The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 178: : Make a deal with your Majesty

"Father, my son wants to go to Yangzhou for a few days!"

After entering the palace to meet Emperor Xia, Xiao Rui said his request to enter the palace.

Emperor Xia was reviewing the memorial without raising his head, and said, "No!"

Xiao Rui pleaded: "Father, I heard about an unjust case in Yangzhou. The circumstances were so bad that I could not bear it. Please go to Yangzhou to monitor it."

"Oh, is it? I didn't listen to the Xing Department and Dali Temple! Where did you hear it?" Xia Huang asked.

Xiao Rui said: "It is the people who have been wronged who entrusted their dreams to the children. Because the powerful officials involved are relatively high, neither the Ministry of Criminal Affairs nor Dali Temple has received any news. If you are entrusted with dreams, you are obliged to go to Yangzhou to monitor one or two. As a child of the father and the emperor, you must have this kind of consciousness!"

"Tuomeng? This story is very fresh, why don't you give me a dream?" Xia Huang finally raised his head and said: "If this is the case, then send other supervisors to Yangzhou Mansion. You are a prince, why do you do it yourself?"

Xiao Rui said, "If you don't entrust your father with a dream, it is because your father is too majestic, and you are scared to death before he gets closer. In addition, the dignitaries involved have a higher status, and the children are afraid that even if they go to monitor the Yushi, they will not check any more. Things come."

"Then send Hao Yun. He is the Yushi of the left deputy. He is temporarily acting as the governor of the Yudu Yushi and is in charge of the supervision of the world. Based on his character, he led the emperor to investigate, even if he was the prefect of Yangzhou. If you sin, you have to confess your guilt and slay the law!" Xia Huang laughed.

Xiao Rui was speechless. It seemed that he couldn't deceive his father. No matter how brash and enmity you said, if you don't need to go, you won't let you go.

"Father, my son is really not going to play this time!" Xiao Rui said euphemistically.

Emperor Xia glanced at him and asked, "So, the last time you went to Pudu Temple to pray for blessings, did you play?"

Xiao Rui said embarrassedly: "Father, the past is over. Let's say this time. The son will go to Yangzhou and promise to save people. There is absolutely no other thoughts. Besides, if you want to go to Yangzhou to play, you have to celebrate the New Year. I went to Yangzhou in March, and it’s a bit early now."

Xia Huang said: "The New Year's Eve is approaching, you stay in the capital, and the champion Hou will enter Beijing immediately. If you leave Beijing at this time, if you are known by him, are you afraid that he will hide, or do you disrespect him?"

Xiao Rui scratched his head and really didn't think about this problem. Forget it, there are only five days left from Laba, and you can hurry up once you go. After all, after the champion Hou enters Beijing, it is impossible for him to visit the first time. He, he has to report on his duties first, and some things are to be done.

"My son went to Yangzhou to save a person and came back immediately. It won't be long before he asks his father to approve." Xiao Rui pleaded again.

Xia Huang was puzzled and asked, "You insist on doing this, who are you going to save?"

Xiao Rui said, "It's a man named Li Yuanfang, who is loyal and righteous. Sword Jiuxiao went to Great Zhao Kingdom. For some reason, he walked around Yangzhou and met him very well. However, he offended Yangzhou Cishi's son, so he was imprisoned. Jian Jiuxiao suggested that he seek help from Erchen, so he entrusted him to send a letter."

"Oh? Jian Jiuxiao's idea? To get acquainted with Jian Jiuxiao, his character wouldn't be bad if he wanted to come. After offending the son of Yangzhou governor, the general supervisory official did not dare to come forward, even Hao Yun had to run into a wall. You know Yangzhou Who is the governor?" Xia Huang asked.

Xiao Rui shook his head. He was not familiar with what the chiefs of various states and provinces knew, but Yangzhou was adjacent to the capital, and it was also a wealthy land. It was considered to be the top wealthy prefectures of the Great Xia Kingdom. The ranks of the third grade are poor, and they are far away from the capital, that is, it is a local snake, and even more powerful.

Xia Huangdao: "You don't know anything, what else are you going to?"

Xiao Rui scratched his head and said, "Father, what price will the children pay to go there?"

In the end, Xiao Rui had no choice but to negotiate with Xia Huang.

As soon as he said this, Xia Huang was happy, and at the same time, Yan Xiaoxiao, who was writing on the side, secretly worried about Xiao Rui, and looked at him vaguely with a pair of beautiful eyes.

Emperor Xia said: "Are you going to make a deal with me? You are so bold!"

Xiao Rui nodded, and said: "Father, the children are very timid! I just think that the country and the country can trade, why not the father and the children?"

Emperor Xia pondered for a moment and said, "Okay! Since you insist on doing this, your departure from Beijing after that year will be delayed by one and a half months, and the imperial examination will be over before you go out."

According to Xiao Rui's plan, after the Lunar New Year, Xiao Rui served as a supervisor to inspect the prefecture in early February. He went out for a year, but now it's better. He only went to Yangzhou for a few days at the cost of a one and a half month delay. This was extremely reluctant to Xiao Rui, but thinking of the imperial examination after the Chinese New Year, that is, the Chunwei Grand Examination, the liberal arts examination and the martial arts examination were only held in three years. It would be a pity if I had left Beijing and missed this event.

"Okay! Erchen promised!" Xiao Rui replied with a fist.

Emperor Xia nodded and said: "If this is the case, then I allow you to go to Yangzhou. But for safety's sake, I will ask Zhuge Yuanba to accompany you on the journey!"

"Thank you Father for being concerned!" Xiao Rui replied, and then he went out of the palace.

Returning to the palace, he immediately notified Wu Zhanfa and Li Kui to prepare to pack. Without Jia Xu, he still had to stay in the capital to keep an eye on the progress of Zhang Yizhi and Li Xiu'er.

With Zhuge Yuanba, Hai Dafu had sent his confidant to inform him that he would come to Xiao Rui when he was ready to pack.

At the same time, Xiao Rui also learned who the Yangzhou governor is.

Yangzhou governor, Li Tang.

The Li family was prominent in Daxia. One was the Li family in Bozhou, represented by the Li family of the current cabinet chief, Li Mingyang. The second is Yangzhou Li family, represented by Sui Guogong, grandfather of the eighth prince Xiao Jing. The two Li families are not related by blood, but they are both prominent families in the Great Xia Kingdom.

Li Tang is the eldest son of Sui Guogong, and now serves as Yangzhou governor. He is a unique figure in Yangzhou. The local aristocratic families and celebrities are under the Li family, but he is the only one who follows.

The concentration of power and prestige created Yangzhou's superiority and prosperity, but the collusion between the family and the family led to the formation of parties and even corruption and bribery.

It stands to reason that Emperor Xia should have dealt with Li Tang, the governor of Yangzhou, and shouldn't let him serve in Yangzhou. However, Emperor Xia seemed to favor the Li family and did not intend to move Li Tang for a long time. Coupled with the fact that Shang Jin and the Li family, who are in the official department, are married, the Emperor Xia has married Xiao Jing and the granddaughter of Shang Jin, and the official department will not be a stumbling block. I believe that Li Tang's position as a governor will not dare. move.

Xiao Rui went to Yangzhou this time to rescue Li Yuanfang from Li Tang. I don't know what will happen. After all, Xiao Rui and Xiao Jing are in a competitive relationship. When Guo Jianglong encounters a local snake, it is easy to cause sparks.

In the afternoon, Zhuge Yuanba came to the palace.

Xiao Rui took Wu Zhanfa and Li Kui, all put on ordinary clothes, and the four quietly left the capital, galloping on horseback, and came to Yangzhou Mansion.

The capital was two hundred miles away from Yangzhou, and the four of them rode all good horses. They had a rest on the way and arrived at Yangzhou the next morning.

When he first entered Yangzhou Mansion, Xiao Rui felt the prosperity of this place.

The prosperity of Yangzhou Prefecture is not like that of Beijing, where the flow of people and flowers are like brocades, like hot oil, a little splash of water will burst.

The prosperity of Yangzhou Mansion reveals a little comfort.

Between the green tiles and red walls, the bridge is painted by smoke and willow. Above the eaves of the pavilion, there is a wind curtain and a green curtain. There are people walking on the busy street, but there is lightness underneath.

One city is prosperous and half city is smoke, so many people in the world are drunk and immortal. If you ask where to go in the world, listen to Xiaogu Yangzhou in a drunk.

The group of four found an inn to rest, and Xiao Rui asked Wu Zhanfa to find out what Li Yuanfang had committed, which was considered a preparation.

Zhuge Yuanba wondered: "The person you want to save is really the pinnacle of the fifth stage?"

"That's still false! Otherwise, my dignified Highness King Xian, will he come here himself? Just leave the matter to the next person and do it." Xiao Rui smiled.

Zhuge Yuanba glanced at him and asked, "Among the hundreds of civil and military officials, who do you know? Unless your Majesty orders it, it's not that easy to take people away from Li Tang!"

Xiao Rui said depressed, "Could you not stop me from hitting me? It's the prince anyway!"

"You have to keep fighting to make you work hard. If you want to save someone who offends Li Tang's son, he certainly wasn't imprisoned on a formal charge. It is a private imprisonment, so you can't oppress Li Tang as a prince and let him release him. People. Even if you ask Li Tang for someone, he will tell you that there is no such person!" Zhuge Yuan is overbearing.

Xiao Rui nodded, and said: "I understand, wait until Wu's tactics have been investigated, let's talk about it! I'm hungry too, Li Kui, let the inn guy prepare some food."

"Good!" Li Kui was hungry a long time ago, so he was eager to handle it.

When the three of them finished their meal, Wu Zhanfa returned.

"His Royal Highness, I found it all." Wu Zhanfa said: "Li Yuanfang was indeed imprisoned in Yangzhou Prison. He was arrested by the prefect of Yangzhou, because Li Yuanfang injured Li Tang's son Li Jianwen, and the prefect of Yangzhou concocted Li Jianwen and took the lead. Li Yuanfang was arrested. First he was tortured, and now he is still detained. I bribed a jailer and inquired that although Li Yuanfang was injured ~www.wuxiahere.com~ but there was no life worry, but I heard that only Li Jianwen was injured. Okay, I will kill Li Yuanfang myself!"

"Do it yourself?" Xiao Rui was taken aback, and asked, "Is this son of the governor so arrogant?"

Wu Zhanfa nodded and said: "This Li Jianwen is a demon in Yangzhou. He is cruel and kills. His reputation in Yangzhou is extremely despicable. He often dominates good women's activities. If anyone is not pleasing to the eye, he will do it. Caosuga is used to fate. I don’t know how many lives have died in his hands, but Li Tang and the prefect of Yangzhou have covered him up, so nothing has happened so far!"

Xiao Rui nodded, and then asked, "Where is Li Tang? Has this Yangzhou provincial governor checked it out?"

Wu Zhanfa nodded, with a strange expression, and said: "I checked it, and it is strange to say that Li Tang is still a good official and has done a lot of practical things for the people, but because of his son, the people are both grateful and hate him. Li Tang is an infatuated person. He has only one married wife, Li Jianwen's mother, but unfortunately died of an illness, so he is very fond of Li Jianwen, even for a tiger."

Xiao Rui nodded. It seems that this trip to Yangzhou is not as simple as rescuing Li Yuanfang.

Just after the thought, a beep sounded from the system.

"Ding Dong..."
