Chapter 818: The crown prince is established, draw lots

If Xiao Yu said something else, he could use the great principles to refute it. All the ministers in the palace had different abilities in doing things, both big and small, and they were uneven. But when it came to the great principles, no one was afraid of anyone. But Xiao Yu used the Emperor of the Great Emperor and the Last Emperor of this dynasty as the reason, so no one could do anything about it!

Chu Suiliang was very dissatisfied with Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu was in his seventies. Whether he was relying on his seniority or not at all, he was not afraid of anything at all. From any aspect, he was not a key figure. As long as he followed his words, Old Xiao would not really do anything. He gave him a step and followed the flow and was done.

But Changsun Wuji wanted to stare at him, and Fang Xuanling, who had always been silent, jumped out and argued... Let's just quarrel, this time the trouble happened, this is called disaster coming from the mouth, quarrel with the quarrel king, how difficult it would be to win if he wanted to win! Now that he lost, the matter of establishing the prince was suddenly stranded!

Wang Ping'an also shook his head repeatedly. In real history, when Li Zhi was appointed as the prince, Xiao Yu had already passed away. The dead people naturally would not object to him. But now Xiao Yu lives quite vigorously. The two prime ministers went out to quarrel with him, but they had never quarreled with him. He couldn't lose him anymore!

Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling looked at each other and were stunned. No one could do anything, and they felt helpless. No matter how hard they could quarrel, they could not say that the current emperor is better than Emperor Gaozu and the late emperor, and they cannot say this!

Li Zhi's face was also ugly. The matter was dragged into a deadlock, so he was naturally very unhappy. It was really annoying that he could not compare with him, and he had to compare his grandfather and father. But he couldn't refute what was even more annoying.

Xiao Yu was proud and reached out to touch his beard. Looking at the embarrassing expression of the first palace, he felt as comfortable as he would be. He had given four emperors in his life, which was unprecedented. Now he finally broke the record he kept and embarrassed the fifth emperor. He never lived in vain in his life. He was the best in the world. How cool? It's so cool!

Li Zhida was helpless. He stuttered: "Then, then, that's the matter... Wuyan, you talk!" In a hurry, the rumor came out. When he was anxious, he called Wuyan. Now the dynasty also called him!

The ministers turned their heads together and looked at Wang Ping'an. Xiao Yu was energetic and thought to himself: "Okay, I had known that Wang Ping'an was smart, and today I could finally have a fight with him. Let's see who can reason better!"

Wang Ping'an's scalp was numb. Why did you quarrel? Why did you get me involved? But when the emperor asked for help, he could no longer pretend to be sour, so he had to go out again, clear his throat, and said, "Your Majesty, I think Mr. Xiao is very serious. The emperor should not make any decision on the establishment of a prince!"

Xiao Yu said proudly: "Yes, that's right. Not only can the emperor not take his own initiative, but the ministers should not follow the word and follow the country. They should focus on the overall situation and think about it from the overall situation!"

He was very happy. Changsun Wuji and the others couldn't argue with him. The new recruit Wang Ping'an actually had a very poor prospect and took the initiative to surrender, which really made him feel good again!

There are people in this world who love beauty, some who love money, some who love power, and some who like to play soy sauce, but Xiao Yu doesn't like these. He likes to quarrel, and he also likes to see his opponent's awkward expression after losing. The more embarrassed the opponent is, the more he feels happy!

However, those who know Wang Ping'an immediately felt relieved when they heard Wang Ping'an agree with Xiao Yu's words. As long as Wang Ping'an agrees with the first sentence, then the next sentence must be opposed!

Sure enough, Wang Ping'an paused for a moment and said, "The establishment of the prince is a major national event. According to Mr. Xiao's words, we should respect the meaning of Emperor Gaozu and the late emperor. Is this correct understanding?"

He deliberately misinterpreted that Xiao Yu's words meant to respect "Emperor Gaozu and the late emperor" rather than "Respect the meaning of Emperor Gaozu and the late emperor". The three words "meaning" sounded similar, but the meaning was very different!

Xiao Yu was very good at quarrels and was best at catching people's problems, but Wang Ping'an spoken words in Xuzhou. He listened to it with difficulty and was a little stunned. He did not refute it in time, but just nodded.

Seeing him nodding, Wang Ping'an immediately said, "Mr. Xiao really means this, that's great. Emperor, why don't we follow Mr. Xiao's intentions and prepare several test questions, invite all the princes to Taimiao, and let them answer the test questions in front of the spiritual throne of Emperor Gaozu and the late emperor. Whoever answers correctly will set up anyone. Isn't this the meaning of respecting Emperor Gaozu and the late emperor!"

There are serious grammatical diseases and causal confusion in Wang Ping'an's words, which are absolutely mixed! But his words cannot be refuted because they contain the concept of God's will. Isn't God's will just say it based on the mouth of a mortal!

The ministers in the hall all laughed at the ground, Changsun Wuji laughed loudly, and even Li Zhi was happy. This time, okay, Xiao Lao, don’t you mean that, then follow your wishes!

All the people in the palace laughed, but only Xiao Yu didn't. He blinked his eyes and thought to himself: "Wang Ping'an's words are wrong, but what's wrong?"

Xiao Yu said oh, "Your words are wrong! Didn't I just say that some princes are too young to take exams on them. How can you do the test according to what you said?"

Other ministers smiled and said nothing, but Shi Zhongchen, who was behind Li Zhi, shook his head and thought to himself: "Xiao Yu is old and confused. He was fooled. The topic was distracted by Wang Ping'an. Now it has become how to take the crown prince, rather than whether he should be appointed. Wang Ping'an's little slut, can confuse right and wrong, and the extreme evil!"

Wang Ping'an pretended to think about it and nodded, "Mr. Xiao said this is too right. It seems that I am not thinking carefully enough! Then why not do this? Make a few paper signs, which say, "Stand or not, put them in a box, and let the princes draw lots. Whoever draws Lexing will be the crown prince. What about this? According to the emperor, this move is better called gold box checking."

Xiao Yu was stunned. He was really ambitious and was not about being old. The quarrel was not about spitting out. Although he had rich experience in quarrel, he was caught this time and was encircled by Wang Ping'an!

Xiao Yu tightly grabbed his beard and said, "The crown prince depends on drawing lots? This is unprecedented and unheard of. How can this be done?"

Wang Ping'an said in surprise: "Why can't this be possible? Isn't this the method formulated according to your intentions by Mr. Xiao? This is what you mean!"

"I mean, I just... that's not what I mean!" Xiao Yu was about to regroup and wanted to have a good debate with Wang Ping'an, but others quit.

When Fang Xuanling saw that Wang Ping'an had the upper hand, he immediately took the blame. He stood up and said, "Mr. Xiao, this is the court, you should not go back on your word! The idea that Wang Xiang came up with was obviously based on your wishes. If you raise any objections, it would be that the king had lost his etiquette and regarded the great matter of establishing a crown prince as a joke!"

Fang Xuanling buckled the big hat, and Changsun Wuji and the others immediately agreed, accusing Xiao Yu of being too unauthentic, how could he do this? He is too ungenius, he is a villain!

Xiao Yu was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick, and he was speechless. He couldn't say anything. He quarreled in his life, and for the first time he was so embarrassed. He has always embarrassed others. This was the first time he was his turn!

Li Zhi slapped the Long Shu case and said, "Well, let's do it according to the method Wuyan mentioned. Who will be appointed as the crown prince will be decided by Emperor Gaozu and the late emperor. We mortals, no need to discuss it anymore!"

What he said was that my intention had been decided and there was no need to discuss it again. When the ministers heard this, no matter how dissatisfied, they could not speak it out, so they had to shout loudly together and obey the order.

There are a few things to be discussed at this court meeting, but the matter of appointing the prince was too serious, so the other things could only be slowed down. Li Zhi made a decision, stood up, shook his sleeves, and did not take away any objections. He retreated to the court with him, went to find Wu Meiniang, and continued to study the past and present life of the Buddha Huanxiu.

This time Changsun Wuji became proud. He pulled Wang Ping'an in front of Xiao Yu and shouted: "Wujian, good boy, let's go to your Dongtai now and discuss how to check the gold box. This is a big deal, so you must not be careless."

He pretended to see Xiao Yu and said in surprise: "Hey, Mr. Xiao, you haven't left yet? Just in time, let's go to Dongtai together. This idea was made by you. You have to give more suggestions. We all do what you want!"

Xiao Yu lost the quarrel, and was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick. He didn't say a word, and then left without saying a word.

Changsun Wuji shouted from behind: "Mr. Xiao, what's wrong with you? Are you angry? Oh, look at this person, why are you still angry!"

Fang Xuanling also shouted loudly: "Mr. Xiao, be a little narrow-minded! Why is the dignified Duke so ungraceful? He is still angry!"

The ministers of the Changsun faction said one after another: "I only realized today that Mr. Xiao was actually an angry guy. He was so stingy, a stingy guy!"

Changsun Wuji pulled Wang Ping'an out of the Ganlu Palace and asked, "Wujian, how should I draw the lottery? What if another prince draws it to 'Li'?"

Wang Ping'an whispered: "This is impossible. Lord Changsun personally checked those signs, and went through the motions. When you want to draw, you will let anyone draw first. Isn't that enough? Make sure you draw one by one!"

Changsun Wuji uttered and said, "This...is unlikely. How could I win the draw with just one draw? Could it be that I can still put the signature with the word "stand" into the hands of the eldest son?"

Wang Ping'an said excitedly, "No need, just write the word "Lian" on the sign. If the eldest son draws first and draws out the word "Lian", the prince behind him will not need to draw!"

The cheating method he mentioned is commonly used in modern times, but it was the first time in the Tang Dynasty. No minister has ever encountered such a lottery draw before, so naturally he could not imagine such a method!
