With the opening of the noon gate of the imperial city, the original noise, commotion and controversy in the entire square have disappeared, replaced by silence, tension, and anticipation.

"After three rounds of election of three hundred and sixty-nine ministers, the first parliament of the Ming Empire was finally selected, and seven members of the parliament were finally selected, the list is as follows!"

Goo

Although he didn't bet, at this moment, Liu Ding was still so nervous that his mouth and teeth dried up, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

And Xiong Er, who bet a penny of silver on the side, was already sweating.

At this time, the entire Wumen Square, tonight the onlookers were present, and only the sound of breathing was left.

"Chief Archon of the Ming Empire, Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses, one of the Seven Councillors, Chief Councillor, Wang Qi!"

Really!

As soon as Wang Qi's name came out, almost everyone in the entire square subconsciously relaxed their fists, and then there was a buzzing discussion: Qi Guogong really became a great councilor, but what does this empire mean? Is it the Emperor's Country?

"What do you mean by chief?" Xiong Er scratched his head.

"From Tang Zhang Jiuling's "Shinto Tablet Inscription Preface", the chief: the most noble!" Although he didn't even win a show in the cold window for ten years, Liu Ding still knew what the chief meant, and licked his dry lips, Liu Ding felt that he had come all the way from his hometown in Pei County to the capital, and he had made the right bet!

The emperor is gone, and since then, the seven parliamentarians have ruled the world together, and the scientific society has flourished, maybe people like themselves can really get ahead?

"Father, mother, you are waiting for the day when I return home!"

Clenching his fists tightly, Liu Ding swore that one day he would make a break out here!

In the noon square, when everyone was thinking differently, the herald had already continued to read out the list of electors.

"Deputy Consul of the Ming Empire, Minister of Finance, one of the Seven Councillors, Second Parliamentarian, Ye Xianggao!"

"Deputy Consul of the Ming Empire, Minister of the Criminal Division, one of the Seven Councillors, Grand Councillor, Sun Chengzong!"

"One of the seven members of the Ming Empire, Minister of Science and Technology, and Councillor, Xu Guangqi!"

"One of the seven councilors of the Ming Empire, the Minister of Engineering, the chief councilor, Wang Huazhen!"

"One of the seven members of the Ming Empire, Minister of Development and Reform, and Lu Yu!"

"One of the seven councillors of the Ming Empire, the Minister of Royal Affairs, the chief councilor, Wang Tiqian!"

"In this election, there will be one chief consul, two deputy consuls, seven chief councilors and ministers, and a total of fifty senators from the provinces to discuss the state of the country!"

"There is also a parliamentary declaration, engraved on the gold plaque, three days later in the Chengtianmen Square melting, all times, please go and see!"

"The list of candidates for senators in each province will be posted at noon tomorrow, and at the same time, it will be announced by Yuma in all state capitals, and you are also requested to supervise, verify, and report on behalf of you, so as to correct your name!"

With the release of the declaration of the members of Wumen and the release of the latest parliamentary list, the entire Wumen Square began to boil, and soon spread throughout the whole city of Beijing, and then towards the Gyeonggi region, towards the northern provinces, and towards the farther place.

"The Ming Dynasty has begun a new era," Liu Ding stood in the crowd in a daze, looking at the tall imperial city, and his heart was surging.

"My money, my money!" Xiong Er was also in tears at the moment, but he was not for the opening of the new deal, but because of his own money: "What is his mother's Wei Yuanwei?" My penny is gone! ”

————

At this time, in the Taihe Palace, the applause lasted for a long time.

"Congratulations to the Duke of Qi Guo, who should be the consul," Ye Xianggao, Sun Chengzong and others all stepped forward to congratulate Wang Qi.

"Chief Consul, the old man searched through the Tang and Song Dynasty scriptures before he found Zhang Jiuling's "Preface to the Inscription of the Shinto Tablet", and named it this way," Sun Chengzong stroked his beard with his hand, looking quite complacent.

After all, wouldn't it be a great joy in life if, a hundred years later, the words of the chief consul could be passed down forever?

"Congratulations to Guogong!"

"Congratulations to Grandpa Guo!"

The rest of the officials in the hall all stepped forward to congratulate, and for a while, Wang Qi was surrounded by water.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Wang Qi arched his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"After the parliamentary election, the old government is extinguished," Wang Qi looked around at everyone: "The old noble titles have all been abolished, and from now on, there will be neither the Duke of Qi nor the Governor of the Five Armies, only the Chief Consul!" ”

As soon as Wang Qi's words came out, everyone in the hall was stunned, but the quick reaction was to bow down, and at the same time say loudly: "Meet the chief lord." ”

Coincidentally, the rest of the people also hurriedly bowed.

The movements of hundreds of people in the hall, Wang Qi standing on the high platform, have a full view.

They were stunned for a moment, shocked by Wang Qi's determination to abolish the interests of the Xungui group so quickly;

is also hesitating, can the newly established House of Representatives be able to oppose the Xungui group that has been deeply rooted in the land of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years and has retired with the country?

At this time, Ye Xianggao and Sun Chengzong glanced at each other, all worried.

Today's declaration has made it very clear that there is no principality, except for the emperor Zhu Youxiao, the rest of the world's nobles will be abolished, and the extra acres of land in the world need to be measured anew, and at the same time, the people, the people, the feudal state, the minerals, and the taxes of the Xungui group will be collected and put into the national treasury, so that the newly established parliament will completely break with the noble forces.

The Chief Consul's methods are so tough that if one is not careful, the meritorious group may backfire on the revolution.

From this point of view, the House of Representatives has a long way to go.

Knock knock knock!!

As the Shin clock rings,

The first day of the parliamentary meeting was over, and on the next six days, there were agendas such as worshipping the heavens, telling the people, and communicating with the councillors, so most of the officials returned to their homes at the end of the Shen Shi to recuperate and wait for the work of the meeting in the next few days.

That night, the Archon's Office.

During the day, the six consuls elected in the Taihe Hall came to visit at this time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you feel anything about today?" Wang Qi sat behind the table, gently blowing Hai Lanzhu's freshly brewed wolfberry chrysanthemum tea.

"Alas," Ye Xianggao smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said: "As soon as the old man returned to the mansion, a letter was sent from the students of the old days, in which he said that the battle between the new deal and the nobles may affect the people at the bottom, and yes, the people's grievances are boiling!" ”

When Wang Qi heard this, he chuckled, but he didn't show any mercy when he spoke: "The people mentioned by the students under Ye Xiangmen's sect are probably maggots, fly eggs, locusts and the like that parasitize on Xungui's carrion!" ”

"And the reason why the new policy of the House of Representatives cracked down on the nobles and abolished the royal offerings was to divide the acres of land with the people of the world according to the people, and collect the taxes that the House should collect according to the people, instead of all the foolish accounts, which are carried by the poor people, and all the wealth, oil and water are taken by the nobles! As I said, overkill must be overcorrected, but correctness cannot be overkill! ”

"If the noble forces really unite, can there be a countermeasure?" Sun Chengzong leaned over and asked.

"If it gets to that point. Then I, the generalissimo of the empire, will have a place for the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in my hands! Wang Qi put the teacup on the table, grinning, murderous.
