Chapter 821 was a hit

Wang Ping'an listened to Queen Wang's words, sighed, and said, "The little nun and the emperor have done things together?" What kind of rituals are you doing? ”

Queen Wang snorted and said, "How do I know what they are doing, is it possible that when they do it, I still have to watch from the side, and hand them hand towels and tea?" ”

She said this with anger, and after she finished speaking, she felt inappropriate, and she lost her identity as a queen a little too much, so she had to add another sentence: "I'm afraid that the emperor will be tired, so I will send him delicious food, make up for his body, and send black chicken." ”

"Black chicken?" Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "This can indeed make up for the lack of work, but the effect is better when a woman eats it." For example, stewed black chicken with red beans, yellow essence, and tangerine peel can nourish blood and strengthen the body......"

Before he finished speaking, Queen Wang snorted and said, "Next time, I won't send black chicken, just send yellow essence and let them eat enough!" ”

Wang Ping'an was stunned for a moment, and thought: "The anger is so big, why is she a bit of a shrew now, even if she dared to think about these words before, she may not dare to say it!" ”

Queen Wang said: "Brother, my sister plans to send the little nun out of the palace as soon as possible, so as not to be annoyed by it." As soon as the matter of Lichu is over, send her away, and you will have to do it! ”

Wang Ping'an frowned, he was going to send Wu Meiniang out so soon, but if he didn't send her away, depending on the queen's meaning, it was possible to secretly plot against her, it was too common for someone to die in the palace, and the emperor couldn't stay by Wu Meiniang's side all the time, if she was plotted, it was estimated that it would be difficult to find out.

Wang Ping'an said: "Sister, it seems inappropriate to send her away so soon." Originally, today's emperor wanted to make Zhong'er the crown prince, but Xiao Yu jumped out, and under the chaos and chaos, he couldn't directly establish Zhong'er, so it was changed to a lottery, I don't know what the relationship between Xiao Yu and Xiao Fox is, but relatives? ”

Queen Wang was taken aback, shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of it before. Ah, if this is the case, Xiao Fox is still very threatening. Brother, think of a way, how can you get rid of Xiao Fox? ”

Wang Ping'an grinned, is there any mistake, the palace fight is your woman's business, how can I have the ability to kill a concubine, and besides, Concubine Xiao Shu has someone to repair it, and I don't need to make a move!

He said, "This ...... I'm not familiar with the things in the palace, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help with this! Sister, you'll have to figure it out yourself. ”

Queen Wang sighed, she also knew that it was not possible to ask Wang Ping An for this matter, so she did not force it again.

The two talked for a while, and Wang Ping'an immediately retired.

The more Queen Wang thinks about it, the more she is a queen, but she can't help a little concubine. But she couldn't think of a good way, so she could only give up, after a while, she remembered that the empty little nun was coming, and she had some means to deal with the little nun, and now her heart was a little more balanced, and she planned to wait for Li Zhong to become the prince, and immediately cross the river and tear down the bridge, and drive the little nun out of the palace.

In the next two days, the ministers of the DPRK and China were busy, and the crown prince was to draw lots, which had not been done before, and there were no classics to check, so they had to innovate. As long as everything has something to do with the "new", then the trouble is indispensable, and in order to occupy a place in this grand event and leave a name in history, the ministers naturally came up with ideas one after another, and made the lottery matter like a sacrifice and a celebration, which is nondescript.

On the auspicious day of the zodiac, Li Zhi personally led a group of ministers, as well as the concubines with princes, to the Taimiao, to worship the ancestors of the Li family, and began to draw lots.

The ritual of the sacrifice is quite cumbersome, the weather is hot at this time, and after more than two hours of rituals, even if the person is physically strong, it is inevitable that his physical strength will be exhausted, and those elderly ministers have a precursor to heat stroke.

For example, Xiao Yu, he is over seventy years old, even if he plays soy sauce at the ceremony, he can't stand it, sacrifice to the ancestors of the Tang royal family, but the ministers are not allowed to stand, they all have to kneel, the whole ceremony is simply to kneel and kowtow, listen to the sacrifice, and then kowtow, then listen to the bells and drums, and then kowtow...... In the end, you don't have to think about knocking, as long as the eunuch above makes a sound, the ministers' heads will hit the ground, no matter why!

Wang Ping'an was sweating profusely, crying bitterly in his heart, this kind of thing is really too cumbersome, ordinary people are fine, but this royal one is too terrible, it seems that if the living people are not tossed and dizzy, they can't show their nostalgia for their ancestors!

Finally, the sacrifice came to an end. Chu Suiliang stepped forward and read the article on why he wanted to establish a prince, he personally wrote it, according to his temper, anyway, how can people not understand, he will write it.

After listening in a drowsy manner for a long time, Wang Ping'an heard a voice, and Chu Suiliang asked the ministers to pray for a quarter of an hour. In fact, this is to let the emperor and the ministers go to the thatched house, to make it convenient, otherwise kneeling for two hours, who can stand it, it doesn't matter if the minister is suffocated, but what if the emperor is suffocated, do you want to turn the emperor into the first emperor!

The ministers went one after another to make it convenient, and Wang Ping'an naturally went, and he went to the thatched house under the leadership of the little eunuch. Okay, the thatched house of the Taimiao is really big enough, enough for hundreds of people at the same time, it seems that the people who built the Taimiao also understand the sacrificial process, so they built such a humanized big thatched house.

After Wang Ping'an was convenient, as soon as he came out, he saw a small official nodding and coming over, accompanied by a smile and said: "Wang Xiangye, the subordinate Xiao Sihui, I was ordered by Xiao Niangniang, I have something to discuss with you, please take a step to speak." ”

When Wang Ping'an heard that it was Xiao Sihui, his face immediately sank, and he shouted: "You are a mere official, why did you come to participate in such a major ceremony?" ”

This kind of ceremony is regulated, and officials who are not of sufficient rank can not come to participate at all, otherwise how many officials in Chang'an will come, everyone will come, and there is not so much place for them to kneel in Taimiao!

Xiao Si retreated to Concubine Xiao Shu's order and came to explore Wang Ping'an's tone. Since she knew that the prince was established by lot, Concubine Xiao Shufei moved around, but unfortunately she didn't have any strong reinforcements in the court, only Xiao Sihui could help, but Xiao Sihui's official position was too small, and she was not qualified to associate with *** at all, and she couldn't ask anyone.

In desperation, Xiao Siwei had no choice but to harden his face and come to Wang Ping'an, this belongs to seeking medical treatment due to illness, he still doesn't know about Wang Ping'an and Xiao Shufei's face-turning, and he thinks that with his three-inch tongue, he can make some friendship with Wang Ping'an and get some news!

Xiao Sihui saw Wang Ping'an's face darkened, and thought: "Ah, so don't give face, draw lots to set up the prince, but everyone has a chance, if Su Jie really becomes the prince, you are not afraid that I will retaliate against you, then I will be a real relative of the crown prince!" ”

But before he could show his three-inch incorruptible tongue, Wang Ping'an didn't give him a chance at all, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "You bastard, what do you want to say to your own face?" Ah, I see, you're trying to cheat and mess up the lottery ceremony! Hmph, this matter must be told to the emperor, you just wait to be punished! ”

After speaking, Wang Ping'an flicked his sleeves and strode away. At this kind of moment, he is most afraid of vacillation, and he must not do things that are left and right, otherwise it will cause suspicion among people in his camp, especially in this kind of public occasion, how can he follow Xiao Si to find a place to talk, this is a big taboo!

Xiao Si's retirement is lowly and small, he can't understand the mentality of the ***, he saw Wang Ping'an so faceless, he was really shocked and angry, he was also a relative of the emperor and the country, if he made a little effort to go around, he could get around with Wang Ping'an, why was he despised to such a point!

Xiao Si was so angry that his face turned purple, he stood at the door of the thatched house, and said hatefully: "When I go home, tie a straw man, write your name, stab every day, fight every day, I see how long you can be arrogant!" ”

This is the door of the thatched house, people come and go, Xiao Siwei is talking to himself here, and it happened to be heard, this person is not someone else, it is actually the eunuch Mi Xiaomiao who is proud of the spring breeze!

After Mi Xiaomiao finished going to the thatched house, just after washing, he thought that the hand towel inside was dirty, and he didn't like to use the things that everyone used, so he was shaking his hands, but suddenly saw a green-robed little official standing at the door, muttering about the grass man.

Mi Xiaomiao looked ahead and saw Wang Ping'an's back, and immediately understood that this little official was cursing Wang Ping'an. He and Wang Ping'an can be regarded as iron buddies, and of course he is unwilling to be cursed by Wang Ping'an.

Pretending not to hear anything, Mi Xiaomiao coughed and said, "This, hey, what about you, go get me a handkerchief, so blind!" He wanted to teach this little official a lesson for Wang Ping'an.

Xiao Siwei was startled, turned around, and saw that it was Mi Xiaomiao, Master Mi didn't recognize him, he could recognize Master Mi. Xiao Si hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, let's take a handkerchief for Master Mi." ”

Mi Xiaomiao sighed, he has a problem, that is, he doesn't like others to call him father-in-law, and likes to be called Mi Da, but only people who are familiar with him know about his problem, but how does this person know?

Mi Xiaomiao said: "That's it, we can't wait here." By the way, you look familiar, what's your name? Where do you work? ”

Xiao Si retreated and hurriedly said: "Humble Xiao Si retreats ......"

Without waiting for him to finish, Mi Xiaomiao said, "You are the uncle of Concubine Shuniang, right?" Our family remembered! With his hands behind his back, he didn't answer Xiao Si retreat, and he swaggered away.

Hey, Xiao Siwei is angry, how can these big guys be virtuous! Look down on me, I look down on you, my ancestors also had emperors, how old are you! Look at me when I turn around and don't stick a straw man, even you will fight together, beat the villain, beat the eunuch!

Mi Xiaomiao caught up with Wang Ping'an and whispered: "Wang Xiang, you have offended the people of Concubine Xiao Shufei's family, that Xiao Siwei just now, scolded you behind your back, and was heard by our family, saying that he wanted to tie a straw man, beat the villain, and beat you!" ”

Wang Ping'an was stunned for a moment, and thought: "Is there such a thing? Well, nowadays people believe in ghosts and gods, and it's not surprising that they believe in straw men. But I have to talk to the queen about this, I will be tied to the grass for her son to become the prince, and she can't thank me properly! ”

When they returned to the main hall, they waited for a short time, and the ministers came back conveniently, and they stood in line again. Li Zhi also made it easier, and drank some mung bean soup, he felt very tired and wanted to go back early, but the ceremony was not over, and he couldn't go first, so he had to sigh, it was really hard to be an emperor.

Chu Suiliang and the eldest grandson Wuji are also tired, but this ceremony was formulated by them, not for anything else, just to make everyone tired, as long as everyone is so tired that they will faint, they will cheat, so that they can be foolproof.

Chu Suiliang took the article and began to read it again, suing the sky, the earth, and the ancestors, and it took another hour to tell that the sun was in the west, and the ministers were really going to suffer from heat stroke!

Finally finished, Chu Suiliang said: "The auspicious time has arrived, and the gold box is signed!" He had enough foreshadowing in front of him, and it was not easy to say these eight words, and both the emperor and the minister breathed a sigh of relief.

The eldest grandson Wuji personally held a tray with several small gold medals on it, the gold medals were inscribed, one was engraved with "Shuntian's Will", and the rest of the gold medals were engraved with "Shijun is not two".

The meaning of Shuntian comes from the order of heaven on the jade seal, which is longevity and eternal prosperity; And the matter is taken from the "Chinese". Of course, the gold medal can't be written or not, and orthodox gorgeous words and phrases must be written.

The eldest grandson Wuji held the tray and presented it to Li Zhi first, Li Zhi nodded, and he showed it to the concubines, Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu were there, each holding their own prince, and after seeing the gold medal, they all nodded in approval. The eldest grandson Wuji held the tray again and went to show it to the ministers, and the ministers also nodded, and the transition was over.

After checking the sign, the eldest grandson Wuji got the front, turned his back, and put the gold medal in the gold box.

Wang Ping'an stared at the performance, but he didn't find that the eldest grandson Wuji changed the gold medal, and wondered in his heart, why didn't he cheat? Didn't produce two sets of gold medals? The gold medal is not difficult to make, two days of hard work, let alone two sets, even if it is enough to do two hundred sets!

Chu Suiliang stood up again, rambling for a long time, annoying the people present, they all wanted to throw him with shoes, after a long day's work, Chu Suiliang said: "The eldest and youngest are orderly, please draw the gold medal from the eldest son of the emperor!" ”

Queen Wang hurriedly took Li Zhong's hand, took him to the golden box, and whispered: "According to what the queen mother taught you, you take out a gold medal from the box!" ”

Li Zhong responded, and the child obediently put his hand into the small hole in the middle of the box, and touched it for a long time, before taking out a gold medal and handing it to the eldest grandson Wuji next to him.

The eldest grandson Wuji took the gold medal, pretended to be surprised, and shouted loudly: "This is really the will of God, the will of my ancestors and ancestors of the Tang Dynasty!" Shun Tian's will! He held the gold medal high, turned around and strode forward, and presented it to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi still didn't know the trick of this lottery, he really thought that Li Zhong was lucky, the first draw, the result was the will of Shuntian, he smiled: "Okay, it is not only the will of God, but also the protection of the ancestors and ancestors, then I will ...... it."

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting: "The emperor is slow, and the concubines are not convinced!" ”

This shout was so loud and loud that it startled everyone!

Li Zhi turned his face and saw that it was Concubine Xiao Shu, he was very impatient, everyone was so tired, and finally the ceremony was about to end, but she screamed again, it was really annoying.

Queen Wang was also angry, she had long known that this Xiao Fox was going to be a demon, and she was really not wrong!

Concubine Xiao saw that her son didn't come forward, there was no chance, the lottery was over, and Li Zhong became the prince, how could she be convinced.

Her eyes were red, and Concubine Xiao said: "The concubine wants to check the signature, I'm afraid that the signature will make people do something!" ”
