Chapter 993 Resolution passed

The vote is over!

Everyone in the chamber, both on stage and off stage, counted silently during the voting process. When it was about three-quarters, the results were actually already produced. The votes in favor reached 220 and the proposal was passed.

This is the number of votes required by the Imperial Parliament to pass the proposal, and when the vote is completed, it is far beyond the requirements.

Now it's only a matter of declaring the result.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the consul. Rennes walked to the voting table and reached out to guide him. The gems in the two containers flew up and counted them according to the process.

He announced loudly: "271 votes in favor, 58 votes against. Governor Motherio, your proposal is passed."

Motherio stood up and saluted to the surroundings, "Thank you for your support."

Slap sex...

Applause rang out in the chamber. At first, the applause was relatively small because the congressmen were concerned about the Holy Soul Wizards on the stage. Soon everyone found that the Holy Soul Wizard could not make any sound, and the hall was full of their own people, so the applause became more and more intense.

"Congratulations to the consul!"

"His Excellency Rennes serves as lifelong consul. I support it from the beginning!"

"The Consul will make the Empire great again!"

The members of the parliament stood up to congratulate and couldn't wait to express their loyalty to Rennes. The members who voted against him were extremely angry and could not help but refute, but were soon drowned by the shouts of Rennes' supporters, and the huge gap in numbers made them wince.

Some opponents also glared at the MPs around them.

"traitor!"

"You actually betrayed the Duke?"

Previously, Nestu initiated a proposal to prohibit the Holy Soul Wizard from serving as consul, and 85 members of parliament voted in favor, but only 58 voted against this round of votes.

This means that another 27 imperial congressmen have turned against each other.

Of course, these people are not hard-core supporters of Rennes. Most of them change their positions when they see the situation in Rennes has been established and irreversible, so they change their positions when voting in the last voting.

There was a lot of noise in the chamber.

More than 300 imperial MPs, some congratulate, some compliments, some argue with opposing MPs, and some directly cursed.

Most of the Imperial Congressmen sitting in the front row remained silent and looked at Rennes on the stage.

The proposal was only passed in the Imperial Parliament and had to be submitted to the Supreme Parliament for vote. If it were a few months ago when the Modus took control of the Supreme Parliament, of course there would be no suspense, but now, the Nathist faction and the Balanced faction have formed an alliance, and the votes have been tied.

The Duke of Grey Eagle is prepared today.

Although he was beaten up by the consul, he must have great confidence to let Nestu initiate a proposal and would never allow the Modus to succeed.

At this time, Renn raised his hand and pressed it down for a moment.

The chamber calmed down within a second, and even the quarrels who were blushing with noise immediately shut up, and everyone looked at the consul.

Ren said, "People, please sit down."

The MPs sat back on their seats.

Rennes stood in the middle of the stage, with a tall figure and a torch-like look. His eyes slowly swept over the Imperial Congressman below the stage, with a humble, gentle but firm smile on his face. Every Congressman he saw raised his head and chest to show his best side.

"Lifetime consul is a great honor and a heavy responsibility."

"If I can, I would rather refuse the title."

Ren said loudly: "When you voted just now, I was thinking, more than ten years ago, I was just a young man from the countryside and didn't know anything. Ten years ago, I was the Speaker of Wizelland in Modu, so why did I suddenly come to Northrier to become the consul?"

The members of the congress listened carefully.

The experience of the consul was almost everyone in the empire, but it sounded very different when he said it from his own mouth.

Renn's eyes were bright and firm, "It's all for the Empire, because I have this ability."

"I can be a good consul, govern the empire, let the people of the empire live a better life, lead everyone to conquer larger territory, and gain more wealth. I sit in the position of consul, and never stop thinking about doing better, and I dare not be a little slacking off."

"Fortunately, I made some small achievements during my tenure..."

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

"I originally did not plan to be re-elected. After this term ended, I handed over the important task to the new consul. I will go back to Glamorgan to rest for a few years." Renne's voice became a little deeper.

The MPs whispered, but not many believed it.

"However……"

Renne's speech changed and his tone was raised: "You vote today to let me continue to be the consul, or lifelong consul."

"Although I personally do not seek my position, I still take it as my responsibility to benefit the country. Today I am so popular. You have voted to let me serve as a lifelong consul. In order to better benefit the people of the empire, I can only completely abandon my selfishness and take responsibility."

"If the Supreme Parliament passes a resolution, I agree to be the lifelong consul..."

Renn paused.

He looked at the Holy Soul Wizards in the stands with a serious expression and whispered loudly: "I will do my best to give all my things to the empire until the day I die!"

Smack sex...

The Imperial parliamentarians stood up again and slapped their palms hard. The applause in the chamber was like a tide that continued for several minutes.

Renne waved his hand repeatedly, and the applause gradually subsided.

He immediately lifted the rune array blocking on the stage, allowing the projection of the Holy Soul Wizard and the Great Masters to speak, and said loudly: "Everyone, the Imperial Council has just passed a proposal, and I will submit it to the Supreme Council..."

The words were interrupted as soon as they started.

Tim Kennan said in a deep voice: "Ren, you don't have to say those hypocritical words here, I've long seen your ambitions."

He turned to look at the Holy Soul Wizards, "Can't you still see it? What he wants to be a lifelong consul, what he wants to be an emperor!"

The voice of the Duke of Grey Eagle resounded through the Imperial Hall.

The faces of the Holy Soul Wizards changed slightly.

The Imperial Congressman in the audience was in an uproar, but not everyone was surprised by this. Many people, especially Rennes' supporters, had long been mentally prepared.

There is only one difference between a lifelong consul and an emperor, and the consul has the supreme parliament on its head.

If even the Supreme Council is controlled by Rennes, what is the difference between him and the emperor?

No difference!

Rennes Augustus is the essential emperor of Orionthus, all he misses is a title that will surely be crowned in the future.

But so what?

Those who can become members of the Imperial Empire are not stupid. Even if they are slow in their sense of politics, they can guess Rennes' ambitions. Over the years, they have worked with Rennes, some have made a lot of money, some have climbed to high positions, and some have greatly increased their strength, and have gained benefits that they would never get in their lifetime.

Whoever can give them benefits will support whoever they support.

Anyway, it is no different for them that the supreme power of the empire is in the hands of the Supreme Council or the Emperor.

Kneeling at the feet of the Holy Soul Wizard, and kneeling at the feet of Rennes. Since they have to kneel, it is better to kneel down to the side that can bring great benefits to themselves.

Whoever dares to oppose Rennes and harms his own interests will be my enemy!

When the Imperial parliamentarians voted for it, they had already thought it through.

The Holy Soul Wizards also guessed Renne's intention.

Although some people were shocked by the title of "Emperor", everyone's reaction was not as intense as they imagined, and they fell silent in a few seconds.

Tim Kennan heard his voice echoing in the chamber, but there were only a few responders. He found that many of the Imperial Congressmen below looked at him with a cold look on his face. Suddenly, he felt extremely angry and felt something was wrong.

"Master Kennan."

Rennes warned seriously: "You have summoned today's Supreme Council by yourself. Please keep your demeanor so as not to lose your dignity."

Tim Kennan's face was gloomy and his eyes were fierce.

The Great Sage of Congerard asked, "Ren, do you really want to be the emperor?"

"Great Sage, this has nothing to do with our issue today." Renne avoided talking and continued: "The Imperial Parliament submitted a proposal to make me the lifelong consul of the Empire. Now please vote. If you agree, please raise your hand."

After Renn said that, he raised his right hand.

The great sage sighed softly, neither raising his hand nor speaking.

Other holy soul wizards were also hesitating.

Renne's heart thumped.

Although I do not really need the consent of the Supreme Parliament and if the resolution is not passed, I will turn the table over and stop playing. However, if I can get the legal recognition of the Supreme Parliament, the subsequent ascension to the throne will reduce resistance and avoid a lot of verbal disputes.

The Imperial MPs in the chamber looked at the stage with breath.

At this time, a slender hand was raised, and everyone's eyes gathered over and found that it was Ms. Oxilia, Duke of Qinghong!

"Agree." Oshylia was the first to make a statement.

Immediately afterwards, two people raised their hands.

Master Euroin and Dean Sabra were only a little slower than Osiria, which shows that they were very determined to support Rennes.

Then the situation stagnated for a few seconds.
