It was the first time Wren had come to the Imperial Diet to observe the whole voting process, and he found it a little strange, a little funny, and more solemn. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe uncertainty of this method of voting is far more frantic than a one-time outcome, and any potential enemy will suddenly surface at this moment, and some of the neutrals that were originally negotiated may also join the opposing side. While there may be new supporters, the changes are so complex that no one dares to take them lightly.

Outside the Reichstag building, people will never feel the tense and treacherous atmosphere of this hall!

Probably to take care of Wren's first visit, Empress Pars sat beside him and explained to him, "The current three speakers are Isaac, Pilagos and Gampon, and Nengalel is a rising star, so he is not mixed up in the position of one speaker." The Speaker of the House of Representatives is personally appointed by the previous Speaker of the House of Representatives, which can be regarded as a hereditary system. In Parliament, as long as three speakers vote against at the same time, they can increase their voting rights by one round, and the number of votes is up to seven, and it is rare for such a long vote to occur. ”

Empress Pars pressed Wren's shoulder on the shoulder, and the two sat very closely, looking very intimate, which made some of the nobles sitting behind him a little surprised. This surprise is a very subjective emotion, perhaps they think that there is something between Empress Pars and Wren, and some people think that it is a symbol of the unity of the golden aristocracy. Only a few of them looked pensive, and it was clear that they didn't think the same way as the others.

Empress Pars snorted, Wren looked at the situation, Nengalel sat bored in the first row, surrounded by at least a dozen councillors, all of whom had straight faces, and looked at the other nobles in the hall from time to time.

"Nengalael wants to nominate a speaker, but the parliamentary system was established during Orlando II, and no one can give him a speaker's seat. He wants the Imperial Diet to be restructured more than anyone else......", Empress Pars lowered her voice, which was only clear to Wren, "I have already had a private meeting with him, and if the parliament is restructured, we will support him in his nomination and candidacy for Speaker." ”

In addition to the 500 ordinary voting seats, the three speakers will also be expanded to five seats. One of the two extra Speaker seats has already been booked by Nungalel. Among the leaders of the three aristocratic groups, only Nengalel was a member of the parliament, and the status of Isaac and Pilagos as speakers made him feel inferior to these two, which also caused the Northwest and Southwest nobles to look down on the emerging coastal powers.

There will always be contradictions of one kind or another between the nobles, and on the surface, there is no contradiction between the leaders of the three noble groups, but secretly Nongalaire is one of the people who wants to overthrow the other two guys the most. Only then will he have a chance to wrest a Speaker's seat from them.

Fortunately, the reform of the Imperial Parliament gave him hope, and he did not hesitate to side with Pars, and the big pie of the Speaker was more attractive than anything else.

Pilagos, one of the other two main characters, and a group of people stood in a corner of the venue, surrounded by them, and as he was saying something, the nobles around him nodded. As if sensing that someone was spying on him, he looked up and swept the entire room, and at a glance saw Wren watching him from the spectators. He grinned, nodded, and waved at Wren. Wren had to return the salute as a sign of respect.

"Pilagos was not very interested in a parliamentary reform, and it was one of the biggest variables in this vote. Empress Pars put her hands facing each other, and her fingers were clasped together, and she wanted to show the dignity and majesty of an empress in such a public occasion. "Of the one hundred and eight seats in the Imperial Diet now, almost forty of them are in favor of Piragos, and he is already in the driver's seat, and the parliamentary reform will not give him more advantages, but will only pull him to the same starting line as us. Don't look at the joy of his nod in Congress, in fact, his heart is extremely dirty, and this time he is the one who is most likely to influence the vote. ”

Empress Pars then briefed Wren almost the vast majority of the councillors, during which time Gampin rang the golden bell and the second round of voting began.

The parliamentarians all returned to their seats, and the whole room was silent, and everyone had a straight face, and there was not a single superfluous expression on their serious faces. Only in their eyes can they see some strange luster.

"......The second vote on the plan to revise the system of the Imperial Diet has begun," said Gan Wen, who read out the contents of the vote and then began to roll the vote.

There is no secret ballot, and members of parliament are required to stand up and say yes or no, according to the roll call of the staff on one side. The final number of votes is recorded and counted to arrive at an exact result.

"Count of Twright......"

"Agreed!"

"Baron Luenna......"

"Agreed!"

"Baron Oset......"

"Against!"

The simple process made people involuntarily nervous, and the Empress of Pars pursed her lips tightly, her eyes firmly fixed on Isaac and Pilagos on the stage. Compared to Pilagos's unequivocal opposition, Isaac's attitude was somewhat unpredictable. Half of his legislators voted against and the average voted yes, as if he was maintaining a relatively balanced situation.

This involves disputes and fornication of interests, and the first round of voting can only be regarded as a tentative vote, and those who have interests stand up at this time and tell others that I can be traded. By the time of the break, there had been a lot of unseen transactions. It could be a very direct face-to-face communication, or it could be a movement or even a look.

The second round of voting apparently did not meet the expectations of the Empress Pars, and the adoption of the plan was rejected in the second round by a vote of 61 votes against.

The number of votes was delicate, half of them only had 54 votes, which means that there were seven more votes against, but compared to the first round, nearly 30 people changed their minds, from the side for and the side for to the side against.

Empress Pars's brows furrowed together, and the situation was not unexpected. Some people can be for or against, they are not for any ideals and ambitions, nor for any firm idea, but purely for the maximum extent to grab more benefits. Going from one side to the other determines their "tradability" in itself, and this round of voting can only be seen as the first round of betting.

After the final votes were read, Gan Wen rang the bell twice, and the second round of hiatus began.

Gampon collected the sheets scattered on the table recording the entire voting process, and left the speaker's seat and walked to the side of Queen Pars. He glanced at Wren, nodded, and walked with Empress Pars to a corner where no one was around. Wren saw two forms in his hand, both of which were lists of one hundred and eight councillors, some of which were marked with markings indicating that they had changed their positions.

After a moment of whispered exchange between the two, Gavin immediately walked over to the three nearest councillors. According to Empress Pars, these three councillors did not belong to either side, but were representatives of the wall-riding faction. These people can be won over, although they are not so loyal to the royal family, but on the basis of benefits, they will definitely not be swayed by their own feelings.

After less than three minutes of talking to the three men, Gavin nodded, stood up with a smile on his face, and walked over to the other two councillors.

This naked act of "buying votes" really opened Wren's eyes, he had long known that the absurdity of the Imperial Diet was beyond the sky, but he didn't expect that all transactions and compromises would be in such a public view!

The bills and policies voted on in this way only make people feel indescribably funny.

The three lawmakers with whom Gan Wen first came into contact then ushered in two rounds of deals, and they sat together and began a slightly heated discussion, and it was clear that the price offered to them by the three forces was not very different, and it was difficult to make a decision.

The whole room was full of whispering sounds, like rats grinding their teeth in those rat holes in the middle of the night, making noises that were not too strong but enough to be irritating. The eyes of these people were constantly communicating in the air, and their hands were gesturing with secrets that only they knew. The scene here suddenly reminded Wren of the vast trading markets on Earth. People are fighting under a clearly priced number plate.

It's just that people in the market trade money and goods, and here they trade interests and loyalty.

Loyal?

It's only temporary, and when someone comes up with a higher price, they become disloyal!

Soon, the second round of recess ended, and Gan Wen returned to the podium and rang the golden bell.

The third round of voting began.

Good things often have twists and turns, and this time the pro-vote led by a narrow margin, only three more votes than the opposition. In the absence of a landslide victory, a fourth round of voting will be automatically opened.

This time, the Empress of Pars herself is gone!

The outlook turned out to be different from what had been planned, and the Empress of Pars had to make deals with some people herself in order to pass the plan. As the emperor of the empire, her identity and status are supreme, and she is congenitally overpowered. At the same time, she was the object of verbal allegiance of all the nobles, and the effect of her personal canvassing was much higher than that of Ganwen's canvassing.
