After hearing the secretary's words, Elder Miao and Elder Xu couldn't help but look at each other.
To be honest, although the two of them guessed that Qiu Tu would probably hold a meeting of elders in the near future, they really didn't expect it to be so soon.
‘Qiu Tu is too anxious’
Their keen political sense allowed them to smell something different.
Therefore, Mr. Miao coughed, and then asked in a deep voice, "When will the meeting be held? Who notified it?"
After hearing what Mr. Miao said, the secretary quickly bowed and responded, "Go back to Mr. Miao. It was notified by the Privy Council that it will be held at 1 p.m."
Mr. Miao nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "I understand, let's go down."
The secretary bowed again and walked out of the courtyard quickly.
As the secretary's figure gradually disappeared at the entrance of the courtyard, the two elders looked at each other.
Mr. Miao asked tentatively, "Qiu Tu, do you want to start today?"
When Mr. Xu heard this, his cloudy eyes showed some deep thought, "It's very possible."
Mr. Miao asked, "Then what should we do?"
Mr. Xu picked up the tea cup on the table, lowered his eyebrows and took a sip of tea, and then said slowly, "What can we do?"
"Do you think we have a choice?"
Mr. Xu said with some emotion, "Don't think of us as the previous senior management of the shelter."
"Set yourself up."
"In fact, we are no different from all other living beings and the ants on the ground."
"If we had surrendered on our own initiative, we would still have a place in the new system."
"But we were knocked on the door and had to admit defeat."
"Now, it's good that Qiu Tu is still willing to keep our position."
"Not to mention who is Qiu Tu?"
"But he is a super-level cataclysm who killed the seventh-level evil god and enslaved the sixth-level evil god."
"Coupled with his status as a high-ranking official, he has been given a golden body and cannot even use nuclear weapons."
"So, when we face him, it's like 'Yurou' meets 'Daozu'. There's nothing we can do about it."
Speaking of this, Mr. Xu paused and concluded, "Let me tell you. No matter what happens this afternoon, let's not express any opinions."
"For this meeting, we only bring the ears, not the mouth."
After hearing Elder Xu's sincere suggestion, Elder Miao showed a deep thought on his face, and then nodded thoughtfully.
And at the same time.
Shelter 7. Wei Family.
As one of the original three giants of Sanctuary 7.
The Wei family has experienced three major events: "The Founding of the 7th Sanctuary", "Partridge Terrace Incident" and "Qiu Lin Coup", but it still stands at the top of the power of the 7th Sanctuary.
Of the original four founders of the 7th Sanctuary, only Wei Zhengze, the head of the Wei family, is left. The four major families have experienced changes over the past few decades, but only the Wei family has remained consistent.
From this we can also see the Wei family’s timing and power.
At this time, the main room of Wei's house.
The head of the Wei family, Wei Zhengze, had a serious look on his face after listening to the report from the person in charge of the Wei family's intelligence system. Then he tapped his fingers on the table gently and pondered quietly.
After a moment, he came back to his senses, then looked at the person in charge of the emotional system and confirmed, "So, what you mean is that Qiu Tu has reached an agreement with the 3rd Sanctuary."
"The third shelter helps him secure other shelters, and then actively builds momentum for him to make him the number one in our shelter?"
"And when Qiu Tu seizes power, will he agree to a series of unequal treaties?"
“Which even includes that Sanctuary 3 can set up offices and station troops in the states of Sanctuary 7?”
Hearing Wei Zhengze's words, the intelligence chief nodded slightly, and then affirmed, "Yes."
Wei Zhengze's face was filled with anger, "What is Qiu Tu doing? Doesn't this make Sanctuary 7 a semi-colony?!"
Hearing Wei Zhengze's words, the person in charge of intelligence coughed quickly, and then reminded him softly, "Master, be careful what you say."
After hearing the reminder from the intelligence chief, Wei Zhengze realized that he had made a mistake.
So he quickly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea in a disguised manner.
He drank this sip of tea for three or four seconds.
Three or four seconds later, he adjusted his mood, put down the tea, and then said with a look of neither joy nor sorrow, "Does Lin Xi know the news?"
Lin Xi is Princess Xi.
The person in charge of intelligence lowered his head and whispered, "I must have known about it for a long time."
Wei Zhengze tapped his fingers on the table, thinking quietly.
After a moment, he finally said, "Although I don't know exactly what agreement was reached between Qiu Tu and Lin Xi."
"But if I guess correctly, there must be relevant conditions regarding how the benefits of the 7th Asylum will be distributed."
"Now, Qiu Tu not only sold the 7th Sanctuary and turned the 7th Sanctuary into a semi-colony of the 3rd Sanctuary. He is also preparing to oust her from power in less than a month."
"If I were her, I would definitely not hand over power so easily."
After hearing the policy analysis, the head of the intelligence agency nodded slightly hesitantly, "That's right."
"During this period, we contacted Lin Xi and made a rough personality mapping of her."
"This woman is extremely vindictive. She is also thoughtful and thoughtful."
"If Qiu Tu dares to design her like this, she will definitely not let Qiu Tu go."
"So, my suggestion is that we wait and see what happens, without helping each other. Then we sit back and watch the tigers fight."
"After all, when they fight, it's us who actually gain."
Hearing what the intelligence chief said, Wei Zhengze also had a hint of understanding on his face.
He analyzed, "As the largest surrender faction in the 7th Sanctuary, we surrendered directly to Qiu Tu. We can almost be said to be Qiu Tu's direct force in the 7th Sanctuary."
"As for Princess Xi, although she is a partner with Qiu Tu, but now there is a conflict of interest. Then Qiu Tu will inevitably support another force to check and balance Princess Xi."
"That's us!"
After hearing Wei Zhengze's analysis, the intelligence chief looked at Wei Zhengze with a smile in his eyes, then nodded and said, "Yes."
"In fact, this trend has been revealed during this period."
"After Qiu Tu took over the asylum, he purged the Senate. But the purges were all those that were close to the Zhao family and the Han family."
"Like the factions that are close to our Wei family, Qiu Tu has barely touched them."
"This has greatly preserved our strength."
"Even if Princess Xi takes the throne and has great righteousness, she can only compromise with us."
This intelligence chief is obviously the Wei family's think tank.
Many of the previous decisions of the Wei family may have been proposed or modified by him.
Therefore, after listening to the words of the intelligence chief, Wei Zhengze nodded with satisfaction and agreed, "That's right. That's it."
He directly determined the approach of the next meeting of elders, "If that's the case, then I won't say anything during the meeting in the afternoon no matter what happens."
The person in charge of intelligence nodded slightly and agreed.
At the same time, the 6th Sanctuary is the hub.
"Bang!" With a sound, the study door was pushed open from the outside, and the wall was kissed firmly.
As the door opened, Kou Yu strode in angrily.
Kou Xuan, who was sitting behind the desk and signing his name, raised his head and glanced at his brother, then reached out and gestured to the sofa next to him, "Sit."
After saying that, Kou Xuan continued to lower his head and write the document.
After hearing Kou Xuan's words, Kou Yu came to the sofa angrily. Then he sat down on the sofa.
"Brother, are you not in a hurry at all?"
"I already know that Qiu Tu sold us out!"
After hearing Kou Yu's words, Kou Xuan continued to correct a document with his head down with a slight smile on his face.
In this way, after finishing correcting the document in hand, Kou Xuan slowly put down the pen in his hand.
Then he did not directly answer his brother's question, but suddenly said something unrelated.
"Commander Li Feng from the 4th shelter contacted me on behalf of the 2nd shelter."
Kou Yu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Kou Xuan with a surprised expression.
Kou Xuan leaned on the chair and said slowly, "She said that after these years of investigation, she felt that after Qiu Tu left, the Kou family was actually the most suitable force to become the king of the "Northwest Region."
"If we are willing to cooperate with her, then the second shelter will support our shelter just like it supports the third shelter."
"This will not only help us get rid of the possibility of being a semi-colony, but also enable us to develop vigorously."
Kou Yu was shocked when he heard his brother's words. He asked, "Commander Li Feng actually has such an identity?"
Kou Xuan pointed at his eyes and said, "To a certain extent, the masters of the Second Sanctuary cannot come to the "marginal area", so they need an agent to observe and measure the situation changes in the "marginal area".
"
"And Commander Li Feng is obviously the agent."
Kou Xuan paused for a moment, "And according to Commander Li Feng's observation and summary, the various sexual operations in the 3rd shelter are really crazy."
"So, having a third shelter is enough. She doesn't want the entire human camp to be led astray."
"That's why she chose our Kou family."
At this time, Kou Yu actually didn't care who the agent was. He was more concerned about whether Kou Xuan agreed or not.
Therefore, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother, have you agreed?"
When Kou Xuan heard this, he also brought the topic back. He shook his head slightly and said, "No. I haven't given her an accurate answer yet."
"Tell her to wait two days before telling her the result."
Speaking of this, Kou Xuan paused for a moment, and then said, "I still want to see the dust of the 7th Sanctuary settle down first."
"Let's see how Lin Xi chooses"
Soon, in the blink of an eye, the whole morning passed so quietly.
1 p.m. Sanctuary 7, Senate Chamber.
At this time, both sides of the long table in the meeting hall were filled with senators. Not a single chair was vacant.
There have been a total of 32-37 elders in the 7th Sanctuary over the years. However, with the liquidation of the Han and Zhao families, although their direct descendants were not caught and killed, most of them were demoted and removed from their elder positions.
This has resulted in that the 7th Sanctuary now has only 23 elders in total.
Perhaps because this was the first time Qiu Tu, the uncrowned king of the "Northwest Region", held a meeting of elders, the elders were particularly well-attended, with all 23 elders present.
And everyone was waiting in the conference hall early.
Some of the elders who were far away were sweating profusely even when they sat down, and their clothes were soaked with sweat. It was obviously caused by rushing too slowly and being too stressed.
From this, we can also see Qiu Tu's prestige in the entire "Northwest Region" and in the 7th Sanctuary.
Soon, as the hands of the clock pointed to "1", Qiu Tu and Princess Xi came from outside one after another.
As soon as the two men appeared, the entire conference hall suddenly became quiet, and all the elders stood up to greet the two men.
However, precisely because of this high-level reception, the elders present were keenly aware that something was wrong.
Because when he walked in from the outside, Qiu Tu always had a slight smile on his face. In contrast, Princess Xi had no expression on her face, as if someone owed her millions.
This made the elders present feel suddenly, thinking that today's meeting might not be that simple.
Stepping to the main seat and the deputy seat, Qiu Tu and Princess Xi sat down, and the elders followed them nervously.
Accompanied by a noisy sound of chairs being dragged, soon, the entire conference hall slowly became quiet.
Seeing that order had been restored in the entire conference hall, Princess Xi, who was still Sanctuary No. 1, looked around coldly at everyone present, and then said majestically, "This meeting of elders is mainly to discuss a major event."
After hearing Princess Xi's words, the elders present looked at each other, then quickly adjusted their sitting postures, looked at Princess Xi, and said in their hearts, "Here we come."
Princess Xi saw that all the eyes at the scene were focused on her, and the expression on her face became slightly relaxed.
But when she thought about what she was going to say next, her expression couldn't help but become a little more serious.
She was silent for two seconds, and then said slowly, "I have noticed all the criticisms made by other shelters in the past two days."
"To be honest, I'm disappointed."
"I didn't expect that I would get such a misunderstanding."
"The reason why I led my troops back to Sanctuary No. 7 is because I discovered that the Han and Zhao families had betrayed humanity. If we continue to allow them to continue to take charge of our sanctuary, what awaits us in our sanctuary will only be an abyss."
"So, I went back to Sanctuary 7 solely to make Sanctuary 7 better, not for revenge!"
"Moreover, they also said that it is impossible for me to build the 7th shelter!"
After hearing Princess Xi's words, the elders in the conference hall couldn't help but look at each other and exchanged glances.
Obviously, Princess Xi's emotional criticism made many elders think that Princess Xi wanted to break up and resist Qiu Tu.
For a time, many elders began to think about how they should choose to get better benefits once Sanctuary No. 1 and No. 2 were in conflict.
Should he support Qiu Tu? Or betray Princess Xi? This is indeed a question.
As a result, while the dark waves were surging, Princess Xi changed her voice and said, "But after I talked with Mr. Qiu, I suddenly figured it out."
Speaking of this, Princess Xi glanced at Qiu Tu, and then said, "Elder Qiu told me that as the supreme leader of the shelter, he should listen and understand."
"Since so many shelters say I did something wrong."
"Then why don't I take a few days off?"
"Take advantage of this time to observe the operation of various departments of the shelter, learn from the advanced experiences of other shelters, and then formulate a new plan that will allow our shelter to develop."
Princess Xi had a serious face and firm eyes, "I think Elder Qiu is right."
"Therefore, I decided to voluntarily resign as the head of my sanctuary. Elder Qiu will temporarily serve as the head of the 7th sanctuary."
After hearing Princess Xi's words, the entire conference hall fell silent.
All the elders did not expect that Princess Xi would take the initiative to resign after changing her voice?
Then what was the purpose of what she said before?
Thinking like this, all the elders started to think quickly, analyzing the purpose of Princess Xi's conversation.
At first, they were a little confused about what Princess Xi was doing. However, the more they analyzed it, the more they felt that Princess Xi’s move was wonderful!
Princess Xi's resignation as head of state is actually not a simple matter.
Because it is easy to step down as head of state, but it is difficult to take office again.
If she relies on "self-stain" to resign, it will be difficult for her to reach the position of head of state again in her lifetime with her political stain.
And if she doesn't find a reason to taint herself, she will just find any reason to resign.
She is still a "general" who "ran away". She will lose the hearts of the people in the 7th Sanctuary, and it will be difficult for her to regain her position again.
As a result, she first used the criticism from other shelters as a reason, and then supplemented it with Qiu Tu's opinions, and finally decided to temporarily step down from her post, recharge, and wait for the opportunity to work for the shelter again.
This reason not only makes her resignation reasonable, but also eliminates the loopholes for political opponents to catch.
And it also left the foundation for "returning to the position of head of state again in the future and burning everything for the company."
She even specifically stated that "Qiu Tu is the "temporary" head of state", which made everything clear.
Just like that, after finishing the conversation, all the elders didn't know how to express their stance.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu also spoke.
He looked around at all the elders present, and then said in a deep voice, "Now that President Lin has finished speaking, who is in favor and who is against?"
After speaking, he took the lead in raising his hand, "I agree."
I heard him finally give his attitude.
Wei Zhengze, who considers himself Qiu Tu's "hardcore", was the first to raise his hand in support.
He smiled and said, "I listen to Mr. Qiu and I agree."
The Wei family was originally one of the three giants of the 7th Sanctuary. There were many families and elders behind them.
As soon as he opened his mouth, five or six other senators immediately raised their hands.
People have a herd mentality. When a gap opens, everything will collapse.
So, after a while, one after another, all the elders present raised their hands to pass.
In this way, this "coup" that was supposed to end in a bloody storm was actually completed in a very simple way.
A veteran secretly looked at his watch and discovered that only 26 minutes had passed!
'That's it?'
'Where's the fight? What's the fight?'
For a time, some elders even suspected that there was something wrong with their brains.
'What kind of ecstasy drug did Qiu Tu give to Princess Xi?'
'How is it possible for a woman who is so ambitious and has just sat on the throne to willingly go dormant again?'
With a deep sense of confusion, this far-reaching but extremely brief meeting ended unexpectedly.
However, the impact of this meeting has obviously just begun!
After Qiu Tu and Princess Xi left the conference hall one after another, Qiu Tu invited, "Do you want to go to my place?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Xi glanced at him lightly, then politely declined, "No. I still have a lot of things to be busy with."
After saying that, she went straight into her motorcade without waiting for Qiu Tu's reaction.
The vehicle started, and one of the cars in the convoy slowly rolled down its window, revealing Yanyan's innocent and angelic little face.
Seeing Qiu Tu, Yanyan smiled at Qiu Tu, mouthed softly, "Master~~" and then rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue.
At that moment, Qiu Tu had only one feeling: his waist felt numb.
Yanyan, Xueer and Aili.
In fact, Ellie had already been promoted to the position of director before this promotion, so her rank was adjusted to the deputy speaker level, which was a normal promotion.
Yanyan and Xueer have lower ranks, both at director level.
Therefore, there is indeed a lot of criticism for the extraordinary promotion of these two people.
Especially Qiu Tu, who immediately promoted Yanyan to the speaker level and took charge of all affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Sanctuary 7. Many people asked Qiu Tu whether this appointment was too arbitrary.
Before, Qiu Tu actually had doubts.
But once today's events were over, Qiu Tu no longer had any doubts in his mind.
The reason is very simple. Those elders couldn't understand why Princess Xi agreed to abdication to Qiu Tu so easily and then paved the way for Qiu Tu.
And Qiu Tu actually didn’t quite understand it either.
Because this was not what he was trying to persuade, lobby or cajole in the first place.
At that time, after he expressed this idea, the little bitch Yanyan volunteered to solve the matter.
As a result, that night, Qiu Tu received good news from Yanyan, saying that everything was settled.
Qiu Tu asked how it was done, but Yanyan just smiled and said "it's a secret", asking Qiu Tu to trust her.
To be honest, when he heard what Yanyan said, Qiu Tu couldn't help but say something in his heart: An honest child will get into big trouble.
He always felt as if Yanyan was planning something big.
However, Qiu Tu really doesn't have the energy to care about the "Northwest Region" right now. His current thoughts are all on promotion and "god status".
Therefore, he let Yanyan do whatever she wanted.
Again: to a certain extent, the more chaotic the "Northwest Region" is, the easier it will be for him to clean up the mess when he comes back.
At this time, when Qiu Tu was thinking this.
Qiu Tubing fought without hesitation, and the news of Princess Xi resigning as Shelter No. 1 began to spread rapidly throughout the major shelters——
