The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

The demise of the State of Zhao had no effect on Xiao Rui's life, and he was now busy counting money. First of all, the money from the Changan Yang family was sent over, except for the money given to the treasury and your majesty, the rest was sent to the Zhan Shifu.

Secondly, Hao Yun, the deputy chief of the left, inspected the prefecture, and the job of clearing the land to inspect the land was basically over. The Ministry of Households was collecting data. Hao Yun also checked a lot of corrupt officials during his inspection of the prefecture and United Dali Temple, and made money. Some silver.

　　 In the end, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate investigated the embezzlement of grain storage. Corrupt officials with serious circumstances could not escape the consequences of looting their homes, and the money was sent back to Kyoto.

　　 It's already the end of the year, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate has also made a statistics. In the past six months, the Procuratorate and Dali Temple have checked 108 officials, all of whom had rank seven or higher. This record is the sum of the previous five years. As for the small officials and local officials with lower official positions, the procuratorate does not bother to count them.

　　 With this credit, Du Youth was drunk that night. I really floated, floated, and even checked so many people without knowing it. If the relatives and friends of these officials hold grudges, wouldn't they want to avenge themselves?

So on the second day, the young man Du went to see the prince and tried to blame the prince on the dirty water. He also went to the cabinet and circled a few times. The impact has risen sharply, and I was really incompetent before, and I didn't lead the court.

　　 Everyone said that the effect was not bad, to avoid becoming a target of the public, but his little actions also reached Xiao Rui's ears.

　　 Xiao Rui couldn't laugh or cry. Du Young man is really a talent. Forget it, he has a lot of adults, so I don't care about him.

　　 Now that Zhan Shifu has enough money, there is no need to worry about the financial situation in the coming year. Other things are going on steadily. It is rare for Xiao Rui to relax and enjoy the comfort of the approaching New Year.

　　 As the saying goes, Laba is the New Year.

　　 After drinking Laba Congee, Xiao Rui could feel the excitement of the New Year even if he was in the palace.

　　Time came to the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

　　 Zhang Ruoxi’s younger brothers Zhang Lianchuan and Tian Boguang have returned to Beijing to report on their jobs, and Xiao Rui took Zhang Ruoxi back to Zhang’s mansion.

　　 stopped in front of Zhang's mansion gate and saw Zhang Lianchuan waiting in front of the mansion gate early. Seeing his sister and brother-in-law got out of the carriage, he hurriedly greeted him and shouted: "Sister..."

　　 realized that he had missed the courtesy after screaming, and quickly bowed his hands in salute: "Worship your Royal Highness and Niang Niang in a humble position."

　　 Xiao Rui smiled and said, "This trip is to attend a family dinner, and the family does not need to see outsiders."

　　 Zhang Ruoxi took Zhang Lianchuan's arm, looked up and down around him, and smiled: "It's not bad, I am a little stronger, I don't know if Wuyi has grown, I will try you later."

　　 Zhang Lianchuan immediately cried and said, "Sister, you are all a princess, don't do anything if you don't agree, etiquette, rules, understand?"

　　 Zhang Ruoxi immediately stared and hummed: "Your wings are really hard, dare to make fun of me."

　　 Zhang Lianchuan repeatedly begged for mercy, so he moved closer and asked in a low voice, "Sister, do you have it?"

　　 Zhang Ruoxi was taken aback, and asked: "What's the matter?"

　　 "What else can there be, that chant." Zhang Lianchuan patted his stomach.

　　 Zhang Ruoxi was so ashamed that she immediately gave Zhang Lianchuan a kick.

　　 Zhang Lianchuan regretfully said: "It seems that there is no, this kick is so quick. Hey, I still want to be an uncle. I always say that my nephew is like an uncle..."

　　 "Don't..." Xiao Rui hurriedly refused.

　　 Zhang Lianchuan opened his mouth, but he was blocked and he didn't know what to say. He looked at Xiao Rui with a bitter expression on his face. Did he look ugly?

　　 Zhang Ruoxi laughed with joy, Xiao Rui patted Zhang Lianchuan on the shoulder, and said: "Don't be sad, people's looks are destined, and there is no way to solve your complaints, unless..."

　　 "Unless what?" Zhang Lianchuan asked curiously.

　　 Xiao Rui smiled and said nothing, how can ordinary people understand the mystery of big cosmetic surgery?

　　 The three of them entered the mansion, Xiao Rui went to visit Mrs. Zhang and talked with him. Zhang Ruoxi returned to the door after just getting married last time. She stayed in the palace during this period. For the first time she left home for such a long time, she missed her grandmother in her heart.

Xiao Rui asked her to speak with her grandmother, while Xiao Rui was invited to the living room by Zhang Lianchuan, and said mysteriously: "His Royal Highness, when I came from Qi State this time, I brought a person back. This person named him and wanted to see your Majesty. !"

　　 "Where?" Xiao Rui immediately became interested when he heard that it was a visitor from Qi. Could it be his relatives?

　　 Zhang Lianchuan smiled and said: "His Royal Highness wait a moment, I'll go and invite you."

　　 After that, he left in a hurry. After a while, he invited a woman disguised as a man to see the woman's face. Xiao Rui smiled suddenly.

　　The visitor is indeed a relative, Xiao Rui's wife Bai Suzhen.

　　 "After many days, King Xian has become a prince. It is gratifying and congratulating." Bai Suzhen smiled.

　　 Xiao Rui smiled and folded his hands: "Aunt Suzhen is still handsome, I wonder if grandfather, aunt and uncle are in good health?"

　　 Zhang Lianchuan stepped back and let the two communicate well.

Bai Suzhen said: "The health is very good. Don't worry about it. It's just that I've been busy before. Qi Huang is now in distress, so he deliberately asked your grandfather to lead the army against the looting Yuan army, but he was not at ease, plus the court. Minister Wu above objected, the matter has not been finalized yet. But in my opinion, there is no further information."

"Although my grandfather is old, he grows stronger when he is young. When he was young, he was not famous for fighting on the battlefield. Even if he was silent for many years, he still has a reputation. Letting his grandfather come out to fight against the Yuan army can boost morale and find the right person. But Emperor Qi does not expect it. I will do this, the reason is naturally with me." Xiao Rui said.

Bai Suzhen snorted coldly, and said, "Although the reason lies with you, this Qi Huangkong has great ambitions, but he lacks means and strategies. If the country is stable, he can still toss and toss. Now that there are problems, it is troublesome in all directions, he I can't take care of it."

　　 Xiao Rui nodded. Indeed, the current situation in Qi country is terrible. If Qi Huang is not capable enough, it will be difficult to turn the tide.

　　 "Aunt Suzhen came from Qi, besides seeing me, can there be other major issues?" Xiao Rui asked.

　　 Bai Suzhen nodded, and said, "This time I came to you on a special trip. Your grandfather asked me to ask you, is the death of Emperor Zhao related to you?"

　　 "I sent someone to assassinate, but Zhao Guo blocked the news." Xiao Rui admitted.

Bai Suzhen was overjoyed and exclaimed: "Okay! Good kill! Your grandfather heard the news that Emperor Zhao is dead, so he guessed it was your hands. You can avenge your mother, and you will get rid of your grandfather's concerns, otherwise I will blame myself for a lifetime."

　　 My daughter was killed, but I can't do anything to avenge him, I can imagine the internal suffering!

After a pause, Bai Suzhen continued: "The news of the destruction of the State of Zhao is already known in the world. The destruction of a huge country so quickly is beyond imagination. Especially among the people of Qi, there is a wave of fear, thinking that the next one is Qi. Today, the biggest crisis facing Qi is not in Xia and Yuan, but in severe weather and food shortages. When I came, Qi’s food prices had risen by 10%, and the power of food was overwhelmed, and there were no food refugees. Starving to death, now that the New Year is approaching, the dignitaries of Qi are constantly drinking and eating, and they are still in the mood for the New Year. Ordinary people can live with surplus food, and most people are panicked. But those refugees are sad, starving to death, freezing to death, freezing to death. You. My grandfather calculated that after half a year, two or three months, there will be refugees, and they will become more and more distraught. In order to survive, how can people care for laws and regulations? Anyway, it will be a death. Up."

　　 "So to see you this time, in addition to confirming that Emperor Zhao is dead, your grandfather asked me to borrow food from you!"

　　 Bai Suzhen explained his intention.

　　 "How much do you need!" Xiao Rui asked.

　　 Bai Suzhen stretched out a finger and said, "One million stones!"

　　 Xiao Rui gave a wry smile and said, "The quantity is a little bit too much, I won't be able to get it for a while. It will take a while."

　　 One million stone grains, the amount is staggering. If Xiao Rui did not allocate them through the imperial grain depot, but bought them from merchants, it would be much slower.

　　 Bai Suzhen smiled and asked, "Don't you ask about the purpose of borrowing grain?"

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Since my grandfather has spoken, it must be of great use. As for the relief of refugees, or to help the Qi court, that is my grandfather's business. As for the reason I am willing to borrow, it is naturally because my grandfather has spoken. Let's They are relatives. Secondly, I know that one million shi of grain is a drop in the bucket for the current Qi State, and it cannot save Qi State from water and fire."

Bai Suzhen said: "You are right. One million stone of grain is a drop in the bucket~www.wuxiahere.com~ I won’t hide it from you. Your grandfather borrowed grain to be of great use, but it was definitely not a help to the Qi court! Although your grandfather It's a prince, and your uncle is a county prince, but these two princes are a shame. Your aunt and uncle have been wanted and hunted for so many years, and the sense of belonging to Qiguo has long disappeared. Your grandfather has been imprisoned so much. In 1970, his daughter was also calculated to die, and he had no feelings for Qiguo.

　　 "I want to save the thousands of people in Qi country, not by relief, but by welcoming the new life. So your grandfather borrowed grain to prepare to support the troublemakers so that they can raise their arms and shout to overthrow Qi country!"

　　 "Huh?" Xiao Rui was quite surprised that his grandfather actually supported the refugee uprising!

　　 "Ms. Suzhen, what you said is true? Once this matter spreads out, grandfather will be charged with treason, and his lifetime reputation will be destroyed." Xiao Rui said.

　　 Bai Suzhen sneered and said, "It has been ruined."

　　 Xiao Rui was startled, then nodded.

　　 For Xiao Rui’s grandfather, his daughter married the emperor of the enemy country, and his grandson was the prince. The officials of the Qi state had long regarded them as enemies, and the crimes they suffered in those days showed that Qi state’s unrequited righteousness towards them.

　　 "If I want to get 1 million stone grains as quickly as possible, I need to report to your majesty, and then directly deploy from the granary near Yanjing." Xiao Rui said.

　　 Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "Of course, there is no need to conceal Emperor Xia about this matter."

　　 Xiao Rui had long thought of supporting the Qi refugees' uprising, but there was no good way, so this matter was put on hold. Now if this can be facilitated, then Qi will collapse sooner.
