After the results of the primary election were released, the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion notified the many candidates who were waiting in the outfield of the results.

The victorious ones stayed, and those who did not win immediately left the Zongren Mansion and returned to their respective families.

A few families are happy and a few are sad.

The second round, that is, the formal meeting of princes and ministers, is scheduled to be held at 9 o'clock in the morning of the day after tomorrow at the Qianqing Palace.

At that time, His Majesty the Emperor, who is seriously ill, will be present at the venue in person.

According to the process of the Ministry of Rites, the 25 candidates who won the primary election this afternoon will collectively pay homage to the statues of the ancestors and the ancestors under the leadership of the Zong Ling, and make their comments on the competition for the hat king in front of the portraits of the ancestors.

That is to say, why you want to come out to choose, why you choose, and what you have to do after you are elected, so as to become a good hat king who is not only supported by the clan and officials, but also can serve the Qing Dynasty wholeheartedly.

This is an innovation in this Congress, which has never been done before.

According to the Ministry of Rites, this will make the candidates more deeply understand the difficulties of their ancestors' entrepreneurship, so as to know that it is not easy to keep the success, and then stimulate the sense of responsibility in their hearts for the country.

In other words, it was a public canvassing session that was permitted by the regulations.

Of course, this is Jia Liu's proposal.

The necessary process for the realization of democracy in the Qing Dynasty.

Even if it is a form, as long as this form exists and there are more times, it will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

It's just that I didn't know that I would be made a candidate by Uncle Se, so after the morning meeting, I quickly found an office in the Zongren Mansion and urgently wrote his campaign speech.

It doesn't matter what you think in your heart, what matters is how you say it.

Inconsistency between the outside and the inside is the basic principle of being an official.

"Ah, the sun is shining in September, it is the autumn is crisp, the clouds are blank on the capital, the sky is so blue, I walked into the solemn Zongren Mansion with excitement."

The first draft was written about 800 words, and when I read it carefully, I felt that it was inappropriate, it was not official enough, like a primary school student's composition, not like a feudal work.

And it's written in the vernacular, no matter how you look at it, it's not forced.

After thinking about it, I tore it up and rewrote it painfully.

"Recalling that year, Emperor Taizu raised troops with thirteen armors, and then the grass created a foundation, and the road was blue. There are not thousands in the earth, and tens of thousands of soldiers. But the father and son, the monarch and the minister, work together, and the teacher is strong. The dragon of the lotus sky, with the ability to break through the 200,000 people. Every time I watch the record, I don't feel tempted. Thinking of the diligence of my ancestors, and thinking of the propaganda power of the ministers at that time"

In the re-writing, he spoke highly of Emperor Taizu at the beginning, and then praised Taizong, Shizu, Shengzu, and Shizong.

More than 400 words were used for the appreciation of the five ancestors alone, and then the conversation changed to speak highly of the ancestor Yu Wang Duoduo, who was nothing more than the most famous of the founding kings, who were able to fight well and made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty's entry into China.

After that, he also gave objective affirmation to his achievements, probably the youngest and most courageous son of the clan.

More than 200 words were used, which is basically in line with the facts, and some places have done some artistic processing, which is not contrary to harmony.

For the current emperor Qianlong, there is not a word in the text.

This is called taking a firm stand.

It is also to cater to the needs of the color uncle and his party.

Finally, some prospects for how the queen of hats will work.

It's just that there is no description of the transformation process of his sudden change from Jia Jia to Aixin in the article, as if everything was destined.

This makes this article lack flesh and bone.

There's no way, Jia Liu, he can't cry either.

After writing, I read it carefully from beginning to end, and the more I read, the more I felt that my literary style had surpassed Pan An, and I couldn't help but be complacent.

Blowing it, ready to fold it up and put it in his pocket for afternoon use, at this time, the old man of the official department came in in with a panicked face, and whispered: "E, the news from the secret service department, the backbone of the rich party, Iltu, Niu Lunbao, Fu Ming'an and others are discussing in the thatched house, and there seems to be a big matter." ”

The sources are reliable, and the imperial guards who are responsible for the security of the Zongren Mansion include those who are on duty in the pro-army, and they all have the downline of the development of the secret service.

The news of the rich party's conspiracy in the thatched house came from a clothed Su La, who was in charge of cleaning the bathroom, and his real identity was Su La.

"Only the governor is allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps?"

Jia Liu thought that he liked to talk about big things in the bathroom, but he didn't think so, and chuckled, "What big things can the rich party plot, they won't turn the table now." ”

Let Lao Ah not worry about the sky, as long as he is old and rich and still wants to help his godson, the sky will not fall.

It is estimated that he may be thinking about how to snipe the six sons and virtuous brothers to be elected as the hat king.

Let Lao Ah continue to go out and carry out his work, and be sure to win more neutral votes.

In the face of absolute strength, there is nowhere to hide any conspiracy and trickery.

When it came to the meal here, because there were arrangements in the afternoon, the princes and ministers attending the meeting did not go home for dinner, so the Zongren Mansion arranged a box lunch.

Three meat and two vegetarian dishes.

Jia Liu didn't dislike it, so he ate it directly.

While eating, Queenie came again, and said with the same nervous face that Fu Zhongtang was probably plotting to get a forehead, and I hope that the forehead should not be taken lightly, and it is necessary to make some targeted deployments, so as not to be caught off guard suddenly.

"The security work of the Zongren Mansion is the responsibility of Prince An's people, and if Fu Zhongtang really wants to do it, I have to see if Prince An agrees first."

Similarly, Jia Liu also thinks that Queenie is making a big fuss, and he is sure that it is impossible for the old rich to make trouble in Uncle Se's territory, he doesn't have the strength or guts.

"Don't panic, don't panic, don't hurry, don't hurry."

After giving Queenie the sixteen-character mantra, Jia Liu continued to eat, and the chicken leg was only halfway gnawed, and Lao Ah came again.

As soon as he came in, he hurriedly said: "E, go home quickly, otherwise your father and brother will be arrested by the rich party!" ”

"Huh?"

The chicken leg in Jia Liu's hand fell to the ground, and the look of shock was obvious.

Queenie panicked when he heard this: "Xia Guan immediately went to arrange to strengthen the guards of the mansion, no matter what, he can't let the rich thief succeed."

As he spoke, he had already rushed to the door, more anxious than anyone else.

Behind him, there was a shout: "Stop! ”

Queenie stood up in response, and looked back puzzled, good fellow, his forehead was full of spring breeze, his face was happy, and he said very excitedly: "What do you add, go, remove all the guards of my family!" ”

"Nani?"

Lao Ah and Lao Kui were shocked at the same time, looking incredulous.

"No, forehead, the rich thief wants to arrest your father and your brother!"

Queenie needs to remind him that this matter is very important, and that Lao Tzu and his younger brother are going to fall into the hands of the rich party, and you are at your disposal.

Lao Ah also hurriedly posted.

But the forehead didn't say anything, just tore off the white sleeves lined with the lining, and wrote a few big words on it with a pen - "Avenge your father!" ”

After writing, he tied his forehead without waiting for the ink to dry, and his eyes showed a fierce light: "Spread my words, all my soldiers are dressed in linen, all of them wear filial piety, capture Fulhun alive, and bombard the Forbidden City!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Eun Ming came.

came secretly, and as soon as he entered the door, he was shocked by Lord Jia Jia, who was full of murderous anger and tied a cloth on his forehead, and muttered: "My lord is well-informed enough, but this matter was persuaded by my Amma." ”

"Persuaded?"

Jia Liuru was deflated, sneered at the wipe on his forehead, and muttered in a low voice: "The old rich are all good, but they are not decisive enough, how can this kind of thing be persuaded by others, it is simply the benevolence of women!" ”
