Chapter 568: Challenging the Rules

After asking several times, no one else came forward to ask for a higher position.

Jia Zhengjin looked around at the pitiful number of civil and military ministers in the palace, and said in his heart that this is the distress of talent shortage!

"So, there are only three challengers now?" Jia Zhengjin stood up, "Perrin will challenge Wolff for the position of Admiral, and Eden and Amber will challenge for the position of Gunter's naval commander." Do you have any objections? If so, I'll bring them up now. ”

"Lord Keane!" Seeing that everyone was silent, the Minister of Personnel and Personnel, Old Haring, stepped forward, "I oppose Amber's challenge to the position of Commander of the Navy!"

"Father?!" Amber was happy to see that no one was against him. Unexpectedly, his biological father suddenly stood up, which caught him off guard.

"Oh?" Jia Zhengjin was also quite surprised, he didn't expect that Old Harlem would oppose his son, "Why is Minister Harlem opposed?"

"Yes, father, why do you object?" said Amber hurriedly.

Old Haring didn't look at his son, and respectfully saluted Jia Zhengjin and said: "Amber is not capable enough, and in my opinion, he is not suitable to serve as the deputy commander of the navy." Lord Keane is very loving, and it is also for the sake of Mrs. Tina's face to take care of Amber's stupid brother. Being a man is important to know yourself, if you can't even figure out how many pounds and taels you have, you will only laugh and be generous!"

"Father, how can you look down on me like this?" Amber was so belittled by his biological father, of course he felt uncomfortable, "I don't know how diligent I am in practicing every day, and my progress is also very fast! You only farm and never care about my combat skills, how can you belittle me indiscriminately without knowing the truth?"

"Zhizi Mo Ruo's father, I know very well how many pounds and taels you have!" said Old Harlem with a blank face.

"You ......"

Seeing that the father was arguing in the palace, Jia Zhengjin said in his heart that Old Harlem was worthy of recognition, at least in terms of business, he would not favor his son in fact. In other words, those who dote on their children, even if they know that they are incapable, at least they will not jump out and oppose them so firmly.

"Alright!" he interrupted the conversation between father and son, lest they continue to quarrel and hurt their feelings. Looking around, he continued, "Is there anyone else against it?"

There was silence in the palace.

Jia Zhengjin waited for a few seconds to make sure that no one came out to oppose it again, and immediately announced: "Although Minister Harlem opposes Amber's challenge to the post of naval commander, the majority of the audience is in favor, so the opposition is invalid!"

Old Harlem was neither happy nor sad when he heard this, and nodded expressionlessly.

Amber was overjoyed and excitedly turned his head to make a triumphant gesture to his wife, Maggie. Maggie smiled in response, not too excited.

Jia Zhengjin continued: "Since someone has put forward a challenge, then I will immediately start arranging the content of the competition! The military competition will be divided into three aspects: personal bravery, battlefield knowledge, and ability to lead troops. Challengers must win all of them to be able to take their place! If the challenger loses in this round, he will be automatically disqualified!"

"Lord Keane, this is a little unfair to the challenger!" Hearing this rule, Prime Minister Gaiss stood up and said, "For the challenger, losing a game is a total loss, and winning a game for the challenged is a total victory......"

"The merit-based system selects the overall strength!" Jia Zhengjin said indifferently, "The challenger must have the ability to surpass the incumbent in all aspects, otherwise the excellence on one side is not enough to replace it! For example, no matter how strong your strength is, no matter how strong your command ability is, you cannot make the army obey if you have no management ability, and no one will carry out the military order after it is issued, or if the execution is not effective, it will be fatal to the war! Therefore, you must surpass the overall strength in order to be qualified to replace it! In addition, any position is only allowed to be challenged once per year, and any challenger needs to apply every other year. ”

"Why is that, Lord Keane?" asked Gas, puzzled.

"Selecting outstanding talents is to do things!" Jia Zhengjin glanced at everyone and said seriously, "If there is no limit, then there will be many people who will challenge, and those who are in office will have the energy to cope with challenges all day long, so how can they put their energy on their work? Therefore, they are only allowed once a year, and regardless of whether they succeed in keeping their positions or not, those in office can have a whole year to govern and prove their abilities!"

"Lord Keane is thoughtful, and the old minister admires!" said Gais.

"Are there any other questions?" Jia Zhengjin asked the civil and military ministers below.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and it seems that there is no objection to Jia Zhengjin's regulations.

But then Eden stepped forward: "Lord Keane, I have a question!"

"You say!"

"You said that the incumbent will only be challenged once a year!" Eden looked up at him earnestly, "Then now Amber and I will challenge Commander Gaunt at the same time. And how do we deal with this?"

Hearing this, Amber also immediately looked at Jia Zhengjin, which was also what he wanted to know.

"This is very simple," Jia Zhengjin said with a smile, "Commander Gunter can only accept the challenge of one person, so before that, there needs to be a competition between the challengers, and the winner is qualified to fight Commander Gunter one-on-one! The winner qualifies for the challenge, and the loser returns to his post and loses the right to challenge this year!"

"But Lord Keane, why is it unfair that you need to win all three games to challenge Commander Gunter, and that the challengers will win or lose in one game?" Eden asked.

"Since you need to win all three games with Commander Gunter, and you challengers have already lost the contest of force, how can you continue the next two games? If there is no doubt, then I will immediately arrange a challenge and competition, and decide the winner within today, so that everyone can take office as soon as possible and contribute their own strength to the Holy Dragon City! Is there a problem?"

"No problem!!" the civil and military ministers responded in unison.

"Okay!" After reaching a consensus, Jia Zhengjin turned his head to look at Gais, "Prime Minister, you are responsible for issuing an official document to notify the whole city and announcing the list of the first officials of the Holy Dragon City! There is also a system of meritocracy, which must also be clearly explained to the outside world! And inform the whole city that except for the indispensable teams such as fortresses and patrols, anyone can come to watch the challenge of the general and naval commander! There is an additional rule that if the challenger wins in the personal bravery and the second competition, he will only lose one. The challenged incumbent officials have weakly agreed that a referendum can be held! Challengers who can obtain more than three-quarters of the votes can also be successfully promoted to replace their incumbents!"

"The old minister has orders!" Geith took the pen and paper from the soldier and immediately began to draft the official document.

"Minister Bakla!" Jia Zhengjin looked down at the civil official array below.

"What do you command, Lord Keane?" Bacla stepped forward immediately.

"As the Minister of the Interior, the matter of the competition venue will be left to you!" Jia Zhengjin said, "There are a lot of open areas in the Holy Dragon City, you can find the most suitable competition venue, no problem, right?"

"Will do my best!" Bacla replied respectfully.
