The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 198
[Chapter 198 Lucky Audience]
Emperor Chu looked at the civil and military officials kneeling on the ground, with an elusive light flashing in his eyes.
He looked at Fang Xiu, with a smile on his face, and said casually: “Of all the people, they chose me. It’s a coincidence.”
Fang Xiu looked at Emperor Chu, with a solemn look on his face, and said seriously: “Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and a man of destiny. He will naturally be favored by God. I will send someone to deliver this gift to the palace.”
Since the incident at Zhuxuanzhai last time, Fang Xiu has become much more cautious in this regard.
No matter what time, the emperor is always the one with the most face, especially the Emperor of Chu.
Now that we have come up with this lucky gift package, we must go from beginning to end and select a lucky audience. Naturally, we must not forget this cautious emperor.
After everyone congratulated them, they returned to their original positions.
Yan Zhuang, the chief minister of the cabinet, sat closest to Fang Xiu.
There was an expression of interest on his old face, and he looked at Fang Xiu and murmured to himself: “Your Majesty is a man of destiny. It is reasonable to be chosen, but I don’t know that the next lucky audience will be “Who?”
As soon as he said this, everyone who had just sat down raised their heads.
There is no doubt that the first lucky spectator is His Majesty, but the second lucky spectator requires real luck.
Three thousand taels is nothing to everyone here, but it can still be considered a good fortune.
Out of the vast crowd, only one person can be chosen. Just thinking about it is very interesting.
When Fang Xiu heard this, he smiled slightly, walked up to the Emperor of Chu, bowed, and said: “Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and is under orders from Heaven. Your Majesty’s wishes are God’s will.
Therefore, I boldly ask Your Majesty to condescend to draw today’s number one.” “Two people”
When the civil and military officials present heard this, they were startled for a moment, and then looked at Fang Xiu with eyes full of surprise.
Who said that Fang Zhonglang would suffer from a brain disease and be inferior to ordinary children?
Look at this, could it be said by a mentally retarded person?
“In that case.”
When Emperor Chu heard this, a smile appeared on his face, he stood up from the dragon throne and said, “I will also join in the fun.”
Under the personal protection of Jinwu Guards, he walked to the middle of the parade ground, Pull out a piece of paper at random from the lottery box and read: “Six hundred and seventy-one.”
The number on the paper is the seat number.
The larger the seat number, the further away from the center.
This 671 has obviously exceeded the VIP area. The ordinary people sitting in the ordinary area are ordinary people from the capital.
As soon as Emperor Chu finished speaking, a Jinwu guard walked out quickly and brought someone back after a while.
This person’s clothes are very ordinary, his appearance is also very ordinary, and he doesn’t seem to be in good spirits.
When Jin Wuwei brought him here, he was still in a daze.
Of course, in future generations, if someone suddenly wins the lottery, his performance will be no better than him.
“Come on, please visit your Majesty.”
For an ordinary person, he may never have the opportunity to see His Majesty the Emperor in his lifetime.
What’s more, under the gaze of nearly ten thousand people, this lucky spectator knelt on the ground, trembling, and couldn’t even speak.
At the same time, seeing that the second lucky audience member was really just an ordinary citizen, the already extremely quiet school parade ground became noisy again.
“Six hundred and seventy-one, six hundred and seventy-one, I am six hundred and seventy-two, just a little bit short. These three thousand taels of silver are mine!”
“Isn’t this Lao Wang next door? Two days ago, because he didn’t know What happened? How did you become a lucky spectator after being beaten?”
With the end of the lottery, the pro-military parade also officially ended.
The competition with the grassland will have to wait until three days later. At that time, there will not be so many foreign envoys, and even if they lose, it will not be a big deal.
Although it sounds a bit rogue, for the Chu State, this is the best solution.
Emperor Chu returned to the palace, and the foreign envoys, civil and military officials also withdrew.
Prince Ning was the only one sitting there, looking pale and looking frightened.
When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he stepped forward and whispered: “Your Highness, please don’t forget.”
Prince Ning raised his eyes, glanced at him, squeezed out a smile, and wanted to say something, but couldn’t open his mouth.
When Fang Xiu saw this, he shook his head and walked out of the parade ground without saying anything else.
He didn’t care about the one hundred thousand taels of silver.
Regardless of whether Prince Ning agrees or not, the note will eventually be delivered to the person who draws the lottery.
If King Ning keeps his promise and really sends one hundred thousand taels of silver, it will be considered an unexpected gain. If not, nothing will be lost.
The final competition of the pro-military review, who wins and who loses, has a lot to do with it.
As soon as the game ended, countless news spread in all directions.
The victory of the right winger Lin Wei made many people find it incredible.
After all, before the last game, the left feather forest guard began to lead the right feather forest guard.
I didn’t expect that Lin Wei, the right winger, would win so easily.
At the same time, the two lucky spectators picked out from the school parade also became the focus of discussions after dinner in the streets.
“The lucky gift package for the pro-military review turned out to be real, with a total of three thousand taels of silver. I thought they were just showing off and would give it to their own people in the end, but I didn’t expect it.”
“Why didn’t they give it to their own people? The first gift package wasn’t “Did you give it to Your Majesty?”
“By the way, I heard that Your Majesty’s share was taken out by Prince Ning. Maybe he was the one who made trouble and wanted to please Your Majesty?”
“
If he hadn’t been the troublemaker, maybe I would have had a chance!”
Prince Ning sat on the Grand Master’s chair, looking straight ahead with a gloomy expression.
This time I tried to plot it, but it didn’t work out. Instead, I got infamy for no reason, and maybe even lost one hundred thousand taels of silver. It was like losing my wife and losing my army.
He hated Fang Xiu and hated himself even more.
Obviously such a simple thing can be understood by so many civil and military officials present at a glance, but I didn’t notice it.
But for today’s incident, I really can’t blame others, I can only blame myself.
Who made him fail to see that he didn’t even think about such a simple thing?
When Prince Ning thought of this, he felt even more upset, and his chest felt like it was about to explode.
He took a few deep breaths, gritted his teeth and said, “Come here!”
Next to him, a servant from Prince Ning’s Mansion immediately walked up to him and said respectfully, “Your Highness, what are your orders?”
Prince Ning showed a look of struggle on his face for a moment. After that, he seemed to have made up his mind and said: “Prepare one hundred thousand taels of silver and send it to Fang Mansion!”
Fang Xiu, although he was just a small Yulin Guard Zuo Zhonglang General, had a grudge against him.
But after experiencing so many things in the past half month, especially seeing his father’s attitude, he knew in his heart that no matter what the cost, he could not turn against Fang Xiu.
I originally thought I could use this shady incident to make His Majesty understand Fang Xiu’s true face, but I didn’t expect this to be the result.
In this case, it is better to make mistakes and take advantage of this opportunity to resolve the grudges of the past
