At 3 o'clock in the morning, a group of civil and military ministers lined up according to the level of their positions, and then entered the Jinluan Hall with neat steps, and when they arrived at the class, they were divided into two columns of civil and military and stood up. 八一中√文网く ★ .√8 1★z √. C o M★ Luo Yunxiao because his title of Broken General has not been withdrawn, so he continues to stand in the ranks of the military attaché.

About 4 o'clock in the morning, the little emperor Jin Chengzong, surrounded by 8 eunuchs, slowly came to the main hall, and walked to his dragon chair and sat down.

After the little emperor Sima Dezong cleared his throat, he said loudly: "Everyone, Aiqing, if there is anything to discuss today, just bring it up!" We will let the people speak freely, put forward their own arguments, and then everyone will make up their minds. ”

Sima Zilong immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." It was born in the collective corruption case of Qingzhou County. More than 100 officials from the county and county levels participated in the project. These officials have indeed violated the law of the country and should be punished, but it seems a bit too much to kill them all, which will cause the entire state and county to come to a complete standstill, so that there may be a chaotic situation, and once the climate is formed, it will be difficult to clean up. ”

Jin Chengzong suddenly interjected: "Then according to what you mean, how should this matter be handled?" ”

Sima Zilong hurriedly said: "All officials can't be killed!" Besides, they are also a ghost for a while, and they have done such foolish things, we should give them the opportunity to reform themselves, so that they can redouble their efforts to govern Qingzhou County to a higher level when governing the state and county in the future. After all, these people have been cultivating this land for more than ten years and have extremely rich governance experience. I beg Your Majesty to give them another chance! ”

He said it really righteous and awe-inspiring, and it sounded magnificent! Hearing his words, people who don't know will think that what he wants to exonerate is not a group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but Kong Fansen, a good cadre of the party in the style of Jiao Yulu!

In the two civil and military trains, there are still many ministers nodding frequently, which shows that the number of supporters of this Sima Zilong is not a few!

Luo Yunxiao originally wanted to wait for another list to express his opinions, but this Sima Zilong was above this court, openly singing praises for a group of corrupt officials, and erected a monument, which immediately made his uncle and aunt unbearable. What kind of logic is this? Without these corrupt officials, wouldn't the world be functioning? If these people continue to govern the entire state and county, they will only be even more **. Because in their bones, they only see their own interests, and they will never seek welfare for the sake of the country and the people. I want these people to change their mindset and change their thinking, unless the old sow will go up the tree and the iron rooster can pluck the feathers.

Luo Yunxiao stood out of the train, bowed deeply to the little emperor, and then said: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare to compliment Grandpa Sima for his remarks. His remarks are obviously illogical and have a different concept. Grandpa Sima, please be calm and don't be impatient, let me finish my words first, and it's not too late for you to argue! In Grandpa's words just now, there are a few places that are obviously misleading others. First of all, as we all know, Qingzhou County has been the last 3 states and counties in terms of paying taxes and grain among the 21 states and counties in China in the past 1o years, which shows that their governance ability is extremely limited and very incompetent. ”

"Secondly, let's talk about point 2. This time, the officials of Qingzhou County coveted more than 120,000 taels of silver from the country at one time, which made my Great Jin Dynasty suffer huge losses, if we still have to be the only one in this kind of thing, suffering from gains and losses, I am afraid that in the future, it is very likely that there will be a second Qingzhou County, the third and fourth and even more, in case it comes to that time, this phenomenon is born, then I want to ask you, how will we face it at that time? Therefore, it is not too late for us to make an example of this evil in the bud. ”

"Another point is that Qingzhou County is on the verge of a border pass, and it has always been safe with that Qianyan. However, if our side suddenly unilaterally builds a so-called siege in several neighboring counties in Qingzhou, it will inevitably make the other side feel that our side has a tendency to make abnormal moves, which will cause them to miscalculate. Once they have the idea of going south, then especially when we are constantly in friction and constant war with the former Qin, Tuyuhun and other countries, and are already in a kind of exhaustion and difficult to deal with, we still have to add an opponent, just imagine, can we have a peaceful day in the future? ”

Luo Yunxiao's eloquent remarks brought most of the civil and military officials into reflection. Of course, there are still people who will not be convinced, even if Sima Zilong says that a hundred flowers are blooming and the sky is falling, he will not have the same heart with you, his only purpose now is to save these officials and pave the way for his future financial resources.

If they all move forward in the direction set by Luo Yunxiao, there will be fewer and fewer corrupt officials, and their money bags will become more and more deflated. In that case, who will die for him in the future? Are you kidding? The kid surnamed Luo must not be allowed to succeed.

Sima Zilong immediately came out and said: "Luo Yunxiao is completely alarmist, it is purely his own speculation and tiredness. He said that Qingzhou County handed over too little money and grain to the state treasury every year. But do he know that this Qingzhou is mostly a land of mountains and swamps, and the lack of food is also a natural cause, and he can't blame the ability of officials! In addition, most of the officials of my Dajin are responsible and responsible good officials, just now his words and deeds beat all the officials to death with a stick, in a not very nice sentence, he is using the heart of a villain to spend the belly of a gentleman! ”

"Also, the most unacceptable thing is that he is tired of the movement in the north. When we built a siege at the border pass, it was obvious that we were showing weakness to them, because we were afraid that they would be unfavorable to our court. Under such circumstances, the most people will laugh at us for being too timid, how can they still march against us? Isn't this groundless and self-deception? ”

The little emperor said impatiently: "Then so be it! Since the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, then we don't have to fight any longer. According to the old rules, the decision is made by the number of votes! Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? ”

The civil and military officials shouted in unison: "The emperor is wise! Your Majesty! My Emperor God! ”

If it is a court meeting as in the past, a total of 1o8 civil and military officials participated, including 7 first-class officials; 14 officials of 2 products; 55 officials of 3 products; There are 32 officials in 4 products. The number of votes in the hands of each 1st rank official is 8 votes, 2 votes for 2nd rank officials, 2 votes for 3rd rank officials, and 1 vote for 4th rank officials. For every official with more than 3 grades, the number of votes in their hands can be cast for the same person, and of course, they can also vote for each side according to their preferences.

In the center of the Jinluan Palace, there are two boxes, one white and one red, and the red box represents Luo Yunxiao; The white box indicates that it belongs to Sima Zilong.

Luo Yunxiao is now ranked in the class according to the 3-rank officials, so he only has 2 votes in his hands; And Sima Zilong has 1 official residence, and he has 8 votes. Both sides undoubtedly cast their votes in their respective ballot boxes. It is impossible for anyone to vote for the other party, and whoever wants to vote for the other party is not Liu Adou's ------ for nothing?

The next step was for the courtiers to start voting. When they were voting, there were four eunuchs who held a curtain to block the box so that others could not see the voting process. After all, everyone will have to work together in the future, and it is better to be secretive about who to vote for and who not to vote for.

The number of votes today, according to Sima Zilong's judgment, he should be able to get about 135 votes.

Originally, he could only get 124 votes, but he passed unscrupulous means and poached another 1o to 12 votes from Luo Yunxiao, so if he votes today, he should have 135 votes. If nothing else, he will be the eventual winner.

However, with the help of the little emperor Sima Dezong, Luo Yunxiao actually brought the king of Shunyi, who had not been in court for many years, the number 2 person in the army, the dragoon general Sima Wuwei and his two deputies, Yiyang Hou Sima Jun, and the hussar general Qin Xian, and this time the variables were big.

Sima Wuwei is also a first-rank official position; And Sima Jun and Qin Xian are both second-grade officials. The number of votes in the hands of the three people is as high as 16, so the opponent will also reach 135 votes. In the case of a tie in the votes of both sides, the little emperor will finally decide the decision and decide the outcome of the victory. Sima Zilong could conclude that the little emperor was obviously supporting Luo Yunxiao, and as long as the two sides were equal, then he would be tantamount to losing.

At this critical moment, Sima Zilong suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the title of the hereditary founding candidate of Sima Xiong, the nephew of the minister, has been submitted to Shangshu Province for approval. Ma Shangshu, haven't you asked Your Majesty for a knighthood? ”

Shang Shu ordered Ma Lang to immediately come out and replied: "Long live my emperor, long live!" Sima Xiaohou Ye's hereditary replacement of his father Sima Ziyang's title has been approved, so please ask Your Majesty for permission! ”

More than 2o ministers of civil and military affairs shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, please give permission!" ”

At this time, a eunuch led a little boy of 8 or 9 years old into the Jinluan Palace, and this boy was Sima Ziyang's youngest son, Sima Xiong. His father had been removed from the title after he had been imprisoned for committing a crime, but his title was hereditary. It could have been said slowly, and it was not in a hurry.

Now that it was the critical moment of voting, Sima Zilong remembered this matter and immediately colluded with Shang Shuling Ma Lang to force the little emperor to comply. As long as Sima Dezong agrees, this founding candidate will become an official title, and he will be able to vote with his official position of 2 grades, which is the key!
