families.

"That's right! Your Highness King Xian, I'm already in a hurry, so don't delay." The head of the Kong family who spoke, this Kong family is also the descendant of Kong Sheng, but because Kong Sheng's ancestral home is in the Great Zhao Kingdom, so the Great Xia Kingdom's The reputation of the Confucian family is far inferior to that of the Zhao State Confucian family, but it is also a first-class Confucian family in Daxia.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Since the two adults are so eager, then well, I will open the scroll!"

As he spoke, Xiao Rui slowly opened the scroll, and the eight big characters appeared in everyone's eyes.

bass

Unexpectedly, the princes stood up suddenly, staring at the eight characters in shock, but looking at the Patriarch of the Meng family and the Patriarch of the Kong family, they were dumbfounded, why are there eight characters? And it's not what I thought!

It turned out that what was written on the scroll was: "Nine days embrace the moon, be the number one!"

This remark is easy to understand. It refers to accomplishing the impossible, implying lofty aspirations. Coupled with being the champion, the whole sentence can be understood as: In the fierce competition, victory has been achieved.

It is all because of the word "nine" that made the princes so nervous and important.

The nine princes of Daxia, and the nine dragon sons go to the sky to embrace the moon, who can be the champion?

This belongs to Lenovo, but it was written by His Majesty. He wrote such a passage for no reason, and even took out the auction. What is his intention? So the princes have to be cautious and think a lot.

And Emperor Xia drank tea quietly.

He said that he was innocent, that his son Xiao Rui tricked him into writing it himself, and it had nothing to do with his thoughts or intentions, nor did he have any thoughts, and it had nothing to do with him no matter what others thought. It doesn't matter.

Xiao Rui was overjoyed.

Look at Xiao Yiheng's excitement, you can see his eagerness from downstairs. The performance of the other princes was not much better, only Xiao Ze and Xiao Yan were much calmer, it seemed that the brothers had stood up, if they didn't stand up, it would be quite embarrassing.

"Gentlemen, these eight characters are written by His Majesty himself. How domineering and domineering you are! If you can get these characters and hang them in the study room, you will definitely be the first in everything." Xiao Rui said with a smile.

"Next, let's start bidding! The starting price for this painting is 80,000 taels! Each increase must not be less than 10,000 taels!"

"suck"

There was a sound of rapid breathing. I didn't expect the price of this calligraphy to be so high, but think about it, this is His Majesty's calligraphy, can it not be expensive?

"This king bids 80,000 taels!" Xiao Yiheng shouted immediately without being polite.

Xiao Lie immediately raised the price: "90,000 taels!"

"One hundred thousand taels!" The sixth prince Xiao Ming actually joined in the fun.

"140,000 taels!" Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan, who was silent, suddenly increased the price, and directly increased the price by 40,000 taels. This move made the three princes startled and stared at him.

Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly, realizing that he had raised the price a little too aggressively. Concubine De was so angry that she coughed repeatedly when she heard her son's asking price. If His Majesty hadn't been there, she would have rushed to twist her ears. Tell me, why are you joining in the fun!

Xiao Rui was also a little speechless. I knew that Xiao Yan was unreliable, but I didn't expect it to be so unreliable. Your behavior of deliberately raising prices is too obvious. Raising prices has always been about step by step, and you will increase it unconsciously. After rising so much, the few people who were about to fight over their heads immediately sobered up, and they were fighting for a fart!

"It's 140,000 taels, is there any competition? It's His Majesty's expectation to take the top spot in nine days!" Xiao Rui had no choice but to start talking nonsense, and it was in front of His Majesty.

Your Majesty never had this expectation! This is not only nonsense, but also trying to figure out the holy will!

Fortunately, Emperor Xia kept drinking tea and seemed not to hear.

But Xiao Rui's words once again ignited the passion of the princes.

"One hundred and fifty thousand taels!" Xiao Yiheng made another bid.

"160,000 taels!"

"Eighteen thousand taels!"

"Two hundred thousand taels!"

In the end, Xiao Yiheng raised the price to 200,000 taels, and Xiao Lie gave up with a sigh.

As a prince, like Xiao Yiheng, he doesn't have much money, and he dared to spend so much money by relying on his grandfather behind him, but the Lin family is indeed not as rich as the Zhou family, not to mention that there is a Li family behind Xiao Yiheng.

Even if Xiao Lie's father-in-law is the Minister of the Household Department, he can't use the treasury.

Xiao Yiheng won the victory with a smile on his face.

And Xiao Rui is also satisfied, this money is earned, tsk tsk, it's too easy, next time I find a chance, I will definitely ask my father to write more calligraphy and paintings, the wealth of the family depends on it.

And then, the auction continues.

The second donated treasure was presented, and when the apricot silk was lifted, it turned out to be a scroll!

This time, it is the "scholarly family" that several great families have been waiting for!

The starting price is 50,000 taels, and each increase should not be less than 10,000 taels. In this way, several big families began to compete, and finally the Meng family got it, and the price was locked at 150,000 taels!

If Xiao Rui hadn't been standing on the stage, he would have jumped up long ago.

Only 100,000 taels are left, and the task of raising 1.2 million taels is completed. This task is called a task. It can not only earn advent points, but also earn money, which is great!

"Everyone, the auction of the last treasure for donation will be held next, and it will also be the last item of this charity auction!" After Xiao Rui explained, the maid came over and lifted the apricot yellow silk, it was still a scroll!

Everyone was speechless and excited at the same time, what was written in it this time?

Xiao Rui didn't say much, and slowly unrolled the scroll, presenting the contents of the calligraphy to everyone.

"Children are not deceived"!

Seeing this, the rich and powerful lost their excitement in an instant. What did they want to do without deceit, but the stewards of the top ten chambers of commerce sitting in the hall were different.

Their trembling hands already represented their determination to bid.

In business, the most important thing is to be innocent, which represents sincerity. This is the simplest, but also the most difficult point. Because a little dishonesty can make more money, few businessmen can restrain the temptation of profit.

Therefore, the value of these four words cannot be measured by money.

Xiao Rui saw their performance in his eyes, but it took a lot of effort to ask His Majesty to write it down. At first, Xiao Rui begged His Majesty to write "Commercial World", which represents the scale of the business, but he did not agree at all. After several discussions, he finally wrote it without deception.

"The starting price for this painting is 80,000, and the bidding price for each bid is no less than 10,000 taels! Start now!" Xiao Rui shouted.

The Hengtong Chamber of Commerce represented by the leopard immediately bid: "Eighty thousand taels!"

"Ninety thousand taels!" Huizhou Merchants Chamber of Commerce.

"One hundred thousand taels!" Wankang Chamber of Commerce

In Xiao Rui's expectation, facing these four words, the profit-seeking chamber of commerce was like a bear who encountered a bee, and couldn't restrain the impulse at all, so the price rose steadily, and soon exceeded 150,000.

But in the end, the Golden Leopard's Hengtong Chamber of Commerce won the auction with 220,000 taels.

There is no way, the other chambers of commerce are all in charge. When the price was raised to 200,000, they hesitated, and they didn't have that much authority. But the golden leopard happened to be the young master of the chamber of commerce, so he didn't ask how much it was, he only had one thought, to buy it!

Xiao Rui clapped his hands and asked the leopard to take the calligraphy away on stage. The white flesh of the leopard was trembling with excitement. The Hengtong Chamber of Commerce is really famous this time.

The corners of Xiao Rui's mouth were raised high, happy.

"Ding Dong's task is completed, more than 1.2 million taels of funds have been raised, the descending value is +40, and the current descending value is 80/100."

A total of 1.32 million taels was raised, and he can get 130,000 taels for his achievements. Xiao Rui seemed to see the dangling silver piled up in his room, and he could run, roll, and jump on the silver. Sailing on the ocean of silver

Finally, Xiao Rui made a concluding speech: "Thanks to everyone present for their great help. This charity auction raised a total of 1.32 million taels of charity. The money will be handed over to Dongchang for full responsibility. Starting tomorrow, we will Start helping the poor affected by the heavy snow, and reduce the harm of the snow disaster as quickly as possible. I also hope that your kindness can move the common people, let the heavy snow stop tomorrow, and give us a sunny day. Next, please Your Majesty to make the last speech! Applause rang out Come!"

"clap clap"

Fierce applause rang out, Emperor Xia stood up, and said loudly: "I am very happy today. Your enthusiasm and kindness have shown me that the heavy snow is ruthless and that people are sympathetic. King Xian, tomorrow I will submit the list of all charity participants to the cabinet. I want to tell the world and praise them. Especially those who bid enthusiastically, Daxia and I will not be stingy with words of praise!"

"crack clap clap"

In an instant, the applause was even louder. The people who came here rejoiced secretly, and then gloated over their misfortune. I don't know if those dignitaries who were not present were in danger when the official document announced to the world was announced? What will His Majesty think of them?

Amidst warm applause, the charity auction officially ended, and everyone respectfully sent off His Majesty and the ladies, and the rest of the people left the venue one after another.

Xiao Rui also had a busy day. Li Yuanfang and Li Kui escorted him back to the mansion, leaving Jia Xu to deal with the aftermath.

Seeing that the palace was close in front of him, Li Yuanfang suddenly stopped the carriage.

"Your Highness, there is someone peeping in the dark."

Li Yuanfang was able to cultivate and immediately sensed the situation.

"Don't worry about it, go back home." Xiao Rui continued.

With the protection of Li Yuanfang and Li Kui, one of them is a fourth-rank warrior who can fight fifth-rank, and the other is a peak warrior of fifth rank. It is almost impossible for ordinary assassins to assassinate Xiao Rui, unless there is a large-scale attack.

After returning to the palace, Xiao Rui took a shower and went to bed early.

In the morning of the next day, although the snow was still falling, it was obviously smaller. According to this rhythm, it should stop in the evening.

Xiao Rui breathed a sigh of relief, if another day and night were to come, the disaster would be even more serious.

Early in the morning, Wei Dabao from Dongchang came, so Xiao Rui didn't make any trouble. Give him all the tickets from yesterday's auction and ask him to ask for money. Xiao Rui will not participate in this matter.

"Your Highness, please don't worry. After the donations are collected, the villain will send His Highness's commission." Wei Dabao smiled happily, and tightly shook the ticket in his hand. This is more than one million yuan. If it is all his own, then How nice it would be!

Xiao Rui saw Wei Dabao's performance in his eyes, and Jia Xu secretly investigated and found out a lot of information about Wei Dabao, one of his great hobbies was money.

So every time Xiao Rui stuffed him with money, he would take it without hesitation, and Xiao Rui and Jia Xu suspected that the way the Eighth Prince Xiao Jing wins over Wei Dabao is through money!

Everyone has a weakness, as long as you grasp the weakness, it will fall into the trap.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Eunuch Wei is doing business, so I can rest assured. However, I would like to remind you that these people worked hard to recruit, keep accounts, and take good care of their subordinates. Don't get dirty hands and feet."

Wei Dabao was more respectful, but he scoffed inwardly.

Exhausted? Nima cheated so much money after two days of busy work, this money is too easy to earn!

Naturally, he couldn't listen to it. With so much money to help the victims, he could think of a way to embezzle it with his toes.

"Your Highness taught me the lesson, the villain will remember." Wei Dabao said.

Xiao Rui nodded and watched him leave.

"Yuanfang!" Xiao Rui shouted.

"Your Highness!" Li Yuanfang responded.

"Go to Dongchang, let Wei Zhongxian come to see me quietly, and send someone to call the golden leopard." Xiao Rui ordered.

Li Yuanfang set off immediately.

"Gao Quan, please invite your husband." Xiao Rui said again.

Gao Quan went to invite Jia Xu.

Xiao Rui stretched his waist, and it was time to start deploying the actions he planned.
