After reading out this fake edict, neither the Senate nor the two candidates expressed any objection.
The senators took out the golden seal representing the throne, a square base with a mighty ghost image carved on it.
The ghost lord usually uses this solid gold seal to seal when handling government affairs, and now it is also regarded as a symbol of the throne.
The monsters' eyes focused on the golden seal, and they truly realized that the ghost master who had ruled them for nearly a hundred years was finally about to be replaced.
The entire king-selection process is divided into three parts. First, the two candidates each take the stage to give a speech and state their policy policies, then vote, and finally the elders count the votes.
This was the first king-selection meeting since the system was established by the ghost master. Many monsters present found it very novel and did not find it boring.
"All members present please remain quiet."
The Speaker of the Senate, sitting in the middle, knocked with a wooden hammer to suppress the hum of conversation: "Now, two candidates are invited to speak on the stage."
"etc!"
A sudden voice interrupted the speaker.
A ghost clan elder on the left stood up, holding a few pieces of paper in his hand: "Before the king selection begins, I think there is something that needs to be dealt with first to ensure the fairness of the king selection."
The entire venue fell silent, and many monsters secretly thought to themselves—it’s finally here.
The speaker frowned and asked, "Jinjing Zhang, what's the matter with you?"
The elder named Jinjing Zhang waved the paper in his hand, and his high-pitched voice spread throughout the venue through the loudspeaker.
"Someone complained to me today that Umitsu Kaori, the Minister of Economic Affairs in charge of foreign trade, neglected her duties, resulting in insufficient supply of canned human flesh every month, causing security unrest in the Iron Casting Palace. There have been many vicious security cases caused by snatching cans. Ghost The Lord has said that any unqualified official will be deprived of his voting rights, so I propose that Umitsu Kaori be deprived of her position and voting rights to ensure the fairness of the vote."
The audience suddenly became noisy. It was obvious that Tsui Rakshasa supported Oni Rakshasa and directly attacked Umitsu Kaori about the shortage of canned food.
Everyone knows that Umitsu Kaori is Oniunji's most capable subordinate. Once her voting rights are deprived, the situation will be worrying.
Oniunji's supporters looked worried. The shortage of canned food was an inconspicuous thing but the negative impact was not weak. Recently, many monsters in the Iron Cast Palace were making trouble for this, but they were suppressed by the security police. .
Many affairs officers have actually secretly reported this matter to Oniunji, hoping that she can resolve it as soon as possible.
But so far we haven't seen the supply being replenished. I don't know whether it's due to lack of motivation or not enough attention.
Oni Rakshasa looked at his sister and found that her expression did not change. She must be pretending to be calm.
The two foxes around him looked a little flustered. Onitakizawa had already hurried over and was whispering something to Umitsu Kaori, seeming to be accusing her of not doing things well.
Seeing his opponent so panicked, Ghost Rakshasa finally became happy after being in a bad mood recently.
What's the use of asking outsiders for help? Being able to use your brain is the most important thing.
The Speaker read the information handed over by Jinjing Zhang. It recorded the supply data for the last month, which was indeed lacking compared to before.
At the same time, there was also testimony from the public security police. In the past month, the public security environment has deteriorated sharply due to insufficient supply.
The Speaker supported Oniunji, but in the face of such obvious evidence, he could not openly take sides.
Otherwise, any elder can take the position of Speaker.
"quiet!"
He hit it several times with a wooden hammer to suppress the noise, and then said to Oni Yunji: "Your Highness, do you have anything to explain? According to the rules of the Ghost Lord, if you are confirmed to be derelict in your duties, you will be deprived of your position. and voting rights.”
Oniunji slowly stood up at this moment: "Your Excellency Speaker, Umitsu Kaori's goods were attacked by unknown monsters on the road, and they could not be delivered, which led to a shortage of supply. I think this was an accident and it is excusable and should not be deprived of it. office and voting rights.”
Before the speaker could speak, Jinjingzhang interjected: "Since she is in charge of trade, she should bear the responsibility of protecting the goods. If the goods are attacked, she can shirk the responsibility. Then the defeat of the soldiers can be said not because our army did not work hard, but because the enemy was too strong." Are you strong enough to shirk responsibility?"
Oniunji turned to look at him and said in a calm tone: "Umitsu Kaori has made great contributions to the Iron Casting Palace for many years, and she has never made any mistakes in her work."
Jinjing Zhang immediately retorted: "Xia Yuan Haidou also made great contributions to the Iron Casting Palace. If he made a mistake, he would be dismissed from his post. Your Highness Rakshasa can do things fairly, can't the princess do the same?"
Onitakizawa and the fox sisters both looked towards Oni Rakshasa and saw a proud look on his face.
It turns out that Xia Yuan Haidou's dismissal was not just a deliberate show of weakness, but now it also had such an effect.
Ghost Rakshasa may not have such a brain, someone must be secretly giving him ideas.
Faced with Tsuizu's rebuttal, Oniyunji calmly said: "Xia Yuan Kaidou made the mistake on his own initiative, which is different from the accident that Umitsu Kaori faced. We should give her a chance to make up for her mistakes, otherwise no one can guarantee themselves. You will never encounter an accident. What do you think at the scene?
As soon as Gui Yunji finished speaking, there was a buzz of discussion on and off the stage.
The monsters were very enthusiastic, arguing passionately with the monsters around them who had different opinions, and exchanging words with each other.
In the past, the ghost master made the final decision, and whatever he said was what he said. This was the first time that middle-level monsters were allowed to participate in politics like this.
Just as Jinjing Zhang was about to continue to refute, Gui Yunji suddenly said: "Senior Jinjing Zhang, I remember that you once embezzled supplies, but the Ghost Lord still gave you a chance to make up for your mistakes and did not deprive you of your position. You got the Ghost Lord opportunity, but refuse to give others a chance?"
The monsters in the audience suddenly became excited. They did not expect that the elder had such a dark history.
"I have long seen that he is not a good monster."
"Deer-headed rat-eyed, you still have the nerve to accuse Minister Yuguang."
"How did such an old immortal become a senator?"
Ghost Rakshasa snorted coldly, this old guy actually had something he didn't know about. If he had known about it, he would have replaced him.
Listening to the unconcealed sarcasm below, Jinjing Zhang's face turned slightly red. He didn't expect that some of his past events would be exposed by the ghost princess in public.
Feeling ashamed and angry in his heart, in front of so many monsters, he continued to hold on and said: "I returned all the supplies before getting forgiveness from the ghost master. Unless Umitsu Kaori can replenish the supply immediately, she is still the one to be forgiven. dereliction of duty."
Originally, he planned to kill Umitsu Kaori directly, but he didn't expect that Oni Unhime would use irrefutable reasons to turn the tables.
But Ghost Rakshasa is not worried. Even if he gives Stinky Fox a few more days, he still won't be able to find a complete supply of goods.
He looked at his sister, wanting to see the helpless and furious expression on her face, but he didn't expect her face to be calm.
Even the two foxes and Oni Takizawa beside him lost their previous panic and even smiled.
Ghost Rakshasa suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.
