Among the three people from the Ministry of War, Sun Chengzong took the lead and threw himself into the jade bottle without hesitation, followed closely by the left and right ministers of the Ministry of War, Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Keli.
Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Keli exchanged glances, and then their eyes met.
Obviously, the two sides did not agree on this vote, and Sun Chengzong did not interfere with the two people's voting, but just acted according to his own wishes.
Xiong Tingbi hesitated again and again and put the jade kui into the jade plate, but Yuan Keli did not hesitate and put the jade kui directly into the jade vase.
Xiong Tingbi and Feng Ziying did not have much contact. Although they seemed to have intertwined positions in the Ministry of War, Feng Ziying had not really worked together in Jiangnan, Hebei, and Liaodong at that time. They were far less close than Sun Chengzong and Feng Ziying. In addition,
Xiong Tingbi didn't want to leave an impression on the outside world, so he made such a decision.
Fifteen votes.
Gu Bingqian and Qiao Yingjia could already feel the huge shock and pressure.
Already fifteen votes have been cast, and there are only six votes left to pass the halfway mark. It seems that accidents are constantly happening.
Yuan Keli was expected, but Zhang Nai was unexpected.
Why did this famous Jiangnan official fall in love with Feng Ziying?
Gu Bingqian silently thought about the intertwined experiences of the two people. It seemed that when Feng Ziying was the governor of Shaanxi, Feng Ziying left and Zhang Nai took over as Zuo Buzong of the Shaanxi Chengxuan Department. The only intersection between the two was such a short time point.
Feng Ziying's charm is so great, how can such a brief encounter be admired and recognized by a character like Zhang Nai who has been in the official career for many years?
After the Ministry of War is the Ministry of Punishment.
Sun Juxiang, the Minister of Justice, voted against without any doubt. As Qiao Yingjia's most important ally, no matter how much he admired Feng Ziying, he could not support Feng Ziying at this time.
Chen Yuting, the left minister, also followed him in voting against, while Huang Gongfu, the right minister, also voted in favor without any doubt. As a seconder, of course he had no hesitation.
Sixteen votes.
Ministry of Industry.
Gu Bingqian and Qiao Yingjia both became nervous.
The three people from the Ministry of Industry are the most dangerous, Wang Yongguang, the minister of affairs, Li Zhizao, the minister on the left, and Pan Ruzhen, the minister on the right.
There is no need to say anything about Pan Ruzhen, but it is hard to say about Wang Yongguang and Li Zhizao.
Wang Yongguang and Cui Jingrong are both from Changyuan, Henan. Cui Jingrong voted in favor. What about Wang Yongguang?
Li Zhizao was from Hangzhou, Zhejiang. In theory, he would not support Feng Ziying. However, he had a close relationship with Xu Guangqi and admired Gewu very much. He also had some sympathy with Feng Ziying.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Wang Yongguang and Li Zhizao, but no one cared about Pan Ruzhen.
Wang Yongguang and Li Zhizao walked to the desk and took out the jade jar. Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Yongguang gently put the jade jar down into the jade vase, while Li Zhizao and Pan Ruzhen also took out the jade jar.
Follow suit and cast.
Nineteen votes!
When Wang Yongguang and Li Zhizao also voted in favor of Feng Ziying, Gu Bingqian and Qiao Yingjia both shook their bodies slightly, and their bodies that were originally standing upright seemed to have become a lot more rickety.
These two votes determined that Feng Ziying was invincible.
In fact, Gu Bingqian and Qiao Yingjia had already realized that Feng Ziying's victory was irreversible before this.
Even if there are not these two votes, there are still Huang Shijun, the left minister of the Ministry of Commerce, Lian Guoshi, the minister of agriculture, and Geng Ruqi, the right minister of the Ministry of Agriculture. These three votes are enough to send Feng Ziying to the threshold of twenty votes, and there is also Feng Ziying in the cabinet.
He and Xu Guangqi could get twenty-two votes, a solid majority.
But now Wang Yongguang and Li Zhizao have only accelerated the prominence of this result.
The result is no longer in suspense.
In addition to Huang Shijun, Lian Guoshi, and Geng Ruqi, Bi Ziyan, the right minister of the Ministry of Commerce, also voted in favor.
Qiao Yingjia then remembered that Bi Ziyan and Feng Ziying were not only from Shandong Province, but that Bi Ziyan and Guo Zhengyu had also worked with Feng Ziying to organize the Yangzhou Stock Exchange in Yangzhou, and they had a particularly close relationship.
Twenty-three votes!
Before everyone in the cabinet participated in the voting, Feng Ziying had already received an overwhelming 23 votes, which made Gu Bingqian and Qiao Yingjia feel a lot relieved.
It would be really depressing if Feng Ziying really relied on just two votes from himself and Xu Guangqi, the cabinet, to get a majority. But now, they don't even use his own votes and just get a majority. In this case, again
What else is there to say?
Think about it, I have been in officialdom for decades, but I still can't compare to a young man who has been in office for more than ten years in the voting of important ministers. Moreover, this young man is still my son and nephew, and he has been under my command.
Seeing the advice, Gu Bingqian, Qiao Yingjia and even Guan Yingzhen looked at each other and shook their heads with a wry smile.
As all other important ministers except the cabinet ministers had finished voting, the situation had become completely clear, and everyone in the palace couldn't help but become restless.
Such a voting result can be said to be far beyond everyone's expectations.
They expected that it would be difficult for Gu Guanqiao and the others to decide the winner, and they also expected that there might be several rounds of voting, but they did not expect that a group of dark horses would emerge in the end, and Feng Ziying would be the winner.
Xu Guangqi glanced at Gu Guan, Qiao and Feng with a smile, and then took a step forward: "Liu Ji Gong, Dongxian Gong, Ru Jungong, Ziying, it's our turn to vote."
Guan Yingzhen laughed, "Zixian, is this necessary?"
Xu Guangqi shook his head: "Dongxian Gong, since it is a procedure, no matter what the result is, we must complete the procedure to avoid feeling that the imperial government's grand plan has become child's play..."
Feng Ziying also glanced at the princes and said, "Then let's go through it all according to Mr. Zi Xian's opinion. Everyone is watching, and the emperor above is also very interested."
Hearing Feng Ziying mention the emperor, Gu Guanqiao and others suddenly remembered that there seemed to be an emperor on the throne who said nothing, but rolled his eyes and watched the performance of others.
Since Feng Ziying said so, Xu Guangqi took the lead in casting his own twenty-four votes.
Feng Ziying also smiled slightly and put her jade pen into the jade vase. There was no need to pretend to be noble. If you didn't even support yourself, how could you talk about confidence and ambition?
Twenty-five votes.
Qiao Yingjia held the Yugui in his hand, pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "Ziying, I will not vote for you, so as not to disappoint those who support me, but in the future, all the scholars in the North will support you."
Guan Yingzhen didn't say much, he just looked at Feng Ziying and nodded, then put his jade gui into the jade vase.
Twenty-six votes.
Gu Bingqian finally walked to the desk, looked at Feng Ziying, held Yugui and knocked on the mouth of the jade bottle, with a face full of emotion, "Ziying, from now on it will be up to you."
Twenty-seven votes.
I corrected some memory errors earlier, but it doesn't affect it.
