"You, you guys..."
Ying Rong was furious.
He did not expect this situation. He has always boasted that his control over Liangzhou's officialdom can make the Liu family and his son fearful!
did not expect.
Liu Zhizhou's "democratic election of congressmen" directly made him, who has become famous all over the world, almost become a loner.
"Sir Ying, Liu Zhizhou's program is correct!"
"Yes, there is no conflict in this matter!"
"Although it is recommended by the people, it does not hinder the distinction between official status and white status. Moreover, as parents and officials, we should listen to the voices of the people!"
A group of people said this.
puff!
Ying Rong almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Listen to the voices of the people?
Want to be a parent official?
When did you become so righteous? If you don't see that you have a chance to enter the cabinet, you are not even giving yourself face!
Openly break up!
Ying Rong's vision almost went dark. He looked at the Liu family and his son with smiles on their faces next to him. He held the handle of his seat tightly and sneered: "Okay, okay, since Liu Zhizhou has the "Outline", naturally we are We must act in accordance with the regulations!”
A cold light flashed in his eyes.
Since you want to break up with me, don't blame me for being rude! This is the rhythm that will push yourself to a dead end! How could he sit still and wait for death?
then.
This is how the vigorous first parliamentary election in Liangzhou Prefecture began.
Even the troublemakers at the gate of Liangzhou Mansion and the people who had just beaten these inactive officials to a bloody pulp began to watch the fun.
People elect MPs?
What's the difference between this congressman and an official? You can discuss politics, participate in politics, and participate in legislation...
People looked at each other in shock and felt incredible.
What about this?
Since ancient times, these officials have been appointed by the imperial court. How can they, "untouchables", have any chance to participate? This is definitely an unprecedented first time!
Many people even didn't react at all.
"What?"
"Let us elect cabinet members?"
"this……"
For a moment, these people cheered. When can they control the fate and future of this group of officials? So, they stopped making trouble, and many people started running around the city to tell each other.
"Go to Liangzhou Mansion and have a look!"
"Election, election!"
"We can choose the cabinet!"
The people in the whole city were in an uproar after hearing this. Whether they were merchants, farmers, or craftsmen, they felt a sense of participation in an instant and were overjoyed.
"Is it really possible?"
"Let's go, let's go see the excitement!"
soon.
Liangzhou Mansion started to have three floors inside and three floors outside. Many people had no place to stay, so they all looked for tall buildings nearby. The election scene turned into a grand event.
Although they can't participate in this first cabinet election - but it doesn't matter! This "Program" and "Methods" have already stated that starting from the second term of the cabinet, these members will begin to be elected one by one. Doesn’t that mean that they all have the right to participate in politics?
Although they cannot participate directly, it still gives them a sense of social belonging and a sense of honor to participate in politics!
This is definitely a great spiritual improvement for a person.
This will allow these people to truly unite with Liangzhou Prefecture.
What Liu Zheng wants is this feeling. He wants to make all thirty districts and counties in Liangzhou monolithic. Because of this situation, it is not easy to achieve in other places in the entire Longyan Dynasty.
Which vassal king's territory does not have various interest groups fighting among themselves?
If the entire Liangzhou unites as one, what kind of energy will burst out?
so.
No matter how aggrieved Ying Rong was at this moment, the highly anticipated election of cabinet members had finally begun.
It lasted seven days.
The first day of work is to nominate. Twenty people were selected from the more than two hundred people present.
These twenty people will be candidates for cabinet ministers.
Then, the next six days will be an on-site assessment of these twenty people.
How to assess?
Policy theory!
On-site policy making, debate, and assessment of official abilities!
After the assessment, the two hundred representatives on site voted again.
Six days in total, there are quite a lot of procedures. Then the final nine cabinet members were decided.
…
"How can this not make sense? How can this not make sense! You are so angry with me, you are so angry with me!"
This day.
When Ying Rong returned home, he couldn't help but throw down the table and pick up the stool.
"Master, master, what's going on..."
A group of people were trembling.
A stern look flashed in Ying Rong's eyes: "The Liu family and his son want to turn the world upside down!"
Since ancient times, no matter which state a governor, governor, or state shepherd takes office, he must first appease the local powerful. Who would have thought that Liu Zheng would just come to the rescue! What's more important is that his desperate measures have won the support of many people! This is the most terrifying thing!
Especially after today.
Twenty candidates for cabinet ministers have been selected.
He only occupied four seats!
What is this concept?
Twenty, only four! Ying Rong, who always thought that he occupied half of Liangzhou's officialdom, was furious today. Doesn't this mean that there are only a few people in the cabinet, and only one or two of our own people will enter?
One or two!
What the hell!
You can’t even get the initiative to vote!
"Sir, what should we do?"
"Sir... you must think of a way!"
The group of people following Ying Rong were all anxious. They were all in key departments in Liangzhou before. Once they lose these positions, their glory will be gone.
Ying Rong thought for a moment and sneered: "Liu Zhizhou is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. However, he doesn't know how deep the water in Liangzhou is..."
"Send a letter to the Third Prince!"
"By the way, our people, regardless of the outcome, will continue to be passive and slow in their work..."
"yes!"
…
Pingzhou.
Prince Lu's Mansion.
Xie Ling wakes up from nightmares every day these days.
"No, don't kill me! No!"
A group of people stood beside the third prince tremblingly, including King Lu.
"Your Highness, Your Highness..."
King Lu sighed deeply.
Since Che Shi's defeat in the first battle, the third prince seemed to have lost his soul and was mentally unstable every day. The third prince woke up with a start, panting, and it took him a long time to calm down. Seeing so many people, he seemed to feel that he had lost face, and his expression immediately changed: "What are you doing here? I'm fine, get out of here, get out of here! "
A group of people were so scared that they ran away.
Only King Lu stood beside him and said with a smile: "Third Prince, why don't we go back to Beijing first and discuss this matter with the Queen..."
"What kind of Jinghua are you going back to? Why are you going back to Jinghua? Why are you going back to let the prince see the joke!"
Xie Ling shouted with a ferocious expression.
King Lu smiled bitterly.
If you don’t return to Beijing, won’t others be laughing? This time, Xie Ling's losses in Liangzhou were not small. Zheng Yuxing died and Rongshan Pass was lost.
Soon, the Liangzhou military fell into the hands of Liu Zheng.
This instantly cleared the power of the third prince within Liangzhou... Speaking of which, in this game, he was even worse than the prince! At least the prince still had a good relationship with Liu Zheng after losing Chen Ping. At least on the surface, Liu Zheng has now become the prince's man.
"No, I can't go back to Beijing, I can't go back to Beijing!"
Xie Ling jumped up with a loud sound and shouted: "You know my father's character, right? If I go back, it will no longer be possible for me to fight for power! There is no chance at all, and he will not give me a chance. ,Won't!"
King Lu sighed.
What can be done about this? Originally, King Lu had always remained neutral before. The last time the old emperor was critically ill, he wavered and finally chose the third prince's side - after all, he was still pro-empress.
But now it seems...
These three princes are not the ones entrusted to them.
He suddenly regretted his original choice.
only……
The general trend of the world has been like this since ancient times. If he chooses this side, he will never regret it.
At this time, someone came in with a letter.
This letter was naturally sent by Liangzhou Yingrong.
"What?"
When Xie Ling saw the content of the letter, his face turned pale immediately and he shouted coldly: "This Liu Zhizhou has gone too far. He even didn't let go of several prominent families close to the Zheng family! What does he want to do, huh? Does he want to rebel? ?”
King Lu took the letter and read it again, but he was also stunned.
cabinet?
Liangzhou Parliament?
Liu Zhizhou's politics took many twists and turns.
only……
Is this a bit too harsh?
At this time, if you do this, you are simply scratching the third prince's heart!
A sinister look flashed in Xie Ling's eyes, and he growled: "Liu Zhizhou, Liu Zhizhou, since you insist on choosing the prince's camp, then don't blame me for being rude!"
King Lu was shocked: "Your Highness wants to..."
Xie Ling sneered: "If you touch the foundation of my Liangzhou, I will touch the foundation of your reputation! Go immediately to investigate, how is the progress of his useless Grand Canal!"
When King Lu heard this, his expression changed drastically.
Grand Canal?
Xie Ling wants to make evil plans on the Grand Canal?
