Tyrant Whitewashing Plan [Transmigration Book]

Before Emperor Xiao died, he was only short of telling who the new emperor was by the last word, but he died before the last word was said, so that no one knew the new emperor he was going to establish in the end Who is it.

Although Xiao Jining knew that the new emperor would most likely be the Seventh Prince, but as long as Emperor Xiao didn't say anything, it would be impossible for all the officials to accept the Seventh Prince as the throne.

What's more troublesome is that among the Tuogu ministers pointed out by Emperor Xiao are the father and son of the Jing family.

People in the world only know that Jing Yuan is his companion and is on good terms with him, but no one knows that Emperor Xiao temporarily lent him the sword of the father and son of the Jing family. Once Emperor Xiao dies, the sword will be returned to the Seventh Prince.

Xiao Jining has always been non-interfering with Jing Yuan, willing to marry Ruan Jiaren and Tan Qingxuan, and even acquiesced that Jingyuan induced Ruan Jiaren and Tan Qingxuan to help him ascend the throne, because he knew that Jingyuan would not really be loyal to him, as long as Jingyuan was the knife On the day he returns, even if he marries Ruan Jiaren and Tan Qingxuan, he will never ascend the throne.

Unexpectedly, the knife has not returned now, so he, the person who "holds the knife", is in the way of other people's eyes.

Because no matter which prince ascends the throne, he will be blocked by other princes, and the best reason for blocking is that Emperor Xiao asked the father and son of the Jing family to assist the new emperor, and Jing Yuan was the companion of the ninth prince Xiao Jining. As the new emperor, how could he make such a decision?

Xiao Jining has the support of the Jing family and the Fuguo government's strong support. Only when Xiao Jining is dead can they justifiably use other reasons to become the throne.

And Xiao Jining never thought that Emperor Xiao would leave him with such a mess in the end, he asked Xiao Dan: "Did Emperor Xiao die like this in the original book?"

"Yes." Xiao Dan answered him, "Xiao Di's death today is exactly the same as in the original book, the only difference is that Jing Yuan is your accompanying reader, so if your covetous imperial brothers want to ascend the throne, they must first except you."

Xiao Jining can also roughly guess some plots, because Emperor Xiao must have died suddenly before the new emperor was established, and there will be a situation where three princes ascend the throne one after another. Otherwise, the seventh prince will directly ascend the throne, and there will be no such thing as Jingyuan beheading the three emperors .

The cold wind blew all the way on the way, and now Xiao Jining calmed down a little bit. After he returned to Prince Shun's Mansion, he asked Mu Kui to bring him a jug of wine, turned away all the attendants, and let him stay quietly in the stone courtyard in the small courtyard. Drinks at the table.

Xiaodan asked him: "It's dark around here, there's no one around, aren't you afraid that someone will assassinate you?"

But the corridor was full of bright palace lanterns, it was not dark at all, Xiao Jining didn't intend to answer Xiao Dan's words, he raised his wine glass and frowned for a moment, then suddenly said: "No, I may not die yet .”

Xiaodan asked him, "Where did you get your confidence?"

"First of all, I, Brother Three, Brother Seven and Brother Eight, will definitely not kill me." Xiao Jining is certain of this, "Then I just need to beware of the second, fourth, fifth, and sixth brothers." .”

Xiaodan asked again: "What about the big boss Jingyuan?"

Xiao Jining was originally very afraid of Jingyuan, but he couldn't explain why, just now when his hands and feet were cold in the carriage, and when he was flustered, his first thought was to go to Jingyuan—he couldn't tell why it was a He just inexplicably felt that as long as he asks Jingyuan, Jingyuan will definitely keep him.

So Xiao Jining pursed his lips, and said to Xiao Dan: "Jing Yuan won't kill me either, at least not for now."

Xiaodan: "..."

"Bao, you're tired, it's so cold outside, you'd better go back to the house and rest first." Xiao Dan persuaded Xiao Jining, "You will definitely not die tonight."

"Egg, I'm not joking with you." Xiao Jining said seriously, "Didn't you pay attention just now? Jing Yuan never showed up tonight."

Jing Yuan was one of Emperor Xiao's trustees, but Jing Yuan was not there at all. Some people might say that Jing Yuan was too young to enter the palace, but Xiao Jining didn't believe in such an important moment tonight. Jingyue is here, but Jingyuan is not.

As long as Jingyuan wants to come, no one can stop him, unless he doesn't want to come, or there are other more important things to do.

Xiaodan disagreed, "I know he's not here, but it has nothing to do with whether he will kill you or not."

"Then I'll tell him in person." After Xiao Jining finished speaking, he immediately asked Mu Kui to send someone to deliver a message to Jing Yuan, saying that he wanted to see Jing Yuan tonight.

After listening to Xiao Jining's order, Mu Kui was stunned: "Your Highness, it's late at night."

Xiao Jining said: "You just go, just say I have something urgent."

Emperor Xiao passed away tonight, I am afraid that there are very few people in Beijing who can fall asleep.

Mu Kui had no choice but to listen to Xiao Jining's words and hand over the invitation to the mansion of Major General Jing.

But it was also a coincidence, when the messenger just arrived at the Major General's Mansion, he bumped into Jing Yuan who had just come back from outside. At that time, Jing Yuan hadn't even taken off his cloak to block the wind and snow. Jing Yuan immediately turned around and got on the carriage to rush towards Shun Palace.

Xiao Jining was drinking in the courtyard while waiting for someone. After two glasses of wine, he and Xiao Dan sighed: "This fruit wine is so sweet, you can hardly taste the wine. The boss said that you won't get drunk after drinking a bottle , If I had known earlier, I would have bought a few more pots and came back.”

"...Is this fruit wine?" Xiaodan asked suspiciously, "Aren't you using wine to drown your sorrows?"

Xiao Jining was also very confused, and asked Xiaodan: "Why should I use wine to drown my sorrows?"

Little Egg stopped talking.

Not long after, Jing Yuan also arrived at the courtyard of Prince Shun's Mansion. He saw that Xiao Jining was not wearing much and was sitting on Hanyue's stone bench, so he immediately stepped forward to take off his cloak and put it on for Xiao Jining.

Wrapped in a warm cloak, Xiao Jining quickly turned around, looked at Jing Yuan and said, "General Jing, you are here."

Jing Yuan smelled the faint aroma of wine from Xiao Jining's body, and his face was expressionless, he just asked him: "Why is your Highness drinking to soothe your sorrows alone in this courtyard?"

Xiaodan couldn't help but interjected: "You see, I already said that I was drinking to drown my sorrows."

Xiao Jining ignored it, and said to Jing Yuan: "Since General Jing asked, I also want to ask General Jing, why are you wearing black again today?"

Except for the anniversary of his birth mother's death, Jing Yuan never wore black clothes, but today is not the anniversary of his birth mother's death, but the anniversary of Emperor Xiao's death.

Xiao Ji would rather not think that Jing Yuan had expected to wear this black dress long ago, and he would wear it only for Emperor Xiao to see him off, otherwise Jing Yuan would have been there when Emperor Xiao died.

"I went to steal something." Hearing Xiao Jining asking him, Jing Yuan curled his lips into a smile, and said an answer that he didn't know if it was true or not, "It's a pity that I didn't steal it."

But Xiao Jining felt that it was very likely to be true, but he was not interested in Jing Yuan stealing something.

After Jing Yuan finished speaking, he sat down next to Xiao Jining in his clothes, picked up the jug and poured wine for himself, but after taking a sip, he was slightly stunned: "... fruit wine?"

"Yes, I don't have a good capacity for alcohol, so I can only drink this." Xiao Jining filled another glass for himself as he spoke, "General Jing, how do you like the taste?"

"Sweet." Jingyuan laughed again when he heard the words, drank the fruit wine in one gulp, shook his head and said, "But it should be the taste that His Highness likes."

Xiao Jining also smiled, and poured wine for Jing Yuan with crooked eyebrows: "Then General Jing, let's have another drink."

Jingyuan knew that Emperor Xiao was dead, and he also knew that Emperor Xiao did not reveal who the new emperor was before his death. He also knew that he and Jing Yue were among the ministers under Emperor Xiao's tuogu, so now Xiao Jining has become the target of public criticism, so he also knows Xiao Jining Why did you come here to find him.

All of this was within his expectations.

It's just that he didn't expect that maybe fruit wine can also be intoxicating.

Otherwise, why did he change the words he wanted to say at the beginning: "Okay, Your Highness, you are short-handed, and your mouth is soft. This servant has already drank the fruit wine you poured. Your Highness summoned this servant late at night." So, you can say whatever you want.”

"I think..." Xiao Jining was not that nervous at first. Even before Jing Yuan came, he firmly believed that Jing Yuan would agree to his proposal, but at this moment, his heart was beating very fast, and he paused to speak. Say that sentence——

"I think General Jing can protect me."

Jing Yuan didn't move when he heard the words, but just raised his eyelids and looked at Xiao Jining. After a moment of silence, he asked Xiao Jining, "Protect Your Highness?"

"Yes." Xiao Jining also knew a little about Jing Yuan, he understood that Jing Yuan was waiting for him to continue to finish his sentence, so Xiao Jining said, "General Jing, you and I both know that the prince my father wants to pass on to the throne is the Seventh Emperor Brother, it's just that the situation is a bit special now, so I implore General Jing to protect me until my Seventh Brother ascends the throne."

Xiao Jining understands that Jing Yuan is the last person to ascend the throne, and also knows that Jing Yuan has ambitions for the throne, but this is something he has to pretend not to know anyway, otherwise Jing Yuan may be wary of him, so he can only say yes Seven princes.

After he finished speaking, Jing Yuan lowered his eyes and remained silent, seemingly thinking about his request, but Jing Yuan didn't touch the jade pendant around his waist.

After a moment of silence, Jing Yuan didn't raise his head, but his voice was much softer: "Your Highness, I have an idea. I wonder if Your Highness would like to hear it?"

Xiao Jining said: "You tell me."

Jing Yuan still lowered his eyes, looking at the wine glass in front of him, and said slowly: "Xie Xiang and Xiao Mo are loyal and will not favor any prince. Your Highness also has Fu Guogong and Weichen, why don't your Highness—"

Having said that, Jing Yuan raised his eyes to look at Xiao Jining, and asked softly: "Are you enthroned as emperor?"

Xiao Jining's expression didn't change when he heard the words, he just said: "General Jing asked me the same question once in Yipin Building. My answer remains the same now."

Jing Yuan still persuaded him: "Your Highness, today is different from the past, I hope Your Highness thinks twice."

At that time Emperor Xiao was not yet dead, and there was a chance to establish a new crown prince. Even if Xiao Jining wanted to be emperor at that time, his name would not be justified. Well, there is Fu Guogong in the court, he is on good terms with the Seventh Prince and Eighth Prince, even if he wants to ascend the throne, the Seventh Prince and Eighth Prince's brothers will not say so, and will support him.

Even if he, the general Jing Yuan, doesn't seem so trustworthy, but if Xiao Jining wants to ascend the throne, he must trust him.

When Jing Yuan said these words, his eyes kept staring at Xiao Jining's eyes. He had been looking at these almond eyes for decades, and they were as clean and clear as ever, and he couldn't see anything inside.

But he just didn't believe it.

He really wanted to see, under such a huge temptation, whether Xiao Jining was really not moved by the throne—whether his eyes could continue to be clean.
