Chapter 10: Election Turmoil

The red lantern swayed, and the wind began to blow wildly.

"Queen........" a eunuch shouted at the top of his voice.

At this moment, it has just darkened, the sky is beginning to darken, and in a brightly lit hall, there is a noble woman, her clothes and jewelry are very exquisite, not only to reflect the nobility, but also not to pierce the eyes, the overall color is dark and vermilion, a pair of white and thin hands like onion roots, supporting the phoenix chair.

"Little Guizi, what are you panicking about?" The queen sat down and cut her hair, and said in a straight way.

Xiao Guizi said in a panic: "Queen Niangniang, it's not good, the second son has lost the election!" ”

The queen picked up a blue and white teacup with both hands, and when she was tasting tea, there was a crisp sound, and the teacup was broken. ”

Xiao Guizi trembled and said, "Yes...... Be...... It's ......"

"Speak quickly!" A phoenix roared and was furious, and all the subordinates of the entire hall knelt down.

"The queen is the tenth son."

"What! That cripple can also be an heir? ”

"The sky has no eyes!"

The votes in the main hall are one vote for you and I for one vote, and everyone votes more carefully, but what I never expected was that the second son, who had no suspense, could be so stuck with a cripple here.

The last vote is finally cast, and the singing is over, and the voting process is also quite interesting, he is singing and voting at the same time, voting and singing are no longer together, but it doesn't mean that others don't know the vote you sing.

Zhu Mingcheng, the imperial historian, began to read out the results of the vote.

"I now announce that, in accordance with the will of the king, a general election meeting will be held, and the results of the election are as follows: the eldest prince withdraws, the second son, 854 votes, the third son, 201 votes, the fourth son, 50 votes, the fifth son, 21 votes, the sixth son, 14 votes, the seventh son, 8 votes, the ninth son, and the tenth son, 859 votes......."

The back were all zero votes, and just as the Imperial Doctor was about to announce who would be in charge of the country, a long and shrill voice came.

"The queen drove to the ......."

When the four great Gu Ming saw that the queen was coming, they immediately stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, put their right hand on their chest, and said sincerely and sincerely: "Waiting for the queen to arrive." ”

"Excuse me, I'm just looking at your election meeting, it's okay, Lao Zhu, you continue." The queen's tone was flat and her tone was calm, and at this moment the prime minister looked at the eunuch next to him and gave him a color.

The eunuch this creature is really eight-faced, and immediately understood the meaning and quietly disappeared, and at this moment, the other ministers were sweating, how could this be read out, and everyone looked at Zhu Mingcheng together.

Zhu Mingcheng looked at the surrounding form, and immediately handed the ballot count to the queen and said with a straight face: "Such a national event, the queen came to supervise us and others, this is the number of votes, please take a look at the queen's mother." ”

"You old men, the king is not the first king, he also communicated with the palace two days ago, saying that he has fought the king of Loulan at night, has broken through Loulan, and is now preparing to attack the Dayue clan, is this a way to look forward to the early triumph of my king?"

"Disabled people can be elected by you ministers to supervise the country, thanks to your ministers are all talents, I think they are stupid, the general trend of the world and my king will unify the world, you are actually for your own small profits, regardless of the country's long-term stability, I am ashamed of you!" The queen thumped her chest and sighed.

"Queen Niangniang, this is definitely not our original intention, we also have the same idea as you, but the hundred officials voted like this, which really made me feel that there was a ghost in it, and the minister suggested that the queen mother should re-elect and vote." Zhu Mingcheng half-knelt and hoped that the queen would take over and get out of this thankless job.

"Reconsideration." The lieutenant made a statement.

"The minister also reconsidered." Taifu also agrees

"Lord Zhu is reasonable, these officials don't take the national inheritance to heart at all, and the ministers agree."

The queen was overjoyed, but for just a second, she regained her previous pride and dignity.

When I heard a disabled person in the hall, I was very angry, Lao Tzu is disabled in mobility, not brain-dead, but this is not the time for me to interject.

When Zhu Mingcheng was about to announce the re-election, the Queen Mother came from the rest area of the apse, and she was supported by Grandma Lian.

"Daughter-in-law, I heard that you are here, and the mourning family has to come and see it."

"Xiao Zhu, what did you just say?"

Zhu Mingcheng saw that the queen mother was bitter in his heart at the moment, and the second son was also happy, but now he doesn't know what's going on, but his mood is more apprehensive, on the contrary, my mood doesn't matter, it's just a disabled person, and the discriminatory words are very unhappy.

Of course, the rest of the princes know what is wrong with it, and each family is a think tank, and the current situation is not the result of these think tanks.

"Queen Mother, what do you think you should do, I will wait."

"Bastard! What do you mean by how I should be, and what do you regard the laws of the country as!"

Zhu Mingcheng wants to die at the moment, no one on either side can afford to provoke him, he looks around, who makes him the boss equivalent to the mouth of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the three divisions of the Imperial History are in charge, but after all, this is a society in which slavery and feudalism are transformed.

Several other people bowed their heads and were silent, making it difficult for Zhu Ming, he hesitated for a long time, and then said with an idea: "Queen, this election meeting is the king's will, and it must not be changed, nor can it be re-elected, otherwise of course the law will not exist." ”

The queen is not a fool, she knows where the confidence of this imperial historian Zhu Mingcheng comes from, she said with a smile: "Lord Zhu, when will I let you re-elect, don't get me wrong, I mean that the prince of the country must not be a disabled person, if he can't inherit the lineage, then the country will not be ........"

"Yes, yes, so this prince's question is still for Taifu to answer."

Zuo Wenhong's face is full of folds, and he is not young anymore, 68 years old. He glanced at the Imperial Doctor fiercely, and countless words of grass and mud came out in his heart, but the surface was peaceful to death.

He stood up in the line, faced the queen, the queen mother each saluted, and then said in a very peaceful voice: "Qi Yu Queen Mother, Queen, about the prince, the minister thinks that there is no need for whoever has the highest vote, you must become the prince, first I am the king, the king has never talked about the need to win the position of the prince with the highest number of votes, but let the old minister according to the first three votes to elect a candidate who meets the requirements, the minister is now electing the second prince as the prince, I don't know what objections the queen mother and the queen have?" ”

"The mourning family thinks that the second child is stable and has rich experience, Xiao Shi is young after all, and his image is not good, so he is not suitable to inherit the position of the prince, daughter-in-law, do you think the mourning family is reasonable."

"How dare my daughter-in-law comment on the Queen Mother's suggestion, I also think you are thoughtful, but the prison is afraid that he will not be able to do it as a teenager, and he is still a paraplegic disabled person."

I can't lie down at this time, this mother-in-law is too deceitful and too prosperous, I asked Xiao Duzi to push me in front of the queen, I smiled and said: "The queen mother is a disabled person, what does it mean, I lost my mother, all because my father did not abandon me, took pity on me, and promoted me to one of the eighteen heirs, I am physically disabled but not mentally disabled, you are a disabled person, do you dislike my father's decision, or look down on me as a disabled person, besides, who made my disability is not clear?" ”

The queen was about to open her mouth to defend herself, but I immediately interrupted.

"The queen doesn't want to explain anything, I admit that I am disabled, and it is true that the image of inheriting the throne is not good, but what you question is not my appearance, but my IQ and ability, I now solemnly declare that I am not convinced, I apply for a new competition rule to be elected as a prisoner."

The queen found that I, a person who could only sit, had no moral guilt, and she glared at me.

"Daughter-in-law, my grandson was also selected after all, although the image is not good, but your words like this make the mourning family feel that you lack the mind of a mother."

The ministers watched the queen mother and queen behave, and none of them dared to squeak, who said at this time, they didn't know how many heads they had.

The fourth child said, "Grandmother, what you always said is right. ”

The honest voice immediately annoyed the queen, and the queen's phoenix crown rang with a bell, looked at Shi Zhongmin and said: "The elders speak, what do you juniors say, how did your mother Concubine Lifei educate you." ”

Shi Zhongmin, who is usually arrogant and domineering, was also deflated, after all, she is the queen, who dares to provoke the queen mother in the harem, so she has to shut up and not say anything, but the tenth can be selected, this is all in their plan, of course he doesn't want to see the second child become bigger.

Then the queen looked at the queen mother, made a bow and said to the queen mother: "Mother, you misunderstood your daughter-in-law, I mainly think that the position of the prince should be considered, but I am stupid and didn't make it clear, which annoys the child Xiao Shi."

After the queen finished speaking, she walked to Shi Zhongtian's side, Xiao Duzi looked at this tall, graceful and luxurious woman, and then said in a surprisingly gentle tone: "Xiao Shi, how can my mother dislike you, but since you made this request, don't say that I didn't give you a chance, I will give each of you a fair chance, in order to show respect for the king, the post of supervisor is held by Shi Zhongtian, and the remaining eighteen princes are appointed as magistrates for a term of 3 years, who has good military and political achievements, You can sit firmly in this prison country with all your name, and this palace has no objections. ”

"The mourning family thinks that the daughter-in-law's decision is very interesting, and it is quite a demeanor, without losing the royal etiquette, the king's requirements must be done according to his requirements, but Xiao Shi is only a teenager after all, since he is popular, let him hang a name, and wait for him to consider staying when he becomes an adult."

The Queen Mother looked at the grandchildren with kind eyes, and said with a smile: "You, have a good experience, the country needs you, don't embarrass your grandmother." ”

The eighteen heirs all nodded their heads, indicating that they could not live up to their grandmother's expectations.
