After leaving Jingyuan, Xiao Rui returned to the palace.

When I came to the East Palace, I saw that Li Yuanfang had brought back the martial arts training equipment of the Champion Hou's Mansion, and was arranging for someone to sort out a school field for martial arts practice. Zhuge Liuying was quite happy, and when she saw Xiao Rui coming back, she hurriedly stepped forward to say thank you, looking at Xiao Rui's eyes full of love.

Xiao Rui was talking to her, and when her eyes swept over Lu Pheasant, who was serving on the side, Lu Pheasant's eyes dodged, and she immediately lowered her head to avoid his gaze, it seemed that the joke in the bathtub yesterday made her very embarrassed.

Xiao Rui had fun and continued to stare at her, and finally frightened her into running away.

After chatting with the two ladies for a while, Xiao Rui went to Zhan Shifu.

On the way, Xiao Rui couldn't help but think about his current life, which was so boring.

The Yang Xin Palace is on duty, the East Palace is resting, and the Zhan Mansion is deliberating, these are the three main jobs, when I feel bored, go out for a walk, and come back to think about it after looking at the flowers, I haven't done anything meaningful.

He is only the crown prince now, and he has not yet become His Majesty, if he really ascends the throne, he may be like his father and the emperor, and he has dedicated his life to this country. To put it nicely, this is for the country and the people, and for the great inheritance and inheritance of the ancestors' foundation.

But when you think about it, what kind of life is meaningful?

This question instantly stumped Xiao Rui.

Human beings are born to suffer, and if they are tormented in this world, what they can do may be to make fun of suffering.

Thinking of this, Xiao Rui's mood suddenly improved a lot.

Coming to Zhan Shifu, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Zhang Liang were discussing the plan of the junior college, Xiao Rui was an idea, but for the three of them, they had to be busy for a long time, after all, they needed to select a site for construction, determine the subjects of the junior college, select suitable teachers, recruit members, etc., if they want to fully launch a junior college, it is not possible to do it in a few words.

In addition to the junior college, Jia Xu and the three of them have a lot to do, responsible for everything in Zhan Shifu and Huben Pavilion, navigation trade, the cultivation of corn, potatoes, and peppers, the management of the Daxia Daily, and also responsible for paying attention to the situation in the world, and so on!

As the saying goes, as soon as the leader speaks, his subordinates are tired and break their legs, and this sentence is very appropriate. Looking at Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Zhang Liang, Jia Xu and Guo Jia are good at strategy, but they are not proficient in internal affairs. Zhang Liang is an all-rounder, not only in terms of strategy, but also in internal affairs, but after all, he is a person! Xiao Rui also doesn't want Zhang Liang to be bound by internal affairs, his strategy should be placed on the world!

Therefore, it is imperative to descend a figure who is proficient in internal affairs, but now the system is half-dead, and there is no task for Xiao Rui to earn the advent value.

Xiao Rui stayed in Zhan Shifu all morning, and then prepared to go to Ruyang Palace.

Before leaving, Guo Jia took out a letter, handed it to Xiao Rui, and said: "Your Highness, this is a letter that has just arrived, and it was sent by Zhao Kuangming, the sixth prince of Zhao State, and the matter that his subordinates ordered him to investigate is a bit eyebrow-raising!" ”

"Oh? It's true? Xiao Rui was overjoyed and hurriedly opened the letter to browse.

Now it is known that King Ruyang and Xiao Feng are in a gang, but Xiao Feng and Zhao Guo colluded, and the son of King Ruyang was harmed by Emperor Zhao's son, and the revenge of killing his son, how could King Ruyang support Xiao Feng with Zhao State?

Coupled with what Xiao Qingqing learned from Princess Ruyang after asking her, the change in King Ruyang began after his son was killed. Although there were many soldiers who saw his son and the Zhao Assassin fall off the cliff with their own eyes, and only found the body of the assassin, but not the body of the baby, it was so high that it was unlikely that he would survive.

But everyone understands a truth, life to see people, death to see corpses, what if all this is a designed conspiracy?

Therefore, after analyzing Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Zhang Liang, they believed that the son of King Ruyang was probably not dead and was brought back to Zhao. So he ordered Zhao Kuangming to secretly investigate in the imperial capital of Zhao, he is the prince, his status is prominent, and he has access to the core secrets of many things.

And with Zhao Kuangming's investigation, he really found something.

In that year, the king of Ruyang served as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and entered the Zhao country with the Xia Emperor, and the situation was like a bamboo, and the Zhao emperor was angry, so he sent the Jiuyin Forbidden Army to Kyoto to deal with the family of the King of Ruyang. Later, after the great commander returned to the Zhao capital, it didn't take long to hear that he had adopted a baby boy and adopted him as a righteous son.

This baby boy has now become the deputy commander of the Nine Yin Forbidden Army, and he is a young talent with both civil and military talents.

In the letter sent by Zhao Kuangming, there was also a portrait, which was the portrait of this young man, and he looked a little similar to the king of Ruyang!

Xiao Rui smiled: "It seems that the matter has already been resolved, King Ruyang knows that his son is not dead, so naturally he has no blood feud with Zhao State, so he will help Xiao Feng together and help him seek the position of crown prince!" ”

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Your Highness, I suspect that the kidnapping of the son of King Ruyang is likely to be a ploy of the British Duke!" It's a pity that the British Duke is dead, and too much time has passed, and there is no way to investigate. ”

The British Duke had made friends with many people in the Zhao Emperor's capital, and the Zhao Emperor poisoned Xiao Rui's mother through him, which shows the power of the British Duke at that time. So it's no surprise that he has a plan.

Xiao Rui raised the letter and said with a smile: "It's okay, with this, I want to see what King Ruyang will do next!" ”

……

During this time, King Ruyang was very low-key, living in a shallow way, and he didn't know what conspiracy he was planning.

Today he was playing chess with his confidants, and someone hurriedly came to report, saying: "Back to the prince, His Royal Highness the prince's guard of honor will arrive soon, and the prince's personal guard has sent someone to inform!" ”

Ruyang Wang Luozi's hand paused in the air, and then put the sunspot into the chess box and said, "It's still here." ”

The middle-aged staff said with a smile: "It is said that although this prince is treacherous and cunning, he also has fatal flaws and weaknesses. The disadvantage is kindness, but he himself has realized this and corrected a lot. But the weaknesses have not improved much. He is here today, and sure enough, he verifies this statement. ”

From the very beginning, Emperor Xia saw Xiao Rui's shortcomings and weaknesses, and other smart people could also see them.

The shortcomings are in character, Xiao Rui's character is too benevolent, lacks decisiveness in killing, and does not have the ruthlessness of killing whoever is an enemy of himself. This shortcoming has been realized by Xiao Rui and is gradually changing.

And the weakness is human and not easy to change. And Xiao Rui's weakness is that he doesn't even realize it, it is bound by his own rules.

Xiao Rui lived in a civilized and orderly society in his previous life, and lived for thirty years in his previous life, and what he learned from childhood to adulthood is to abide by the law, what to do and what not to do, which is a rule that has been imperceptibly affected since childhood.

Do things in a down-to-earth manner and be an honest person, this is a portrayal of everyone in the previous life!

Therefore, even if Xiao Rui traveled to Great Xia and became the prince, his rules of self-restraint have never changed.

He also understands that this society is different from the past, the competition for the crown prince is full of thorns, and there is no brotherhood to speak of, he knows this truth, but what he does is affected by his own rules.

Throughout the past few years, although he has designed to play against many princes, he has won by scheming, has he really hurt them?

No!

It's not that he doesn't have a chance, it's not that Jia Xu and they won't do it, but Jia Xu and they saw Xiao Rui's weakness and didn't expose it, but followed Xiao Rui's attitude.

On the other hand, the King of Chu, he assassinated the King of Jin for the position of the crown prince, and Xiao Feng even sent someone to kill the King of Chu, just to frame Xiao Rui. They will do anything for their own purposes, and this kind of thing is too much, and it is not uncommon.

Of course, these are just examples, changing weaknesses is not to make Xiao Rui a devil who does not recognize his six relatives and betrays his family affection, but only to make him change the fixed rules, and the previous values and social views are not applicable to this era.

He can't do Cao Cao's would rather I bear the world than the world bear me, if he can understand the true meaning of this sentence, then he has no weakness at all.

Therefore, when he heard that he was coming, King Ruyang sighed with emotion: "It's still here!" ”

In other words, the correct attitude should be: If you dare to fucking harm me, Lao Tzu will have to get you! Blindness is a waste of time!

"Although it is a weakness, I have to admit that this is also a kind of personality charm of his, and one day he will really grow up, just like His Majesty today!" King Ruyang sighed with emotion.

Speaking of Emperor Xia, the middle-aged staff sighed: "It's a pity... His Majesty has only ascended the throne after the year of his establishment, if the weak crown ascends the throne, and the emperor of the year is creating a better internal and external environment for him, then today's Great Xia must be the first power in the Shenzhou continent, and it can sweep the world! ”

Emperor Xia is now fifty-five years old, although he has ambitions, but his deteriorating health makes him unable to sweep the world, so over the years he has continued to govern the country with benevolence, hoping to create an excellent internal and external environment for the crown prince and inherit his ambition. If he could be ten years younger, it would be completely different!

King Ruyang nodded, he had followed Emperor Xia for so many years, how could he not know what kind of person His Majesty was? It's because I know it that I don't want to be an enemy.

"Forget it, don't mention it, it's time for the king to go and greet the prince." King Ruyang got up and walked straight out.

Xiao Rui got out of the carriage and saw King Ruyang coming out of the palace, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still here in his busy schedule, and I hope the prince will forgive me!" ”

Xiao Rui returned the salute and said with a smile: "King Ruyang, don't be like this, today I came to visit as a junior." My father taught me many times, let me come to the prince to sit here if I have nothing to do, learn to learn the experience of dealing with the world and handling affairs, some time ago I didn't have time to go north to Qi country, and now I came back, just rested for two days, and came to disturb the prince. ”

"Haha... His Royal Highness Liao praised, please enter the house with tea! King Ruyang stretched out his hand, and Xiao Rui smiled and followed him into the palace.

After entering the hall and sitting, the next person brought tea.

After sitting down, the two chatted about some ordinary things, and the guest of honor was harmonious. King Ruyang is the main family, and he has put on a defensive position, and Xiao Rui is the guest room, so he naturally has to take out the momentum of attack, so after chatting about ordinary things, Xiao Rui is ready to attack.
