Chapter 357: Voting
Following.
Before dawn, the civil and military officials got up early to wash, then dressed neatly, went out to get into the carriage, and then drove in the direction of the palace.
Two days have passed since that shocking change, and the imperial palace, which has been reduced to ruins, has re-established itself in this Tai'an City.
Compared to the ruins outside the palace that have not yet been cleared, one has to marvel at the fact that this is nothing short of a construction miracle.
The civil and military officials entered the noon gate, crossed the Jinshui River, and then walked all the way to the direction of the Taihe Palace.
At this moment, Wang Jinghui has long lost the sorrow of yesterday, and the whole person looks extremely relaxed, as if he has expected everything that will happen in the court today, and he can even nod his head and greet the officials around him with a smile.
In the crowd, Jiang Shunjie looked at this scene and frowned slightly.
Wang Jinghui and Huo Yu's expressions looked as if everything was in order, could it be that they had already thought of something to do it?
It's just that there is only one throne, but both of them show a relaxed look, could they still think of how to divide the throne in two?
Even if they thought of a way, how could Wei Lianyi stand by and let things develop?
What's more, as Wei Lianyi's person, if the new monarch is elected from the eldest prince and the second prince, then he will inevitably usher in a reckoning.
Naturally, this is something he absolutely cannot accept.
He couldn't help but be a little curious about Wang Jinghui and Huo Yu's way of coping.
Thinking of what Wei Lianyi summoned him over last night and then said to him, Jiang Shunjie's face couldn't help but be a little strange.
It seems that today's court will probably be very lively.
The civil and military officials came all the way to the Taihe Palace, and then they each stood in their own positions, waiting for the arrival of the personnel.
About half a pillar of incense passed, all the civil and military officials were present, and the eldest prince, the second prince, and Wei Lianyi wearing filial piety clothes also came to the Taihe Palace.
"Ahem."
Wang Jinghui climbed all the way to the high platform, stood in front of the throne, looked around and said loudly: "It has been two days since the death of the first emperor, and the position of the new monarch has been undecided, and the old minister is very worried. ”
"The first emperor defended the country of Great Wei with his life, but above the court, he fell into a dispute because of the position of the new monarch."
"If the first emperor knows about it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to look at."
"Everyone, a day has passed, have you ever thought of a good plan to elect a new monarch from the eldest prince, the second prince, and the third princess?"
After Wang Jinghui finished speaking, the entire Taihe Hall fell into a short silence, and then began to make noise like a vegetable market.
Wei Lianyi just watched all this coldly, and did not take the lead in speaking.
The court itself was controlled by Wang Jinghui and Huo Yu, and the proposals given by the people below were nothing more than their instructions in advance.
It's just that she's also very curious about what kind of way they'll come up with to give her side a strong position in this competition.
"Smack!"
"Silence!"
After a moment of arguing, a father-in-law in the hall slammed a long whip on the ground, and the noisy scene in the hall finally quieted down.
Yin Xuchun, who is a squire in the military department, stood up at this moment, and then said loudly:
"Lord Shoufu, in order to avoid the delay in the position of the new monarch, the lower officials have thought of a way, and I would like to ask everyone present to show me."
Seeing that the first person to stand up was Yin Xuchun, Wei Lianyi couldn't help but be stunned.
Yin Xuchun is Huo Yu's person, he was the first to stand up, could it be said that Huo Yu and Wang Jinghui have also reached some kind of cooperation in secret?
She looked at Yin Xuchun for a long time, and couldn't help but wonder what plan they had come up with after discussing it for a day yesterday.
Wang Jinghui's eyes flashed with a gleam, and then said with a smile: "Lord Yin, but it doesn't matter, if it can help to elect a new monarch, then Lord Yin can be regarded as sharing the worries of the emperor!" ”
Facing the eyes of everyone in the court, Yin Xuchun said loudly: "The method that Xia Guan thought of is actually very simple. ”
"Since the eldest prince, the second prince, and the third princess are all interested in the throne, then hold a vote in this court."
"Each of the civil and military officials present here has a vote in their hands, and each elects the prince or princess he likes."
"Because the people who are eligible to vote are the three princes, so today is the primary election, and the two people with the most votes among the three will be elected by the court, and then there will be another election in the morning tomorrow to elect the person with the most votes, and he can succeed to the position of the Son of Heaven."
"I wonder what you think?"
After listening to Yin Xuchun's words, the corners of Wei Lianyi's mouth couldn't help but flash a sneer.
Yin Xuchun's proposal can be said to be directly aimed at her.
What is the civil and military officials in the court to vote and elect two people first?
She is in the court, but there is only one person, Jiang Shunjie, and she has not had time to develop other people for her own use.
In other words, this vote will kick her out first, and then return to the situation where the eldest prince and the second prince compete for the throne.
Wang Jinghui's gaze swept over the civil and military officials, and then said, "I don't know what you think, what do you think of Lord Yin's proposal?" ”
"The lower officials are in favor!"
"The lower officials are in favor!"
"The lower officials are in favor!"
"This method is good, and the lower officials also approve of it!"
“.”
For a while, the civil and military officials in the court came out one after another to echo at this moment, obviously the two sides had been ventilated yesterday, and now they are just reproducing the content of the ventilated in the court.
And both the civil and military factions agreed, and that was almost the majority of the voices in the court.
Obviously, Wang Jinghui and Huo Yu are preparing to kick Wei Lianyi out first, and then start the final battle.
"Ahem."
Wang Jinghui coughed lightly, and then said: "Since most of the officials in the court agree to elect a new monarch by voting, then."
It's just that before he could finish speaking, Wei Lianyi had already cast a look at Jiang Shunjie.
At this time, it is definitely not a good time for her to speak, Jiang Shunjie is her best mouthpiece.
Jiang Shunjie sighed lightly in his heart, and then his face turned horizontal, obviously looking open.
"Slow!"
Jiang Shun stood out, and then said loudly.
For a while, everyone in the court looked at him in unison at this moment.
Wang Jinghui and Huo Yu below glanced at each other, and a trace of essence flashed in their eyes.
"Lord Jiang, now that most of the people in the court have agreed to elect a new monarch by voting, why are you interfering with the election of the new monarch?"
Wang Jinghui's face was angry, and he said in a deep voice: "Do you want to deliberately let the position of the Son of Heaven hang high, and then cause the Great Wei to fall apart?" ”
No matter what you want to say, put on the hat first, this is obviously beating Jiang Shunjie.
With the power of one person, how can you affect the panic in the court?
Jiang Shunjie didn't give in at all: "Lord Shoufu, you also said before, let the civil and military officials speak freely, and find a way to elect a new monarch as soon as possible." ”
"The lower officials have a good plan, they don't even need to wait until tomorrow, it only takes half an hour to decide the candidate for the new king."
Wang Jinghui said in a deep voice: "Then please tell me about Lord Jiang, is there any way to make everyone here elect a new monarch in half an hour." ”
Now most of the people in the court are people from both sides, and with both sides reaching a brief cooperation, what if Jiang Shunjie comes up with a great idea?
As long as people on both sides of them don't approve of it, then even if you are white, you can paint it as black.
Jiang Shunjie said: "Before the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, all parts of Kyushu were princes coexisting, dividing and conquering. ”
"The ancestor emperor went north from Yunzhou, swept all the way to Bahe, and established the Great Wei."
"It is precisely because the ancestor emperor has the cultivation of the heavens and latitudes that he can unify Kyushu, establish this great Wei, and inherit it for five hundred years."
"For the Great Wei, which established the country by force, how the Son of Heaven cultivates will be related to the stability of the Great Wei country."
"According to the opinion of the lower officials, since the Great Wei established the country by force, it should follow the fine tradition of this ancestor emperor to fight the world."
"Since the position of the new monarch is undecided, if you want to elect a new monarch, you will do it in the form of a competition."
"The eldest prince, the second prince, and the third princess will compete for each other, and the final winner will succeed to the throne!"
"You don't have to wait until tomorrow, you can elect a new king in half an hour."
"I wonder what everyone here thinks?"
Wow!
Jiang Shunjie's words immediately caused an uproar in the court.
No one expected that Jiang Shunjie's proposal would be so simple and rude.
In the form of a competition, choose the last new king?
The eldest prince Wei Zongyuan and the second prince Wei Zongyue were stunned, and the two looked at each other, and their faces couldn't help but be a little sneering.
Wei Lianyi has now been promoted to the Hidden Dragon Realm, but the two of them are still martial artists in the Fish Leaping Realm.
If the new monarch is really selected by competition, then even if the two of them go together, they are not Wei Lianyi's opponents
Just like Wang Jinghui and Huo Yu thought of the same method, what they wanted was to kick Wei Lianyi out first.
And the method that Wei Lianyi came up with was even more simple and rude, which was to directly force the two of them out of the game, and then succeed to the throne himself.
"Smack!"
"Silence!"
The father-in-law once again held a long whip and slammed it on the main hall, shouting loudly.
Wang Jinghui said in a deep voice: "It is certainly a good proposal to elect a new monarch by means of martial arts, but for the three princes, the sword has no eyes, and it is inevitable that there will be the possibility of accidental injury." ”
"The bones of the first emperor are not cold, if the three princes are injured in order to compete for the throne, wouldn't it chill the heart of the first emperor?"
"Not bad."
Huo Yu also echoed: "Back then, the ancestor emperor really needed to rely on force to fight the world, but now that the Great Wei has been founded for many years, it is the time to defend the country, and force cannot solve all problems. ”
"Definitely."
Jiang Shunjie shook his head and said loudly: "If the emperor has absolute force, how can any thief dare to rebel?" ”
"If the first emperor turned his hands to quell this rebellion, how could there be three princes vying for the throne in the court?"
"Now that the traitor White Tiger has commanded Song Jingfu to defeat the first emperor and escape, who dares to guarantee when he will make a comeback?"
Hearing the words of Song Jingfu, the hearts of the civil and military officials present sank.
As Jiang Shunjie said, if Song Jingfu makes a comeback, will the Great Wei, which has just suffered a great chaos, still be able to resist it?
Now that the former emperor has died, there is no one in the Great Wei who is Song Jingfu's opponent.
Seeing that everyone fell silent, Jiang Shunjie took advantage of the situation and said: "In the eyes of the lower officials, only absolute force can make the Great Wei country stable. ”
"What do you think?"
"The lower official agrees to this!"
At this moment, a neutral official in the court finally stood up.
Then a second official stood up and said loudly: "The lower officials also agree!" ”
Obviously, they also realized this, if Song Jingfu made a comeback, then the Great Wei still could not escape the possibility of being overturned.
Wei Lianyi has already shown good combat power, and he will have more opportunities to wrestle with Song Jingfu in the future.
If one of the eldest prince and one of the second princes succeeds to the throne, it may be that the two of them have not grown up, and Song Jingfu has already destroyed the Great Wei.
Seeing that the court chose a neutral side, and chose to side with Wei Lianyi at this moment, Wang Jinghui and Huo Yu's faces were unusually ugly.
They thought that Wei Lianyi might launch a counterattack, but they didn't expect her counterattack to be so simple and rude.
Deciding the new monarch by means of a competition, looking at the more than 500 years since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, it is also the first time.
The two of them hadn't thought about how to deal with this, so they were naturally a little overwhelmed.
Wang Jinghui sighed lightly in his heart, and then said: "Since the second method has appeared in the court, then you should go back and think about it first, and see which method is better, and today's early dynasty will end here." ”
"The matter of electing a new monarch will be put on hold for the time being, and we will discuss it tomorrow and retire from the dynasty!"
Seeing Wang Jinghui's panicked end to this early dynasty, Wei Lianyi couldn't help but flash a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Watching the civil and military officials walk out of the Taihe Hall separately, Wei Lianyi muttered in his heart: "This good show has just begun." ”
After she left the palace, she walked all the way in the direction of Zhenwuji.
In the living room of Zhenfu Mansion, she saw the four Su Yu people waiting here.
"Your Excellency."
The four of Su Yu, who were chatting, saw Wei Lianyi's return, hurriedly stopped chatting, got up and said respectfully.
"Hmm."
Wei Lianyi bowed, and then said, "There is nothing else to do, everyone should go back and get busy." ”
"Yes!"
Su Yu and the four of them responded, then turned around and walked out.
"By the way, Su Yu, the official still has something to do with you, you go to the study with the official."
Su Yu paused, and under the puzzled gaze of Liang Yuxuan and the others, he turned back and followed Wei Lianyi in the direction of the study.
"How's it going?"
Su Yu came to the study and asked with a smile.
He was also a little curious, how stunned the civil and military officials in the court would be when they heard that they were going to elect a new monarch by means of martial arts competition.
"Hmph, two old foxes."
Wei Lianyi sneered, and then told Su Yu about the way Wang Jinghui and the others thought of voting for the new monarch.
After listening to this method of voting, Su Yu couldn't help but be secretly happy, and said with a smile: "It seems that both of them think that you are a big trouble now." ”
Wei Lianyi said: "As for how to spread the news in the court, it's up to you next." ”
Su Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, within half a day, I guarantee that the entire Tai'an City will know about this matter, and the court may not support you at that time, but the people and warriors of the entire Tai'an City will definitely think that you are the most suitable person to succeed the emperor." ”
At this time, the importance of the mouthpiece becomes crucial.
It can incite public opinion, so that many things that do not exist in the future, when they are widely circulated, gradually evolve into iron laws, and even conclusive things.
Once the way of electing a new monarch in the court is spread, and the eldest prince and the second prince dare not fight, and in the end, the third princess Wei Lianyi does not let the women have eyebrows, and she is a rare empress.
As the mouthpiece fanned the flames among the people, Wei Lianyi's reputation gradually became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
At that time, even the civil and military officials in the court have to weigh whether they still want to go against the will of the people.
Even if they forcibly turn a blind eye to public opinion, there is absolutely no way to ignore this force.
They are no longer dealing with Wei Lianyi alone, but against the people of the world.
When the people of the world believe that Wei Lianyi should succeed to the throne, the competition in the court will become more and more complicated.
However, Su Yu also knew very well that just by fanning public opinion, it was estimated that there would be no way for Wei Lianyi to succeed to the throne.
Wei Lianyi's opponent is still a civil and military official in the court.
Only when they are all done will Wei Lianyi's ascension to the throne be a matter of course.
However, he didn't think of a better way, and at present, he could only make Wei Lianyi as invincible as possible.
Wei Lianyi bowed his head and said, "Well, then this matter will be handed over to you." “
"My lord, then I will resign from my humble position."
Su Yu clenched his fists and bowed, then turned to leave.
He still had to go back and take the Mud Pill Pill to impact the Soul Palace Realm, so he didn't have time to delay.
Looking at the back of Su Yu leaving, Wei Lianyi's eyes flashed, and he muttered: "Wang Jinghui, Huo Yu, I want to see how you should deal with it."
