Many people should take such a compliment.
But Xiao Jining is an exception. No matter who says congratulations to him for becoming the emperor, it is rubbing salt on his wounds.
Coupled with the complexity of the character Xiao Mo, Xiao Jining was very wary of him, and just said politely: "Governor Mo."
Xiao Mo lived in the palace twice as old as Xiao Jining. With Xiao Jining's attitude, he could tell at a glance that Xiao Jining didn't like him very much, so he smiled again, and said straight to the point: "Your Highness, don't worry. , the old slave did not come here for the eunuch's position as the chief of ceremonies."
Xiao Jining was still a little embarrassed to be exposed like this, but before he had time to speak, Xiao Mo said again: "The old slave is getting old, so he has already looked down on these fame and fortune."
Hearing this, Xiao Dan couldn't help but tell Xiao Jining: "He said he doesn't like fame and fortune, exactly the same as your fifth emperor brother said he didn't love the throne."
Xiao Jining also agreed very much: "I think so too."
He didn't believe that Xiao Mo came to Shun Palace today just to congratulate him, when his seven and eight emperor brothers came to see him, they still had gifts in their hands, but this Xiao Mo had nothing in his hands.
Sure enough, the next moment Xiao Mo continued: "Your Majesty, you also know that people like this old slave are not called men, and cannot marry wives and have children, but people always have some thoughts when they are old. Although this old slave has no biological son, but He has an adopted son named Xi Shu."
Xiao Mo's original name was Xi Mo, and the surname "Xiao" was an honor bestowed on him by Emperor Yunhong when he was alive, but just as he said, people always have some thoughts when they are old. Although they can't have children, they adopted an adopted son , and let the adopted son follow his own surname, it seems that this is indeed very important to Xiao Mo.
When Xiao Jining heard this, he knew it - Xiao Mo really didn't come here for himself, but for his adopted son.
"The adopted son of this old slave is still young, he is only 17 years old, and he doesn't understand anything. This old slave is afraid that when he returns in the future, he will be ignorant in the palace, and he will not know if he offends others." Xiao Mo never mentioned Si Li. The supervisor was in charge of the position of eunuch, and he didn't even tell Xiao Jining what position he wanted to find for his adopted son, but said, "This old slave knows that Eunuch Mu Kui has been with His Highness since he was a child, and he is very fond of His Highness. I want Lao Nu, a stupid adopted son, to learn from Eunuch Mu Kui how to serve the emperor well in the future."
When Xiao Mo said these words, he bowed his waist, his face was full of smiles, he looked respectful and flattering, and no one could find anything wrong with him.
After Xiao Jining listened to it, he suddenly felt that Xiao Mo could stand in the harem for decades, his ability to speak was really admirable.Although he is engaged to Ruan Jiaren now, they are not yet married, and there is no one in his backyard, which means that there is no concubine in the harem after he ascended the throne.Even if there is, but with Xiao Mo's temperament, he is not willing to put his adopted son next to his concubine who doesn't know if he will be favored for a long time, but if he puts it next to Xiao Jining, Xi Shu's age and status are not qualified, and he may Criticism.
After Xiao Jining ascended the throne, Mu Kui would definitely be the eunuch in charge of the ceremony. Under such circumstances, it would be the best choice for Xi Shu to follow Mu Kui.
"Okay." Xiao Jining pursed his lips and smiled, agreeing readily, "Then what Governor Yimo said, let Xi Shu follow Mu Kui."
Xiao Mo smiled and knelt down towards Xiao Jining and said: "The old slave thanked the emperor."
Xiao Jining nodded: "If Governor Mo has nothing else to do, then step down."
"The old slave is fine." Xiao Mo is a fine person, he asked Xiao Jining, "But is there anything else you want to ask the old slave? The emperor is kind to the old slave, and the old slave will never hide anything from the emperor." thing."
Xiao Jining knew what Xiao Mo was hinting at him—that is, about the Jing family, but Xiao Jining hadn't decided yet whether he wanted to know, so he said to Xiao Mo: "I'm tired today, if I have any doubts in the future, I will go to ask for advice." Governor Mo."
Xiao Mo bowed his head and said goodbye: "The old slave will not disturb the emperor's rest."
After Xiao Mo left, Xiao Dan asked Xiao Jining, "Don't you want to know what secrets the royal family holds about the Jing family?"
"Wow, did you make a mistake? I don't plan to sit on the throne forever." Xiao Jining said, "I will abdicate when the time comes, but I know such a secret. It must be a thorn in the heart of the new emperor."
Xiao Dan said: "I think you have forgotten the fourth brother who is still alive but knows the secret, but I don't think he looks like a thorn in your heart?"
Xiao Jining snorted and said, "What do you know? My heart is on the throne. I am not on the throne. How can the fourth prince be a thorn in my heart? Look at my fifth prince, although he is not here The emperor doesn't know the secret, but do you think the fourth prince looks like a thorn in his heart?"
Xiaodan: "..."
Why didn't he realize that Xiao Jining could speak so well before?
Xiao Jining's words are convincing with reason and evidence, Xiaodan can't refute.
In the evening, Jing Yuan came to see Xiao Jining again.
He also brought news to Xiao Jining, saying that Si Tianjian had already counted the day when Xiao Jining would ascend the throne, and within a short period of one year, the Xiao Kingdom had changed three emperors. He and the eighth prince are still there, so there is no movement, but the Turks have heard that there has been a change, so Xiao Jining must ascend the throne as soon as possible, so the date set by Si Tianjian is half a month later.
Currently, preparations are being made for Xiao Jining's enthronement ceremony, but there is a link where Xiao Jining needs to be asked.
When the second and fourth princes came to the throne, they had already married the princess, so they were accompanied by the queen during the enthronement ceremony.
However, on Xiao Jining's side, he does have a concubine - but he has never been married. It's just that Xiao Jining is now enthroned. Will it follow the original meaning, wait two years before welcoming Ruan Jiaren into the palace, or the ceremony of conferring the queen? Held it together with the enthronement ceremony, how about giving Ruan Jiaren such an honor?
Jing Yuan came here tonight to ask Xiao Jining this question. He raised his eyes to stare at Xiao Jining, his eyes were dim, but his tone was gentle: "Fu Guogong has spent a lot of time for His Royal Highness's enthronement, and after becoming the emperor It's not like being a prince, your Highness's harem can't be empty all the time."
Xiao Jining also understood this truth, but he didn't make her queen because he liked Ruan Jia, so he immediately frowned upon hearing this, feeling a little embarrassed.
"However—" Jing Yuan paused deliberately when he saw Xiao Jining's eyes furrowed, "Weichen has already met Miss Ruan."
"Really?" Xiao Jining was stunned for a moment, "Have you seen her?"
"Well." Jing Yuan said, "Miss Ruan took the initiative to find Weichen. She said that she knew that she and Miss Tan were sorry for His Highness, so His Highness need not consider her, and the matter of conferring will not be discussed until His Highness ascends the throne. Late."
Xiao Jining breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "This is the best."
Jing Yuan looked at the expression on Xiao Jining's face, the dark light in his eyes gradually faded, he smiled and continued to talk to Xiao Jining: "I have heard that Governor Mo has come to see His Highness today?"
Hearing the words, Xiao Jining looked up at Jing Yuan, was silent for a while, and then tentatively said to Jing Yuan: "Yes, Governor Mo wants his adopted son to serve me with Mu Kui."
"Is it Xi Shu?" Jing Yuan said, "I've seen that child before, but he's honest and honest, it's fine if His Highness agrees."
"Well, I believe you." Xiao Jining smiled at Jingyuan, pretending to be casual, "Governor Mo also said that he knows some secrets about the Jing family, you can tell me so that I can control the Jing family, ask me if I want to I know."
Jing Yuan raised his eyebrows, but his face still had a calm and indifferent expression: "Then does your Highness know?"
"I don't know, I didn't ask." Xiao Jining said, "General Jing has promised to protect me forever, I trust General Jing."
"Thanks to His Highness's trust, this humble minister will definitely not disappoint His Highness's trust." Jing Yuan pursed his lips, the corner of his mouth smiled a little deeper, his eyes were full of interest and almost invisible doting when he looked at Xiao Jining.
Xiao Jining is such a little thing, even if he stays with him for a long time, he learns badly.
Jing Yuan guessed that Xiao Jining probably knew about the royal family's threat to control the Jing family a long time ago. Xiao Mo might have revealed something to Xiao Jining today, but he would never say it as straightforwardly as Xiao Jining said.
How did he know?The reason is simple.
Because the second and fourth princes would know before, it was because Jing Yue asked Xiao Mo to tell them, but Xiao Mo didn't receive any instructions from the Jing family on Xiao Jining's side.
Firstly, it is because Xiao Mo understands that a big tree attracts wind. He has served three consecutive dynasties as the supervisor of ceremonies. If he has served four consecutive dynasties, he will not be a legendary governor, but a eunuch. As for the second, it is also the most important point——Xiao Mo Both Mo and Jingyue knew that he wanted to protect Xiao Jining.
Xiao Mo didn't have the ability to dare to confront him directly, and Jing Yue was also observing whether his son's power could compete with him now.
But Jing Yuan is laughing now, not because of these reasons, he is laughing because Xiao Jining really doesn't like Ruan Jiaren, and he won't hold the empress ceremony and enthronement ceremony together with her.
Just like Xiao Jining wanted to catch his words tonight, he actually also played Xiao Jining's words.
Ruan Jiaren had indeed met him, but she didn't come to meet him on her own initiative, but he went to find Ruan Jiaren.
The reason why he went to see Ruan Jiaren was, of course, "hoping" that both Ruan Jiaren and Fu Guogong would have some self-knowledge. It is a great honor to be a queen, so don't have other extravagant hopes.
Fortunately, Ruan Jiaren was very knowledgeable, so she immediately said that she understood what he meant without waiting for him to mention it.
And now Jing Yuan still wants to come to Shun Palace to meet Xiao Jining, just to see Xiao Jining's attitude - of course everything went as he wished.
Jing Yuan was in a good mood, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Xiao Jining and him, and said: "The enthronement ceremony has complicated rules and regulations. I know His Highness doesn't like trouble, but for His Highness, such an important event cannot be kept simple."
Hearing this, Xiao Ji Ning just wanted to tell Jing Yuan that the grand enthronement ceremony was also simple, but immediately swallowed back the words, distressed: "Then what should I do if I can't remember? General Jing, you know, I don't like these rigid rules since I was a child .”
"Your Highness, don't worry." Jing Yuan smiled and said in a low voice, "I will always be by Your Highness's side on the day your Highness ascends the throne."
In the first year of the Great Xiao Yunxi, Emperor Yunxi Xiao Jiqing abdicated, and was passed down as King Shun. In April of the same year, King Shun Xiao Jining ascended the throne and changed his reign name to Yunchu.
But Xiao Jining is an exception. No matter who says congratulations to him for becoming the emperor, it is rubbing salt on his wounds.
Coupled with the complexity of the character Xiao Mo, Xiao Jining was very wary of him, and just said politely: "Governor Mo."
