Chapter 103 One vote difference, big reversal!

Smart people are often not bound by fixed thinking.

Zhong Yao, who was rejected by Liu Bei, chose to travel south with Dong Chong, the deputy disaster relief envoy.

At the same time that Liu Bei and Zhong Yao set out, a well-known doctor who was practicing medicine in Jiujiang heard that the Lujiang River suffered a flood and decisively led his disciples to the disaster area.

Practice medical ethics and save lives and heal the wounded.

As of the evening of June 11, a total of 206 officials of Liangqianshi had arrived in the capital.

In the Dongdu court, the tense atmosphere has eased due to the departure of Zhijinwu, the god of plague.

After confirmation, there are as many as 107 people supporting the Empress Dowager and Emperor Yonghan.

Yuan Ji knew that this data was reliable. If these people dared to change their minds on the spot, they would basically no longer have to hang out in the officialdom.

Tonight, Yuan Ji secretly met with He Jin again.

"General, are you sure you will support the Empress Dowager regardless of the brother-sister relationship?"

He Jin chuckled and asked, "Can Taifu ensure that the Xiyuan Army returns to my hands?"

Yuan Ji doesn't think that the reckless He Jin poses much of a threat, not to mention that he is a very useful knife, which is perfect for dealing with the eunuch group.

"Not only Xiyuan, but also the Northern Army is under the control of the general. After all, eunuchs holding military power are not conducive to the harmony of the court."

He Jin touched the shiny big face plate, thought about it, and felt that Yuan Ji was telling the truth.

"That's it, let's high-five each other! When the thing is done, we'll kill the eunuchs together!"

"Pa!"

Clap your palms together to achieve cooperation.

Yuan Ji got the 108th vote, leaving only 98 votes at most for Queen Mother He.

Ha, the court is not something that women, children, teachers, and that stinky shoe buyer can all play with.

The only regret is that in the court tomorrow, I won’t be able to see the disappointed expression of the shoe-selling guy, which is really a pity!

Returning to Yuan Mansion, the young Taifu decided to go to bed early and get up early.

Tomorrow will be the glorious moment for me to represent the Yuan family and reach the pinnacle of power again. I must maintain my best condition.

In Taishi Mansion, Liu Neng is reporting the number of heads.

"Grand Master, it is confirmed that there are ninety-five votes, and there may be a few more."

At this point, both sides have basically made their cards clear.

And according to the rules agreed in advance, the one with the most votes wins and becomes the emperor.

Judging from Liu Neng's feedback, Yuan Ji got at least a hundred votes.

However, Lu Zhi didn't panic at all. He just nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"Master, don't take it for granted!"

After Liu Neng left, Lu Zhi was still thinking deeply.

The thoughts and actions of evildoers are often surprising, and this time they are half-hidden and even more unpredictable.

Even if Wang Yun said that Liu Bei had no heart for Yihuo and only wanted to be a behind-the-scenes general, Lu Zhi could not be reassured.

Of course, this will not affect the plan to support Queen Mother He tomorrow.

Yuan Ji is lower in stature than Yuan Wei, has more tricks, and is more enterprising.

He occupies a key position in the court at such a young age. He is a dangerous opponent and must not be careless at any time.

However, thinking of the more evil disciples, the Grand Master couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

In the future, Dongdu will be the stage for the younger generation.

The candles burned out, and the night came like a tide...

Open your eyes, it’s a brand new day.

Demonstrated the twenty-four postures of Tai Chi, showered and changed clothes, and had breakfast.

The grand master went out and entered the palace to attend court.

The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the two emperors, Jiuchang Shi, and nearly a thousand Dongdu officials all gathered at Changle Palace.

Today, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, an unprecedented ceremony for selecting the emperor by hundreds of officials is about to begin.

The instigator, Jin Wu Liu Bei, has arrived at Runan County, the territory of the Yuan family of the Fourth Third Duke.

Even if they were packed as lightly as possible, the three consecutive days of super forced marches still left everyone with backaches and unspeakable suffering.

With Liu Baniu's support, Liu Bei climbed onto his horse with difficulty and pointed his whip at the Lujiang River.

"Brothers, follow me. Today's goal is to cross the Huaihe River!"

As soon as the words fell, thousands of horses galloped.

In the main hall of Changle Palace, Jingwei is clearly visible.

The officials of the Taifu department were very proud, while the officials of the Taishi department seemed to have shortness of breath and sighed frequently.

The counting of votes came to an end. Emperor Guangxi got 95 votes and Emperor Yonghan got 105 votes.

Although there are still six votes to be cast, almost everyone understands that in this power struggle, Yuan Ji has the upper hand over Lu Zhi.

"Emperor Guangxi, Emperor Guangxi, Emperor Yonghan, Emperor Guangxi, Emperor Yonghan..."

Ninety-eight VS one hundred and seven.

The outcome was about to be decided. Yuan Ji, who had been restrained, couldn't help but look at the Queen Mother, Liu Bian and Lu Zhi.

The Queen Mother seemed uneasy.

Liu Bian frowned.

The old master Lu Zhi closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to witness the tragic moment of his failure.

Yep, nothing more than that!

Yuan Ji puffed out his chest, looking taller and more eye-catching.

A palace guard hurried over.

"The Queen Mother, Queen Mother, Your Majesty! The governors of Yibei and Yinan counties are outside the palace gate, requesting to go to the palace to vote."

Boom!

Above the main hall, everyone was discussing.

I have never heard of the name of a county before, what the hell is the county governor of Yibei and Yinan?

The sudden change aroused the vigilance of the Taifu people.

A shadow flashed between Yuan Ji's brows.

He stepped forward and asked: "Queen Mother, where and who is this governor of Yibei and Yinan? Why have I never heard of him before?"

Empress Dowager He's face became full of joy, and she pretended to be surprised and said: "The Eastern Yi invaded the Han Dynasty, but the Grand Master didn't know about it? Grand Master, didn't you know that you had met Yuan Qing?"

Only then did Lu Zhi open his eyes and bow to the Queen Mother.

"The Empress Dowager Mingjian! Yesterday, I sent the memorial approving the establishment of the two counties of Dongyi to the Taifu Mansion, and received the signature and confirmed that it was correct."

In fact, the Yongzhou Navy captured the entire Dongyi Island last year and established two deep-water ports, one in the south and one in the north, as bases, and has been making a fortune quietly.

This time, when it came to selecting the emperor, Liu Bei secretly planned with his mentor and temporarily appointed two county guards.

Submitted secretly to the Empress Dowager He for approval. Lu Zhi received the official document stamped for confirmation and delayed the official document until the last moment.

Yuan Ji was furious.

The old fox said it with certainty, and it was unlikely that he would lie openly. He immediately looked at the Grand Tutor Chief Xun You.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Xun You thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that before going on duty yesterday, the Taishi Mansion sent a large number of official documents.

The official who signed the receipt had casually reported that the nearly one hundred official documents were mostly boring memorials praising virtues and virtues, so he did not take it seriously.

It seems that the official documents of establishing counties between the northern and southern barbarians are mixed in.

After hearing Xun You's explanation, Yuan Ji glanced at Lu Zhi bitterly.

The old man actually used such unfashionable methods. He really wasted his time reading the books of sages!

Forget it, today’s matter is very important, so I won’t argue with you for now.

"Queen Mother, the governors of the two counties of Dongyi are late, and according to the law, they are not allowed to go to the palace to vote!"

Lu Zhi immediately seized the loophole and launched an attack.

"Please tell me, Grand Master, which country and house's laws do you follow the 'laws'? If I remember correctly, there is no precedent for selecting an emperor. Apart from the selection rules, there is no relevant law to prevent the two county governors from voting.
