I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 97 Jinling is in dire straits! The fourth chat is coming soon
The capital is full of vitality.

Jinling is also in dire straits.

Especially the household department.

"Lord Zheng Ji, thirteen votes!"

"Six votes for Zuo Shilang!"

"Seven votes for the right minister!"

In the meeting hall of the Ministry of Household Affairs, an official from the Ministry of Personnel Affairs once again reluctantly announced the voting results of the Ministry of Household Affairs: "Not more than half voted for Mr. Zheng, so this vote... is invalid."

boom!
As soon as the voting results came out, Zheng Ji slapped the table hard and roared.

"What else do you want to do?"

"How did I offend you? The benefits I gave you are not enough!"

However, Zheng Ji's roar had no effect. The Zuo Shilang and the Right Shilang looked at Lin Han and Shi Sheng instead.

"Lin Shangshu, Shi Yushi, Lord Zheng, are you forcing us to choose him? Are you disobeying His Majesty's will?"

"Yes! My lords, you guys have also seen it. Mr. Zheng is blatantly making one-sided remarks and completely throwing aside everyone's right to vote. If this is the case, what else do you choose? Just report Mr. Zheng's name!"

The left and right ministers are not afraid of threats. There is a third party supervising here, so they have to inquire about the situation.

Lin Han and Shi Sheng immediately felt heavy-headed and glanced at Zheng Ji with slightly dissatisfied eyes. Didn't they say that it was done?

"Of course we don't dare to go against His Majesty's wishes. However, today is the last day of the deadline given by Your Majesty, and your list is the only one left... I have asked Your Majesty for instructions. If you, the Ministry of Household Affairs, cannot make a selection again, then It can only be invalidated.”

In broad daylight, Lin Han naturally couldn't violate the rules on the surface, so he had to put pressure again.

"This is the last chance for you to conduct the final round of voting..."

Lin Han immediately added: "You will vote again in half an hour!"

"Mr. Zheng, come with me."

"Brother Shi, please communicate with the two ministers."

Lin Han immediately made adjustments and arrangements, feeling a little exhausted.

This situation in the Household Department is too common in various departments in Jinling these days, but the Household Department got into trouble at the last moment on the last day and became a critical household.

They couldn't just sit back and let this situation go away. They were also afraid if Zheng Ji gave them eye drops for their final roster.

"So, Mr. Zheng...what else do you have that you haven't promised them?"

Pulling Zheng Ji aside, Lin Han went straight to the point. This situation is too common, and the following conditions have not been agreed upon.

"I've already given them what I should give them! I didn't even hold them accountable for leaking the secret... But now they've gone too far and even asked for money! Real money and silver, ten thousand taels of silver per vote! Where can I get this money? They It’s just that I’m afraid that I will go up and take revenge on them!”

Speaking of this, Zheng Ji became even more angry. With these two young men in his department, it felt so uncomfortable to be stabbed in the back.

"Is it really about money?"

Lin Han didn't believe this one-sided statement. Are you kidding me? The Minister of Hubu and the Ministry of Hubu will be short of money?

"They have several granaries that can't match it - how can I put a little bit of sand in my eyes?"

Zheng Ji said angrily: "I only found out two days ago that they actually did a lot of immoral things without telling me. I don't dare to think about it. Is it a problem of a few granaries not being matched, or is there a sieve in our household department?" It’s a problem!”

Yes, this kind of thing is commonplace.

But... Lin Han really couldn't interrupt, and he didn't expect that Zheng Ji still had a conscience as an official. Was this conscience discovered recently, or had it been there for a long time?
"Then Mr. Zheng, if you continue to have a stalemate like this... I can only cancel your quota in the household department..."

"Mr. Zheng, you have to think carefully about whether you will still be in the household department when the time comes..."

Lin Han didn't want to get involved, but thinking that the other two found him last night... he reluctantly said a word.

"Are you in the household department..."

Zheng Ji himself couldn't help but think about it.

……

"Lord Zheng Ji, twenty-seven votes!"

"Zuo Shilang 0 votes!"

"Right Minister, 0 votes!"

Half an hour later, the voting results appeared again.

At this time, everyone in the household department was satisfied. Who said that their household department was not united? This is not very united!

..."Your Majesty, after five days of voting in Jinling city, here is the list of four vice presidents and the list of ten alternate members!"

Not long after the voting results of the Ministry of Household Affairs appeared, Lin Han placed the list that had been brewing for five days on Zhu Houzhao's desk.

Good guy.

Zhu Houzhao just swept it away and almost laughed.

These lists are all top leaders in each department!

For the four vice-presidential places, they had come up with twenty-four primary candidates.

As for the list of ten members, there are a hundred people on it.

This is almost the same as not doing any work, but Zhu Houzhao already knows that the various departments in Jinling are indeed going to fight these days.

"There's nothing wrong with this list, right? You didn't force them to choose it unwillingly, right?" Knowing that, he still asked a routine question.

"Absolutely not! All the places on the list are supervised by people from our three departments: the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Punishment. No one dares to go against His Majesty's wishes!" Lin Han assured him, patting his chest and looking forward to it. Zhu Houzhao gave the next instructions.

"Okay, that's the list!"

"However, I only chose four, you signed up so many people..."

"It's really difficult. Lin Han, what suggestions do you have?"

Zhu Houzhao was not that stupid to decide the list so quickly.

"Your Majesty... I think that the next step will be internal selection by the people on this list? The twenty-four people for the vice president's quota will elect four... and the one hundred people for the parliamentary quota will elect ten?"

Lin Han tentatively gave suggestions. This round is the real exchange of interests.

In the first round, Zhu Houzhao bought people's hearts and asked the top leaders of their departments to provide benefits to the people below.

"That's okay. How many days do you want? However, we still need the feudal king's opinion on the final list."

Zhu Houzhao calculated slightly, six days had passed for this round of chatting, and a new round of chatting would come in four days. Obviously, these people would not be selected so quickly before the fourth chatting.

"I still need the lord's advice..."

The corner of Lin Han's mouth twitched, and he could only do a little calculation: "In this case, Your Majesty, it will take ten days at the earliest!"

This final competition is obviously not as childish as the first round. It requires the Eight Immortals to cross the sea and show their magical powers. In Lin Han's opinion, he still needs to wait for seven or eight days.

Therefore, he gave time according to his own interests.

"Ten days are too long. It was originally meant for Taizu to prepare for the Double Ceremony. If you waste time anymore, the anniversary of Taizu's death will have passed. Five days. I will give you another five days to come up with the final list! I also hope that the next day will be over. This time there is no objection to the list! You can select a presidential list that I am satisfied with!"

Zhu Houzhao directly shortened the time by half. He also wanted to do this as quickly as possible, preferably before Li Dongyang arrived.

In addition, the fourth chat ended just in time to start the big fight.

And...before the fourth chat, he also needs to find some topics to chat about.

Therefore, he set a date for the day after the fourth chat.

"Yes!"

Lin Han's heart tightened. This time was indeed urgent enough and seemed necessary.

"Channing!"

"exist!"

"Take this list and pay close attention to these twenty-four people to see what they will do next and who they will meet!"

After Lin Han left, Zhu Houzhao directly called Jinyiwei. Jinling had already found important people, and it was obviously easier for him to understand these officials point-to-point.

Naturally, he would not miss this opportunity.

"Yes!" Qian Ning accepted the order.

"By the way, how did you finish what you were assigned to do last time?"

He also asked about the arrangements made last time.

"Your Majesty, the matter is almost completed..."

"Okay, take me to see..."

Zhu Houzhao became busy again.
