"According to the news I've inquired recently, most of the officials in the imperial court have stated that they want to stand on our side.

It seems that this time, Hua Xiong's arrogance can be severely suppressed. "

Fu Wan also had a smug smile on his face.

"So good."

Yang Biao also rarely showed a smile.

……

The next day.

In the court hall.

Yang Xiu stood in the center of the hall and said to the ministers behind him,

"Colleagues, I will distribute notes to you later.

You just need to write your agreement or disagreement on it, and then put the note into the box in the hand of the eunuch. "

Everyone looked aside, an eunuch was holding a big wooden box in his hand.

"After everyone has voted, I will make statistics in front of everyone.

If the final result is more than half of the votes in favor.

The woman's entry into the court as an official went smoothly.

Otherwise, the king of Wei will remove Mrs. Zun's official position from the Ordnance Department.

Your Majesty, King Wei, what do you think? "

Yang Xiu looked at Hua Xiong.

"I have no opinion."

Hua Xiong spread his hands.

"I agree."

It is naturally impossible for Liu Xie to object.

"Okay, let's start then."

Yang Xiu nodded.

The eunuchs on the side distributed the notes to the court ministers present.

Because of the large number of people, it took a long time to put all the votes into the box.

"Xun Lingjun has always been a fair and fair person, why don't you count the votes. How about it?"

Yang Xiu looked at Xun Yu with a smile.

Xun Yu looked at Hua Xiong asking for instructions.

Hua Xiong nodded slightly, smiled lightly and said,

"That's exactly what I mean."

So Xun Yu no longer refused, and walked out from the ranks of ministers.

He opened the wooden box containing the ballot box, and gently took out a note from the box.

"agree."

Xun Yu put the note representing consent in the red tray on the table beside him.

"agree."

"agree."

"..."

Several votes in a row, all agreed.

This made Yang Xiu frowned slightly.

He exchanged glances with Yang Biao, Fu Wan and others behind him.

And at this moment, Xun Yu took out another vote, looked up,

"disagree."

He put this note on the black tray on the right.

Seeing this, Yang Xiu and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"agree."

"agree."

"agree."

"..."

"agree."

After reading a note, Xun Yu put his hand into the wooden box, only to find that there was no note inside.

He said in a low voice,

"The voting results have been counted."

Everyone was shocked and looked at the table.

I saw the paper slips in the red tray piled up like a hill.

And in the black tray, there were only a few notes, probably not even twenty in total.

In the dispute between Hua Xiong, Yang Xiu and the others, it was clear at a glance who would win.

"Dezu, it seems that I won?"

Hua Xiong smiled.

"How is that possible?! I want to check the voting results!"

Yang Xiu lost his voice.

"Master Yang seems to be doubting my character.

The voting results are here, if you don't believe me, check it yourself. "

Xun Yu's face remained unchanged, and he said coldly.

Yang Xiu ignored Xun Yu, stepped forward quickly, picked up the note from the red tray, and began to examine it carefully.

In his opinion, there is definitely something wrong with the voting result!

Otherwise, how could Hua Xiong win with such a huge gap.

But when Yang Xiu finished checking every piece of paper, his whole body became distraught.

"how can that be……"

He muttered to himself, the expression on his face was like seeing a ghost.

On all the notes, the word "agree" is clearly written!

Seeing Yang Xiu's expression, the people behind them immediately understood that this time, Hua Xiong won the vote!

Yang Biao and Fu Wan's expressions became extremely embarrassing.

They thought that they might lose, but they never expected that they would lose so ugly!

The dozens of votes on the black tray are so slapping and ironic!

But Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others became very excited.

"Since you have no objection to the voting results, then I won.

I declare that from now on, if any woman is talented and virtuous, she can also enter the court as an official. "

Hua Xiong said with one hammer.

Although Yang Biao, Yang Xiu and others have a million disagreements in their hearts,

But the voting results are here, and they can only choose to swallow their anger.

After the meeting ended, Yang Biao, Yang Xiu and others, who were puzzled, left the palace dejectedly.

Hua Xiong brought his subordinates to the command post.

As soon as he sat down, Guo Jia couldn't wait to ask,

"My lord, what kind of tricks did you use to beat Yang Xiu and the others so crushingly?"

Seeing everyone's expectant expressions, Hua Xiong laughed,

"Actually, it's not really a trick. I just let the perfume shop, soap shop and tobacco shop under my name give discounts."

Everyone looked at each other, and they could see the bewilderment in each other's eyes.

What is this operation?

Let these shops discount, can they defeat Yang Xiu and the others in the vote?

"My lord, don't be foolish, just tell me!"

"Yeah, we're all dying of anxiety."

A group of people urged.

"Let me ask you first, who are the people who can go to perfume shops, soap shops, and tobacco shops?"

Hua Xiong asked back.

"Uh... it seems that they are all dignitaries in the court."

Gao Shun is not sure.

"That's right. When I was in charge of selling tobacco, I made statistics.

Most of the people who came to buy tobacco were court officials, and the rest were wealthy businessmen from Beijing and China. "

Li Ru definitely said.

"Yes."

Hua Xiong laughed,

"I asked the clerk at the tobacco shop to tell the officials who came to buy cigarettes.

As long as I can win this vote, I will give each of them a Huazi.

So naturally they voted for me. "

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

Huazi is different from Huaxia brand cigarettes, only Huaxiong can have them.

Because it is extremely rare and has a good taste, it is very popular among smokers.

Its value is no less than a gold bar, and the most important thing is that it is priceless.

Hua Xiong offered such a reward, no wonder those ministers who like to smoke would choose to vote for him.

"No. Even so, there are still a large number of ministers who don't like smoking.

Why should they vote for you, my lord? "

Zhou Cang said in bewilderment.

"Besides, I have also resorted to tricks in perfume shops and soap shops."

Chapter 2 Where did you lose?

"Ah? Could it be that the officials in the DPRK still like soap and perfume?"

Zhou Cang asked stupidly.

"You really don't have any brains." Guo Jia scolded with a smile, "They don't use it, but their families do."

He is intelligent, and has roughly guessed Hua Xiong's intentions.
