Chapter 786 Palace Drama
The second prince frowned. The ninth brother actually refused to give him face and interrupted him directly in front of all the ministers.
"Since the ninth brother is so anxious to leave, as the elder brother, I won't say more." The second prince's words were thorny.
Then, a highly respected veteran minister stood up. He could be said to have been with the emperor for the longest time and was also the veteran minister with the highest status. He had served two generations of emperors, and even the previous emperor was very respectful to him.
"The late emperor has passed away, and we feel deeply pained, but the Rota Empire still exists. A country cannot live without a king for a day. The ten princes here today are all the best candidates for the next throne." The veteran paused for a moment, then continued. Said: "First of all, please invite all the princes to come to the stage, tell them your advantages and goals of becoming emperor in the future, and let the ministers make their choices."
At this time, Su Chen was paying attention to the situation here. Seeing this pattern, he found it a bit interesting and wondered what fun tricks these princes would make.
What was a very serious matter in the eyes of countless people in Luota Star was just a show in Su Chen's eyes.
The first one to go up was naturally the second prince. As the longest among the ten princes, it was natural for him to go up.
"Ministers, I am the second prince of the Rota Empire. I believe that I have the ability to become the next emperor..."
It has to be said that the second prince's eloquence is pretty good, and some of the ministers below him nodded frequently, especially when he said that after he becomes the emperor, he will lead the Rota Empire to defeat the Red Alert Empire, and he will lead the expedition himself!
This point alone has been recognized by many militant factions.
When the second prince walked down, logically it should be the ninth prince, that is, when spy No. 13 went up, but prince No. 13 did not go up, but gave the opportunity to the prince behind him.
There was a hint of sneer on the second prince's face. In this case, the finale was the worst choice. Only the first one could take the lead!
After all, there are repetitions in speeches. The further you go, the less likely you are to impress the minister.
Since the ninth brother wanted to die on his own, as his good second brother, why couldn't he help him.
"Brother 48, Ninth Brother has said so, you go ahead."
The 48th prince was not modest and went up directly to start his speech. The speeches of the nine princes passed quickly and it was the turn of spy No. 13.
Everyone wants to see what speech the ninth prince will give.
He walked onto the stage and did not make any long speech. Instead, he said a few words and then came down, leaving many people stunned.
"I have nothing to say. Those who support me, you should know very well what I can bring to you and the empire. If you don't support me, you will have to figure it out yourself."
This is not a speech, this is a threat!
When Su Chen saw this, the corner of his mouth raised. He was indeed his spy. This way of not liking to be muddled was really his true legacy.
If the spy was not sure, how could he dare to say such a thing?
He was certain that other princes would never be able to offer him such good conditions. Even if there were some die-hard loyalists who would support the prince they chose, he would definitely have the most support in the end.
After the speech is over, the next step is the voting, which will decide who is the emperor of the Rota Empire!
Some ministers started talking.
"Minister of Foreign Affairs, are you voting for the second prince?" a minister asked.
"Your vote is for the 48th Prince. Don't try to hide it from me. You and the 48th Prince were drinking together last night." The Foreign Minister smiled.
Each minister was talking about the choices of other ministers. They knew each other so well that they could almost tell what they were farting from just by looking at them.
In this regard, among the ten princes, the second prince and the 48th prince were very confident. They felt that they were the next emperor.
After all, from all aspects before, only the two of them are qualified to compete for the throne, and everyone else has to stand aside.
When they voted, they gave the prince they supported a smile, making them even more proud.
Only the ninth prince seemed to have no one smiling at him, and was ridiculed by other princes.
After the voting ended, the veteran began to check the voting results. Even he could only announce the results one by one, according to the size of the princes. The first one was the 456th prince.
"The number of votes received by the 456th prince is..." At this point, he even gave up.
"1 vote!"
Hearing this number, some princes couldn't hold back their expressions and burst out laughing. The 456th prince's expression stiffened. He had clearly attracted at least five ministers. They were smiling at me when they voted just now. How could there be only one vote?
"Next is the 355th prince, the number of votes is..."
"1 vote!"
The face of the 355th prince was equally stiff. A few seconds ago, he was laughing at the 456th prince, but he didn't expect that he was the same. What's going on?
Even if his support rate is not as good as that of the second brother and the 48th brother, it is impossible for him to have only one vote!
From then on until the fourth prince from the bottom, the one with the highest number of votes was only 5, which was unbelievable.
You know, the number of ministers here is at least two hundred!
Next, the votes for the 48th prince were announced. His votes were 35!
This number is quite large, but for him, he is very dissatisfied. Didn't he get at least 80 votes? Why only 35 votes?
The old minister doesn't care about so many things. He is about to announce the votes for the next prince, the spy No. 13: "The votes for the ninth prince are..."
At this time, the second prince suddenly said: "Teacher, there is no need to announce the votes of the ninth brother, just announce mine. As long as my votes are more than the 48th, then the throne is mine. As for the ninth brother, he is Just watch from the side."
There was no expression on the old minister's face, but his eyes were a little strange: "Second Prince, are you sure?"
"Sure."
"Then His Highness the Ninth Prince..."
Before the old minister could finish speaking, Spy No. 13 waved his hand directly: "Since the second brother said so, just do what he said."
None of the parties involved had any objections, so the old minister began to announce the number of votes for the second prince. His number of votes was... 40 votes!
It looks like he has a few more votes than the 48th prince, which seems pretty good, but as I said before, the number of ministers exceeds two hundred.
The combined votes of their nine princes were less than one hundred, so what about the remaining one hundred votes?
Abstention is not allowed in this vote!
Everyone looked at the Ninth Prince in disbelief.
At this time, the old minister's voice sounded: "The number of votes for the Ninth Prince is... 129 votes!"
The entire hall was silent, and everyone's expressions were very wonderful, especially those of the princes, whose disbelief, envy, jealousy and other emotions were intertwined to form twisted faces.
