I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 143 The Great Court Meeting! Huang Bao enters the cabinet! Zhu Youqi: Japanese pirates are rampant, let the Japanese country give an explanation!
"We have another court meeting..."

"It seems like ten days ago, didn't His Majesty just open it?"

"Why do you have to open it again today?"

"Didn't the Northern Cabinet say that His Majesty doesn't like holding court meetings?"

"How long have you been in Jinling? It's only been about a month. I've already had three court meetings."

In the Imperial City, at the Meridian Gate at three o'clock in the morning, officials once again gathered yawning incessantly, waiting to go to court.

Compared with the anticipation and excitement of the official imperial meeting in Jinling ten days ago, the arrival of this second imperial meeting made them feel tired and resistant.

They also discovered that Zhu Houzhao was different from the rumors in the north that he frequently canceled court meetings...

When they arrived at Jinling, they seemed to be extremely diligent. They were not used to the frequent court appearances.

"Oh, can the North's court meeting be the same as ours?"

"Think about the recent cabinet affairs. His Majesty has never held a court meeting without announcing business matters."

"besides……"

"The cancellation of the Jinling Bank that caused a lot of commotion just now..."

"And, the issue of vice presidential selection..."

Naturally, there were also sober people, and they once again felt the unusual flavor of this court meeting.

In particular, the next scene... undoubtedly proved their guess.

"Lin Shangshu, the president invites you..."

"Mr. Zheng, there is no need to wait here. President Xingwang has invited us to go to the Wen Building first..."

"Liu Shangshu, this way..."

Huang Bao was guarding the Meridian Gate. After the top leaders of each department arrived, he personally invited people to let them, the second-grade bosses, enter the inner city first.

His special gesture naturally made some people see the difference and smell something unusual.

……

Wenlou.

When the top leaders of various departments such as Lin Han, Zheng Ji, Zhu Fu, Liu Zhong, and Gao Quan arrived, Zhu Youqi was already waiting in the chief seat.

At this time, Lin Han, Zhu Fu and others suddenly discovered that as Huang Bao arrived with Chen Qing, the Minister of War, the situation was already clear. Here were the 24 candidates for the vice president.

People with a little bit of consciousness have already guessed what they were asked to do.

"Okay, everyone, we are all here."

"I won't beat around the bush anymore. Before this court meeting, His Majesty asked us to take the lead in recommending a candidate for vice president, and we will announce it later at the court meeting."

Sure enough, when everyone arrived, Zhu Youqi didn't say anything to make the meeting special. When he opened his mouth, he pointed directly to the topic of the meeting.

A big meeting is held for small matters, and a small meeting is held for big matters.

This is obviously an old tradition.

As soon as Zhu Youqian finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Huang Bao, and they seemed to understand something in an instant!
In the face of everyone's gaze, Huang Bao was calm and composed, seemingly calm on the surface.

But the hands in his sleeves were still trembling.

For an instant, their eyes showed confusion, astonishment, and shock, and then they returned to calm.

Still got to this point.

"President, do you know what the rules are for this election?"

Lin Han spoke. He was not surprised that Huang Bao was able to play. On the contrary, he was mentally prepared.

"What His Majesty means is that the candidates are still voting, and I and Your Majesty will not participate or interfere in your voting. Of course, His Majesty has also revealed that the candidates to be recommended must perform well in the near future, with obvious abilities and performance, and convince the public. ’s... Only in this way can everyone in Jinling be satisfied..."

"The voting will be anonymous, and I will only supervise."

After saying that, Wei Bin began to distribute an envelope and a piece of paper to everyone.

The process was fair.

But none of us are old foxes, so this is called non-interference.

Looking at the envelope and paper, he looked at Huang Bao again.

"Everyone, you can begin."

After Zhu Youqian finished speaking, he directly picked up the tea and waited quietly for the voting results.

He is patient enough and knows that he may not be able to select someone in the first or second round, but that doesn't matter. He just needs to make sure that the list is out before the meeting.

"Is this right now?" Zhu Fu was a little reluctant.

One person is suddenly missing from the four places, and the competition for the remaining people will become even more intense.

"Everyone can think about it slowly, or even go to the next room to think about it... All adults have the right to vote in three rounds."

Zhu Youqi said something very meaningful, but glanced at Huang Bao.

Huang Bao's work before was nothing, but this matter now is Huang Bao's biggest challenge.

The time has come to fight for character and heritage.

Three chances have been given to Huang Bao.

"Three rounds!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in confusion and understood the meaning. If they couldn't be selected in three rounds, don't blame the emperor for not giving them dignity.

"Huh... I have a need to urinate. President, I want to make it easier."

Zheng Ji took a deep breath and pinched his sleeves unwillingly. The blow came a bit fast and he needed to slow down.

"Mr. Zheng, let me take you there..."

Huang Bao's eyes immediately lit up and he stepped forward diligently again.

"No, Lin Shangshu, do you want to come with us?" Zheng Ji refused directly. Instead, he glanced at Lin Han and extended an invitation.

"That's fine." Lin Han agreed.

The two of them walked out of the room under people's gaze, and Zhu Youqi did not stop them.

"Chen Shangshu..."

As soon as the two of them moved, others also took action.

"Dong Cheng Guo? Liu Shangshu, how about we go outside to chat?"

Huang Bao couldn't care less about the calmness on his face now and ordered someone directly.

"can."

Zhu Fu and Liu Jin hesitated for a moment, then decisively followed Huang Bao out.

And then, other people naturally followed suit, either going out together, or sitting quietly alone, drinking tea slowly, thinking slowly, and waiting slowly.

Zhu Youyi, Wei Bin, and the Jin Yiwei next to them had a panoramic view of all this and recorded it firmly.

Because from these actions we can also see who belongs to whom, or who does not belong to whom.

"First round of voting."

"Lin Han 4 votes!"

"Gao Quan 5 votes!"

"Huang Bao 5 votes!"

"Zheng Ji 3 votes!"

"Liu Jin 2 votes..."

"Chen Qing 2 votes!"

"History rises to 2 votes!"

"Zhu Fu 1 vote!"

Zhu Youyi didn't have to wait long. The results of the first round of voting came out and they were very even.

"If the number of votes does not reach more than half, it will be invalid this time. Everyone, you need to vote again."

Zhu Youqiao calmly announced that the results of the first round of voting were invalid.

However, this first round is obviously necessary, because Huang Bao's basic game can be seen here.

Faced with this result, Huang Bao was naturally not satisfied, but he could find his next main target.

So, he launched a key attack.

……

"Has the Great Court Meeting started yet?" At the same time, at the edge of Leng Palace, Xu Yunmiao found a high place and looked in the direction of Fengtian Palace.

At this time, she also discovered that today's court meeting was unusual.

In the past, the court meeting that officially started has been delayed and has not started normally.

Knowing that Zhu Houzhao was going to hold a court meeting today, she followed her family and Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu in the middle of the night to inquire about the situation.

After the palace opened in the morning, she entered the cold palace through another door.

There was no way, the future development of her family's bank was seriously beyond her imagination.

Because the establishment of the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty restored the exchange order in Jinling.

Two days later, Jinling has returned to normal and no longer panics.

Things were originally a good thing, but she vaguely noticed that Ming First Bank was showing signs of replacing their bank.

After this incident, some big customers actually tended to deposit their money in Daming Bank instead of choosing their own bank.

This made her a little unable to sit still, and she had already joined forces with Zhu Fu to test how the court would deal with their bank after this incident.

They originally wanted to meet Zhu Houzhao in private, but who would have thought that Zhu Houzhao would go to the imperial mausoleum and stay there for two days.

They couldn't see each other and had to wait for the meeting.

However, something unusual happened at this great meeting.

"Why haven't you started yet..."

"What are Shangshu Lin and the others discussing?"

Not only did Xu Yunmiao discover the anomaly, but all the civil and military officials who arrived at Fengtian Palace according to the time also discovered the anomaly.

It was a little past the time for the official meeting, and the top leaders of each department still didn't show up, so they had to let their imaginations wander.

But fortunately, Fengtian Temple had rules. They couldn't make any noise and could only wait patiently. While waiting, a strange emotion filled the air.

Blah blah blah!

But after all, they didn't have to wait long. There was movement outside Fengtian Hall.

People immediately noticed that the big bosses from various ministries walked in with different expressions, especially... Gao Quan, who had a livid complexion. His whole face was smelly, as if someone owed him millions of silver. He exuded a strange smell. Into the taste.

This is Gao Quan.

Then looking at the past, Zhu Fu, Zheng Ji and others showed a hint of exhaustion on their faces.

What is this?

Many people want to ask.

"Your Majesty is here!"

However, as Zhu Youqi finally took his place, Liu Jin's voice resounded, and everyone quickly put their thoughts away.

"May my emperor be blessed and safe!"

"..."

After the ceremony, they finally met Zhu Houzhao, who had disappeared for two days.

"All my dear friends, please be free!"

Zhu Houzhao had a playful smile on his face, especially when he looked at Gao Quan's stinky face, he felt inexplicably want to laugh.

Because he also knew the results of the second round of voting.

Gao Quan 10 votes!
Huang Bao 10 votes!
Zheng Ji 4 votes!
The results of the third round were even more dramatic.

Gao Quan 11 votes!
Huang Bao 13 votes!
Huang Bao successfully won the internal nomination by two votes.

Gao Quan was only two votes short of winning.

Obviously, anyone who gets this result and misses out on the position of vice president will feel bad.

"If there's something going on, get going, if there's nothing going on, leave the court!" Liu Jin started the normal process.

"I have a plan to report!"

The governor of Jinling spoke immediately.

"allow."

"Your Majesty, there was a civil uprising in Jinling a few days ago..."

The governor of Jinling began to openly report the crisis at Jinling Bank two days ago.

Is this what happened this time?
In fact, many officials did not know much about the inside story. Only through the narrations of Jinling Prefecture Yin, Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu, etc. did they understand the seriousness of this crisis.

"Okay! Huang Bao, didn't I leave this matter to you?"

"How's it going?"

After necessary exaggeration, Zhu Houzhao directly named Huang Bao to report the work.

"Your Majesty, under your wise guidance and with the full help of the president and all his colleagues, I have fulfilled my duty and immediately..."

Come, come again, Huang Bao began to focus on showing his achievements. At this time, the civil and military officials knew how the matter was settled.

snort!
Gao Quan snorted in displeasure, "The villain has succeeded!"

"Very good! Huang Bao handled it very well. This merit should be rewarded heavily! My dear friends, how will I reward Huang Bao!"

The play was almost done, and Zhu Houzhao showed off his skills simply and neatly.

"I will never dare to take credit. This is my duty!" Huang Bao naturally had to be humble.

"I said, if you have merit, you will be rewarded! King Xing, what do you think?"

Zhu Houzhao directly ordered people.

"Your Majesty, I believe that... Huang Tongzheng was able to turn the tide, especially during the anniversary of Taizu's death, to perfectly resolve the matter, which proves that Huang Tongzheng is suitable to join the preparatory cabinet and assist me in taking full responsibility for the preparations for Taizu Shuangchen to prevent this incident from happening again!"

Zhu Youqi decisively raised today’s major issue.

"What!?"

"Vice President Huang Bao..."

"hiss!"

As soon as these words came out, the politically astute civil and military officials knew what they were doing.

"I object!"

Gao Quan reluctantly jumped out and was slapped in the face.

"I think what the president said is reasonable..."

"I also feel that what the president said is reasonable, and Huang Tongzheng can join the preparatory cabinet."

Lin Han, Zhu Fu and others also participated in the performance.

"Okay! Since everyone agrees that Huang Bao can be admitted to the Preparatory Cabinet, then I am sure! At the same time, Huang Bao was not afraid of danger in this incident and was able to appease all parties. I decided to canonize Huang Bao as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. If you enter the court without following, you will not be praised and worshiped..."

Zhu Houzhao directly announced a series of rewards, but...his unwillingness to enter the court and praise him without a name made all the civil and military officials look slightly sideways, and Huang Baoben's smiling smile also had a hint of embarrassment.

By engaging in such retro honors, is the emperor warning him or the former cabinet?

Or both?
The next step is to go to the palace with swords and shoes, add nine tins or something?

"Thank you!"

Although the vice president was a little confused, he got over it after all. Huang Bao didn't care about this slight discomfort and quickly thanked him.

At this moment, the civil and military officials looked at Huang Bao with mixed expressions, including surprise, shock, and doubt...

Anyway, basically most people would never have imagined that Huang Bao could be the first to join the cabinet.

Thinking about him working for Zhu Houzhao, his performance... seems to be easy to understand.

Their emperor, if you really do something, he will really give you the benefits!
At this moment, seeing Huang Bao successfully enter the cabinet, Lin Han, Zheng Ji, Gao Quan and others also looked at Zhu Houzhao with slightly hot eyes.

They felt the sincerity and clear conditions for joining the cabinet from Zhu Houzhao.

Now, they are also eager to do something and join the cabinet!

Feeling the hot gazes of Lin Han and others, Zhu Houzhao was certain in his heart that this daughter of a man bought a bone and it was done.

"President, is there anything else that needs to be started?"

After Huang Bao thanked him, Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhu Youqi again.

"Have."

"Your Majesty, we recently received news from the Ministry of War that Japanese pirates have been rampant recently. They chose to intrude on our people in the Ming Dynasty during this special period. They are undoubtedly disrespectful to Taizu! Taizu listed them as a country without conquest. They are not grateful to Taizu for his kindness. , but instead allowed the Japanese pirates to invade our country, I feel it is necessary to let the Japanese envoy explain this matter..."

Zhu Youqi once again raised a major issue.
