Chapter 821: Got it

After hearing Queen Wang's words, Wang Ping'an whispered, saying, "Did the little nun Lekong do rituals with the emperor? What kind of rituals are you doing?"

Queen Wang spat and said, "How do I know what ritual they are doing? Could it be that when they do it, I still have to watch it and hand them a towel and tea?"

She said something angry. After she finished speaking, she felt that it was inappropriate and she had to add another sentence: "I'm afraid that the emperor will be tired, so I'll send him delicious food and nourish his body, and the black chicken is given."

"Black chicken?" Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "This can indeed replenish fatigue, but it will be better if women eat it. For example, stewed black chicken with red beans, polygonatum, and tangerine peel can replenish blood, nourish the skin and strengthen the body..."

Before he could finish his words, Queen Wang snorted and said, "Next time, I won't send black chickens, just give Polygonatum so that they can eat enough!"

Wang Ping'an was stunned and thought to himself: "I'm so angry. Why is she a little shrew now? Even if she dares to think about these words before, she may not dare to say them!"

Queen Wang said, "Brother, sister plans to send the little nun out of the palace as soon as possible, so as not to worry. When the matter of becoming a crown prince is finished, I will send her away. You will still have to do this!"

Wang Ping'an frowned and wanted to send Wu Meiniang out so soon, but if she didn't send her away, it would be possible to secretly plot against her, as the queen said that she was thinking. It was too common for death in the palace, and the emperor could not always be by Wu Meiniang's side. If she was plotted against, it would be difficult to find out.

Wang Ping'an said: "Sister, it seems inappropriate to send her away so soon. Originally, the emperor wanted to make Zhonger the crown prince today, but Xiao Yu jumped out and broke up with chaos, so he failed to make Zhonger directly. Then he changed to a lottery draw. I wonder what the relationship between Xiao Yu and Xiao Fox is, but he is a relative?"

Queen Wang was shocked and shook her head and said, "I have never heard of it before. Oh, if this is the case, Fox Xiao is still very threatening. Brother, think of a way, how can I get Fox Xiao?"

Wang Ping'an grinned, was there any mistake? Palace fights are your women's business. I don't have the ability to kill a concubine? Besides, Concubine Xiao Shu himself repaired it, so I don't need to take action!

He said, "I'm not very familiar with this... the matter in the palace, so I'm afraid I can't help this! Sister, you have to find a way out for yourself."

Queen Wang sighed. She knew that it was impossible to ask Wang Ping'an for this matter, so she did not force her.

After the two talked for a while, Wang Ping'an immediately left.

The more Queen Wang thought about it, the more cowardly she became. She was so dignified that she could not help but a little concubine. But she couldn't think of a good way, so she had to give up. After a while, she remembered that the little nun Kong had come again. She had some means to deal with the little nun. Now she felt a little balanced. She planned to wait for Li Zhong to become the prince and immediately cross the river and destroy the bridge and drive the little nun out of the palace.

In the next two days, the ministers in the court were busy and had to draw lots for the crown prince. This kind of thing had never been done before and there was no classic to check, so they had to innovate. As long as everything was related to "new", the trouble would be indispensable. In order to gain a place in this grand event, the ministers naturally made suggestions and made the lottery matters look like sacrifices and celebrations, which were inappropriate.

On the auspicious day of the zodiac, Li Zhi personally led a group of ministers and concubines with princes to the Taimiao to worship the ancestors of the Li family and began to draw lots.

The rituals of sacrifice are quite complicated. The weather is hot at this time. After more than two hours of ceremony, even strong people will inevitably lose their physical strength. The elderly ministers have signs of heatstroke.

For example, Xiao Yu, who is in his seventies, can't stand it even if he is playing soy sauce at the ceremony. He worships the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty royal family, but those who are not allowed to stand must kneel down. Simply put, the whole ceremony is to kneel down and kowtow, listen to the sacrificial text, then kowtow, listen to the music of bells and drums, and then kowtow... In the end, he doesn't have to think about kowtow. As long as the eunuch above sounds, the ministers will hit the ground, no matter why!

Wang Ping'an was sweating profusely and complained in his heart. Sacrifice is really too complicated. Ordinary families are fine, but the royal family is too deadly. It seems that if they don't make a living person dizzy, they will not show their nostalgia for their ancestors!

Finally, the sacrifice came to an end. Chu Suiliang stepped forward and thought about the article about why he wanted to establish a prince. He wrote it himself. According to his temper, he could write it anyway, no matter how people couldn't understand it.

After listening in a daze for a long time, Wang Ping'an heard a voice. Chu Suiliang asked the ministers to pray for each of them for a quarter of an hour. In fact, this was to ask the emperor and the ministers to go to the cottage to make it convenient. Otherwise, after kneeling for two hours, who would bear it? It doesn't matter if the ministers were suffocated, but what if the emperor was suffocated, what would you do? Do you want to turn the emperor into the late emperor too!

The ministers went there one after another, so Wang Ping'an naturally went there too. Under the leadership of the little eunuch, he arrived at the thatched cottage. Well, the thatched cottage in the Taimiao is really big, enough for hundreds of people to be convenient at the same time. It seems that the people who built the Taimiao also understand the sacrificial process, so they built such a humanized thatched cottage.

After Wang Ping'an came out, he saw a small official nodding and bowing, and said with a smile: "Prince Wang, Xiao Sibeng, and he was ordered by Empress Xiao to discuss with you if you have something to do. Please borrow a step to speak."

When Wang Ping'an heard that it was Xiao Situi, his face immediately darkened and he shouted: "You are a mere minor official, why have you come to participate in such a major ceremony?"

There are regulations on this kind of ritual, and officials with insufficient rank cannot attend at all. Otherwise, how many officials in Chang'an would come, and there would be no such big place for them to kneel down!

Xiao Situi was ordered by Concubine Xiao Shu and came to explore Wang Ping'an's words. Since she learned about the lottery for the crown prince, Concubine Xiao Shu had started moving around. Unfortunately, she had no strong support in the court, and only one Xiao Situi could help. However, Xiao Situi was too young to have a job and was not qualified to date the ***ers. No one could ask for it.

At the end of his life, Xiao Situi had to bite the bullet and thicken his face and come to Wang Ping'an. This was a ill-fated search for medical treatment. He didn't know that Wang Ping'an and Xiao Shufei had a turn against each other, and he thought that with his perfect tongue, he could have some friendship with Wang Ping'an and get some news!

Seeing Wang Ping'an's face turned mute, Xiao Situi thought to himself: "Oh, I'm so unpretentious, I'll make a lottery for a crown prince, but everyone has a chance. If Su Jie really becomes the crown prince, you are not afraid that I will take revenge on you. At that time, I will be the real relative of the crown prince!"

But before he could show his tongue out, Wang Ping'an didn't give him a chance at all. He glared at all and said, "What do you want to say to Yuan Xiang? Ah, I understand, you want Yuan Xiang to cheat and disrupt the lottery ceremony! Humph, Yuan Xiang must inform the emperor of this matter, just wait for punishment!"

After saying that, Wang Ping'an shook his sleeves and left with great strides. At this moment, he was most afraid of being swaying and never being able to do things that could be done with all the best, otherwise it would arouse suspicion from people in his camp, especially in such public places. How could he follow Xiao Situi and find a place to talk? This is a big taboo!

Xiao Si retired and had a low position, and could not understand the mentality of the *** people. He was really shocked and angry when he saw Wang Ping'an so disrespectful. He was considered a royal relative. If he tried his best, he could get along with Wang Ping'an. How could he be so despised!

Xiao Si was so angry that his face turned purple. He stood at the door of the thatched cottage and said hatefully: "When I go home, I will tick a straw man and write your name, thorn every day, and beat you every day. I see how long you can be arrogant!"

This is the door of the thatched cottage, with people coming and going. Xiao Situi talked to himself here, and happened to be heard by someone. This person was nothing but the eunuch Mi Xiaomiao who was so proud!

After Mi Xiaomiao went to the thatched cottage, just after washing, he thought the towel inside was dirty and what everyone used. He didn't like to use it. He was shaking his hands, but suddenly he saw a green robe official standing at the door, muttering and typing the grass man.

Mi Xiaomiao looked forward and saw Wang Ping'an's back. She immediately understood that this little official was cursing Wang Ping'an. He and Wang Ping'an can be regarded as brothers, so he certainly didn't want Wang Ping'an to be cursed.

Pretending to hear nothing, Mi Xiaomiao coughed and said, "Hey, hey, I'm going to get me a hand towel, so I have no eyesight!" He wanted to teach this little official a lesson for Wang Ping'an.

Xiao Situi was startled and turned around and saw that it was Mi Xiaomiao. Master Mi did not recognize him, so he recognized Master Mi. Xiao Situi hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, let's take a handkerchief for Lord Mi."

Mi Xiaomiao exclaimed, he had a problem, that is, he didn't like others to call him father-in-law, but he liked to be called Lord Mi. But only those who are familiar with him know about him, but how did this person know about him?

Mi Xiaomiao said: "Forget it, we can't wait here. By the way, you look familiar, what's your name? Where do you work?"

Xiao Situi hurriedly said, "I am humble in my position, Xiao Situi..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mi Xiaomiao said, "You are the uncle of Concubine Shu? We remember it!" He turned his hand and refused to answer Xiao Situi, and he left with a swagger.

Hey, Xiao Situi was so angry that he was so angry that he was full of smoke. Why do these big men have all the same virtues! He looked down on me, right? I looked down on you, and I looked down on you, and I also looked down on you. My ancestors have also produced an emperor. What are you? What are you old people! Look at me, I won’t kill more straw men, and I will beat you, hit villains, and hit eunuchs!

Mi Xiaomiao caught up with Wang Ping'an and whispered: "Suang Wang, you have offended the people of Xiao Shufei's family. Xiao Situi was scolding you behind the scenes. We heard this and said we wanted to slap a straw man, beat a villain, and beat you!"

Wang Ping'an was stunned and thought to himself: "There is such a thing? Well, people nowadays believe in ghosts and gods, and it is not surprising that they believe in grass-piercing people. But I have to say this to Queen Wang. I will be a grass-piercing people for her son to become the crown prince. She still has to thank me!"

When he returned to the main hall, the ministers came back in a short while and stood in line again. Li Zhi also made some convenience and drank some mung bean soup. He felt very tired and wanted to go back early, but before the ceremony was over, he couldn't leave first, so he had to sigh that it was really hard to be an emperor.

Chu Suiliang and Changsun Wuji were also tired, but this ceremony was set by them, not for anything else, just to make everyone tired. As long as everyone is so tired that they will faint, they can cheat and be foolproof.

Chu Suiliang took the article and started to read it again, telling the sky, the earth, and the ancestors. He reported for another hour, and the sun was far west, and the ministers really had heatstroke!

Finally, Chu Suiliang said, "The auspicious time has come, the golden box is checked!" He laid enough preparations before him. He finally said these eight words, and both the emperor and the minister were relieved.

Changsun Wuji personally held a tray with several small gold medals on it, with letters engraved on the gold medal, one with the meaning of "Suiting the Heavenly Heaven", and the other gold medals engraved on it "State the Lord without 2002".

The meaning of following the heaven comes from the jade seal being ordered by heaven, and one will live forever; and the service of the king is taken from "Mandarin". Of course, it cannot be written on the gold medal or not, but it must be written with orthodox and gorgeous words.

Changsun Wuji held the tray and presented it to Li Zhi first. Li Zhi nodded, and he also showed it to the concubines. Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu were both there, each holding their own prince. After seeing the gold medal, they both nodded to show their approval. Changsun Wuji held the tray again and went to the ministers to show them. The ministers also nodded, and the mock-up was finished.

After checking the sign, Changsun Wuji got the front, turned his back and put the gold medal in the gold box.

Wang Ping'an stared at the performance, but he didn't notice that Changsun Wuji had exchanged gold medals. He wondered why he didn't cheat? He didn't make two sets of gold medals? It's not difficult to make gold medals. In two days, let alone two sets, even two hundred sets are enough!

Chu Suiliang stood up again, and talked a lot, annoyed everyone present and wanted to throw his shoes away. After a long time, Chu Suiliang said: "Go to the old and the young, please draw the gold medal!"

Queen Wang hurriedly held Li Zhong's hand, took him to the golden box, and whispered: "Follow what my mother taught you, take out a gold medal from the box!"

Li Zhong responded, and the child obediently reached into the small hole in the middle of the box. After touching for a long time, he took out a gold medal and handed it to Changsun Wuji next to him.

Changsun Wuji took the gold medal, pretended to be surprised, and shouted loudly: "This is really the will of heaven, the will of my ancestors and ancestors of the Tang Dynasty! The will of heaven!" He raised the gold medal high, turned around and strode forward, and presented it to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi didn't know the trick of the lottery draw this time. He really thought Li Zhong was lucky. He was the first to draw, but he ended up winning the will of Shuntian. He smiled and said, "Okay, it's the will of heaven and the protection of the ancestors and ancestors, so I will establish..."

Before he could finish speaking, someone shouted: "Your Majesty, I will not accept it!"

The shout was sharp and loud, which scared everyone!

Li Zhi turned his face and looked at it. Seeing that it was Concubine Xiao Shu, he was very impatient. Everyone was so tired. The ceremony was finally over, but she screamed again, which was really annoying.

Queen Wang was also angry. She had known that Fox Xiao wanted to get the demon Ezi, and she was really wrong!

Seeing that her son didn't come forward, she had no chance and the lottery was over, and Li Zhong became the crown prince. How could she be convinced?
