Crazy! Crazy batch of chief ministers reduced to subordinates

Xiao Mian acted quickly and issued the decree of reward and punishment almost on the third day.

Langzhuo was granted the title of Crown Prince, Taishi and Imperial Censor, and Anguo Gong Xu Zhaoting was granted the title of General Huwei, taking charge of the entire army. Other ministers who had made contributions in suppressing the rebellion were rewarded one by one, and the whole city was celebrating.

Xiao Mian thought for the sake of his flesh and blood, Xiao Yi was imprisoned, and Zhao Guifei gave him poisonous wine. Because he thought that Marquis Gaoyang had contributed to the country, he was deprived of his hereditary title, his military power was confiscated, and he was sent to Lingnan.

For the sake of Princess Xiao Yan, Xiao Mian did not convict Zhao Shu and asked him to move to another mansion with the princess.

After the Gaoyang Marquis Mansion was condemned, Zhao Shu was still willing to live in the capital, so he presented a memorial, asked for peace, and followed his father to Lingnan.

Xiao Mian was grateful for his filial piety and agreed.

Beisheng did not see Zhao Shu for the last time, and only received the letter he left from shopkeeper Liu.

He didn't say much, he just asked Beisheng to take care of his mother who returned to his hometown at his convenience.

Ten days later, the prince.

But this time, Beisheng was not the only one who entered the palace to run for the crown princess, but there was also Xu Nanyin.

Bei Sheng frowned and seemed to have guessed the reason, but he couldn't figure it out clearly.

Nanyin was not on the selection list, so why was she announced to the palace? She vaguely felt that this had something to do with Lang Zhuo.

Both daughters are running for election, and no one in the family is happy.

Xu Zhaoting's face seemed to be coated with charcoal dust, and he looked unhappy.

Regarding the Beisheng matter, Xu Zhaoting found some free time to argue with Lang Zhuo in front of Yun Shiyan.

Lang Zhuo said, "It's not all the fault of the juniors. Beisheng has his own juniors to take care of it, so I don't have to worry about it."

With just this sentence, all Xu Zhaoting's complaints were silenced.

He wanted to see what Lang Zhuo's plan was, but he didn't expect that when Queen Yizhi came, his two daughters would be involved.

After forcing a smile and seeing off the father-in-law who was delivering the message, Xu Zhaoting went to Lang's house without stopping.

Lang Zhuo just came back from outside and bumped into Xu Zhaoting's car. Seeing Xu Zhaoting's livid face, Lang Zhuo greeted him with a smile, "Master, what's the matter?"

Xu Zhaoting thrust Queen Yi Zhi into Lang Zhuo's arms, "See for yourself!"

Lang Zhuo unfolded Yizhi and glanced at it twice, a smile appeared on his brows: "I just blew the wind in the queen's ear, but I didn't expect that she actually listened to me."

Xu Zhaoting almost choked in his chest and couldn't come up:
"Why did you catch my two daughters and cause trouble! I listened to you before and sent Bei Sheng to the palace. It's good for you that you got her out again. Now her appearance is ruined and there are still some on the selection list. She, what's wrong with Guan Nanyin?"

Xu Zhaoting was a little incoherent.

Lang Zhuo looked at Aifeng behind him and said, "Please come in and have a cup of tea with me. Speak slowly and make a noise at the door to make others think that I am at odds with you."

Xu Zhaoting felt that Lang Zhuo would not stop until he was angry to death.

He walked in and said earnestly: "Although I have been away from home all the time, our family has never treated you badly. My wife has taken great care of you during the years you have been in Beijing. We do not ask you to treat us badly." I’m so grateful, I can’t repay you with kindness, right?”

"You seduced my daughter behind my back, and you persuaded the prince to choose Beisheng in front of others. This is not the way to be a human being! If you can't give me a clear explanation today, I don't want the head on my neck anymore, and you will expose this matter. Come before the Holy One!"

Lang Zhuo was not angry. He turned around and smiled. He put a hand on Xu Zhaoting's back and dragged him into the house. Orfeng served the hot tea and then retreated. Lang Zhuo picked up the tongs to stir up the fire in the fire cage and pushed Xu Zhaoting next to him.

He casually took out a red envelope from the drawer of the tea table and handed it to Xu Zhaoting with both hands: "This is the marriage contract between me and Beisheng. The master has already signed it as a witness. The other place is waiting for the father-in-law to write and agree." ”

Xu Zhaoting unfolded the red seal with trembling hands, feeling that his heart was about to beat out of his chest!
He didn't know if he was too timid or if Lang Zhuo was too bold.

The matter of running for the Crown Princess has not yet been resolved. Lang Zhuo has actually signed a marriage contract with Beisheng. There are red letters on the red paper. In addition to the names of Lang Zhuo and Yun Shiyan, there are also three characters "Xu Beisheng" written in one stroke. .

This is proof of bullying!
Xu Zhaoting was filled with anger in his chest, but he didn't know what to say, so he just muttered: "No wonder Yun Shiyan had to go back to Runing yesterday. He couldn't take care of his son, so he left all this mess to me! "

Lang Zhuo carefully sipped the hot tea and smiled slightly, "No matter what I do, Master will support me unconditionally."

Xu Zhaoting glared at him, "That's natural, otherwise how could you be lawless!"

Lang Zhuo suffocated slightly, put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up, knelt down and bowed to Xu Zhaoting: "This junior should have called me father-in-law long ago! There is no heir apparent in the Duke's palace, and Beisheng and Nanyin must have one." Only by becoming the concubine can we continue the glory of the Xu family. Beisheng's appearance has been ruined and is not suitable to be the crown prince's favorite concubine. Only Nanyin!"

He analyzed the pros and cons so clearly, but Xu Zhaoting underestimated Lang Zhuo's cunning.

He has a plan to include everyone!
The crown prince's selection of a concubine is the first major event in the palace, and it is also the first happy event after the gloom of the court has been cleared away.

Princess Boling personally handled it, with the emperor and queen supervising, and the Ministry of Rites assisting. Each of the ministers held a vote, waiting to vote.

The concubine selection takes place in the Saga Palace. The prince takes the lead in selecting three candidates from all the noble ladies, and then the ministers select one from the three selected by the prince to become the crown concubine.

The crown prince will make the decision to reward the unselected ladies, while the two who are unsuccessful in the selection of crown prince concubines will no longer compete for other concubines.

Xiao Xun took a pen and glanced around among the rows of noble ladies, and his eyes stayed for a moment on the veiled woman standing behind Xu Nanyin.

He first wrote down the names of the three people, and then gave the written list to Liu Cheng, the Minister of Rites.

Everyone held their breath and concentrated. Lang Zhuo stood at the front of the crowd, holding the ballot in his hands under his sleeves. The ballot had been crumpled and soaked with sweat.

Liu Cheng took the list and read: "The crown princess selected as the noble daughter is Zhong Yunzhen, the daughter of Zhong Quan, the Minister of War, Hua Jia, the daughter of Grand Master Hua Yun, and Pei Ning, the daughter of Pei Qin, the Minister of Punishments..."

Beisheng's scalp exploded!
If she hadn't been eliminated in the first round, she might have become one of the prince's other concubines!
Pei Ning stood beside Bei Sheng. She frowned and whispered, "Why am I still here?"

Pei Qin was implicated by Xiao Yi. Although he was still the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, he had no real power. He was just waiting to retire and return home after handing over his official duties.

At this time, Pei Ning really didn't expect that the prince would be on the list of candidates for the crown princess.

But after a moment, she figured it out again. After being wiped out in the first round, she would no longer become the crown prince's concubine, she would just be a companion.

After thinking about it, Peining lowered his eyes and smiled.

The ministers had already started voting, and the results came out soon. The crown prince was Zhong Yunzhen.

After the list came out just now, although Zhong Yunxun had a confident expression on his face, he was still a little nervous. Now that the results were announced, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Xiao Mian and the Queen seemed very satisfied with the result and nodded with smiles.

Zhong Quan and Zhong Yunxun even stood in front of people and kowtowed to the Holy Queen to express their gratitude.

Huajia and Peining, who were not selected from the list, can go home.
