Chapter 520: Knighted
After a long time, the crying finally stopped.
Shao Yuan staggered out of Shao Ning's embrace. He wiped away his tears with his sleeves and adjusted his appearance a little, then prostrate on the ground and saluted: "The grass people see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" β
In all dynasties, there were always people who spent money to donate an idle position of "outsider", and over time, "outside" became a general term for the rich, just like Shao Yuanwai, who actually did not have an official and a half-job.
Xiao Jing quickly stepped forward to support the poor old man, and said warmly: "You don't have to be like this, and Your Majesty doesn't want you to be like this." Father and son are humane, even if you are really an adoptive father, the grace of his nurturing is as heavy as Mount Tai, and there is no difference from his biological father...... Your Majesty doesn't want you to be so angry. β
Shao Ning, who was still choking on the side, nodded hurriedly, but Shao Yuanwai stubbornly bowed down again, and said: "This matter is not allowed, how can the grass people be proud of their achievements and forget the distinction between monarchs and ministers because of a little affection?" Your Majesty's first ascension to the Great Treasure is the time to establish popularity, grace and prestige, how can you break the rules and let others have disrespect for you because of the grass people alone? β
He bowed tremblingly, refusing to get up no matter how much Xiao Jing persuaded him.
Tears welled up in Shao Ning's red eyes again.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world. At this time, Shao Yuanwai's first consideration was still the child - even if he might not be his own bloodline at all, the love of licking calves was still not diminished at all!
"Dad, get up quickly, I can't stand your courtesy......"
Shao Ning persuaded him, and Shao Yuanwai kowtowed vigorously and said: "Your Majesty, there is a discipline in the palace, and there is a law in the court, and the grass people can't afford to be your 'father'." When I came, the father-in-law told me that since you are the blood of the late prince, you should respect your biological father, instead of condescending to the grass people...... If this sentence is known to outsiders, how will the world perceive you? And how much gossip will come out? The grass people dare to say a word, I'm afraid that this throne will ......"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but fall to the ground with tears in his eyes.
Finally, Shao Ning gritted his teeth and said, "I understand this intention, let's be even." β
He wanted to shout "Daddy" as happily as he had done beforeβeven in the most impatient tone of the rebellious period.
It's a pity that it is impossible for him to turn back today, and it is impossible for him to change from the emperor back to an ordinary person.
Shao Ning also knew that no matter how softly he begged, Shao Yuanwai would not agree - only by really showing the power of the king would he stand up willingly.
Sure enough, after hearing Shao Ning's "golden mouth", Shao Yuanwai straightened up under Xiao Jing's support - although his body was still so rickety.
Shao Ning personally helped him to the edge of a chair and helped him sit down.
The two began to talk again. This conversation sounds like a right game, but it's actually a shush:
"How are everyone in the family?"
"With this experience, will Shaw Brothers' business be lost?"
β¦β¦
After confirming that the Shao family was not in much condition, Shao Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief. He stood up suddenly, pressed Shao Yuanwai who wanted to stand up with him with his hand, and said firmly: "I have a will for you, but there are no outsiders this time, you just sit and receive the order." β
With that, he smiled and said, "You are my adoptive father and one of my closest people in this world. This affection alone has been nurtured by me, which is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea, so I will issue an edict to confer on you the Duke of Qi in a few days to repay your kindness. β
Shao Yuanwai was shocked when he heard this. He was just about to say goodbye, but Shao Ning, who had been prepared, immediately said: "This dynasty rules the world with filial piety. You are my adoptive father, and I thank you for your kindness to confer the position of a prince, which will only become a beautiful talk outside, and many people will praise my filial piety, and no one will say anything irresponsible. β
Shao Yuanwai still wanted to argue, but Shao Ning's words were very reasonable, so he thought about it and sat down silently.
Xiao Jing was a little sad, because there was another important joint in this: if Shao Ning recognized his ancestors and inherited the unification, then Shao Yuan would have no successor; Although the title of the Duke of Guo is noble, there is no one in the Shao family to inherit, and Shao Yuanwai is already half of the age when his body has entered the earth, even if he gets the title, he will not be able to enjoy it for long.
Therefore, no one cares about the identity of Shao Yuan's foreign businessman; Even those who have doubts about the new emperor will only push the boat along with the tide on this issue and will not embarrass Shao Ning.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jing couldn't help but peek at Shao Ning, and was a little curious:
This kid usually looks cynical, and he tossed for a long time to become a reporter, but he didn't expect to be quite quick to open up in politics after becoming the emperor......
Could it be that this inheritance is also proof that "Shao Ning is the blood of the late prince"?
The two chatted for another half an hour, and Shao Ning reluctantly asked Shao Yuan to be sent out of the palace.
Seeing his father's figure walking farther and farther, Shao Ning suddenly turned around and said, "You say, what they said won't lie to me, right?" Is my biological father really the crown prince? β
Seeing Xiao Jing's embarrassed face, Shao Ning smiled again and said to himself: "They said yes, then it should be, otherwise how did they know about the birthmark on my lower abdomen?" Except for my mother-in-law, it may be ...... Ahem, in short, my birthmark has a unique shape, except for my family and the mother who delivered the baby, others should not know.
In addition, do you remember the time when we were abducted into the mountains and finally rescued by Lu Shanshan? Didn't there be a guy who was shot in the face at the time, and you later confirmed with her that she didn't shoot this person, right?
I also learned yesterday that the families that originally supported the old prince had formed an alliance a long time ago, and they had been sending people to protect me secretly, as long as my life was not in danger, they would not take action - as for killing that person, I was afraid that he would attract a large number of bandits.
If it weren't for the fact that I really had a special identity, they didn't have to be like this at all, and if they wanted to seize power, they could just find someone to pretend to be, why spend so much effort on me, you say? β
Xiao Jing has to say that his speculations are logical.
In fact, Shao Ning repeatedly suspected that these were just psychologically trying to find a way for himself to return to his original life circle, but he would find that this was simply impossible, and he could only slowly give up such an idea.
"Alright, let's not talk about that." Shao Ning suddenly laughed, and said a little mysteriously: "Actually, I still have a good thing to say and something I want to ask you for help with, which one do you want to hear first?" β
The corners of Xiao Jing's mouth twitched twice, and he pointed to the door helplessly and said, "Can I go back first?" β
