According to Liu Wei's request, there are about 40 officials in the entire Jinling City who are qualified to vote, including Sanpin, who are eligible to vote.
Liu Wei knew that there was a huge Jiangdong clan standing behind Wu Ruyi, and there were not a few officials in the nine ministries or states, if the conditions were relaxed to more than five grades, even if he had his own support, it was not necessarily possible for Zhen Mi to win, so Liu Wei stuck the qualification line on the "from the third grade" upward.
Although there are many officials in Jiangdong, there are few who really go from the third grade upward, which will greatly weaken the support of the Jiangdong Shi clan for Wu Ruyi.
Moreover, Liu Bian's choice of the queen is unprecedented, and it cannot be said to be absolutely fair, for example, Liu Biao is very reckless in stipulating one vote to five votes for himself and his wife.
But compared to the emperor who is dictatorial and arbitrary, and the emperor who decided the choice of the queen in one sentence is many times more enlightened, at least Wu Ruyi and Zhen Mi have a chance, and who wins and who loses depends on his connections and prestige.
As for the feudal officials and legion commanders in various places, Liu Weisi still decided not to let them participate after thinking about it.
The assassins of each state are all officials who are released from the outside, and no matter how high the level is, they should not participate in the decision-making level of the central government, otherwise they will have to seek the opinions of local officials when they are established, and where is the majesty of the imperial court As for the commanders of the various legions, they are currently facing tremendous pressure, and the big war is imminent, and they cannot be distracted.
Therefore, after Liu Wei's personal review, there were a total of 42 ministers who were eligible to vote, and there were 15 harem concubines, including Wu Ruyi and Zhen Mi.
In addition, Liu Wei and Empress Dowager He each had five votes, and the total number of votes was sixty-seven votes, so that no matter what, the high and low would be divided.
The next morning, when Liu Wei announced the voting candidates and rules, Prime Minister Xun Yu immediately stood up and made a suggestion: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that you should vote anonymously, so that your colleagues can have no worries. ” Liu Wei actually wanted to take this opportunity to find out how many people in the court supported Wu Ruyi, but Liu Wei also knew that if he voted with his real name, these officials would definitely take into account his attitude as the emperor, so he was forced to choose Wu Ruyi.
After all, he is about to publicly express his support for Zhen Mi as the queen now, and these court officials cannot all be as upright as Wei Zheng, and they will definitely learn from Wei Zheng's lessons in the face of personal interests and be forced to change their original intentions.
Although this can greatly increase Zhen Mi's chances of winning the queen's throne, it will also greatly reduce the fairness of this vote, which is not conducive to Liu Wei establishing his selfless image.
And it also made Liu Wei unable to touch the attitude of these courtiers, how many people supported Wu Ruyi, and how many obeyed his orders "What Xun Qing said is very true, I will grant what you invite" Liu Wei agreed to Xun Yu's request without thinking, "Tomorrow is the New Year, the courtiers will have a three-day holiday, go home for reunion, and three years later, all the ministers will gather in the Taiji Hall to vote for the queen, and the winner will choose a day to hold a post-establishment ceremony." ” "Long live my emperor, long live, long live" The civil and military officials shouted long live, bowed and thanked them together.
After the emperor withdrew from the Taiji Hall through the back door, they dispersed and went home to prepare for the New Year.
For three days, the eunuchs and palace maids were not talking about how to celebrate the New Year, but who was more likely to ascend to the queen's throne and take charge of the six palaces "I think Concubine De Niangniang has a better chance of winning, after all, all the adults in the court are upright, just like Wei Zheng Yushi, they all try their best to admonish in front of His Majesty.
If it is a real-name vote, maybe Zhen Zhaoyuan still has a three-point chance of winning, since the anonymous vote, I think your hearts will definitely support the more qualified Concubine De Niangniang" "Yes, yes, among the adults who are qualified to vote, it is said that about ten people are from Jiangdong native, or have been supported by Lu Situ, if they vote anonymously, these votes will definitely fall on Concubine De's mother."
"Not necessarily, Zhen Zhaoyuan now has the support of His Majesty, one vote is worth five votes, plus the birth of a pair of dragons, and the auspicious omen of the twin stars and the sky, Shun Tian responds to the order, it is really difficult to know who killed the deer" "The Queen Mother also has five votes in her hand, and the key depends on who the Queen Mother supports.
If the Queen Mother supports Concubine De, then Zhen Zhaoyuan will undoubtedly lose, and if the Queen Mother supports Zhen Zhaoyuan, the winning rate of the two will be fifty-five" The palace ladies talked a lot, and the eunuchs also joined in the fun, and some people even opened bets in private, betting on Wu Ruyi and Zhen Mi who can ascend to the queen's throne, Concubine Wude's odds are one to two, and Zhen Mi's odds are one to three.
Liu Wei turned a deaf ear to these gossips and let them discuss them in private.
And the concubines behaved very calmly one by one, especially the parties Wu Ruyi and Zhaoyuan Zhen Mi, who still looked unwavering, as if the matter had nothing to do with them.
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Liu Wei summoned fourteen concubines in the harem, as well as twelve sons and eight daughters, to gather in the Lin De Hall for a grand family gathering.
As the emperor's mother-in-law, Empress Dowager He will naturally attend in full costume.
The Linde Hall is decorated with a new look, the beautiful palace ladies sing and dance, and the musicians pluck the piano and play the strings, creating a joyful atmosphere.
Changing into a dragon robe sewn by Xue Lingyun herself, Liu Wei looked even more radiant, and a thick beard under his chin looked even more domineering.
Sit upright on the middle feast and wait for the concubines to arrive one after another.
The first to arrive was Concubine De Wu Ruyi, who brought her seven-year-old son Liu Zhi, King of Bohai, and her four-year-old son Liu Yuan, King Chen, to the feast.
When he saw that the Son of Heaven had been waiting for a long time, he couldn't help but change his face slightly, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects: "I didn't expect Your Majesty to arrive early, but the concubines want to make Your Majesty wait for a long time, which is really an unforgivable sin."
Liu Wei laughed heartily: "Haha, Concubine Ai's words are serious, and she has always asked you to wait for me."
Today is the New Year, I have given myself a holiday, so let me wait for you."
"Don't hurry up and pay homage to my father," Wu Ruyi hurriedly pushed his two sons and admonished.
Liu Zhi's body was relatively weak, and he coughed a few times and stepped forward to salute: "The child greets his father."
Four-year-old Chen Wang Liu Yuan also followed Shi Li: "The child visits his father" Liu Wei kindly stroked the heads of his two sons, and told Wu Ruyi: "Zhi'er's body looks a little weak, it's okay to summon Zhang Zhongjing, Sun Simiao and a few of them into the palace to show Zhi'er." ” "The concubine obeys the order" Wu Ruyi smiled like a flower, and solemnly agreed.
The night before, Liu Wei had already stayed overnight in Wu Ruyi's Jingning Palace, everything that should be said was said, and everything that should be done was done, and there was no need to say more at this moment, and ordered: "Concubine Ai, take a seat, and after the others arrive, we will have a banquet and have a reunion dinner." ” "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wu Ruyi agreed, and under the leadership of Zheng He, he sat on the first table in Liu Wei's left hand, and the two sons sat on the left and right.
Wu Ruyi arrived immediately after the arrival of Zhaoyi Foot Trainer, bringing the seven-year-old Chengyang Princess Liu Tao and Qinghe Princess Liu Xuan to the banquet, which is also a pair of twin sisters, and the difference between the children born to Zhen Mi is that the gender is different, so it also makes the fate of the foot trainer and Zhen Mi completely different.
After the mother and daughter of the foot trainer paid tribute, they sat down according to their identities under the guidance of Zheng He, and then came Jieyu Diao Chan, with her seven-year-old daughter Liu Yifei, the princess of Wuyang, and her four-year-old son Liu Lie, the king of Wuling, who came to the feast and sat down after the same visit.
After Diao Chan, the beauties Xue Lingyun and Xiuyi Zhang Chuchen arrived, Xue Lingyun brought her four-year-old daughter Liu Xi, Princess Pingyang, and Zhang Chuchen arrived with her two-year-old son Nanyang Net Liu Deng. still visited the emperor first, and then sat down according to his identity under the guidance of Zheng He.
The sixth arrived was Zhaorong Chen Yuanyuan, accompanied by his four-year-old daughter Liu Ke, the princess of Jincheng; and the adopted son of the Tang Dynasty, King Lu Liu Nian, who was four years old after the New Year, the same age as Liu Ke.
"The concubine greets Your Majesty" Chen Yuanyuan smiled like a flower, bowed solemnly, and ordered Liu Nian after getting up, "Nian'er, aren't you shouting all day long to see your father, why don't you hurry up and give a salute?"
Among Liu Wei's twelve sons, except for the crown prince Liu Qi, all the others were two-character county kings, with the county as their fiefdom.
Only the second son Liu Nian born to Empress Tang Wan was named the king of one word, with Lu as a fief.
"The child visits his father" Liu Nian has the style of a brother, kneeling and kowtowing.
The next to arrive at the Lin De Hall was Concubine Wei Zifu, who came with Liu Zheng, the five-year-old king of Hedong, to attend, and after seeing the emperor, she accepted the worship of other concubines and beauties, and then sat down on the table next to Concubine Wude.
Wei Zifu was followed by Sun Shangxiang, who brought his daughter Liu Linlang, who was not yet alive, to the banquet.
Sun Shangxiang was followed by the beauty Mi Zhen, who brought her nine-year-old daughter Liu Shi, Princess Zhaoyang, to participate in the New Year's banquet.

Because she has been unable to have children for many years, Mi Zhen has always regarded Liu Shi as her own daughter and regarded her as her own, which made Liu Wei very pleased.
Following Mi Zhen came the virtuous concubine Mu Guiying, dressed in a heroic posture, walking with a dragon and tiger step, completely different from other concubines wearing gold and silver, and the palace lady behind her was holding Liu Nishang, the princess of Yongle who was born in August this year.
And Da Qiao has not been able to get pregnant since she was stillborn in Jiaozhou three years ago, and she has been depressed for several years, so she is relatively close to Mu Guiying.
At this moment, seeing that everyone else is bringing their children to the feast, my heart is even more sad.
It's just that because today is the Spring Festival, the reunion banquet of the entire royal family is not easy to excuse the absence, so I can only force a smile and follow Mu Guiying to the banquet.
"Hehe, Yue Pengju repaired my book a few days ago and said that Wuji ran to Wancheng, and he is the only one missing at this banquet today" Liu Wei stroked his beard and smiled, and after accepting Mu Guiying and Da Qiao's worship, he stretched out his hand to signal the two to take a seat.
Seeing Da Qiao's sad expression, Liu Wei felt quite guilty in his heart, and secretly decided to take Da Qiao with him on the next expedition, and to fulfill her dream of being a mother no matter what.
"Father, I want to sit with you" As soon as Mu Guiying and Da Qiao took their seats, there was a sound of popping footsteps, and a seven or eight-year-old child ran into the hall like a gust of wind, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and was about to come forward and sit with Liu Bian.
