When the eldest prince saw that the military department had also sent someone, he couldn't help but get nervous, looked at me, and exchanged glances with me.

I knew the news from Xu Qiang before, but it was not convenient to report it to the eldest prince.

I can understand the nervousness of the eldest prince.

I'm the same, the arrival of the people from the military department makes us more risky, and if we don't do it well, we will die without a place to bury.

Long Ju was not affected much, he had already made up his mind to die, and the military department sent someone to die at best.

The Empress immediately greeted Shousuke, said some polite words, and then entered the ancestral hall with the cabinet ministers.

The men of the army did not enter the ancestral hall, but quickly dispersed and stood guard around the ancestral hall.

Including the north gate, where I deliberately relaxed, it has also become extremely strict because of the interference of people from the military department.

The entire ancestral hall quickly became impregnable, and it was impossible for anyone to try to get out without permission.

After the arrival of the first assistant and cabinet ministers, the voting process began one after another.

At twelve o'clock at noon, all the work was ready, and the queen asked Shoufu to preside over the voting meeting, but Shoufu politely refused, and finally decided that Murong Hao and Shoufu would jointly preside over the voting meeting.

After deciding on the moderator, the voting meeting was officially convened.

Shoufu and Murong Hao walked out of the main hall together, and delivered a speech in public, first reading out the situation of the three princes being deprived of the power of candidates, but did not announce the detailed reasons, only vaguely said that the three princes were disqualified because they violated some principles, and there are only two candidates today, one is the eldest prince and the other is the third prince.

Hearing the official announcement of the disqualification of the three princes, there was another commotion at the scene, and many people were discussing in private the reasons for the disqualification of the three princes, and some simply linked the disqualification of the three princes with the gunshots they heard yesterday.

After the official announcement of the start of voting, the most tense moment came.

Although we have made two preparations, we still hope that the eldest prince can win the election in a fair and bright way, so that there is no need to take assassination actions and avoid risks.

Murong Siqi was full of confidence, but the results had not yet come out, and a smile was already on his face.

Zhu Shangrong whispered: "Four princes, I walked around just now, and I heard voices supporting the four princes everywhere, the four princes will definitely win today, and they will have to change their words in the future." ”

Murong Siqi was proud, but he said: "Before the official results are released, everyone must not scream, so as not to let people gossip." After speaking, he squatted for a while, and continued: "Shang Rong, the good thing between you and Ziyan is also close, you must remember to invite me when the time comes." ”

Zhu Shangrong said with a smile: "The fourth prince Xie is concerned, and he will definitely invite the fourth prince when the time comes." ”

The fourth prince laughed, extremely proud.

The expression on Murong Ziyan's face was extremely strange.

In this marriage, she doesn't have any right to call the shots at all, and it is completely arranged.

One by one, the members of the Murong clan walked to the front and threw their ballots into the ballot box in front of them.

Because there are two ballot boxes set up this time, the ballot box on the left for the eldest prince and the ballot box on the right for the fourth prince, although the final result has not yet come out, the general trend can still be seen.

Sure enough, as we expected, the support rate of the four princes was significantly higher than that of the eldest prince, and the people who voted for the four princes accounted for the majority, and after only a while, there were about twice as many as the eldest prince.

The eldest prince gritted his teeth, and his face was ugly.

He also wanted to gain the support of the majority of the people and be elected justifiably, but the reality backfired.

The eldest princess whispered: "If this trend continues, the eldest prince may have to lose." ”

The eldest prince was already in an unhappy mood, and when he heard the words of the eldest princess who was frustrated, he was even more displeased, and turned his head back and glared at the eldest princess, who immediately lowered her head and didn't dare to say a word.

Although Xiao Lao was also there, when he saw this, he could only smile and say, "The final result hasn't come out yet, don't be too discouraged." ”

The eldest prince looked at me and had high expectations for me.

His hope for a comeback in the end is in me, and whether the dragon horse can succeed has become the key to the key.

I couldn't help but glance at the dragon foal.

The dragon foal was mixed in with the guards, and he didn't see anything out of the ordinary, but I knew he was ready to do it.

Because of the large number of people, it took a full two hours to vote.

By the end of the last vote, the result has been decided.

However, for the sake of fairness and to prevent anyone from questioning the results, Shoufu and Murong Hao still stepped forward to announce that they would enter the vote counting link below, and some people would come forward to count the votes at the moment.

In the process of counting the votes, the clansmen of the Murong clan at the scene discussed again.

"Looking at the number of votes in the two ballot boxes, it can already be concluded that the four princes are going to be elected."

"The election of the four princes is what everyone expects, and I have long said that the four princes will definitely become the new emperor."

"With the leadership of the four princes, Dayan will definitely be more prosperous."

"The eldest prince is actually not bad, but his life style is not very decent."

"I heard that the eldest prince had affairs with many women, and he once had conflicts with people because of this."

"Hey! You can't live if you do your own evil! ”

In fact, many rumors about the eldest prince are unfounded, but if outsiders don't know the inside story, they can't help but spread false rumors, and if it's not a fact, it will become a fact.

Previously, the four princes also deliberately let people spread similar news in response to the problem of the eldest prince, which greatly affected the reputation of the eldest prince.

The four princes have seen the disparity in the approximate number of votes, and they are already uncontrollably proud.

The queen whispered to the four princes: "Siqi, it seems that everyone supports you very much, if you are elected, you will have to learn from your father in the future." ”

The fourth prince said respectfully: "Queen Mother, I will definitely do it, if I am elected, I promise that I will never disappoint the Queen Mother." ”

At this time, the first round of vote counting has ended, and the votes of both sides are released, but in order to prevent errors, the tellers will exchange and count the votes again, and the results will not be announced until the results of the two rounds of vote counting are consistent.

It was a long process, and we waited very anxiously.

Murong Siqi naturally couldn't wait, eager for Shoufu to announce in public that he would become the heir to the throne.

After the second round of vote counting, which lasted for an hour, the results of the personnel statistics of the two sides were reported, which were confirmed by Shoufu and Murong Hao, and the final results of the two times were the same, and the vote count was over.

Murong Hao said modestly, "Lord Shoufu, it's up to you to announce the results." ”

Shousuke also backed down, and in the end, it was Shousuke who announced it.

Shousuke took the statistical results, strode forward, cleared his throat, looked around, and said loudly, "Everyone, be quiet!" ”

Hearing Shousuke's words, the noisy scene fell silent and silent.

Everyone's nerves were tense, and the air seemed to condense at this moment.

Countless eyes were focused on Shousuke.

Murong Siqi showed an excited expression, and the impatience could not be described in words.

Shousuke immediately said loudly: "This vote was held under the premise of fairness and impartiality, all votes were not interfered with by any factors, and every vote was true and valid." In the counting process, we did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, so two rounds of vote counting were carried out, and the results of the two rounds of vote counting were the same before it officially took effect. Now that the result is in my hands, everyone must be very concerned about the final result. ”

Shousuke also deliberately sold the guanzi at this time, which whetted the appetite of everyone at the scene.

Someone couldn't stop shouting, "Announce the results." ”

Shoufu said with a smile: "Okay, I now announce that after voting, at this voting meeting, the eldest prince Murong Feng received a total of 1,688 votes, and the fourth prince Murong Siqi won the ......" paused again, and announced in a louder voice: "Two thousand nine hundred and ten votes, the fourth prince Murong Siqi won and officially became the heir to the throne, and he will inherit the throne on a later date!" ”

Hearing the results announced by Shousuke, the scene was boiling, as if a pot had exploded.

Those who supported Murong Siqi cheered, but those who supported the eldest prince became depressed.

The eldest prince's fist clenched, and the joints of his fists clicked.

This result was not only a defeat in the election for him, but also a humiliation.

He is not as good as the fourth prince Murong Siqi?

He was very unwilling and dissatisfied!

Invisibly, his eyes also revealed murderous intentions.

He will not admit this result, he will do everything to overturn it!
