The nobles were divided into two factions, and the conference room was suddenly filled with the smell of gunpowder. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAfter an earl who had not yet voted in favor of Count Yunruifeng, the number of votes in favor of the viscount was narrowed from thirty to twenty-seven.

"Yun Hou, you haven't voted yet, have you? What title is Yun Hou in favor of?" Shang Chaodong looked at Yun Feiyang and said.

Yun Feiyang hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "I agree with Viscount Feng, after all, Yun Rui is too young, if I approve of Count Feng, wouldn't I be suspected of favoritism?" ”

Everyone couldn't imagine that Yun Feiyang was also in favor of being a viscount, and he didn't want to show favoritism. Suddenly, many people were disdainful in their hearts, you don't have long eyes, you fired Yun Rui out, and now you want to suppress him, but you say it so nicely, are you an idiot to be someone else?

Of course, Yun Feiyang wanted to suppress Yun Rui, and he estimated that Yun Rui would not return, since this was the case, it was better to prevent him from being made an earl. The same is a noble, the earl is a second rank, and the viscount is only a third rank, and there are differences in treatment in all aspects.

The number of votes in favor of the Viscount was suddenly led to thirty-one votes by Yun Feiyang's four votes. Now Yun Feiyang has affirmed that Yun Rui can't seal the earl. Even the remaining four people were all in favor of being made earl, and there were only twenty votes. Viscount Yunruifeng is a foregone conclusion.

However, there are still several important people who have not voted, and whether the outcome is a foregone conclusion or not, the process that should be followed still has to be completed.

"Zhiyong Palace, Renxin Palace, now it's the turn of the two Highnesses. Shang Chaodong said a little helplessly.

Seeing that he couldn't wait any longer, Prince Zhiyong Li Luo cast his five votes, of course, in favor of Earl Yunruifeng. Li Han, the prince of Renxin, was an easy-going young man, who had always been the only one who looked after Li Luo, and also followed Li Luo to vote five times.

This was followed by the Speaker Baron Rong Changxin, whose five votes were also in favor of making him an earl. In the end, Shang Chaodong's five votes were still in favor of being the earl.

Everyone was a little stunned, all the twenty votes of the four people just now were in favor of the earl. So far, those in favor of the title of viscount are only eleven votes ahead. But there is no suspense anymore, and Viscount Yun Ruifeng is a foregone conclusion.

Li Luo couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Shang Chaodong also sighed secretly, the matter has come to this point, and he can only announce the result.

At this moment, suddenly a guard came in and said, "Everyone, please stand up, Your Majesty has arrived." As soon as the words came out, everyone stood up, and at the same time they were all thinking: "Why did Your Majesty suddenly come? Is it also to participate in the voting?" You must know that the emperor's status is extremely noble, and in order to dominate the arbitration power, he actually rarely participates in the voting of a certain matter.

Li Ming was as angry and self-righteous as ever, but his complexion was not very good, and his face was much thinner, and he slowly entered the Fangyuan Pavilion surrounded by several guards.

"Your Majesty has seen Your Majesty!" Everyone bowed deeply together, and it was the highest bow of 90 degrees.

"Let's be even. Li Ming said lightly, his hands raised slightly.

Everyone straightened up together and said in unison, "Your Majesty!"

Li Ming didn't sit in the chair seat given by Shang Chaodong, but just stood there and looked at the voting records, and said straight to the point: "I came out to relax, passed by here, and came to vote casually." ”

Everyone trembled in their hearts, the emperor really came to participate in the vote, as for which side he supported, it is unknown. However, the emperor's participation in the vote, no matter which side he supports, has great political implications. It's definitely not as simple as agreeing with Yun Ruifeng's title.

Everyone is an old oilman in officialdom, and it is not difficult to guess Samadhi as long as you think about it carefully. If the emperor is in favor of making the viscount, then it is obviously dissatisfied with the prime minister, the speaker, Shangguan Ding and others, after all, the prime minister and the speaker are responsible for negligence in this coup, and he wants to use this matter to hint to his subordinates to change the prime minister.

If he is in favor of being made an earl, it means that he will not only support the Prime Minister and the Speaker as always, but will also reflect his dissatisfaction with the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Because Mei Xiaohan and Sheng Jing and others are usually called the second cabinet, it is not a day or two to hinder the prime minister in private.

In short, the emperor's attitude is important.

Shang Chaodong and Rong Changxin were not worried, because they had long known the emperor's intentions and were inclined to Count Feng Yunrui. But Mei Xiaohan and Sheng Sheng and the others were nervous. If the emperor supports Earl Feng, it not only shows that he and others have no hope of becoming prime minister, but also makes the emperor disgusted by his usual small actions.

The deep gaze behind Li Ming's reading glasses swept over everyone's faces one by one, and said slowly: "Yunrui has contributed to the empire and the constitution, and I am in favor of being the earl." ”

As soon as these words came out, no one dared to raise objections. Originally, the emperor could have discussed and decided with the prime minister and the speaker, and it was not necessary to hold a meeting to discuss it. Now that he is taking a position at the meeting, who can say anything?

Mei Xiaohan's face froze, and she felt disheartened all of a sudden. At this time, how did he not know that the emperor was simply using this incident to express his dissatisfaction with himself? It seems that there is no need to think about the position of prime minister, and whether or not the position of chancellor of the exchequer can be firmly seated depends on two words.

After Li Ming finished expressing his attitude, he glanced at everyone meaningfully, and then drove away from Fang Yuan Pavilion. As soon as Li Ming left, after the nameless coercion disappeared, everyone relaxed.

"Your Majesty is twelve votes in favor of making an earl. Now in favor of the lead vote of the Earl, the result of this meeting, passed by the Earl of Yunrui. Shang Chaodong said with a smile.

Mei Xiaohan and the others couldn't help but show a wry smile. I thought that the lead of eleven votes was a foregone conclusion, but who knew that in the end, His Majesty appeared, but as soon as the twelve votes were shot, he was one vote ahead!

Especially when Yun Feiyang is flying, he is even more depressed. Not only did he not stop Earl Yun Ruifeng, but he was on the wrong side in a daze, he was not a human being inside and out, as a character who was old in the eunuch field and was good at dancing with long sleeves, this was really an unforgivable low-level mistake.

"Interesting, interesting, made the earl by a narrow margin of one vote. Li Luo couldn't help but laugh.

After the resolution was passed, it was reported to the Xia Ming Palace in the Forbidden City according to the procedure, the emperor used the seal, the prime minister stamped it, and a knighthood edict was announced to the whole country through the official media:

... There is Haijing Yunrui, and there is a great contribution to the country... As the ancient saying goes, the position is capable, and the knight is rewarded. He was specially named Yunrui as the Earl of Ping'an, with an annual salary of three million Chinese yuan. Participate in the deliberation of major state affairs in accordance with the usual practice, and have the right to supervise local political affairs and public conditions. The fief is the Geya peak of the Kunlun Mountains. Chin!"

At this point, Yun Rui became the ninth earl of the Great Xia Empire.

An edict of knighthood immediately attracted the attention of more than a billion people. Earl, it is the first one in the more than 100 years since the founding of the country! Even if he wins the Nobel Prize, he can only be named a man, but this Yun Rui is actually made an uncle! At this moment, I don't know how many people know the name Yun Rui, and I don't know how many people envy Yun Rui. Even many people looked up Yunrui's information on the Internet, but to their disappointment, they couldn't find the information of this freshly baked earl on the Internet.

After the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to the Yongle Villa where Yun Rui lived, they read out the edict of knighthood in front of Yun Rui. Although Yun Rui had already been told by Li Luo that he had been made an earl, he was still a little happy when the edict came down. He is a real person, but he is not an enlightened monk who is unmoved by material desires, and it would be hypocritical to say that there is no joy at all.

"I didn't expect to be an earl, you really made a lot of money this time!" said even Jiang Bancheng with a little envy. You must know that the nobles of the Great Xia Empire have a lot of privileges, the treatment is very generous, and the number is also very rare, and there are only about a hundred fifth-class titles in total now.

Jiang Tu and Gu Xiao Aojie's eyes were even red, and they couldn't stop sighing. This title is not a matter of this life, it is to be passed down from generation to generation, it is a real hardcore crop.

"Uncle Jiang, my fiefdom is the Geya Mountain Peak on the upper vein of Kunlun, what's going on?" Yun Rui quickly thought of a question after a brief moment of joy.

Jiang Bancheng explained: "The nobles of Great Xia all have fiefs, but they are only symbolic, and it is impossible to really seal the available land to individuals, and they are generally sealed in deserts, barren mountains, snowy peaks, and even barren saline-alkali land, and the area is not large. So it sounds like that, and it's not very useful. The benefits of the nobility were mainly political and economic privileges.

It's like your fiefdom, it's on Kunlun, of course, Kunlun Mountain is so big, it won't all be sealed to you. So your fiefdom is just one of the peaks, I estimate that the radius of this mountain will not exceed 100 miles, and most of it is a big snowy mountain, you say that the place is in a remote area, you can neither grow food, nor graze, how useful can it be?"

Jiang Tu laughed: "It turns out that Brother Yun got a heavy snowfall, haha, you can set up a toll station at the mountain pass, and everyone who travels up the mountain will be charged." ”

Of course, this was a joke, but Jiang Bancheng said seriously: "Although I haven't been there, I know that it is a place with a bad climate, and there will be people who go to travel before seeing ghosts." Otherwise, how could it be sealed to a private person?"

Yun Rui checked the Chageya Peak on the Internet, and sure enough, it was a snow-capped mountain with an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, which was at the intersection of the Western Regions and Tibet, and it was not far from the Laoshen Mountain recorded in William's diary! Both mountains belonged to the Kunlun Mountains, and most of the area was in Guwu County.

William also recorded a story circulated by a local Tibetan, saying that thousands of years ago, a great nobleman from the Central Plains brought a lot of followers into the mountain and never came out.

Unexpectedly, his fiefdom Geya Snow Mountain is not far from the mysterious Old God Mountain.

And there is another coincidence that Tanye Nu calls himself Brother Ping'an, and his title is Ping'an Bo. How is it really related to "peace"? (Ask for recommendation, Cricket decided not to put it on the shelves easily, try to open as many free chapters as possible, please support more!)
