Chapter 1026: The Great Prince's Complaint
The people who gradually came and wanted to give gifts to Wu Zhe and Prince Mo didn't understand the practice of setting up a platform here.
Wu Zhe didn't say that he wanted to issue lottery tickets, and they knew they couldn't figure it out.
It's still early, the hour is not over, and the person who set up the stage is still doing the final inspection.
Those carpenters did not dare to relax at all. This is the wooden platform that the Royal Prince Mo's mansion requires to be built, who dares to make any mistakes? Not to mention that the platform collapsed, it collapsed a little somewhere, and it was already a big accident for Miss Zhou or Prince Mo to take a kick.
If they hurt Prince Mo or Miss Zhou, the wooden generals will definitely have the heart to commit suicide and apologize. What's more, Miss Zhou also taught them a lot of new techniques in the sketches of building the table?
Even many carpenters feel that Miss Zhou is a master carpenter. Many of the tips for setting up a shelf have never been heard of before, but they work surprisingly well. It's like showing off your skills in front of an expert, and the generals don't want to make any mistakes.
The carpenters are busy, and the blacksmiths are busy with various flagpoles or special installations, which are even more incomprehensible.
The housekeeper who gave the gift looked around, as if they were countrymen entering the city. But in fact, this group of people is definitely a figure that Wudu is used to seeing in the market.
"Hey, what do you see the text banner that's being pulled up over there?"
"It's written [Charity Lottery]? Charity means doing good deeds and doing good deeds to accumulate virtue, right? But what is a lottery?"
The givers watched from afar and did not understand.
"What are those boxes for?"
"It looks like it was filled with gold and silver. ”
"That's understandable. But what does that oil press on the table in the center of the wooden table do?"
The lottery machine that the two little dragons mistook was indeed regarded as the same thing by these housekeepers.
"Don't be funny, Miss Zhou can't get an oil press here to toss. ”
The crowd kept discussing, but they couldn't come up with a reason.
Soon, they understood. Because there are children playing with wooden balls.
"It's kind of like a casino bet. "Thoughtful and clever gradually realized.
Later, Wu Zhe's public speech also proved that his judgment was correct.
Near noon, Wu Zhe began to arrange for the attendants to settle the presenters.
Both sides were polite. Order was quickly maintained.
On a first-come, first-served basis, there was a long queue of presenters. Among them, there are many people who call them brothers, after all, they are all middle-level figures in the martial arts country, and they often deal with each other.
There are also quite a few people who are keenly aware of some information.
"Ah, that's the butler of the Blade Council's house. ”
"Oh, that's the master of the military Yamen Officer Chen. ”
Many people have noticed people with military power. In currying favor with Prince Mo to give gifts.
This can mean a lot of things. When the prince's struggle for the throne reached the point where the military department began to express its position, it can basically be said that it has entered the later stage.
Unexpectedly, the situation of the son-in-law competing for the throne has entered the late stage so quickly from the early stage, and it has gradually become clear.
Some knowledgeable masters were amazed in their hearts, and there were few such speeds of contention in history.
It can be said that Prince Xuan's defeat in the Jin Kingdom announced that the royal concubine of the Wu Kingdom had entered the middle stage, but it has only been a short month so far, and the outstanding position of Prince Mo has been revealed.
Seeing that the officials with military forces sent the master butler, the other gift-givers felt that they had come to the right place.
"See. There are people from the military department, which shows the military's attitude towards Prince Mo. In addition, what position does the Xuanwu Emperor have now entrusted to Zhou Zhiruo? The deputy commander of the Xuanwu female general! Is that the most powerful force of the army? Give it to the people in Prince Mo's room......
"But isn't Zhou Zhi out of the cabinet yet?
"Do you think anyone would dare to rob Zhou Zhiruo with Prince Mo? At least he can be regarded as the person in the room in the future. ”
"That's right, you can only become a person in the house in the future, isn't it a day yet?"
"Phew, you're raising the bar. ”
After some arguments, the sophists had to admit that no one dared to compete with Prince Mo for Miss Zhou.
The giver who said these words, and then looked at Wu Zhe in the distance, and his eyes were full of respect. It's like looking at the future queen mother......
But some people muttered: "The Dugu brand of the Three Holy Sects is also said to be interesting to Zhou Zhiruo." There are no surprises yet. ”
"Well, that's right. I've heard about it too. ”
"If there is any marriage robbery, first get on the ship and pay later, it will be the beginning of civil strife in the armed forces. ”
"Ahh
That's what I said. Dugu Brand is the son of the Three Sages, and his identity can really compete with Prince Mo. ”
"Well, brother, you have a point in saying that. Otherwise, it could really be a disaster for the country and the people. ”
"Miss Zhou's appearance really has this kind of tendency. ”
"Well, that's what you say. It reminds me of the Apocalypse!"
These people in the market still don't know that Wu Zhe has obtained the Dragon Elder Xuanqi for the time being, but they only know that the Heavenly Tribulation Thundercloud is because of Wu Zhe.
"Shh———— I heard that someone said that Miss Zhou is a nine-tailed fox fairy!"
"Oh, the nine-tailed fox fairy, the mana is boundless, no wonder he looks so beautiful. Look at it a little longer. Even my brother feels like I've lost half of my soul. ”
"So you should be careful that Miss Zhou is a vixen. ”
"But if I can be fascinated by such a beautiful vixen, I will be willing to die. ”
A group of people are gossiping, and on the other side, Wu Zhe has already begun to prepare to register various donations.
"Remember, you're donating, charity. Wu Zhe announced loudly.
Oooh, everyone nodded.
They think it's a matter of name.
There is basically not much resistance to doing charity, but who is willing to donate so much silver? Of course, some big families who are dedicated to goodness will do that, but these housekeepers are here by order.
If it is a charitable donation, our master does not agree. But they figured it out a little by thinking about it. The silver was originally meant to be given to Miss Zhou or Prince Mo. Refuse to collect it in Prince Mo's mansion, and it's the same here. Presumably because he refused to leave a bad reputation.
But what is the public record of every payment?
"Every payment is recorded, and every hundred taels is a lot. If it is a thing, it will be valued according to the lowest value of the market and converted into silver taels. Every donation will be converted into a number. Wu Zhe announced loudly.
Several of her masters sat in front of the big wooden platform, and recorded several payments at the same time to speed up. On the other side, there are hand-to-hand point gifts.
This is a precedent for gift-giving and receiving. When did the gift ever be opened in person? No one could have imagined that Wu Zhe was like a housekeeper's wife, arranging for someone to count all the gifts.
Fortunately, no one cheated, otherwise it would be a shame to shout out in public that the number did not match.
But it's really embarrassing that every payment is announced in public. Fortunately, the name of the giver was not directly called.
Those who have already recorded the amount are arranged not to leave first, and there will be excitement later.
This makes people even more curious.
They don't know, because there's going to be a lottery later.
Wu Zhe did not intend to give out prize tickets, which made people feel like IOUs when giving gifts, but purely relied on the credibility of Prince Mo's mansion as the basis for the lottery.
It is purely up to the people of Prince Mo's Mansion to record the donors and money, and use it as the number of the lottery.
For a long time in an era when there was no precedent for lottery, no one would have raised objections. And having this group of gift givers as early adopters can set a model of good reputation.
Wu Zhe is methodically carrying out the award record work, and the children such as Shuangxiaolong are helping to help, and they are all quite busy.
But in Wudu, some people are very dissatisfied.
Who?
The Great Prince, of course!
"Lord Zongren Mansion Steward, Prince Mo connived at his staff member Zhou Zhiruo, disregarding the innocence of the world, and openly accepting bribes and gifts under Lang Lang Qiankun!"
The eldest prince is suing with Sister Pomegranate in the Zongren Mansion.
They had previously impeached Prince Mo and Wu Zhe for creating enclaves on the border and cultivating fields without authorization, which was like a stone falling into the sea and disappearing without news.
After all, the letter of complaint was sent directly to Emperor Xuanwu, and there was no feedback from above, and they waited for so many days, and they didn't dare to ask Emperor Xuanwu why there was no feedback.
Recently, the eldest prince clearly felt that the atmosphere was unusual.
It's a gut feeling.
However, when he came into contact with some officials, he felt that the other party was more kind to him.
The eldest prince felt that something was wrong, he didn't make any big achievements, why did others seem to be more in awe of him?
Pomegranate comforted that his identity was further stable. The so-called growing up with age, as if the dragon is flourishing, makes the officials fear him from the bottom of their hearts.
This was really the words of the minister, and it made the eldest prince feel happy and relieved.
In fact, other officials were more polite to him, but it was a very dangerous signal. Because the officials are like spectators watching the competition between princes, no one needs to be a white-eyed wolf in the eyes, let alone dare to show a tendency to be snobbish.
Because at this time, if you annoy either side of the party, you may become the scapegoat and fuse for the outbreak of conflict between the two sides. Therefore, everyone greeted the eldest prince with a smile. Even the monthly stipend of the Prince's Mansion was first delivered by the Zongren Mansion.
He was so nervous about ensuring the distribution of the money because he was afraid of being criticized by the eldest prince, not because of respect for his status.
The more people who want to be defeated, the easier it is to become mad dogs. This is a clear truth in the hearts of many wise officials.
Now the steward of the Zongren Mansion is having a headache. Fortunately, the head of the Zongren Mansion came soon to deal with the difficulties of the eldest prince.
said that it was difficult, but in fact, the eldest prince picked on Prince Mo's fault to sue.
"Receiving gifts...... "The head of the Zongren Mansion really has a headache.
That's not a bribe. But it's good to say, it's hard to hear, the principal is embarrassed, and since the defendant has come, he has to deal with it. (To be continued......)
