The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

the next day.

After the morning court was over, Xiao Rui followed Emperor Xia to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The two were chatting. Empress Zhou Xiangyun ordered an internal official to report in a hurry, saying that Concubine Mu in the cold palace had hanged herself to death.

Emperor Xia and Xiao Rui were both taken aback when they heard this.

Emperor Xia frowned slightly, aware of the strangeness of Concubine Mu's suicide, but in the end he didn't ask and have someone thoroughly investigate, but nodded and said, "I know."

Concubine Mu has already been cast into the cold palace and stripped of her concubine position. She has her own burial rules after her death, so His Majesty doesn't have to worry about it.

Xiao Rui remained calm, he did not send someone to do the death of Concubine Mu, but speaking too much at this time would arouse His Majesty's suspicion, so he should read the memorial honestly.

As for Yan Xiaoxiao who made the move, she stood quietly by the side, her face calm, and there was not even the slightest worry in her eyes.

On the other side, Emperor Xia said to Hai Dafu: "Send the news to Yinzhou as soon as possible, and tell King Duan that if he wants to come back, I will allow him to come back."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hai Dafu replied.

Afterwards, calm was restored in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and His Majesty did not mention this matter again.

Near noon, Chang Shenghou's 800-mile express report was sent to the palace. Xiao Rui had already guessed the content of the military report, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he still couldn't hide his excitement!

The Canglan Pass was broken, and more than 50,000 Zhao soldiers were killed!

The Zhao army was defeated across the board and withdrew to the west!

Chang Shenghou's 700,000 troops began to attack Zhao Guo in an all-round way!

From the beginning to the end, Great Xia did not take Zhao Guo seriously. Back then, Emperor Xia was able to beat Zhao Guo to his head, but now he thinks that building a majestic pass and pulling up the city wall can stop Da Xia's conquest?

Daxia just didn't want to attack by force, and didn't want to sacrifice too many Erlang's lives. Now the time has come, breaking through Canglan Pass is as easy as pie.

Now, how long can Zhao Guo survive under the siege of Xia and Qin? The two fierce tigers were biting, and the little jackal could only lie on the ground and whine.

When Xiao Rui was excited, he immediately got up and bowed to ask for orders, saying: "Royal father, I want to lead the Iron Dragon Riders to the frontline battlefield! It would be best if I can kill Emperor Zhao! I will pay homage to the spirit of my son, my mother, and my concubine!" "

Emperor Xia nodded and said with emotion: "I promised you that as long as the Canglan Gate is broken, you will be allowed to send troops. Now it seems that the time has come. When Emperor Zhao harmed your mother and concubine, it is time for him to pay in blood. Hai Dafu, order the cabinet to draw up an order! Let the crown prince be the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, responsible for supervising Zhao's army, and his personal guards are not under the jurisdiction of Chang Shenghou, so they can do things cheaply!"

"Your servant leads the decree!" Xiao Rui immediately thanked him.

Xiao Rui's role in this trip is similar to that of a military supervisor. He can monitor the entire army that conquered Zhao, and report to the court and impeach generals, but he is not allowed to directly interfere in the battle command.

But don't forget that Xiao Rui still holds a gold medal in his hand, which is very powerful, and can control Chang Shenghou at critical times and directly interfere with the battle command. The crown prince has such military power outside, which shows His Majesty's trust in Xiao Rui.

In addition, his five thousand personal guards are not under the jurisdiction of Marquis Chang Sheng, so he can go wherever he wants, which is why His Majesty gave him the right to lead troops flexibly in battle.

After thanking you, Xiao Rui stood up and said with a smile: "Father, the ministers will make arrangements there."

The meaning of going to Zhao country is completely different from that of going to Qi country. This time it is for revenge, which is what you must do as a son of man.

"Go." Emperor Xia waved his hand, and then continued to review his memorial. He didn't show much concern for Xiao Rui's expedition, but only raised his head after Xiao Rui left the palace, with an emotional expression.

Hai Dafu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Your Highness is resourceful. He has many advisers and masters like a cloud. He will surely return in triumph!"

"Prince Chu is in command. If the news spreads to Zhao Du, Zhao Huang will fight at all costs. His trip can be regarded as a bait to make Zhao Huang willingly jump into the pit!" Xia Huang said.

...

Xiao Rui left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and immediately said to Li Yuanfang and Dian Wei: "Gather the guards quickly, the auxiliary soldiers prepare horses and food, and prepare to go to Zhao State!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Li Yuanfang and Dian Wei were overjoyed, they were finally able to fight on the battlefield again, and they were still fighting against Zhao Guo. It was so exciting just thinking about it.

The two immediately went out of the palace to prepare, while Xiao Rui went to Zhan Shifu and met Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Zhang Liang and Xiao He.

Xiao Rui explained the purpose of coming, and the four of them were also gearing up, very excited.

"The four discuss and discuss, who will follow me to Zhao Guo?" Xiao Rui asked.

Jia Xu caressed his beard and said: "Ovary is the best candidate for strategizing and martial arts. During this time, Guo Jia also felt that he was weak and could not fight with His Highness, so he started to strengthen his training early on, and he also took meat Buddha alchemy. The elixir made to strengthen the body, and now I can fight on the battlefield with His Highness. As for me, this old bone is ignored, I will stay and guard Zhan Shifu, and assist Xiao He to accumulate food for His Highness, against the future. Bad weather coming."

Ever since Xiao Rui had more counselors around him, Jia Xu began to display his lazy character. Xiao Rui also knew his habits. Being wise and safe was his first goal. There were no other counselors around Xiao Rui in the early stage, and he was systematically loyal. The speed limited him, so he had to do it himself and make plans for everything. Now with Guo Jia, Zhang Liang, and Xiao He, hehe...he can relax.

How dangerous it is to go out to fight, if the rain of arrows that don't have long eyes hits the body, wouldn't it be dead.

So Xiao Rui didn't force him, but looked at Zhang Liang and Guo Jia, and asked, "Zifang, Guo Jia, come with me?"

"It's my subordinate's honor!" Zhang Liang and Guo Jia immediately stood up and responded.

Xiao Rui nodded and continued: "This time is more dangerous than the trip to Qi, because if Emperor Zhao is not killed, the palace will not return to the court! So this trip is dangerous, and I rely on the two of you to advise me!"

Zhang Liang and Guo Jia cupped their hands and said with a smile: "If you don't kill Emperor Zhao, you won't pay it back! This subordinate is very honored!"

Afterwards, Xiao Rui left Zhan Shifu and asked Guo Jia and Zhang Liang to prepare as well.

Back in the East Palace, Xiao Rui called Zhuge Liuying and Li Yuanfang, and told him where he was going. The two women knew that Xiao Rui had to go, so they just told him to pay attention to safety and return safely.

Xiao Rui talked love with the two wives, had a warm dinner in the evening, and played a game before going to bed, which was a carnival before parting.

At the same time, the palace's decree was quickly announced. The news that His Majesty appointed the prince as the censor of the right capital to supervise the conquest of Zhao's army spread all over the capital. Snatch it back... to capture a Concubine Hui, this time to go to Zhao Guo with great fanfare, isn't it going to destroy the other party?

This action has greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the people. Kyoto is far away from the battlefield. At this time, the fighting spirit is also full of enthusiasm. Many passionate people want to join the army to fight!

The next morning, Xiao Rui personally visited a group of officials, including Li Mingchong, Song Ci, Cui Changwen, Zhongyonghou Zhang Jinfu, Ye Xiu, Du Shaonian, etc. It was a farewell before departure.

In the afternoon, a banquet was held in Jingyuan, and Xiao Qingqing, Zhang Ruoxi, Li Xiuer and others were invited. Everyone cared about Xiao Rui and told him to pay attention to safety, and be careful on the battlefield.

Because of the presence of Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue, Xiao Qingqing and Li Xiu'er did not dare to show too obvious concern. Although the two had a physical relationship with Xiao Rui, they had not disclosed their identities after all.

So the two girls could only secretly express their reluctant love to Xiao Rui while they were free.

The banquet was over, and before Xiao Rui left, he met Yuan Yuan, the concubine of Qi Guohui.

It took a few months to go to Zhao country, and if it was too late, it would have to wait for the New Year, so when Xiao Rui came back, Yuan Yuan probably had already returned to Qi country.

Yuan Yuan looked at Xiao Rui, showed a sincere smile, and said, "I wish you a triumphant return!"

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "When you return to Qi State in the future, don't run around. This time Zhao State is destroyed, and the next target is your Qi State. Be careful not to be captured by me a second time!"

"If there is a second time, I won't leave." Yuan Yuan smiled softly.

Xiao Rui nodded, then turned to leave.

"Your Highness, wait a minute!" Suddenly, Yuan Yuan shouted.

Xiao Rui looked at her.

Yuan Yuan hesitated for a moment, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, and said with a smile: "Although I was captured by His Highness, I don't hate His Highness. On the contrary, I thank His Highness for allowing me to live a comfortable life. In order to express my gratitude, this handkerchief For you. I haven’t embroidered for many years, and my skills are rusty.”

Xiao Rui took the handkerchief, and saw a landscape embroidered on it, the boat was rippling, the willow trees were blowing in the breeze, and there were two deck chairs by the river, it was the scenery of Xiao Rui taking her on a trip.

"The craftsmanship is very good, thank you." Xiao Rui put the handkerchief in his arms.

Yuan Yuan nodded, took a deep look at Xiao Rui, turned around and returned to the house.

Xiao Rui also left gracefully.

Early in the morning on the third day, Xiao Rui in military uniform led five thousand iron dragon riders to set off!

In order to show the arrogance of the prince's personal guards, I made a special trip from the city. The common people saw off the road, looking at the flickering lance front, at the bright bright armor, at the armored horse, Wuqianerlang Murderous, such a brave army on the battlefield, is the enemy's nightmare!

If the common people shout loudly, they will cheer up from the bottom of their hearts.

Xiao Rui waved his hand and went out of the city to ride horses.

After walking for more than ten miles, they met the waiting auxiliary soldiers, and the two sides met and continued to set off.

It will take more than ten days to go to join Chang Shenghou's army, which is nearly three thousand miles away. Although the auxiliary soldiers carry the horses for transfer, they are not in time and cannot wear out the horses, so they hurry The time is longer.

For this expedition to Zhao, the counselors relied on Zhang Liang and Guo Jia, Gongye led the spear and falcon, Li Yuanfang, Dianwei, Yang Youji, and Wu Zhanfa were the four generals, and the rest were the Iron Dragon Knight and the auxiliary soldiers.

It should be mentioned that there was another person who followed him.

Who is it?

Arjuna!

This is Zhang Liang's suggestion. He thinks that A'Zhu's superb disguise technique is very useful, and it can have unexpected effects at critical moments. Coincidentally, A'Zhu had already returned to the capital before departure, Xiao Rui asked her what she meant, and A'Zhu agreed.

For the convenience of marching, A'Zhu deliberately disguised herself as a man, and the soldiers of the Iron Dragon Riders did not know her identity.

In this way, the journey began.
