Chapter 320: Cranes in the Clouds Compete for the Throne!
Next, a secret ballot will begin, and you will write your support for the Crane in the clouds to become the king of the empire, and write against it. The first dean said, "If you are worried about being recognized, you can write with your left hand." There are three hundred and ninety-five of us present, and once the number of supporters exceeds 70 percent, we will do everything in our power to push His Excellency Yunzhonghe into his rightful position at all costs. ”
"Vice President Ji Qing, could you please prepare a box? and prepare three hundred and ninety-five pieces of paper!"
Ji Qing was stunned for a moment.
Seriously, she didn't react.
Why is this happening?
I take you to see the results of the crane in the clouds, entirely because it has great significance for the empire and can change the civilization of the empire.
You don't have the idea of making the crane the king of the empire at all? Are you overreacting?
That's what it is...... Distance produced beauty.
These professors are far away from the Ph.D. and Yun Zhong He, and they know him through Yun Zhong He's works.
Last year, the crane in the clouds launched a challenge to the new Great Yan Empire, winning all five battles.
It's awesome, his music is awesome, his books are awesome.
Especially this time, the Holy Book of Sacred Things compiled by Yun Zhonghe is completely the key to the upgrading of the imperial civilization, and it completely represents the direction of human progress, which is simply a saint-like existence.
This made all scientists instinctively think of Yan Xinzong, and felt that the crane in the clouds was extremely sacred and brilliant.
But the relationship between Ji Qing and Yun Zhonghe during this time was too close, almost negative distance, although some of them fell physically and mentally, but ...... She saw that the crane in the clouds had no aura.
Suddenly, you want to promote him as a leader? There is really an inexplicable surprise that my husband is a god.
So, Ji Qing lowered his head and thought about this question.
Is the scum of Yunzhonghe really that great?
Very objective, think from a third perspective, and eliminate the negative impression that the crane in the clouds is capable in some areas.
Ji Qing found that the crane in the cloud was really amazing.
................................................
Ji Qing brought over the box and distributed a piece of paper to everyone.
The first dean said, "Start filling it out." ”
The 395 people present covered their hands and wrote their opinions on a blank piece of paper.
"Fill it out and fold the blank paper. “
Everyone present folded all the white paper so that no one could directly see the words they wrote.
"Put it in the box. ”
395 people lined up to put their votes in boxes.
........................
Next, it's time to start singing.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Against!"
In the midst of the sacred singing, the final result came out. A total of 395 people, 305 were in favor, 30 were against, and 60 abstained.
The First Dean announced, "More than seventy percent support, Fellows, this means that we will do our best to push the Crane in the Clouds to become the King of the Empire." ”
"I believe what Your Excellency Cloud Crane said, the whole world is in danger, the darkness of the Great Salty Demon Kingdom has already shrouded half of the world, and it will soon envelop the New Great Yan Empire. ”
"This dark force is unknown, we are already in darkness and fog, we need a light, we need a morning star, to guide us out of the darkness and towards a bright future. ”
"And this person is His Excellency the Crane in the Clouds. ”
"Of course, this is a very dangerous operation. The upper echelons of the empire are enlightened, but not necessarily all the time. So our claims could be life-threatening, and even bring great subversion to the Empire. So I understand very well that if you abstain from voting against it, you can leave now, you can stay out of it. ”
Next, the first dean turned his back, which showed a very gentlemanly attitude, although the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, but there is absolutely no evil speech, and there is no need to even face this kind of broken friendship.
Then, the vast majority of people present turned away.
Next, the sound of the door opening was heard, apparently someone had left.
Almost three minutes later, everyone in the room turned around again. Of the 395 people present, there were 369 people left.
Of those who voted against and abstained, there were 90 people, but only 26 left.
One of the physics professors raised his hand and said, "I voted against it because I don't want to break the status quo, I love the empire now, and I don't want it to have a huge upheaval." But now that you've made your decision, I'm willing to follow, I don't want to leave this organization I love, and besides, I'm never married, I don't have children, I don't have a wife, I ...... I don't even have a wife?!"
The professor seemed to realize the problem.
Then, the faces of more than one-third of the professors present also became sad, and the atmosphere of the audience was inexplicably deceived, and there was a sad atmosphere in the air.
No one wants to be single, especially at special moments. But they are too busy with work, completely addicted to experiments and research, how can they have time to get married? And it is too troublesome to deal with women, so some of them get divorced even if they get married.
Of the 395 people present, about a hundred in their early 100s, are currently single.
....................................
"The first item on the agenda of our closed-door meeting was a complete success, and we unanimously agreed to nominate His Excellency Yunzhong Crane as the king of the empire. The First Dean said, "Next, moving on to the second agenda, how should we elect His Excellency Cloud Crane as the King of the Empire?"
Ji Qing raised his hand.
"Vice President Ji Qing, please speak. ”
Ji Qing said: "According to the current situation, direct restoration is unrealistic. Our New Great Yan Empire has not had an emperor for more than a thousand years, and everyone is used to not having an emperor. ”
The First Dean said: "Let me correct it slightly, in fact, our New Great Yan Empire has an emperor. That is His Majesty Yan Xinzong, but after him, he could not find a suitable successor, so the throne was temporarily vacant. But our New Great Yan Empire is still an empire, still a monarchy. ”
Ji Qing said: "That's right, we still have an emperor in name." But the fact is that the throne of the new Great Yan Empire has been missing for more than a thousand years, and after the previous generation of ruling kings had a dictatorial tendency, they inexplicably contracted the disease, and then died before the end of their term. ”
The dean of the Second Academy said: "In fact, I am also against the dictatorship of the previous generation of ruling kings. However, Vice President Ji Qing said it very reasonably. ”
Ji Qing said: "And I have to admit that there is a gap between people and people's intelligence, and we can't ask the people of the entire empire to be as smart as us." ”
Everyone nodded wildly, and everyone present was convinced that the wisest people in the entire empire were here.
Ji Qing said: "So if you want to push the crane in the clouds to the top, you need to take it step by step, and you can't take it in one step, it takes time, and you need to give the public opinion of the entire empire." ”
The dean of the first college said: "What Vice President Ji Qing said is very reasonable, but I think this step by step should also be particular, not too slow, at least set the name." ”
Ji Qing said: "Yes, the key is to set the name, so first let Yun Zhonghe become the new ruling king." In order to get the support of Prince Ji Sheng, let's not move Ji Yan's position as a candidate for the martial ruling king for the time being, and we will first push the ruling king in the clouds. ”
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
Most of the people present raised their hands and voted to pass.
"Okay, then this matter is settled, let's first fight for the throne of King Wen for His Excellency Yunzhonghe. The dean of the First Academy said: "Now we move on to the third agenda, how to seize this Wen ruling king? ”
"First of all, we must fight for literature, not for arms! Although we have a huge right to speak, and we have mastered the highest productive forces of the empire. But we don't have an army in our hands, and the empire is an enlightened empire and can't have a civil war. We have to make our legitimate request to the Imperial Council, the two ruling kings, and the Senate to proclaim His Excellency Yunzhonghe as the king of the empire. ”
"But there's one thing I need people to say, we're lobbying first, and then we're going to book. Or do you want to go to the book first, and then lobby?"
This brings us to the point.
It is said that the Senate and the Imperial Family should be lobbied first, and then the book should be submitted publicly, so that it is more certain.
The dean of the second college said: "I think we should go to the book first, and then lobby. We are above board, we are for the future of the empire, we will never collude in secret, we will do whatever we want, we will be upright, and we will never be foolish. ”
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
..............................
In this way, this group of Imperial professors, Imperial Ph.D. Bachelors, had a closed-door meeting for several hours.
More than nine agenda items were discussed, and all of them were adopted.
The meeting ended and the doors opened.
At this time, the crane in the cloud had already walked around the third academy several times.
When the first dean saw the crane in the clouds, he bowed down and bowed.
Then more than 300 people in the audience all bowed down to the crane in the clouds.
And then...... The group was gone.
And it is full of wind and water.
....................................
An hour later!
These more than 300 people all changed into long robes and gorgeous clothes, and wore high crowns.
They don't dress up like this for many years, because the clothing of the New Dayan Empire has also undergone a series of reforms and innovations, although the clothes are still Chinese, and they are still based on robes, but they are not as complicated as hundreds of years ago, and they are not so antique.
Now, however, they have all changed into ancient robes.
More than 300 people walked towards the Imperial Palace.
Everyone's face was full of solemnity, solemnity, and determination.
In each person's hand, they hold a piece of music. It's been a long time since the New Great Yan Empire didn't need a note, but now each of them has a note in their hands.
It's hard for them not to attract attention.
More and more people are discovering them.
This...... What is this going to do?
What's going on? I've never had this posture before, huh?
All the officials and high-ranking officials in the entire New Great Yan Empire had graduated from several major academies, almost without exception.
And these more than 300 people represent the highest intellectual class of the empire. And five of them will go to the next generation of senates.
The leaders of the nine academies of the empire must have five places to enter the Senate, which is also an unspoken rule.
Because the New Great Yan Empire was established by exiled scholars of the new school back then, the deans of the five comprehensive academies must enter the Senate after leaving the position of dean.
Therefore, Ji Qing became the vice president of the Third Academy, which was to card in advance.
These three hundred men, neat and solemn, did not ride in a carriage, but walked in order.
Attract more and more people's attention.
Something is going to happen, something big is going to happen.
..........................................
After walking for more than an hour, these more than three hundred of the empire's top scholars came to the gate of the ruling palace.
The New Great Yan Empire has two palaces, one is the Great Yan Palace and the other is the Ruling Palace.
The Great Yan Palace is the emperor's palace, but the new Great Yan Empire emperor has been missing for more than a thousand years, so this imperial palace is more symbolic than practical, and it is now considered a museum.
For a long time, the highest center of power in the New Great Yan Empire was the ruling palace, where not only the ruling king, but also the senate was here.
The guards at the gate of the ruling palace could not stop these three hundred supreme scholars.
In particular, the deans of the five comprehensive academies, all of whom are members of the next Senate, have the right to enter the ruling palace at any time.
Three hundred men went directly outside the palace of the ruling king.
At this time, the secretary of the ruling king, Lang, was already standing outside waiting.
"Please submit our note to the two kings, as well as to the lords of the Senate. The dean of the First Academy said, and landed his own recital.
Then, more than 300 people in total, all handed over the music.
The plate in the secretary's hand was suddenly sent into the palace in a thick stack.
..........................................
The two ruling kings of the New Great Yan Empire respectively picked up the deans of the first academy and the dean of the second academy.
After reading it, his face twitched.
King Wen even closed his eyes and couldn't continue looking, but after a while, he opened his eyes and continued to look.
The two kings looked very carefully, and twice at all.
Then they exchanged their hands and found that they were exactly the same.
I picked up other notes and opened them to see that all the notes were the same, but the handwriting was different and the signatures were different.
This...... It's the first time.
For the first time after the establishment of the New Great Yan Empire, almost all the top scholars of the empire expressed their position in unison.
Unprecedented!
The scholars of the empire were relatively pure, generally not involved in politics, but only focused on research.
Even after the five deans entered the Senate, they generally only focused on the construction of the empire, the development of physics, the development of productive forces, and other professional contents, and did not go too deep into politics.
For the throne, he rarely expressed his position.
Now, however, almost all the top scholars have taken a stand.
It is necessary to establish the crane in the clouds as the king of the empire.
Are they just scholars? No, the empire has a tradition of scholars, and the entire New Great Yan Empire was established by the exiled new school of scholars, so every consul needs to be highly educated.
In other words, these top scholars were also the teachers of the two ruling kings, as well as countless imperial officials.
This recital is sprinkled with thousands of words, explaining everything clearly, and it also presents a new textbook written by Yun Zhonghe, which is known as the holy book of the new civilization of the empire.
"Are they trying to force the palace?" said King Wen hoarsely.
This sentence is already a very severe condemnation.
But the empire was an enlightened one, and the ruler did not have the power to kill or kill.
In the face of the letters of 300 top scholars, it is impossible for them to shout that someone has rebelled and arrested people!
At least for now, it is impossible to arrest people, and it is impossible to arrest these top scholars, which would cause an uproar.
The empire was very cruel to the Yi people, and it was also cruel to the criminals, but it was more humble to high-ranking scholars.
"Call in and see you. King Wu said: "Such a loud voice, you can't pretend not to hear it." ”
"Okay, then we'll see. King Wen said, "Come on, invite the five deans to come in." ”
The Nine Academies of the Empire only invited five deans to come in because they were members of the Senate in the thick of things.
The ruling king's term of office is twenty years, while the Senate is only ten years, which is also a trade-off.
....................................
A moment later, the deans of the five academies entered the hall.
After a long time, King Wen said, "Teachers, as we all know, the new king has already been chosen. The ruling king of Wen is Ji Nong, and the ruling king of Wu is Ji Yan. This is the consensus of the entire empire, and you want to make the crane the king of the empire, but you are afraid that it will cause turmoil in the empire. ”
The five deans stood silently.
Now although they have not entered the Senate and are not powerful enough, their status is more transcendent.
Once they entered the Senate, they were officials, and they lost their status as scholars, and became subordinates of the ruling king, and now they are the teachers of the ruling king.
What should be said, they have all made it clear in the recital, there is no need to say it anymore at this time, standing here without saying a word, but can show more firm will.
"For Ji Xia, we have secretly discussed that he will enter the next Senate. King Wen said: "After seeing the books of your teachers, we learned about his great contribution to the empire. So we feel that he can even become the Vice-Chancellor of the Senate. ”
The five deans were still silent.
There was an awkward silence in the hall.
King Wu suddenly said: "Deans, I am a martial artist, and you are not my teacher, so I may be mean when I speak." ”
The empire is clearly divided into civil and military, civil officials learn and grow in the academy, and military generals grow up in the martial arts academy.
These are two educational systems that do not intersect, although the seowon also practiced martial arts, and the martial arts academy also practiced literature.
The dean of the First Academy said, "The ruling king, please speak." ”
King Wu said: "If neither we nor the Senate agree to your request, what will you do?"
When King Wu said this, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous signal.
The meaning is clear, if your wishes are not fulfilled, do you want to rebel, or do you want to incite all the students to besiege the ruling palace?
The dean of the First Academy sneered: "The ruling king is joking, we are just scholars, we have no military power in our hands, no army, and it is impossible to rebel." As much as we insist that our path is correct, it is impossible for us to direct the students to besiege the Consulate and the Senate. ”
In the eyes of the two ruling kings, the strongest thing for these top scholars is their appeal, and their biggest weapon is to lead tens of thousands of students to besiege the ruling palace.
Because these are the future of the Empire, the elites of the Empire.
Once the situation develops to that point, it will be very difficult to do, and these two ruling kings may not be able to escape the blame.
King Wu said: "In this case, if we and the Senate both reject your request and refuse to make Liyun Zhonghe king, then what are you going to do?"
The dean of the First Academy said lightly: "The two ruling kings, how did His Majesty Emperor Yan Xinzong of the old Great Yan Empire do back then? He wants to lead the empire to a more advanced and brighter future, so he has cultivated a new faction. As a result, he was besieged and persecuted by conservatives, so His Majesty Emperor Yan Xinzong decided to gather the new faction forces, leave the empire, cross the ocean, find a new continent, start from scratch, and build a new Great Yan Empire. ”
Speaking of this, the dean of the First Academy said, "Although His Majesty Emperor Yanxinzong is dead, ...... Our ancestor fulfilled his last wish and established the New Great Yan Empire. If history repeats itself today, we will always be more decent than we were a thousand years ago. We will not rebel, we will not make trouble, we will only quietly exile ourselves. ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two ruling kings changed, and they said in a trembling voice: "What do you mean?"
The Dean of the First Academy said, "We will take the property that belongs to us and lead our followers to leave the empire, follow His Excellency Yunzhonghe, and establish another empire. Our ancestors had the courage to start over, and so did we!"
King Wen trembled and said, "Are you trying to split the empire?"
The dean of the First Academy said: "If we exile ourselves and leave completely, is this also considered a split of the empire? When the empire cannot fulfill our ideals and cannot follow a correct path, we can leave here, can't we?"
King Wu said: "You are splitting!"
The First Dean said, "Ruling King, you say that our actions are splitting? So more than a thousand years ago, our ancestors left the old Great Yan Dynasty and crossed the ocean to rebuild the new Great Yan Empire? Is that also a split? Is that also a crime?"
Who can say that? Who dares to say that?
The departure of the new forces of the old Great Yan Dynasty back then was absolutely politically correct, because the entire New Great Yan Empire was established by them, and now all the people in the empire are their descendants.
King Wen said, "Deans, do you know that once Yun Zhonghe becomes the ruling king of the empire, then he will open the entire war machine. Next, the new Great Yan Empire will prepare for war. The Empire will have to be embroiled in an amazing war for the Old World, tens of thousands of miles away. ”
The dean of the First Academy said: "If you don't get involved in this war now, you will definitely get involved in the future." Many old sayings in the Eastern world are dross, but there are also many words that are true, such as being born in sorrow and dying in peace. Our New Great Yan Empire has been invincible for too long, and this kind of pride and conceit will make us perish. ”
The dean of the Second Academy said: "The two ruling kings, weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is. And now the empire is in arrogance and ignorance, we are on a precipice without knowing it, we are in a fog without knowing it. If this continues, there will always be a day when the dead race will be wiped out, we need a guiding light, we need a guiding star. ”
The king of Wu said in a loud voice: "Is the morning star you are talking about a crane in the clouds? Is it an outsider?"
The dean of the First Academy said in a loud voice: "What's wrong with Your Excellency Yun Zhonghe? Isn't he a descendant of His Majesty Emperor Yan Xinzong? Isn't he the heir of the most descendant of the Great Yan Empire? Doesn't he have the purest royal blood? His bloodline report, which we have all seen in several people present, although this report is burned, it does not mean that he does not exist. ”
King Wen said loudly: "But he comes from the decaying Eastern world, he comes from the old world. ”
The dean of the Second Academy laughed and said, "Isn't it true that when you look at a person's old or new, don't you look at your thoughts? I want to ask the two ruling kings, whether it is literature, art, or philosophy, which of these new knowledge can compare with the Crane in the Clouds?"
The Dean of the First Academy said, "What is the supreme purpose of our election of the Ruling King? Has this purpose changed? Or has the crane not shown his wisdom? I remember that he won all five battles against the Empire?
King Wen said word by word: "Choosing the crane in the clouds means dragging the entire empire into the abyss of war." ”
The dean of the Third Academy said sharply: "Two ruling kings, are you afraid of war? When the empire is afraid of war, it is no different from dying. ”
King Wen said: "We are not afraid of war, but we will die if we are belligerent." ”
The Dean of the First Academy laughed loudly: "Two Ruling Kings, I ask you, can the Empire prevent the coming of war? Can it? Decide whether to go to war or not, not because of the geographical barrier, but whether there is an enemy, whether the enemy is hostile to us? If the enemy cannot find us for the time being because of the geographical barrier, or if the enemy's army cannot reach us for the time being, then it is a stealing life, a stealing life. If the empire is afraid of war because it is trying to survive, then the empire should die!"
The dean of the Second Academy said, "Two ruling kings, I also ask you a question. Is there any hostility towards us, and if not, why are people of the Great Salty Demon Nation's bloodline imprisoned?"
The dean of the First Academy said: "Two ruling kings, you say that we are here to force the palace? We are an enlightened empire, we do not rebel, we do not force the palace, we just want to persuade you, we just want to persuade the entire empire to go to the right path." We don't play conspiracy, we don't have a civil war, we don't divide. But if we can't convince you, then it proves that everyone is different, and then it means that the new Great Yan Empire has become the old empire, and we will leave here with our like-minded people, support His Excellency Yunzhonghe, and establish a new empire. ”
The dean of the Second Academy said: "The two ruling kings, we really are not here to force the palace. We have simply come to plead with the two ruling kings to join hands on the right path and lead the empire to a higher civilization. But if we don't want to, then we go our separate ways. ”
At this time, King Wen suddenly said: "Several deans, if you really lead many followers to support the crane in the clouds to establish another empire. Then he's not the ruling king, but the emperor, right?"
The dean of the First Academy said: "Yes, once another empire is established, we will worship the crane in the clouds as the emperor." He was originally the heir of His Majesty Yan Xinzong, and it was only natural for him to become the emperor. ”
