Xiao Shiyi sneered, "How can you have any say in the person I nominate? Although the eldest prince is half Northern Di, he is truly a member of the Xiao Kingdom's royal family! Moreover, he has excellent character and cares about the world. Unlike some people with evil intentions who attempt to seize the throne through despicable means, they are truly unworthy."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in confusion.

Xiao Muyu's face flushed. "Uncle Nine, please don't be partial. Xiao Muli's status is special after all. I won't accept him becoming the emperor!"

Xiao Shiyi took a step forward, and a powerful aura suddenly emanated from him——

"This king only looks at ability and character. Xiao Muli is well-read and respectful to the wise and humble. He is far superior to some people who only use insidious tactics. This matter is settled."

At this time, Xiao Muli, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: "Uncle Emperor, you are so kind to me. I am overwhelmed. However, this matter is of great importance. I know my position is awkward. If I ascend the throne, I may find it difficult to convince the people. I ask Uncle Emperor to choose someone else."

Xiao Shiyi looked at him with a meaningful look in his eyes, "You don't have to be modest. Since I have chosen you, I must have my reasons."

Xiao Muyu looked at the two of them singing the same tune and knew that they had probably already plotted in private.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Ninth Uncle, you are so determined, could it be that he promised you something good?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

Xiao Shiyi's expression remained unchanged. "I don't need to explain my actions to you. But you, slandering me like this, are worthy of death."

Xiao Muyu was about to say something else, but Xiao Shiyi's cold gaze swept over him, and he immediately fell silent.

Xiao Shiyi looked at everyone and said seriously, "Today's matter has been decided. Anyone who objects is opposing me and the entire Xiao Kingdom."

Everyone lowered their heads, indicating that they dared not raise any more objections.

In this way, Xiao Muli ascended the throne with the help of Xiao Shiyi.

"boom--"

Xiao Muyu angrily smashed a valuable vase, scaring the palace maids and eunuchs in the room to kneel on the ground.

"I'm so pissed off! The Ninth Prince actually chose that idiot to be the emperor. Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey?"

"That's right, Uncle Nine is truly blind!"

Xiao Muye was so angry that he started cursing: "How dare that cripple like him put himself above us? This is too much!"

Xiao Muyu said viciously: "No, I must not let Xiao Muli have an easy time."

Xiao Muye's eyes lit up, "Brother, do you have an idea?"

Xiao Muyu's face was gloomy. "Now that Xiao Muli has just ascended the throne, his foundation is unstable. We can secretly contact those who are dissatisfied with him in the court and incite them to rebel."

Xiao Muye clapped his hands and cheered, "This is a very good plan."

So the two brothers began to act secretly, spreading rumors and colluding with some corrupt officials in an attempt to create chaos.

However, what they didn't know was that Xiao Muli had already noticed it. Although Xiao Muli was "disabled", he was very thoughtful. He quietly played along and deliberately spread some false information to Xiao Muyu and others.

Finally, just when Xiao Muyu thought the time was ripe and he was about to launch a rebellion, he found that he had fallen into a trap set for him by Xiao Muli himself.

Xiao Muyu and Xiao Muye were brought before Xiao Muli by the Imperial Guards. Xiao Muyu's face was filled with resentment. "How could you possibly see through our plan?"

Xiao Muli smiled faintly, "You think you have done it perfectly, but in fact, there are many loopholes. How can you covet the throne?"

"Ah! What are you so proud of? You're just relying on your uncle's close relationship to enjoy the privilege of being close to the emperor. If it weren't for the emperor's uncle's support, do you think you'd be qualified to sit on the throne?"

"Of course I'm not qualified."

"you,,,"

Xiao Muye was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Xiao Muli slowly stood up and looked down at them. "But now that I have taken this position, I will not give it up easily. As for my uncle, he has indeed helped me a lot, but the real decision of success or failure still lies with me."

"Bah! Just you?"

"Just me. No matter what means I used, the person sitting on the throne now is me, Xiao Muli, not you."

After saying that, Xiao Muli gently raised his hand and said, "Come here, take these two people to the prison and wait for your punishment."

Just then, there was a noise outside.

The man came over and said, "My nephew, please show mercy."

Xiao Muli frowned slightly, "What does this mean, Uncle Emperor? Are you going to plead for mercy for these two traitors?"

"That's not the case. I simply wish to remind you that you have just ascended the throne. If you punish your relatives harshly at this time, it may damage your reputation."

Xiao Muli sneered, "These two have committed the heinous crime of treason. If they are not severely punished, how can we convince the public?"

“There are many ways to convince people.”

Xiao Muli thought about it and realized that what Xiao Shiyi said was not entirely unreasonable.

But he didn't want to let the two people in front of him go so easily. After a moment of silence, he said, "I can spare them the execution for now, but they must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others."

"what ever."

He was just kindly reminding him that whatever he wanted to do was his business.

Xiao Muli glanced at Xiao Shiyi. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he still ordered the guards: "Give these two people fifty strokes of the cane each, and then send them back to their palaces. Without my order, they are not allowed to leave!"

"Yes!"

A few days later, a grand ceremony of enthronement was held in the palace.

Xiao Muli had only one wife before, Lin Yinnan, but what surprised everyone was that he did not make Lin Yinnan the queen, but gave her the position of a noble concubine.

Later, he married the daughters of several important officials and gave them titles one by one.

But without exception, the position of queen has always been vacant.

Harem.

"Mu Li, what do you mean?"

Hearing Lin Yinnan calling his name directly, a hint of viciousness flashed in Xiao Muli's eyes.

"What do you want to say?"

"I am your legal wife, and the position of queen should be mine! But why would you rather leave the position of queen vacant than give it to me?"

Xiao Muli looked at her coldly, "How can you guess what I am thinking? Don't think that the first wife can naturally become the queen."

Lin Yinnan was so angry that she was shaking all over. "Our Lin family has put so much effort into you, how could you treat me like this?"

"That's enough, are you done yet?"

"I......"

Lin Yinnan wanted to say something, but was frightened by Xiao Muli's expression at this moment.

Since we got married, when has he ever been so strict with me?

"Mu Li, you have changed."

Xiao Muli paused. Has he changed?

No, he hasn't changed, he has always been like this!

"If you say one more word, you will lose your position as 'Royal Concubine'."

"you......"

"Also, I am the Emperor. If you behave rudely to me again next time, you will be treated according to the palace rules."
