The happy life of a prodigal

Different from others, he was very serious about checking the lottery box. He went around the box three or four times, carefully looked at it from beginning to end, and then put his hand into the box.

King Ning is a careful person. When the civil and military officials inspected it, they clearly stated that there was nothing wrong with the box.

However, he found that after reaching into the box, the complexions of several people, especially the officials at Yushitai, changed instantly.

Although the change only took a moment to return to normal, but his intuition told him that there was something tricky in the decision!

perhaps......

The problem is here!

Chapter 197

King Ning reached into the lottery box and groped along the wall of the box, but still found nothing unusual, so he stretched out his hand a little and touched the wall above the box.

Finally... an inexplicable smile appeared on his face, and he took off a note pasted on it.

All the civil and military officials in front, including Minister of the Ministry of War and Yushi Zhongcheng, probably no one thought that Fang Xiu would stick this note on the upper wall of the box!

Also, such a hidden place, only someone as careful as myself can find it...

He looked down, and sure enough, he saw a number "one" written on the note.

Shady, this is obviously shady.

The person whose seat number is "One" is Fang Xiu's pre-determined candidate.

When the time comes to draw lots, as long as you take off this note, you can hide it from everyone's eyes, and let the person with the seat number "One" become one of the two lucky ones!

Although the lucky gift bag this time was organized by Fang Xiu himself, the pro-military review was sponsored by the Ministry of War and hosted by the court.

In front of His Majesty and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor to tamper with this!

King Ning held the note in his palm, a smug smile appeared on his face.

It's just... at the moment of turning around, a bright light suddenly flashed in my mind.

His seat number is "two", so the person with seat number "one" is right next to him.

next to myself...

King Ning raised his head and looked forward, just in line with Emperor Chu's gaze.

Seeing that figure clearly, his body trembled suddenly, as if struck by lightning, he stopped in place in a daze.

His legs began to feel a little weak, and he felt dizzy in just a moment, and there seemed to be a thick and indissoluble darkness sweeping in front of him.

When he found out that the seat number he took out represented his father, His Royal Highness King Ning instantly understood what was going on.

He also understood one thing at the same time...

Such an obvious thing, why didn't everyone in front, including the Minister of the Ministry of War and Yu Shi Zhongcheng, fail to discover it.

There is indeed a shady scene in this lottery draw, but the shady scene cannot be uncovered by him as a prince...

Fang Xiu looked at King Ning and subconsciously shook his head.

He didn't understand how people like Ning Wang survived until now and have not been completely eliminated by Kang Wang.

Although he really wanted to use this matter to get rid of King Ning, he settled a concern of his own.

But this pro-military review and lucky draw, after all, is hosted by me, if any accident happens in front of foreign envoys, civil and military officials, and the people of the capital, I will bear the blame...

So, when King Ning walked back to the VIP area in a daze, Fang Xiu gently pulled his arm.

"Your Highness..."

King Ning's mind went blank, he stopped in place, numbly looking at Fang Xiu standing in front of him.

For a moment, he only felt that all the scenes in front of him became blurred, and the voice in his ears seemed to come from somewhere, which was elusive.

Fang Xiu held King Ning's arm tightly, leaned over to his ear, and asked softly, "Is there any problem with this lottery box?"

King Ning came back to his senses, and said in a dry and hoarse voice: "No, no..."

Fang Xiu smiled and said, "Since there is no such thing, why don't you report it to His Majesty?"

Only then did King Ning come to his senses, stood up in a daze, bowed to Emperor Chu, and said, "Father, my son has already checked, this lottery box...is fine."

Chu Huang looked away from him and said, "Since there is no problem, let's start."

Hearing this, King Ning felt dizzy, staggered, and almost fell to the ground.

The person who drew the lottery couldn't find the note, the first lucky one drawn was not the father, so...

If there weren't so many civil and military officials checking the lottery box before, it would be fine, but after they finished checking the lottery box, they knew the inside story.

When it was time to draw the lottery, it was discovered that the inside story was not staged as scheduled.

So what would they think, what would they think of themselves who played in the end.

King Ning no longer dared to think about it.

"What's the matter, Your Highness, are you feeling unwell? I'll help you sit down."

Fang Xiu stood up, supported King Ning, sat down in his place, patted his hand cryptically, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "10 taels, this time the prize is for you to draw." .”

When King Ning heard this, his body trembled suddenly, his eyes became clear again, and he looked up at Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu looked at him with the same expression as usual, and said in a low voice, "Your time is running out, so think carefully about which is more important."

"Okay, 10 taels is 10 taels!"

There was hope in King Ning's eyes, and he couldn't wait to speak.

10 taels is not a small amount for anyone in this world, even if that person is one of the two princes who are most likely to inherit the country.

But......

If things go wrong today, no matter how many 10 taels he spends, it will be irreparable.

Which is more important, no need to think about it at all.

Fang Xiu got the answer he wanted, stood up, and said to the civil and military officials: "For the sake of fairness, next, I will choose one person from the audience, and draw the first lucky audience..."

His eyes looked around, and finally stopped on King Ning, and said with a smile: "The first lucky audience, why not let His Highness King Ning choose it."

King Ning heard this, as if he was worried that others would rob him, he hurriedly got up, walked forward quickly, and said: "In this case, this king will start..."

Before he finished speaking, he quickly put his hand into the lottery box.

It was also at this moment that he relaxed a lot and let out a long breath.

His hand stirred in the lottery box for a moment, then slowly took it out, and then spread out his palm, where there was a note.

"Number one."

King Ning looked at the note in his hand, with a look of doubt on his face, and asked, "Who is No. [-]?"

His eyes looked around the entire review field, and finally settled on the front of the VIP area.

At the same time, with a shocked expression on his face, he walked forward quickly, knelt down on the ground, and said loudly: "Congratulations to Father, congratulations to Father, Father has great blessings, he is the chosen one. …”

When King Ning said these words, Fang Xiu's eyes were on the faces of civil and military officials.

He found that the expressions of these civil and military officials hadn't changed much. It seemed that he had expected this result a long time ago.

On the contrary, the foreign envoys and King Kang were a little surprised.

It's just that King Kang's reaction was also extremely fast. While King Ning was speaking, he had already stood up and saluted Emperor Chu: "I congratulate my father."

At the same time, many civil and military officials had already stood up and walked in front of the Emperor Chu.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and even the heavens care about His Majesty."

Chapter 198 The Lucky Audience

The Emperor Chu looked at the civil and military officials kneeling on the ground, and there was an elusive light in his eyes.

He looked at Fang Xiu, with a smile on his face, and said casually: "It's a coincidence that so many people chose me..."

Fang Xiu looked at Emperor Chu with a solemn look on his face, and said seriously: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, a man of destiny, so he will naturally be favored by the heavens. This gift, I will send someone to the palace... ..”

Since the incident in Zhuxuanzhai last time, Fang Xiu has become more cautious in this regard.

No matter what time it is, the emperor is always the one with the best face, especially the emperor of Chu.

Now that this lucky gift package has been made, it is necessary to follow through with the beginning and end, and to select a lucky audience, of course we must not forget this narrow-minded emperor.

After congratulating everyone, they all returned to their original positions.

The chief assistant of the cabinet, Yan Zhuang, was sitting closest to Fang Xiu.

He looked at Fang Xiu with an expression of interest on his old face, and muttered to himself: "Your Majesty is the man of destiny, it is reasonable to be drawn, but I don't know, the next lucky audience will be who......"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone who had just sat down raised their heads.

The first lucky audience is His Majesty, there is no doubt about it, and the second lucky audience requires real luck.

3000 taels is nothing to everyone here, but it is also a good fortune.

In the vast sea of ​​people, only one person can be selected, just thinking about it is very interesting.

Hearing this, Fang Xiu smiled slightly, walked in front of the Emperor Chu, saluted, and said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and you are ordered by Heaven. Your Majesty's meaning is God's will...

Therefore, I boldly beseech Your Majesty to condescend and select today's second person..."

The civil and military officials present were startled when they heard this, and then looked at Fang Xiu with surprise in their eyes.

Who said that Fang Zhonglang will suffer from brain disease, even worse than ordinary children?

Look at this, can it be said by a mentally handicapped patient?

"In that case..."

When Emperor Chu heard this, a smile appeared on his face, he stood up from the dragon chair, and said, "I will also join in the excitement."

Under the personal guard of the Jinwu Guard, he walked to the middle of the reviewing field, randomly took out one from the lottery box, and read: "670 one."

The number on the slip is the seat number...

The larger the seat number, the farther it is from the center.

This 670-one has obviously exceeded the position of the VIP area, and the ordinary people in the ordinary area are all ordinary people of the capital.

As soon as Emperor Chu finished speaking, a Jinwu guard walked out quickly, and brought one 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 a good spirit.

When he was brought here by Jin Wuwei, he was still in a daze.

Of course, in future generations, if someone suddenly wins the lottery, his performance will not be much better than him.

"Grass, grass ginseng...See Your Majesty..."

For an ordinary person, he may never have the chance to see His Majesty the Emperor in his whole life.

What's more, under the eyes of nearly ten thousand people, this lucky audience knelt on the ground, trembling, unable to speak.

At the same time, seeing that the second lucky audience who was drawn was really just an ordinary person, the reviewing field, which was already extremely quiet, became noisy again.

"670 one, 670 one... I'm 670 two, just a little short, the 3000 taels are mine!"

"Isn't this the old Wang next door? He was beaten up two days ago because he didn't know what happened. How did he become a lucky audience?"

............

With the end of the lottery, the pro-military review officially ended.

The competition with the grassland will have to wait until three days later. At that time, there are not so many foreign envoys. Even if they lose, it is no big deal.

Although it sounds a bit rascal, but for Chu State, this is the best solution...

The Emperor of Chu drove back to the palace, and the foreign envoys, civil and military officials also left the stage.

Only King Ning sat there alone, his face was pale, and he looked like he was still in fear.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu stepped forward and whispered, "Your Highness, don't forget..."

King Ning raised his eyes, glanced at him, squeezed out a smile, wanted to say something, but couldn't open his mouth.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu shook his head and walked out of the reviewing field without saying anything.
