The lunch break was very long, and bored Chen An took Qianqiu for a walk.
"Brother, the Palace Master has an office, why does he want to live in the Star Tower?"
There is a huge palace at the core of the first circle, which is the core of power.
However, in reality, Jiang Li is used to living on the top floor of the Star Tower, which makes many people misunderstand the Star Tower as the core.
Chen An: "How should I know? I guess the Star Tower is safer!"
"No, Jiang Li is the strongest star ferryman in the Star Palace. He is not afraid of danger. I guess there may be something good in the Star Tower."
“Maybe!”
"Brother, if you become the palace master, such a beautiful palace must not be wasted."
If there weren't guards and watchtowers scattered throughout the palace, Qianqiu would probably have sneaked in.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Chen An returned to the seventh floor of the Star Tower.
There was a lot of noise inside, and the crowd was divided into two clear camps, with the neutrals being the most obvious.
The process is still presided over by Minister of Justice Rong Hang.
"There are 500 votes at the vice-minister level and 1,000 votes at the minister level. You cannot use your watches; you must go on stage and make your selections publicly. This process is absolutely fair, and everyone will supervise it together."
There are two screens on the stage, showing the real-time vote counts for Zhou Yao and Yu Hong respectively.
There is a console in front of the screen where you can operate, and ticket splitting is also possible.
Therefore, Rong Hang took the lead in making a statement and was the first to vote, casting 500 votes for each side.
As the notary public, Ronghang's vote was reasonable and no one questioned it.
Next, deputy ministers took turns to come on stage to vote.
The distinction between the camps is very clear, you go up and vote and then come down.
If there were a neutral party, most would split the votes like Ronghang did, so as not to offend either side.
The first round ended quickly, with the votes on both sides so close that it was unclear whether there would be a winner or loser.
"Ministers and ministerial-level officials are requested to vote in no particular order."
There are a total of 46 ministers and more than ten ministerial-level officials.
Chen An did not rush to vote, and finally cast his vote for Zhou Yao calmly.
When she saw Chu Xiao, her face was full of worry. Even though Yu Hong had the upper hand at the moment, she didn't feel happy at all.
When Chen An stepped down, Fuyao gave a sudden reminder.
[A large number of experts are gathering in Chaotian Wucheng, and the camps are clearly divided.]
"Our people should hide well and not be exposed."
Chen An also made arrangements, but not for fighting, but for other purposes.
After more than ten minutes, the votes on both sides were almost equal, with only a dozen neutrals left.
First, Jin Haoran from the Ministry of Finance voted, not to offend anyone, and each cast 500 votes.
Then it was Guo Yu's turn to vote. He voted all for Zhou Yao, which immediately caused a huge sensation.
"Why did he vote for Zhou Yao?" Yu Hong jumped up from his seat in fright, veins popping out on his forehead.
Both sides have made detailed analyses of the voting issue of neutral officials.
In the view of Yu Hong's analysis team, Guo Yu must have 500 votes from each side, because he is the captain of the Star Tower Guard and is more neutral than any neutral official.
But now, Guo Yu's one thousand votes were actually given to Zhou Yao.
On the other side, Zhou Yao was flattered and stood up to express his gratitude to Guo Yu.
"Thank you, Brother Guo, for your trust. If I become the Palace Master, I will definitely repay you handsomely."
The silent atmosphere at the scene became lively because Zhou Yao's votes had once again surpassed the others, although it was only by more than 300 votes.
If nothing unexpected happens to the neutral official behind him, Zhou Yao is almost certain to win.
However, an accident happened.
The neutral person who came to power was named Chu Yu, and he actually voted for Yu Hong.
Chen An was not familiar with this person, so Fuyao introduced him in real time.
Chu Yu, the Deputy Palace Master ten thousand years ago, was Jiang Li's former rival. Due to the huge difference in votes, he withdrew from the election at a crucial moment. As a result, he was treated favorably by Jiang Li and enjoyed the treatment of Deputy Palace Master for life.
Chu Yu retired a long time ago and does not usually participate in politics. This time, he should have split his vote instead of voting solely for Yu Hong.
It was because this person was so famous that the people at the scene were shocked.
Zhou Yao even reminded loudly: "Mr. Chu, please watch carefully and don't count too many votes when counting."
Chu Yu laughed happily and said, "The situation in Xinggong is becoming increasingly critical. No one knows how many crises there will be in the future. Choosing Yu Hong will be more conducive to the future development of Xinggong. I hope those who come after him will pay more attention."
Zhou Yao was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
As expected, the next seven or eight people split their votes so as not to offend anyone.
After these people finished voting, Yu Hong still had the advantage and the situation seemed to be settled.
Rong Hang reminded: "Brother Mu, now the only one missing is you."
Mu Lin then slowly stood up with a warm smile on his face, giving people a sense of gentleness from the inside out.
You can tell from the appearance of this kind of person that he is definitely a good person.
Yu Hong laughed heartily, and the people around him congratulated him, as if it was a done deal.
Zhou Yao was in great sorrow, with gloomy faces, thinking about what to do in the future.
If it weren't for Zhou Yao's deterrent power, many people might have changed sides immediately.
Mu Lin came on stage and did not rush to vote.
“Who at this scene doesn’t know Tianyuan?”
Everyone in Tianyuan knew about it, and people started to make a fuss immediately.
A minister on Yu Hong's side urged: "Vote quickly, don't delay any longer."
Mu Lin continued calmly, "Transcendents are unable to reproduce, wars are becoming more frequent, and all sorts of strange phenomena are occurring more frequently. What do these mean? They mean chaos is about to come, perhaps even a devastating disaster."
"The old Palace Master said long ago that the solution lies within the Abyss. And to enter the Abyss, one must rely on a mysterious interstellar train. This train appeared sixty years ago, and its current whereabouts are unknown."
