Chapter 617: Candidate Decision
Xiao Shengxia walked up to the hall and sat down on the dragon chair steadily, he proclaimed lifelong equality, and then raised his hand to signal all the courtiers to bow down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoI've been used to this kind of etiquette on TV for a long time, so it's not new to see it again. It's just that the candidate has changed, and it hurts a little in the eyes.
"All Aiqing can remember my words in their hearts yesterday, have you used to eat yesterday and this morning?" Xiao Shengxia asked casually, but no one reacted quickly. Xiao Shengxia looked a little embarrassed, but I was secretly happy. He has always claimed to be intelligent, how could he ask such a foolish sentence when he was in court?
Those who have not eaten will certainly consider continuing to look at the number of answers, and then decide whether or not to tell the truth. And the person who can't hide the food will not take it for granted that his behavior is violated. So all in all, with this embarrassing situation, it can completely belong to him, Xiao Shengxia, and bring humiliation on himself.
"Well, what's the matter, do you think there is no need to answer my words?" Xiao Shengxia changed his tone, and immediately frightened a few "ministers who steal food" who had long been timid in their hearts. "No, no, no, how dare the ministers have such thoughts, it's just ...... It's just that a minister was obviously shocked by Xiao Shengxia's sudden change in painting style, and he hurriedly knelt down again to plead guilty, and his body involuntarily trembled.
Ahem, needless to say, this minister is simply stupid. At this time, he showed such a weak heart, which must have proved the true situation of three hundred taels of silver here. And Xiao Shengxia, who seemed to be thinking of it together, put away a stern touch at the corner of his mouth, and then said with a slight joke: "Huh? What is Aiqing only? Is it just because I had breakfast? “
"Ahh Your Majesty, WeChen...... Wechen didn't. The first emperor died first, how dare Weichen make such a disrespectful salute? The minister's face was flustered, but his words were still struggling. And after he made a sophistry that he couldn't go to the village and didn't go to the store, it was easily punctured because of Xiao Shengxia's next sentence.
"Okay, I believe you, but please Aiqing wipe the corner of her mouth with rice porridge first." "Ah, what, I forgot to wipe it before I went out?" The minister was obviously in a hurry, and his casual words were flawed. And since his words were spoken, they were already overwhelmed, and soon caused a lot of discussion among the courtiers.
"Huh? I really didn't expect that Lord Ye seemed to abide by etiquette on weekdays, and he also respected the first emperor very much. But because of such things as taking care of appetite, he did such a great rebellion. "Yes, yes, it's really unseemly, there are many people who drop the chain at a critical moment." The voice gradually spread, and a few more words passed through the mouth of the crowd to my ears.
Uh, isn't it just something to eat, and as for saying it so unforgivingly? I complained silently in my heart, and I also witnessed the minister's annoyance. Hey, you really can't anger the people who have been forbearing, because ..... The magnitude of the outbreak is often greater than anyone expected.
"You guys! You are a rabble, and you know every day that you can magnify the little mistakes that hold people. I'm just really hungry and a little unwell, so I only ate a few mouthfuls of rice porridge, as for what you say is so unbearable? And your Majesty, too, since you know that Weichen is violating etiquette, you can directly dispose of me refreshingly, why do you laugh at me in front of this person? “
The words fell, and the atmosphere in the court was shrouded in silence. And I clearly saw a moment of confusion in Xiao Shengxia's eyes. Oh, is this minister very bold enough to say such a thing that I have been thinking about saying but it is inconvenient to stand.
"Uh, Lord Ye can't say that, aren't you scolding Your Majesty as well?" "Yes, yes, my lord, you said that we have nothing to do with each other, how can you blame Your Majesty for the following crimes?" Another noisy burst of words erupted, and this time it was Xiao Shengxia himself who interrupted and stopped.
"That's enough, don't talk about it, isn't there anyone in the court who violated the fasting covenant yesterday except Lord Ye?" The ministers fell into silence, and Lord Ye was also a little ashamed and a little annoyed. "Don't think you're hiding well enough to fool everyone, including me. So, unless you have no reason in your heart, you may be qualified to blame others. Otherwise, shut your tongue quickly! “
After Xiao Shengxia finished speaking, the noise among the ministers seemed to cease to exist. It seems that the person who cared about his mouth yesterday really occupied most of the court. I understood all this in my heart, but I didn't say anything about it, and I concocted it with Xiao Shengxia. And Lord Ye, who fell into a state of madness on the side, finally had a peaceful state emotionally.
He first knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Shengxia to confess his guilt, and then said the words in his heart in a clear manner. "Back to Your Majesty, this time for the sake of the charter, it is indeed Wei Chen's mistake first, and Wei Chen's words were also said without thinking about it in a hurry. I thought that His Majesty would stand in the queue of most people and ask Weichen for his crimes, but I didn't expect His Majesty to be fair and clear, and he also had the judgment he had read. So..... Wechen can guarantee you that for the rest of the day, Wechen will abide by the rules of fasting, but at the end of the festival. ”
Lord Ye sincerely expressed his true thoughts in his heart, but Xiao Shengxia turned to relax his words. "No need, Aiqing is also an elderly minister, if you really can't help it, just go with the flow and eat a little. I'm not entirely unreasonable. Besides......" Xiao Shengxia deliberately dragged out the extension of the end note, and then walked down the hall and continued to speak clearly to a minister with wandering eyes.
Besides, this kind of thing is really not something that Aiqing alone can represent the "will of the people" if she adheres to the concept of insistence. You, if you have these words from the heart, it is enough, and you should not force your body to make an embarrassing act that hurts your body. Xiao Shengxia said, and all the ministers present sighed in response.
"Then Weichen would like to thank Your Majesty for your leniency...... Lord Ye made another pious kowtow, and his body, which had not yet completely prostrate, was quickly pulled up by Xiao Shengxia again." No need to be polite. Xiao Shengxia said softly, and his words were completely different from the previous tone. What kind of "split personality" is he, and why can there be such a big contrast between the attitudes of people in front of people and in the back of people?
My mind was filled with confusion, and then I unconsciously focused my eyes on his face. I wanted to see him thoroughly, clearly, but found that all I could see was a cloudy fog. "Okay, that's all for me, if you really can't bear this prohibition of eating, you can adjust a little bit according to your body. Not only Ye Aiqing, but the rest of the old ministers of the dynasty can have such rights. “
Xiao Shengxia said his words concisely, and the faces of the courtiers gradually showed a look of relief, some of them were already over half a hundred years old, if they really lost their lives in order to uphold the old rules, then how could it be a sentence that was not worth deliberately generalizing? I pondered in my heart, and agreed with Xiao Shengxia's approach with a fair attitude. And what I know more clearly in my heart is that there is one more thing, today, it seems that I can't avoid this opportunity to vote for the candidate to guard the imperial tomb.
"Okay, let's move on to the second thing I said yesterday, everyone present raised their hands to vote on the candidates for garrisoning the imperial mausoleum that they agreed in their hearts." Xiao Shengxia said this sentence like a prophet when my thoughts were wandering. His orders were obeyed, and the decision was made quickly, and I froze in place, waiting for him to consult with me.
"Oh? Why did all the Aiqing decide to let the eleventh prince go? Obviously, the child is still young. After Xiao Shengxia finished speaking, he miraculously reversed the decision of the ministers, they temporarily changed their votes, and even positioned the candidate as the fifth prince who did not perform well on weekdays.
Yes, yes, just continue with this development. I had a little calculation in my heart, and my face gradually relaxed. Haha, no one voted for Xiao Rui according to Xiao Shengxia's wishes, which is not a good thing. But...... If Xiao Rui really continued to stay in the palace, would the crisis be much less? I had no idea about it......
"Alright, now it's your turn, my concubine." Xiao Shengxia finally said such a question, and I had to rely on the bold guess in my heart to decide the candidate. "I ...... I think His Royal Highness King Rui is the most suitable candidate. The words fell, and the long silence condensed the air around them. My breathing seemed a little tight, and my expression towards Xiao Shengxia was full of apprehension.
At this critical juncture, I don't have the slightest confidence in what I just confided. In the end, whether this answer guessed Xiao Shengxia's intentions, and whether it was in line with Xiao Rui's plan, all of this has now become an unsolved number, and only time and situation can give me a definite answer.
"Oh~ Concubine Ai chose King Rui? Why is this so? "Xiao Shengxia knowingly said this, while I opened my mouth and temporarily compiled a theory of rhetoric." Well, in fact, I don't know what to say, probably because I think that His Royal Highness King Rui is the prince who was also favored and valued by the previous emperor, and his virtue and character need to be honed more, so he gave birth to this idea. ”
"Oh, is it really just because of that, not what it says?" Xiao Shengxia asked in his words, and I simply opened my words and signaled him to take the initiative to say the words clearly. "If you want to say anything, please say it directly, or what kind of speculation do you still have about me?" After asking this frankly, Xiao Shengxia finally stopped beating around the bush and bluntly stated his true thoughts.
"I used to think that you had some thoughts about yesterday, so I thought about taking revenge on you." Xiao Shengxia's questioning was quickly denied by me. I shook my head again and again, and then said, "It turns out that I have been with you for so long, Your Majesty, and you still make such jokes with me to this day. This curiosity and exploration is a kind of psychology that everyone has, and where can I care about these things with a small belly? ”
My words are full of frank feelings. As for Xiao Rui's teasing of me yesterday, I had already seen it. If he really didn't have this move in his complete plan, then I would be willing to suffer for the time being for the sake of the long term.
"Well, if you really don't want to love the concubine's wanton revenge, then I also think that the concubine's female proposal has some truth. I choose to agree. Xiao Shengxia's words clearly stated his position, and his words did not surprise me, and sure enough, the candidate he envisioned in his heart was really Xiao Rui's person.
"Weichen, Weichen also agrees with the meaning of the saint, and thinks that His Royal Highness King Rui is the most suitable person." "That'...... The minister also chose the wise king with the people. Ying He's words came slowly, but I could clearly see the faces of these people. Obviously, the people they chose were the five princes and the eleventh......
I silently sighed in my heart, and then I realized a truth. Well, sure enough, seeing the wind makes the rudder's moves suitable for any moment. And those who are good at verbal arguments happen to be the best example of this behavior with their own good tongues.
"Well, since the ministers have widely refuted their opinions, then let's conduct another round of opinion voting in accordance with the regulations." Xiao Shengxia said that, and poured down three wooden chatters with different numbers written on them from the inside of his clothes.
"Well, let this thing decide, these numbers are meant to represent the candidates for the prince that the Aiqing just mentioned. This column means the second prince, this column means the eleventh prince, and this is the fifth prince. Let's make up your mind quickly. As soon as the words fell, the ministers scurried like headless flies.
As the minutes ticked by, the queue was in an orderly manner. Xiao Shengxia saw that the time was gradually ripe, so he stopped at the ministers and said, "Okay, presumably everyone has already made a decision!" "The discourse slowly landed, and the ministers gave it a magnificent echo." Be! The ministers have already made up their minds. Hearing this, Xiao Shengxia couldn't help but say, "Oh? Master Lee? Didn't you muttered at first that you wanted to choose the eleventh brother? Why, why did you suddenly change your mind and choose Ruiwang instead? After Xiao Shengxia finished speaking, he looked into the distance and looked at the rest of the general trend.
Well, the situation turned out to be very surprising as a result of the previous discussion. However, if you extrapolate it according to common sense, you can still understand most of it.......
