Chapter 754

Early the next morning, after Qin Huaidao got up, he went to the palace, today is the day to form the House of Elders, and convene the first meeting of the House of Elders to elect those permanent princes,

According to what Li Shimin and Li Chengqian said, eight permanent princes will be elected this time, and eight should be elected in each generation, but in Li Chengqian's generation, there are still nine princes left, and if this is the case, all of them will be permanent princes, and Li Shimin was worried that the princes of his generation would not agree, so he decided that there would be four permanent princes per generation.

"Hello Hu Guogong!" As soon as Qin Huaidao arrived at the gate of Chengtian Palace, some princes said to Qin Huaidao, Qin Huaidao also smiled and nodded, of course those princes hoped that Qin Huaidao could choose them, but Qin Huaidao had five tickets in his hand.

"Pepin! This way! As soon as Qin Huaidao entered, Cheng Yanjin shouted to Qin Huaidao and they went over, and at this time, Qin Huaidao also saw that the eldest grandson Wuji was also standing there, and the entire princes were all standing together.

"I've seen your uncles!" Qin Huaidao said to them with a smile.

"Well, come, sit down and say, he says he has something to say to you!" Cheng Yanjin glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, and then said to Qin Huaidao, Qin Huaidao heard it, so he looked up at the eldest grandson Wuji.

"While Your Majesty didn't come, what are we talking about?" Eldest Sun Wuji opened his mouth and said.

"It's okay, just carry those princes behind your back and whisper yes." Qin Huaidao looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said, he didn't want to go out with him alone and say it, what he said at that time would definitely be suspicious of outsiders, so it was better to say it boldly here.

"I'm afraid it's inconvenient, right?" The eldest grandson Wuji spoke.

"It's so inconvenient, you can say whatever you want!" Qin Huaidao looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked.

"I'm also for the good of the prince, some people don't choose if they shouldn't, it may bring trouble to His Royal Highness the prince when the time comes!" The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Qin Huaidao and said.

"Hah! You say King Wu? Qin Huaidao stared at the eldest grandson Wuji with a smile and asked, the eldest grandson Wuji didn't speak, and also looked at Qin Huaidao.

"You really have to choose, you can't choose if you don't choose!" Qin Huaidao said and looked at the other princes, the other princes looked at Qin Huaidao, Qin Huaidao nodded, and those princes immediately understood.

"I said Hu Guogong, aren't you afraid of offending His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" When the eldest grandson Wuji saw Qin Huaidao like this, he immediately said to Qin Huaidao.

"Is this what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant? You don't want to spend the belly of a gentleman with your own heart, you don't know what Your Highness thinks! Qin Huaidao immediately stared at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked, and when the eldest grandson Wuji heard it, his eyes looked at Qin Huaidao with a straight eye. Qin Huaidao ignored him, but sat down.

"Your Majesty has arrived, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" Wang En's voice came from the staircase on the second floor, and Qin Huaidao and they immediately stood up,

Then, I saw Li Shimin coming down from the upper floor with Li Chengqian, and the others were all looking at the top.

"Hmm. Excuse me, let's go! Li Shimin said with a smile, and then walked to a small conference room next to him, this time there were 30 princes and 24 princes, plus Li Chengqian and Li Shimin, there were 56 people.

"Sit down!" Li Shimin arrived at the main seat in front, and after sitting down, he opened his mouth and said, Qin Huaidao They will sit down immediately.

"This morning, there are three things to do, the first, to elect a permanent prince, the second, to elect the president of the House of Elders, the list of vice-presidents, and the third, to vote on the adoption of the law of the land and other laws.

If there are opinions, they can be put forward, they can be revised, the establishment of the House of Elders is to correct the problems of the court, in addition, the matters related to the House of Elders, send it down, let them see, there are detailed potential and responsibilities of the House of Elders,

There is also the meeting held here, what is said, you can't say it to the outside, and you need to announce the things that need to be announced outside in an official document, so let's first look at the constitution, rights and obligations of the Zhang Elder's House. Li Shimin sat on it and said, and then Li Chengqian began to send them those small books,

There are no servants here, the House of Elders has a meeting, and it needs to be kept secret, and outsiders cannot come in without orders. Soon, Qin Huaidao and the others got the little book, which was written by Qin Huaidao, but he still looked through it.

"Originally, I thought that I had to choose a permanent prince first, but Peping said that this was not right, and that it was necessary to select the presidents and vice presidents of the House of Elders, and at the same time take the national law and swear to me before I could start to elect the permanent prince, so as to conform to the national law of the Tang Dynasty.

I'm right to think about it, I still have to follow Pepin's intentions, so this matter can only depend on Pepin!

Now, the dean and vice president of the House of Elders are selected first, and then one of the five people is selected as the dean, and in addition, as the privilege of the dean and the prefect, one vote in the dean's hand is worth four votes, and the vice president is worth two votes in his hand! Let's choose first! Li Shimin sat there and said,

Then Li Chengqian began to send them those forms, which were the forms for selecting the dean and vice president, and after Qin Huaidao got the forms, he took a brush and began to fill them out, because it was a table for one person, and it was very far away.

And everyone also knows to avoid suspicion at this time, and they won't look at what other people write, so Qin Huaidao picked up the brush and began to write the names of Li Xiaogong, Li Yuanming, Li Ji, Cheng Biting Jin, and Wei Chi Jingde, and then folded them,

In this way, Qin Huaidao wrote five copies, in order not to let others see it, these five copies Qin Huaidao arranged these five names in different orders, and the same was true for others, including Li Shimin and Li Chengqian.

"Are you done? That's it after writing, King Hejian, Wei Guogong, you two come to scrutinize, Li Chengqian, you come to read, Peping, you come to register! Li Shimin smiled and said,

Then Qin Huaidao and they went up, took the tickets and gave them to Li Chengqian, and the same went for several other people, after Li Chengqian collected all the tickets, Qin Huaidao also spread out a blank piece of paper here, hung it on the wall, and was ready to start writing.

"Li Xiaogong, Qin Huaidao, Li Yuanjing, Li Yuanming, Li Ji!"

"Qin Huaidao, Li Ji, Li Jing, Li Shen, Li Xiaogong!" ...

Soon, the tickets came out, the first was Li Xiaogong, the second was Qin Huaidao, the third was Li Ji, the fourth was Li Yuanming, and the fifth was Cheng Yanjin.

"Alright, the list of vice deans and deans is out! Do you have any objections to this? Li Shimin looked at them with a smile and asked, those people all smiled and did not speak, who can have an opinion on this selected list.

"Alright, let's start choosing the dean, from among the five of them!" Li Shimin asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, then we, the vice presidents, each have 2 votes?" Qin Huaidao asked with a smile.

"Yes, two for each person, Pepping you have to add one, that's six." Li Shimin smiled at Qin Huaidao and said,

Qin Huaidao also laughed, and then Qin Huaidao and the others returned to their positions and began to continue writing, Qin Huaidao wrote Li Xiaogong, this is the meaning of Li Shimin, and the other generals and princes also wrote Li Xiaogong's name,

In the end, there is no doubt that it was Li Xiaogong who served as the first president of the House of Elders, and Qin Huaidao, Li Ji, Shu Wang Li Yuanming and Cheng Yanjin served as the vice presidents. After announcing the list, they also congratulated Li Xiaogong.

"Okay, the next thing is to hand it over to the King of Hejian, I am also the vice president, King Hejian, you come to the top!" Li Shimin said to Li Xiaogong with a smile.

"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you for your trust, now, we are going to start voting on the list of permanent princes, according to the rules, there are four places for each generation of princes, let's start choosing! Your Majesty, do you have anything to add? After Li Xiaogong finished speaking, he looked at Li Shimin's side.

"Well, yes, among the third-generation princes, it is the King of Zhongshan who has rewarded the prince, and he will also be selected, and he will be selected together with the second-generation prince, and will not occupy the third-generation quota!" Li Shimin sat there and spoke.

"Ahh Li Ke and the others heard it, and looked at Li Shimin in surprise, it was originally 4 places, and there was also a Min En occupied by Li Ju, how could this work?

"The first generation of princes, so many of them choose 4, you second generation princes, 9 people choose 4, now add one, it is less than the first generation of princes, otherwise, it is not fair to the first generation of princes." Li Shimin looked at the sons below, spoke, and then looked at everyone and said, "Do you have any opinions on this time?" ”

"Your Majesty, this matter still has to be handed over to the House of Elders, and Your Majesty should not give an order." Qin Huaidao stood up and said to Li Shimin.

"Huh?" Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao incomprehensibly.

"This kind of thing requires the consent of more than eighty percent of the people in the House of Elders, so it is necessary to vote, otherwise, whether the pioneer Zhongshan King Li Ju is qualified to participate in the selection of this permanent prince,

If there is, then it will be merged into the second generation of princes, and if not, then you need to be selected as the third generation of princes, and you will be selected later. Qin Huaidao looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is the authority of the House of Elders!" Li Xiaogong immediately stood up and said to Li Shimin.

"That's right, it's the authority of the House of Elders!" Li Jing also stood up and said to Li Shimin.

"Okay, just do as you say!" Li Shimin heard it, smiled and said.

"Pepin, now you go and send the form!" King Hejian said to Qin Huaidao with a smile.

"Okay!" When Qin Huaidao heard it, he stood up and began to divide the form, and after all the divisions were finished, Qin Huaidao returned to his position.

"If you agree, write agree, if you don't agree, write disagree, that's it!" Li Shimin sat on it and said, of course Qin Huaidao wrote consent, and it was on the ballot papers in six chapters, all of which said agree.
