As a host, the biggest advantage is that you can flexibly control the rhythm.
When Lin Tailai was thinking about how to optimize the program, others probably saw Lin Tailai's intention to slow down the pace.
As a candidate, Lu Guangzu wanted to avoid suspicion, so Song Hui, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, became the highest-ranking figure among the Qingliu forces present.
So Song Qi stood up again and said loudly: "I support Lu Guangzu as the positive recommendation, who else agrees?"
After that, Sun Qin, the left minister of the Ministry of Hubu, Yang Junmin, the right minister of the Ministry of Hubu, Shao Bi, the right minister of the Criminal Ministry, Zeng Tongheng, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Liu Yukui, the Zhanshifu of Zhanshi Mansion, stood up one after another to express their support for Lu Guangzu.
These people are either die-hard members of the Qingliu forces, fellow villagers of Lu Guangzu, or the Shanxi Gang commanded by Sange Lao Wang Jiaping.
Lin Tailai counted in his mind. Together with Song Hui, there were already six people, more than Wang Shizhen's supporters!
If there are swings or centrists who support Lu Guangzu next, they will completely crush Wang Shizhen’s supporters in terms of numbers!
Seeing Zhao Yongxian, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, taking a step forward, as if he wanted to follow suit, Lin Tailai suddenly warned sternly:
"Uncle Zhao Shaozong! As a fellow from Suzhou Prefecture, I, the host, have to remind you a few words!
Your reputation was greatly damaged because of your breakup of the engagement! This time, you must also cherish your feathers and don't ruin your image again!"
Zhao Yongxian, who has been decadent for two or three months: "???"
What do you mean, Lin Tailai? You've been riding horses to no end, right?
After interrupting Zhao Yongxian, Lin Tailai continued: "Because I suddenly remembered that thirteen years ago you selflessly impeached the Prime Minister Zhang Juzheng, and after being dismissed from office, you lived at home, and your feelings were desolate.
But Wang Shizhen has supported you many times and allowed you to be the fifth son of the retro school for two consecutive generations. This is extremely rare in the literary world. It can be said that he is half teacher and half friend to you!
Don't let your kindness in the past affect today's official affairs and give you a reputation of favoritism and neglect of public affairs."
Zhao Yongxian: "."
No one who can stand here is a fool. Could it be that they can't hear what Lin Tailai really means?
The truth is the truth, but listen to it the other way around!
Leader Wang was so kind to you, Zhao Yongxian, back then. If you act selflessly today and speak out against Wang Shizhen, hahahaha.
In the past, the master Zhang Juzheng was assassinated, and in the later he was against his benefactor Wang Shizhen. Will you, Zhao Yongxian, have the nerve to hang out in the future? Does anyone dare to have a heart-to-heart relationship with you?
Host Lin also warned you before that Zhao Yongxian's reputation has dropped significantly recently, so don't ruin your image again!
Originally, after Zhao Yongxian defected to the Qingliu forces, the camp should support Lu Guangzu today, but now he hesitates.
Others can't persuade me back, and they can't say, "Zhao Yongxian, please stop being like this."
"Tell me! Who do you support?" Lin Tailai suddenly pointed at Zhao Yongxian and shouted!
Zhao Yongxian trembled in his heart and said subconsciously: "Senior Wang Shizhen."
"I understand, please step back first." Lin Tailai regained his composure.
Then he said to everyone: "Now there are six supporters of Wang Shizhen and Lu Guangzu. It seems that it is impossible to form a mainstream opinion."
As the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Wang Yongji had to remind him: "Did you forget that there is another candidate Wu Shilai?"
Even if this person is taking care of the chief assistant's face, he can't make it too obvious, right?
After the symbolic declaration of the candidate list, you Lin Tailai did not mention Wu Shilai at all. This is too much!
Lin Tailai seemed to suddenly realize it. After looking around, he patted his forehead and said, "I didn't see Mr. Wu at the scene today, so I didn't remember it for a moment!"
Then he asked Wang Yongji: "Why didn't Mr. Wu arrive?"
Wang Yongji replied: "I was sick, so I didn't arrive."
Lin Tailai sighed and said: "Wu Zongxian Shilai and Wang Dasi Kou Shizhen actually have a shortcoming, they are old and sick.
In contrast, although Lu Da Si Kou Guangzu is also older, his body is stronger and his energy is as strong as that of a mature man."
As the saying goes, no one who can stand here is a fool.
Some people ignored Lin Tailai's words, but some people listened.
"Okay, let's not talk about the useless stuff for now." Lin Tailai took back the topic of health, "Now let's continue with the calculation. Is there anyone who agrees with Wang Shizhen?"
As he spoke, he stared at Yu Shenxing, the Minister of Rites. Compared with other big shots, Yu Shenxing was considered "young" in age.
Yu Shenxing, who is not very clique-y, hesitated for a moment and then said, "I agree."
In the context of the great catastrophe of the country, it is very difficult to be the Minister of Rites responsible for the etiquette system, but there is almost nowhere to go.
The next step for the Minister of Rites is to either join the cabinet or become the Minister of Personnel. There is no other choice.
The cabinet is not a good place to be now, so the only way out for Yu Shenxing is probably to become the Minister of Personnel.
If you want to compete for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Service next time, maybe you can give it a try if you have accumulated enough qualifications.
This time, let’s choose a minister of the Ministry of official affairs who is in poor health. Otherwise, where will the opportunity be in the future?
After Yu Shenxing expressed his stance, there seemed to be a chain reaction. Chen Yubi, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, also said: "I agree."
Given Xueshi Chen's status, the next step could only be to be the Minister of Rites. Only if the current Minister, Yu Shenxing, made the first move, could he follow suit.
Lin Tailai shouted like a hawker: "There are already eight people who agree with Wang Shizhen! Is there anyone who agrees with Lu Guangzu?"
No one spoke at this time. Although the Qingliu forces were united enough with their strength, they also made many enemies.
If centrists have other choices, they generally don't like to support the Qingliu forces.
Another big boss, Wang Yi'e, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, who was not very cliquey and relied on technology to make a living, said loudly: "I agree with Wu Shilai!"
First, he doesn't like to take obvious sides between the two sides; second, for this old-school bureaucrat, choosing the chief assistant if he doesn't know who to choose is an alternative way of taking the overall situation into consideration.
Finally, someone spoke up to support Wu Shilai, who was running with him. Lin Tailai could no longer ignore it and could only say, "Does anyone still agree with Wu Shilai?"
Wang Yongji, the right servant of the Ministry of Personnel, responded: "Me."
You must always support the candidates you "nominate".
After that, four more people spoke up one after another to support Wu Shilai.
Like Wu Shilai, Afu's left deputy chief minister Zhan Yangpi, the censor of the capital, Gao Gong's wife's nephew, the former chief minister Gao Gong's wife and nephew, Zhang Mengnan, the left minister of the Ministry of punishment, the same year as the chief minister of Shen, Zhou Cai, the minister of Dali temple, etc.
Together with the Grand Sima Wang Yiou and the Shaozhong Chief Wang Yongji, there were six people in total.
Lin Tailai also didn't expect that Wu Shilai, whom he regarded as his companion, could actually get the support of six people.
It can be seen from this that Shen Shoufu has some background after being the first assistant for so many years.
Finally, Lin Tailai concluded: "Currently, eight people agree with Wang Shizhen as the positive candidate, six people agree with Lu Guangzu, and six people agree with Wu Shilai!
The majority of people still agree with Wang Shizhen, so Wang Shizhen is the positive one."
Song Hui, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, said dissatisfiedly: "It's only eight to six! There is no obvious advantage in the number of people who agree with Wang Shizhen! I think there is no obvious positive recommendation."
Lin Tailai took a deep breath and asked, "Did you forget something?"
Song Kai was puzzled. The comparison of the number of people was eight and six. He was right and he didn't forget anything.
Lin Tailai pointed at himself and mocked Song Qi: "I'm here to participate in the competition, and I haven't said anything yet! Have you forgotten?
Now I declare that I agree with Wang Shizhen! Then there are nine people on Wang Shizhen’s side!
You said eight to six is not an advantage, but is nine to six enough? Do you want me to conjure up another ten to six?"
Song Hui: "."
Lin Tailai pushed Song Qi away, looked around and asked, "Who else is there?"
