466 hard-to-choose candidates
"The demons are dancing", what a terrible scene. But Liu Hong knows that it is definitely excusable to cause this scene. After all, the position of prime minister is too tempting, and the electoral system is still used now, and all the ministers who are about the same, such as the scholars of various ministries, the famous squires, and those who have outstanding political achievements, governors, etc., all have hope of getting them. Such a rare opportunity, of course, they will try their best to fight.
However, although this scene is terrifying, Liu Hong is not worried. After all, although the prime minister has been made into an electoral system, in fact, the power to appoint the prime minister is still in his hands. The person he doesn't look down on, he will definitely not be the prime minister. Moreover, he has the right to recommend candidates for the election. Although he didn't elect anyone in the last election, this time it's different. He believed that as soon as his referrals came out, those who had illusions would immediately cease.
However, Liu Hong didn't immediately nominate people, not to mention that he hadn't thought about who he was going to promote, just such a rare scene, Liu Hong would not easily stop it. After all, with him in charge here, I believe that there will definitely be no big chaos, so he has to take a good look at what problems this election will cause. In this way, he can also solve it in a targeted manner.
Liu Hong had this kind of idea, not only did not stop the chaotic scene, but even added fuel to the fire, so that the scene was even more chaotic.
"Mess up, mess up!" Hearing the report from his subordinates, Liu Hong was even a little excited, "Such a lively scene, I have to mix it well." β
It's no wonder that Liu Hong has this idea, you must know that the liveliness of this election is no less than the scene of the general election of country M. At least, this is the case in this Jinan city.
After all, if you want to win an election, you can't rely on intrigue alone. In particular, if you want to participate in the election of the prime minister, you must first obtain the right to vote. And those who have the right to vote, except for the emperor, the prime minister and the parliament, can only obtain this qualification if they are recommended by the signatures of all the people. The emperor, the prime minister and the parliament, that qualification is not easy to get, at least those with low official positions and small reputations. It's hard to get. Therefore, the vast majority of those people chose to obtain the signatures of all the people.
If you want to be recommended by the people, at least let people know his political achievements and governing philosophy. Therefore, all over the city of Jinan are people who promote the achievements and governing ideas of those officials. There are even quite a few officials. directly went into battle shirtless to publicize.
Walk out into the street and watch the scene. Liu Hong was proud. After all, in the Hereafter. This scene didn't appear in Huaxia, but now it has appeared in Dahan, and he has absolutely reason to be proud. And just as he was walking and watching, he suddenly found that Liu Qi was also watching the excitement on the street.
"Hey, Uncle Huang still has this leisure? No, I'll have to go and see. "Come to think of it. Liu Hong came to Liu Qian's side.
"Your Majesty!" As soon as Liu Hong came over, Liu Qian found out. As soon as he wanted to salute, Liu Hong stopped him, "Uncle Huang." Why do you have time to wander around today? β
"Your Majesty, isn't this the recommended quota for the prime minister's election?"
"Ah, what's going on?" Hearing Liu Qian's words, Liu Hong was very curious.
"Your Majesty, Wechen has been in the prime minister's position for ten years, and he has been conscientious. Now that he is about to step down, Weichen will of course find a suitable successor. But Weichen has been observing for a long time, and now the ministers in the court are a little unsuitable, so they can only come out and look for them to see if there are suitable among these people. β
"Ah, Uncle Huang, there are so many ministers in the court, there are nine Shangshu alone, is there so many people, none of them meet the requirements of Uncle Huang?"
"Your Majesty, if they are suitable, Weichen will not come out to look for them!" As he spoke, Liu Qian explained to Liu Hong, "Don't talk about those waiters or something." These nine Shangshu are all in high power, and it stands to reason that they should be appropriate. However, Yang Ci, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Qiao Xuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, are too old, although their ability is enough, but their physical strength is not good, and they will definitely not be able to withstand the high-intensity work of the prime minister. Originally, Hubu Shangshu came to Yan, but he was not in good health, and some time ago he told Weichen that he would be a minister after this election, so he couldn't do it. Others, such as Liu Biao and Liu Yan's ability is not enough, Xu Xun's character is not good, and Sima Hui, Hu Zhao, and Zhang Zhongjing's qualifications are slightly insufficient, so Weichen can only look for him outside. β
Hearing Liu Qian's analysis, Liu Hong was stunned, and then he began to ponder. Liu Hong has been thinking about the position of prime minister, but he has never considered it. Now that he listened to Liu Qian's words, he began to confirm with his own thoughts.
Speaking of which, Yang Ci is really Liu Hong's first target. Yang Ci is a great person, in history, his family is also the fourth generation and the third duke, protΓ©gΓ©s and officials all over the world, his own ability is super strong, in the last election, he was a popular candidate for prime minister. Although he didn't succeed, after Hu Guang died, Liu Hong let him take over as the secretary of the ministry, in order to let him make a transition. But now when I hear Liu Qian's statement, he is really too old. And in history, if he died in 185, let alone whether he could live until 185 under such a heavy workload, even if he did, he would not be able to complete the term of this term.
Lai Yan's ability is enough, but in history, he should have been dead for two years, and now it is a miracle that he can live, how can Liu Hong let him be the prime minister again.
The others, similar to what Liu Qi said, Qiao Xuan, Liu Biao, and Liu Yan's ability to be in charge of one is nothing, if they are allowed to be prime ministers, their ability is really bad. As for Xu Xun, he is completely a villain in history, let him be the prime minister, then forget it. Zhang Zhongjing is a professional, and it is not suitable to be the prime minister. Sima Huishu was too angry, but Hu Zhao had enough ability and energy, but his years in the court were too short and his qualifications were slightly insufficient. And those famous squires are also either too old or slightly less capable, and they are all not suitable.
"Do I have to choose outside?" Liu Hong pondered for a while, and found that Liu Qian's choice turned out to be his choice, "Uncle Huang, since this is the case, let's take a look outside and see if there is anything suitable." β
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Hearing Liu Hong's words, Liu Qi also knew that Liu Hong's candidate had not been decided, so he began to lead the way and go to see those propagandists.
There are really a lot of people who publicize these things, and there are many people who see them, but no matter what Liu Hong thinks, these guys are all grandstanders.
"Alas, the candidate for this prime minister is really not certain. Now, I even want to revise the terms and let you do it for another term, Uncle Huang. β
"Your Majesty, don't do that." Listening to Liu Hong's words, Liu Qian was taken aback, "Your Majesty, if you really do this, it will be a great disaster for future generations!" β
"Alas, it's because I know this that I haven't made up my mind." Liu Hong sighed, and then said: "Uncle Huang, you are not too old, or you will run for election next term." Now I feel that you are still the prime minister, and I am the most worry-free. β
"Your Majesty, hearing your words, Weichen is really satisfied." Listening to Liu Hong's words, Liu Qian was very happy, "But Your Majesty, Weichen will not run for prime minister again." β
Why is that? Uncle Huang, you are not very old, even if you take a break from the last term, it will not be a problem to be re-elected for two consecutive terms, why are you no longer running? β
"Your Majesty, Weichen really can't stand the fatigue of the prime minister. The prime minister of the past ten years sat down, and Weichen was physically and mentally exhausted, and he didn't want to suffer that sin anymore. β
"Uncle Huang, you have really suffered." Listening to Liu Qian's words, Liu Hong felt guilty for a while.
"Your Majesty, you can't say that." After listening to Liu Hong's words, Liu Qian said: "Wechen's prime minister in the past ten years, although he has suffered a little. But after ten years of hard work, under the leadership of His Majesty, Weichen will be a big man full of holes, and govern the prosperity and strength, although this dare not say that it is absolutely last, but it is unprecedented. In this way, Wechen has been able to be famous for thousands of years, speaking of which, Wechen's life is definitely worth it. β
"Uncle Huang, you are too easy to be satisfied. Don't you want us monarchs and ministers to work together to create a stronger and more prosperous man? β
"Your Majesty, our Han Dynasty is full of talents, and there are many people whose abilities surpass those of Weichen. They are only a little less qualified now, and in five years' time, this problem will not be able to restrain them. Therefore, when the time comes, it is definitely better to use them as prime ministers. β
"Forget it, since Uncle Huang has made up his mind, I won't force it anymore." Seeing that Liu Qian really didn't want to be the prime minister anymore, Liu Hong said: "But Uncle Huang, a talent like you, it would be a pity if you were idle." It just so happens that my cabinet, since its establishment, has never been of much use. Now that you don't want to be prime minister, you should put together a cabinet for me, so that he can truly become the emperor's think tank, and can effectively advise the emperor in his decision-making. β
Hearing that Liu Hong asked him to integrate the cabinet, Liu Qian happily agreed. Then, the two began to search for suitable candidates all over the city. However, although these people are numerous, they are also not qualified enough, and they are not qualified enough.
"Alas, it's hard to have both worlds!"
Liu Hong sighed and began to ponder there. To be honest, Liu Hong really doesn't attach much importance to qualifications. He felt that as long as the person was capable enough, this would be fine. But Huaxia is such a country that attaches great importance to qualifications. The so-called following the customs of the locals cannot be ignored by Liu Hong. (To be continued......)
