What kind of profession do I want to create? A profession with infinite possibilities. The name of this profession... well, after breaking through to a 'Wushi', let's traditionally call...
"A seven-member management team?! These seven people should be the actual controllers of the council, right?"
"Seven people? How is that possible? In reality, it's just the head of the Jin family! No matter how things change, the essence remains the same! The Jin family is temporarily acting as the lord, exercising power. It's just a nice way of saying it."
"I'm quite impressed by Patriarch Jin. He's a master at using the strategy of 'taking advantage of the situation'!"
"Who do you think these seven members of the management team are?"
"Four captains, Master Jin, that's five spots left. The other two spots will never be yours or mine."
The people below were whispering, but Father Jin didn't stop them. He waited for a quarter of an hour before asking, "How did the discussion go?"
"agree!"
The nobles nodded in agreement. No one objected.
Wu Zheng was completely convinced! This Jin guy was truly amazing! He had mastered the art of leveraging power. Not only was borrowing the power of three war lieutenants not enough, he also wanted to leverage the power of all the nobles, even the power of all the subjects.
This parliamentary system is really interesting! It's hard for Mr. Jin to dig it out from historical legends.
Wu Zheng, who had just gained some experience in conspiracy, was truly impressed by Father Jin!
"Okay, since everyone agrees, then this proposal is passed. As for the selection of the management team, it will be temporarily formed first, and then formally elected from among the members after the parliament is officially established."
"I propose that Jin Chen, Ruan Qi, Fang Yuan, Wu Hong, Gu Xing (the head of the Secret Guard), this old man (one of the three kneeling citizens), and I form a temporary management team."
The head of the Jin family pointed at the old man who was kneeling on the ground and said.
The nobles were shocked by Father Jin's brilliant move.
"Master Jin is truly meticulous in his work. He even has to cram a pariah into the management team to demonstrate the fairness and justice of the council."
“It’s the temporary management team.”
"Temporary? Believe it or not, when the formal parliament comes, all of them will probably become official."
"But you can't deny that Patriarch Jin is very thoughtful. Look, there are three members involved: one of the Wu brothers, the head of the Gu clan, and representatives of the people. Tsk tsk... He's won over all the biggest forces. And he's also taken into account the interests of all the people. He's truly impressive!"
"Hmph, yes, even the untouchables are taken into consideration, so what about us? What about us neutral nobles? Don't we need representatives to join the management team?" said a neutral noble angrily.
"Haha...we, we are indeed the least important. It's normal that Master Jin doesn't care about us." A neutral noble said with a self-deprecating laugh.
Wu Zheng also had some guesses about this. Sure enough, Wu Hong and other four captains entered the management team. There must be someone with the surname Jin. As for the remaining two places, Wu Zheng thought they would be represented by the Gu family and neutral nobles. However, he did not expect that the one with the surname Jin would directly skip the neutral nobles and choose the people.
The Gu family must have it. Since they chose to let the other party go, they will definitely appease them to reassure them. The Gu family also has this qualification. Even if it has declined and become a noble, it is still a very powerful noble.
However, why did the Jin family choose to be a neutral noble instead of a subject? This made him a little puzzled.
But on second thought, he understood what was going on. The people had just been making a fuss and needed to be appeased. At the same time, it was also to demonstrate the fairness of the parliament.
As for the neutral nobles, they really couldn't make a decision. One reason was that they had already been given a lot of power. They would be a large number of members of the parliament. Another reason was that they had no leader, and it was unclear who would be chosen to join the management team.
At the same time, it also gave them hope. The management team members were elected by the parliament members. If it doesn’t work this time, there will be next time. They still have hope.
Neutral nobles, when they chose to remain neutral, they had actually given up the possibility of gaining the greatest benefit!
They don't have the same strength as their two brothers.
Moreover, nobles have many things, and they won't cause trouble like the common people. Therefore, there's no need to treat them too favorably.
The management team consists of seven people, four of whom are from the Jin family. No matter the form, in the end, the Jin family still has the final say in this council.
The old man kneeling on the ground looked at all this with a bewildered expression. He didn't understand the twists and turns here.
However, I also understood that he seemed to have changed all of a sudden. After Master Jin pointed his finger.
The middle-aged man and the scarred young man looked at the old man with envy.
How lucky!
The three of them had come here with the intention of dying, but unexpectedly, they were involved in such a major event of changing dynasties.
Moreover, they all became temporary members of parliament, and the elders became members of the management team.
They knelt there dizzy, feeling like they were dreaming.
The old man saw that everyone was focusing their attention on him, and he was so frightened that he quickly said, "Masters and lords, I am an old man. I don't know anything and I can't be a master!"
Father Jin smiled kindly and said, "It's okay. No one knows how to do it right from the start. If you don't understand something, you can learn it slowly. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me directly. I will definitely teach you well."
The old man was speechless, not knowing how to refute, so he just acquiesced.
Wu Zheng looked at them and laughed. No, it wasn't four, it was five, including this old man.
It turns out that he has the final say in this parliament!
However, this is normal. Even if the Jin family wanted to become the lord and establish a shogunate system, I believe no one would object. Moreover, what about a parliamentary system that benefits everyone?
Some of the neutral nobles began to whisper again.
"This pariah is really clueless. He actually gave away the power he had obtained. How foolish!"
"Without strength, one naturally cannot possess much power. Gu Yan's example is a recent example. I think this old man is quite self-aware."
"Does what Patriarch Jin said just now mean that from now on, the old man must ask for his opinion on any decision he makes?"
"I heard that too. It's truly shameless to allow others to be your puppets so openly in front of so many people in this hall."
"Master Jin has the power to do whatever he wants. What can you do?"
"I, I am ashamed to be associated with them."
"Haha, then don't be a member of parliament."
"How can these be confused? These are two separate issues!"
"Shameless!"
"you……"
Wu Zheng, who was paying attention to the neutral nobles, was really intoxicated as he watched and listened to their conversation.
These neutral nobles are indeed the kind of people who can never accomplish anything!
The nobles had long been accustomed to the rules of the game in this world where the strong were respected. Without the necessary strength, they would not rebel unless they were given a way to survive.
