The officials of the Left Prime Party wanted to share the official position of Xiangzhou, but thinking that with one of the ten elders of Jinshi in charge, the success rate of Fang Yunwen's war in the state was extremely low, so the officials pressed the irritability and anxiety in their hearts and waited for the reaction of the Left Minister.

After a long while, Zuo Xiang did not speak.

Fang Yun continued: "As for the fourth evil, the so-called disharmony of the human race is even more self-deception. Even during the Great War between the Two Realms and the Mountains, there were a few people who were cheating and playing tricks, greedy for life and afraid of death. Where do you think those rebel races came from? Our human race not only needs to compete with the demons and barbarians from the outside, but also needs to compete with the demons from the outside! This kind of civil war is the method of healthy competition to reduce internal friction. If Wen Zhan is really as Ou Shilang said, how can the saints allow it?"

Ou Lao said: "Xia Guan once again reiterates that the time is not suitable for civil war, because the second battle of the Two Realms Mountain will soon occur!"

"Decades ago, Qing Guo knew that the thousand-year-old no-war treaty was about to expire, and he still fought against my Jingguo!

"That time, this time!" Ou Lone reluctantly quoted a famous quote from "Mencius".

"Hmph!" some officials kept snorting, very disdainful of Ou Lone.

If it weren't for the importance of today's court meeting, some people would have sneered and even criticized it.

Fang Yun no longer paid attention to Ou Lone, glanced at the civil and military officials, and said: "I am fighting a state alone as the prince of the town, which involves heavy dà, which needs to be approved by the cabinet and ordered by the monarch." I think it is better to make a decision sooner rather than later, and ask the four ministers of the cabinet to make a decision today, so as not to have too many dreams at night. ”

Fang Yun had a showdown.

The air in the Fengtian Hall suddenly froze, and everyone breathed carefully, observed carefully, and thought carefully.

After dozens of breaths, Fengtian Hall was still silent, and no one spoke.

The cabinet has four phases: the left phase, the right phase, the auxiliary phase and the cultural phase. The actual status is the highest in the literary phase, but the authority is the largest in the left phase. Unless the right minister, the auxiliary minister, and the cultural minister join forces, there is absolutely no way to threaten the position of the left minister.

But. Auxiliary Minister Si Yueqing is a hardcore leftist party.

Si Yueqing took a step forward and said, "Qi Yu Monarch, Queen Mother." The minister thought that the library was the library of Fang Xusheng, not the library of Jingguo. Jingguo's first priority is to resist the grass barbarians in the north, not to fight Qingguo in the civil war, and it is not appropriate to make enemies with Qingguo this year!"

Cao De'an, the right minister who has always rarely expressed political opinions, said: "Minister, agree with Fang Xushengwen Zhanqingguo!"

Two of the four phases agreed, leaving only Liu Shan, the left minister, and Jiang Hechuan, the literary minister.

Jiang Hechuan said: "The old man thinks that Fang Xusheng's move is beneficial to Jingguo, so he should support it fully. Liu. What do you say?"

All the officials looked at Liu Shan alone.

Liu Shan smiled indifferently and said, "Since the four ministers of the cabinet cannot decide, then according to the usual practice, the four ministers and the cabinet senators will vote together." ”

Many officials in the audience sighed.

There is a rule in the cabinet vote, that is, it must be approved by more than 70% of the cabinet senators, and if the cabinet senate agrees with less than 70%, the vote will fail.

The left minister has great authority.

Zuo Xiang Liushan is in charge of the officials, and the entire officials are up and down, and ninety percent of them are people from Liushan.

The evaluation and promotion of all civil officials in Jingguo are determined or influenced by the ministry. However, the number of civil officials in Jingguo is the largest, and the influence is also the greatest.

However, the evaluation of officials of the Faculty of Liberal Arts is still the responsibility of the Ministry of Officials, and if the Ministry of Officials has sufficient evidence to prove that the officials of a certain Faculty of Liberal Arts cannot be promoted. Even if Wen Xiang came forward in person, it was useless.

Only the military is not affected by the Ministry of Officials, the military is divided into two parts, and the evaluation and evaluation are decided by the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War also has a certain right to recommend, but the agency for mobilizing troops and horses and appointing officers is not the Sixth Ministry, but the Generalissimo's Office.

The Generalissimo's Office actually delegated orders directly to the monarch, giving the royal family a firm grip on the military power of a country.

If nothing else, the generalissimo of each country is a member of the Holy Family, because most of the Holy Family wants the country to be stable more than the royal family. This will also better prevent civil officials or royal sidelines from seizing power.

It's just that different generalissimos have different temperaments. In some countries, the generalissimo is power-hungry and often takes matters into his own hands. Even the monarch was overthrown, but the generalissimo Chen of Jingguo, on the contrary, faded out of the government after making great contributions and maintaining a stable position, and since last year, he has even said that he is not sick, and every order is issued by the monarch or the queen mother.

Generalissimo Chen is a scholar, and he is one of the most likely scholars in Jingguo to become a great Confucian in ten years, and for him, the significance of a generalissimo is far less important than that of a great Confucian.

The Generalissimo's Mansion has been built by the royal family and the Chen family for more than a hundred years, and there is no possibility for the people of the left prime minister to break into it.

There are three members of the military department, one Shangshu and two waiters, and originally only the right waiter with the lowest status is the left minister's party, but after Tong Luan forced his grandson to defect to the left minister because of Fang Yun, the two waiters of the military department became the left minister's party.

Once the secretary of the military department steps down, there is a ninety percent chance that the new secretary of the military department will be selected from one of the two squires, which means that the left party will have a greater influence in the army.

Due to the relatively loose nature of the Faculty of Liberal Arts, the Left Side does not need to be deliberately infiltrated, and after years of layout, it has a certain influence in the Faculty of Liberal Arts.

The most powerful force of the left minister is in the ministry of officials, followed by Mizhou, and ninety percent of the officials in Mizhou are personally promoted by the left minister.

And in Yanzhou, which borders the state of Wu, King Kang can be called the emperor of the soil.

Once the left minister joins forces with King Kang, even the queen mother can only avoid its edge.

The cabinet senator is an additional title, and there is no real position, and only the important ministers of the court whose status is second only to the four prime ministers are eligible to obtain, and everyone has the power to slightly affect the entire Jingguo.

Fang Yun silently counted, Li Wenying and Generalissimo Chen were not there, and there were 29 people in the cabinet and the cabinet senators, but the left minister had two votes, that is, at least 21 votes in favor before he was eligible to go to Wenzhan Qingguo.

If there are less than twenty-one votes, then Fang Yun will not be able to represent Jing Guowen to fight Qingguo, even if he wins, he will only suppress Qingguo and will not be able to recapture Xiangzhou.

Fang Yunwen fought against Qingguo, originally wanted to kill three birds with one stone, one is to avenge the revenge of Qingguo last year, the second is to warn other families and countries not to ban the library, and the third is to take back Xiangzhou.

Now it seems that the chances of recovering Xiangzhou are extremely low.

However, before the final result came out, Fang Yun was not discouraged in the slightest, and said: "Then the vote begins, vote for the left for support, and vote for the right for opposition." ”

After Fang Yun finished speaking, he threw his official seal to the left.

The four ministers and the cabinet senators started one after another, and one by one the official seals flew away from the hundred officials, or flew to the left side of Fang Yun, or flew to the right side of Fang Yun.

Official seals of different sizes and materials are suspended in mid-air.

There are obviously many official seals on the left side of Fang Yun, and they fly away quickly, reaching fifteen official seals soon, while the official seals on the right side are few, only ten, and there are still people who have not voted for them.

However, neither the left nor the right phase moved.

Before the vote was reached, there were 10 votes against, which means that the total number of votes in favor will never reach 70%.

Fang Yun's heart sank deeply.

Suddenly, Wen Xiang said: "Gong Jianmei can't go to Fengtian Palace, he asked me to support Fang Yun, and now, there are sixteen official seals on the left side." ”

Time passed slowly, and the officials who were still hesitating finally made the final decision, except for Zuo Xiang Liu Shan and Wen Xiang Jiang Hechuan did not move, and the rest of them were all printed.

The number of official seals against reached eleven, while the number of official seals in favor was only seventeen.

Liu Shan said: "Lord Wenxiang, the matter has come to this point, you and I don't have to vote." The cabinet decided that the Zhenguo Gong should not represent Jing Guowen and Qingguo!" (to be continued)
