Chapter 2719 Gui Zijuan is worried and integrated
There were endless discussions in the hall, all of which were evaluating and analyzing the reasons why these people voted for Feng Ziying.
Each vote can be discussed for a long time, and a person named Chou Yinmao can be discussed.
“Then why did Wu Daonan vote for Mr. Feng Ge again? Didn’t it mean that they had a bad relationship when they worked together in Shuntian Mansion?”
"Where did you hear this from the gossip? Wu Daonan is not good at practical work. How much trouble did Xiao Fengge, the old prime minister, block him out and do for him? He can hang out in pavilions, pavilions and pavilions all day long. Letting yourself go is not the only way to be free and at ease. If it were me, I would be willing to do it."
"There is also the reason that Wu Daonan is a member of Ming Qi Gong (Huang Ruliang), right? Liu Ji Gong doesn't have a good look on him."
“I have to say that Mr. Liu Ji is also soft-hearted. If it had been anyone else, he would have sent Wu Daonan away long ago. How could it be his turn to vote for Xiao Fengge now?”
…
“The sixth vote, Lu Yanzhang, Minister of Guanglu Temple,…”
“The seventh vote, Dong Qichang, Minister of Honglu Temple,…”
“The eighth vote, Yin Jiahua of Shuntian Prefecture,…”
…
"Is this a collective surrender of Jiangnan scholars? Songjiang Gang, Jia Hua is from Huzhou, right?"
"Can Jia Huaneng be related to the Jia family of Rongning? If it weren't for Prince Teng of the Jinling family to run for him, how could he go to Jinling and become the prefect?"
"Who knows? The Jia family in Jinling is a famous martial arts family, but I have never heard of the Jia family in Huzhou. However, Jia Hua's ability to adapt to the wind is very good, haha,..."
…
“The ninth vote, Cui Jingrong, the Minister of Civil Affairs,…”
"This vote is probably the most critical one. Is Mr. Ziqiang endorsing Mr. Xiao Feng Ge on behalf of the northern scholars? Then how should Mr. Ru Jung explain it?"
“There have been talented people from generation to generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years. One has to obey the elders. Mr. Xiao Fengge can also be regarded as a disciple of Ru Jungong. How can there be so many people that he can’t let go of?…”
“Hey, this sentence is very powerful. Where did it come from? I don’t believe you can come up with such a poem..."
“Haha, you are so ignorant that you don’t even know the poems written by Mr. Feng Ge in the internal references?”
Immediately, Xu Guangqi reported the final result to Emperor Xuanshun. Emperor Xuanshun solemnly accepted the rice paper submitted in writing and finally confirmed it was valid. He announced on the spot that Zhou Peisheng, whose eyes were almost squinting with laughter, immediately used his seal. , complete this confirmation process.
With the confirmation of the chief minister, the next step is the reorganization of the new cabinet, but this requires a process.
The new cabinet is different from the past. In the past, the first assistant, second assistants, and group assistants have basically been determined and passed through a process. But this time is different. It is a real fighting game. Now the first assistant Although it is certain, except for Xu Guangqi who may stay in his post as the second assistant and group assistant, there is no conclusion yet on where the three Gu Guanqiao will go.
Feng Ziying is also not sure whether Gu Guanqiao and the other three will stay or leave. It depends on what the three of them think. However, Feng Ziying feels that it may be difficult for these three to stay in the court.
At any rate, he was the leader of a faction of scholars. He was defeated in such a grand event, and he was defeated by a junior. In any case, he needed to give an explanation to the entire faction.
If you can't stay in the cabinet, how can you still hang out in the eight ministries? That's even more impossible.
According to past habits, if you are in good health, it would be the best place to go back to your hometown to write a book or open an academy to give lectures.
The imperial gathering ended, and the large group of people who were still immersed in joy, excitement, hesitation, confusion and even frustration left in small groups.
This is destined to be an uneventful day, and everyone has to think about what to do next.
Feng Ziying was also a little uneasy.
Although they had a tacit understanding with Xu Guangqi before to come up with such an event, and even made a lot of preparations for it, to be honest, neither of them had any plans on how to coordinate and deal with Gu Guanqiao and the three of them after they actually won the election. The factions behind it have given full consideration.
Or before this, Feng Ziying and Xu Guangqi were not absolutely sure of winning this battle.
Zuo Guangdou, Wu Daonan, and Zhang Nai were unexpected gains. As for Cui Jingrong, Wang Yongguang and even Bi Ziyan, Feng Ziying was not very confident in her heart. At most, it was a 50-50 split. Before this, Feng Ziying even There were no formal talks with Cui Jingrong, Wang Yongguang and others.
Do the math on your fingers. If you exclude these six people and include the votes of Gu Bingqian and Guan Yingzhen who were purely pushing the boat forward when the final decision was made, what Feng Ziying is really sure of is only the five votes from his own system. , Xu Guangqi and Li Zhizao can barely be regarded as the second vote of the "Gewu" faction, the third vote of the non-mainstream faction (Southwest and Lingnan), the second vote of Chai Ke and Guo Zhengyu of the Huguang faction, and the northern scholars who are closely related to me. Sun Chengzong had one vote, plus three votes from the Songjiang Gang—Lu Yanzhang, Dong Qichang, and Yuan Keli—who worked through Jiangnan merchants.
In other words, Feng Ziying only has 16 votes that are truly certain, and the other votes cast for him are only half-and-half, most likely between 20 and 21 votes.
Who would have thought that with this vote, votes that were never expected to come in, such as Zuo Guangdou, Wu Daonan, and Zhang Nai, would be cast directly for him, while Cao Yubian, Cui Jingrong, Wang Yongguang, and Bi Ziyan also supported him without hesitation. After killing himself, the number of votes greatly exceeded the previous expectations, completely killing the suspense.
It is not an exaggeration to say that such a result was unexpected. It also brought about a problem, that is, there was no thorough and detailed discussion on the follow-up arrangements before. How to form a new cabinet and the subsequent involvement of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, The arrangement of the main officials of the eight ministries and the five temples, the important components of the imperial court, and the distribution of power among the northern scholars, Huguang scholars, Jiangnan scholars, and southwest and Lingnan scholars.
There are also many complicated issues involved here. Where will the three Gu Guanqiao go? If they retire, who among the three factions of scholars will take their place, and whether the scholar leaders who take their place will join the cabinet and who will join the cabinet. How to allocate the vacant positions?
Of course, it does not mean that a plan will be put forward immediately, but it must be put on the agenda immediately, and it needs to be discussed and a framework established.
These require Feng Ziying, the elected chief minister, to negotiate with several parties.
