Father, I am back to fight!

Chapter 214

Chapter 214

"Your Majesty! His Royal Highness is right. This way, it will definitely save a lot of money compared to hiring a single noble family to do it!"

Minister of Revenue Li Wei said hurriedly.

He was just worried that a noble family would be wiped out, but now that he had a chance to turn the situation around, he had to give his full support.

Shangguan Xiong looked at Li Wei angrily. What happened to this bastard today? Why did he always go against him?

"Your Majesty! We also think that the Crown Prince's proposal is excellent!"

Civil and military officials all seconded the proposal.

Shangguan Xiong was stunned. So many officials supported Qin Yu's proposal. What did it mean? Were these people going to betray him?

"Since all officials have no objection, then let's follow the Crown Prince's instructions and place the official road engineering planning department in the border area, with the Crown Prince overseeing the overall planning!"

Emperor Liang said in a deep voice.

Then, he looked at Shangguan Xiong and said, "Shangguan Xiong, you just lost the bet with the Crown Prince. Do you think the Prime Minister system is still necessary?"

After Emperor Liang finished speaking, Qin Yu also looked at Shangguan Xiong, raised the sleeve of his right hand slightly, and pointed it at Shangguan Xiong's head.

Shangguan Xiong's heart tightened instantly. What did it mean? If he dared to say that he did not support the abolition of the prime minister system, would Qin Yu immediately shoot him to death with his hidden arrow?

"Your Majesty! I have indeed lost the bet with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Therefore, I accept the loss and support the abolition of the prime minister system. I also fully support the cabinet system!"

Shangguan Xiong finished speaking, glanced at the officials present, and then said, "But if all the civil and military officials in the court refuse, then I will have no choice."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Wei immediately said, "Your Majesty! I absolutely support the Prime Minister's proposal to abolish the Prime Minister system and promote a cabinet system!"

"Your Majesty! We also fully support you!"

Civil and military officials all spoke out.

Chen Zhong said, "Your Majesty! Since all civil and military officials support this, a cabinet system is inevitable. Why not strike while the iron is hot and elect the three cabinet elders today?"

Shangguan Xiong's face turned ashen. If he could not become the prime minister, the interests of all the civil and military officials in the court would be damaged. He thought these people would help him with all their strength, but who knew that they would actually turn against him!

Looking at the current situation, he will definitely lose his position as prime minister. However, he must strive for a cabinet seat, otherwise, it will be a disaster for the Shangguan family!

"Your Majesty! I would like to nominate Chen Zhong as one of the three elders of the cabinet!"

Shangguan Xiong said in a deep voice.

Ah!

Everyone was stunned. They obviously didn't expect Shangguan Xiong to take the initiative to nominate Chen Zhong as a member of the cabinet. Chen Zhong also looked at Shangguan Xiong in shock. Could this old man be so kind?

Shangguan Xiong then added, "Your Highness the Crown Prince's suggestion was very good. The cabinet members should be nominated by the military officers, and Chen Zhong is naturally the right person to take the position!"

"As a civil servant, I would like to recommend myself and hope Your Majesty will allow me to become a cabinet official!"

snort!

After hearing what Shangguan Xiong said, Chen Zhong guessed Shangguan Xiong's intention. He was actively recommending him and making him feel embarrassed to oppose him.

Qin Yu smiled coldly. As Shangguan Xiong was the former prime minister, he must have the position of chief minister of the cabinet. Therefore, there was no need to go against Shangguan Xiong on this matter.

"Okay then! Shangguan Xiong will be the chief minister for civil affairs, and Chen Zhong will be the chief minister for military affairs. As for the third person..."

Emperor Liang fell into deep thought.

The third person should have been appointed by him, but at the moment, he really didn't have a suitable candidate.

"Father! The third person must naturally be a talented person, selected from the people. Only those who come from humble backgrounds can understand the suffering of the people like I do!"
