The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

His Majesty died, the crown prince was about to die, and Empress Zhou Xiangyun's heart was full of sadness.

It's just that her sorrow is not because of His Majesty, not because of the love that the king died and I was still alive, and it is not because of worrying about the future of Daxia, but because of her son Chu Wang who died too early. Emperor?

His own son is the son of the son, and His Majesty did not make the son the heir apparent when he was there. Now that His Majesty is dead, the rest of the people must follow the etiquette. It is a pity...it is still sad.

Wiping the teardrops from his eyes, Zhou Xiangyun looked at Xiao Mingying and asked, "Is the prince's situation really serious?"

Xiao Mingying nodded, and said sadly: "It is suspected to be highly poisonous, but until now I haven't even figured out what kind of poison it is, how to detoxify it? Hua Tuo's medical skills are better than the imperial physician, and he has received the kindness of His Royal Highness. If there is one way, he will try his best. But now, it is too difficult."

Zhou Xiangyun gritted his teeth, not letting the joy in his heart be exposed at the corners of his mouth.

Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui, you have today too! Deserve it, deserve it!

"If the crown prince dies, who should inherit the throne?" Afterwards, Zhou Xiangyun asked the most concerned question.

Xiao Mingying said: "It should be Jin Wang Xiao Lie! Jin Wang is the eldest son of His Majesty. The eldest son is not here, so we need to have an eldest son. Only in this way can we be convincing, and other princes and civil and military officials will not raise objections. Moreover, Jin Wang is talented in his studies. Fame and virtue are not lacking, and they can govern Great Xia well! This is the conclusion reached by this king and Master Li after a long period of communication."

Li Mingchong also said: "Your Majesty, it is most suitable for His Royal Highness Jin Wang to inherit the great rule. I don't know what the Empress Dowager thinks?"

Zhou Xiangyun couldn't help sneering, and said: "The eldest son is not here, and the eldest son is needed. Why didn't the first son be established when the first son was there? If the first son was established as the prince early according to the rules, would His Majesty be killed? Will this happen today? Now When you think about the establishment of the eldest son, why did you go there earlier? There must be a cause and an effect, and all of this today is caused by Xiao Rui!"

Xiao Mingying and Li Mingchong didn't dare to refute, Zhou Xiangyun was furious, and if he clicked again, he would explode.

After venting, Zhou Xiangyun continued: "Since your majesty doesn't pay attention to establishing a son, why should you follow the establishment of an eldest son? You should choose the most suitable prince to inherit the rule. Looking at the remaining six princes, Jin Wang Xiao Lie loves to read, but he is angry with books. It’s too heavy, so there’s no way His Majesty’s prestige of commanding millions of troops to kill the Quartet. His personality is too soft, and he is definitely not suitable to be an emperor. Wu Wang Xiao Ze, who spends his days in the mountains and rivers, paints all day long, let him continue to be happy Prince. Duan Wang Xiao Feng, hmph, a martial artist can fight wars but lacks the strategy to govern the country, so he can’t. Ming Wang Xiao Yuan, who was summoned back after being demoted to Fuzhou, is not as good as the previous few. King Jing Xiao Jing, Da Can Xia's emperor be a cripple? In the end, only King Tang is left!"

"Xiao Yan, king of the Tang Dynasty, is eighteen years old, young, and has good plasticity. I have read his Journey to the West, and he can write this book. Naturally, there is no problem with his literary talent, and there are many ways of living in the world in the book, which can be seen by the king of Tang Dynasty. Although he is young, he understands everything. Even, there are many principles of governing the country in the text. If he is allowed to inherit the Datong, and then be assisted by Prince Zhou and Lord Li, within a few years, he might become a wise king! Therefore, my suggestion is that the king of Tang should be the crown prince and inherit the great line!"

"How do you two agree?"

Xiao Mingying and Li Mingchong were taken aback for a moment, they didn't expect that the queen would elect Tang Wang Xiaoyan.

"Your Majesty's analysis is thorough, but if the eldest son King Jin is not established, but King Tang is established, I am worried that other princes will not accept it, and there will be wars at that time." Xiao Mingying expressed her inner worries.

Empress Zhou Xiangyun nodded. If you don't follow the rules, the other princes won't. Now is the best time to fight for the throne. For the sake of the throne, will the other princes be obedient?

Let's do it, whoever wins is who!

Zhou Xiangyun seemed to have figured it out a long time ago, and she only heard her shout: "Then let the six princes be invited to the palace, imprisoned by the imperial army, and after announcing the news of His Majesty's death, make a quick decision on the king of the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Yan. Inherit the Great Order! If this is the case, if the problem is solved in such a swift manner, even if the other princes think of fighting, how will they start? When the new emperor inherits the Great Rule and announce it to the world, are you still afraid?"

Li Mingchong was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is clever, this method is great."

But Xiao Mingying sighed, and said: "Your Majesty, I want to wait another two days to see how the prince is doing. If I really have no way to recover, then follow my mother's idea, how about it?"

Zhou Xiangyun glanced at Xiao Rui who was on the bed, walked straight over, and then sat by the bed and made the quilt for him.

Everyone present thought it was her kindness, but who knew that her left hand hidden in her sleeve was actually holding a silver needle, which slipped into Xiao Rui's wrist when she was tidying the quilt. If Xiao Rui was really pretending to be unconscious, it would be difficult to fake it .

But Xiao Rui is still suffocating, and may die at any time.

Zhou Xiangyun stood up, nodded and said, "Okay! Wait a day or two."

"Yes! Besides, please don't tell anyone about His Majesty's death." Xiao Mingying said.

Zhou Xiangyun said: "This is a major event, I understand."

Afterwards, the queen left the East Palace and returned to Changchun Palace.

The scene is not over until the queen is confirmed to be gone.

Everyone recalled whether they had revealed their secrets. This is a drama without rehearsal. Once the secrets are revealed like a joke, it will be troublesome.

Fortunately, everyone knew that the situation was important, and it was done in one step. Of course, Yan Xiaoxiao, Zhuge Liuying, and Li Ruoxue were just acting in a group. The three of them lowered their heads and pretended to cry so as not to show off. The main thing was to see Xiao Mingying and Li Mingchong's acting skills.

Then again, they are all old fritters in the officialdom, which one is not an old drama player who acts every day!

Afterwards, Xiao Rui was given the antidote. After waking up, Xiao Rui raised his left hand and said in pain: "Who pierced this palace, so cruel!"

Only then did everyone see the pinhole on Xiao Rui's palm, and immediately understood that it was the queen's fault. Since His Majesty had already arrived, no one dared to complain.

Emperor Xia glanced at Xiao Rui's injury, then waved his hand and said: "You have worked hard, go down and have a rest, I will talk to the crown prince."

Everyone understood, and everyone retreated obediently.

Xiao Rui hurriedly tore off the props on his face. This was made in a hurry by Azhu. It was made with the skin of an old man. Only when he put it on his face did Xiao Rui look exhausted. He was tortured by the poison and was about to die.

Only Emperor Xia and Xiao Rui were left in the room.

Xia Huang smiled and said: "The queen blames me, I can understand, since ancient times, the eldest son of the first line will inherit the throne, but I have been delaying, the queen complains, and I will not be angry. But this time the queen came, after all Whether it was unintentional, intentional, or a pawn of the commander behind the scenes, I can’t see clearly now. But she suggested that King Tang be the emperor, what do you think? You have the best relationship with King Tang, so you might as well talk about it.”

Xiao Rui said: "Father, my son thinks that it is reasonable for the empress to disagree with the king of Jin being promoted. The mother and concubine of Jin is the empress of the imperial concubine. If the king of Jin ascends the throne, the relationship between the empress and the empress will be even stronger. It's bad, this is what the empress doesn't want to see."

A biological mother, a queen, once King Jin becomes emperor, the rest of Zhou Xiangyun's life will be miserable. She has oppressed Lin Yu'er for these years, and now the feng shui has changed, and she will suffer, so he absolutely does not allow King Jin to inherit the rule.

Xiao Rui continued: "Except for King Jin, among the others, I didn't expect that the Empress would choose King Tang."

"Who do you think she should choose?" Emperor Xia asked with a smile.

"King Duan." Xiao Rui said.

"The reason." Xia Huang asked.

Xiao Rui explained: "Father, if what my son said is disrespectful, please forgive me. My son thinks that Queen Mother and Concubine Duan hanged herself. If King Duan ascends to the throne, the empress is the empress dowager, which is most suitable for the empress. beneficial."

These words are indeed disrespectful, what Xiao Rui meant, the empress recommended the new emperor for her own benefit, not for Daxia.

Naturally, Emperor Xia would not reprimand Xiao Rui for his concern, he asked with a smile: "But the empress recommended King Tang."

"That's right, this is also what my son can't understand." Xiao Rui nodded.

Emperor Xia took a sip of tea and continued: "Don't hide it, just talk about it."

Xiao Rui chuckled, and then said: "Father, the empress came here this time, and she insisted on seeing Father, so it can be seen that she did not come here unintentionally, but came here on purpose, just to verify Father's situation. And when the empress found out that something happened to her father and her son was dying, the empress offered to support the king of Tang, which meant that supporting the king of Tang would allow the empress to get what she wanted, which was even greater than supporting the king. .Then who gave the empress the benefits? It must be the person behind the scenes. Then it also proves that the person behind the scenes did all this to let Tang Wang take the throne!"

"Does King Tang have the ability to plan? My son thinks that King Tang's mind is not able to support these schemes. Then it must be someone else, and someone who is closely related to King Tang. For example...Jing Guogong."

"Reminiscent of the fact that after Lu Su and Lu Zhi entered the capital, they used the help of Lord Jingguo, and it was Lord Jingguo who begged his father to let Lu Zhi be a female official in the East Palace. All these problems made my ministers have to doubt that Lord Jingguo was among them. Did it play any role?"

After saying these words, Xiao Rui fell silent.

Xiao Yan has a childlike heart, so it is hard to guarantee that his elders will not plan for him. And now it seems that this plan is very ingenious and almost successful.

Emperor Xia smiled and said, "It's okay to have doubts, but it's okay to have no solid evidence."

Xiao Rui immediately understood Emperor Xia's reminder that since he doubted Duke Jing, he had to investigate him carefully. While there are still two days left, he might be able to find something unexpected.

Later, Xiao Rui asked Li Yuanfang to go to Zhan Shifu and started to track down Lord Yasukuni. At the same time, Wei Zhongxian of the East Palace also received instructions from Hai Dafu to send his confidants to secretly investigate Lord Yasukuni.

...

In the middle of the night, Xiao Rui sat in the small garden behind the house and watched the moon.

The road to becoming an emperor is full of thorns, because the throne is too tempting, and if all the hidden dangers are not eliminated, even if Xiao Rui sits on the throne now, he will not be at ease.

When Xiao Rui was feeling emotional, Yan Xiaoxiao came over at some point.
