King Hua blurted out these words, which made several old ministers a little speechless.

Mo Haige: "Then it's the same as Lord Huaqian said, it's all listed, and there is no distinction between the prime minister or other official positions from the second grade, let everyone recommend 13 people among the qualified officials, and we will discuss the rest within the political committee." ”

Li Huaqian immediately said: "The minister seconded the proposal. ”

When King Hua heard this, he nodded and said, "I will report to Your Majesty according to this chapter." What objections does the marshal have? ”

"I have no objection, but there are three suggestions, please consider Huawang Chitose. One is the Minister of Prime Minister's Affairs, I think Hua Wang Chitose is very right, it is still necessary to list separately, list the qualified officials, the trial council should take the number of votes as a reference, let His Majesty decide, after all, in the future, this is the head of the hundred officials, the first assistant of the trial council, and the prime minister of the government, and it is not appropriate to be promoted by the trial council, and even some exceedance. After Mo Hu finished speaking, he looked at King Hua.

King Hua gritted his teeth, he was just showing his demeanor, but he didn't expect to be used by Mo Hu, and when the hat was buttoned down, King Hua didn't know what to say.

Mo Hu's is more like a statement, that is, if you don't give in, then I won't let things go smoothly. As the marshal of the empire's military region, Mo Hu has this qualification to express his dissatisfaction.

Mo Haige said at this moment: "Your Majesty's previous order was for us to sort out the list, and it is true that we did not say it in such detail, and the cabinet will attach this suggestion." ”

Mo Hu seemed to be affirmed, and continued: "Except for the Minister of Prime Minister's Affairs, before the final list of the rest of the official positions is formed, all the adults of the trial council must unanimously approve and sign to confirm, after all, it is the first time that the top of the empire elects officials in the form of voting, which is a groundbreaking thing, and there must be some sense of formality, the empire is now compiling a book, and this matter can just be passed on, leaving something for future generations, and it cannot be determined by verbal approval as it is now." ”

Mo Hu is ruthless, in the past, the political trial meeting was mainly verbally agreed, even if there was a disagreement, but under the coercion of a group of people, he had to let go in the end. Mo Hu is today, everyone is rushing at him, and he really has no way back, after all, if he takes a step back, the military power will be divided, so he wants to get this signing right, and with this authority, he can bargain. And this power is what he deserves.

King Hua turned his head to look at Mo Haige, after all, Mo Haig was still in charge, and Mo Haige didn't speak, but looked at Mo Hu.

"The trial committee was signed at the beginning, but in the past year or two, after we agreed on the matter, we all planned to report to His Majesty, with the sentence 'all the ministers of the trial council seconded', although it is simple, Your Majesty is not more serious, but this time, it is the last time for us to discuss the matter of the ministers of the trial committee, isn't it the right thing to sign?" Mo Hu continued.

Mohag: "Since you have moved out of this, it stands to reason that you should sign and report to Your Majesty, but I am a little inert." ”

Mo Hu saw that this was done, so he said: "Third, when the data comes up, whose family's affairs are their own worries, I will decide the officials of the military government, the cabinet will be decided by the Taifu, and as for the political affairs hall, we will discuss and decide together." ”

"It's not going to work." King Hua spoke.

Mo Hu looked at King Hua and said: "King Hua is a thousand years old, there must always be rules and laws, for example, if there is a person in our military government who does not understand military affairs, it will affect the battle." ”

Mo Haige said: "Mo Hu's three suggestions are good, the trial committee recognized the second one today, but the third one, can not be absolute, since everyone has to sign and confirm, they have to agree, it can't be said that one side has discretion, and the other side has to arrange bargaining with the rest of the personnel, since the trial committee has recognized the second item, the third suggestion, you don't want to increase the weight, the trial committee is for everyone to discuss, even if we sign, it is also a reference for Your Majesty, such a big thing, let Your Majesty decide, what do you think?" Mo Hu? ”

A Western fairy tale, called "The Emperor's New Clothes", is not that children are pure and do not lie, one of them is the maturity of a person, and the people in the story who "see through but don't say it" are adults, everyone is sensible, everyone does not say it, and children are naïve and ignorant.

The same is true in politics, whether the position of 'Minister of Prime Minister's Affairs of the Political Affairs Hall' can be determined by these ministers of the Judicial Council, after all, Emperor Shuozheng's previous dictation also said, although it is vague, but it also has this meaning, as long as the internal Judicial Council does not say no, it can be decided, after all, how many national events have been decided in the past two years. But this time Mo Hu had already shown dissatisfaction, but no one thought about it, and even forced him to accept it, so he naturally pointed it out, which was politically ignorant, but at the same time, it made everyone have concerns, including Mo Haige, who had concerns.

Mo Hu dropped the "chopsticks", Mo Haige endured it, but he didn't expect that Mo Hu would not only drop the "chopsticks", but also set the "recipe".

Mo Hu knew, but Mo Hu couldn't retreat, Mo Hu said: "Then it's better to take all three of my three as attachments and report them to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will decide." ”

King Hua glanced at Li Huaqian, and Li Huaqian could only come forward to relieve the siege: "The army does not interfere in politics, and politics does not disturb the army, but on the side of the political trial, the military affairs are discussed in one piece." We have discussed so far, about the vote, has been basically formed, I will sort it out, the voting time is about 4 days; The voting method goes to the cabinet, writes in person, and submits in person; It is estimated that there are about 140 people who are eligible to vote; As for the selection of personnel, Huawang Chitose and Taifu agreed to my plan, that is, on the basis of the system of 'promotion without promotion', add a list of qualified ministers, among them, whether the Minister of Prime Minister's Affairs is selected separately depends on His Majesty's opinion; finally, Mo Hu suggested that we should sign and confirm before giving it to His Majesty. Ministers, I am right. ”

Li Huaqian said for a while, in fact, it was equivalent to saying nothing, but he summed it up.

Li Huaqian nodded when he saw that everyone was nodding, and then said: "Since this meeting is to discuss how to vote, in fact, it has been basically completed so far, as for what will be discussed and decided at the next political trial, I think we can leave time for these four days, and there are some things, Mo Hu also has the right to face the saint." Oh, by the way, Taifu, you set a time in four days, when are we going to have a meeting? ”

"Four days later, two days before the ceremony, at the beginning of the day, it will be held in the Shuozheng Hall, is it meaningful for you?" Moheg said.

"The minister seconded the proposal." Li Huaqian was the first to say.

Li Huaqian played a "magic", he turned the sharp questions raised by Mo Hu into the time for the next meeting. And the sentence "seconded by the minister" here is another "magic", because the "seconded by the minister" of this meeting is the result of seconding the entire meeting sorted out by himself? Or is it just a seconding of a meeting time?

Seizing this opportunity, Wu Peihang and Hua Tianxiong also said: "The minister seconded the proposal. ”

"That's all for this meeting, I agree. Marshal, do you have any other comments? King Hua asked Mo Hu.

At this point, Mo Hu also understood that he couldn't fight for anything, and this meeting was a half-win.

Mo Hu smiled and said: "Huawang Chitose, just arrived in Huadu, he was fortunate to decide on government affairs, and it was the dereliction of duty of the minister, so I asked Huawang Chitose to be exempted from blame." ”

"How can I blame the marshal, then this meeting will be according to what Li Huaqian said, I will enter the palace with Taifu and report to Your Majesty in a while." Hua Wang asked.

Mo Hu: "Xie, Huawang Chitose." Ministers are courageous, how to elect the name of the Minister of Qualifications on the military side, is it to be discussed again? After all, some of them are old, and some of them are not in good health......"

"Qualified ministers, officials are on the list, and the cabinet is appointed. If you are unable to participate, ask the qualified minister to write an excerpt in his own hand, declaring that he will give up. At the beginning of the unitary period, the cabinet could not receive the fold, so it did not wait. Before Mo Haige finished speaking, he went up directly.

Mo Hu nodded and said, "It's still Taifu who is careful about it." ”

The meeting was dispersed, and King Hua and Mohag rode together in an English carriage and walked towards the palace.

The two chatted in the car for a while, and suddenly Mo Haige asked, "King Hua, what did you see today?" ”

"Mo Hu is so scared! I don't care about the rules anymore, and I want to make a profit. Hua Wang said.

"Zhaojia and his entourage have indeed made His Highness see something." Mohag said lightly.

King Hua frowned and asked rhetorically, "Taifu, aren't you afraid of dividing your authority this time?" ”

Mo Haige: "The king is not secret, and the minister is not secret." As the head of a country, you must never ask about the rights of your subordinates. ”

King Hua said with some humility: "This time Zhaojia, I understood a lot when I came back, so I want to really understand power, and I hope that Taifu will answer your questions." ”

Mo Haige said: "Don't hide it from King Hua, the minister asked Your Majesty yesterday and proposed to tell the elders, but Your Majesty maybe, just allowed Wu Peihang to assist the cabinet." ”

"Taifu is the minister of my empire's humerus, and he can't put down this red pen yet. Besides, Taifu has the responsibility of education. "Huawang just wants to ask to the end.

Mo Haige: "Tao Te Ching" preaches 'governing a big country, if you cook a small fresh', this small fresh, divide and eat, more than others, naturally you will have less points, Hua Wang, although you are also at the table, but you are going to be in charge of the spoon in the future, the meaning of the spoon is that the small fresh should be in your own bowl, but you can have a few copies of this small fresh in the bowl now? ”

King Hua asked, "If I want to sit firm, do I have to share the power of Mo Hu?" ”

After thinking for a long time, Mo Haige said: "You have to guard against Mo Hu this time, lest he borrow your affairs to protect his rights." ”

"Is Mo Longxiang your man?" Hua Wang asked.

"I educated him." Mohag said.

"Taifu and King Luo are close?" Hua Wang asked again.

Mohag: "I lived in the Luo Mansion for a while. ”

Hua Wang: "Can I trust Mo Longxiang?" ”

"Then do you trust Liang Ji?" Mohag asked rhetorically.

"I didn't believe it at first, but now it's changed. It's a pity to die. ”

Mohag: "You have to think back, don't join those interests to see, you have to see the truth." No matter how much we say, the brotherhood between His Majesty and Mo Hu is rare and precious. ”

However, King Hua obviously didn't listen, and at this moment he looked out the window and said, "It's time to go to Xiyuan." ”
