Wu Yong said with a firm tone: "And among other bishops, there are many such people. On the surface, they are trying to make ends meet with you, but in fact, they still don't want you to succeed. Therefore, the people you propose will wait until the actual election.
When the time came, they would not agree, and instead Hotson, an inconspicuous person, would be accidentally replaced."
After hearing this, the Bishop of Marseille sighed with emotion: "Mr. Wu, your observation skills are so admirable. If it weren't for your guidance, I would never have imagined that Pu Zhizhi did not betray."
After learning the news.
He felt a lot happy in his heart, swept away his previous unhappiness, and went to prepare for the evening meeting happily.
at the same time.
Park Chi-Chi showed more initiative than the Bishop of Marseille.
He found the bishops he trusted one by one and discussed with them how to deal with the Bishop of Marseille. After his persuasion, they all agreed to try to make Hotson the replacement cardinal during the secret ballot, defeating the vampire conspiracy in one fell swoop.
For this, they are willing to pay the price with their lives.
When night falls.
St. Peter's Church is extremely busy.
Many believers were walking back and forth, as if they were in a prosperous time.
Many people didn't know the situation, so they stopped people and asked, "Hey, what are you doing, has something big happened?"
"Don't you know, all the cardinals will hold an emergency meeting tonight to discuss matters regarding the election of the pope and the replacement of cardinals. This is a major event for the Holy See. There are many matters that need to be prepared. I won't tell you. I
I still need to record it.”
The rules of the Holy See are quite complicated.
Whenever something big happens, it needs to be strictly recorded.
Especially when it comes to the election of the Pope, it is a top priority for the Holy See. There are dozens of people responsible for recording and witnessing.
In the auditorium of St. Peter's Basilica.
Eleven cardinals were sitting one after another, and below were hundreds of people from the Holy See, including Huotson disguised as Wu Yong.
Wait until the staff is ready.
The Bishop of Marseille cleared his throat, and the auditorium suddenly fell silent.
He looked around and said: "Okay, everyone has arrived, let's have a formal meeting. This time we have called everyone here urgently, mainly because there are special circumstances. Everyone must know that our Cardinal Cristino is strange.
He disappeared and there is still no trace of him until now. There are various signs that someone is trying to sabotage our papal election."
Wow.
The auditorium became a mess.
The people below were talking enthusiastically.
The expressions of the cardinals varied, but most of them were like Pu Zhizhi, who stared at the Bishop of Marseille secretly, thinking to himself: This person is you! The thief shouts, catch the thief!
"Okay, let's not discuss it for now. Let me finish." The Bishop of Marseille pressed his palms down to quiet the scene. He continued: "For the stability of the Holy See, and in order to prevent the conspiracy behind the scenes from succeeding, I
and other cardinals, all feel that the candidate for the pope should be decided as early as possible to prevent the Holy See from falling into passivity. Therefore, the first thing to be decided at the emergency meeting we convened today is whether to agree to hold an emergency papal election."
According to the rules of the Holy See, major matters involving matters must be decided by a collective vote of the cardinals in the absence of a decision from the Pope.
So the Bishop of Marseille went on to say: "I propose that the vote be held now. Is there no objection from everyone?"
The cardinals said nothing.
No words were spoken below.
Everyone chooses the default.
"Okay, let's go to a secret ballot now. If it passes, white smoke will come out, if it doesn't pass, there will be black smoke."
There is a dedicated voting room on one side of the auditorium.
It is isolated and closed to the outside world.
Each voter does not know what other people voted for.
There are personnel specifically responsible for counting votes.
After counting the votes, the results will be announced to everyone through the chimney.
This is also the method used when electing the pope.
Every link and process will be recorded in detail for subsequent verification.
After announcing the start of voting.
The cardinals entered the voting room separately.
Long ago, Pu Zhi contacted many bishops, and they all agreed that the pope could be elected as soon as possible, and the sooner the better, so as to disrupt the vampire's plan.
So there were no obstacles to this vote.
Shortly after the voting was completed.
White smoke comes out of the chimney.
Declare the vote passed.
The Bishop of Marseille said with a smile: "Okay, it seems that everyone agrees to hold an early papal election. Now we can choose a time. The selection of the time does not need to be so troublesome. Everyone can fully discuss it and then vote by a show of hands."
Park Chi-Chi was the first to stand up: "I suggest as soon as possible. Now that everyone is together and the staff of the Holy See are in full force, I propose to make an announcement tonight and hold a papal election ceremony tomorrow."
Marseille nodded: "I think it's feasible."
He all agreed, and other cardinals naturally followed suit, and the proposal was quickly passed unanimously.
"Then let's move on to the second topic. In view of the mysterious disappearance of Bishop Christino, his whereabouts are still unknown. In order to stabilize the overall situation of the Holy See and successfully complete the papal election, according to the rules, a candidate should be replaced as a cardinal. I propose that Edir be replaced
Do you have any other suggestions for the cardinal?"
After Maasai finished speaking, he looked at Park Zhizhi.
Upon seeing this, Pu Zhizhi said: "I propose Hotson. He is the black bishop of the Holy See. He has made great contributions to the Holy See and is qualified to be a substitute cardinal."
Wow.
There was another uproar below.
Although everyone knows about Black Bishop Hotson, he usually lives in seclusion, and everyone is not very clear about his specific contribution to the Holy See. He was nominated rashly, and some comments are normal.
The Bishop of Marseille pondered for a while and then turned his attention to the other cardinals.
It seems to be asking for opinions.
In fact, everyone had discussed it secretly and expressed that they had no objections.
Marseille made the final decision: "Okay, then we will vote separately. The first round of voting will decide whether to replace Edir. The second round of voting will decide whether to replace Hotson. After the two rounds of voting, everyone will come out together to witness the results."
This is the result that others are waiting for.
So we unanimously agreed.
soon.
The first round of voting begins.
As expected, black smoke came out of the chimney, which meant that Edil's replacement as cardinal was opposed by most cardinals.
Edil was overjoyed for a moment, but when he saw the result, his face suddenly dropped.
Then comes the second round, which is to decide whether Hotson will replace the Cardinal.
Everyone who voted knew it.
People outside seemed very nervous, and some even thought to themselves that maybe Hotson's vote would not pass and there would be other nominees.
But as a result, white eyes came out of the chimney.
Suddenly the pot exploded again. (To be continued)
