The officials will enter the Hongwen Hall and sit down according to the order of seats. There are nearly a hundred people in one hall, and the seats are quite distinct. Left Wen and Right Martial, ranked according to official rank and seniority. It was the emperor's seat at the beginning, but he didn't come today, so the throne was vacated, and three pontoons were placed in front of the seat, which were prepared for Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng.

Needless to say the status of the grandson Wuji, the current chief minister, Li Shimin said, "I have most of the credit for this person in the world"; Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, in Li Shimin's words, before Zhenguan, Fang Xuanling was the first ; After Zhenguan, Wei Zheng has no one else.

These three people are the undisputed three big brothers in the current court.

The chief seat of the military is not Li Ji's, but Yuchi Jingde. Li is one of the four great heroes of Jingnan Kaiyuan, followed by Li Ji, Duan Zhixuan and Cheng Zhijie. The chief of the civil servants sat in the Suige Recording Room, Chu Suiliang, to record the words and deeds of the meeting, followed by the Prime Minister of the Cabinet Department and the officials of the Three Provinces and Six Departments.

When I entered the Hongwen Hall Auditorium, I saw it at a glance, and the hierarchy was orderly. Without any suspense, Qin Mubai sat in the last position. Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng sat down first, and the next Pu sat empty, and Fang Xuanling still did not appear.

"Princes." Changsun Wuji cried out, and the scene was quiet. He said, "Today, I will wait for the court officials to gather together to discuss one thing. Presumably, the princes already have a good idea, that is, Lanzhou. The issue of war and peace. According to the previous rules, the cabinet department will express their opinions in turn. Chu Suiliang takes notes in class to record everyone’s opinions."

"Yes, Situ." Chu Suiliang responded, holding a pen in his hand.

"Next, I will invite Zheng Guogong Xuancheng (Wei Zhengzi Xuancheng) to express his opinion first." Changsun Wuji said.

"Situ, how can this meeting be held like this today?" Wei Zheng's eyes dimmed and kept tears, but the words were still sonorous and full of breath, and he immediately refuted.

Everyone was surprised for a while, and Changsun Wuji calmly said: "Then according to Xuan Chenggong's intention, how will this happen?"

"This meeting has been held twice, and no results have been discussed. It is nothing more than mutual excuses and vague attitudes. How can the efficiency of this work be said? When I wait for the discussion to be clear, I am afraid that Lanzhou has already been bloody. It's a river!" Wei Zhengyang started and said like a drum, "In my humble opinion, there is no need to speak from the cabinet ministers one by one. In this way, if the prime minister has spoken, it is difficult for the officials below to make any opposite opinions. ; The general has spoken, how dare the affiliated generals say nothing? Such a meeting is nothing but affection and the size of the official position. Everyone has to perfuse the blame."

"So what?" Changsun Wuji spread his hands and said, "Aren't the past cabinet meetings held like this?"

"It won't work this time." Wei Zheng waved his hand stubbornly and said loudly, "Since the cabinet has invited all important officials from the ruling and the opposition, we can't let them stay silent. This is a serious matter. No need to go into details. If you listen to it at the same time, you will be light and dark, and everyone will come to express your opinion."

"Then everyone said that the paintings are in a quarrel, will it be impossible to be decent, what can it be?" Changsun Wuji said a little impatiently. This Wei Zheng hates him today. Originally, Changsun Wuji wanted to use his power and influence to make a preconceived idea. Few officials below would dare to openly challenge him. He predicted that the worst result would be that Wei Zhenghui would force him to play, so he asked him to say first that he would refute him with righteousness and righteousness.

Unexpectedly, this Wei Zheng didn't play his cards according to the routine at all. Changsun Wuji was really annoyed, and it was not easy to attack.

Qin Mubai sat in the last seat and listened to these two people arguing a few words. He was secretly happy and thought: Two ministers from the first minister have come, and Wei Zheng, a bad-tempered old man, has always been the emperor’s face, so why Put Changsun Wuji in your eyes? It's good now, it seems that he and Changsun Wuji have different opinions. It's Changsun Wuji's opponent, and it's my ally...Okay, here's a chance!

Qin Mubai stood up, bowed his hand to the stage, and said: "Both men are good friends, there is a suggestion for the humble position to reconcile the differences between the two."

Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng glanced at Qin Mubai together. Wei Zheng kept turning his eyes and asked: "Who came out to speak?"

"Don't drive at Lanzhou Dudu Mansion, Qin Mubai."

"Oh, Qin Mubai, you say it." Before Grandson Wuji spoke, Wei Zheng raised his hand to signal Qin Mubai to speak.

Changsun Wuji was itchy teeth with hatred, and really wanted to throw Wei Zheng out.

"Xie Xuancheng Gong." Qin Mubai arched his hands and said, "Since it is said that everyone is required to express their opinions, it is better to invite all officials present to vote anonymously."

"Anonymous voting, how to vote?" Many people asked together.

"It's very simple." Qin Mubai smiled, "If you agree to Lanzhou's battle, draw a circle; if you disagree, draw a cross. You don't need to sign, and a circle can't tell the handwriting. So, Fang allows everyone to express their true thoughts. This is called... democratic voting!"

"Mischief!" Changsun Wuji immediately became angry and shouted, "So, what's the use of the prime minister?"

"What's the rush, Situ!" Wei Zheng cast his face, squinting at Changsun Wuji with dissatisfaction, and said, "According to what you said, you, Changsun Wuji, will handle all the major events in the world. How do you pretend to call us people? I think the method proposed by Qin Mubai is very good. Even if it is not regarded as the final public opinion, it at least represents the people's will and can be used as an important reference."

"Wei Zheng, what are you talking about!" Changsun Wuji said angrily, "According to you, someone is going to dominate the court? ... What democratic voting, you can't think of it! Such a major national event, How can you vote with... a circling cross?"

"Then what should you do?" Wei Zheng said coldly, "Or, do you ask your Majesty the emperor to come out to decide? Or, can you tell me a few words about the King of the Jin Dynasty?"

"Presumptuous! You know that His Majesty the Emperor is seriously ill and bedridden, and King Jin is still young, how can you be so disrespectful?" Changsun Wuji was a little angry.

"Then it will be over!" Wei Zheng spread his hands and said, "Since your Majesty has not come out to make a decision, Fang Jin has not established the Crown Prince—Changsun Wuji, you are only supporting the Jin Dynasty, you are not a prison. King of the Kingdom! Those of us are not dead yet. You can’t be the only one who has the final say on all matters."

"Wei Zheng...you!" Changsun Wuji was almost choked to death by a mouthful of hot water. He pointed to Wei Zheng, his face flushed as he couldn't speak.

Many people are holding back a smile. This Wei Zheng has always been like this. Not to mention it was with Changsun Wuji, even though the emperor was sitting in front of him, he dared to point and curse, without any ambiguity.

It's not ashamed to eat turtles in front of Wei Zheng. It's just that Changsun Wuji's breath is really unbearable, and it will happen soon. Li Daozong came out and said: "Okay, Situ and Shizhong, you two should not quarrel anymore. Isn't it just a vote? Just take a look at everyone's heart's wishes, and didn't say that the vote counts, just As a reference, there is no need to argue like this. According to the king, why not vote? Elder Sun Situ, are you afraid of everyone voting?"

"Of course I'm not afraid." When Li Daozong said this, he could be regarded as hitting the weakness of Changsun Wuji. He swallowed and nodded, "Okay, then...anonymous voting, voting meaning! By Chu Suiliang Responsible for counting notarization."

"Good."

The little officials immediately prepared pens and inks and other things to wait on them. Everyone drew marks such as circles and crosses on a small piece of paper, folded them and handed them to Chu Suiliang. Then, they returned to their seats and watched Chu Suiliang's statistics together with breath-holding.

"Yes, one vote."

"Yes, three votes..."

"No... there are six votes here!"

……

With the progress of Chu Suiliang's statistics, everyone's hearts are up and down. Qin Mubai also felt more and more unsure. In fact, he did not have the slightest certainty that he could win by trickery in this way. It's just that through this method, Changsun Wuji's personal influence and power can be downplayed. To weaken the opponent is to increase oneself, such a thing can be done.

The count of votes is coming to an end, and to Qin Mubai's surprise, the votes for and against votes are parallel, and there is not much difference. Seeing that the tickets in Chu Suiliang's hand were about to be counted, the comparison between the two sides was actually 46 to 45.

The votes against the battle are only one vote ahead.

Changsun Wuji's face became a little ugly. In the past two meetings, only a few people including Li Ji advocated sending troops to oppose his views. He didn't expect that on the surface, many people admired his eldest grandson Wuji, but they had other ideas in their hearts.

This is just slap Changsun Wuji in the face!

"There are three votes left...Two votes in favor. Forty-seven to forty-six, the support votes are one vote ahead. This last vote...a bit interesting, it is against Lanzhou’s sending of troops, and it has a signature "Chu Suiliang glanced at Wei Zheng and said, "Gong Xuancheng signed and voted against Lanzhou's use of troops. In this way, forty-seven levels are at odds with each other."

Everyone was shocked, and Changsun Wuji looked at Wei Zheng in surprise. He didn't expect that this bad old man had been in trouble for a long time, and he actually had the same opinion as himself.

"What do you think of me?" Wei Zheng said sternly, "Wei is not the right person. I am opposed to Lanzhou's use of troops. What's wrong?"

Qin Mubai was a little bit dumbfounded now, both upset and funny. Originally, he thought that Wei Zhenghui was an ally of his own. He didn't realize that he and Changsun Wuji were on one side.

This is beyond everyone's expectations!

It's better now, the two sides are in a draw, and they are clearly at odds. However, Qin Mubai was very satisfied with the "draw" situation. At least, now Changsun Wuji has no excuse to make a final decision, saying that Lanzhou will not play.

"Xuancheng, now you can talk about it, why not let Lanzhou send troops?" Changsun Wuji sighed in secret and threw the hot Shan Wei to Wei Zheng, asking him to come forward and offend others. Anyway, this bad old man has never been afraid of offending people.

Wei Zheng didn't evade, and said, "Then I will talk about my opinion. At the beginning of Zhenguan, I was in charge of the Academy of Tibetan Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and the People's Livelihood in Yanwu Xiuwen, thus making the people living and working in peace. In the past two years, there have been repeated wars, the national treasury is empty, and the military and civilians are suffering. The struggle with Tubo is nothing more than Tuconghun as the core. Now, since Tuyuhun has belonged to the Tang Dynasty, it is still fighting with it. Previously, the Tubo sent envoys to Datang to ask for a marriage plan. Only because of his negligence, he felt resentment and left his sleeves..."

"Wait!" Li Daozong suddenly said, interrupting Wei Zheng's words, and said, "Wei Xianggong, what does it mean to be'sniff' against him?" You said this because the officials of Honghe Temple treated him Not enough, or is my Li Daozong's daughter not worthy of his Tubo's Zanpu abandoned sect praise?"
