Those years when I fished in Zhenwu Division

Chapter 358 Voting
The next day.

Before dawn, the civil and military officials got up early to wash themselves, then dressed neatly, went out and got on the carriage, and then drove towards the palace.

Two days have passed since the shocking incident. The imperial palace, which was reduced to ruins, has once again stood in Tai'an City.

Compared with the ruins outside the palace that have not yet been cleaned up, people have to marvel that this is simply a miracle of construction.

All civil and military officials entered the Meridian Gate, crossed the Jinshui River, and then walked all the way to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

At this moment, Wang Jinghui no longer had the melancholy of yesterday. He looked extremely relaxed, as if he had anticipated everything that would happen in the court today, and he could even nod and smile at the officials around him.

In the crowd, Jiang Shunjie frowned slightly as he watched this scene.

The expressions on Wang Jinghui and Huo Yu's faces made it seem like they had everything figured out. Could it be that they had already thought of some solution?
It's just that there is only one throne, but both of them showed relaxed expressions. Did they also think of how to divide the throne into two?
Even if they thought of a way, how could Wei Lianyi just stand by and let the situation develop?
Also, as Wei Lianyi's man, if the new king is chosen from the eldest prince and the second prince, he will inevitably face a reckoning.

This is naturally something he cannot accept.

He couldn't help but be curious about how Wang Jinghui and Huo Yu responded.

Thinking of what Wei Lianyi called him over last night and said to him what he said, Jiang Shunjie couldn't help but look a little weird.

It seems that the court today will be very lively.

All the civil and military officials came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and then each stood in their own positions, waiting for everyone to arrive.

About half the time it took for the incense sticks to be lit, all the civil and military officials arrived. The eldest prince, the second prince, and Wei Lianyi, all dressed in mourning robes, also came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Cough cough."

Wang Jinghui climbed all the way to the high platform, stood in front of the throne, looked around and said loudly: "It has been two days since the death of the late emperor, and the position of the new emperor is still unresolved. This old minister is very worried."

"The former emperor defended the country of Wei with his life, but at the court, he was involved in a dispute over the position of the new king."

"If the late emperor knew anything about it, I'm afraid it would be difficult to rest in peace."

"Everyone, a day has passed. Have you ever thought of a good strategy to select a new king from the eldest prince, second prince, and third princess?"

After Wang Jinghui finished speaking, the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony fell into a brief silence, and then began to make noise like a vegetable market.

Wei Lianyi just watched all this with cold eyes and did not speak first.

The court itself was controlled by Wang Jinghui and Huo Yu, and the suggestions given by the people below were nothing more than their advance instructions.

But she was also very curious about what methods they would come up with to give themselves a strong position in this competition.

"Snapped!"

"quiet!"

After a moment of debate, a father-in-law in the palace whipped the ground heavily with a long whip, and the noisy scene in the palace finally quieted down.

Yin Xuchun, the Minister of War, stood up at this moment and said loudly:
"Master Chief Assistant, in order to avoid the delay in deciding the position of the new king, I have thought of a way. I would like to ask everyone present to show me."

Seeing that the first person to stand up was Yin Xuchun, Wei Lianyi couldn't help but be startled.

Yin Xuchun was Huo Yu's man, and he was the first to stand up. Could it be that Huo Yu and Wang Jinghui had also reached some kind of cooperation secretly?

She looked at Yin Xuchun calmly, and couldn't help but wonder what plan they had come up with after they discussed it all day yesterday.

There was a flash of light in Wang Jinghui's eyes, and then he said with a smile: "Sir Yin, it's okay. If it can be helpful in selecting a new king, then Mr. Yin can be considered as sharing the worries of the late emperor!"

Facing the gazes of everyone in the court, Yin Xuchun said loudly: "The method I thought of is actually very simple."

"Since the eldest prince, second prince, and third princess are all interested in the throne, let's hold a vote in this court."

"Every civil and military official here has a vote, and they each choose the prince or princess they like."

"Because there are three people who are eligible to be voted, the eldest prince, so today is the primary election. The two people with the most votes among the three will be selected by the court. Then there will be another election in the morning tomorrow to select the ones with the most votes. The person with the most will succeed to the throne of emperor."

"I don't know what you think?"

After hearing Yin Xuchun's words, Wei Lianyi couldn't help but flash a sneer at the corner of her mouth.

Yin Xuchun's proposal was directly aimed at her.

What does it mean for the civil and military officials in the court to vote and choose two people first?

She was the only one in the court, Jiang Shunjie, and she hadn't had time to develop other people for her own use.

In other words, this vote will kick her out first, and then return to the situation where the eldest prince and the second prince compete for the throne.

Wang Jinghui glanced at the civil and military officials, and then said: "I wonder what you think of Master Yin's proposal?"

"The lower officials agree!"

"The lower officials agree!"

"The lower officials agree!"

"This is a good idea, and I agree with it!"

"."

For a time, all the civil and military officials in the court came out to echo. It was obvious that the two sides had communicated with each other yesterday, and now they were just reproducing the content in the court.

Both the civil and military factions agreed, and it almost occupied most of the voices in the court.

Obviously Wang Jinghui and Huo Yu are planning to kick Wei Lianyi out first, and then start the final battle.

"Cough cough."

Wang Jinghui coughed lightly, and then said: "Since most of the officials in the court agree to elect the new king by voting, then..."

But before he could finish his follow-up, Wei Lianyi had already glanced at Jiang Shunjie.

At this time, it was definitely not a good time for her to speak. Jiang Shunjie was her best mouthpiece.

Jiang Shunjie sighed softly in his heart, and then his expression turned upside down, obviously looking like he was risking his life.

"slow!"

Jiang Shunjie stood out and said loudly.

For a moment, everyone in the court looked at him.

Wang Jinghui and Huo Yu looked at each other, with a glint in their eyes.

"Lord Jiang, most people in the court now agree to elect the new king through voting. Why are you interfering with the election of the new king?"

Wang Jinghui showed anger and said in a deep voice: "Do you want to deliberately keep the throne of the Emperor high and cause the Wei Dynasty to fall apart?"

No matter what you want to say, put your hat on first. This is obviously knocking Jiang Shunjie.

How can you, with one person's power, affect the panic in the court?
Jiang Shunjie did not give in at all: "Master Chief Assistant, you have also said before that we should let all civil and military officials speak freely and find a way to elect a new king as soon as possible."

"I have a good idea. I don't even need to wait until tomorrow. It only takes half an hour to decide on the candidate for the new king."

Wang Jinghui said in a deep voice: "Then please tell Mr. Jiang whether there is any way that everyone here can choose a new king in half an hour."

Most of the people in the court now belong to both of them. With both parties briefly reaching cooperation, what if Jiang Shunjie comes up with a great idea?
As long as people on both sides of them disapprove of this matter, then even if you are white, you can also be described as black.

Jiang Shunjie said: "Before the founding of the Wei Dynasty, princes coexisted in various parts of the Kyushu, and they were divided and ruled."

"The ancestor emperor went north from Yunzhou, swept through Bahe and established the Wei Dynasty."

"It is precisely because the ancestor emperor had a cultivation level as great as the heaven and earth that he was able to unify the nine states and establish the great Wei Dynasty, which has been passed down for 500 years."

"For the Wei Dynasty, which was founded by force, the emperor's cultivation level will be related to the stability of the Wei Dynasty."

"In my opinion, since the Wei Dynasty established its country by force, it should follow the fine tradition of the ancestors and emperors who conquered the world."

"Since the position of the new king is up in the air, if you want to choose the new king, you should do it through a martial arts competition."

"The eldest prince, the second prince, and the third princess will have a competition, and the winner will succeed to the throne!"

"You don't need to wait until tomorrow, it only takes half an hour to choose a new king." "I wonder what everyone here thinks?"

Whoa!
Jiang Shunjie's words immediately caused an uproar in the court.

No one thought that Jiang Shunjie's proposal was so simple and crude.

Select the final new king through a competition?

The eldest prince Wei Zongyuan and the second prince Wei Zongyue looked at each other in astonishment, and their expressions couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

Wei Lianyi has now been promoted to the Hidden Dragon Realm, but the two of them are still warriors in the Yu Leap Realm.

If the new king is really selected through a competition, then even if the two of them go together, they will not be Wei Lianyi's opponent.
Just like what Wang Jinghui and Huo Yu thought of, they wanted to kick Wei Lianyi out first.

The method Wei Lianyi came up with was even simpler and cruder, which was to directly force the two of them out and then take over the throne himself.

"Snapped!"

"quiet!"

The father-in-law once again hit the hall with a long whip and shouted sternly.

Wang Jinghui said in a deep voice: "It is certainly a good idea to select a new king through a martial arts competition, but for the three eldest princes, the sword has no eyes, and there is inevitably the possibility of accidental injury."

"The bones of the late emperor are not yet cold. If the three eldest princes were to fight for the throne and suffer any damage, wouldn't it mean that the late emperor's heart would be chilled?"

"good."

Huo Yu also came out and echoed: "Back then, the ancestors and emperors really needed to rely on force to conquer the world, but now that the Wei Dynasty has been established for many years, and it is time to defend the country, force cannot solve all problems."

"No."

Jiang Shunjie shook his head and said loudly: "If the late emperor had absolute force, how could any traitor dare to rebel?"

"If the late emperor put down this rebellion in a flash, how could there be three eldest princes competing for the throne in the court?"

"Now that the traitor Bai Hu has commanded Song Jingfu to escape, who can guarantee when he will make a comeback?"

Hearing the words Song Jingfu, the hearts of all the civil and military officials present sank.

As Jiang Shunjie said, if Song Jingfu makes a comeback, can the Wei Dynasty, which has just suffered a great chaos, still be able to withstand it?
Now that the late emperor has passed away, no one in the Wei Dynasty can be Song Jingfu's opponent.

Seeing everyone fell into silence, Jiang Shunjie took advantage of the situation and said: "In the opinion of the lower official, only absolute force can stabilize the Wei Dynasty."

"What do you guys think?"

"Your Majesty agrees to this matter!"

At this moment, a neutral official in the court finally stood up.

Then the No.2 official stood up and said loudly: "I also agree!"

Obviously they are aware of this. If Song Jingfu makes a comeback, the Wei Dynasty will still not be able to escape the possibility of being overthrown.

Wei Lianyi has already shown good fighting prowess, and will have more opportunities to compete with Song Jingfu in the future.

If one of the eldest prince and the second prince succeeds to the throne, Song Jingfu may have destroyed the Wei Dynasty before they have grown up.

Seeing that the court had chosen a neutral side and now chose to side with Wei Lianyi, both Wang Jinghui and Huo Yu looked extremely ugly.

They thought that Wei Lianyi might launch a counterattack, but they didn't expect that her counterattack would be so simple and crude.

It was the first time in the 500 years since the founding of the Wei Dynasty that a new king was decided through a martial arts competition.

The two of them had not thought about how to deal with this, so naturally they were a little overwhelmed.

Wang Jinghui sighed softly in his heart, and then said: "Since the second method appeared in the court, you should go back and think about it first to see which method is better. This is the end of today's morning meeting."

"The matter of selecting a new king is put on hold for the time being. We will discuss it again tomorrow. Retreat from the court!"

Seeing Wang Jinghui end the morning court in a panic, Wei Lianyi couldn't help but flash a sneer at the corner of her mouth.

Seeing the civil and military officials walking out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Wei Lianyi murmured in her heart: "This good show has just begun."

After she left the palace, she walked all the way to the Zhenwu Division.

In the reception room of Zhenfu Mansion, she saw the four Su Yu people waiting here.

"grown ups."

Su Yu and the other two who were chatting quickly stopped chatting when they saw Wei Lianyi's return, stood up and said respectfully.

"Ah."

Wei Lianyi nodded, and then said: "There is nothing else, everyone should go back and work on their own."

"Yes!"

Su Yu and the other four responded, then turned around and walked out.

"By the way, Su Yu, I have something to do with you. You can follow me to the study."

Su Yu paused, and under the puzzled looks of Liang Yuxuan and the others, he turned around and followed Wei Lianyi towards the study.

"How's the situation?"

Su Yu came to the study and asked with a smile.

He was also a little curious about how shocked the civil and military officials in the court would be when they heard that a new king would be selected through a competition.

"Hmph, two old foxes."

Wei Lianyi sneered, and then told Su Yu the way Wang Jinghui and others thought of voting for the new king.

After hearing this method of voting, Su Yu couldn't help but feel happy, and said with a smile: "It seems that both of them now think you are a serious problem."

Wei Lianyi said: "As for how to spread the news in the court, it's up to you."

Su Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, within half a day, I guarantee that the entire Tai'an City will know about this matter. The court may not support you by then, but the people and martial artists in the entire Tai'an City will definitely think that You are the most suitable person to succeed to the throne."

At this time, the importance of mouthpieces becomes crucial.

It can incite public opinion and make many unfounded things gradually turn into ironclad laws and even conclusive things when they are widely circulated.

Once it became known that the method of selecting a new monarch through martial arts competition in the court was spread, and the eldest prince and the second prince did not dare to challenge, and finally, the third princess Wei Lianyi was a woman who was not inferior to her men, and was a rare empress in the history.
As the mouthpiece fanned the flames among the people, Wei Lianyi's reputation gradually became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

At that time, even the civil and military officials in the court will have to consider whether to go against public opinion.

Even if they forcefully turn a blind eye to public opinion, there is absolutely no way they can ignore this power.

They are no longer dealing with Wei Lianyi alone, but against the people of the world.

When the people all over the world believe that Wei Lianyi should succeed to the throne, the competition in the court will become more and more complicated.

However, Su Yu also knew very well that there was probably no way for Wei Lianyi to succeed to the throne just by instigating public opinion.

Wei Lianyi's opponents were still the civil and military officials in the court.

Only by getting them all settled will Wei Lianyi's ascension to the throne be a matter of course.

However, he didn't think of a better way. For now, he could only make Wei Lianyi as invincible as possible.

Wei Lianyi nodded and said, "Well, then I'll leave this matter to you."

"My lord, I have resigned from that humble position."

Su Yu cupped his fists and bowed, then turned and left.

He still had to go back and take the Niwan Dan to attack the Soul Palace realm, so there was no time to delay.

Looking at Su Yu's leaving figure, Wei Lianyi's eyes flashed and he murmured: "Wang Jinghui, Huo Yu, I want to see how you should deal with it."
