Chapter 823: Wu Meiniang became a goddess

Wang Ping'an was originally very anxious, he was afraid that the signing of the manipulation would be exposed in public!

But he knows the eldest grandson Wuji too well, the eldest grandson's uncle is notoriously domineering, if there is a problem with the gold medal, even if he pours out the gold medal now, stuffs it in his mouth and chews it, he will not let people check it.

Of course, he can't chew it, that's two words, but he will never let people check it, he can shout at any reason, anyway, it's not for inspection. But now that others are allowed to check, it proves that they must not be afraid of inspection.

Wang Ping'an calmed down again, and he looked at Queen Wang. Coincidentally, Queen Wang at this time also looked at him, the two eyes met, Wang Ping'an shook his head gently, signaling not to worry, and then glared at Concubine Xiao Shu fiercely with fierce eyes!

Queen Wang's eyes also turned to Concubine Xiao Shu, her eyes were also vicious, Concubine Xiao Shufei really forced her to be anxious, in the ancestral ancestral hall, in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to ask for a signature, it was clear that she was dissatisfied with Li Zhong as the prince, and it was also the most powerful attack on her. The little bit of face left by the two of them was completely torn at this time, to the point where either you die or I die!

Concubine Xiao Shu didn't pay attention to Wang Ping'an, but when she saw Queen Wang, she glared back without showing weakness, the matter has come to this point, what do you need to be polite!

Queen Wang was extremely angry, and she had countless thoughts in her heart, but no matter how the thoughts turned, they only turned out one result, so let Concubine Xiao Shu die!

At this time, Xiao Yu had already walked to the middle of the main hall and stood in front of the gold box, he opened the lid of the gold box, glanced inside, and said: "There are gold medals in it, and the rest of the gold medals are in it, and they are not stacked and put together, so there is no one to take out first." ”

Xiao Yu's words, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, which proved that there was no fraud in this lottery. To tell the truth, if there is really a case of fraud, then there will be countless people to be punished, and the court can almost be said to go through a big shock, and the consequences are serious, as long as it is a minister with a little brain, it is unacceptable.

Some ministers thought to themselves, "It's good that there is no fraud, fortunately." ”

And some ministers don't believe Xiao Yu's words, but think that Xiao Yu is thinking about the overall situation, so he said so, Xiao Yu is really an important minister of the country, and he knows where to be light and where to be heavy.

Li Zhi hummed and said, "It's fair and just, this is ......."

Without waiting for him to speak, Concubine Xiao Shufei stood up again, and she said, "Your Majesty, please allow the concubines to go for a test, don't let people deceive you." ”

Li Zhi's brows furrowed again, he is also very dissatisfied with Concubine Xiao Shu now, is this woman crazy and crazy, such a troublemaker?

Wang Ping'an glared at Concubine Xiao Shu, and thought: "This stupid woman, she is so aggressive, she is really annoying, her son could have a little hope, but she is so annoying as a mother, it is estimated that no one else will have to say bad things about her in the future, and the emperor will not make her son the crown prince, Li Sujie's *** career has ended before he can speak!" ”

Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "Okay, if you want to go to the test, then go to the test, finish the test quickly, quickly!" ”

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Concubine Xiao Shufei had no choice, but if she didn't fight for it at this time, it would be too late to fight for it in the future. She walked quickly to the gold box, looked inside, and saw the remaining gold medals, neatly placed in the box, the handwriting on the cards was clear, and they were all engraved with "The Gentleman is not the same".

Concubine Xiao Shufei had a little doubt in her heart, because when Li Zhong reached in to get the gold medal just now, her little hand touched it for a long time, and she didn't take out the gold medal immediately. His little hand touched it inside, and he must have made a comparison, and then he took out the gold medal engraved with "Shuntian's Will", even if he felt the handwriting on it, taking advantage of the first touch, but touching them one by one, these gold medals should also be moved, and it is impossible to arrange them so neatly.

She couldn't bear it, she reached out and picked up a gold medal, feeling that the weight was not heavy, how heavy a small gold medal could be, even if it was made of pure gold, it was not too heavy, children could pick it up, let alone her!

Xiao Yu saw that she picked up the gold medal, he also picked up a piece, looked at it over and over, and said, "No problem, except for the different words, there is no difference from the one taken out by the emperor's eldest son just now." ”

He was kneeling below just now, and he didn't pay much attention to the time problem, and his performance when Li Zhong drew lots was naturally not as careful as Xiao Shufei's observation, he just said this from the "evidence", and the evidence is now in his hands, there is no problem.

Wang Ping'an let out a long sigh of relief below, thinking, "Hey, aren't there two sets of gold medals?" So how do you get it right in one draw? Could it be that the eldest grandson Wuji and them have resorted to more profound means? ”

He looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and saw that the eldest grandson Wuji was expressionless, and he didn't even reveal any unusual appearance in his eyes, and then looked at Chu Suiliang and Fang Xuanling...... Jiang is really old and spicy, not only are they both expressionless, but they also have no flaws in their eyes.

Wang Ping'an is sure that he can't do this, and he can't really be so calm at such a critical moment. Coincidentally, at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji also glanced at Wang Ping'an, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes, and it was fleeting, and his eyes fell on the gold box again.

Don't look at the expression on the face of the eldest grandson Wuji, but in his heart he is proud to fly, Wang Ping'an said that he wants to make two sets of gold medals, he thought this trick was wonderful at first, but then discussed with Chu Sui Liangfang Xuanling, and felt that this trick was still risky, in case someone drew lots, jumped out to check the signature, this possibility is not nothing, and you must be fully prepared!

Signing, signing, signing, and paying attention to signing. Whether there is a problem with the gold medal will be known at a check. But...... As for the gold box, no one has paid attention to it until now!

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Wang Ping'an, and laughed in his heart: "Accept it or not, you can't accept it, compared to me, you are still tender, otherwise I am an uncle, and you are a nephew, because you are much more tender than me!" ”

Xiao Yu said to Li Zhi: "Your Majesty, according to the results of the old minister's inspection, this lottery is both fair and just, the emperor's eldest son Zhong won the lottery of the will of heaven, and it is indeed in accordance with the will of heaven, and there is no fraud in it, which the old minister can guarantee!" ”

Concubine Xiao Shufei had no choice but to throw the gold medal back into the gold box, although she had doubts in her heart, she couldn't figure out why the gold medal was neatly placed in the box, but she couldn't bring it up. Because she doesn't need to mention it, she knows how others will answer, and she will definitely rely on conforming to the will of heaven, and asking is a vain question, which will make the emperor even more angry, and the emperor is already very angry.

Li Zhi let out a long breath and said, "I don't feel that there will be any fraud, and if someone dares to cheat on such a major matter, it would be too unusual." After saying this, he looked at Chu Suiliang.

Chu Suiliang immediately stepped forward, took out another article, and read it aloud, while Xiao Yu and the eldest grandson Wuji retreated and knelt down to listen together.

It was another long time before Chu Suiliang finished reading the article and officially confirmed that the emperor's eldest son, Li Zhong, was the newly established crown prince of this dynasty. Li Zhi stood up, personally pulled Li Zhong, knelt in front of the tablets of the ancestors and ancestors, and prayed in a low voice, then took out the seal of the prince and handed it to Li Zhong.

Li Zhong was taken by the queen again, went to the back and changed into the prince's robe, and then came out to accept the cheers of the ministers. The ministers shouted long live in the mountains, and then the mountains called in the mountains, and the whole ceremony was over, and the Tang Dynasty had a new prince.

It was easy to say, but the process was so complicated that by the time it was over, it was already dark outside, and the moon had already climbed the branches.

According to the tradition after all the ceremonies, the emperor returned to the palace with his ministers, opened the main hall and feasted the ministers, ate and drank, toasted and patted horses, flattered and sang praises of virtue. By the time the banquet was over, the fourth watch had already passed.

After that, Li Zhi personally issued an order to give the ministers a three-day holiday, during which the ministers each had to write an article to commemorate the lottery ceremony, and in order to celebrate that the Tang Dynasty had a new prince, it was a great amnesty to the world, and all the criminals who were not sentenced to death were commuted, and all the people who committed minor mistakes were released.

Amnesty is a matter that has been carried out by all dynasties, in fact, this is a very dangerous move, for example, before the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty granted amnesty to the world, and as a result, a group of powerful people were released.

How the people celebrate the new crown prince, let's not mention it for the time being, just talk about the palace.

Queen Wang was happy, but her hatred for Concubine Xiao Shu not only did not decrease slightly, but became stronger. She had the intention to call Wang Ping'an again and ask Wang Ping'an to find a way to get rid of Concubine Xiao Shu, but first, Wang Ping'an did not enter the palace, and secondly, she was afraid that Wang Ping'an would not make an idea, after all, Wang Ping'an made it clear that he wanted to put Concubine Xiao Shu's in advance and talk about it coolly.

Queen Wang didn't look for Wang Ping'an, but went to find the empty little nun, she still didn't know that the empty was Wu Meiniang, and she thought about using the empty to kill Concubine Xiao Shu!

In the afternoon of this day, the queen sent the little eunuch to monitor in the more secluded hall to report that the emperor had gone to the Ganlu Hall to see the eldest grandson, as if talking about the Eastern Crusade, and now there was only one empty person left in the more secluded hall.

The queen immediately ran to the more secluded hall to see the empty little nun. Wu Meiniang has been quite moisturized these days, and she can be called radiant. Hearing that the queen was coming, she hurriedly welcomed the queen into the main hall.

Seeing that Wu Meiniang was becoming more and more beautiful, Queen Wang was depressed, and she said, "Mrs. Kong, you live in the palace, are you still used to it?" ”

When Wu Meiniang heard this, her heart trembled, and she thought: "No, could it be that the queen wants to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and as soon as the eldest son of the emperor is established as the prince, she wants to drive me away?" ”

Frightened, Wu Meiniang immediately changed her name, no longer calling herself a poor nun, but calling her own "vulgar" name. Wu Meiniang said: "Your Majesty, Chunhua has always lived a hard life before, and when she entered the palace this time, she found that there is such a good place in the world, and she doesn't have to worry about food or clothing." Chunhua wants to beg the queen, please leave Chunhua in the palace, as long as you can eat meat every day and live comfortably, Chunhua is grateful, and she is willing to be a cow and a horse in the next life...... No, no, I wish to repay the queen mother by being a cow and a horse in this life. ”

As she spoke, she knelt down for the queen and kowtowed repeatedly.

Queen Wang snorted lightly, thinking: "Sure enough, she is a useless woman, she has such a little ambition, she is satisfied with food and drink, no wonder she is very unscrupulous, it has been several days, and I haven't seen her cause any damage to Xiao Fox!" ”

Queen Wang said: "If you want to live in the palace, it's not difficult, if you want to be vulgar, eat meat all day long, and dress well all day long, this is not difficult, give you a name, let you become a concubine, it is extremely simple." But ......"

Wu Meiniang was stunned when she heard this, can she make herself a concubine? So fast? Ah, I see, she was in a hurry to knock Concubine Xiao Shu down, so she made a promise to me! She wants to use me, and I have to make good use of her, if I can become a concubine, it is equivalent to gaining a firm foothold in the palace, and things will be much easier in the future.

Wu Meiniang was "surprised and delighted" and said: "Chunhua thank the queen mother, the queen mother is a thousand years old." ”

Queen Wang stretched out her hand to help her up, and said softly: "Chunhua, you are willing to be loyal to this palace, this is a good thing." But this palace can't raise an idler, are you right? So you have to do one thing for this palace, as long as you do it well, isn't it easy to give you a title, this palace is the master of the six palaces, and this thing can still be done. ”

Wu Meiniang was grateful, and hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, what do you command, just say, Chunhua will definitely do it for you!" ”

Queen Wang hummed and told Xiao Shufei's sins, focusing on Xiao Shufei's performance at the lottery meeting, and also said that her relatives wanted to plant straw men and curse the king's peace.

After saying this, Queen Wang said: "This palace is lenient, and I don't want to be embarrassed for Concubine Xiao Shu, but her relatives want to deal with Wang Xiang, which is too much, and Wang Xiang is a cousin of this palace." Not for others, just for my cousin, you should also punish Concubine Xiao Shu, right? ”

Of course, she wouldn't say that it was because she wanted to kill Concubine Xiao Shu, although this was a reason that everyone knew, but on the surface, she still had to pretend, it seemed that she loved her relatives very much, she was very kind, and she couldn't bear to let her cousin be a straw man, in order to prevent her cousin from being harmed, then she could only instruct the empty nun to harm Concubine Xiao Shu.

When Wu Meiniang heard this, she scolded in her heart, what kind of reason is this, it is too far-fetched. She nodded again and again, and said: "Yes, yes, Niangniang, you are so right, since you want to punish Concubine Xiao Shu, it is better to treat her in the way of others, so that the punishment will be fast and heavy." ”

As soon as she said this, she regretted that she had spoken too quickly, that she was too smart, and that she should have behaved stupid!

Queen Wang didn't notice this, she didn't feel why Wu Meiniang's reaction was so fast, why her methods were so fierce, but she said happily: "With the way of others, but also to govern others?" How is this a return to the law, you can tell me about it! ”

Wu Meiniang pretended to think about it, and then said: "Doesn't Concubine Xiao's relatives like to tie straw people to harm ministers, that means that Concubine Xiao Shu also likes to do this, her son did not become the prince, she must hate Niangniang, and she also hates the prince, so maybe in her own palace, she pierced the queen and the prince's straw man......"

The more she spoke, the lower her voice became, but the more she listened, the more happy she became!
