Just after the New Year, all officials and representatives of various provinces began to recommend them in Nanjing.

At this time, Gao Huan had left Xuanwu Lake and returned to the palace.

In the imperial study room, Gao Huan frowned as he looked at the list of participating in the political elections.

Gao Huan talked to Chen Zilong alone, hoping that he could wait for another term and clearly stated that he would not run for the election.

But Gao Huan didn't expect that Chen Zilong's name would still appear on the list of recommendations.

In the late Ming Dynasty, Chen Zilong was a talented man in Jiangnan and was very famous in Jiangnan. Now he is the leader of the Jiangnan clan. If he runs for the election, Du Yinxi is indeed under great pressure.

If Chen Zilong does not participate, the Jiangnan Group cannot recommend prestigious and capable people and cannot get the support of the centrists. There is no suspense about Du Yinxi's re-election, but Chen Zilong's election will be different.

Now that Chen Zilong is running for the election, it is very difficult for Gao Huan to suppress the bourgeoisie in Jiangnan.

At this time, Gao Huan frowned after reading the list. Although he could use the emperor's authority to get Chen Zilong out, this would destroy the political rules that had been operating for more than ten years.

Once the rules are broken, they will be broken again and again, which is extremely unfavorable to the stability of the government.

At this time, Gao Huan took the list and looked at today's newspapers again. Finally, he felt that he had been away for a long time and his ability to control the government and the opposition seemed to be inferior to before.

Gao Huan felt the challenges brought to him by the new bourgeoisie.

After the bourgeoisie grows, it will seize power and gain power. This is the general trend and it will be difficult to change. Otherwise, so many empires will not be either forced to establish a constitutional monarchy or overthrown to establish a bourgeois republic.

It is hard to imagine that a country with an absolute monarchy can stand firm in the future world.

The problem facing Gao Huan now is that if you continue to focus on business and develop the economy, the strength of the bourgeoisie will further grow and threaten his position.

If business is restricted, it will enter the cycle of history, and the entire society will never be able to complete its transformation.

...

The Chinese Alliance has two rounds of government-summit promotion system.

The first round is recommended by hundreds of officials, and there is no limit on the quota. As long as you get the recommendation from ten officials or local representatives, you can participate in the promotion.

In the first round of meeting, seven candidates will be selected from several candidates to discuss politics.

Then there will be a second round of promotion, which will rank the selected seven people. The one who can achieve the most is to lead the political affairs, that is, the Prime Minister of the Alliance.

Gao Huan did not interfere with Chen Zilong's election, nor did he talk to Chen Zilong again.

Just dawn in the morning, Gao Huan rode a carriage and went to the Gongshen Building under the strict protection of a hundred cavalrymen.

At this time, the carriage was driving on the road. Gao Huan lifted up the curtains and unexpectedly saw the Du Yinxi carriage parked on the roadside.

"Stop!" Gao Huan said casually: "Go, please come up with the Pavilion."

Soon, the car door was opened and Yinxi got on the carriage.

Gao Huan smiled and said, "It's so early for the Qing family! Since we meet, let's go to the primary election venue together."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go with me." Du Yinxi hesitated.

Du Yinxi hopes to get Gao Huan's support, but this is too obvious. Even if he is re-elected, he will be criticized by officials.

"Actually, it's nothing wrong. It's just a primary election, it doesn't matter!" Gao Huan insisted on Du Yinxi going with him.

When Du Yinxi saw Gao Huan's attitude, he knew that the emperor was determined to pay attention and wanted him to be re-elected. The five emotions in his heart became mixed.

On the one hand, he was happy, but on the other hand, he was worried that Gao Huan's move would destroy the political ecology of the court and the political rules that all officials reached.

"Okay! Since Your Majesty invites you, how can the old minister not receive good intentions?" said Du Yinxi.

"Sit down!" Gao Huan then stretched out his hand to signal.

Du Yinxi sat down in the carriage, and the convoy continued to move forward and headed towards the Political Bureau.

Inside the carriage, Gao Huan said: "Ge Lao Chen has also run for the election."

Du Yinxi nodded, "There are always people who want Chen Ge Lao. He has made great achievements in economic development, and it is also what everyone hopes for!"

Gao Huan nodded, but said, "It may not be what everyone wants. The most profitable economic development in Jiangnan is still a small number of gentry and merchants. They have money and resources, and their voices can be heard, while most people and workers are hard to hear! These people are the vast majority, and I think they are mostly supporting you. The responsibilities of the court and the government are to develop first, to improve the living standards of all people, rather than serving the few people who are already very rich, to make up for the shortcomings. I do not support Chen Ge Lao. The new class behind him will protect their interests, provide convenience for their development, and even provide support, but they will never be allowed to touch politics, try to influence the court's policies, or even control the court!"

Since the establishment of the Council and the promotion system appeared, Gao Huan has never stood so clearly and supported whom he clearly stood.

Du Yinxi knew that he could not lose this time, otherwise it would be a bloody storm.

If he wins, then His Majesty the Emperor will definitely follow the steps. If he loses, His Majesty the Emperor may not agree with the result of being pushed, which will turn against the bureaucratic group and lead to domestic political turmoil.

At this moment, Du Yinxi was no longer worried. The officials' criticisms were talked with Gao Huan all the way and arrived at the Political Affairs Building.

At this time, the carriage slowly stopped, and the officials and representatives from various provinces who came to participate in the promotion had arrived.

The Order Building is a six-story masonry building built by the Alliance in five years.

In the main hall on the first floor, officials and candidates sat in the hall whispered, talking about things that would be pushed.

At this time, a guard shouted: "Your Majesty is here!"

The hall suddenly became quiet, and more than a dozen guards with waist-mounted pistols walked in surrounded by Gao Huan. Everyone immediately stood up to welcome the emperor into the room.

Many people who have participated in the push-up several times couldn't help but frown when they saw this scene. After the emperor came back, the security work was significantly strengthened.

At this time, everyone watched Gao Huan walk into the venue and found that Du Yinxi and the emperor entered. The officials and representatives attending the meeting were a little surprised, but everyone was in high positions, and even if they had doubts in their hearts, they would not show it on their faces.

Gao Huan sat down in everyone's attention, then waved his hand, "Sit down!"

The process of the primary election is very simple. The candidates, who state their declarations, and then the people present voted, and the seven people who received the most votes entered the next round to compete for the position of prime minister.

The meeting was chaired by a minister of the Ministry of Rites. After asking Gao Huan for instructions, he said solemnly: "Today is the primary election for this political change. I believe all the candidates are ready, so according to the old rules, everyone will speak in turn!"

(These days are not stable, I hope everyone understands and wish you a happy New Year and a happy Year of the Tiger.)
