Number of romantic figures

Chapter 2710 The gap between the decyl scrolls, the cold war

Gu Bingqian and Qiao Yingjia's faces were a little ugly.

The more abstainers, the less control they have over the situation.

In particular, these people neither support the group they belong to, nor are they attracted by other groups. This happens purely because they are dissatisfied with the leader of their own group, or lack a sense of identity with their current group.

As one ticket after another was sung, the first character "正" under Gu Guanqiao and the three of them was quickly filled, and then the second character "正" began, but it was accompanied by the abstention The word "Zheng" also kept pace with each other, and it also filled a word, and what shocked Gu Guanqiao and the three of them was that the other four votes in the word "Zheng" abstained from voting came from other people except Fu Shi.

Forget about Fu Shi, Cao Yubian is from Shanxi, Wu Daonan is from Jiangxi, and the other is from Huang Gongfu, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment and Huang Shijun, the left servant of the Ministry of Commerce. One is from Xinhui, Guangdong, and the other is from Shunde, Guangdong. The only Lingnan scholar, all abstained from voting.

This means that if Lian Guoshi, Pan Ruzhen and Geng Ruqi of the Feng family also abstained, the abstentions would reach an astonishing eight votes, not including Feng Ziying's vote.

There are only forty votes in total, and there may be nine votes abstaining. This is a huge blow to Gu Guanqiao and the three of them.

If Feng's five votes were not obtained, now two Lingnan scholars lost two votes. Logically speaking, these two votes should not have much tendency. No matter which one of Gu Guanqiao gets it, it is normal.

The three of them have already sent people to contact them several times, but they have not received a response.

For example, Gu Bingqian sent Zhu Guozhen to contact Huang Shijun. One was a minister and the other was a servant.

Similarly, Qiao Yingjia also arranged for Sun Juxiang to communicate with Huang Gongfu. It stands to reason that Sun Juxiang had a good relationship with Huang Gongfu as the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, but Huang Gongfu did not give Sun Juxiang any face and resolutely abstained.

For Guan Yingzhen, the Lingnan scholars and the Southwest scholars are natural allies of the Huguang scholars, and they all belong to a small group other than the Jiangnan and the North groups. Lingnan scholars are much more powerful.

"Wei Fan, Minister of the Taipusi, abstained from voting."

With Fang Zhenru's clear voice, a new stroke was added under the column of abstention.

Gu Guanqiao and the three of them all looked gloomy.

Among the 40 important ministers, there are only three scholars from North Africa, Jiangnan, and Huguang, two from Lingnan, and one from Southwest. Huang Gongfu and Huang Shijun are from Canton, and Wei Fan is from Fushun, Sichuan. Now the three abstentions are undoubtedly Expressed dissatisfaction with the three.

Here at Wei Fan, they all tried to communicate and win over, but obviously they failed to achieve their goals.

Fortunately, I didn't succeed, and the other two didn't succeed, so it's just a consolation.

Guan Yingzhen's expression was particularly embarrassing. He tried his best to contact these three people, but he didn't get any results.

Now that the voting has entered the late stage, both Gu Bingqian and Qiao Yingjia have received nearly two "positive" votes, Gu Bingqian got eight votes, Qiao Yingjia even got nine votes, but he only had one "positive" five votes.

This means that the most important part of his initial hope to win over non-Jiangnan and North cadastral scholars and important ministers who did not recognize Gu Bingqian and Qiao Yingjia in the Jiangnan and North cadastres failed.

None of the three Lingnan and Southwest officials voted for him. Without these three votes, even if he could win some marginal officials from the South of the North, he would basically have no chance of winning.

Perhaps the only thing that can reassure Guan Yingzhen is that the result of the vote count has come out to 28 votes, and this has not counted the five cabinet ministers and people on Feng Ziying's side. There is almost no suspense anymore.

The number of abstentions alone reached ten votes, which meant that the other three had to win 21 votes out of [-] votes. How difficult is this? !

Gu Bingqian and Qiao Yingjia also thought of this, and their faces were equally gloomy and terrifying.

Soon the voting was over, Qiao Yingjia got the most votes with [-] votes, Gu Bingqian came in second with [-] votes, Guan Yingzhen came last with [-] votes and [-] abstentions.

How bleak?

This also confirms what Feng Ziying said, even if his five votes are given to any of them, it is also meaningless. The highest Qiao Yingjia is only [-] votes, four votes short, and Gu Bingqian won these five votes. Sixteen votes, a difference of four votes (Gu Bingqian, as the current chief assistant, needs [-] votes), so there is no need to mention Guan Yingzhen.

Everyone in the hall looked at everything in front of them.

The ten abstentions were shocking, and made everyone aware of the current state of the imperial court.

Neither Qiao Yingjia nor Gu Bingqian could get the support of the majority, not even [-]%, of the important ministers representing scholars. Such a huge contrast made the three of them feel embarrassed and frustrated.

This is also the most authentic "public opinion" feedback, so Gu Guanqiao and the three of them couldn't help but be alarmed.

Reflect on yourself, if you get less than [-]% of the support, even if you become the chief assistant, what should you do?

I'm afraid it's going to be difficult and unsustainable in this court. How can we talk about promoting the implementation of affairs in the provinces below?

Feng Ziying stood quietly in front of the hall, waiting for the final counting and notification of the results of the censors and censors.

There was no accident, just such a result, seventeen, sixteen, seven, ten, absurd but real scene.

After receiving the results, Feng Ziying greeted the three of them and announced the final results: "Qiao Yingjia got [-] votes, Gu Bingqian got [-] votes, Guan Yingzhen got [-] votes, and [-] abstained votes. , then the next round is about to enter the second round of voting, and the three candidates will be voted separately. According to the regulations, the person with the least number of votes will be voted first. Before that, we will take a break for a cup of tea for you to change clothes. "

Before that, a special rule introduction was made. In the first round of voting, only one of them can be voted, and the majority will win. If no one wins the majority, it is equivalent to a vote of confidence in the candidate, and this time the votes are the least. On the contrary, the latter has a certain advantage, that is, he will get the votes first, and if he gets more than half of the votes, then the latter two will lose their chance, but this is also a test for the latter two to see if their supporters are determined.

Both Qiao Yingjia and Gu Bingqian were a little nervous, but they were eager to get a result as soon as possible. When Guan Yingzhen still couldn't get more than half of the votes, it meant that Huguang scholars could no longer get the position of chief assistant, so they needed to consider Who did you vote for in the vote for Gu Bingqian and Qiao Yingjia? In other words, who would the Huguang scholars form an alliance with?

As Feng Ziying announced the changing time, everyone in the hall began to chat in twos and threes. There were those who went to the toilet in a hurry, some who walked to the entrance of the main hall to look into the distance, some who frowned deeply and began to whisper, and some hurried among the crowd. Walk through to find the target of persuasion.

Feng Ziying stood at the far end of the hall and had a panoramic view.

Geng Ruqi and Wei Fan were talking quietly together.

Geng Ruqi is from Dongchang Prefecture, Shandong Province, and Wei Fan is from Fushun Prefecture, Xuzhou Prefecture, Sichuan Province. The two are not from the same family, so it is reasonable to say that they are not compatible.

However, Geng Ruqi had served as the co-prefect of Chongqing Prefecture for many years during the Bozhou Rebellion, and the Bozhou Rebellion spread to the entire southern Sichuan region, which also caused great harm to the people in southern Sichuan. Popularity, and Wei Fan also had a good impression of Geng Ruqi, so the two got close because of this reason.

"How embarrassing is this situation? I've lost all face. If it were me, I wouldn't mind being the chief assistant!" Wei Fan said angrily.

"Songmian (Wei Fanzi), if we don't use this method, how can we peel off the bright side of the usual surface, let everyone take a good look, and feel the inner dissatisfaction from everyone, and it will also help us seriously think about how to put Do things well." Geng Ruqi smiled lightly.

"In the future? Is there a future? I think it looks like this. With this method, the chief assistant cannot be elected, even half of the votes. You have to discuss everything, right? If you can’t reach a consensus, don’t you just keep procrastinating? Then what should I do next?”

Wei Fan was very dissatisfied with this, "Mr. Dongxian should think carefully about where the scholars of Huguang should go. The situation is so clear. He only got seven votes in the first round. He doesn't have the confidence to be the chief assistant at all!"

Being so straightforward with Wei Fan, Geng Ruqi couldn't help but look sideways. He felt that he was straightforward enough, but he didn't expect Wei Fan to be more forthright, "But the situation may be very different for whoever he votes for."

"So what? Ru Jun won the support of these seven votes, but he was only nineteen, and Liu Jigong was only eighteen, so there is no chance!" Wei Fan retorted.

"But if you add Song Mian, Zhenxi (Huang Gongfu) and Liang Tan (Huang Shijun) together, it will be different." Geng Ruqi said meaningfully.

Wei Fan immediately reacted, narrowing his eyes slightly, "Chucai, you are so boring, I won't vote, as far as I know, Zhenxi and Liang Tan won't vote either, although they found us, but said To be honest, their thinking is different from ours, and they can't meet our requirements,...but you guys, Xiao Fengge's attitude is intriguing,..."

Geng Ruqi felt relieved, and nodded slightly: "Songmian, Mr. Feng Ge respects your ambitions very much and has no other intentions, but you also know that Mr. Feng Ge is very grateful to Duke Dongxian and Duke Ru Jun Many, in addition, Liu Jigong also took care of Mr. Xiao Fengge, so sometimes we are not easy to choose. The previous abstention is also a gesture, but for the follow-up, I think even if we make a choice, we will not be able to choose. There would be too much change, and it's unlikely to affect you, would it?"

Wei Fan's eyes lit up, as if he had realized something, he glanced at Huang Gongfu and Huang Shijun who were a few steps away, and nodded slightly, "That's right, I understand..." (End of this chapter)
