East Pavilion of the Forbidden City.

Zhang Siwei sang to the vote of the waiters.

"Wang Bengu, the left attendant of the ministry, supports Jiaolai."

"Liu Guangji, the right attendant of the ministry, supports shipping."

"Liu Yingjie, the right attendant of the military department......" Zhang Siwei read this, paused obviously, and then said slowly: "Neutral." ”

'Hum', there was an irrepressible exclamation in the East Pavilion.

Liu Yingjie is a native of Weixian County, Shandong, shouldn't he support Jiaolai? Why is it suddenly neutral?

Especially those officials who supported Cao Yun, they all looked at Liu Shilang in surprise, I don't know what he was thinking in his head?

Shandong Governor Jiang Tingyi's face changed greatly, when he visited Liu Shilang before, he clearly said that it was good, didn't he want to support Jiaolai River together, why did he change his hexagram?

But Liu Yingjie bowed his head and was silent, and everyone had no choice but to continue listening with question marks in their heads.

"Tobe Kuraba Shilang Guoguang supports Jiaolai." Zhang Siwei had no choice but to continue reading.

"Chen Shaoru, the right waiter of the household department...... Neutrality. ”

There was another buzz, and the ministers didn't expect that the Cantonese officials were also neutral.

The officials of the Caoyun faction couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

But fortunately, the officials from Shanxi and Huguang, one counts as one, and they all supported Jiaolai, so that the number of votes for shipping has never been opened.

By the time he finished reading the Shilang and Xiao Jiuqing levels, Haihai received sixteen votes, Jiaolai received fourteen votes, and two abstentions.

The atmosphere in the East Pavilion was also tense.

Next is the twelve votes of Kedao, one of the votes of the processing department.

"The Ministry of Industry is the capital of the water and the Qing official Shilang Qi Yuanzuo, who supports shipping."

"The officials all gave Zhang Sizhong in the matter and supported Jiaolai."

"The military department has given Zhang Puduan in the matter and supported shipping."

“……”

"Hu Kezuo gave Han Ji to the matter, and supported Jiaolai."

By the time there were still two people left, Hai Hai had already received twenty votes, Cao Yun had only eighteen votes, and four abstained.

If one of the two officials chooses to abstain or support shipping, Caoyun will lose.

Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and looked at the two question books in Zhang Siwei's hands.

It was already summer in Beijing in May, and Xiao Wei was wearing a thick official mansion again, and fine sweat was dripping from his forehead. He took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his face and palms before clearing his throat and continuing to read:

"Shandong Provincial Superintendent Yushi Ye Mengxiong, Neutral ......"

The sweat that Zhang Siwei had just wiped off came out again, and the voting ministers were all stunned.

Shandong and Guangdong actually appeared five neutral votes, if it weren't for the Shanxi gang to help each other, Caoyun Group would have been defeated!

Now, the victory or defeat was on the last ticket in Xiao Wei's hand, and he had been brewing for a long time, and Fang announced with a trembling voice:

"Zhili patrols Hou Juliang and supports Jiaolai ......"

After reading it, he picked up the question book with a blank face and prepared to send it to the cabinet to make a book and seal it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, have you read all the questions correctly?" Li Chunfang asked the ministers of the vote.

"That's right." Everyone nodded in unison.

"Alright, let's see the results." Li Chunfang looked at the blackboard on the side, and got four "positive" words under "Jiaolai". There are also four "positive" words under 'sea freight'. In addition, under 'neutral', there is also a 'positive' character.

"As a result, there are 20 people who support the reopening of the Jiaolai River; There were also 20 people in favor of shipping, and five adults were neutral. Li Chunfang is satisfied with this result, anyway, it will take time to restore the luck, and it is good to delay it.

"Then I will play with this result, and I respectfully ask the referee." After Li Shoufu finished speaking, he announced that the court meeting was over.

~~

By the time Zhang Siwei sent those court manuscripts to the cabinet and completed the registration and handover, it was already noon.

Coming out of Wenyuan Pavilion, the scorching sun roasted him for a while.

Xiao Wei's body was already weak, and he felt strong discomfort at this time, so he had to follow the shade of the wall and walk out of Donghua Gate with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

At the gate of Donghua, Zhang Siwei's entourage was waiting with an umbrella. Seeing him come out, Chang Sui hurriedly stepped forward to hold up an umbrella for Gongzi to shade, and whispered to him that Yang Bo was waiting for him in the car.

Zhang Siwei nodded, looking at the black carriage parked in the shade of the tree, he was actually a little hesitant.

"Alas......" he sighed, and said that he could not escape from the face, so he got into the carriage.

On the carriage, Yang Bo was playing a fan with his arms open, and he was snorting cherries at the same time, and the Persian jacquard carpet was full of cherry pits he vomited.

"Uncle." Zhang Siwei lowered his head in fear.

Although Yang Bo was born in the army and is informal, since he became a heavenly official, he still pays attention to his image. His relapse shows that he is very irritable.

"Well, it's all taken care of?" Yang Bo nodded and asked vaguely.

"It's all taken care of." Zhang Siwei nodded.

In fact, today's draw in Tingtui was not naturally formed, but was manipulated by him.

In fact, the Jin Party and the Huguang Gang, originally only had three votes from Yang Bo, Huo Ji, and Wang Guoguang, and they voted for Jiaolai. The questions of the other five were all blank, and it was up to Zhang Siwei to decide who to vote for.

Originally, he thought that with his own three votes, Cao Yun and sea transportation would be evenly matched. The remaining five votes can play around with the Gangnam Gang, such as giving two votes on one side first, asking them to raise their hearts to their throats, and then abstaining from voting at the last vote. In this way of leveling the cats and rats, it is necessary to achieve the goal of teaching the Jiangnan Group a lesson and not completely offending them.

Who would have thought that the other party actually let the Caoyun camp vote neutrally!

If there is a neutral vote, he will have to make up a yes vote.

If one more appears, he'll have to make up another.

In the end, there were five tickets, and he could only make up all the tickets in his hand!

As a result, all the votes of the Shanxi Gang and the Huguang Gang were voted on the opposite side of the sea, didn't this still offend the Jiangnan Gang?

What's even more disgusting is that Caoyun's gang of wastes haven't won yet......

Leaving the East Pavilion and filling in the question book in the cabinet duty room, Xiao Wei, who didn't hit the fox and made a fuss, burst into tears when he thought of it.

How can the five goods in Shandong and Guangdong be like this? As long as there is one who does not abstain, whether you vote for sea transportation or Cao Yun, Xiaowei has room to operate, and he can always get by on face.

How can five people abstain from voting together? Isn't this playing with people?

Thinking of this, Zhang Siwei's eyes turned red again. He felt that he had never been so humiliated in his life.

~~

on the carriage.

"Phew!" Yang Bo took a sip hard. Zhang Siwei's liver trembled, thinking that he was spitting on himself, but he didn't expect him to spit out five or six cherry pits.

"Didn't expect that, did you?" In fact, Xiao Wei is too worried, the tiger will not bite when he is old, and the old Yang family will rely on him in the future, even if he is unhappy, he will not embarrass him. "To eat or not to eat?"

"I really didn't expect it." Zhang Siwei shook his head and declined the cherry handed over by Yang Bo. "Zhao Xiaozi can make those five people abstain at the same time, there are indeed two brushes."

Saying that, Xiao Wei sighed lightly with some fear: "Fortunately, he can only let them abstain, but as long as one votes for him, we will lose." ”

"No, you're wrong." Yang Bo put down the white porcelain plate, wiped the cherry juice on his hands on the white curtain, and said lightly: "Until now, you haven't faced your opponent squarely, if Zhao Hao lets those people vote for him, it won't make people so jealous." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Siwei looked at Yang Bo in surprise. "Uncle means that he deliberately made those five people vote neutral to disgust us?"

"Well, of course, how could it be so coincidental?" Yang Bo smiled and said, "He must be thinking, you old Xi'er calculated me, and you want me to thank you?" There are no doors! I won't let you vote for me, and you won't have the face to ask me for shares in the future. ”

"Despicable ......" Zhang Siwei muttered, only to feel that this fang was really hateful.

"But to a greater extent, he still thinks about winning like this, and the impact is not good." Yang Bo couldn't help but admire: "Not to mention, with the strength of one family, won't it be too eye-catching to win the Caoyun Group with the support of the first assistant, the university scholar, and the secretary of the ministry?" Even if he wins this time, can the opponent admit it? Definitely not possible. ”

As he spoke, his tone became low and said, "The two sides still have to fight to the death, even if they win, they will not be able to live in peace." Therefore, it is completely acceptable to draw it, and when Gao Xinzheng is moved out, he will complete the shipping of grain under his pretenses. ”

"Uncle means that the Jiangnan Group is deliberately seeking peace this time and forcing me to vote against?" In the stuffy carriage, Zhang Siwei instantly felt cold hands and feet.

"Exactly." Yang Bo nodded.

"I see...... Zhang Siwei leaned his back against the carriage, with a bad expression on his face, and muttered: "I have been seen through by that cunning boy, and I was played by him as a monkey by the nose." ”

Yang Bo didn't pour vinegar on his wound again, just ordered to drive, and opened the closed window again, allowing the cool air to flow in, cooling down Xiao Wei.

When the carriage was about to arrive at Yang Bo's mansion, Zhang Siwei suddenly raised his head and asked, "Uncle, if you are replaced today, how will you deal with it?" ”

"How can there be so many ifs?" Yang Bo smiled.

"My nephew is asking my uncle for advice." Zhang Siwei looked at him deeply and humbly asked for advice.

"Okay then...... If I change the old man, as soon as I see someone abstaining, I will change my strategy on the spot and give Zhao Gongzi a big victory. Yang Bo smiled and said: "With Zhang Xianggong and the old man supporting him, the victory is not so eye-catching, and he has to accept this favor if he doesn't want it." Not to mention the fact that we have turned hostility into jade silk, we can also accept the shares that we negotiated before. ”

"This, this, this is too ......" Zhang Siwei couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard this. Obviously, it was his own side that provoked the battle first, how could the other party kneel as soon as he put on a posture to fight?

What's the festival? Do you want to be shameless? The four dimensions are not open!

After all, the other party is Uncle Yang, whom he respects, and Xiao Weisheng swallowed the word 'shameless'.
