Can I get to the other side?

"Someone votes for me?"

When Guo Jia heard Jia Xu's words, he was a little surprised. He was a civil servant and not a military general. Why was there anyone who voted for him?

Jia Xu took the vote count list and nodded and smiled, "Yes, there are quite a few votes, more than 400 votes, but Kong Ming's votes are several times that of yours."

"He has more than 1,800 votes in total."

This number surprised both Guo Jia and Fa Zheng.

Fa Zheng couldn't help but ask, "Didn't the vice president screen the military generals? Why are there anyone who voted for Kong Ming and Fengxiao?"

"And I remember that Wen Gong only had more than 2,000 votes. How could Kong Ming have so many votes?"

He really didn't understand why the soldiers in the army voted for civil officials, which was too strange.

Jia Xu said without a doubt: "What's so surprising about this? Fengxiao and Kong Ming have led troops to fight. Although they are not military generals, they also have military achievements."

"Isn't it normal for the soldiers to recognize their ability to vote for them?"

"As for why Kong Ming has so many votes... I think it should be because of the Battle of Red Cliff. That approach shocked many people."

Speaking of this, Jia Xu's face resentment appeared again and cursed, "But these guys didn't even vote for me, I only had more than 100 votes."

Although he has always been behind the scenes and rarely leads his troops, he has made a solid contribution in that Chang'an offensive and defensive battle.

For this reason, he almost lost his life.

And he worked so hard that he had only received more than 100 tickets, which really made him feel a little unbalanced.

Guo Jia and Fa Zheng couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

After all, Jia Xu is the leader of the embroidered clothing envoy, and his reputation is not very good outside, so Jia Xu was also implicated and his reputation is somewhat a bit crappy.

Sima Yi looked at the three people talking and laughing, his face full of confusion, and he felt that the words and words they said were particularly strange.

What vote? What to do when voting?

He just took more than ten days off, but he felt like he had been away from the court for ten years, and he could not keep up with the changes at all.

"that……"

Sima Yi raised his hand, hesitated for a while, and asked, "What does this vote mean? What's the use?"

Guo Jia said after hearing this: "Your Majesty founded the Royal Military Academy of the Han Dynasty. Although His Majesty personally took over the position of dean, the vice president is vacant."

"For fairness, His Majesty ordered the soldiers in the army to vote for those they thought were best suited to serve as deputy director."

"In ten days, the person who gets the most votes is the vice president."

"At present, General Zhang Liao has the most votes, followed by Duke Wen, General Zhao has the second one, and then Zhuge Kongming."

"He has so many votes that even the Old General Huang can't compare to."

Zhuge Liang had a lot of votes, and he could beat Huang Zhong, which was something that no one expected.

"What?!"

Sima Yi was shocked after hearing this. A bad feeling instantly enveloped his whole body, and his heart seemed to be grabbed by an invisible big hand.

Zhuge Liang was actually secretly planning a big deal again!

You should know that since Zhuge Liang shined in the debate on Weishui, he has won great reputation and fame.

Now he is running for the position of vice president, which is clearly intended to completely suppress him so that he will never turn over!

Sima Yi's heart was turbulent, but he forced himself to suppress the throbbing and asked, "How many votes do I have now?"

He has also participated in and directed many battles. He became famous by riding alone in Tongguan. He didn't believe that no one would vote for him.

"I'll take a look..."

Jia Xu picked up the booklet and flipped it out, then said, "I found it, there are quite a few votes, which are a little more than Fengxiao's votes. 1,271 votes, which is very good."

"It seems that Zhongda's ability is also recognized by many soldiers."

There are 1,271 votes, and this number of votes is indeed not small. Chen Gongdu only has more than 300 votes.

But after hearing Jia Xu's words, Sima Yi not only did not feel happy, but his face turned pale and his body began to shake slightly.

He actually... only 1,271 votes?

Zhuge Liang has 500 more votes than him!

"Is this the gap between me and him? Not only can I compare my talents, but I can't compare my prestige in the army."

"One, two hundred and seventy-one votes, one, two hundred and seventy-one votes...haha."

"Since you have a good fortune, how can you have a bright future?"

At this moment, Sima Yi felt ashamed, his heart was filled with deep frustration, and he could no longer raise any strength.

He has been the "child of other people's families" in his mouth since he was a child. Only others have ever felt frustrated in front of him, but no one has ever made him feel frustrated.

But this pride was shattered with Zhuge Liang's appearance.

Zhuge Liang could easily surpass him in any aspect. Whenever he narrowed the gap through various efforts and thought he had finally caught up with the other party, he suddenly realized that the gap between the two sides was as far as 100,800 miles.

It's really ridiculous.

Fa Zheng realized that Sima Yi's face was a little wrong, so he asked, "Zhongda, what's wrong with you?"

Sima Yi slowly came to his senses and shook his head and said, "It's nothing... I just suddenly felt a little uncomfortable again."

"I'd better take a few days at home."

After saying that, Sima Yi turned around and left the Xuan room, with a little desolate and lonely back.

Watching his figure disappear at the door, Fa Zhengcai withdrew his gaze and wondered, "What's wrong with him? Why is he looking dead?"

Jia Xu understood and smiled: "Why else? It's because Kong Ming got more votes than him."

"Sima Zhongda is arrogant and has always regarded Kong Ming as his rival, competing with him everywhere."

"Kong Ming won the debate and shined before. Now he has received more votes than him. He naturally feels frustrated."

"Let him take it easy."

Although Sima Yi's ability and intelligence are weaker than Zhuge Liang, he is top-notch compared with other university scholars and is on par with Guo Jia.

It's a pity that Sima Yi's utilitarianism and desire to win are too strong. If he is willing to calm down, he will not be much weaker than Zhuge Liang.

But this can only be seen by Sima Yi himself, and it is useless for others to say it.

The person in charge is confused.

...

After leaving the palace, Sima Yi returned home in a daze, came to the study alone and sat there until dark.

He was thinking about something crucial.

Or a bold plan.

The competition for the vice president may be his only chance to surpass Zhuge Liang in his life. If he loses this opportunity, he will never be able to compete with Zhuge Liang again.

Zhuge Liang's momentum will only grow stronger, and no matter how hard he tries to catch up, he will be left far behind.

So, he must be cautious.

"There are two choices before me. One is to accept my fate, give up competing with Zhuge Liang, and be willing to be under him from now on."

"The second is to canvass for votes privately and win the position of vice president."

Sima Yi looked at the flickering candlelight, the light of the candlelight reflected in his eyes, and he was constantly weighing the pros and cons in his heart.

Private canvassing is a dishonorable means, even if he wins, it is not fair, but... he is unwilling.

He is unwilling to be trampled under the feet of Zhuge Liang!

Thinking of this, Sima Yi suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the burning candle, and extinguished the candlelight in his palm.

"Once, just this time."

Sima Yi muttered to himself, his eyes were incomparably firm - he must win this vice president competition no matter what!

For this, he would not hesitate to give his soul to the devil!

He only wants to win this time!

...

Since the failure of canvassing, Lu Bu no longer cares about his votes.

First, he couldn't canvass even if he wanted to, and second, Zhang Liao didn't canvass, so it was a bit embarrassing for him to canvass for votes.

So he decided to wait for the final result in ten days.

However, what he didn't expect was that one person's votes came from behind, slowly surpassing Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and him, and finally tied with Zhang Liao, evenly matched!

"Sima Yi has so many supporters?"

Lu Bu looked at the latest vote count book and said in surprise, his tone full of unbelievable.

In the past few days, Sima Yi's votes have been rising.

From more than a thousand votes at the beginning to two thousand, then to three thousand, and finally to the current 4,682 votes!

His votes are 4,100, and Zhang Liao's are 4,610. Both of them were suppressed by Sima Yi!

This result was something Lu Bu never expected.

No mistake, one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Chen Gong frowned when he heard this number and said, "I remember that Sima Zhongda only had more than a thousand votes in the first three days? Why did it increase so much in just a few days?"

Lu Bu pouted and said, "You ask me, who should I ask? I didn't expect that this kid, who usually doesn't show off, is actually so respected by the soldiers."

"You can't judge a person by his appearance. I underestimated him."

Lu Bu's tone was a little emotional.

But Chen Gong did not let his words solve his doubts. He shook his head and said, "Something is wrong. The number of votes has increased too fast. It shouldn't have increased so much all of a sudden."

"Are you sure the number of votes is not wrong?"

If there are many people supporting Sima Yi, his number of votes should have caught up with Lu Bu and Zhang Liao in the first few days, instead of suddenly exploding after a few days.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "It's just counting the votes. How can it be wrong? Gongtai, you think too much."

Chen Gong thought for a long time and finally nodded, "Maybe."

"Okay, I won't chat with you anymore. I want to go to the palace to see my good granddaughter. I haven't seen her for a long time."

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he patted his butt, got up and left the tent.

After he left, Chen Gong continued to handle military affairs in the tent, but he put down the brush in his hand not long after.

"No, I have to check what's going on."

"Something is wrong with the number of votes."

Chen Gong thought to himself that he always felt that Sima Yi's number of votes increased too fast, and there was something strange about it.

It's not that he was targeting Sima Yi, but the final result of the vote was related to who would be the vice president, and there was no room for error.

...

Weiyang Palace, in the Imperial Garden.

A delicate little girl was playing in the garden accompanied by several eunuchs and palace maids.

"I am Zhao Zilong, the White Horse General!"

"Little thief, take my shot!"

The little girl rode on a eunuch, waving the small wooden stick in her hand and hitting his head, shouting in a baby voice, looking very cute.

This little girl was naturally the eldest princess Liu Ying.

Although Liu Ying was only a little over two years old, she showed a talent different from ordinary children. Not only could she run around, but she could even speak clearly.

At such a young age, she was already a bully in the palace. She ran around the palace every day, followed by a group of eunuchs, who were afraid that something would happen to this little ancestor.

Wherever she went, there was chaos.

Just when Liu Ying was having fun, a figure appeared at the entrance of the Imperial Garden, but she didn't notice it and still rode on the eunuch to play the role of "general".

Until the figure came behind her and said coldly: "What are you doing?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Liu Ying subconsciously raised her head and saw a face covered with frost.

"Father, Father?"

Liu Ying was startled, and after reacting, she quickly got off the eunuch, stepped forward and hugged Liu Xie's thigh, and said coquettishly: "Father, hold me..."

But Liu Xie didn't buy her trick, and said lightly: "Why don't you continue? I saw you waving the stick just now, and you really have some style of General Zhao."

Liu Ying blinked and asked tentatively: "Really?"

"How outrageous!"

Liu Xie's face suddenly darkened, and he scolded: "Do you really think I am praising you? When did General Zhao bully the servants! As the eldest princess, you bully the eunuchs, is this what you should do!"

Liu Xie's tone was very stern, and he didn't look like a kind father at ordinary times.

Liu Ying was his child. As the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty, she had a noble status, but if she was not taught well, she would only cause countless troubles in the future.

On weekdays, he didn't have time to discipline her, but since he bumped into her today, he had to show his majesty as a father.

Liu Ying pouted and said nothing, tears welling up in her eyes, looking extremely lovable.

The eunuchs and maids beside her were also distressed when they saw this. The eunuch who was beaten just now whispered: "Your Majesty, I am actually fine. The princess just likes to play..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Xie cast a cold look at him.

The eunuch was so scared that he immediately knelt on the ground and trembled.

"Go to see your mother with me!"

Liu Xie retracted his gaze, said this coldly, and turned to the direction of Lu Lingqi's palace.

Liu Ying lowered her head, wiped her tears, and followed closely behind.

Liu Xie's steps were very big, and she had some difficulty following, but Liu Xie ignored it and just kept moving forward.

Soon the father-in-law arrived at the Pepper Room.

At this time, both Lv Lingqi and Zhen Mi were there. They were shocked when they saw Liu Xie, but soon they saw Liu Ying, who was following behind Liu Xie with tears on her face.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

Zhen Mi stood up and asked, with a look of surprise on her face.

Lv Lingqi, as expected of a mother, said to Liu Ying with a cold face: "Ying'er, have you gotten into trouble?"

Liu Ying was very afraid of Lv Lingqi, and she couldn't help crying again after hearing that.

Zhen Mi felt very distressed when she saw this, and went forward to hug her in her arms to comfort her, while scolding Lv Lingqi: "Come on, don't scare the child like this."

"Sister, don't spoil her!"

Lv Lingqi's temper in disciplining her children was not as gentle as she was to the concubines, but rather quite strict.
