Chapter 807 The New Emperor
What Xu Shu couldn't understand was that the suggestion of "voting to determine the overall situation" before his death was a perfect match for Wu Xianmo and his group to seize power.
If it was a coincidence, Xu Shu definitely didn’t believe it.
If it is not a coincidence, why does the ruling party do this?
Could it be that the ruling party had detected the actions of Wu Xianmo and others in advance, and knew that there were so many people responding that they could not be killed, so they were heartbroken.
Or maybe he was frustrated by the continuous rebellion. After being assassinated, he didn't want to see the world in chaos. In this way, Wu Xianmo and others' actions to seize power were softened and the killings were minimized.
Xu Shu feels that the latter possibility should be closest to the true idea of governing.
But Xu Shu didn't think that a mature and experienced politician who had reached the top of power through a coup would make such a choice.
Just when Xu Shu was struggling, the vote-calling came to an end.
Sure enough, Lijun Wang Zhongcheng received the highest number of votes, more than double the lead of the second place.
After the overall situation was decided, the court hall was not as lively as Chen Zhao and others' loyalty to the country after the "national body" was confirmed.
To put it in detail, the fact that Prince Li was established as the new king and ascended the throne as emperor was far more shocking than confirming the state structure.
It is a pity that those three or two passionate and loyal people have long since disappeared from the court, and the remaining ones are all very smart people.
With the current situation, no one will choose to confront them head-on to avoid being crushed into powder.
Although Lijun Wang Zhongcheng’s final votes were much higher than the first place, he actually accounted for just close to one-third of the total votes.
The key is that the opposition forces cannot be united, and the voting is secretive. As a result, the forces supporting Prince Li are like bloodthirsty sharks lurking under the sea, making all forces afraid to act rashly. "Now that the Xujun has been chosen, let's start voting on the political system."
Cao Yizheng said loudly.
Wu Xianmo said, "I think it is better to welcome the new king to the court first."
After that, he lucked into Dantian and shouted loudly, "Welcome to the throne of Prince Li!"< br>
His long Qi pulse was like a large broadcasting amplifier, and his voice boomed throughout the city.
Suddenly, Xuanwu Gate and Zhonghua Gate opened one after another, and more than ten ram chariots drove majestically to the martial arts field. Their wheels crushed a pool of blood and drove straight to the Jinshui Bridge in front of the palace before stopping.
Then the car doors opened and No. 34 people stepped out. The tall Lijun Wang Zhongcheng, dressed in a yellow robe and with a graceful bearing, stepped into the hall surrounded by everyone.
Behind Zhong Cheng, there were many acquaintances of Xu Shu. In addition to Zhong Zhen, who looked very proud, there were also Nong Jinsong and Jin Liang.
Xing Kaiding of the Nantong Hui was also mixed in the crowd. Since the leader of the group, Hu Shentong, disappeared, the Nantong Hui almost disappeared. Unexpectedly, it got mixed up with the Xingzhou Hui.
People from the Tianshui Huang family were also present. The second young master Huang was hiding in the crowd, looking around all the time. Only when he caught a glimpse of Xu Shu, his eyes quickly fled.
The above people, except Zhong Zhen, were all planted with blood soul talismans by Xu Shu. Among them, Xing Kaiding, Jin Liang, and Huang were all recruited in the battle of the secret realm of rotation.
In addition to the above people, Xu Shu also recognized many familiar faces. Although he could not name them, he knew that they came from two secret places, the Tianyi Chen family and the Longqing Xu family.
Just looking at the people from all the major forces who are entrenched behind Zhong Cheng, anyone can guess that this conspiracy must have been planned for a long time.
A small number of people followed Zhong Cheng into the court, while the rest blocked the door.
Many people stared at Wu Xianmo angrily. It was obvious that the convoy could successfully reach the Jinshui Bridge. Without Wu Xianmo's operation, it would not have been possible.
But at this time, the overall situation has been decided, and no matter how much he scolds Wu Xianmo, it is impossible to overturn the fact that Zhong Cheng is the new emperor.
"Thanks to the efforts of all the kings, Zhong returned to his homeland and recreated Xuanhuang. Zhong Cheng is very polite."
Zhong Cheng entered and stood, facing the four directions of the audience. Bow four times in a row.
“Your Majesty is serious.”
“Why should your Majesty be so polite?”
"This is the result of His Majesty's holy virtue, inheriting the legacy of our ancestors, and conforming to the laws of heaven and human nature." "..."
There were many voices of praise in the audience. .
"Everyone, Prince Li has not yet ascended the throne, how can he be addressed as 'Your Majesty'? Furthermore, the most urgent task is not to vote to determine the political system? I hope you will not spoil the process."
Cao Yizheng shouted loudly.
Wu Xianmo said, “To discuss the political system, we need to follow the old path of constitutional deliberation or the new path of monarchy.
I have something to say bluntly, the old road of constitutional deliberation will not work because there will never be a new leader.
The new path of monarchy is actually an old path that is older than constitutional deliberation. Looking at the world trend, this is almost a waste path.
I propose to learn from Da Qin and He Guo. Reorganize the Council into the Imperial Cabinet to elect the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister only has the power to convene the Imperial Council and the power of double votes in voting compared to the Prime Minister. >
In addition, the appointment of Prime Minister, in addition to being recommended by important ministers of third rank or above, also requires His Majesty's approval..."
Wu Xianmo was full of energy in court, as if he wanted to make decisions about the country while speaking to himself.
Obviously, Wu Xianmo's words have strict logic. Regarding the power structure of the new dynasty, many interests have been taken into consideration. They are not the actions of one person, but the result of careful deliberation by an organization
In this. Under the structure, the monarch's power is not small, and he is by no means a virtual monarch, but he cannot say anything and do whatever he wants.
The authority of the new prime minister has also been drastically reduced, but he is truly the first in governance. People.
After Wu Xianmo finished speaking, he said generously, "Since it is a public recommendation, you can also discuss it. As long as someone proposes a new political system, it can be used as one of the criteria for selection."
The political system dictated by Wu Xianmo has passed through the minds of many people Storm is the most timely thing at the moment.
While everyone else is in a hurry, how can they come up with a new plan.
At this moment, Zhong Cheng spoke again, "I propose that all council members automatically enter the new cabinet and serve as cabinet elders.
How many cabinet elders will be specifically set for the new council? , can be decided after the voting on the new political system is completed
In addition, before and after the change of governance, all lords were automatically extended to the current dynasty.
If you decide to become an official in the government, you should at least be granted the title of marquis to reward your efforts in protecting the country. "
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent.
Suddenly a voice was heard outside the palace, "The envoy from the State of Qin has arrived, and the envoy from the State of He has arrived. "
The group of people went straight into the palace. The leader was Gao Ye, the ambassador of the Qin State to the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the envoy of the He State was a strange combination of a monk and a scholar.
"Sun God, Mingzhao God!"
Uncle Mo Dao shouted in a low voice, "Brother Wu, have you even united with them?"
Wu Xianmo said with emotion, "Wu No matter how confused you are, you will never know anything about foreign countries.”
“It’s getting more and more interesting.”
Xu Shu thought to himself, when Zhong Cheng finished speaking. , everything is a foregone conclusion.
Everyone is quarreling in the field. How many people are loyal to the country?
The few people who are truly loyal to the country have already exiled themselves and left the palace.
And Zhong Cheng’s promise almost guarantees the interests of everyone, especially Yigan’s discussion of politics.
Zhong Cheng not only gave them authority while in office, but also considered them after retirement.
Even if they follow the administration and eventually retire, they will never be rewarded with a title.
