The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 88: Sense of Presence

Beginning in the early dynasty, civil and military officials entered the palace in an orderly manner.

On the left are civil servants, in three rows, headed by Li Mingchong, the chief assistant of the cabinet.

On the right are generals, also three rows of columns, headed by Ye Xiu, the governor of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion and the Chinese Army Commander's Mansion.

After dozens of people entered the hall, they stood in an orderly manner, lowered their heads slightly, and faced the northern dragon seat to show their respect.

Xiao Rui stood in a corner of the civil servant camp, obediently supervising.

After a while, with the voice of Eunuch Hai, "Your Majesty is here!"

Emperor Xia walked in from outside the hall, against the incomparably dark sky behind him, he looked like a god who broke through the darkness, and the five-clawed golden dragon on his body shone with golden light under the bright lamp in the hall, lifelike. He walked steadily on the avenue in the middle of the Golden Palace. At this moment, Xiao Rui hid behind the civil servants and witnessed all this, and finally understood why everyone wanted to be the emperor.

Emperor Xia went up the dragon steps and sat on the dragon chair.

"Long live my emperor." The civil and military officials bowed their hands and saluted.

Emperor Xia said: "Everyone loves you in peace."

Hai Dafu sang: "Sit!"

Only then did the civil and military officials dare to kneel and sit down.

Xiao Rui in the corner naturally couldn't sit on his knees, he was one of the few officials who was still standing. Standing is more comfortable than kneeling.

Next, Eunuch Hai asked all the officials: "Play early if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do."

After asking three times, the Minister of Honglu Temple took the lead to get up and go out, and said: "I have something to play!"

"Lin Aiqing, what do you want to play?" Emperor Xia asked.

Honglu Temple Qing Lin Yifeng said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the envoys of the Great Yan Kingdom have entered the territory of Great Xia and are expected to arrive in the capital in a month. This time the envoys of the Great Yan Kingdom are led by Princess Linglong, the only daughter of Emperor Yan. This Princess Linglong She has a very high prestige in the Great Yan Kingdom, and is highly valued by the Emperor Yan, who allowed her to be in charge of all decision-making powers during this trip. To show his importance, I implore His Majesty to agree to allow the eldest prince Xiao Lie to take full responsibility for this matter. Honglu Temple and The cooperation of the Ministry of Rites can only demonstrate the importance our Great Xia Kingdom attaches to it."

It's not a secret that the Great Yan Kingdom came to visit, it's just that when it will come, other people don't know the exact time, and they didn't expect it to come so soon.

Xiao Rui blinked, Xia Huang had already entrusted this task to himself, so naturally he would not regret it on the spot, it was up to him what to do.

Emperor Xia smiled and said: "Indeed, the Great Yan Kingdom attaches great importance to visiting. If the Great Xia Kingdom neglects etiquette, it will indeed damage the image and face. It would be more appropriate to send a prince to preside over it. What do you love?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Mingwen, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, hurriedly came out and said: "My minister has played! Your Majesty, according to what I have seen, although the eldest prince has a noble character and is young and old, he has a strong desire to study. The purpose of coming here this time is clear, nothing more than forming an alliance and seeking the help of our Great Xia. If we send an angry prince who is too bookish to take charge of this matter, I am worried that there will be mistakes in the appointment of the alliance. Therefore, I suggest that let The second prince is in charge, and the second prince Xiao Yiheng has both civil and military skills, and is born of the empress, with a distinguished status, which can better demonstrate the importance I attach to Great Xia."

Xiao Rui is happy, Lin Yifeng from Honglu Temple is the uncle of the first prince Xiao Lie, and the left servant of the Ministry of Rites is the uncle of the second prince Xiao Yiheng.

"Dear dear ones, do you have any recommendations?" Emperor Xia continued to ask without being confused.

Immediately afterwards, officials recommended the third prince, fourth prince, fifth prince, and sixth prince... Even Xiao Yan was recommended by an official.

Although Xiao Yan doesn't form a party, his mother and concubine have connections with his grandfather.

Only Xiao Rui is lonely and has no official recommendation.

"It would be great if no one recommends it, so I can be at ease, hey..." Xiao Rui couldn't help sighing, and at the same time couldn't help guessing in his heart, if this group of civil servants who were fighting with each other knew that Emperor Xia had handed over the task I gave it to Xiao Rui, but I don't know what to think.

After being recommended by all the officials, Lin Yifeng of Honglu Temple continued to fight for Xiao Lie, and said: "Your Majesty, I still feel that the eldest prince is the most suitable! I heard that although Princess Linglong is a woman, she has a great literary talent. Masquerading as a man, he took part in the imperial examination and won the first three yuan. It was not until the imperial examination that his true identity was discovered. It was passed down as a good story in the Yan Kingdom! The eldest prince Shan Wen is the most outstanding among the several princes. I believe that he will meet with Princess Linglong Because of the sympathy of the literary talents, it is more conducive to the promotion of the alliance."

"If the paper is good, the second prince is not bad!" Zhou Mingwen shouted.

"The Eighth Prince Xiao Jing is worshiped under Mr. Qiu, and his literary talent is also outstanding."

"The princes are all studying in the Jiwen Palace, which one is not a rich man?"

"My lord, have you thought about this sentence? His Royal Highness the fourth prince also learned from the rich and the five chariots?"

"Not counting him!"

Xiao Feng was stabbed innocently

Xiao Rui really wanted to move a ponytail and bring some melon seeds to watch the play quietly. Look, this live broadcast of civil servants' fighting skills is more intense than listening to books. No wonder it's an hour or two every morning. When will this quarrel continue? head. I don't know how the general on the opposite side could not hold back his expressionless face. Look... Zhongyong Hou Zhang Jinfu frowned and his eyes were lost. Is he asleep or thinking about national affairs?

The most wonderful thing was that Emperor Xia was not bothered, he was willing to do so, he was at the top and listened to the officials' suggestions, and when he felt that the time was almost right, he coughed lightly.

In an instant, the arguing officials were silent, and they all returned to their seats and knelt down.

"Since your loves are eager to recommend my princes, and each has their own reasons, if I appoint them randomly, it will be difficult to convince the public, and it will be unfair. It also happens that the princes are in the same class today, so let them speak out Make up your own mind." Emperor Xia set the tone.

"Your Majesty is holy!" All the officials shouted together.

After the words fell, the eight princes came out and stood in the center of the hall.

Emperor Xia glanced at it and said with a smile: "I remember that I seem to have nine princes."

The eight princes glanced at each other and saw that Xiao Rui was not among them.

Xiao Rui had no choice but to stand out from the corner, cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to my father, my son is now on duty in front of the palace to monitor the censor, and is working diligently to supervise all officials. This is the job that my father arranged for my son. We must do our best to fulfill our responsibilities, so this is still the most important thing.”

Xiao Rui was eager to abandon the task of entertaining the Great Yan Kingdom, so he just took this opportunity. Anyway, Emperor Xia only mentioned it to himself, and did not make an announcement.

Emperor Xia nodded with a smile, and said with relief: "I am very pleased that King Xian has such a dedication to his work. Very good, then you continue to supervise."

Xiao Rui is overjoyed, so to speak, father is no longer demanding on himself, beautiful!

Unexpectedly, Emperor Xia looked at Xiao Lie and the others, and said solemnly: "You should learn more from King Xian. Since you have assigned positions for you, you must forget your identities. The first is the position, and the second is the position." It is the status of prince. Arranging a five-month term for you is an attempt to see if you have the ability to take on the role. King Xian has this ability, and I will consider extending his term. He is willing to be the supervisor of the imperial censor. I have been in front of the palace to monitor the censor."

The corner of Xiao Rui's mouth twitched instantly.

Fuck!

Is this a threat from the royal father? If you don't want to be an errand, then you will always be the supervisory censor in front of the palace, and want to leave the capital to inspect the state capital? Daydreaming! Then all your plans will be messed up.

"Yes!" The eight princes were somewhat apprehensive, but they still agreed.

With a mournful face, Xiao Rui raised his hand and asked, "Father, I haven't finished my son's words yet, why did my father praise you in advance, which made my son very flattered."

"Oh? Didn't you finish what King Xian said?" Xia Huang deliberately surprised: "It seems that I am impatient, what else do you want to say?"

Xiao Rui could only bite the bullet and said: "I think the supervision task arranged by the emperor is important, but this is a kind of ego spirit, and it is a mentality of self-denial and self-denial. The envoy of Dayan Kingdom is an envoy of the country. If you can be in charge of the major affairs of the country, this is the spirit of the self. Nothing in the world is as important as the national affairs. Therefore, I am ashamed of my incompetence just now, and I beg my father to agree. I am willing to learn from the other princes , and we must work hard to win the important task of entertaining Dayan envoys this time, and it must not affect our own work."

It's finally round, it's not easy.

Xiao Rui swears that he must never play Xiao Jiujiu in front of Emperor Xia in the future, he can't play with him!

The next moment, the other princes glanced at Xiao Rui with hostility, are you deliberately trying to show your presence?

Just like this shameless play first suppress and then rise?
