――――――

The meeting convened by the Yuan people of the Han Dynasty in the sixth year of Xuanhe was very immature in terms of the procedures of the meeting and the style presented. However, compared with previous editions, it also seems a little special. Past meetings have not been without controversy, but most of the time the leadership has been able to reach a relatively unanimous agreement. When the opinions of deputies Zhi Yanchong and Yang Yingqi were revealed (most of the opinions of Zhi Yanchong and Yang Yingqi were the same before), the deputies of the Ministries and the People's Republic of China raised their hands in favor and unanimously passed the vote -- this is the normal situation of voting at the Yuan Ministry's Congress.

But this year's meeting was really "weird", and the leadership was actually divided! As the weather vane, Zhi Yanchong and Yang Yingqi did not make a statement, and the representatives of the controversy turned out to be two other heavyweights: the second general Cao Guangbi and the sixth general Xiao Tienu! Of course, the words of the two generals have their own merits, although they heard that many people actually had plans in their hearts, but they still frequently paid attention to the expressions of Zhi Yanchong and Yang Yingqi, hoping that they could reveal some words or opinions so that they could follow suit. But to their disappointment, Zhi Yanchong and Yang Yingqi sat still one and bowed their heads in contemplation, and they didn't show any inclination, which made it difficult for those representatives who wanted to follow the trend.

After the dialogue between Cao Guangbi and Xiao Tienu ended, the moderator asked the delegates to line up to speak -- stating that they were afraid that there would be too many people to speak, and who knew that in the end, there would not be a single bird in the entire venue. Seeing the embarrassing situation, Zhang Xuanzheng, who presided over the meeting, moved his wits and asked the representatives of each representative district to nominate one to speak. For a while, all districts were in a commotion, and then they hurriedly launched a person to speak, except for Li Yu of Guan Ning School, who was more passionate and obviously supported Cao Guangbi, the others all spoke calmly, and among them, Zhao Lumin's two concluding words were the most representative: "This major event, we think, it is difficult to defeat the Song Dynasty from the Jin, and it is also difficult to help the Song Dynasty soldiers, both dilemmas and two possibilities." But in any case, as long as it is decided by the great general and several generals, we will support it! Many people applauded.

Seeing this scene, Yang Yingqi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, thinking to himself, how could the scene be so formalized? But when you think about it, the Yuan Minmin Conference was originally a very formal thing, and now it is naturally difficult to turn the corner when everyone is suddenly asked to express their "true insights." None of the people from Liao and Jin had experienced similar scenes, but the Song intellectuals had a similar tradition -- since ancient times, China had systems such as court push and court discussion, which were abolished in the Yuan and Qing dynasties. It's a pity that a slap didn't make a sound, and no one stood up to confront them, and the arrow fell into the air, and it was difficult to continue. Besides, Li Yu's words are a bit inflated and cannot be implemented. In fact, most of the people present have their own opinions and ideas, but most of them are rotten in their stomachs and refuse to speak!

"Maybe it's a mistake to bring things here for discussion," Yang Yingqi thought......, "Or is there a problem with our procedure?" ”

Yang Yingqi is well aware that the atmosphere and procedures in the discussion of the meeting are very important. Atmosphere is a prerequisite for the active participation of the participants, and the procedure is the method to ensure that the outcome of the meeting meets the desired goals. Yang Yingqi has experienced the debate and voting of a few people or a dozen people, but he has never experienced such a scene of hundreds of people discussing a major event together, so he has no idea what kind of procedure is the most effective in this situation.

Finally, the meeting reached the final voting stage. The content of the vote was: if the Jurchens really asked the Han Ministry to be the vanguard of the Song Dynasty, when all other methods could not make Huining change his mind, whether to resist desperately, or to retreat and submit to the Song Dynasty.

Originally, Yang Yingqi also hoped that there would be a smart person to propose a third and fourth method for choice at the meeting, but who knew that in the end, there was none!

"Please raise your hand in support of the representatives who are desperate to resist the Song Dynasty......"

Talk about more than a dozen people, half of them are lifted up and put down quickly.

Cao Guangbi was stunned, and Xiao Tienu was secretly proud.

"Then please support the raising of hands that retreat and submit, and from the golden war, ......"

Not a single one!

Yang Yingqi, who was drinking water to hide his uneasiness, choked out! More than a dozen people supported Cao, and none supported Xiao, so what do the others mean?

Yang Yingqi's head hadn't turned for a while, but Xiao Tienu over there had already understood: more than a dozen to zero - the comparison of this vote does not mean that Cao Guangbi has higher support than himself, but that most people are reluctant to raise their hands when they see the embarrassing scene of the dozen people who raised their hands for the first time! Yang Yingqi also understood after a turn of his brain, and after a little groaning, he ordered someone to go to the Jinmen Chamber of Commerce to borrow their voting machine. The venue of the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce was nearby, so the voting machine was quickly found, but the votes were not enough, so Yang Yingqi ordered someone to quickly find a few boxes of Go and use chess pieces to make votes.

The voting machine is actually a shelf covered with a black cloth, and there are three boxes on the left, middle and right on the shelf, and if you put your hand into the black cloth, you can clearly feel the slots of the three boxes, which not only ensures that the voter will not be mistaken, but also ensures that others cannot see how he votes -- this method of secret ballot was invented by the Qingyang Port Chamber of Commerce in Dengzhou, and later gradually spread to the Chamber of Commerce in Tianjin and Liuqiu, so as to deal with some things that could not be discussed and inconclusive.

After the voting rules were explained, the representatives of the three hundred Han Yuan people lined up to vote, those who supported the Song Dynasty voted left, those who did not support the Song Dynasty voted right, and those who abstained voted in the middle, and the votes were completed after more than half an hour.

And yet they were wrong. The ticket inspector lifted the black curtain in public, and after opening the box, everyone found that the chess pieces in the middle box were the least, only a dozen or so. The box on the right doesn't have many pieces, only a few dozen - most of them are concentrated in the box on the left! The number of pieces is so disparity that you don't have to count to know the winner.

However, due to procedural needs, the ticket inspector still counted there honestly, but Cao Guangbi's heart had sunk.

After Xiao Tienu's questioning, he actually had a premonition that the ending might not be good, but he still didn't expect to lose so badly.

"The second brother lost, not just because of his position." Yang Yingqi realized because of the things in front of him: when facing a large group of people, the effect of rational tirades is not obvious, what they need is actually words that they can understand at first hearing. Simple, simple, simple!

At this time, Zhi Yanchong, who had not spoken, finally stood up and said: "I understand what everyone means, I already have a bottom in my heart about what to do about this matter, you don't have to worry." Hanbu will be fine. ”

Hundreds of people couldn't help but cheer in unison when they heard this. Orihiko didn't say what he had planned, but that didn't matter. All you need is the assurance of the undefeated leader that they want to believe!
