Hunting system, and I ended up becoming the empress!

One day in Shengjing, during a grand court session, an official from the Zhao family suddenly wrote a letter to the emperor, asking him to adopt a son to enrich the royal family.

His reason was to adopt a child to strengthen the virility of the palace. Wasn't there going to be a beauty pageant?

We can learn some folk customs and see if these people can bring in a few princes.

The ministers remained silent, waiting for the emperor to speak.

Zhao Yunqi's expression was calm. "After the selection, a prince will be born. There is no need to create trouble."

In terms of etiquette and law, adopted children are equivalent to biological children. Once this precedent is set, everyone will start to become restless.

What annoyed him was that some people in the Zhao family began to become careless.

The matter seemed to be suppressed temporarily by the emperor without any commotion, but unexpectedly, two days later, rumors began to spread in Shengjing.

In fact, the emperor was secretly selecting Zhao's descendants for adoption.

Zhao Bupi was the first one to be mentioned.

The person who pushed him to the forefront was none other than his own father.

Zhao Bupi was a low-key person and had a very low presence in Shengjing City. Everyone took a closer look.

Wow, this guy is even better than Li Jun and others.

He is a man of both civil and military talents, a gentleman of elegant appearance. At the age of 18, he became the leader of the Beijing Wuwei Guard. Over the past few years, he has worked diligently and silently to guard the public security of Shengjing.

Deeply trusted by the emperor.

The only disappointment was that he was married.

No wonder his father couldn't wait to promote him. Such an outstanding son had every chance of being chosen by the emperor as his successor.

This rumor spread throughout Shengjing in just half a day. In addition to Xiao Zhixing being the pusher, someone from the Zhao family really came forward to help and take the blame for her.

After that, she didn't need to exert any more effort, and the matter became known to the world.

That night, Zhao Bupi left his father's study with a grim face.

Early the next morning, he entered the palace and knelt in front of Shengde Hall. He took off his black gauze hat and placed it on the ground, looking as if he was asking for forgiveness.

Inside the palace.

Zhao Yunqi rubbed his forehead, his face full of fatigue. He had been suffering from insomnia all night and could only get a little sleep after lighting calming incense.

Therefore, the mood in the morning was not very good.

"How long have you been kneeling?"

Fulu said, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhao has been kneeling for an hour."

Zhao Yunqi slowly stood up and was served by the palace servants. After having breakfast, he said, "Let him go back. I won't blame him."

Fulu agreed and went out to pass on the message.

Zhao Bupi kowtowed three times and left silently holding his official hat.

Zhao Yunqi stood up to review the memorials. After half an hour, he said, "Fulu, pass the message to Jiang Bozhou."

The Emperor System asked: "Are you planning to let Zhang Shanhai take over?"

Zhao Yunqi nodded, "I have no choice. I must make a statement on this matter and not give people any more illusions."

Originally, Zhao Bupi was considered to take over as the leader of the Imperial Guard, but now, it would be difficult to reuse him.

At least on the surface he cannot be reused, which is also to protect Zhao Bupi.

Otherwise, those members of the Zhao clan would definitely put him in an embarrassing situation.

The Emperor System muttered, "Why do I feel like this is a coincidence?"

Zhao Yunqi shook his head. "These rumors have been around for a long time, and their intentions are becoming more and more obvious. I decided to hold a selection to thwart their plans, which led to this farce."

Even if someone else is trying hard, they are just lending a helping hand.

The Emperor System suddenly asked, "You really didn't think of adopting a child?"

Looking back on this incident, it felt a little weird.

Zhao Yunqi was very frank, "Aren't you dissatisfied with all of them? You put forward your own ideas again. What else can I do except listen to you?"

Emperor System: Is that true? No other thoughts?

Having seen the defenses that other subsystem hosts took against their respective subsystems, it now often cannot help but doubt whether Zhao Yunqi really trusts and obeys it that much?

However, everything about Zhao Yunqi was in his own eyes, so he really had no chance to cause trouble.

"Zhang Shanhai and Xiao Zhixing have a close relationship. This time when he went to Beizhou, he and Xiao Zhixing cooperated well. Can you rest assured giving the Imperial Guards to him?" The Emperor System couldn't help but want to poke Zhao Yunqi.

Zhao Yunqi said calmly, "Zhang Shanhai doesn't have the guts or brains to betray me. He is loyal and has no evil intentions. How can his affection for Xiao Zhixing compare to my kindness in using him?"

The Emperor System snorted and said, let’s hope so.

Not long after, Jiang Bozhou met the emperor, and an imperial edict was sent to Zhang's house.

Zhang Shanhai felt dizzy as he held the imperial edict in his hands, with a look of surprise and accident on his face as if he had been hit by a pie.

Just... just like that?!

His reaction made the secret guard who was observing him nod his head, confirming that he did not use any tricks.

After Xiao Zhixing quit monitoring, he immediately ordered the Ghost Guards to withdraw and no longer interfere in the matter.

Looking back, she noticed that the various points in her 186 had become huge.

The number of people with loyalty points above 60 has reached .

And more than 90 people scored above points.

What surprised her even more was that her total points, achievement points, luck points, and merit points were not only displayed in numerical values.

Each one of them was shining with dazzling golden light, just like what was displayed on the main system.

It is wrapped with mysterious runes, and it looks high-end, classy and righteous at first glance.

Xiao Zhixing asked 186, "My various points have increased, are there any other changes?"

186 points The system was confused. "Other changes? What other changes?"

It held back its envious saliva and scratched the host interface, but there was no change?

In addition, various points are increasing rapidly every day.

It is sure that even the main system is not as rich as itself.

Alas, what a pity that none of these can be used!

Xiao Zhixing wondered secretly, what was going on?

What do these golden lights and runes mean?

It must be good stuff for sure.

What’s strange is that even the system itself didn’t notice it, which is worth pondering.

There must be a reason for this.

She thought of the overall fortune.

That thing is from Taoism and is extremely mysterious. It is definitely not something that that intelligent guy can possess.

Could it be that there is a deeper reason behind this?

Write this down.

She went to watch the scenes of Xiong Chumo and Huo Baijun.

The emperor's edict was first delivered to Xiong Chumo, who had already expanded his army by 30,000.

It’s not that he wants to recruit so many people, but because the Xiao family army is well treated, and because of terraced fields and mushroom cultivation, they have become one family with the local ethnic minorities.

The way these people repay their gratitude is very simple, which is to send their sons to the Xiao family army to serve him.

When the emperor's edict arrived, more local young men who heard the news took the initiative to join the Xiao family army.

The 50,000 troops under his command were soon full.

Huo Baijun's situation was similar. He was wild and most of the people he captured were bandits and refugees.

First, beat and kill those who are most evil, and then win over those who are good and have not done evil.

Coupled with generous military pay, these bandits quickly became soldiers and followed him wholeheartedly.

He was even bolder and had more than 50,000 troops under his command. With the emperor's edict, he finally had nearly 70,000 troops.

The two men were deeply rooted in the south and had become a force that could not be ignored. They also had the emperor's orders to intervene in the guarding of the two passes.

Xue Chen was very tactful and took the initiative to assign the Yangzhou border defense line to Huo Baijun.

And Xiong Chumo also met Feng Lizhen formally for the first time.

Tensions.
