At nine o'clock in the evening, after eating a working meal sent by the staff, the meeting that had been adjourned for nearly four hours continued.
The original council meeting turned into a meeting attended by all members. All members, including several feudal officials in special provinces, rushed to Youzhou as soon as possible after receiving the notice. One of them even gave up.
A meeting of parliamentarians was originally being held in his own province.
In addition, two special figures were also invited to participate in this meeting.
Candidate for the first mayor of Tiannan.
Wang Jingxin.
Qi Mulin.
When he saw these two candidates arriving, Ning Zhiyuan snorted unabashedly, his anger almost uncontrollable.
In Zhongzhou's heart, these two were the best candidates for Tiannan's first mayor. But when Li Tianlan proposed establishing Xuanyuan City, he recommended Ning Qiancheng.
No matter what, Ning Qiancheng should be one of the candidates, and this was nominated by Li Tianlan himself. Even if Zhongzhou disagreed, he should still call the person. This is the most basic respect and basic procedure.
However, both Chen Fangqing and Li Huacheng are determined not to give Li Tianlan this face. Ning Qiancheng's issue is not mentioned at all. As the vote is about to proceed, Qi Mulin and Wang Jingxin, one of these two people will definitely become Xuanyuan.
The city's first mayor.
In the solemn and solemn conference room, the members took their seats one by one.
Li Tianlan sat in the last position. When Zhongzhou did not approve his resignation, he was still the marshal of the Zhongzhou Special Warfare System and a member of the parliamentary level. However, because of his age, his position was very low.
This time Gu Xingyun did not sit next to Li Tianlan. Next to Li Tianlan was Wu Zhengmin, the deputy prime minister of Zhongzhou who has not been co-opted as a member of Zhongzhou even though he has entered the cabinet.
There is no doubt that the relationship between Wu Zhengmin and Li Tianlan is closer than the academic group, or even the wealthy group. Li Tianlan's own group is still a mirror image, but if this somewhat illusory group is really brought forward now,
Wu Zhengmin is the well-deserved leader of the Li Group, but what is a bit embarrassing is that in the overall situation, only Wu Zhengmin can really play a role.
A group of one person inevitably sounds a bit shabby.
Sitting next to Li Tianlan, Wu Zhengmin glanced at Li Tianlan calmly and hesitated.
Li Tianlan looked calm, smiled and shook his head.
In this meeting, he and Wu Zhengmin had the right to speak at the parliamentary level, but they did not have the right to vote. Although Wu Zhengmin will officially enter the Central Continent Parliament in a few months, he currently does not have the power to make decisions. This is
Rules cannot be broken.
So today they are sitting here just to watch the excitement, even though Li Tianlan is the core party involved.
Dongcheng Wudi was inevitably more dignified. When the meeting was adjourned, he had an in-depth exchange of opinions with Wan Qingyun and Ji Wenwen. Although both parties knew that the cooperation between the two parties was probably just for this meeting. After the meeting, they would part ways immediately, and they might even become mortal enemies.
At this critical moment, it is necessary to strengthen the temporary alliance between the two parties.
Dongcheng Wudi is very aware of Li Tianlan's plan.
The first mayor of Xuanyuan City, Li Tianlan's first nomination in Zhongzhou, must be Ning Qiancheng, not anyone else.
This is related to the future of Tiannan and the prospects of the Li Group, as well as Li Tianlan's personal prestige.
Li Tianlan makes progress but never retreats.
Therefore, no matter whether Wang Jingxin or Qi Mulin is elected today, Li Tianlan will definitely take action in the most direct and forceful way.
Li Tianlan is mentally prepared to completely fall out with Kunlun City or Beihai Wang Family. He is fearless, and when there is no way to retreat, he can be said to be truly unscrupulous.
But Dongcheng Wudi is different.
It is impossible for him to give up Li Tianlan, which means that if Qi Mulin is elected, they will form a deadly feud with Qi Beicang and the entire special operations group. If Wang Jingxin is elected, they will fight to the death with the Wang family of Beihai.
.
Compared to the Beihai Wang Family and the Southeast Group, it is undoubtedly Dongcheng who has offended a special warfare group that has just emerged and has a slightly inferior background.
The situation that Invincible most wants to see.
Although this means that after Qi Mulin is elected, Dongcheng Wudi will be under more pressure from the military in the future.
Dongcheng Wudi looked at Li Tianlan with gentle eyes.
Qi Beicang was the previous standing minister of the Central Continent Military Department. He had been in the military department for many years. Even if he retired, his influence was still deep-rooted. If he offended Qi Beicang at this time, the situation of the military department would be more complicated. However, compared with offending the Wang family of Beihai,
This is the best result, and Li Tianlan is still too young after all. Dongcheng Wudi is willing to help Li Tianlan bear more pressure.
He should do this for both public and private reasons.
His eyes swept across the audience, briefly stopping at the congressmen who belonged to the wealthy group, and then fell on Zou Mulin.
Everyone's expressions were calm and determined.
Dongcheng Wudi took a deep breath and waited for the meeting to continue.
The meeting lasted for the thirteenth hour.
9:15 pm.
The news that Li Tianlan was about to establish Xuanyuan City had already spread throughout Central Continent and even the entire Dark World because of the adjournment.
While the whole world is paying attention to Tiannan, the whole world is also paying attention to the outcome of the meeting in Zhongzhou.
Facing Li Tianlan's increasingly sharp gaze, Li Huacheng's loud and steady voice spread throughout the audience.
Simply, directly, without any detours.
"Everyone, the reason for urgently convening this plenary meeting of the parliament should be clear to everyone. Marshal Li Tianlan has officially defeated the Burning Legion and recaptured Tunan City. Zhongzhou has decided to establish Xuanyuan in Tiannan based on Tunan City.
If nothing unexpected happens, Xuanyuan City will be the capital of the entire Tiannan Province in the future."
His eyes looked around the audience, with a very obvious coercion in his gentleness: "The reason for convening this meeting is to discuss personnel issues in Xuanyuan City. Currently we have two candidates, Lin'an
Speaker Wang Jingxin, and Deputy Minister of Security Qi Mulin. Regarding these two comrades, I personally prefer Comrade Wang Jingxin. If you have any ideas, please tell me."
Everyone narrowed their eyes at the same time.
Li Huacheng's attitude was extremely determined.
This was obviously Chen Fangqing's suggestion, but at the beginning, Li Huacheng first expressed his preference. He is the president of Zhongzhou. His attitude can undoubtedly put great pressure on others, and his attitude also fully shows that in the
In this meeting, the Prince Group and the academic faction have joined forces on this personnel issue.
"I think Comrade Qi Mulin is more suitable. Comrade Qi Mulin's performance in the Ministry of Security is obvious to all, and the nature of his work is more suitable for the more sensitive and complex situation in Tiannan."
Ye Dongsheng, deputy minister of the military, chief of general staff and known as the God of the Army, was the first to express his opinion without any hesitation. As one of the leaders of the Southeast Group, he could not be worried about Li Huacheng in this matter.
Li Tianlan can be unscrupulous, because he can be regarded as having nothing now, and the East Palace has just taken shape after all.
But the Beihai Wang family cannot do that. At this stage, the Beihai Wang family does not want to have any conflict with Li Tianlan for the time being.
"Yes, Comrade Qi Mulin is more suitable. As for Comrade Wang Jingxin, he is very good in Lin'an. Recently, Lin'an's plan to apply for the World Expo has been sent to the cabinet and the procedures have been started. Changing people at this time will have a bad impact."
Tong Xiaoshan, the second prime minister of the cabinet, said calmly that as the Southeast Group's only force in the cabinet, he must make his attitude clear.
"I have learned about Lin'an's application to host the World Expo. There are no problems with the procedure. It is just a formality and the impact will not be great. Comrade Wang Jingxin is a steady person. I think it is more appropriate for him to go to Tiannan."
A loud voice rang out after Tong Xiaoshan. The speaker was He Nanfang, Speaker of Zhongzhou Nanyue, one of the leaders of the Prince Group.
"I support Comrade Qi Mulin."
The speaker of Beihai Province spoke calmly, without any reason, but his attitude was extremely clear.
"Comrade Qi Mulin is indeed more suitable."
Youzhou Speaker Bai Zhanfang said calmly.
"I can't say that. With Comrade Wang Jingxin's ability, I think he is very suitable for the post.
Mayor of Xuanyuan City, as for experience, Comrade Wang Jingxin is still young and can be trained. Besides, Tiannan has His Highness Li Tianlan looking after him, so even if Comrade Wang Jingxin makes mistakes, there will be no problems."
Zhong Yongming, the chairman of Huating, said with a smile, he was a die-hard loyal to the Prince Group, and he had a deep hatred for Li Tianlan. Back in Huating, his son Zhong Youwei died in the hands of Li Tianlan. Zhong Yongming never showed too much
The great hostility can be the revenge of killing a son. This is a real sworn relationship. Zhong Yongming cannot move, but he has not found a chance to die. As long as there is a chance, he does not mind causing trouble for Li Tianlan. The greater the trouble, the happier he will be.
"I agree with Chairman Zhong's opinion."
Amid hearty laughter, another member of the Prince Group stood up.
The meeting is getting more and more lively.
The Northern Group remained silent.
People from the Prince Group, the Academic Group, the Rich Group, and the Southeast Group kept speaking, and their words became increasingly fierce.
And the center of everyone's attention, Li Tianlan did not speak.
In the other center, Wang Qinglei didn't speak either.
Chen Fangqing glanced at Wang Qinglei, squinted his eyes, and suddenly smiled and said: "Since everyone has different opinions, I suggest a vote."
He didn't want to talk about anonymous voting. What he wanted was to see clearly everyone's attitude, especially Wang Qinglei's attitude.
He glanced at Li Huacheng.
Li Huacheng nodded and said calmly:
"If you agree with Wang Jingxin's transfer to Tiannan, please raise your hands."
When he said this, he was the first to raise his head.
Zhongzhou Prime Minister Chen Fangqing, Deputy Prime Minister Hua Zhengyang, and Speaker Guo Wentian all raised their hands.
MPs belonging to the two major groups also raised their hands.
Chen Fangqing stared at Wang Qinglei with extremely sharp eyes.
Wang Qinglei's palm moved slightly, but in the end he did not raise it.
He is indeed not ready to split the Southeast Group now.
Chen Fangqing's eyes focused for a moment, then he smiled and said nothing.
Wang Qinglei's attitude is important, but it is not crucial.
With such a good opportunity, even if Wang Qinglei didn't raise his hand, he would definitely not support Qi Mulin in going to Tiannan. The biggest concession he made was simply not supporting Wang Jingxin.
In this case, they still have an advantage in the number of votes. This is a very crucial vote. Even if they abstain, it can still play a role.
The most important thing is that the president is on their side. When there is no advantage or the advantage is weak, the president can make the final decision.
Without Wang Qinglei, if the Southeast Group and the wealthy group join forces, it is impossible to surpass them in votes.
A smile appeared at the corner of Li Huacheng's mouth, and he said lightly: "If you agree with Qi Mulin's transfer to Tiannan, please raise your hands."
Dongcheng Wudi was the first to raise his hand.
Very determined.
Wan Qingyun and Ji Wenwen raised their hands at the same time.
The MPs raised their hands one by one.
One, two.
Huh? That's...
Then who?!
Everyone's eyes suddenly shrank.
In the corner of the conference room, Zhongzhou Councilor and Zhongzhou Co-Minister Xia Qiuling was also raising her hands, her expression was very calm.
Li Huacheng's expression froze for a moment.
Xia Qiuling!
This is not a person from a wealthy group, nor a person from the Southeast Group, but...
Northern Group!!!
Chen Fangqing suddenly looked back, his eyes fixed on Zhongzhou Director Zhou Yunhai, the supreme leader of the Northern Group.
In everyone's sight, Zhou Yunhai raised his palm bit by bit, silently, and finally raised his arm.
Northern Group!
How can it be?!
Li Huacheng narrowed his eyes.
There was an uproar in the conference room.
Chen Fangqing's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.
Is Wang Qinglei's vote crucial?
Maybe it's crucial.
But at this moment, there is no doubt that Zhou Yunhai's vote is the most critical.
