"Hey, what do you know? This is called publicity!" The owner of the embroidery shop said cheerfully: "Madam, thank you very much for today."

Duoduo said: "You're welcome, just next time. Next time I will bring a lot of sisters to embroider for you, I'm afraid you are not enough embroiderers."

The boss said happily: "Haha, madam, please don't worry, we will definitely satisfy you."

"Well, that's good. See you later, Jin Lian, let's go."

After the master and servant returned to the carriage with their children, Jin Lian asked with a puzzled look: "Sister, why did you help the owner of the embroidery shop just now?"

Duoduo didn't know what to say to her, so he had to say: "No reason, I just suddenly wanted to help him, so I helped him. It doesn't cost much energy anyway, let alone our money. It's a little effort, and sometimes it can be intentional."

Unexpected gains.”

Duoduo had just returned to Zizhuyuan when he saw Eunuch Li walking over with his waist hunched over and saying, "Concubine Qian, your Majesty has invited you."

"What's up?"

"Your Majesty, it's about establishing a crown prince."

Duoduo said: "The emperor wants to establish a prince, what does this have to do with me? I won't go."

"Your Majesty, your Majesty invited Master Puguang back to the palace today in order to get some advice from him. Your Majesty felt that Master Puguang was a divine monk and it was difficult to have a chance to meet him, so he sent a servant to ask your Majesty to come over and meet him."

"Oh?" Duoduo heard that there was a master here, but that was different. He was afraid that the emperor wanted to be alone with her again and take advantage of her.

The eunuch asked a question: "Your Majesty, the emperor's order cannot be violated. The emperor is waiting in the imperial garden."

Duoduo could only say: "I understand, I will be here soon."

In a pavilion on the water in the Imperial Garden, Duoduo met the emperor and the so-called Master Puguang, an old monk who was tall but kind-hearted.

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."

"Well, hahahaha, my beloved concubine, let me introduce you to me. This is our eminent monk in the Southern Dynasty, Master Puguang."

"I've met the master." Duoduo saluted.

"Oh, empress, you can't do this, it's a sin, it's a sin..." Master Puguang quickly returned the gift and said: "My empress is naturally beautiful, well-dressed and well-educated. You are the emperor's blessing."

"Hahahaha... The master is really wise. Qian Aifei is not only upright and generous, but also has extraordinary skills. She saved my life."

"Oh?" Master Puguang's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Amitabha, this poor monk is blind."

Nangong Ming also smiled and said: "Master, you don't have to be polite, you don't have to be polite!"

At this time, a group of officials hurriedly walked into the imperial garden. Behind them were two princes, the Nangong Jie brothers.

Duoduo didn't expect that they separated and met again so soon.

"My ministers, please see the emperor and see Master Puguang."

Those officials seemed to be no strangers to Puguang at all. It seemed that Monk Puguang was very popular in the palace, and they nodded in return.

"My son, please see my father!" The two brothers knelt down and saluted at the same time.

"Pingshen, you two are here at the right time. The matter of establishing a prince has been bothering me for a long time. Master Puguang is an accomplished monk. Today I would like to ask the master to show you and give you some advice."

Pu Guang hurriedly said: "Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously. The two princes have great ambitions and extraordinary arrogance. How can a poor monk give casual advice? Besides, this is the first time for a poor monk to meet the two princes. Many things are unknown.

It’s really hard to speak.”

Nangong Ming said: "Master, you are too humble. Master has read countless people and knows how to predict the stars. Why not do the calculations for them?"

"Your Majesty, there is a law of freedom in the affairs of the world. There are some things that the poor monk can calculate to 70-80%. But now the two princes are standing in front of the poor monk, making the poor monk feel uneasy. It must be the influence of the princes' spiritual roots.

Therefore, poor monk, you really cannot do divination for the two princes, otherwise you will definitely attract someone who will kill you."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Nangong Ming said: "Then, what is your advice, master?"

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, it is better to ask the ministers what they think. They are responsible for many things, and they also work with the two princes, so you can see them all the time. Let them vote, which is the best way."

Voting? That means more people bully less people!

Duoduo was secretly worried. He usually asked that stupid man to deal with the ministers more, but he just didn't listen. Now it's better. When you need to find someone, will the ghost pay attention to you?

Sure enough, Duoduo found that Nangong Ao's eyes were slyly turning towards the ministers, and the ministers nodded slightly, as if they were agreeing to something.

Seeing that Master Puguang said this, Nangong Ming had no choice but to say: "Since Master also said so, let's do it."

"Your Majesty!" Duoduo suddenly said: "Your Majesty, how can the matter of choosing a prince be a child's play?"

Anger suddenly appeared on Nangong Ao's face, and he suppressed his anger and said: "Concubine Qian, what do you mean by this? Let's not say that the harem cannot participate in government affairs. What you said is clearly insulting Master Puguang's wisdom. This is not true.

Isn’t that great?”

Nangong Ming also said: "Yes, my dear, what Master Puguang said is absolutely true. The ministers will vote by a show of hands. This is what everyone expects. What's wrong with that?"

Duoduo knew that Nangong Ao was looking at her with cannibalistic eyes, but she didn't look at him at all, but said calmly: "No, the emperor is the emperor of all people in the world, and the prince is also the one of all people in the world.

The prince will ascend to the throne of God in the future and benefit all people. Therefore, if there is to be a vote, all people must vote together. At least the people in the capital must vote together. The position of prince will be won by the person with the highest vote. This is what everyone expects.

.”

Master Puguang's eyes shone brightly and said: "Well said, well said. It is the original intention of the poor monk to be welcomed by the public. But I didn't expect that Concubine Qian's mind is so broad. The poor monk feels inferior. Your Majesty, the poor monk thinks,

Your Majesty’s words are very reasonable. If all the people can choose their favorite prince, when the prince ascends the throne in the future, he will be supported by all."

"Thank you for the compliment, Master." Duoduo thought to himself: Damn, I'm not broad-minded. I don't want Nangong Ao to take advantage of him.

Presumably these officials, Nangong Ao, have long been bribed with huge sums of money, and they will definitely choose him as the prince. If the people in the capital choose him instead, he will not be so easy to manipulate in secret. Do you give money to every household and ask them to choose?

You can't?

"Well... what the master said makes sense." Nangong Ming thought for a while and said: "It's just that the people in the capital elect them. There are so many people. How to count the people? Although this is the best policy, I'm afraid it won't be a strange thing if it is implemented.

ah."

"Your Majesty, I have an idea."

Nangong Ao rolled his eyes at Duoduo. Why does this damn woman who he loves and hates always come to mess up his situation at critical moments? It is obvious that she is helping Nangong Jie!

This woman is really hateful. If it weren't for her, with Nangong Jie's little ability as a cat and a dog, it would be impossible to defeat the heroes in the competition arena.

Today, seeing that he, Nangong Ao, had a chance to firmly sit on the throne of the prince, he ran out to disrupt the situation and win the opportunity for Nangong Jie!

Duoduo finally looked at Nangong Ao and found that he was full of anger, so he smiled slightly. This should make him half angry to death, right?

At this time, Nangong Ming said: "Qian Aifei, I wonder if you have any clever ideas?"

"Your Majesty, we can implement layer-by-layer statistical methods to conduct voting. First divide the capital into fifty small blocks, and arrange for a guard to go to each small block to count, and then collect the data together, so that there will be no

There is a phenomenon of double voting.”

Nangong Ming greatly appreciated it and said: "Well, it makes sense, it makes sense, hahahaha, my dear concubine, you are really my virtuous wife."

Many ministers also whispered to each other:

"Yes, this method is good, I think it will work."

"Well, this woman can think of a way. She has never done anything like this before. I just don't know if it is in compliance with the rules."

"Let's not worry about so much. Whether it is in compliance with the rules or not, that is the emperor's final decision. As long as the emperor thinks it is okay, then it is in compliance with the rules."

"Haha, I don't know where this woman came from. Why does she always have so many strange ideas? Not only does she have great eyes, but her thoughts are also different."

The minister said that his eyes were very powerful, probably because he was talking about the last time he saw at Zhaoyang Palace that the deceased emperor's spiritual tablet was a fake... Duoduo couldn't help but feel a little carried away when she heard the ministers whispering about herself.

Nangong Ming said: "Okay, if that's the case, let's do it this way. Come and tell me what I want -"

"Wait!" Duoduo interrupted the emperor's decree and said: "Your Majesty, the election does not happen overnight. We must post the imperial list a few days in advance so that the people have time to think about the choice. Otherwise, it will take too long.

If there is too much urgency, the results obtained will deviate from public opinion."

When Master Puguang heard this, he couldn't help but applaud. Everyone felt that what he said was very reasonable and thoughtful. What was even more rare was that it came from a young woman.

In fact, how do they know that these things are an ordinary election model in modern society, but in their dynasty, they were already rare.

Nangong Ming was overjoyed: "It's rare for my beloved concubine to have such insight. This matter has been settled. Come on!"

The eunuch whispered: "I'm here, your Majesty, please give me your instructions."

"Did you hear what Concubine Qian said just now?"

"Go back to the emperor, I understand."

"Well, then just do what Concubine Qian said and pass the message on to me."

"It's your Majesty, I'll take care of it now."

"Two princes."

"Here, father."

"You all should go back and get ready. In five days, I will establish the position of the prince based on the people's election. The prince will move into the palace and live in the palace. The loser will be named the King of Northern Xinjiang and go to Northern Xinjiang to guard the border.

, this matter has been settled, and I will not tolerate your dissatisfaction, so please retreat."

"Yes, Father."

"My beloved concubine, you and all your beloved ministers should also step aside. I still have many issues to ask Master Puguang for advice. Tomorrow morning, the Prime Minister will preside over the meeting on my behalf and handle all matters."

The Prime Minister took a step forward, bowed and said: "My lord, I obey the order. I will take my leave."

Duoduo was eager to leave quickly. The emperor kept calling out to his beloved concubines, which made her whole body tremble. Nangong Jie must have felt uncomfortable hearing this.
