After the words of the prince fell, everyone in the hall unconsciously sat up straight and looked at the twenty-two Xia Shi on this table.

At this moment, many people are turning their minds in their hearts, will this time the scholars choose one of these four scholars to serve as the new Xia Shi, or will they not choose any of them as they have done in the past few years?

Although just a Xia Shi doesn't seem to have much impact, in fact, every time there is one more Xia Shi, the layout of the capital hall will change a little more.

Because every Xia Shi has the right to give upward advice, and all Xia Shi should defend his rights, which is also to defend themselves, so they can be regarded as both an individual and a whole.

When these influential people are united, it is conceivable how much influence will be, and when it comes to the fundamental interests of the Metropolitan Protectorate, many reasonable advice will be seriously considered and implemented.

Of course, this is also caused by the unique pattern and environment of Dongting. After all, the Metropolitan Protectorate only has a population of three million, one-third of which is concentrated in Ruiguang City, and there are fewer upper and lower levels, so they can quickly communicate and deal with problems, and if the affairs of Ruiguang City are straightened out, there will be no problem in the entire Metropolitan Protectorate, but if it is above the Tianxia mainland, then this is not the case.

Xu Wenyue and the other three were worried at this time, they knew that they had little hope, but they still had the expectation of what happened.

Yang Ying sat there, feeling a little nervous inexplicably.

At this moment, some people secretly observed Zhang Yu, as if they wanted to see something from his expression, but they found that he was indifferent and behaved very naturally, without any unusual expression, as if they didn't care about the gains and losses.

The footsteps sounded, and two platoons of soldiers walked up from the field, and walked in front of those Tianxia men one by one, and they all held a lacquer plate with a black background and a red face, in which were placed the best pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

This is to ask the scholars to write down what they think is the right person, and to write down the reasons for their choice, and these will be included in the cover file for future generations to read, as in the previous records.

The moment Xia Shi was waiting to take the pen and paper, his expression became serious.

All of them can be said to be people who have maintained their reputations all their lives, so they will never joke about their reputation and the name behind them in this matter, and each of them is serious and rigorous when writing the pen, and will consider and consider.

Half a moment later, everyone wrote it, and then handed it over to a scribe, who then sent it to the two eldest people here, Guo Gong and Yu Gong.

In addition, the two elders put on glasses, took a copy of the name book and looked at it carefully, and each time they saw it, they would write their names underneath, stamp their own name seals, and then pass them on, and give everyone a look.

And every Xia Shi who received it, after reading it carefully, would also sign and stamp on it.

After the twenty-two Xia Shi present read these famous books in turn, they all had a clear answer to this selection of scholars in their hearts, and everyone looked at the situation and the rest of the two, waiting for the two to announce the results.

Gong Guo glanced at Yu Gong and said, "You say or do I say?"

Yu Gong stroked his beard, glanced at him, and said, "I've said so much, why are you still humbly conceding this with me at this time?" ”

Guo Gong nodded, he tidied up his clothes, stood up, first shook at the top of the seat, then turned around, and said, "I have discussed with the princes, and the selection of candidates has been decided. ”

Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath slightly, waiting for him to tell the result.

Guo Gong looked at the four people in the electoral seat, and finally fixed his eyes on Zhang Yu, and said, "Zhang Jun, please come forward." ”

Hearing this, Xu Wenyue's expressions were gloomy and lost.

Zhang Yu stood up from his seat, straightened his clothes a little, and stepped forward, and he walked down the wide aisle to the scholars, and stood on the seat facing the main seat of the Great Hall.

At this time, Gong Gong slowly raised his hand, put his hands together, bowed his hand to him, and said in a righteous voice: "Huaide is a scholar, a merit is a scholar, and a famous scholar! Zhang Shijiao, now I am a scholar of the Eastern Court, and I should accept you as a person of Tianxia! May you live up to your fame and virtue and live up to the people!"

After saying that, give him a snort.

At this moment, all the Xia Shi on both sides stood up, put their hands together, leaned forward slightly with their upper bodies, and shook him in unison.

Zhang Yu stood in place, also raised his sleeves, and clasped his hands.

At this moment, in the big hall, the big sleeves are fluttering, the jade chapter is clear, and at a glance it is all the clothes of Tianxia, the gift of Tianxia, the wind of the mighty Tianxia, and the heart of Sixia is also spontaneously born.

Looking at this scene, many people have complicated eyes. For 60 years, many people in the prefecture have tried to push the prefecture to stand on its own, but many have been hesitant in their hearts, except for those who are truly subversive.

Yang Ying was extremely excited to see it, and clenched her little fist tightly.

An Youting watched silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xu Wenyue and the three of them looked at each other, and for some reason, they were relieved at this moment.

Yu Gong sighed at this time: "It's a pity, there is no joy in being polite, after all, there is something missing." ”

He couldn't help but think of the mighty drums and bells that sounded in the palace when he was teaching the priests seventy-seven years ago, and now that the bells and drums were there, there were no more people who could play these instruments.

The situation is fair: "If there is fame and courtesy, it will be no big problem if you lose elegance and happiness." He looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Zhang Jun, all my Tianxia people have the "Jade Seal of Scholars" as a courtesy, and they should ponder and engrave the seal for Zhang Jun later. ”

Yu Gong sighed: "The seal of Xia Shi needs to use green jade, which was brought by the ancestors from Tianxia back then, and there is no other place, and it is only used now, and it is only enough for Zhang Jun. ”

If you become a Tianxia scholar, you can shout "Shijun", but in addition to the detailed records in the capital palace, this civil lord must also have a green jade carved seal as his own jade.

This thing is only available in Tianxia native, and if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't choose a Xia Shi for decades, he would have run out a long time ago.

Now the remaining palm of green jade is just enough to be used as Zhang Yu's gift jade, and if you come down, although the Duhu Mansion can also choose a scholar, but there is no such thing, and when you go to Tianxia Mainland, no one will admit it. Unless this person's reputation and merit are particularly high, it is possible for the Tianxia Rite Department to make up for him, but this situation is almost impossible.

At this time, another gray-haired old man walked over, smiled gently, and said, "Zhang Jun's name seal, let me carve it, and please wait for a while." ”

It is not easy to carve green jade, because this jade is almost indestructible, and you have to work this jade, and you have a set of special skills and tools, which are the same as the green jade itself, and you are also free to grasp the hands of these Xia Shi.

Zhang Yu clasped his hands together and said, "Dare to ask the name of the elder?"

The old man immediately replied: "Old man Huaiyi." ”

Zhang Yudao: "Then it will be annoying to Huaigong." ”

Huai Gong smiled, turned his head and said to the scribe in the distance: "I need to borrow a side hall for use." ”

The scribe immediately bowed, made a gesture of please, and said, "Huai Gong also invites this side." ”

Huai Gong followed it into the side hall, and after a while, he heard the sound of Zheng Zheng jade in the room, like a spring water dingdong, and like a mountain stream stream, clear and pleasant, back to the inside and outside.

After this breath sounded for about half a moment, Huai Gong walked out of it, holding a cyan jade medal with a red silk cloth in his hand, and when he arrived in front of Zhang Yu, he solemnly handed it over, and said: "Zhang Jun, Jun's gift jade is here, please take it." ”

Zhang Yu raised his hands and took the green jade chapter, he took it to observe, the texture of this green jade is different from ordinary jade, the color is pure and flawless, the view is a touch of azure, the touch is warm and condensed, the upper button is a green cicada, in turn is Zhu Wen inscribed, with his own name and Shijun embellishment.

He looked at it for a moment, just like all the scholars, this jade pendant was hanging on his body.

When Gong Guo and the others saw that he had brought the jade seal, they said, "Zhang Jun, please go back to your seat." ”

Zhang Yu turned his gaze, walked to the left seat, and stood on the seat that had long been vacant a little back.

At this time, all the gentlemen also returned to their seats, and after bowing with dignity, they all sat down.

Zhang Yu also sat down at the table, and from this moment on, until the end of the council, he had the power to propose to the Metropolitan Protectorate various things such as governance, inspection, regulation, abolition and reform, and etiquette.

At this time, Liu Fengquan, the acting officer, took a document that had already been written by the scribe, and he read it and saw that there were no mistakes or omissions, so he signed and signed on it, which can be regarded as an explanation and testimony of today's events.

After stamping the seal, he handed the clerk back with his hand, then looked at all the Xia Shi in the big hall, and said loudly: "Zhugong, since there are already electors, the discussion should continue, but I don't know what suggestions the Zhugong has?"

Guo Gong thought about it at this time, looked back at Zhang Yu, and said politely: "Zhang Jun, I don't know if you have any suggestions?"

As a Xia Shi, Zhang Yu also has the qualifications to make suggestions, but usually people who have just become Xia Shi will not make any suggestions out of caution.

And generally speaking, if the scholars make any requests to the capital, they will also try to communicate briefly with the capital before that, so as to better solve the problem and prevent the two sides from falling into endless confrontation and quarrels.

Therefore, Guo Gong only asked out of respect for Zhang Yu.

However, Zhang Yu was not polite, he nodded and said: "The emperor does have a matter that needs to be submitted to the Metropolitan Protectorate. ”

Gong was slightly stunned.

Zhang Yu stood up, he took a few steps forward, came to the middle aisle of the Great Council Hall again and stood still, turned around and faced upwards, raised his sleeves, clasped his hands, and said: "Imperial petition, retry the case of the fire in the Xiuwen Academy four years ago!"
