Chapter 73: Battle

Hai Dafu finally entered the palace.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty asked the villain to come and ask, can you figure out what is wrong with you?" Hai Dafu stood next to Xiao Rui and asked respectfully.

Xiao Rui replied: "I figured it out, I figured it out, first, I left Beijing without permission..."

He was about to report one by one and say the mistakes he deeply realized, but he was stopped by Hai Dafu.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty said, since you have figured it out, then go back and think about it, before opening the mansion, you are not allowed to leave the house for half a step." Hai Dafu smiled: "If you dare to resist the order, break your two legs." ”

“??”

Xiao Rui couldn't cry or laugh, his father was really ruthless, it wasn't enough to punish himself for kneeling for four hours, he had to go home and think about it.

"Erchen understands." Xiao Rui could only obey the order.

Who knows, Hai Dafu said again: "In addition, Your Majesty said that the boys brought from Qiuyang County will be handed over to Dongchang for processing, remember the truth that a gentleman does not erect a dangerous wall." ”

"No way!" Xiao Rui immediately refused: "Please also ask my father-in-law to tell my father for me, my sons have their own plans, please rest assured." ”

Hai Dafu glanced at Xiao Rui and saw that he was resolute, especially with firmness in his eyes, so he nodded and said, "Okay, the villain will return for His Highness." ”

He left in a hurry to return to the court, and after a stick of incense, he did not come back.

Half an hour has passed, and Hai Dafu has not returned.

Xiao Rui sighed, he understood that the anger that Emperor Xia had finally calmed down was rising again, angry at his indecisiveness, and did not cut the grass and eradicate the roots. But Xiao Rui wanted to insist this time.

Since you told me to kneel, then kneel on!

Xiao Rui's stubborn temper came up, hum, the next thing is not for you to let me get up, but to see if I can stand up!

It's so arrogant.

Oops, my knees, it hurts.

As time passed, Xiao Rui gritted his teeth, feeling that his legs were no longer his own.

Finally, Emperor Xia arrived.

Looking at Xiao Rui, who was staggering and almost unsteady on his knees, Xia Huang's calm face finally showed emotion.

"Why did you insist on keeping him?" Emperor Xia entered the hall and stood in front of Xiao Rui, looking down at him condescendingly.

Xiao Rui raised his head and looked at Emperor Xia calmly.

"Father, Erchen has heard a sentence that if you take people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses, although it is not appropriate to say this, but Erchen also wants to metaphorize it." Xiao Rui said calmly: "Erchen can kill the son of a bandit at any time, but it is easy to kill him, and it is difficult to kill all the big thieves and bandits in the world!" ”

After savoring this sentence, Emperor Xia was a little moved, so he nodded and said, "Very good!" Let's go back. ”

"Sons obey orders!" Xiao Rui finally couldn't hold on and fell into the hall.

Xiao Rui was put out of the palace gate by the forbidden army.

When Gao Quan saw the appearance of his Royal Highness, he was so frightened that he thought that Emperor Xia had ordered someone to break his legs.

"What a panic, it's just a kneeling." Xiao Rui scolded with a smile: "I have finished kneeling in this life." ”

Gao Quan settled down at this time and hurriedly drove back to the house.

The next day, Xiao Rui was punished to raise the heart of the palace spread all over the capital, it is said that Long Yan was furious, Xiao Rui knelt for nearly four hours, out of the palace was framed, at this time was staying at home facing the wall to think.

This incident caused discussion among the people, and it was several princes who were touched more.

Xiao Yan, the ninth prince, naturally went to visit Xiao Rui for the first time, but was stopped in front of the door, there was a forbidden army guarding the door, and during the period when Emperor Xia ordered to face the wall, no one could visit.

This signal made everyone secretly speculate, speculating that the Seventh Prince was about to open the mansion and make such a fuss, does it represent any signal, could it be that the Seventh Prince was the first candidate to be expelled from the crown prince?

Quite possibly!

Because it is rare to see Emperor Xia so angry.

This incident also made the originally turbulent capital instantly silent, and no one wanted to repeat the mistakes of the past.

A few days later, Xiao Rui's small house was as deserted as it once was.

After Xiao Rui finished training, he went to Jia Xu to discuss.

"Sir, five days later will be the day I open the mansion, after the opening of the mansion, His Majesty will arrange for the princes to serve, this time I seize the opportunity and can choose by myself." Xiao Rui poured tea for Jia Xu, and then continued to ask: "I don't know what position I should choose?" ”

Jia Xu nodded in gratitude to Corporal Lixian of Xiao Rui, and he asked with a smile: "Your Highness, what do you think Emperor Xia will arrange for the princes to appoint?" Let's all speculate. ”

Xiao Rui was very interested, so he smiled: "Okay! In my opinion, since the purpose of arranging the position is to cultivate the ability of the prince, the position selected is naturally aimed at our shortcomings. The eldest prince Xiao Lie is gentle and peaceful, lacking temper, I guess, he will let him go to the Criminal Department or Dali Temple to practice his temperament. ”

"The second prince, Xiao Yiheng, is arrogant and unruly, but he has both literary and martial arts, and I can't figure it out."

"The third prince Xiao Ze is casual and lazy, if I guess, he will definitely go to the ministry and let him be busy."

"Xiao Feng, the fourth prince, has a reckless personality, so he is naturally in the Ministry of Etiquette and learns the way."

"The fifth prince Xiao Yuan has a suspicious personality, likes to figure out, goes to the military department, and the military family has a major event, and he can't be careful since ancient times."

"Xiao Ming, the sixth prince, has a short-tempered personality and is a little greedy, naturally he is a household, see if he dares to be greedy!"

"Eighth Prince Xiao Jing, a little self-righteous, youthful, hehe, how is Ying Tianfu?"

"As for the last Xiao Yan, that guy jumped properly, I think the Zongren Mansion is the most suitable!"

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Your Highness is wise, it's similar to what I speculated, the second prince Xiao Yiheng I think he will go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate." What about Your Highness? Where do you think you're going? ”

Xiao Rui shook his head, he couldn't locate himself yet, because he didn't know his image in Emperor Xia's heart, but according to this speculation, there was still one Ministry of Industry left in the six ministries, could it be that he would go to Guanglu Temple and other five temples?

"What do you think, sir?" Xiao Rui asked.

Jia Xu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "In my opinion, His Highness will go to the cabinet." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Rui made a surprised voice, he had thought about any department, but he had never thought of the cabinet.

Jia Xu explained: "If before His Royal Highness was punished, I felt that His Royal Highness would go to Dali Temple, but if you said to Emperor Xia that you can see the gains and losses by taking people as a mirror, I expected to feel more touched by Emperor Xia, and it was not merciful for you to let go of the son of bandits, but you still learned to be cruel." Intelligence and bravery, His Highness is not lacking, but he lacks connections, so what I can think of is naturally the cabinet! ”

"But the cabinet is not easy to go! I'm worried that I will be attacked by other princes, there is always the first person to be eliminated, in my opinion, the current Royal Highness should not challenge everyone, it is better to keep quiet. ”

Xiao Rui nodded and asked, "Sir, which department do you think I should suggest to my father?" ”

Jia Xu asked rhetorically: "Your Highness, what do you think is the most important thing in the world to the emperor?" ”

"The people are the most important thing!" Xiao Rui naturally understands this truth: "The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light." ”

"Yes, so His Highness should gain the respect of the people of the world." Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "I think His Royal Highness should serve in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, serve as the inspector of the imperial history, patrol the prefectures and counties, and specialize in the investigation and impeachment of officials!" Deal with injustices for the people of the world! Why waste time in the capital and have a meaningless competition with the princes? ”

"Leaving the capital is not only a kind of cultivation, but also a kind of exercise, what does Your Highness think?"

After Xiao Rui heard this, he took a deep breath and fell into thought.
