Tyrant Whitewashing Plan [Transmigration Book]

Xiao Jining raised his hand first, signaling all the surrounding palace people to retreat, even Mu Kui retreated to the outer room, leaving only him and Jing Yuan in the inner hall.

Seeing Xiao Jining's posture, Jing Yuan raised his eyebrows, and saw Xiao Jining beckoning him to get closer the next moment, so Jing Yuan had no choice but to step forward.

And Xiao Jining didn't play tricks with Jing Yuan, and went straight to the point: "General Jing, I want Miss Ruan to enter the palace."

Jing Yuan's expression did not change when he heard the words, and his voice remained calm, but the light in his pupils deepened a little: "Your Highness means... to welcome the queen into the palace?"

"I have a marriage contract with her, and she is my concubine." Xiao Jining didn't understand what was wrong with Jing Yuan's words, "After entering the palace, she will be the queen, right?"

Unexpectedly, Jing Yuan curled his lips into a sneer, and slowly approached Xiao Jining, and said in a bewitching manner: "Your Majesty, today is different, now you are the emperor, why is it that you have the final say on the world's affairs?"

Xiao Jining frowned, puzzled and said: "General Jing said it makes sense, but what does this have to do with me welcoming the queen into the palace?"

Jingyuan: "..."

"What Weichen means is that Miss Ruan is not someone you really love after all." Jing Yuan could only explain to Xiao Jining in detail, "You promised to marry Miss Ruan as a stopgap measure, but now that you have ascended the throne, even if Welcoming Ruan Jiaren into the palace, and not giving her a back seat, no one will say anything."

That's right, when Xiao Jining agreed to marry Ruan Jiaren, one was to deal with Emperor Xiao and Chun Jieyu, and the other was because Ruan Jiaren and Tan Qingxuan begged him so hard that Xiao Jining agreed to them temporarily.

But as Jing Yuan said, it is not without precedent that some princes did not appoint their original concubines as queens after their princes ascended the throne.

"Does Your Majesty think that what Wei Chen said is wrong? Or..." Seeing that Xiao Jining did not respond for a long time, Jing Yuan lowered his eyes and said, "Your Majesty thinks that what Wei Chen said is the words of a villain?"

After all, from a certain point of view, Jing Yuan was instigating Xiao Jining to break his promise.

But Xiao Jining said: "No, no, I know that General Jing is doing it for my own good."

Jing Yuan tugged at the corners of his lips, but still did not raise his eyes: "Weichen is just worried that His Highness will let down the person he likes, and it would be unfair to her not to give her a second place."

"I don't have anyone I like yet." Xiao Jining shook his head, "I let Miss Ruan be the queen because I agreed to her, and her father also contributed a lot to my ascension to the throne. At worst, after she enters the palace, I won't It's enough to give her too much honor and favor. Besides, she also promised me that in the future, when I meet someone I like, she will take the initiative to give up the back seat."

Xiao Jining doesn't want to break his promise, and there is another very important point - he feels that he won't be able to sit on this throne for long, if he offends Fu Guogong's family now, when the fourth and fifth princes work together to deal with him in the future, he will There is one less powerful comrade-in-arms to help him.

After finishing speaking, Xiao Jining sighed again: "Actually, the reason I want to welcome her into the palace so early is because... I want to listen to books and watch plays, but it's always not good to invite theater troupes into the palace in my name."

Jing Yuan raised his eyes to look at Xiao Jining and said, "Your Majesty so... thinks so?"

"Otherwise?" Xiao Jining asked Jing Yuan back.

"So that's how it is." Jing Yuan laughed when he heard the words, "But if you only welcome Miss Ruan into the palace, I'm afraid that Miss Ruan will be lonely in the palace alone. Your Majesty might as well welcome Miss Tan into the palace together."

Xiao Jining patted Jing Yuan on the shoulder and praised him: "Yes, General Jing is more careful."

Jing Yuan smiled: "As for the Empress Dowager Ceremony, Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, so it's not appropriate to be extravagant. I hope His Majesty will keep things simple."

Xiao Jining nodded: "It's natural."

He and Ruan Jiaren were just superficial couples, so it was impossible to give her a grand queen-sealing ceremony, not to mention that he didn't have the money to pay for it—the state treasury and his personal treasury were both empty.

After discussing with Jing Yuan, Xiao Jining asked Si Tianjian to find a good day suitable for welcoming the queen into the palace, and his request was that the sooner the better.

It was a coincidence that two months later there happened to be a good auspicious day for the zodiac, but for such an important event as the post-sealing, two months must not be enough preparation, and Xiao Jining issued an order to the inner court, saying that as the emperor, it was not appropriate for him to be enthroned just now It is a waste of people's fat and people's aspirations to hold these ceremonies, and everything in the post-sealing ceremony can be kept simple.

After Xiao Jining's order came out, there was a lot of discussion in the capital.

Those who gossip about Xiao Jining say that the new emperor has a gentle temperament and advocates frugality. After taking office, there has been no major movement. He has not liquidated other parties, and he has not promoted his cronies. At present, he seems to be a good emperor; those who gossip about Ruan Jiaren are envious of her Let's just say that her fate is good. Everyone thought that the concubine who became the ninth prince was the pinnacle. Although there is nothing wrong with being a concubine, if Xiao Jining's seniority is higher, maybe the posthumous position can be expected, but I don't think she really took this empress position; and those who are jealous of her say that the empress ceremony given to her by the new emperor was not grand at all, even the eldest princess's red makeup was not as good as when she got married. It doesn't seem like she values ​​this empress look.

Some people even wentssip to Tan Qingxuan, saying that Tan Qingxuan and Ruan Jiaren have been rivals for many years. Tan Qingxuan also had the opportunity to become a prince and side concubine and jumped on the branch, but he didn't want so many things to happen later. It's a pity that she has not been betrothed to others after becoming a queen.

For a long time, people in Jingzhong were talking about the three of them.

But in the middle of the court, it is calm.

Among the Tuogu ministers left behind by Emperor Xiao, there are Jing Yuan, Xie Xiang, Xiao Mo and Jing Yue. Currently, Jing Yuan is completely on Xiao Jining's side. Xie Xiang never takes sides, he just obeys the emperor's orders Ling—no matter who sits on the throne, and although Xiao Mo is no longer in the hands of the chief inspector this time, he is still the governor of Dongchang, and because his adopted son Xi Shu is currently studying and working with Mu Kui, so It can also be considered that Xiao Mo is on Xiao Jining's side.

Only Jingyue.

Since Xiao Jining came to power, this person has not expressed his allegiance to Xiao Jining, nor has he expressed any dissatisfaction with the emperor, he just went up and down on time, and did nothing other than that.

The other four princes and five princes were covered in black by Concubine Xian's pot of dirty water, and then the two fought among themselves, and now they haven't settled their accounts, and have no time to take care of Xiao Jining's affairs.

So Xiao Jining became the emperor very smoothly.

For two months in a row, it was almost summer, Ruan Jiaren's Empress Dowager Ceremony was coming soon, but nothing happened, the throne under his ass was as cold and secure as ever, Xiao Jining couldn't help asking Xiao Dan: "How can I Does it feel like the calm before the storm?"

However, Xiao Dan said something very philosophical to Xiao Jining: "If you keep worrying and guessing when the storm will come, you might as well create a storm yourself."

Xiao Jining suddenly realized: "Dan'er is indeed my mistress."

So Xiao Jining decided to call his most trusted minister, Jing Yuan, into the Hall of Mental Cultivation to discuss matters after he came down from court the next day.

He is going to send an imperial envoy to Jiangnan. He has read the official list in the system, and it shows that the moral value of the Jiangnan magistrate is only 31 points, which is not even half of that of Jingyuan. Decided to start with him.

It's just that the imperial envoy in charge of going to the south of the Yangtze River for verification has not yet figured out who to send to Xiao Jining, so he wants to ask Jing Yuan for advice tomorrow.

But tonight, Xiao Jining couldn't sleep, so he didn't stay in the Hall of Mental Cultivation any longer, but went out of the hall gate and walked in the imperial garden with his arms behind his back.

Because Xiao Jining had specifically instructed him, there were not many servants around him, only two eunuchs and two maids with lanterns.

Mu Kui was worried that Xiao Jining would not be able to wake up the next day, so he persuaded Xiao Jining bitterly: "The emperor wants to visit the imperial garden, so we can come during the day, but it's dark in the garden at night, and we can't see anything clearly."

"But I can't sleep." Xiao Jining said, "Besides, I used to live in the palace anyway. Am I not familiar with the plants and trees in the imperial garden? There is actually no difference between day and night."

"This..." Mu Kui was at a loss for words, and after a short pause, Mu Kui asked him again, "Is the emperor in a bad mood?"

Xiao Jining smiled noncommittal: "I can't tell, I just feel..."

Mu Kui asked him carefully: "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"I don't think anyone talks to me anymore." Xiao Ji Ning lowered his eyes, pursed his lips and said, "This imperial garden is much bigger than my garden in the Shun Palace, but I feel bored and meaningless when I take a walk here."

Xiao Jining really felt that it was boring, he was not happy at all being an emperor, and it was only now that Xiao Jining really felt a little lonely.

He used to live in Prince Shun's Mansion, and when he couldn't sleep at night, he could go out to the night market in the mansion to eat some snacks. Now he can eat more delicate and delicious food than street snacks at night, but he doesn't feel that way anymore.

In the past, he could chat and have fun with the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince, but now he can't do that. It's different when he becomes the emperor—everyone is afraid of him, but not afraid of him.

To be afraid of him is to be afraid of the power of life and death in his hands, not to be afraid of him is not to be afraid of him.

"In a few days, isn't the empress going to enter the palace?" Seeing that the smile on Xiao Jining's face gradually faded, Mu Kui not only frowned, but quickly comforted him, "If you feel bored, Your Majesty, At that time, you can talk to the queen."

When Xiao Jining heard it, he became even more bored: "Then let's forget it."

He knows what is wrong with him now, that is, he has obtained everything, but feels empty when he has not obtained anything. After all, it is because his only two relatives are outside the palace, and he has no friends in the palace, and he is happy in life. Or sorrow, no one can share, because everyone has their own life, and it is impossible for everyone to revolve around him for a lifetime.

The only person who can stay by his side for the rest of his life is the one and only one he has always wanted.

However, Xiao Jining has not met that person yet.

And he felt that it might be difficult for him to meet that person.

Now everyone thinks that he won't feel lonely after marrying the empress, but only he knows that he has nothing to do with empress Ruan Jiaren, and the combined number of times they meet is even less than that between him and Xi. I see a lot of books.

So Xiao Jining really had no way to explain to Mu Kui that Ruan Jiaren's entry into the palace had no effect on him at all.

But there is another person who knows about his relationship with Ruan Jiaren.

Xiao Jining looked up at the moon, and suddenly said: "Ah, it would be great if General Jing was here."

The author has something to say: Ah, I still feel a little tight in my chest today. I’m going to sleep after finishing the update. I didn’t write too much today. I’ll make up for it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Let’s draw 88 small red envelopes to compensate everyone today_(:з」∠ )_
