First Secret Agent in History

"The secret voting will begin next. If you support His Excellency Yun Zhonghe to become the king of the empire, write "support". If you oppose, write "oppose." The first dean said: "If you are worried about being recognized, you can write with your left hand. We are all here There are 395 people, and once the number of supporters exceeds 70%, we will use all our strength and push His Excellency Yun Zhonghe to his rightful position at all costs."

"Vice President Ji Qing, could you please prepare a box? And prepare 395 pieces of paper!"

Ji Qing was stunned for a moment.

To be honest, she didn't react.

Why is this happening? what's going on?

I brought you to see Yun Zhonghe's achievements solely because it has great significance to the empire and can change the empire's civilization.

You have no idea of ​​promoting Yun Zhonghe as the king of the empire? Are you overreacting?

This is... distance creates beauty.

These professors and scholars are relatively far away from Yun Zhonghe. They know him through Yun Zhonghe's works.

Last year, Yun Zhonghe challenged the New Dayan Empire and won all five battles.

So awesome, his music is awesome, his books are awesome.

Especially the Kewu Holy Book written by Yun Zhonghe this time is completely the key to the upgrade of the empire's civilization and completely represents the direction of human progress. This is simply a saint-like existence.

This made all scientists instinctively think of Yan Xin Sect, and felt that Yun Zhonghe was extremely sacred and radiant.

But the relationship between Ji Qing and Yun Zhonghe during this period has been too close, and the distance is almost negative. Although they are somewhat mentally and physically ruined,...she sees that Yun Zhonghe has no halo.

Are you suddenly going to elect him as a leader? I am really inexplicably surprised that my husband is a god.

So, Ji Qing lowered her head and thought about this problem.

Is this scumbag Yun Zhonghe really that amazing?

He is very objective, thinks from a third perspective, and eliminates the negative impression that Yun Zhonghe is average in some fields.

Ji Qing discovered that Yun Zhonghe was really amazing.

…………………………………………

Ji Qing took the box and gave each person a piece of paper.

The first dean said: "Start filling in."

The 395 people present covered their faces with their hands and wrote their opinions on white paper.

"After filling in, fold the white paper."

Everyone present folded all the white paper so that no one could directly see what they wrote.

"Put it in the box."

395 people lined up to put their votes into the box.

……………………

The next step is to start counting votes.

"support!"

"support!"

"support!"

"support!"

"be opposed to!"

In the sound of sacred votes, the final result came out. There were 395 people in total, 305 supported it, 30 opposed it and 60 abstained.

The first dean announced: "The support rate exceeds 70%. Fellow bachelors, this means that we must do our best to push Yun Zhonghe to become the king of the empire."

"I believe what Your Excellency Yun Zhonghe said. The entire world is in danger. The darkness of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom has enveloped half of the world, and will soon envelope the New Great Yan Empire."

"This dark force is unknown. We are already in darkness and fog. We need a light and a morning star to guide us out of the darkness and towards a bright future."

"And this person is His Excellency Yun Zhonghe."

"Of course, this is a very dangerous operation. The top leaders of the empire are enlightened, but they may not always be enlightened. So our proposition may bring danger to lives, and even bring huge subversion to the empire. So I understand it very well. Vote no and abstain and you can leave now and stay out of it.”

Next, the first dean turned his back, which showed a very gentlemanly attitude. Although he had different views and did not seek each other's will, he would never say anything bad, and there was no need to face such a breakup of friendship.

Then, most of the people present turned around.

Next, there was the sound of the door opening, obviously someone leaving.

After almost three minutes, everyone present turned around again. There were 369 people left among the 395 people present.

Those who voted against and those who abstained totaled ninety people, but only twenty-six people walked away.

One of the physics professors raised his hand and said: "I voted against it because I don't want to break the status quo. I love the current empire and I don't want it to experience huge turbulence. But since you have made a decision, then I I am willing to follow, but I am unwilling to leave this organization that I love. Besides, I have never been married, have no children, and have no wife. I... don’t even have a wife?!"

The professor seemed to realize this problem.

Then, the faces of more than one-third of the professors present also turned sad. The atmosphere of the whole room was inexplicably deceived, and there was a sad atmosphere in the air.

No one wants to be single, especially on special occasions. But they are too busy at work and completely obsessed with experiments and research. How can they have time to get married? Moreover, it is too troublesome to deal with women, so some people get divorced even if they get married.

There were 395 people present, and about a hundred or so people were currently single.

…………………………

"The first agenda item of our closed-door meeting was a complete success, and we unanimously agreed to elect His Excellency Yun Zhonghe as the King of the Empire." The First Dean said: "Then we move on to the second agenda item. How should we elect His Excellency Yun Zhonghe as the King of the Empire? King of?"

Ji Qing raised her hand.

"Vice President Ji Qing, please speak."

Ji Qing said: "According to the current situation, direct restoration is unrealistic. Our New Dayan Empire has been without an emperor for more than a thousand years, and everyone is used to not having an emperor."

The First Dean said: "Let me correct you a little. In fact, our New Great Yan Empire has an emperor. That is His Majesty Yan Xinzong, but after him, no suitable successor can be found, so the throne is temporarily vacant. But our New Great Yan Empire is still an empire and a monarchy."

Ji Qing said: "Yes, we still have an emperor in name. But the fact is that the throne of the New Dayan Empire has been missing for more than a thousand years, and after the previous generation of ruling kings had a dictatorial tendency, he contracted an illness inexplicably, and then his term was not yet It’s over and you’re dead.”

The Dean of the Second College said: "In fact, I was also opposed to the dictatorship of the previous generation of ruling kings. But what Deputy Dean Ji Qing said makes sense."

Ji Qing said: "And we have to admit that there is a gap in intelligence between people. We cannot ask everyone in the entire empire to be as smart as us."

Everyone nodded wildly, and everyone present firmly believed that the wisest people in the entire empire were here.

Ji Qing said: "So if you want to promote Yun Zhonghe to the throne, you need to do it step by step. If you can't do it in one step, it will take time, and you need to support the public opinion of the entire empire."

The Dean of the First College said: "What Deputy Dean Ji Qing said makes sense, but I think we should be careful about each step. We should not be too slow. At least we should have a definite name."

Ji Qing said: "Yes, the key is to determine the title, so first let Yun Zhonghe become the new ruling king. In order to gain the support of Prince Ji Sheng, we will not touch Ji Yan's status as a candidate for the military ruling king for the time being. Xian Yun Zhonghe recommended Shangwen to be the ruling king."

"agree!"

"agree!"

"agree!"

Most people present raised their hands and voted.

"Okay, then this matter is settled. Let us first fight for the position of Prince Wen for His Excellency Yun Zhonghe." The dean of the First College said: "Then let's move on to the third agenda, how to seize the throne of Prince Wen. ? Regarding this matter, I want to express my opinion."

"First of all, there must be a civil war, not a military war! Although we have a huge voice and control the highest productivity of the empire, we do not have an army in our hands, and the empire is an enlightened empire, and there cannot be civil war. We must ask the royal clan, The two ruling kings and the Senate have legitimately made our request to elect His Excellency Yun Zhonghe as the king of the empire."

"But there is one thing I need everyone to express. Should we lobby first and then submit a letter? Or should we submit a letter first and then lobby?"

This comes to the key point again.

Ordinarily, one should first lobby the Senate and the Royal Family Association, and then publicly submit a letter. This way, one would be more sure.

The dean of the Second Academy said: "I think we should submit a letter first and then lobby. We are aboveboard. We are for the future of the empire. We will never collude in secret. Whatever we want to do, we will do it openly and not in a cowardly manner."

"agree!"

"agree!"

"agree!"

……………………

In this way, this group of Imperial professors and Imperial scholars held a closed-door meeting for several hours.

More than nine items were discussed and all passed.

The meeting ends and the door opens.

At this time, Yun Zhonghe had already wandered around the Third Academy several times.

After seeing Yun Zhonghe, the first dean bowed down and bowed down.

Then more than 300 people in the audience bowed down to Yun Zhonghe.

Then...the group of people all left.

And it is actually full of the spirit of wind rustling and Yi Shuihan.

…………………………

An hour later!

These more than 300 people all changed into long robes and costumes, and wore high crowns.

They have not dressed up like this for many years, because the clothing of the New Dayan Empire has also gone through a series of reforms and innovations. Although the clothes are still Chinese-style and still mainly robes, they are no longer the same as they were hundreds of years ago. It’s so complicated and not so antique anymore.

But now, they all put on ancient robes.

More than three hundred people walked towards the Imperial Palace.

Everyone's face was full of solemnity, solemnity, and determination.

Everyone held a memorial in their hands. The New Dayan Empire has not used memorials for a long time, but now each of them has a memorial in their hands.

It was difficult for them not to attract attention with this move.

More and more people are discovering them.

This... what is this going to do?

What happened? Have you never had this attitude before?

All officials and senior officials in the entire New Dayan Empire graduated from several major colleges, almost without exception.

These more than 300 people represented the highest intellectual class of the empire. And five of them will enter the next generation of Senate.

The leaders of the nine major academies of the empire must have five places to enter the Senate. This is also an unspoken rule.

Because the New Dayan Empire was founded by exiled new scholars, the deans of five comprehensive academies must enter the Senate after leaving their positions as deans.

Therefore, when Ji Qing becomes the vice-president of the Third Academy, her position will be blocked in advance.

These three hundred people were neatly organized, solemn and resolute. They did not ride in carriages, but walked neatly.

Attracting more and more people’s attention.

Something is going to happen, something big is going to happen.

………………………………

After walking for more than an hour, more than 300 of the empire's top scholars arrived outside the gate of the ruling palace.

The New Dayan Empire has two palaces, one is the Dayan Palace and the other is the Executive Palace.

Dayan Palace is the palace of the emperor, but the emperor of the new Dayan Empire has been missing for more than a thousand years, so the symbolic significance of this palace is greater than its practical significance, and it is now regarded as a museum.

The highest power center of the New Dayan Empire has always been the ruling palace. Not only is the ruling king here, but the Senate is also here.

The guards at the gate of the Consul Palace could not stop these three hundred top scholars.

Especially the deans of the five comprehensive academies, they are all the next members of the Council of Elders and have the power to enter the ruling palace at any time.

Three hundred people came directly outside the palace of the ruling king.

At this time, the ruling king's secretary Lang was already standing outside waiting.

"Please submit our memorial to the two ruling kings and the Lords of the Senate." The dean of the First Academy said, and handed over his own memorial.

Then, more than 300 people in total handed in memorials.

The plate in the secretary's hand, and a thick stack of memorials, were immediately sent into the palace.

………………………………

The two ruling kings of the New Dayan Empire picked up the memorials from the Dean of the First College and the Dean of the Second College respectively.

After reading it, his face suddenly twitched.

King Wen even closed his eyes, unable to continue reading, but after a while, he opened his eyes and continued reading.

The two ruling kings looked at it very carefully and looked at it twice.

Then they exchanged the memorials in their hands and found that they were exactly the same.

I picked up other memorials and opened them. I found that all the memorials had the same content, but the handwriting and signature were different.

This... is the first time.

For the first time since the founding of the New Dayan Empire, almost all the empire's top scholars expressed a unified stance.

Unprecedented!

Scholars in the empire are relatively pure. Generally speaking, they do not participate in politics and only focus on research.

Even after the five deans entered the Senate, they generally only focused on professional content such as empire building, physical development, and productivity development, and did not get too deep into politics.

Regarding the throne, he rarely expresses his position.

However, now, almost all the top scholars have expressed their opinions.

He wants to establish Yun Zhonghe as the king of the empire.

Are they just academics? No, the empire has a tradition of scholars. The entire New Dayan Empire was established by exiled new scholars, so every consul needs to be highly educated.

In other words, these top scholars were also the teachers of the two ruling kings and countless imperial officials.

This memorial contains thousands of words, explains everything clearly, and also comes with a new textbook written by Yun Zhonghe, which is known as the holy book of the empire's new civilization.

"Are they trying to force the palace?" King Wen said hoarsely.

This sentence is already considered a very severe condemnation.

However, the empire implements enlightened politics, and the ruling king does not have the power of life and death.

Facing a petition from 300 top scholars, it is impossible for them to shout that someone is treason and arrest them!

At least it is impossible to arrest people now, and it is impossible to arrest these top scholars, which will cause an uproar.

The empire was very cruel to the Yi people and cruel to the criminals, but it was relatively humble towards high-level scholars.

"Summon him in and let's meet him." Prince Wu said, "You can't pretend not to hear such a loud sound."

"Okay, let's meet." King Wen said, "Here, please invite the five deans to come in."

Only five deans of the nine major colleges in the empire were invited to come in because they were confirmed members of the Senate.

The consul's term was twenty years, while the senate's term was only ten, which was also a trade-off.

…………………………

After a while, the deans of the five major colleges entered the hall.

After a long while, King Wen said: "Teachers, as we all know, the new King has been selected. King Wen is Jin Nong, and King Wu is Ji Yan. This is the consensus of the entire empire, you want to Li Yun Zhonghe is the king of the empire, so I’m afraid it will cause turmoil in the empire.”

The five deans stood silently.

Now, although they have not entered the Senate and their power is not strong enough, their status is more transcendent.

Once they enter the Senate, they become officials and lose their status as scholars. They become subordinates of the consul king, and now they are the teachers of the consul king.

They have made it clear in their memorials what needs to be said. There is no need to say anything more at this time. Standing here without saying a word can actually show more firm will.

"For Ji Xia, we have secretly discussed letting him enter the next Senate." King Wen said: "Only after seeing the letters from teachers, we learned about his great contribution to the empire. So we feel that he You can even become the Vice-Consul of the Senate.”

The five deans remained silent.

There was an awkward silence in the hall.

King Wu suddenly said: "Deans, I am a martial arts practitioner, and you are not my teacher, so I may be a little harsh in my words."

The empire had a distinct distinction between civil and military affairs. Civil servants studied and grew up in academies, while military generals grew up in martial arts academies.

These are two educational systems that have no overlap, even though the academies also practice martial arts and the martial arts academy also practices literature.

The dean of the First College said: "The ruling king please speak."

King Wu said: "If neither we nor the Senate agree to your request, what will you do?"

When Prince Wu said this, his eyes narrowed slightly, showing a dangerous signal.

The meaning is very clear. What if your wishes are not fulfilled? Are you going to rebel? Or are you going to incite all the students to besiege the Consulate?

The dean of the First College sneered: "The Consul King is joking. We are just scholars. We have no military power and no army. It is impossible to rebel. Although we insist that our path is correct, we cannot command students to besiege the Consul Palace." and the Senate.”

In the eyes of the two ruling kings, the strongest thing these top scholars have is their appeal, and their biggest weapon is to lead tens of thousands of students to besiege the ruling palace.

Because these are the future of the empire, the elite of the empire.

Once the situation develops to that point, it will be difficult to handle, and the two ruling kings may not be able to escape the blame.

King Wu said: "In this case, if we and the Senate reject your request and refuse to make Yun Zhonghe king, then what are you going to do?"

The Dean of the First Academy said calmly: "The two ruling kings, what did His Majesty Emperor Yanxinzong of the old Great Yan Empire do? He wanted to lead the empire to a more advanced and brighter future, so he cultivated the new faction. As a result, he was besieged and persecuted by the conservatives, so His Majesty Emperor Yan Xinzong decided to gather the new forces, leave the empire, travel across the ocean, search for a new continent, and start from scratch to build a new Great Yan Empire."

Speaking of this, the dean of the First College said: "Although His Majesty Emperor Yan Xinzong died,... our ancestors still fulfilled his last wish and established the New Great Yan Empire. If history repeats itself today, then we will always have to We are more decent than we were a thousand years ago. We will not rebel or make trouble, we will only quietly self-exile."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two ruling kings changed and they asked in a trembling voice: "What do you mean?"

The dean of the First College said: "We will take our property and our followers to leave the empire and follow His Excellency Yun Zhonghe to establish another empire. Our ancestors had the courage to start over, and so do we!"

King Wen trembled and said, "Are you trying to split the empire?"

The dean of the First College said: "We self-exile and leave completely. Does this count as splitting the empire? When the empire cannot realize our ideals and cannot follow the right path, isn't it okay for us to leave here?"

King Wu said: "This is what you call division!"

The Dean of the First College said: "King Ruling, you say our behavior is a division? So more than a thousand years ago, our ancestors left the old Dayan Dynasty, traveled across the ocean, and rebuilt the New Dayan Empire? Is that also a division? ?Is that also sinful?”

Who can say this? Who dares to say?

The exodus of the new forces from the old Dayan Dynasty was absolutely politically correct, because they established the entire New Dayan Empire, and everyone in the empire now is their descendant.

Ruling King Wen said: "Deans, do you know that once Yun Zhonghe becomes the ruling king of the empire, he will start the entire war machine. Next, the New Great Yan Empire will prepare for war. The empire will have to Engaged in a staggering war for an old world tens of thousands of miles away.”

The dean of the First College said: "If you don't get involved in this war now, you will definitely get involved in the future. Many ancient sayings in the Eastern world are rubbish, but there are also many words that are true, such as living in sorrow and dying in happiness. Our new university Yan Empire has been invincible for too long, this kind of arrogance will lead to our destruction."

The Dean of the Second Academy said: "Two ruling kings, weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is. But now the empire is in arrogance and ignorance. We are on a cliff without knowing it. We are in a fog. You are in trouble without knowing it. If this continues, one day the race will be exterminated. We need a guiding light, we need a morning star."

Prince Wu said loudly: "Is the morning star you are talking about Yun Zhonghe? Is he just an outsider?"

The dean of the First Academy said loudly: "What happened to Your Excellency Yun Zhonghe? Isn't he a descendant of His Majesty Emperor Yan Xinzong? Isn't he the most direct heir of the Great Yan Empire? Doesn't he have the purest royal bloodline? Is it? His pedigree report has been read by several of us present. Although this report is burned, it does not mean that he does not exist. "

King Wen said loudly: "But he comes from the decadent Eastern world, he comes from the old world."

The dean of the Second Academy laughed and said: "To judge a person's age, doesn't it depend on his thoughts? Does it actually depend on his place of origin? I would like to ask the two ruling kings, whether it is literature, art, or the pursuit of things, Philosophy, these new knowledge, who in the entire empire can compare with His Excellency Yun Zhonghe?"

The dean of the First Academy said: "What is our highest purpose in electing the ruling king? The one who supports the highest wisdom can lead the empire to move forward. Has this purpose changed? Or Yun Zhonghe did not show his Wisdom? Did I remember that he won all five battles against the empire? Can't he still prove his wisdom? "

King Wen said word by word: "Choosing Yun Zhonghe means dragging the entire empire into the abyss of war."

The Dean of the Third Academy said sternly: "Two ruling kings, are you afraid of war? Whenever the empire is afraid of war, it will be no different from death."

King Wen said: "We are not afraid of war, but war will lead to death."

The dean of the First College laughed loudly: "Two ruling kings, let me ask you, can the empire prevent the coming of war? Can it? The decision of whether to have a war is not because of geographical barriers, but whether there are enemies and whether the enemies are against them. Are we hostile? Are they going to go to war with us? If the enemy can't find us temporarily because of geographical barriers, or the enemy's troops can't reach us temporarily, then it's just trying to survive, trying to survive. If the empire is afraid of war because it's trying to survive , then this empire should die!"

The dean of the Second Academy said: "Two ruling kings, I also want to ask you a question. Is the Great Salt Demonic Kingdom hostile to us? If not, why are people with the blood of the Great Salty Demon Kingdom imprisoned?"

The president of the First College said: "Two ruling kings, you said we are here to force you to convict? We are an enlightened empire. We do not rebel or force you to convict. We just want to persuade you. We just want to persuade the entire empire to go on the right path. We do not play conspiracies, do not engage in civil war, and do not engage in division. But if we cannot convince you, it will prove that we all have different views and do not work together, and it means that the new Great Yan Empire has become the old empire. We will bring our like-minded people with us. Those who want to leave here will support His Excellency Yun Zhonghe and establish another empire."

The Dean of the Second Academy said: "The two ruling kings, we really are not here to force the king to go to the palace. We are just here to plead with the two ruling kings to join hands on the right path and lead the empire to a higher civilization. But if you are not willing, Then we’ll go our separate ways.”

At this time, the ruling king suddenly said: "Several deans, if you really lead many followers to support Yun Zhonghe in establishing a separate empire, then he is not the ruling king, but the emperor of the empire, right?"

The dean of the First College said: "Yes, once a new empire is established, we will regard Yun Zhonghe as the emperor. He is the most direct heir of His Majesty Yan Xinzong, and it is natural for him to become the emperor."

……………………

Note: The goal is still to be in the top six in the category, and it’s a very hard job. If all of you have monthly votes, please give me a favor.

The pastry is infinitely grateful, and I kowtow to thank you!
