Saint of the Confucian way

Sheng Boyuan stayed where he was and his face changed.

Not only Sheng Boyuan, some officials also showed shame on their faces.

As for other officials, there is a clear distinction, either calm or angry.

Sheng Boyuan still exposed the inner thoughts of many people.

In order to avoid the closure of Shengdao Town, it's not a big deal to sacrifice a serious injury, and it's difficult for Wenwei to move further.

Sheng Boyuan was silent and said, "Fang Xusheng, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean that. I just think that for the sake of panoramic country, the cost of admitting your mistake is small, but the harvest is great."

"The price and benefit are not up to you." Fang Yun looked at Sheng Boyuan coldly.

"I won't argue with you. Anyone with a clear eye can see it. Since Fang Xusheng doesn't want to admit his mistake, we can only trade with others at the expense of other interests." Sheng Boyuan said.

Fang Yun said slowly, "it doesn't hurt to sell Ye Tian."

"You..." Sheng Boyuan didn't expect Fang Yun to be so rude.

Other officials were helpless, and some were still laughing.

Zhang poyue said with a smile: "if the words are rough, the reason is not rough. What miscellaneous families want to get is basically laid down by Fang Xusheng. If anyone sells the interests of Jingguo regardless of good or bad, of course, it is that the cub doesn't feel bad about selling yetian."

Sheng Boyuan suddenly felt a little tired. He didn't expect that Fang Yun was such a reckless person, which was completely different from Fang Yun in his mind.

In Sheng Boyuan's heart, although Fang Yun is an arbitrary person, he rarely does selfish things and has always been selfless. Today, Fang Yun does not sacrifice himself for Jingguo as before.

Sheng Boyuan sighed and said: "Well, since I can't persuade Fang Xusheng, I'll vote directly according to Fang Xusheng's words. All cabinet ministers, cabinet counsellors and cabinet bachelors can participate in the anonymous vote. If two-thirds of cabinet members agree, we can hold the peace talks, otherwise we will give up the peace talks. Fang Xusheng has already made it clear that it is not suitable to preside over the vote, and please Yang Xiang to take care of it By vote. "

Yang Xuwen did not immediately agree. Like all officials, he looked at Fang Yun.

No one can bypass Fang Yun to decide the vote.

Fang Yun said, "then please ask Yang Xiang to preside over the vote."

Yang Xuwen nodded and said, "that old man will preside over the vote. Please list your cabinet members."

Subsequently, all cabinet members stepped out of the official queue.

The other officials looked at the cabinet ministers, counsellors and bachelors, with their eyes shining slightly.

Former cabinet members were considered semi honorary, because although some old ministers or a few officials received cabinet titles, they themselves had little power.

Since Fang Yun reformed the cabinet and readjusted it, now only serving officials can get the cabinet rank increase, and after obtaining the cabinet rank increase, there are clear benefits. In addition to the increase of various benefits, the biggest benefit is to participate in the vote and really determine the direction of the country.

Holding the official seal, Yang Xuwen first explained the voting process, and finally let all cabinet members hold the official seal to decide whether to agree to peace talks with miscellaneous experts.

The cabinet vote comes from the holy courtyard, so it is also voted with bamboo cards.

The cabinet members put their hands on the official seal. Then, one blue bamboo card after another was erected in front of Yang Xuwen. The front side was forward to support the peace talks, the back side was forward to oppose the peace talks, and the flat side was abstaining.

There are only three cabinet members and only more than 20 counsellors, but the total number of cabinet members is more than 200, all of whom are powerful officials in Jingguo.

Finally, the result of the vote came out.

Seventeen abstained, 39 opposed and 193 supported.

Seeing this figure, many people look very strange.

After the reform of the cabinet, Fang Yun used his power to include many party members into the cabinet and named them cabinet counsellors or cabinet bachelors. In fact, the total number of Party members in the cabinet is more than 50, nearly a quarter, which is a well deserved power.

However, at present, there must be some party members who support the peace talks, which is contrary to the attitude of the Party movement.

This has become very interesting. I do not know whether Fang Yun does not want to force party members to fully comply with him, whether someone in the Fang party has secretly opposed Fang Yun, or whether people in the Fang party are in favor of the peace talks out of public interest.

Yang Xuwen looked at Fang Yun and said, "does Fang Xiang have anything to say?"

Both Zuo Xiang and the monarch have the right to veto and re vote.

Fang Yun shook his head.

Yang Xuwen looked at the curtain and said, "do you have something to say?"

Jingjun said, "I support the cabinet ministers' choice."

This is the first formal vote in Jingguo's history.

Many officials didn't feel anything when they heard Fang Yun's words, but they felt strange when they heard what Jing Jun said.

Because, although the emperor has changed his intention many times in history because of hundreds of officials, this is definitely the first time that Jingjun has recognized the power of officials. It can even be said that since then, Jingguo officials have really competed with the monarch and have real power in jurisprudence.

Not entirely by the monarch.

A few officials looked at Fang Yun and their eyes moved slightly. They suspected that Fang Yun had also contributed to the vote.

In fact, both the Empress Dowager and the royal family have been openly and secretly preventing the cabinet from voting, because as long as a vote is formed, it means that the system may be fixed and difficult to overthrow, greatly weakening the monarchy.

However, this vote is obviously beneficial to Jingguo and unfavorable to the other party. The Empress Dowager and the royal family have no reason to oppose it.

They are happy to see Fang Yun fail.

Yang Xuwen announced in public: "A total of 249 people participated in the vote, more than two-thirds of the cabinet members, and the vote was valid. Seventeen abstained, 39 opposed, 193 supported, and more than two-thirds of the voters supported. The result of the vote was that Jingguo supported peace talks with miscellaneous experts. Today's vote will be recorded and a backup will be submitted to the holy see for verification."

Many people were secretly relieved.

Sheng Boyuan sighed and said: "then, next, we should establish a temporary peace negotiation department. The bottom line and some detailed rules of the negotiation should be decided by the temporary peace negotiation department, and it is not appropriate to discuss in detail here. As for the specific candidates of the temporary peace negotiation department, it should be decided by the cabinet collectively, and I will not intervene any more."

Many officials nodded softly.

Cao De'an looked at Fang Yun and said, "Mr. Zuo Xiang, you are the first of all officials. You should be responsible for establishing this temporary peace negotiation department."

Fang Yun said: "Ben voted against it, still respected the cabinet's decision and would not oppose the peace talks. However, Ben's preconceived opposition to the peace talks is no longer suitable for participating in the peace talks. Therefore, it's up to you to decide. Our Zuo Xiangge will not intervene in the peace talks."

Cao De'an hesitated, but Sheng Boyuan said, "it's wrong. Zuo Xiangge is the head of the cabinet. If you don't participate in this event, it's not equal to indirectly resisting the cabinet's decision-making. Zuo Xiangge must participate in this matter and occupy a dominant position."

Some young officials are confused. The normal situation should be to seize power from each other. Now it's better that one doesn't want power and the other is forced to give it.
