Chapter 469: Blackmail

When he found out that the seat number he took out represented His Majesty, the prince of Dian understood what was going on.

At the same time, he understood why everyone in front of him had not noticed something so obvious.

There is a shady curtain in this lottery, but this shady curtain is too big, a black curtain bigger than the sky, and it is not something that he can uncover in a mere generation......

Tang Ning looked at the prince of Dian, he didn't expect that there would really be such a person in this world.

Just now he was the closest to the prince of the king of Dian, so he naturally saw the movements in his hand clearly, but he couldn't hit Emperor Chen, and it was not only the prince of the king of Dian who was unlucky, maybe even his Zhonglang general would also be in the soup.

He turned his head to look at Xiao Jue, glanced at the prince of Dian with a vague gaze, and secretly made a gesture to Xiao Jue.

"The Son, the Son......"

The prince of Dian had a blank mind, standing in place, only feeling a burst of dizziness, and the voice in his ears seemed to float from somewhere.

Xiao Jue grabbed his shoulder, shook it vigorously, and said, "Your Majesty asked you, is there a problem with this award box?" ”

The prince of Dian came back to his senses, and said in a dry and hoarse voice: "No, there is no ......"

Emperor Chen's gaze withdrew from the body of the prince of Dian and said, "Since there is no problem, let's start." ”

"Shizi is not feeling well, I will help you sit down." Xiao Jue helped the prince of Dian Wang, sat down in his place, patted his hand vaguely, and whispered in his ear: "One hundred thousand taels, this time the prize is for you to draw." ”

The body of the prince of Dian Wang trembled, his eyes finally returned to clarity, and he looked up at Xiao Jue suddenly.

Xiao Jue looked at him, lowered his voice, and said, "Your time is running out." ”

"Good!"

The prince of Dian had hope in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to speak.

One hundred thousand taels is not a small amount for him, but if today's matter is messed up, no matter how many hundred thousand taels he uses, he will not be able to recover it, and there is no need to hesitate at all.

Xiao Jue sat back in place and glanced at Tang Ning.

Tang Ning stepped forward and said, "For the sake of fairness, next, I will choose one person from here and draw the first chosen one." ”

His eyes swept through the crowd, and finally stopped on the body of the prince of the king of Dian, and said with a smile: "This is the first candidate, it is better to let the prince smoke it." ”

As if he was worried that others would rob him, the prince of Dian walked forward quickly and said, "Since this is the case, I will start ......"

The moment he quickly put his hand into the box, his whole body relaxed, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

His hand stirred in the box for a moment before he slowly took it out, spread out his palm, and there was a note in the palm of his hand.

"Number One." He looked at the note in his hand, looked left and right, and wondered, "Who is No. 1?" ”

When he looked at the front, the prince of Dian showed a look of shock on his face, walked forward quickly, knelt on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is deeply blessed, and he is the real chosen one......"

Tang Ning observed the expressions of the crowd and found that there were not many people in the audience who were surprised, as if they had expected this to be the outcome.

When King Duan and King Kang still had a look of surprise on their faces, King Huai had already stood up, bowed to Emperor Chen, and said, "Son, congratulations to the emperor." ”

At this time, many people had already gotten up and stepped forward.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty......"

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and it seems that even Heaven favors Your Majesty."

"This is nature, Your Majesty is the real chosen one......"

……

Tang Ning glanced at them, a group of sloppy people, clumsy acting skills, exaggerated expressions, Emperor Chen is actually very useful for this, the king of a country, the second and third rank of the imperial court, this face said not to want......

Emperor Chen looked at the prince of Dian who was kneeling on the ground, a trace of uncertainty flashed in his eyes, he looked at Tang Ning, and said: "There are so many people, but I have been chosen, this matter is really a coincidence......"

Tang Ning looked at him and said: "There is a providence in the underworld, Your Majesty is a person of destiny, and he will naturally be favored by God, and this gift will be sent to the palace by the ministers......"

When encountering such an emperor who wants to save face, it is inevitable that he will wear small shoes for him somewhere in the future, and it is better to follow the local customs.

After everyone congratulated them, they all returned to their positions, and Liu Feng of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward, looked at Tang Ning and asked, "Your Majesty is destined to return, I don't know who the next Chosen One with such luck is......"

As soon as Liu Feng said this, everyone who had just sat down raised their heads one after another.

This sentence is very painful, in Chen State, the only person who can be described as "the chosen one" is His Majesty today, no matter who is elected, it seems that he has committed a taboo.

This is an omission of the Ministry of War, if it is not handled well, I am afraid that it will cause His Majesty to be dissatisfied, as soon as Liu Feng said this, it is equivalent to directly roasting Tang Ning on the fire.

Tang Ning glanced at Liu Feng and said with a smile: "Why don't you try it?" ”

Liu Feng took a step back and hurriedly said, "How can this official be virtuous, how dare he act on behalf of the sky?" ”

Tang Ning smiled slightly, turned to face Emperor Chen, bowed and said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven of a country, and he is ordered by Heaven, His Majesty's meaning is the will of Heaven, and the ministers have the courage to implore Your Majesty to deign to draw the second person of today......"

The officials and magnates present were stunned at first, and then looked at Tang Ning with surprised eyes.

He played very beautifully with this hand, and completely resolved the dilemma that Liu Feng brought him, the chosen one is the one chosen by the Son of Heaven, and no one can find any problems.

It is said that this Lord Tang is talented and intelligent, and he is very clever, and today he realized that the rumors are true, no wonder His Majesty values him so much.

"Okay." Emperor Chen did not refuse, stood up again, and said, "In this way, I will also join in this excitement." ”

He walked over to the prize box, pulled out one at random, and read, "Two thousand three hundred and fifty-six." ”

The number on the note is the seat number, the higher the number, the farther the position, the cheaper the ticket, and the ticket for this area can be bought by ordinary people even if they grit their teeth.

As soon as Emperor Chen's words fell, one of the guards walked out quickly, and after a while, he brought someone over.

The people who came were dressed ordinarily, and their appearance was ordinary, and they belonged to the kind that could not be found when they were thrown into the pile, and when they were brought over, they were still in a trance, and after coming back to their senses, they immediately knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "The grass ......, the grass people knock on Your Majesty!" ”

For a Xiaomin of the Beijing Division, he may not have the opportunity to see the emperor in his life, let alone the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the magnates of the Manchu Dynasty.

At this time, the news of the winner has gradually spread, and the quiet arena has become noisy again.

"Two thousand three hundred and fifty-six, I'm two thousand three hundred and fifty-five, it's almost me......"

"That's the old king of Dongxiang, I don't know what luck he went, this is a gift of 10,000 taels of silver......"

"Even this mud leg can be drawn, where is the reason, where is the reason...... is there, by the way, isn't there another one, there is still a chance to ......"

"Didn't you hear that the other one was chosen."

"Who is it?"

"Your Majesty today."

"What, this, isn't this ......"

"Shhhh

……

After the big competition was completed and the lottery was over, Emperor Chen drove back to the palace, and everyone left.

Xiao Jue looked at the prince of the king of Dian who was pale and palpitated, and reminded: "Don't forget ...... prince."

Tang Ning glanced at the prince of Dian and asked casually, "Don't forget anything?" ”

Xiao Jue said: "100,000 taels of silver!" ”

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "What 100,000 taels of silver?" ”

Xiao Jue stared at him and said in surprise: "Didn't you ask me to ask him for 100,000 taels?" ”

Tang Ning was even more surprised and asked, "When did I say that?" ”

Xiao Jue said: "Then you put up a finger and made a fist, isn't it the ......Fanbang number you taught me?"

Downing looked at him and explained, "I mean, the number one note is in his hand. ”

"So that's ......" Xiao Jue suddenly realized, then looked at him and asked, "Then do you want this 100,000 taels?" ”

"Yes."
