admiration

In the [-]th year of Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi Zen was located in the prince, and the world was shocked.

The imperial court is changing rapidly. Ever since Zhu Qiming left the capital, the eldest prince's party has fallen apart, those who understand current affairs are still valued, and those who rebel are found reasons to be exiled from the capital. Today, there is no one who is too late in the world.

When the imperial decree was first issued, compared to the shock outside the capital, the people in the capital seemed much calmer.After all, in the past two years, there have been many incidents caused by Mo Yanchi. As long as they don't affect their lives, it is actually the same who is Tian Zi sitting in the palace.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and hundreds of officials came to court.After the edict of Emperor Hongzhi's Zen position, some remote officials got into carriages and rushed to the capital. For two consecutive months, the capital became much more lively.

The enthronement ceremony is still in preparation, and the palace has long been overwhelmed, and it is too busy.

Zhun Xindi concentrated on governing government affairs, and pushed all the matters of the grand ceremony to Xiao Zhijin.

Master Xiao, who was already very popular in the first place, became famous in the capital for a while, and when he went between the imperial palace and the Zhuangyuan's mansion, he was always stopped by the people to see his true face.Later, the new emperor found out, and because he couldn't bear the pain of Mr. Xiao running back and forth, he ordered him to live in the palace.

After Emperor Hongzhi found out, he became angry again, but after all, he didn't blame him and chose to turn a blind eye.

In a blink of an eye, it was the auspicious day of enthronement.

Since Mo Yichi took over the government affairs of Emperor Hongzhi, he has never slept in. Every day when Xiao Zhijin arrived at the Prince's main hall, he had already reviewed the memorial in front of the case.

It was the same today, Xiao Zhijin took over the burden of changing the dragon robes for the new emperor from the Ministry of Rites, and came to serve him with the newly made dragon robes.And Mo Yanchi didn't even have breakfast, and wrote the memorial directly on the bed, which can be described as a waste of sleep and food.

Lord Xiao walked over with a sullen face, and picked him up, "Hurry up and eat, and leave these matters to the subordinates to handle, and you have to look over everything yourself."

Mo Yanchi's eyes were bright, and he was still holding a cinnabar pen in his hand. He said with a smile, "It's already been divided, but it's quite interesting for me to deal with, and I don't feel tired."

Some people are born kings, and they needed Xiao Zhijin to guide them one by one in the early days, and now, they are already in charge of their own, even without him, Mo Yichi can become a monarch of a generation.

Xiao Zhijin patted his head, pecked his lips twice, and said: "Hurry up and tidy up, today is your big day, don't delay the time."

"Okay, it's a pity I don't have you by my side..." Mo Yanchi interlocked his fingers with him, his eyes full of regret, the words of Emperor Hongzhi were vivid in his ears, and Mo Yanchi did not hide his promise from Xiao Zhijin. When Shi said it, Xiao Zhi didn't feel uncomfortable at all, on the contrary, he felt like a lump in his throat, and he couldn't let it go.

Xiao Zhijin pointed to another set of court clothes on the side, which is not comparable to the dragon robe, but it is equally luxurious, "Why don't I, I will be underneath, to see my king rule the world and be admired by thousands of people!"

Mo Yanchi had a sore nose, clenched his hands tightly, and was about to speak when the maid knocked on the door to remind him, "Your Highness, the auspicious hour is coming soon."

The enthronement ceremony is a major event in the country, so Mo Yan dared not play games, so he summoned maids to wait on him, change clothes and wash.

The new emperor's court clothes were complicated and cumbersome, and after changing for a long time, they were dressed neatly one by one and put on the nine-dragon crown. It was too late to realize that Xiao Zhijin had already left.

He didn't know it, looked left and right for a few times, and the maid said with a smile: "Your Highness, Lord Xiao is going to the Jinluan Hall first."

Mo Yanchi's face became hot, he nodded and remained silent.

Clothes were just the beginning, the new emperor put on a dragon robe, and the people from the Ministry of Rituals were already waiting outside, leading him to sit on a walking chariot, whispering about today's regulations.

Mo Yanchi has already memorized these things in his heart, and dare not miss them. He thought that he would be able to face them calmly on this day, but when he sat on the chariot and looked down at all living beings, he felt a sense of grandeur and heroism, and he clenched his fists. , feeling every moment of today.

Sacrifice to the Taimiao, pay homage to the country, heaven and earth, Mo Yichi knelt on the ground, and solemnly took over the jade seal from Emperor Hongzhi, and couldn't help but his eyes turned red. It wasn't because he was unwilling to feel wronged, but because he had finally come to an end in the past few years. After today, no one dared to bully him in the whole world.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Chi'er, you still have to go back to the Golden Luan Hall to accept the worship of all the officials, so don't waste the time."

"Yes." Mo Yanchi stood up, looking back, the imperial palace was still majestic, with red walls and green tiles, wild geese flying high, a place where countless people were vying to be the first to step in, and it would be his home in the future.

All the officials were still waiting in the Golden Luan Hall, the place where they offered sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple was quiet and peaceful, Mo Yanchi walked out step by step, instead of sitting on the chariot, he walked forward along the white jade steps, slowly walking towards the Golden Luan Hall.

All the ministers kowtowed to the new emperor, knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up to see his true face. Only when Mo Yichi walked by could he see how delicate the picture of auspicious clouds and wandering dragons embroidered on the hem of his clothes.

When the new emperor stood in front of the dragon chair, the Ministry of Rituals shouted praises, and all the officials echoed, kneeling three times and nine times to Mo Yanchi, and then he was able to stand up and raise his head.

Xiao Zhi has all the merits of being a dragon, standing in front of the row, he saw Mo Yichi as soon as he raised his head, he was clearly someone he saw every day, at this moment he still couldn't stop breathing, all his thoughts were focused on Mo Yichi body, not knowing where he is.

Mo Yanchi stood alone, looking at all the officials with his eyes closed, his once youthful face was now firm and stable, without a trace of a smile, like a decisive emperor.

As if aware of Xiao Zhijin's fiery gaze, Mo Yanchi looked over silently, a smile appeared on his cold face.

Mo Yanchi took his seat, and the Ministry of Rites was about to read the enthronement edict, he raised his hand to stop, and said in a loud voice: "Today, I inherit the destiny and obey the precepts of my ancestors. I must be cautious, put the people first, and not repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty. Yu Hongzhi Twenty years later, the name of the country was changed to Jinghong, Emperor Hongzhi was named the Supreme Emperor, and his fourteenth sons were the emperor's younger brothers, the world was amnesty, and taxes were exempted for three years..."

The new emperor's ascension to the throne is always something surprising, and all the officials have already made psychological preparations, but when they heard that the fourteenth son was made the emperor's younger brother, they still couldn't help being uproarious, and they all looked at the leader Xiao Zhijin.

Lord Xiao raised his head, with his back to them, unable to see his expression clearly.

Only Mo Yanchi, who was looking at him, could see the light in his eyes.

Mo Yanchi continued: "Xiao Qing has made great achievements in Conglong, and now he is named Xiao Guogong, tutoring the emperor's younger brother's homework, I appreciate it."

All the officials looked at each other, knelt down along with those around them, thanking each other, and those who were closer to the hall seemed to hear Master Xiao choked up, looked sideways, his head was lowered, and could not see any emotion.

After the grand ceremony, the new emperor had to go to the harem to meet the Supreme Emperor, and all the officials moved to the Qianqing Palace, waiting for the dinner to begin.Someone wanted to congratulate Xiao Zhijin, but after searching for a while, he found that the person had disappeared. After some inquiries, he found out that Mr. Xiao was not feeling well, so he went back early.

But anyway, the new emperor hosted the banquet, Xiao Zhijin, no matter how honorable and bold he was, still showed up before the banquet started, sitting under the dragon chair, with indescribable joy on his brows.

Mo Yanchi originally wanted to visit Emperor Hongzhi, but on the way, he received the news that Emperor Hongzhi had left the palace with the Xian Wang, and no longer had a banquet, and also saved the step of meeting the Supreme Emperor.

It was still early for the dinner party, so Mo Yanchi simply went back to the East Palace, thinking of taking a good rest, the courtiers toasted in the evening, and there would be trouble.

He went back to the East Palace unintentionally. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door and entered, his eyes were full of bright red, the veils were flying, and all the palace lanterns under the eaves were dyed red, which looked extremely festive.

Ye Min was standing outside the door, directing the palace staff to make arrangements, "Be careful, don't make any mistakes!"

Mo Yanchi stood quietly behind Ye Min, saw that he was holding a few paper-cuts in his hands, and pulled them out without making a sound. When he flattened them, it turned out to be the word "囍".

Ye Min was taken aback, thinking it was some blind servant, but when he turned around and found it was him, his face turned pale, and he forced a smile and asked, "Why are you here, Your Highness?"

"What are you doing?" Mo Yanchi asked.

"I didn't do anything. Today is a good day for His Highness to ascend the throne. I want to make it more festive and celebrate." Ye Min said with his head down.

Mo Yichi handed the paper-cut back to him, and walked in, "Do you really think your highness is a fool? Don't say anything, I'll go and see for myself."

Ye Min hurriedly stopped him, and said anxiously: "This is Lord Xiao's wish, Your Highness...Your Highness, please come back later."

Mo Yanchi froze on the spot, and instantly understood Xiao Zhijin's intentions. He let Ye Min hug his leg and didn't move a bit.

After a while, Mo Yanchi said, "I see."

The new emperor came earlier than the start of the dinner, and his expression was a little dazed. He was helped by the palace servants to sit on the dragon chair, and then he came back to his senses.

Xiao Zhijin was a little worried, and was about to ask, but Mo Yanchi glanced at him quietly, averted his eyes, and said to Baiguan: "You don't have to be restrained, just feel free."

All the officials focused on Mo Yichi, his words and deeds were full of displeasure, they looked at Xiao Zhijin, could it be that Lord Xiao made him angry?

But everyone has an exquisite heart and knows what to ask and what not to ask.There were congratulations and toasts at the dinner, as if no one could see that the new emperor was unhappy.

The whole night, Mo Yanchi avoided Xiao Zhijin's sight.

As the new emperor, Mo Yichi never put down his wine glass from the beginning to the end. After the dinner, he was already drunk, leaning on the dragon chair with his eyes closed and sound asleep.

Before Xiao Zhijin left, the palace servants did not dare to touch him casually, so they asked: "Master Xiao, this..."

"You go down first, I will take His Majesty back."

"Yes."

The palace people retreated one by one, the hall was suddenly silent, Xiao Zhijin heard Mo Yichi's steady breathing, sighed, walked over and carried him on his back, and walked towards the East Palace step by step.

The palace road was long, Xiao Zhijin walked slowly and firmly, not in a hurry, on the contrary, the man pretending to sleep on his back hooked his lips, opened his eyes secretly, bit his earlobe and said with a smile: "If you don't go, hurry up, Tiandu It's going to light up."

Xiao Zhijin paused, and looked back, Mo Yanchi's eyes were clear, he didn't look drunk at all, "Are you not drunk?"

"No, I asked the maid to replace the wine with water. Otherwise, if I drink so much wine, I won't be able to get up tomorrow."

"The new emperor is enthroned, and he will rest for three days. It will not be a problem if he gets up tomorrow." Xiao Zhizhi said.

Mo Yanchi said: "Okay, then have a few more drinks with me later."

Xiao Zhi didn't answer, thinking that he would have no time to drink later.

The two felt each other's warmth, even if they didn't speak, they didn't feel bored.

The closer to the East Palace, the brighter the lights on the road, reflecting the shadows of the two on the ground, entangled as one, warm and lingering.

Mo Yichi broke free suddenly, holding the red silk in his hands, covering Xiao Zhijin's eyes.

Before Xiao Zhijin had time to ask, Mo Yanchi gagged his mouth, gnawed for a long time, then let go out of breath, and whispered: "Xiao Zhijin, thank you."

"Thank you for coming to see me."

"Thank you for helping me and supporting me all the way."

"Thank you for liking me."

While talking, Mo Yanchi led Xiao Zhijin forward.

Even though it was pitch black in front of his eyes, Xiao Zhijin seemed to be able to see the burning street lights in front of him, scorching hot.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Mo Yanchi stopped and tore off the red silk in front of his eyes. Xiao Zhijin opened his eyes and saw that the two were beside a lotus pond in the East Palace.

The pond was full of lanterns flickering, and the red light on the road leading to the pavilion in the center of the pond was on, leading him forward.

Mo Yanchi said: "I wanted to marry you back to Xiangtai after the grand ceremony, but I didn't want to let you go one step ahead. You have finished decorating the main hall, so I won't borrow flowers to present Buddha, so I have to light nine hundred and ninety-nine bright lanterns. This complaint is from the bottom of my heart.”

Xiao Zhi didn't speak, he just looked at him.

Mo Yanchi pretended to be relaxed and said: "Finally, I beat you one time. Then, Mr. Xiao, would you like to release the thousandth lamp with me?"

Xiao Zhijin nodded without the slightest hesitation: "Yes."

He spoke too decisively, Mo Yanchi was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and led him to the pavilion, where there was a Kongming lantern with portraits of the two of them painted on it, with four characters written next to the portrait——

I am happy with you.

This feeling, no matter who it is, has never changed.

Xiao Zhi's eyes were red, he picked up the lamp, and held hands with Mo Yichi to light it up.

The thousandth lamp was finally lit by two people together.

Xiao Zhijin watched the lamp disappear in front of his eyes, feeling a little bit reluctant, but thinking about the business, he still grabbed Mo Yichi's hand and said: "I have received your surprise, it's my turn next, let's go ,Let's go back."

Mo Yanchi nodded and followed him away.

……

"Worship heaven and earth."

Xiao knows everything.Both of them were dressed in wedding clothes, their hands were tightly intertwined, they lifted the hem of their clothes and knelt down without hesitation, bowed solemnly to the heaven and earth, and then smiled at each other.

Mo Yanchi is also the master of the world, he doesn't need to kneel down to anyone, but at this moment, he is unwilling to get up, as if he wants the world to witness this hard-won relationship.

Turning around, there are two chairs in front of you.When Emperor Hongzhi went out of Beijing, Xiao's father and Xiao's mother were far away at Wangxiang Terrace, but Gao Tang was not there, so the two had no choice but to kowtow to the two empty chairs, begging from the bottom of their hearts for their understanding.

After paying homage to Gaotang, the two did not get up, but turned to each other while kneeling.

The two laughed and said, "Husband and wife pay respects."

Three years of separation, two years of progress together, and the jokes and squabbles of the previous ten years, all of which have turned into the past at this moment. The only thing I have is not the family, the country, and the world, but him.

After three worships, the ceremony is complete.

Xiao Zhijin picked him up and went to the bedroom.

In the long night, they still have a lot to say.
