big dry son-in-law

Qin Mo hated the betrayal of his relatives even more.

Qin Youde nodded and said, "I understand. I will report to Your Majesty after returning to the capital."

"Youde, if I asked you to do this, would you be afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"Nightmare."

"Not afraid!" Qin Youde shook his head, "I still remember the miserable situation of the Qin clan back then, living under someone else's roof, not having enough food to eat, and being bullied every day.

The Qin clan is where it is today thanks to the hard work of their predecessors.

To me, anyone who doesn’t love the Qin people is their enemy.

Even if they have the blood of our Qin people flowing in their bodies, I will not recognize them.

Those who deserve to be killed must be killed.

If we don’t kill them, how will they know that they have done something wrong?”

Qin Mo nodded, patted his shoulder, said nothing, sighed, turned and left.

Qin Youde's eyes turned red the moment Qin Mo turned around.

No matter how nice the words sound, I can't stop the sadness in my heart.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty of not managing these people well." Qin Youde shouted at Qin Mo.

"It was intentional, but unintentional. You can't be blamed." Qin Mo just waved his hand without looking back, "Go and have a rest. Everyone has their own destiny. If they want to live a good life, then they shouldn't live it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Youde wiped his tears, looked ruthless, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind.

This time when he goes back, he will not let even the little ones go.

To cut the grass, you must remove the roots; to eradicate all evil, you must do it!

Even if he will be infamous for eternity, he will accept it!

The next day, there was a grand court meeting.

Qin Mo called all the court officials over.

He had been in Tokyo for so long, but he seldom held grand court meetings. The number of grand court meetings he held in a year was only a handful, and there was not even one this year.

Most of the time, each department holds its own meetings and then reports on its plans and results.

Only at the end of the year would Qin Mo look at the summary and then listen to their plans for the next year.

Many people felt uncomfortable wearing court robes.

Qin Chuan and others also wore court robes, walked over, and bowed deeply to Qin Mo and Qin Xiangru.

"Is everyone here?"

"Your Majesty, everyone is here!" the elder replied.

"Now that everyone is here, you can start your speeches. Please listen carefully and make your own choices."

To participate in an election, you must vote, even if it is an abstention vote.

Officials also have the power to abstain.

As the eldest son, Qin Chuan was naturally the first to give a speech.

Last night, he reflected on his mistakes, discussed countermeasures with his team all night, wrote a speech, and made full preparations before going on stage.

Everyone listened attentively.

After listening for a while, Qin Mo also found it interesting. It seemed that Qin Chuan had put in a lot of effort.

Afterwards, Qin Hai, Qin Shu and others also made great progress.

However, this is like choosing a topic. Some people choose topics that are inherently controversial, and controversy means topics, and topics will bring traffic and attention.

Both Qin Zhou and Qin Lei delivered their speeches long after the script was written, and their paces were similar. Their words were concise, to the point, and easy to understand.

It seems that there is an expert guiding behind the scenes.

Industrial development, scientific and technological strength, and rule of law ultimately stood out.

But there are other things that people are considering.

For example, the identity of the prince.

As the eldest son, Qin Chuan has great innate advantages.

Qin Zhou and Qin Lei are not legitimate sons. Although there is no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate sons now, the sons of the queen are always more in line with the choice of the Chinese people than the sons of concubines. In fact, this also involves the harem.

All children were no longer raised by the queen, but each child had his or her own child and raised it, which greatly reduced the mortality rate of princes in the harem.

The eunuchs in the harem have supervisory guards who are responsible for protecting these princes. Where they go every day, who they meet, and what they eat are all recorded.

And the queen has no right to see it.

This protection will last until the age of sixteen.

So over the years, apart from those who died of illness or were born prematurely due to congenital defects, there are really not many children who died.

After all, medical care is much more advanced now than before, and some problems can be detected through modern medicine.

Of course, this is all beside the point.

Qin Mo looked at them and said, "Now that everyone has finished their speeches, let's start voting."

There is a big box in front of each of the seven princes. Next, all the ministers just need to put the lot with their names on it into the box.

All this was done under the eyes of everyone.

It is clear at a glance who chose whom and who abstained.

Soon, everyone moved and cast their lots.

Twenty minutes later, everyone had finished voting.

Of the 1,500 ministers, more than 160 abstained from voting.

Those who abstain cannot participate in the next election.

It's not about giving up, but about waiting and watching, or in other words, not being optimistic about these people.

Of the remaining 1,340 people, more than 300 voted for Qin Chuan.

Most of these people are optimistic about his status as the eldest son.

Qin Hai suffered a disadvantage. He was the second son and his theme was similar to that chosen by Qin Chuan. Although there were some differences, the differences were not big, so he was at a disadvantage.

Only about fifty people chose him.

Qin Hai clenched his fists, his teeth almost breaking.

The more people there are, the more power he has available.

Of course, it is not the key. The key is the final experience, who has made greater achievements, and the final jury is the key.

Qin Shu's technological route has attracted 200 supporters.

Qin Zhou and Qin Lei are evenly matched, both between 300 and 300.

The eighth and ninth brothers, who only have a few dozen people, are the least favored by everyone.

Moreover, the topic they chose is too petty. Although they take a conservative approach, people generally do not look favorably upon conservatives nowadays.

The Ming Dynasty is developing so rapidly, is it okay to be conservative?

Qin Chuan looked at Qin Zhou and Qin Lei, who were also tit-for-tat. Of course, this targeting was not with murderous intent, but just normal competition between brothers.

Because he was the eldest son and a progressive, the number of people who chose them was surprisingly equal.

It seems that the topic is very important.

If I also choose the topics that they have figured out, the number of people might exceed five hundred, or even more.

In Xijing, there were five hundred people who chose him, but in Tokyo the number was far less.

But these people are enough and they are a particularly powerful force.

Of course, competition also has rules and power abuse is not allowed.

For example, if I need to do something with you and follow the normal process, but you deliberately block me in order to win the competition and the case is brought to the court, the worst case scenario is a warning and direct disqualification.

This also commands stillness.

Officials involved will also be severely punished.

It is under such high-pressure competition that competition appears transparent and fair.

For those "illegitimate princes", it is a huge protection.

This is also the most important force for the royal family to crush the conflict between legitimate and illegitimate children.

"The votes have been cast. The recorder has recorded them. Don't make any mistakes. After confirming that they are correct, publish them in the People's Daily newspaper and spread them all over the country so that everyone can see them clearly!" (End of this chapter)
