He did not beat around the bush and asked directly: "Uncle Emperor, since I came back to Kyoto, you have asked me to handle the affairs of the court...I want to know, Uncle Emperor, what do you mean by this?"

Xiao Tingyan raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Xuanmo lightly.

He did not answer his question, but asked: "Have you encountered any difficult problems in handling court affairs these days?"

"If you have any questions, just ask me. I will definitely tell you everything..."

Xiao Xuanmo shook his head: "I haven't encountered any difficult problems. With Prime Minister Song and the others helping me, it's quite easy."

Xiao Tingyan nodded slowly.

He picked up the tea cup, picked up the tea lid with his fingers, and slowly plucked the green tea leaves in the cup.

He took a few sips of the fragrant tea and then whispered.

"Although you are young, you handle some things fairly and objectively. You know better than anyone else what should be done and what should not be done."

"Actually, you are undoubtedly the most suitable candidate to handle the affairs of the court and control the country of Nanchu. Most of the things you have done in the past ten days have been good things that benefit the country and the people... The court was originally a bit chaotic. , under your control, it was slowly straightened out..."

Xiao Tingyan also didn't expect that Xiao Xuanmo would be so handy when doing these things. It was as if he was born to handle government affairs.

His methods are sometimes cleaner and neater than his, but they are not too extreme.

Everything is handled just right, and you can't find anything wrong.

Song Hui and others praised Xiao Xuanmo's behavior to him more than once.

Seeing how much progress he has made, Xiao Tingyan is actually quite happy.

Xiao Xuanmo's outstanding performance shows that he has not misjudged the person.

"Uncle Emperor, actually I didn't do anything. You arranged everything. I just continued to execute what you didn't finish." Xiao Xuanmo explained hurriedly, his eyes full of anxiety.

In the past few days, he heard more and more voices, all secretly telling him that the emperor's uncle intended to make him the new emperor of the Southern Crown Prince.

At first, he was extremely uneasy and thought that the emperor's uncle had deliberately sent people to test him and let him know.

For this reason, he specially came to the prince's palace to have a banquet, trying to explain to him that he was not that ambitious and had no desire to compete with the emperor's uncle for power.

Unexpectedly, the emperor's uncle didn't see him at all.

No matter how righteously he spoke, he scolded those people.

The rumors that the emperor's uncle wanted to make him the new emperor not only did not decrease, but instead grew bigger and bigger.

Until today, Song Hui came to talk to him.

Xiao Xuanmo was shocked to realize that maybe the emperor's uncle really planned this?

But he didn't want to compete with his uncle for the throne at all.

He just wants to use his abilities to make some contributions to Nanchu, and he will be satisfied.

He knows better than anyone else that the success of Nanchu today is all due to the Emperor's uncle. Apart from the Emperor's uncle, no one is qualified to dominate Nanchu and become the new emperor of Nanchu.

Xiao Xuanmo saw that Xiao Tingyan did not respond, and he became more and more anxious.

His voice became hoarse and he whispered: "Uncle... the throne of Southern Crown Prince belongs to you. No one else is qualified to hold it except you."

"I don't have much ambition. I just want to be loyal to the emperor's uncle safely and work with him to push the Southern Crown Prince into a more prosperous future! This is my biggest wish in this life. I also hope that the emperor will Uncle, you can fulfill my sincere heart!"

Xiao Xuanmo said, immediately stood up, knelt down, and knelt in front of Xiao Tingyan.

Xiao Tingyan did not move, he just lowered his eyes and looked at Xiao Xuanmo who was kneeling at his feet with a worried face.

After a long time, he asked one word at a time: "King Mo, do you really not want to be the new emperor of Nanchu?"

Xiao Xuanmo shook his head quickly without even thinking about it: "No, I don't dare to think about that position at all. This is not something that belongs to me, and I don't dare to touch it at all..."

Xiao Tingyan couldn't help but chuckle, and his eyes gradually softened when he looked at Xiao Xuanmo.

"What a fool... The throne of Southern Crown Prince is a high position that many people dream of and sacrifice everything to get. You actually said you don't want it?"

For the sake of the throne, Xiao Xuanrui and Xiao Chongshan destroyed their consciences, lost all conscience, used any means and at any cost, and did all the bad things. Even if they died, they wanted to climb to this position.

But now, he personally presented the throne to Xiao Xuanmo, and he actually said he didn't want it?

Is there anyone more stupid than Xiao Xuanmo in this world?

Xiao Tingyan suppressed the smile on her lips and asked calmly: "King Mo, do you really not want it, or do you dare not ask for it?"

Xiao Xuanmo's body trembled slightly.

There was some hesitation in his eyes.

"I...I don't want to, and I don't dare."

"Uncle, please don't embarrass me. I am not qualified to sit in such an important position as the Southern Crown Prince... No one is qualified to sit except you."

Xiao Tingyan slowly stood up and walked to Xiao Xuanmo's side.

He leaned over, reached out and grabbed his arm, and dragged him up.

"If I wanted to sit on this throne, I would have ascended the throne as emperor long ago. There is no need to wait until today to personally entrust the throne to you."

"King Mo, Nan Chu is in a precarious situation now. We don't have time to argue about these meaningless things. The country cannot be without a king for a day, otherwise, Nan Chu will be in chaos sooner or later. Now, because there is no emperor in charge, Nan Chu Chu Yin is on the verge of collapse."

"You should be able to feel it these days when you are dealing with government affairs. Now the Southern Governor is in urgent need of an emperor who can control the overall situation, control the court, and have thunderous means. I have observed my Xiao family, except You can do it, and no one else can."

Xiao Xuanmo was startled and looked at Xiao Tingyan with great confusion.

"Uncle Emperor, why don't you sit on the throne? Obviously, you are the most suitable person. When it comes to the means of governing the country, I can't compare with you..."

Xiao Tingyan patted his shoulder heavily and interrupted him: "Some of your views and practices are no worse than my king...many of your decisions are beyond my expectation. Although now, you You are not as good as me, but I believe that in one year, or five years, or ten years, one day you will surpass me."

"King Mo, you have great potential. As long as you are given time, you will definitely become a wise and mighty king. But I... I have other people or things in my heart, and I don't have that much energy to deal with government affairs. With state affairs. Especially when it comes to people I care about, I can't be impartial and don't care..."

Xiao Xuanmo's eyes flickered. Although the emperor's uncle did not name him by name, he recognized the person he was referring to in his words.
