I’m The King Chapter 1292: : Carrying forward the past and ushering in the future (one hundred and eighty-two) election

Gao Yuan and his party did not enter through the main entrance of the parliament building, but under the leadership of He Weiyuan, they quietly stepped into a room on the second floor of the parliament building through the corner door on one side. , They had a clear view of the situation in the lobby on the first floor.

Wu Qi had just finished his campaign speech, bowed to all the congressmen, and after getting up, he nodded slightly to Yan Shenghao on the other side. Both competitors kept smiles and demeanor on their faces, at least on the surface It seems that they are all confident.

He Dayou, as a consultant of the Great Council, is a detached general election this time, because he resigned as a member of the Great Council, so he has no voting rights, but Gao Yuan summoned him to be in charge of this general election During the voting and counting session, the two Chief Assistants finished their competitive speeches, and he limped to the middle of the hall, carrying a box in his hand.

Standing on the podium, he opened one side of the box and unfolded the inside to all the congressmen. The box was empty. After showing it for a week, He Dayou put the box on the podium and closed the lid.

Looking at the councilors around, He Dayou cleared his throat: "Ministers, Mr. He was entrusted by the king to preside over the vote counting session this time. Does anyone raise any objections that he is not Should he come to host or say that He needs to avoid suspicion?"

The hall was quiet, it was really a joke, He Dayou just said that he was entrusted by the king, who else would dare to gnaw his teeth? Or in the long, long future, there will be such voices of doubt, but now, the reputation of the founding monarch is in full swing, and the members of the Great Council have long been accustomed to unconditional obedience to the king.

"Old He, you are taking off your pants and farting, it's unnecessary." Chen Fang from Jishi County shouted from the seat: "Hurry up and start!"

"This is a procedural issue." He Dayou said sternly: "The king said that the result is very important, but the procedure and process are also very important. Since no one has raised any doubts, then we will officially start."

He waved his hand, and a row of young guard soldiers came out from the passages on both sides. These soldiers held a stack of ballot papers in their hands, and began to distribute the ballot papers in the hands of the MPs one by one.

"Members of Congress, the ballots you are holding are all blank, and you have pens and ink in front of you. What you have to do now is to pick up the pens and write on the ballots the candidates you think are suitable. On. I remind everyone that you can only write one name. If two names appear on a ballot, then this ballot will be invalid. This is the supreme right bestowed on you by the king. Please cherish your vote The right to this vote. He Dayou said loudly."

This time, no one in the hall spoke up again. Most of the MPs who got the ballots almost picked up their pens and did it overnight. He swept around the person, but he didn't seem to have made up his mind.

"Start voting now. Please come to the stage one by one in order, and put your sacred vote into the box next to me." He Dayou said.

Members in the front row began to leave their seats to vote one by one. Those congressmen who were still hesitating finally took up their pens and wrote down their candidates for the chief assistant.

On the second floor, Gao Yuan looked at the ministers who had just come upstairs to meet him. They did not have the right to vote. At this time, they all became spectators. Gao Yuan looked at these people, and seeing them watching the scene with great interest, he couldn't help laughing in his heart. Now the election of the first and second ministers he made is still a bit nonsensical. These ministers naturally don't think that this election has anything to do with them, and they are interested in watching the excitement. But after a few more years, they won't be in such a mood. Because the election of the chief assistant will also be related to their position.

Now is just the beginning. In the future, what Gao Yuan wants to do is to let the first assistant form a cabinet by himself. After the first assistant is elected, the first assistant will have the right to nominate candidates for ministers, and then submit the candidates to the Great Council for review Passed, and only then will the real electoral era begin.

"Who do you think will win the election?" Gao Yuan squinted and looked at the MPs who voted downstairs, and asked casually.

"Is there anything more to say? It must be strictly discussing politics!" Wu Kai stood at the first place among the officials and the place closest to Gao Yuan. When he heard Gao Yuan's question, he said directly without thinking , "Whether it is seniority, connections, or credit, Lao Yan is not comparable to Wu Yizheng. Your Majesty, please forgive me, this kind of voting is just a formality."

"I can't even see it!" Cao Tianci, who was behind him, shook his head and said, "I know that Wu Yizheng has also put in a lot of effort in the past two days, and there are quite a few people who expressed their support for him. Who will win? Not yet known."

Gao Yuan glanced at Cao Tianci. Cao Tiangang lowered his head with some guilt. As the head of the state secret police, he certainly knew more than ordinary people. Cao Tianci was also given orders for their monitoring, but Gao Yuan felt that he still had to put a question mark in his heart whether he had fully implemented it. Looking at his appearance now, I'm afraid he was discounted.

"Longevity, what do you think?" Gao Yuan looked back at Zhou Changshou.

Zhou Changshou smiled and said: "I think Yan Yizheng won this time, but Wu Yizheng is not a vegetarian. In the eyes of my subordinates, Wu Yizheng regards this general election as military training. His focus should be It will be in the next term. Didn’t the king say that elections are held every five years! This term, Wu Yizheng just doesn’t want to lose too badly, and is just laying the groundwork.”

"Shuguang, what about you?" Turning his gaze to another minister of state affairs, Kou Shuguang, as a rising star, has always kept silent in the political affairs hall. With the attitude that more things are worse than less things, try not to speak.

"Your Majesty, in Wu Yizheng's speech just now, he strongly emphasized the need to develop overseas trade, expand overseas markets, and establish a large number of overseas reclamation points. With our technological advantages, we can use a small number of troops to control The vast overseas land will help us grab more wealth." Kou Shuguang said.

Gao Yuan's eyes flashed: "Wu Qi has been looking for you? Want to ask for your support?"

Kou Shuguang blushed slightly, "Yes, Wu Yizheng went to me and said that he wanted to hear my views on maritime affairs, so I told him about this and told him that the people on the other side of the sea It is vast and rich in goods, but now our power is limited, we know it, but we can’t get it.”

Gao Yuan chuckled: "It seems that Wu Qi has indeed put in a lot of effort. In terms of domestic politics, he really couldn't compete with Lao Yan, so he set his sights overseas, and even the method of colonization made him After thinking about it, after his speech, I am afraid that those big councilors who played the role of the sea will all vote for him."

Kou Shuguang bowed his head and remained silent. Wang Shang had a good idea. After Wu Qi found him, he promised to vigorously develop overseas trade in the future and establish settlements one by one. So he helped Wu Qi win a lot of votes. As Gao Yuan said, he got the votes of the congressmen of Yihaizhou County. In this regard, Kou Shuguang has unique conditions.

In this regard, Yan Shenghao made a mistake. I'm afraid he didn't expect that the members of the Political Affairs Hall would clearly support Wu Qi to compete with him.

"Ye Zhong, you are the Minister of Defense and you represent the military. Who do you support?" Gao Yuan looked at Ye Zhong.

Ye Zhong smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, I have no position. The army is the army of the King and the army of the Han Kingdom. It doesn't matter who is the chief assistant. Just as the king does not allow the army to intervene in local civil affairs, I also have no problem with it." The election of the chief minister is not biased."

Gao Yuan smiled, the army, this is the biggest problem in the reform of the political system in the future, and it is also a problem that he is scratching his head. He has only taken a small step to prevent the army from intervening in politics, and he is cautious. The change of the regime has completely changed the situation where the monarch keeps his promises. The army is an unavoidable problem. From the question and answer with Ye Zhong, it can be heard that the army is still loyal to the king, and he himself is in power. Naturally, there will be no problem, but the problem is that in the future, if a fatuous monarch appears in the big man, but still controls the army, then all the reforms I have now are just empty words. With a big wave of his hand, in front of the steel swords of the army, any democracy is empty talk.

But under the current social conditions, it is impossible for me to take a big step forward. I can only slowly ~IndoMTL.com~ step by step, when I have cleared Qin Chu, I have some basic conditions, then I can solve this problem step by step.

"You're right, the army should be loyal to the country!" He said indifferently.

There may be nothing wrong with this sentence in the ears of most people, but for Ye Zhong, it is quite different. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Gao Yuan, full of surprise in his heart. The one who came here followed Ye Tiannanyou to the dignitaries of the court. He was much more familiar with the game between countries than other people here. Gao Yuan mentioned the country, but did not mention the king, which shocked him a bit .

"Start counting tickets now!" Next, He Dayou's loud voice began to roar again.

Several Guards soldiers appeared in the hall carrying a large whiteboard. Two clerks stood holding pens. On the whiteboard, two names had already been written, Yan Shenghao was on the left, and Wu Qi was on the right.

He Dayou picked up a ballot from the box, opened it, glanced at it, and said loudly: "Yan Shenghao."

The scribe on the left picked up a pen, and made a heavy stroke under Yan Shenghao's name on the whiteboard. (to be continued...)
