The subordinate turned around in front of the ministers of the political affairs hall, and finally put the silver plate covered with red cloth in his hand in front of Li Xian.

For a while, Liu Renliang, Pei Yan, Xue Yuanchao, Cui Zhiwen, Li Yiyan and Wang Dezhen all looked at the silver plate.

In this round, everyone's eyes were fixed on each other.

They want to know what others have voted, but the truth of everything is blocked by the red cloth.

Seeing Li Xian's hand on the silver plate, everyone's breathing became solemn.

Once at this moment, Wei Zhibei has no more than four votes, then the political affairs hall will send the manuscript recommending Doulu Qinwang as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites to the desk of Empress Wu tomorrow.

Cui Zhiwen is even more so, Li Xian's cold eyes just now made Cui Zhiwen's heart jump and he felt a chill.

We must not let Wei Zhiqi not even reach the second round.

Cui Zhiwen didn't know what Pei Yan and Wang Dezhen thought just now, and even voted for Doulu Qinwang.

Didn't the two of them say that they would stay neutral, and now everything was exposed.

Pei Yan, Wang Dezhen, Cui Zhiwen, and Li Yiyan all support Xiangwang.

So do the four prime ministers also support King Xiang to inherit the throne more than the crown prince?

The situation suddenly became heavy.

Everyone's breath was already holding their breath.

If it is this time, Wei Zhi's votes will not exceed ......

The red cloth was directly lifted in an instant, and what appeared in front of everyone was four red beans and two white beans.

The four prime ministers agreed that Wei Zhihua was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the same as Doulu Qinwang.

……

It seems that everyone is just giving Shiro a face.

Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Liu Renliang.

Liu Renliang's face was indifferent, and Xue Yuanchao on the side also looked cold.

Li Xian was stunned in his heart, and his face gradually turned cold.

Before voting for Doulu Qinwang, except for the white beans voted by Liu Renliang and Xue Yuanchao, everyone else was red beans.

Now to vote for Wei Zhiyuan, four people voted for red beans, which means that two people voted for white beans.

In addition to Liu Renliang and Xue Yuanchao, there are two people who voted by mistake before, so there are two people who are firmly committed to Lu Qinwang.

In other words, among the six Zaiji present, two of them have really fallen to Shiro.

Of the six prime ministers, two are on their side, two are on Shiro's side, and two are neutral.

Li Xian figured out the situation in an instant, and his gaze fell on Pei Yan's body in the first instant.

Pei Yan nodded at Li Xian with a solemn face, and Li Xian nodded slightly in return.

It seems that Bae Xiang seems to be a neutral person.

Li Xian looked at the other three again, Cui Zhiwen, Wang Dezhen, and Li Yiyan, all three of them were surprised.

I seem to be very surprised by the current result.

It can be seen that they are also aware of the problem with the two white beans.

But who voted for those two white beans?

Li Xian's gaze swept over Li Yiyan, Wang Dezhen, and Cui Zhiwen.

Li Yiyan is from the Li family in Longxi, and he should be the one who leans towards himself, so it is Wang Dezhen and Cui Zhiwen?

Wang Dezhen is the emperor's person, he should have no position in this matter, could it be Cui Zhiwen and Li Yiyan?

Cui Zhiwen, not long ago, Cui Zhiwen fully supported himself on behalf of the Cui family, why did his attitude suddenly change, was he mistaken?

Li Xian's gaze fell back on Pei Yan, could it be that he had made a mistake in his judgment of Pei Yan.

Li Xian also had a headache for a moment, and among the people, two of them completely stood on Shiro's body, which was almost completely equal to his status in the political affairs hall.

This is something that Li Xian never expected, and I am afraid that Liu Renliang and Xue Yuanchao did not expect that there would be such a change today.

Who is it that supports Shiro?

The six prime ministers of the current dynasty, even if Liu Renliang and Xue Yuanchao are put aside, the remaining four are not simple.

Pei Yan is the secretary of the criminal department, and he was promoted to the middle of the service with the merit of checking the acres of fields.

Cui Zhiwen has been a side worker for many years, adding Shangshu Zuocheng, and entering the Yellow Gate to serve as a waiter.

Wang Dezhen is also a military meritorious, from the household servant to the Huangmen waiter.

As for Li Yiyan, it is a lineage of the Li family in Longxi, although it is not a clan, but it is also very close to the clan.

In particular, Li Yiyan has a very good relationship with the former Prime Minister Hao Chujun, and he is dissatisfied with the ruling power of the Empress Wu, how can this kind of person get close to people like the North Gate Bachelor.

Li Xian had an incomparably headache for a while, and he couldn't even tell who was his own person and who was the enemy.

"Your Highness, since Doulu Qinwang and Wei have the same number of votes, then the second round will begin, and who will be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, this round will be seen."

Liu Renliang looked at Li Xian calmly, but he didn't look at the others at all, as if he was not in a hurry to open the truth in this.

Or maybe he's seen what he's all about.

"Good!" Li Xian nodded seriously, and then looked at the crowd: "Zhuqing, now there are Hubu Shilang Wei and Hubu Shilang Dou Lu Qin Wangke Kejin Rite Shangshu, and those who agree with Wei's price will vote for red beans; Those who agree with Doulu's admiration will vote for black beans; Those who disagree with either will abstain from voting for white beans. ”

"Whoa!"

……

Cui Zhiwen's face became solemn, just like everyone else.

Liu Renliang began to cast the first vote, but Cui Zhiwen's gaze swept directly and gently over Li Yiyan and Wang Dezhen.

Previously, there were four votes cast for the bid.

In addition to Liu Renliang and Xue Yuanchao, there should be a vote for Pei Yan.

This can be determined from Pei Yan's constant gaze.

The so-called too much.

Pei Yan is a servant, and in Menxia Province, it was originally a situation in which Cui Zhiwen and Wang Dezhen joined forces to fight against Pei Yan, but now Cui Zhiwen and Wang Dezhen not only joined forces, but even brought Li Yiyan, the Chinese scholar.

Pei Yan immediately voted for Wei Beibei without question.

Previously, Doulu Qinwang won four votes, but if this time, Wei Zhibei won three votes, and Doulu Qinwang would win from this round of the game of the Ministry of Rites.

That not only means that Empress Wu and the emperor will pay attention to the loss of control of the political hall at the same time, but they will inevitably be cleaned in the future, and even Pei Yan will not let them go.

Pei Yan is a domineering person, if he finds out that the Prime Minister's Mansion has colluded with three prime ministers and stirred up trouble in the political hall, he will not let them go.

The previous layout of the Xiangwang Mansion was to use Cui Zhiwen and Li Yiyan to fight against Xue Yuanchao and Liu Renliang, and then find the North Gate Bachelor to persuade Empress Wu.

But if Pei Yan is also involved, the situation will immediately tilt.

This tilt is very severe.

Even every tilt of the smile angle can mean the loss of countless lives.

So in the third vote, Cui Zhiwen voted for Wei Zhiwei without the slightest hesitation.

That's right, the fourth vote for Wei Zhibei came from him.

Sure enough, to his surprise, Li Yiyan and Wang Dezhen gave up their votes.

Fortunately, they did not vote against it, otherwise a negative vote would mean that everyone completely tore their faces.

In today's situation, the East Palace still has the advantage, if the contradictions break out all of a sudden, it will only be them who are unlucky, after all, the prince is still the prince.

Not to mention, there is also the emperor.

Once the emperor intervenes, they are afraid that they will be dismissed from office, and their families will be ruined and killed in an instant.

Cui Zhiwen inexplicably felt a sweat on his back, and someone was secretly taking advantage of the situation to calculate him.

This is not just a calculation, it is to completely kick the Cui family away from the center.

Don't look at this time, King Xiang does have a chance, but there is also a saying, its rise is also vigorous, and its death is also fast.

Some people just want to let them completely expose their faces, and then use thunderbolts to completely destroy them.

What if King Xiang has a chance to ascend to the throne again, if this time, everyone around King Xiang dies, then King Xiang will be just a puppet if he has a chance.

What a deep calculation, such a cruel method.

Is it the emperor?

Cui Zhiwen couldn't help but think of the emperor who lived in the Zhenguan Palace, after all, the beginning of the current game was the emperor's decentralization.

But soon, Cui Zhiwen gave up this idea.

The collusion between the Zheng family and the Xiangwang Mansion was extremely hidden, and even hid outside Luoyang City, and the emperor's hands and feet were not so fast......

Peng Wang.

Li Xuan, who was dressed in a black brocade robe, pressed an eight-sided Han sword in his hand, and had a cold face, appeared in Cui Zhiwen's mind.

Almost instantly, he affirmed his thoughts.

Before being on Weishui, Cui Zhiwen promised Li Xuan that he would support the prince in everything, but now he walked with King Xiang and backstabbed the prince.

With that Peng Wang's retributive personality, it may be strange to let them go.

And that man's calculation is extremely deep, as the general of the right guard, the power he can mobilize outside Luoyang City is far above the city.

In other words, their conspiracy with King Xiang has been discovered by King Peng.

That's why today's vicious calculations are in place.

What he wants is not their failure, but the destruction of their family.

Even if this time it was really Doulu Qinwang who was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, King Peng, who had already made calculations in advance, would not let them gain much benefit at all.

Even the price paid is extremely painful.

A silver plate covered with a red cloth appeared in front of him, and Cui Zhiwen grabbed a large handful from his silver plate, and then put it under the red cloth of the silver plate in the hands of the person in front of him.

Immediately with a crisp "staring" sound, Cui Zhiwen had already grabbed a handful of beans and took them back at the next moment, and there was only one missing in it.

A red bean, Cui Zhiwen still chose Wei to be the price this time.

It was not Doulu Qinwang who reached an agreement with King Xiang, and after perceiving the incomparable danger, Cui Zhiwen threw himself at the prince without the slightest hesitation this time.

This time, he backstabbed King Xiang.

……

The silver plate that had flashed in front of Liu Renliang, Xue Yuanchao, Pei Yan and Cui Zhiwen came to Wang Dezhen.

Seeing that Wang Dezhen also put a bean that was unknown to outsiders into the silver plate, Cui Zhiwen's eyes narrowed.

If he remembered correctly, Wang Dezhen was the deputy head of the marching army of Luo Dao, and he worshipped the prime minister for transporting grain and grass for military merits, although he and King Peng had no contact since then, but who knows if there were any secrets between the two in secret.

The silver plate continued to turn, and Cui Zhiwen looked at Li Yiyan.

It's also a little strange, obviously Li Yiyan and the queen of heaven don't have a good relationship, but this time he voted for the king of the North Gate, who is surrounded by bachelors from the North Gate, which is very wrong.

These two people, could it be said that they have been ...... by King Peng

"Gentlemen!" Li Xian took the new silver plate from the front of the housekeeper, then looked at the prime ministers, and said with a reluctant smile: "Now that the voting is over, whoever gets the most votes in this is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites recommended by the Political Affairs Hall, if it is said that the votes are equal, then ......"

"Let the queen of heaven decide." Liu Renliang turned his head to look at everyone, and then looked under the red cloth.

"Hmm." Li Xian nodded, and without any further hesitation, he directly opened the red cloth.

Three red beans, two black beans, and one white bean.

Wei waits for the price of the Ministry of Rites.

Cui Zhiwen looked at Pei Yan in disbelief for a moment.
