I’m The King Chapter 1288: : Continuing the past and ushering in the future (one hundred and seventy-eight) struggle
Wu Qi sat in front of Gao Yuan with a distraught look on his face.
"Your Majesty, I will not participate." He resolutely said to Gao Yuan: "Yan Yizheng has always been the second assistant in the Political Affairs Hall, and he has been with the King for a long time. As a minister, since Jiang Shoufu has decided to retire after success, Yan Yizheng should fill the position of the chief assistant, how can the king get a council member to be elected? And push the minister to be Yan Yizheng's opponent?"
Gao Yuan looked at Wu Qi with a smile: "What? Doesn't the dignified Wu Yizheng not have the ambition to be the chief assistant and govern a country?"
Wu Qi couldn't help but hesitate. Now the Han Dynasty is booming, and it is already the most powerful country in the world. Pig. Pig. island. In the novel w.hha.om, Han's power has already been rooted in those Fanyi lands. In the words of the great king Gao Yuan, it is to establish a huge country where the sun never sets, and to be the chief assistant of such a powerful country at home and abroad. , What kind of glory and power is this, and how can it be compared with his hard support when he was the chief assistant of Wei State?
If you don't want to, the wise and holy king in front of you can see through you at a glance. Doesn't it seem insincere and inconsistent, but if you say you want to be, don't you just fall into the king's den?
"Your Majesty, why did you put your humble minister on the fire?" Wu Qi sighed a long time. He knows his family affairs from his own family, and he has only joined the Han Kingdom for less than three years, while Yan Shenghao has assisted the king for more than ten years. This seniority alone is far beyond his ability. Yan Shenghao has always been Even if he is a senior seat in the political affairs hall, even a veteran like Wu Kai can't compare with Yan Shenghao's qualifications in the center, let alone himself, a latecomer? Knowing that he couldn't be chosen at all, but he still had to bite the bullet. In the end, he could only be a villain in vain. Offended Yan Shenghao, but got nothing, and in this way, in the future, Yan Shenghao can not give himself little shoes to wear in the political affairs hall. The road is easy to walk.
"Why is this putting you on fire?" Gao Yuan laughed, "Wu Yizheng, apart from the consideration of seniority. In other respects, where do you think you are compared with Yan Yizheng? ?”
"Connections!" Wu Qi said without hesitation: "Strictly discussing politics and assisting the Lord for more than ten years, this prestige is unmatched by ministers."
"Well, you are right. You mentioned your qualifications and contacts, but you didn't mention your ability. This shows that deep down in your heart, you don't think your ability to govern is worse than Yan Yizheng, and you even You think you are better, don't you?" Gao Yuan said.
Wu Qi was stunned. He didn't expect the meaning buried deep in his heart, but Gao Yuan pointed out these few words directly, and he was a little embarrassed at the moment. It took a while to arrive: "As for the power of governance, my subordinates must have been in power in the former Wei Dynasty for many years before. I dare not underestimate myself on this point."
"That's right." Gao Yuan said lightly: "Now in the council hall, Mr. has made up his mind to go, and he's getting old. I can't force him to persevere. Only Yan Yizheng and you are capable. Wu Kai and Wu are diligent in discussing politics, but they don’t have the ability to control the overall situation. Zhou Changshou is better at martial arts and is not familiar with political affairs. A big mess is enough for him to toss about."
"Thanks to the king's attention, but the minister is more willing to serve the king as the chief assistant after strict discussion of politics!" Wu Qi said.
Gao Yuan shook his head with a smile: "Wu Yizheng, you still don't understand what I mean. Do you think that the chief assistant of my burly man will be based on seniority in the future? After Lao Yan, you will come after you. What will come after you? It's Zhou Longevity or Kou Shuguang, at that time, who can compete with the two of them?"
Wu Qi was stunned.
"The chief assistant of my big man will control the domain of thousands of miles, not only on the mainland, but also in the distant overseas seas in the future. Our yellow dragon flag will fly, so the first assistant of the big man will be based on ability It's not based on seniority." Gao Yuan said: "I also understand that you will lose in this election, but I still insist on this, and you have to go all out."
"Your Majesty!" Wu Qi looked at Gao Yuan in embarrassment.
"I have decided that in the future, Mr. Jiang's term of office will be the duration of Mr. Jiang assisting me, that is to say, ten years. These ten years will be divided into two terms. Each term will be five years. In a competition, the councilors will elect the chief assistant of the next term. You are definitely not the opponent of Yan Yizheng in this term, so what about the next term? You have five years to prove your ability." Gao Yuan leisurely Authentic: "This election is your first appearance. Many congressmen don't know you yet, and some people know you but are not familiar with you. These congressmen come from all over the country and from all walks of life. I believe they will choose the first election. Assistant, it depends more on whether this chief assistant can bring them more benefits, whether they can make the place they represent achieve better development, who can let them see this hope, They may vote for this person, so even if you lose this election, you have indeed established yourself as a competitor of Yan Yizheng in the hearts of everyone, and made your identity and Yan Yizheng stand apart. The equal sign, if you can make them feel amazing, then don’t you think you have great hope for the next session?”
"Yan Yizheng won this time, and his tenure is five years. During the five years, he can't satisfy everyone, and he can't convince everyone. I think you can do more work." Gao Yuan smiled. Said with a trick.
"Your Majesty!" Hearing Gao Yuan's words, Wu Qi became a little excited, "There is a term of office every five years, and for the next term, I really have the confidence to fight for it."
"That's right!" Gao Yuan laughed, "There are still ten days before the parliamentary election, I think you should prepare well, not only to let more members know you, but also to go to the Prepare your own policy speech well, and let all members of the parliament clearly understand how you plan to manage this huge country. As for your worry that you will not be able to get along with Yan Yizheng in the future, I think there is no need. Yan Yizheng is not such a small-hearted person, right? If he Such a person is really such a person, how can he manage a huge country like our big man? Seeking common ground while reserving differences, he still has some capacity for this.”
"I understand." Wu Qi stood up and bowed deeply to Gao Yuan, "I'm going down to prepare now. Your Majesty has made it so clear. If you don't work hard, you will truly fail your Majesty." I'm looking forward to it."
"Okay. Go get busy!" Gao Yuan waved his hand and said.
Wu Qi walked away very quickly. This person is also a decisive person. Now that he has made up his mind, he will definitely do a lot in the future. This battle may not be as easy as Yan Shenghao thought, but it is exactly what Yan Shenghao thought. What Gao Yuan wanted.
The three powers are separated, and each is good at its own work. The king will only become the symbol and judge of the country. This is the system that Gao Yuan wants to establish. From a public point of view, this will prevent the big man from collapsing due to power officials and internal strife in the future. The army, judiciary, parliament, and political affairs hall will check each other. Checking and balancing each other, and speaking personally, the Wang family was taken out of the vortex of struggle, only appearing as a referee. This will also allow his lofty descendants to survive for generations and enjoy wealth in peace. It will not be like those kings who subjugated the country in history, the country is destroyed, and the body dies. The smoke evaporated, leaving nothing behind.
Of course, such a system will continue to develop. It will also cause many political affairs in the future to be delayed amidst disputes and the balance of power, and decision-making will be delayed, making it difficult to effectively concentrate all forces, but compared with the benefits, this is insignificant. Or if you can still use your prestige to minimize these disadvantages during your lifetime, and try your best to eliminate all external threats, things will be much easier in the future.
I have just taken the first step. I hope that in my lifetime, I can see the emergence of a big man with a complete system, a big man who can correct himself.
The day of the general election is getting closer and closer, and Yan Shenghao gradually feels the pressure. And the news that Wu Ci'an brought him made him even more anxious. Wu Ci'an, formerly a county magistrate of Hejian Mansion, was also Yan Shenghao's subordinate. He defected to Dahan earlier than Yan Shenghao. Over the years, Yan Shenghao has become the second assistant of Dahan, and Wu Ci'an has also become the county guard of Hejian, in charge of The senior members of one party, the two have gradually evolved from the initial relationship between superiors and subordinates to today's political alliance. Yan Shenghao needs Wu Ci'an's local support, and Wu Ci'an also needs the care of Yan Shenghao in the center in order to win more benefits for Hejian.
"Brother Wu, you mean that Wu Qi has been visiting the councilors who came to Jicheng from all over these days?" Yan Shenghao's face was a little serious.
"That's right, Yan Yizheng. When I visited today, I also saw that you, Yan Yizheng, did not move. You were still busy with tedious political affairs. You didn't even take this election seriously. Although I also think that you, Yan Yizheng, The victory is in hand, but it is better not to take it lightly, after all, since the king has made a decision, if there is an accident during the election, it cannot be changed." Wu Ci'an said seriously.
"Has Wu Qi gained the support of many people now?"
"Of course ~IndoMTL.com~ As far as I know, the councilors from the pre-Wei and Qi prefectures have expressed their support for Wu Qi." Wu Ci'an said: "Although the number of councilors in these two places is only It accounted for one-third of all the councilors, but this was already a huge number. Except for the councilors from Hejian Mansion, Wu Qi did not go to visit, and the others arrived. Although the councilors from other places did not make a clear statement, they If someone among them votes for Wu Yizheng at that time, it will be troublesome.”
Yan Shenghao's expression suddenly became ugly. "In your opinion, what should I do now?"
"Strictly discussing politics, there are still a few days before the general election. Needless to say, we in Hejian must fully support you. What you have to do now is to visit Jishi County, Liaoxi County, Langya County, Hejian County, etc. As long as you take down the councilors in these places in Jianjun, you will win the paper. Strictly discuss politics. Although you don't go, most of the councilors in these places will vote for you, but whether to go or not is a matter of attitude. , if you make these congressmen feel that you don't value them in discussing politics, even if only a small number of people switch to Wu Qi, the situation will be serious!"
"You're right, Brother Wu, I'll take action immediately, I'm sorry, I can't keep you for dinner today, and I have to trouble you to contact me more." Yan Shenghao said.
"Don't worry about discussing politics." Wu Ci'an stood up and said. (to be continued...)
