Chapter 408: Got What You Wanted
Hot recommendation:、
At this critical juncture to produce the imperial businessman,.
The three judges, who were originally writing on paper with their heads bowed, raised their heads and looked in the direction where the footsteps came, only to see a middle-aged man wearing a grand court dress walking into the venue of this tea fight under the guidance of the guards.
Others don't know who the middle-aged man who entered the venue is, but Master Ye can't know more clearly, the person who came is not a bystander, the prince of Dingguo who was blocked by Cui'er just after the next dynasty. Behind the prince of Dingguo, there are three officials who look like literati, all of whom look noble.
"Hahaha, today's welcome building is full of friends!" Shi Shiran, the prince of Dingguo, walked to the front of the venue, and bowed to King Duan, who had already stood up on the main seat, and greeted each other with a smile, which immediately diluted the atmosphere of excitement or despair in the original venue.
This prince of Dingguo is more than ten years older than King Duan, and because Princess Duan is friendly with General Wenxiu's wife, this king of Duanguo regards the prince of Dingguo as an elder on weekdays. Now that he sees the prince of Dingguo coming, and thinking of the performance of the Qian family and the Jin family all day, if King Duan can't see anything anymore, he will be in vain as the prince's respect.
Rao is King Duan didn't have any opinion on the selection of this imperial merchant before, and he was only going to judge impartially when he was brought in, but just now, under the unpreparedness, he was indeed a little unhappy when he was calculated. Just now, I couldn't change this passive situation because I didn't have the opportunity, but now that I see someone familiar with me coming, where is Duanwang still not taking the opportunity to turn the tables?
"Come, the prince of the world, please take a seat, I always hear that the prince is so elegant on weekdays, and he has unique insights into the tea, and now it is just in time for the selection of the emperor, why not come and taste the treasures of each family, and choose the best among them to serve the emperor!" King Duan smiled and took the hand of the prince of Dingguo and said.
None of the people present are stupid, why did this Dingguo prince come, although everyone didn't know it clearly, but they could guess a few points, and when they looked at the officials, their faces were a little interested.
"Oh? If there is such a good thing, then I might as well obey my fate! The prince of Dingguo laughed, and then retracted his clothes and said. As he spoke, he turned to King Duan and said, "These people in the back are all elegant and high-ranking people, and their tea tasting skills are no worse than mine, since they have caught up, it is better to be together!" ”
"That's nature, that's nature, please!" can be brought by the prince of Dingguo, where can he be a vulgar person? This shunshui human affection king naturally wants to do it, and he is very happy.
The prince of Dingguo smiled extremely gently, looking at the two people surnamed Dong and Zuo present, their faces were pale, and they arched their hands, and the smile on their faces did not change. When he sat down, when he saw that half of the unfinished gold characters were written on the paper used by the two of them to vote, he knew that what Cui'er said was true, and he couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart.
When the prince of Dingguo was intercepted by Cui'er on the way to the next dynasty, he didn't think that the Xiao faction dared to do anything about the selection of the imperial merchants, after all, his own family and the Xiao family were both big families, and the idea of the imperial merchants was not worth the blatant dispute between them.
But the prince of Dingguo still attaches great importance to his wife, and he gives a little more face to the righteous daughter recognized by his wife. It was not a big deal to go home after simply going home, so I took a few colleagues who came from everywhere to this welcome building to see the excitement.
The prince of Dingguo prides himself on his noble status, if this competition is fair, he will just bring his colleagues to join in the fun and drink a new cup of tea, if they are really like what Cui'er said, they have already bought the judges to cheat, then don't blame me, the prince of Dingguo, for being ruthless!
When he arrived at the venue and saw the appearance of Duanwang, and then saw the results of half of the case, the prince of Dingguo understood in his heart, what Cui'er said was not groundless.
The prince of Dingguo did not have much inclination towards the selection of this imperial businessman, but it was because Mrs. Shizi felt sorry for Cui'er that she reluctantly became the backer of the Ye family. Now seeing that the people of the Xiao faction are like this, they stretch out their hands regardless of it, and the prince of Dingguo is faintly angry in his heart.
Okay, the Xiao faction can't play with our Yang family in the court, so they will do it on the women and children, the matter of martial arts at the beginning, the Yang family let the Xiao faction lose a few capable talents in the northwest and the court, but it doesn't seem to let them learn to be obedient, but they are all moving in this trivial matter!
But there is no one in the Yang family who deceived me! The prince of Dingguo was not in a good mood, and even the officials surnamed Zuo and Dong looked at him, and his eyes were slightly sharp.
Now that he knows that there is something strange about this, the prince of Dingguo can't stand by and watch, but if he sits here as a referee with a few people, even if he judges Ye Jiaying, he will be said to be favoritism, even if he is not spoken, it will be too ugly to eat.
The prince of Dingguo looked at the layout of the teahouse, and saw that there was a small servant guarding the door at the door of the private room upstairs.
"King Duan invited the four of us to join the judging so elegantly, I can't be self-conscious, can I? Look at the appearance of a lot of distinguished guests upstairs, if the nobles are interested, you might as well come down to taste the new tea together, what do you think? "The prince of Dingguo Gong has been speaking, and the powerful guy next to him has taken the Dingguo Gong's prayer post and gone upstairs.
After a while, three or four nobles from the private room came downstairs to greet King Duan and the prince of Dingguo. The people in this private room are all of high status, including the Hou Ye, the Little Wangye, and the famous Confucianism in Beijing, it seems that this like to watch the excitement is not the patent of the common people.
The people in the private room came down to participate in the judgment and walked in a chaotic manner, Cui'er took advantage of the chaos to walk in from outside, and squeezed sideways into her own seat, her face full of excitement and excitement.
"Cui'er!" As early as when the prince of Dingguo came in from the gate, Master Ye knew that his family might turn around, and after seeing Cui'er come back, the idea in his heart became clearer and clearer.
"Dad, let's go back and talk about it!" Cui'er's face was full of excitement and excitement, but she also knew that this was not the place to speak, just now she took a great risk to be accompanied by someone from the Dingguo Mansion to the Imperial City to guard the roots, waiting for the arrival of the Dingguo Prince, and it took a lot of effort to persuade the upright Dingguo Prince's son to come to this venue.
Thinking about the thrilling scene now, Cui'er still felt her heart pounding. Thinking of the arrival of the prince of Dingguo just now, even if it was a little slower than the time of a stick of incense, her own defeat would be decided, Cui'er felt a cold sweat on her back just thinking about it.
Master Ye looked at Cui'er, nodded fiercely, and moved his gaze to the front of the venue, where there were only three judges from the beginning, plus the four people of Dingguo Gongzi and his party, and the three nobles who came down from the upstairs just now, they just made up ten judges.
Cui'er looked at the ten-person judges' seats in front of her, and her heart was slightly fixed. In such a huge lineup, even if the two officials surnamed Zuo and the surnamed Dong were bought by the Jin family, among the remaining eight people, Cui'er could be sure that at least five people would not be bought.
Then the three nobles who came down didn't seem to be able to be bought, thinking of this, Cui'er's heart was a little more steady.
In fact, Cui'er also knew that her family had made good tea with all her might, and she had moved the prince of Dingguo to participate in the judgment, and what she could do had already been done. After that, it's not something that you and others can do, just wait for the result of the judgment, and it's up to people to make things happen, and it's up to heaven to make things happen.
Compared with the calm and calm seats of the Ye family, the seats of the Qian family and the Jin family were already a little flustered at this time. The people of the Qian family and the Jin family, who were still triumphant just now, regarded the emperor's position as their bag, are now in a cold sweat, as if they can't understand why so many judges suddenly appeared.
I have to say that compared to the Qian family who only relied on Zheng Guogong's family, the Jin family was impatient, Jin Yu saw a lot of outsiders coming, and looked at a lot of people coming down from the upper floor, so he knew that his original plan was about to fail.
His own hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were smashed, just to find a powerful backer in the court, and now when this victory is in hand, he is going to be overturned by the Ye family?
Where can Jin Yuman stand this, he hurriedly sent someone to notify the housekeeper of the Xiao family who helped deal with the affairs of the imperial business. Thinking that the Xiao family should also send more people, even if it is to fight for the number of people, the Ye family must be spelled down, otherwise he will not be able to get the position of the imperial businessman, and most of the family property will also be smashed in, so it will be a bamboo basket to draw water!
Temporarily, but it depends on luck, Jin Yuman's luck is obviously not as good as Cui'er, and it is too late.
Jin Yuman's people had just sent out only two pillars of incense, and the tea of the ten judges present had been brewed, and even if they ran fast, it was impossible to find more judges with full weight before the judges judged the results.
The ten judges drank the tea again and carefully evaluated the quality of the tea. I don't know if it's because literati like to talk about the past and comment on current affairs, but when drinking tea, it's not like before, after drinking it, they write the results directly, but everyone expresses their opinions and talks freely.
The ten judges present are either sons of families or high-ranking officials and magnates, and the most disadvantaged are also knowledgeable literati and scholars. When it comes to this tea tasting, it is said that the scriptures are quoted from the scriptures, and it is enough to say that it has been for half an hour, and then under the indication of the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he wrote down what he thought was the best tea.
Ten people have ten votes, and the one with the most votes wins, according to the original rules, after the ten judges have written down the results, the officials of the Internal Affairs Office will sing the votes one by one.
"Ye family, one vote!"
"The Jin family, one vote!"
"Ye family, one vote!"
……
This final moment has finally arrived, Cui'er's nervous hands sweat slightly, every time she sings to her own vote, Cui'er bends her fingers in her sleeve slightly, five votes, as long as she gets five votes, she can deserve the qualification of this imperial businessman!
When the ten votes were finished, Cui'er only felt that her heart was about to jump out, six votes, six votes, and she got six votes! All of a sudden, Cui'er burst into tears with excitement, Master Ye and Ye Qing were even more excited when their wishes for many years came true!
"Huxi Ye family, elected as this emperor's businessman!" Duan Wangye, as the chief judge, read out the results with a smile, and listened to the ears of the Ye family, as if it was heavenly. The Ye family's hundreds of years of accumulation, decades of hard work and expectation, finally got their wish today! R1152
