Chapter 470 of the main volume of Ruyi Little Man: A good person? Tangning originally thought that Xiao Jue and him had a good understanding, but she didn't expect that such a simple hint would be misinterpreted by him.
A single draw costs one hundred thousand taels. Isn’t this extortion?
As an official of the imperial court, what kind of behavior would it be to secretly blackmail a prince?
Xiao Jue asked: "What do you think of fifty-fifty?"
Tang Ning said: "Deal."
He thought for a while, looked at Xiao Jue and said, "Aren't you worried that he will regret it?"
Xiao Jue shook his head and said, "No."
Since Xiao Jue was so sure, Tang Ning stopped asking.
In fact, even he himself did not expect that there would be an unexpected gain in this lottery, because Chen Huang lost 10,000 taels of silver, but also because Chen Huang received 50,000 taels. Things in the world are blessings or disasters, sacrifices or sacrifices.
Yes, it’s really hard to explain.
The finals of the Sixteenth Guards Competition, who wins and who loses, also affects the interests of many people in the capital.
As soon as the game ended, countless news spread in all directions.
Although Zuo Xiaowei's victory was incredible to many people, it was not as shocking as the first time they defeated Zuo Yuwei.
As the only team that maintained a complete victory in this competition, many people bet their money on them in the last game. Although it was not a huge profit, it was still a small profit.
One stroke.
At the same time, the identities of the two "koi" drawn by the Tang Dynasty were also spread out immediately, attracting countless people's discussion.
"Oh my god, it's Lao Wang from Dongxiang. This guy is really lucky. He lost money in gambling a while ago and was cheated by his creditor. He actually became rich all of a sudden..."
"The great gifts from the Tang Dynasty are actually real. I thought they were just for show, and they would eventually give them to the dignitaries..."
"The other one is for Your Majesty, isn't it? No wonder they added another big gift later. Anyone with a discerning eye will know what this is about..."
"I heard that your Majesty's share was taken out by the Crown Prince of Dian. Maybe he was the one who caused trouble and wanted to please Your Majesty?"
"If he hadn't caused trouble, maybe I would have had a chance!"
…
There was a lot of discussion about the Great Competition of the Sixteenth Guards, but there was even more discussion among the people about the ownership of the two great gifts.
I don’t know why, but when the details of the lottery were announced, the Prince of Dian immediately received a lot of scoldings. Two out of three thousand people were chosen, but the current majesty was still drawn. Everyone knew it even if they didn’t use their brains.
Someone must have tampered with this.
Obviously, the person with the greatest suspicion is the Prince of Dian, who personally took action.
On the streets of the capital, a young man in a Confucian shirt stopped a passing citizen and asked, "What do you think of this Sixteenth Guards Competition and the Chosen One?"
"What's your opinion? What's your opinion..." The man rolled his eyes at him and said, "The Cavalry Guards are so weak that they can win. This shows how degenerate the Sixteenth Guards of the Forbidden Army have become. The chosen one was not determined in advance.
Just trick those fools..."
The young man in Confucian shirt was stunned, not knowing what to say for a moment.
After the man finished answering, he was about to leave when he suddenly stopped. He looked at the young man in scholar's shirt, then at the pen and paper in his hand, and asked, "Are you a reporter from Tangrenzhai?"
He looked at a mark on the chest of the young man in Confucian robes. After being stunned for a moment, he coughed lightly and said, "What did you just say about the Sixteenth Guards Competition and the Chosen One..."
He cleared his throat and said seriously: "Zuo Xiaowei was ranked at the bottom of the Sixteenth Guards last year, but this year they won the championship in one fell swoop. It can be seen that they have put in great efforts during this year, and this is worthy of all bans."
Wei learned from it; as the emperor, His Majesty is favored by God, and it is a matter of course that he can become the chosen one. I believe that under the governance of the emperor today, I, Da Chen, will definitely become more prosperous and stronger..."
…
Prince Dian's Mansion.
The Prince of Dian was sitting in his seat, holding the armrest tightly with one hand and looking uncertain.
Not only did he lose a hundred thousand taels of silver this time, but he also suffered a reputation for no reason. It can be said that he lost his wife and lost his army.
He calculated that there would be a shady plot in this lottery, but he did not calculate that the biggest shady plot was His Majesty, which almost caused a catastrophe.
He hated Xiao Jue, hated him for not warning him in advance, hated him for taking the opportunity to knock him out of a hundred thousand taels of silver, but he hated himself even more.
If he hadn't insisted on embarrassing Tangning, what happened today wouldn't have happened.
But Tang Ning robbed Su Mei and made him lose money. She couldn't let go of this, and she couldn't let go.
But for what happened today, you really can't blame others, you can only blame yourself, which made Prince Dian's chest feel like it was about to explode.
After taking a few deep breaths, he gritted his teeth and said, "Here comes someone!"
Someone quickly ran in from the door and asked, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
The Crown Prince of Dian looked gloomy, as if his heart was bleeding, and said, "Send one hundred thousand taels of silver to the Xiao Mansion."
He had to give away the one hundred thousand taels of silver because he had to accept Xiao Jue's affection. In their circle, favor was much more important than money.
…
Ministry of Rites.
The Minister, the Minister, and the four ministers all went to the Xiaoqi camp to watch the competition. The officials in the Ministry of Rites were much more relaxed than usual.
"Have you heard that Zuo Xiaowei won? I bet ten taels of silver on them!"
"Damn Zuo Yuwei, he's still the emperor's personal guard. This time I lost miserably!"
"Go back to your offices quickly, Lord Shangshu is back!"
After hearing that the minister and other ministers had returned to the yamen, everyone immediately returned to their yamen and pretended to be serious about their work.
Before Tang Huai walked into his yamen, he paused for a moment, looked back at Liu Feng and said, "Secretary Zhang resigned and retired. This time there is a vacancy in the position of Minister. I have asked His Highness Prince Duan to help you.
After reporting your name, you should also be careful."
Liu Feng immediately said: "The official knows."
The Minister of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites are the most powerful among the six Ministers. Naturally, there are countless people competing for it. If he can win it, he will immediately have a lot of resources in his hands. Liu Feng has enough qualifications, and the only difference is an opportunity.
Tang Huai walked into the Yamen. The doctor from the driving department bowed his hands to Liu Feng and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Liu."
Liu Feng waved his hand and said, "Congratulations are still too early."
The doctor from the driving department said: "Since His Royal Highness Duan Wang is willing to help, as long as nothing goes wrong, the matter will be settled..."
Liu Feng greeted a few people with a few polite words and then walked away.
The doctor from the temple looked at his leaving figure, sighed, and shook his head slightly.
The doctor in the driving department looked at him and asked, "Mr. Liu, what's wrong? Why are you sighing?"
The doctor at the temple said: "Just now in front of His Majesty, Mr. Liu almost caused Tang Ning to suffer a hidden loss..."
The doctor in the driving department nodded and said: "If he hadn't been astute and moved His Majesty out at the critical moment, today's matter would have been difficult... Mr. Liu also feels it's a pity that he saved the day from danger, right?"
"No." The doctor from the ancestral temple shook his head and said, "I feel sorry for Mr. Liu."
"Master Liu?" The other three doctors looked at him and asked, "What's wrong with Master Liu?"
The doctor from the temple sighed and said, "The three of us had not offended Tang Ning back then, and even though we were tortured by him to a dehumanizing level, Liu Shilang embarrassed him in front of so many people. Do you think he would let Liu Shilang go so easily?
?"
…
Tang Ning sat in the study and threw the stack of banknotes handed over by Xiao Jue into the drawer.
He originally thought that the appointment of Emperor Chen would affect the credibility of the Tang people in Beijing, but unexpectedly, a Dian prince suddenly showed up on the way, and not only gave him 50,000 taels of silver for no reason, but also took the blame for them.
There are now widespread rumors in the capital that the reason why His Majesty was selected was because the Crown Prince of Dian was secretly operating and wanted to flatter the Emperor...
Xiao Jue put another stack of banknotes into his arms and said, "His Royal Highness is such a good person."
Tang Ning deeply agreed with this. His Royal Highness is a good person, but some people are not.
