Wang Xingzhi looked at the table clock in the lobby several times in a row, and whispered a few words to Han Chengwu. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Han Chengwu slowly bowed his head, glanced at the scene again, and saw that everyone had almost finished understanding, so he said loudly: "Since this is the case, it will be the stage of anonymous singing in a while." Of course, this bearer is for all gentlemen, and for His Majesty the Emperor, everything is recorded. If there is no doubt, the nomination letter will be issued later, so please seize the final time for consideration! ”

After saying that, one after another bronzing cards were sent into the house.

Inside, the pages in the cardboard lid were blank, waiting for the reserve committee members to nominate their names.

Song Jicheng exhaled softly, and after writing down his number and nominator, he covered the box and handed it to Wang Xingzhi.

One nomination after another was compiled and handed in.

Zhu Cihong stood on the throne of the State Hall, writing something on a notepad casually, and from time to time raised his eyes to watch the staff of the preparatory committees in various provincial departments carry the loaded nomination books into the hall.

Under Zhu Cihong's throne, a row of positions was filled with the ministers of the cabinet, and on the smaller left and right side of the row, there were ministerial-level officials such as the author's six ministries and nine secretaries.

At this moment, the reserve committee members from various provincial departments walked out of the house, greeted each other, and finally arrived at their positions.

In the State Hall, which is large enough to accommodate 5,000 people, the seats in the front were full, and when Zhu Cihong put down the banknotes in his hand and began to look at the ballot boxes in the center, the atmosphere quieted down, and everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.

The vote was sung by Liu Zongzhou, the imperial historian of the left capital, and this famous governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate obviously won the trust of everyone, and took on this rather difficult and crucial job.

Liu Zongzhou sat on the top of the ticket counter, and one nomination after another was held high in the blank glass case, and handed to Liu Zongzhou in the eyes of everyone.

"Zhu Qi has one vote!"

"Zhang Xianyong's vote!"

"Qian Qianyi's vote!"

……

"Song Jicheng one vote!"

……

Offstage, Song Jicheng clenched his fists heavily, beside him, Song Lian's face was red, and he looked at His Majesty the Emperor with a comfortable demeanor and a majestic temperament on the throne, and his heart was surging uncontrollably.

"Member of the State Advisory Committee beside His Majesty the Emperor, such an honor, if it is done, then the thousands of stones and hundreds of taels of silver handed over are really worth it!" Thinking like this, Song Lian suddenly thought. How does His Majesty the Emperor feel about them?

All this, for Zhu Cihong, seems to be completely breezy.

For Zhu Cihong, who is rich all over the world and already has power, he naturally watched the intrigue of the committee members in the audience with ease.

Zhu Cihong used nomination and election instead of direct appointment to put His Majesty the Emperor in a transcendent position in the nomination of the State Advisory Council.

The commissioners needed all sorts of intrigues, but none of them would try to point the finger at the emperor. They are well aware that in order to be nominated as a full member, all they should do is lobby among the reserve members, state their ideas, or exchange interests.

In general, Zhu will not simply and rudely veto the results of the nomination. But His Majesty the Emperor apparently always maintained the most crucial veto power.

This means that any commissioner must always know who he or she is, and their core duty is to owe allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor.

After all, to put it bluntly, the State Advisory Council is just an advisory think tank.

However, for most of the well-informed people present, they clearly understood the value of this State Advisory Committee.

Because, His Majesty the Emperor will soon leave Beijing.

Your Majesty's future is the stars and the sea, the vast world, the expansion of the territory, and the great Ming hero.

Naturally, it is impossible to pile up domestic chores without dealing with them.

The examination and approval of the state plan and the budget plan means that the State Advisory Council will have full authority to examine and approve important political affairs as an authority trusted by His Majesty the Emperor.

It is conceivable that once His Majesty the Emperor is no longer in charge, the State Advisory Council will be able to exercise ample power in various fields to approve and approve the implementation of major political matters.

Of course, as for how Zhu Cihong controlled the State Advisory Council from thousands of miles away, that is another matter.

At least, when the State Advisory Council is officially put into operation, Zhu Cihong will not worry that the courtiers will not be able to work well in the absence of His Majesty the Emperor, and no one will approve a project when it is reported. In the same way, there is no need to worry about the courtiers behaving in the absence of His Majesty the Emperor.

At this point, the courtiers should smell a familiar smell.

In the past, His Majesty the Emperor used eunuchs and chamberlains as the inner court team to control the government, but now, His Majesty the Emperor has obviously returned another more advanced set of gameplay.

Offstage, one nomination after another was ticketed by Liu Zongzhou.

On the huge blackboard, one name after another was added with a shorthand orthography.

Eventually, the roll ends and the counting begins.

“……”

"Zhu Qi, thirteen votes!"

"Zhang Xianyong, seventeen votes!"

Kong Yinzhi...... Zero votes! ”

"Song Jicheng, ten votes!"

……

Names were sung one by one, and there was a commotion in the house.

In order to ensure that there would not be a large number of nominations to be voted on, there was also a preliminary plan for this state council, that is, as long as 10 votes were reached, there was a good chance that he would become a full member of the State Advisory Council through the direct appointment of His Majesty the Emperor in the by-election.

Song Jicheng looked at the number of votes he had just ten votes, and couldn't help but clench his fists heavily, and roared in a low voice, wanting to release his surprise emotions.

At first, Song Jicheng was a little embarrassed.

But soon, he looked at the joyful appearance on and off the field at the moment, and gradually relaxed.

At this moment, Song Lian suddenly led Zhao Zhiyu to stride over, and raised his hand towards Song Jicheng to congratulate: "Congratulations to Mr. Song, you have been elected as a member of the State Advisory Committee, congratulations, congratulations!" ”

Song Jicheng's face was as warm as jade, and he thanked Zhao Zhi decently, and after a few words of gossip sent Zhao Zhi away, he couldn't help but look at Song Lian angrily: "Why did you find him?" ”

"Doesn't my father know yet? The tenth nomination was nominated by Zhao Dongzhu! If it weren't for Zhao Dongzhu's vote, my father, the state councilor, would have no chance! Song Lian looked at Song Jicheng with a surprised face.

Seeing this, Song Jicheng went to inquire again, and then realized that the family that had been agreed before had actually regretted it!

You must know that the Song family is famous in Jiaodong, but it is not so good nationwide. This time, it was a waste of Niu Nose's strength to collect ten votes, and for this reason, one vote in the hand of Song Lian, who was also a reserve member, was also exchanged early. Unexpectedly, at the last moment, it was this sea owner who voted for his nomination.

Song Jicheng sighed in his heart, and most of the original ideas were reversed at this moment. Their Song family is not light in Jiaozhou, and the expedition company was optimistic about Jiaozhou's geographical advantages and wanted to develop Qingdao. I heard that this is still a place where His Majesty the Emperor once praised it.

However, Song Jicheng, like most gentry, was unwilling to change the status quo, and for this reason he was a staunch prohibitive faction. Now, Zhao Zhiyu's actions made Song Jicheng have to start thinking about his situation.

At the same time, on the stage, Liu Zongzhou struck a small mallet fiercely: "Quiet, quiet!" The Ming Dynasty political report for 278 is about to begin, and the voting on the first phase of the national plan and the 278 annual budget for 278 is about to begin. Please sit down and refrain from making noise. ”

Liu Zongzhou's gavel fell, and the Great Hall finally quieted down a little, and everyone quietly watched the court officials go on the field together.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is Li Banghua's appearance.

He made a report on behalf of the Ming Empire as the chief minister of the cabinet.

"Dear Emperor and members, on behalf of the Imperial Court, I would like to report to the General Assembly on the work of the Imperial Court, and ask His Majesty the Emperor to deliberate and invite the members of the State Advisory Council to give their opinions."

"In the past year, the Ming Dynasty has faced internal and external troubles, and domestic reforms and foreign enemies have tested the ability of the imperial court to govern. Under the wise leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, all the people of the Ming Dynasty overcame difficulties, forged ahead, completed the internal financial reform, and realized the rebellion from Liaodong, which had been plagued by the Ming Dynasty for 28 years. Jiannu was declared to be destroyed here, and the road to Zhongxing of the Ming Dynasty has made great achievements! ”

"In the past year, the imperial court's fiscal revenue has been initially cleaned up, and the amount of financial revenue in the treasury has reached 39.15 million yuan, an increase of 279 percent year-on-year, of which 47 percent has been gained in various wars. In particular, the ruling ability of the imperial court is more stable, and the grassroots construction is more in-depth, which ensures the uploading and distribution of imperial court policies and the implementation of unmisaligned ......"

……

Everyone present seemed to pay special attention, this was undoubtedly a fresh spring breeze, bringing exceptionally fresh air to the Ming court.

The Chief Minister's debriefing and government report being held in the State Hall are both a show off and a public announcement of his exploits, and who does not feel honored and honored?

But again, more people with a keen sense of smell feel the difference that this kind of smell brings. Undoubtedly, this is also a new political change.

As far as the committee members present are concerned, of course, they do not have the vision of His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Cihong from later generations, and they can look at the trajectory of history like God.

For them, it's a ritual.

The work report of the Chief Minister, the Prime Minister of the Empire, was like a solemn and solemn ceremony, announcing that they, the elite of the Empire, could participate more deeply in the political life of the Empire.

Traditionally, they relied on culture, economics, and bonds to maintain their loyalty to the empire.

And now, they are quietly beginning to really take a deep breath with the Empire.

People from all over the world gathered to offer advice for the future of the empire, to use their intellect, to dedicate their youth and blood.

Soon, Li Banghua's work report was completed.

Zhu Cihong was the first to stand up and applaud, and in an instant, thunderous cheers resounded in the Great Hall of State Affairs, and everyone stood up and fell their eyes on His Majesty the Emperor.

For many of those present, it was the first time they had seen the ruler of the empire, the man they had been taught to be loyal to for hundreds of years.

Zhu Cihong wore a grand dress, the crown dress. The upper part is the Xuan clothes, and the lower part is the 纁裳 (xūncháng). The waist is tied with a jade pendant, and even what socks and shoes are used, it is also extraordinary.

People rely on clothes and horses to get on the shore, not to mention Zhu Cihong's aura cultivated by hundreds of thousands of people in the military for several years. Ming Jun doesn't know the monarch and doesn't mention it, but this emperor must be a very powerful figure at the first impression.

Only such a character can toss out this millennium unseen change.

The last one that can be compared with His Majesty the Emperor's actions may be the only one that Emperor Taizu abolished the prime minister's system.

Now, His Majesty the Emperor has not only changed the name of the prime minister again, but also used a set of more clever methods to use this imperial mind.

When Li Banghua's imperial court work report was read, another person, as the second assistant of the cabinet, the new cabinet executive minister Wu Fu stepped onto the podium, only to see him look around left and right, bow one by one, and then said: "Next, the executive minister of the Ming cabinet will report on the national plan, respectfully ask His Majesty the Emperor to approve it, and ask the State Advisory Committee to give opinions." ”

Everyone present sat up straight, and they understood that the introduction of the national plan would be a huge project that would profoundly change the future face of the empire.

And this is the first stage for them to exercise the power in their hands.

Zhu Cihong smiled and watched Fu Shuxun change this number to the draft, and told the cabinet about the plans of countless talented people with gray hair.

First of all, the duration of the state program is five years.

And this five-year period is the term of office of this cabinet. If there are no drastic changes, they will all be carried out under the personal auspices of Li Banghua, and there will be no tragedy of people dying and dying.

Overall, the theme of this year's national plan is recovery and development.

Restoration is the restoration of the empire's 28 years of war-torn territory. Today, in the Ming Dynasty, from Liaodong to Guangxi, from Fujian to Gansu, there is hardly a province that has not experienced war, and there is no place that is not affected by the end of the world.

In this case, the first issue is recovery.

Restore agricultural production throughout the country, restore the severed communications in the provinces, and restore the imperial court's control of the areas that had lost control due to the war.

All kinds of restorations are varied, and Zhu Cihong is also very encouraged to set this goal to the level of Wanli ten years.

At this point, the imperial court was originally quite embarrassed. After all, with the tradition of most people in this era, in their opinion, the Wanli period was already a Zhongxing rule in the Ming Dynasty, and the degree of power can not be expressed in words.

This task seems a little too advanced.

But soon, when they found out that the Ming tax had exceeded the Wanli tax after a whip law, they quickly accepted it in disbelief.
