Chapter 1613: Unexpected
It was not because Xie Qian deliberately became Li Dongyang's aura, and like Wang Hua, he knew Li Dongyang's position in the minds of those scholars.
"It doesn't matter whether you have or not. If you work hard, you will have no regrets." Ye Chunqiu said a very pretentious sentence very directly.
Xie Qian wanted to say a few more words with great sincerity, but after hearing what Ye Chunqiu said, he found that he couldn't say anything. Finally, he laughed and said, "Okay, the younger generation will work hard, I'll watch it on the wall, just wait to see how you turn decay into magic."
Ye Chunqiu smiled and said, "If Mr. Xie is willing to help, his efforts will lead to results."
"I just knew that you were not here to chat. Tell me, what do you want to do?" Xie Qian glared at him again, but he was helpless to Ye Chunqiu.
Ye Chunqiu then looked at Xie Qian seriously and expressed his thoughts in his heart.
After Ye Chunqiu visited Xie Qian, the day afterwards came to Tingtui. Tingtui was carried out in Baohe Palace. The charter jointly signed by Ye Chunqiu and Li Dongyang was reported, and the palace immediately approved it. Then, the Ministry of Rites began to carry out all procedures in accordance with the charter and step by step.
Li Dongyang is just the acting chief minister. Before the results came out, although he was still in a high position and powerful position, but... with the word "dai" it must always make people feel uncomfortable.
On that day, Ye Chunqiu set out early to attend the court meeting.
After meeting Li Dongyang, Li Dongyang was chatting with Wang Hua with a happy look. His Majesty had not come yet, and the hall was buzzing, and they were chatting with each other.
However, if you look carefully, you will find that the two sides are clearly divided. Wang Hua and Xie Qian's disciples stood aside, looking at each other coldly, and some people with good relationships with Li Dongyang were also talking to each other.
However, Yang Yiqing is an exception. He seems unwilling to get involved in such disputes, and he seems very free and easy.
Then the Minister of Rites Fei Hong and Yang Yiqing whispered something. Fei Hong and Li Dongyang have a good relationship, which is well known. It seems that they have the intention of replacing Li Dongyang and winning over Yang Yiqing.
When Zhu Houzhao arrived with big strides, everyone became serious and the noisy sound came to an abrupt end.
Zhu Houzhao was wearing a crown and a crown on his head, showing a few majestic looks. He climbed onto the imperial throne. Everyone saluted. Zhu Houzhao said, "Today is the day for the court. I am just seeing the new things. Master Fei, you are the Minister of Rites, so you can preside over it."
Fei Hong nodded with a smile and then began to sing the rules.
Ye Chunqiu is familiar with these rules. Everyone writes down the alternate prime minister to be elected. Each person is allowed to write one name and then perform a roll call. If he gets recommended by one hundred people, he is qualified to compete for the prime minister.
The eunuchs all appeared with trays, each giving a bamboo stick to the officials, and then they gave them their own pens and ink.
Everyone did not hide it, and they wrote their names in a few strokes. Then, the eunuchs collected all the bamboo sticks, and Fei Hong and the eunuch Liu Jin, the eunuch at the Sili Supervisor, started to sing the name together, and there was a special record of Hanlin officials next to them.
Ye Chunqiu smiled slightly and stood in an inconspicuous corner of the crowd. He knew in his heart that the real game was about to begin.
"Li Dongyang..."
"Li Dongyang..."
"Li Dongyang..."
Fei Hong sang at the top of his voice, and the three bamboo sticks in a row were Li Dongyang, which made him feel a little relieved.
Mr. Li is simply what everyone wants. In fact, Ye Chunqiu is one of the few smart people in the new generation, but no matter what tricks he uses, what can he do? In the face of true fame and strength, all conspiracies are vulnerable.
"Li Dongyang..."
The fourth one is here.
This is a good start.
Li Dongyang couldn't help but smile. Although his brother's affairs still made him feel angry, he had been practicing his ruthlessness to put the overall situation first after so many years in the court. The most important thing now is to keep his position as chief minister first. Fortunately, now it seems that the process is still smooth, and it is time to show his strength.
There were four consecutive Li Dongyang, and the attitude of most officials in the court was self-evident. Ye Chunqiu... What kind of virtue can he compete with himself for his strengths?
As for Shilin, there is no need to worry. I believe that in the end, at least 80% of the support I can get. With this, my status will be as solid as a rock.
"Fei Hong..."
When Fei Hong thought of the fifth bamboo stick, his face became strange.
Fei Hong doesn’t understand very much, how could he have himself?
But this is an unknown bamboo stick, and it is difficult to find out who it is.
Generally speaking, although Fei Hong is the Minister of Rites and has a high position and a powerful position, he and Li Dongyang are in the same party. He has been running around many times for the affairs of Mr. Li these days, just to get more votes from Mr. Li. Who is full and spends his own entertainment?
Fei Hong glanced at Li Dongyang inadvertently.
Li Dongyang still smiled, looking distracted.
It seems that this is someone who is not in dealing with Mr. Li, who is just disgusting Mr. Li and himself, but... this doesn't matter, continue...
"Li Dongyang."
"Wang Hua..."
"Wang Hua..."
"Fei Hong..."
There was nothing unexpected before, but... why did you have yourself again?
At this moment, Fei Hong was no longer as relaxed as before.
Although there were only two votes from him, he felt something was wrong.
The officials below also began to whisper.
Liu Jin squinted his eyes and said at the top of his throat: "Silent!"
Fei Hong continued to hold the bamboo stick, his face became even worse, and said, "Fei Hong."
"Li Dongyang."
"Wang Hua."
Every vote of the ministers in the court was obviously carefully calculated. Mr. Li needed to show his strength to crush his opponents, so he needed to concentrate the votes. Therefore, in the past few days, his disciples and former officials had already carried out activities, and those who should say hello said hello.
Wang Hua himself has the strength, and with Xie Qian's support, he has a chance to be shortlisted.
But the question is, where did the extra Fei Hong come from?
No one seemed to notice that among the officials, Jianchang Bo and Shouning Hou were laughing silently.
In fact, at the beginning, when Ye Chunqiu came to ask them to go to canvass votes, the two brothers were also surprised. They mobilized all the Dukes and Marquis to vote for Fei Hong?
Isn’t this crazy? They would rather join Ye Chunqiu!
