Chapter 132: There is only one end
But they had to.
Otherwise, they won't be able to sit on that dragon chair.
Emperor Yun Zhou glared at him fiercely, and then said solemnly: "Lin'an City was flooded before, and now there is an epidemic in the city, and there are riots among the victims......
Listening to this, do you want to throw this mess to yourself?
Zhou Yiting lowered his eyes.
Although he originally planned to go to Lin'an City, he couldn't go in vain this time.
"What does Father mean?" Zhou Yiting asked pretending to be puzzled.
Emperor Yun Zhou was angry.
Is this a good idea to be cheap? This little bunny ......
"What I mean, you are the crown prince, and it is most suitable for you to go to Lin'an City for me and appease the people for me." He said bluntly.
After speaking, Emperor Yun Zhou looked at the prince quietly, and the expression on his face was secretive.
Little bunny, look at how you pretend!
"Father, what is the current epidemic situation in Lin'an City, and the sons and daughters have no bottom in their hearts." Zhou Yiting thought about it, and looked at Emperor Yun Zhou without saying anything, "What's more, this matter is very important, although Erchen is the crown prince, he doesn't dare to be special." Therefore, I don't know if I can ......"
"What are the prince's concerns?" Emperor Yun Zhou frowned.
Listening to the meaning of this, do you want to bargain with me?
This little bunny is really getting more and more cunning!
Zhou Yiting's lowered eyes flashed with a gleam.
Here's your chance.
"Father, my son doesn't know anything about disaster relief, and thinks...... Can you find a helper and go to Lin'an together, so that you can help your son? Zhou Yiting said as he stared at Emperor Yun Zhou's reaction.
Now that the words have come to this, this old fox can't fail to understand what he means, right?
Emperor Yun Zhou's heart moved slightly, but he deliberately thought about it with a straight face before asking, "Who do you want to accompany you?" ”
This little rabbit cub really refuses to eat even if he loses anything. He doesn't want to, as a son, isn't it a natural thing to share Lao Tzu's worries? Now I still tell Lao Tzu about the conditions......
Zhou Yiting saluted solemnly and said solemnly: "This matter is naturally the dictatorship of the father's sacred heart, and the father thinks whoever is suitable is whoever he wants, and the sons and daughters dare not be picky." ”
He still understands the principle of accepting it when he sees it. Besides, what is the current situation, he doesn't believe that this old fox will not know?
"That's it......" Emperor Yun Zhou glared at his son angrily, and after a slight groan, he ordered Gao Hai, "Go and call several highnesses." "I didn't think about it, in the middle of the night, I called a few adult sons to the palace, is it appropriate?
It didn't take long for the imperial study to be crowded with princes, and at a glance, there were as many as seven or eight.
"The son of the emperor greets his father."
Emperor Yun Zhou looked at a group of adult sons, his mood was extremely complicated, but his face was not revealing at all, and he only said in a deep voice: "I asked you to come over because I wanted to pick out one of you so that I could accompany the prince to Lin'an City for disaster relief, but is anyone willing?" ”
When the princes heard this, their hearts tightened, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
Accompany the prince to Lin'an City?
Are you kidding!
It's not a good job. ---- has made political achievements, it is natural that it is the prince's; If something goes wrong, you'll have to take the blame yourself.
A fool is willing to be this backstabber!
What's more, going to Lin'an City, where the epidemic is serious and the victims are showing signs of rioting, is originally a life-threatening chore!
How terrible the plague is, if it spreads, it doesn't distinguish between people!
When the time comes, no matter whether you are a nobleman or an ordinary person, if you are infected with the plague, there will be only one end!
That's ...... Die!
Who would want to go for such a thankless and life-threatening thing?
Of course, it's a good thing that the prince can go...... What if the prince went to Lin'an City and unfortunately contracted the plague and died outside?
When the time comes, won't their opportunity come?
The princes suppressed the unsightly thoughts in their hearts, and they all looked like they were bowing their heads and refusing to speak.
Emperor Yun Zhou looked at King Qi first.
King Qi is the second in line, and among the princes, except for Zhou Yiting, he is the eldest. But this matter was originally painstakingly arranged by the forces behind him, and under such circumstances, he naturally would not go to die.
Emperor Yun Zhou looked at this son, a touch of complexity flashed in his eyes, and then turned to look at King Zhou, who was the third in line.
King Zhou stood with his eyes down, and there was no superfluous expression on his face, but he looked like a good son who was respectful and filial.
But his mother came from a humble background, and she didn't have any help in the court. Therefore, even if there is no prince Zhou Yiting, he will not be able to turn in that position. So, why did he bother to be this early bird?
Emperor Yun Zhou sighed in his heart, and then slid his gaze to King Qin.
King Qin stood in the corner, eager to hang his head into the crotch of his pants, and the evasive appearance made Emperor Yun Zhou frown again and again.
Is this son too timid?
Emperor Yun Zhou looked at King Zhao again.
King Zhao in his heart: If you don't want to go, don't look at me......
Look at King Xiang again.
King Xiang's heart: Don't go, don't go, resolutely don't go......
Finally, he looked at King Chen and King Shu.
King Chen's heart: I am a county king, there are so many brothers above, why should I go?
The King of Shu opened his eyes wide, his face was innocent, and his eyes were already covered with tears: I am only sixteen years old, although I was crowned king last month, but the palace has not yet been built......
After looking at it, Emperor Yun Zhou was so angry that he touched the white jade paperweight on the dragon case.
Very good, these little bunnies are really better than one another!
Since you don't want to go, so good...... Emperor Yun Zhou's inexplicable gaze slowly swept over each of his sons below from beginning to end.
The princes became nervous: Father, this is the name! I don't know if I want to go to Lin'an City to study with the prince this time, will it be the unlucky guy?
"Why, you don't want to accompany the prince?" Emperor Yun Zhou asked first.
All the princes stubbornly expressed a meaning: such a major event that will benefit the people and help the country, how can they compete with their brothers, and everything is under the orders of their father.
"Since that's the case...... Emperor Yun Zhou paused, suddenly changed his words, and said lightly, "Then it's up to the prince to decide." ”
In a word, Emperor Yun Zhou successfully threw the pot to his son.
Zhou Yiting secretly pursed his mouth.
He knew that the old fox had called all his brothers, and he would not be at ease!
Zhou Yiting was named, coughed a few times, and then stood up and looked at the princes with a gentle face.
That gaze was so gentle that all the princes couldn't help but shudder.
"On weekdays, your younger brothers treat the palace very well." Zhou Yiting pretended to say, "This palace also knows in my heart that all the younger brothers are willing to accompany this palace to Lin'an City, but because the number of places is limited, and they also want to be brothers, friends and brothers, so they are humble." ”
Humility?
The princes looked strange.
Are they humble?
Zhou Yiting, what kind of eyes are you! If you don't see them one or two, you can't wait to hide far away?
Zhou Yiting also ignored everyone's constipated appearance for a long time, and continued: "It's just that my father took the initiative to order someone to accompany the palace to Lin'an City, which is also my father's love for his son, and this palace is a son, so he naturally doesn't dare to refuse." Otherwise, it would be the unfilial piety of the main palace......"
When did I take the initiative? How come I don't know?
"......" Emperor Yun Zhou, who carried the black cauldron, didn't say anything, only twitched the corners of his mouth again.
Zhou Yiting said, turned around and pretended to salute Emperor Yun Zhou, then looked back at the princes and said, "Therefore, this palace can not ignore the kindness of my father, and I really don't know which brother to choose." That being the case, it would be better to ...... Leave it to Heaven to decide. ”
What is the law of heaven's decision?
Everyone looked at Zhou Yiting with puzzled expressions.
Zhou Yiting cleared his throat and spit out two words seriously: "Draw lots!" ”
Draw lots!
The constipation of the princes became more serious, and they all blushed, and the expressions on their faces became more and more strange.
Is it really appropriate for such a serious matter to be decided by drawing lots?
Zhou Yiting sneered in his heart: If you don't do this, won't this offending thing fall on him? He's not going to be the old fox!
"What does Father think?" Zhou Yiting turned to Emperor Yun Zhou again and asked respectfully. "If my father thinks it's inappropriate, then I can only let the brothers recommend each other."
The smile in Emperor Yun Zhou's eyes flashed, and he nodded: "This method is good." "As for recommending each other or something, forget it. He didn't want to see his sons in front of him regardless of decency, stepping forward to make a scene of brothers' rivalry.
After speaking, he glanced at Gao Hai and motioned for Gao Hai to get the sticker.
Seeing that Emperor Yun Zhou nodded, the princes had more plans in their hearts, and they could only do it at this moment.
What's more, if you think about it, it's not bad to use a lottery to decide this matter...... At least, compared to recommending each other, this method at least does not have to worry about offending anyone......
After a short time, the great eunuch Gao Hai returned with a stick, stood in front of everyone, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, please." The minions prepared a total of seven sticks, and at the bottom of one of them, the minions dared to click on an ink spot. ”
The implication of this is that after winning the lottery with ink dots, he will go to Lin'an City with Zhou Yiting.
When the princes heard this, they looked at each other, but no one dared to move first. ---- everyone thinks that the one who draws lots first has the best chance of being drawn.
Emperor Yun Zhou's fluttering gaze swept over the sons standing below one by one: "What? This kind of thing, do you still want to have a brother and brother to be humble? ”
The princes bowed their heads silently, praying in their hearts, but don't let yourself be drawn......
Gao Hai passed in front of everyone with the sticker in his hand, signaling that the princes could start.
King Qi bore the brunt of this, lowering his eyes and pulling out a stick, revealing the huge ink spots underneath.
