Chapter 103 The Battle for the Throne

"What a bunch of trash!" At this time, accompanied by an angry shout, a master swordsman holding a halberd suddenly rushed out of Wanghai City, and chased after the team of knights.

Facing this master sword master, those knights were obviously no match. If no one came to rescue them, they would be killed by that master sword master soon.

Fleet Commander Admiral Hopena immediately shouted to Su Li: "Hurry up and save people, those are the troops of the Royal Knights, and they must be protecting the royal family!"

Hai Zijing was the first to rush out when he heard the words. After all, he is the royal family of the Hanhai Empire!Naturally, this own relative must go to save it!Maybe his emperor's father is in there!

Su Li and the others also rushed out, and some players were eager to fire, but they were strictly stopped by Ling Zhendong, who stayed behind to supervise. The ammunition reserves of each battleship are not much now, so they didn't mess around like this. This will leave after saving people, and there is no need to waste ammo.

And that rebel sword master was obviously not Hai Zijing's opponent, and he was blasted into an ice sculpture by his Tianshuang fist, and fell to the ground and turned into ice slag.

Those rebel soldiers had been terrified by the royal knights before, but now they saw such a super expert coming from the other side, how could they dare to continue to intercept them, and fled back to the city without their helmets and armor.

Seeing this, Su Li and the others did not continue to chase and fight fiercely, but fell from the sky and protected the team of royal knights.

Hai Zijing hurriedly came to the leading knight captain, and asked him, "Who did you cover and killed? Is it my father?"

Although Hai Zijing has not returned to the imperial capital for several years, the members of the Royal Knights are also old people who have seen him before and recognized him at a glance. The leading knight captain stepped forward to face him. After saluting, he replied, "Your Highness the Third Prince, Your Majesty has already died in the fierce battle with the rebels, and most of the members of the royal family have not escaped the murderous hands of the rebels. We only protect the youngest son of His Royal Highness Hai. Little Treasure escaped."

Under the guidance of the knight captain, Hai Zijing soon saw the little boy tied to the chest of a royal knight.

The little boy looked only seven or eight years old, and he didn't know him at all, which made him very disappointed, and angrily asked the royal knights: "You saved such a tooth that didn't even grow What's the use of the little guy? Why don't you escort the other adult princes out!"

"Because all the grown-up princes went out with His Majesty to resist when the rebels entered the city, many of them were killed by the rebels on the spot, and then the rebels searched the whole city for the royal family members, so in a hurry, we only It was too late to save the emperor and grandson alone." Facing Hai Zijing's questioning, the knight captain lowered his head and replied.

Hearing this, Hai Zijing also knew that he had wrongly blamed the other party, so he took the royal knights and the grandson of the emperor who seemed to be still in shock aboard the battleship.

When Huo Puna saw Hai Xiaobao, the grandson of the emperor, he was overjoyed, because he was a member of the eldest prince's family before, and now the eldest prince died in battle, but the emperor's grandson was still left, so he Naturally, he will continue to be loyal to Hai Xiaobao!

"As the saying goes, this country cannot be without a master for a day. Now that His Majesty and all the princes have all died in battle, I think we should support the emperor's grandson to ascend the throne to stabilize the morale of the army!"

Hearing Huo Puna's proposal, Hai Zijing immediately grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. After all, in Hai Zijing's opinion, most of the royal family members have been killed now, so he will become the new Hanhai Empire The emperor is almost a certainty, how can such a young guy be the emperor of the Hanhai Empire!

After Huo Puna sensed Hai Zijing's murderous intent, he immediately stood in front of Hai Xiaobao as if facing a formidable enemy, and asked Hai Zijing sharply, "Your Highness, Third Prince, what do you want?"

"What am I doing? I still want to ask you what you want to do? Haven't you seen that I am such a big living person? I want to support such a young child to be in power. Is it because I think children are easy to control and want to be in control in the future? Is it a powerful minister of the government?" Hai Zijing faced the other party's shouting question, but counterattacked unceremoniously, after all, what is at stake now is the throne of the Hanhai Empire, the highest throne, since he has the opportunity, so what? Maybe not to fight it!

"You are framing! I, Hopna, have always been loyal to the empire, and supporting the emperor's grandson to the throne is just following the old practice! As the eldest prince's own son, the emperor's grandson originally had the first place in the throne Inheritance! As for your Highness, the third prince, you naturally have the right to inherit, but everyone knows that you are mediocre among the princes, and your grades have always been at the bottom during your studies at the Royal Academy. Even His Majesty dislikes you very much. , how can a mediocre person like you be able to convince everyone?"

"Haha! What a joke, no matter how mediocre my aptitude is, I'm still a master of swordsman. Compared to this seven-year-old kid, I'm sure I'm much stronger. Who would dare to refuse to accept the throne!"

While Hopna and Hai Zijing were arguing fiercely, the grandson of the emperor, Hai Xiaobao, suddenly ran away from behind Hopna, and rushed back to the captain of the royal knight.

Seeing this, Huo Puna could only stop arguing with Hai Zijing, and then stepped forward to pull the grandson of the emperor back.After all, the other party is now related to the future prosperity and wealth of his family!There is no room for surprise.These royal knights, after seeing Hai Zijing's formidable strength, seem to admire him very much, and there is a faint tendency to move closer to Hai Zijing. How can Huo Puna trust Hai Xiaobao in their hands!
At this time, Ling Zhendong took the opportunity to step forward and become a peacemaker, and proposed to Hai Zijing and Hopna: "If you continue to argue like this, you will not be able to reach a conclusion. I think it is better to let all the nobles and knights Let us vote, and whoever gets the most votes will become the new emperor of the Hanhai Empire, what do you think?"

When Hai Zijing heard this proposal, he immediately wanted to reject it. After all, he knew how bad his impression was in the eyes of those players. Not long after he first entered the fantasy space, he got involved with Qian Duoduo, the most well-connected person in it. In the end, there was a big fight, and the fight was lost.Since then, he has been regarded by those players as a piece of trash with a temper but no real skills.And now the majority of the nobles and knights in this fleet are those players from the dream space. If there is a vote, he is likely to lose miserably.

However, after Huo Puna saw Hai Zijing's ugly expression, he immediately said to Ling Zhendong: "Okay! Let's do it like this! Let everyone vote together. I believe that the eyes of nobles and knights are sharp, and you can definitely do it." It is clear who is the one who is suitable to inherit the throne!"

Before Hai Zijing could object, Ling Zhendong responded in a cooperative manner: "Okay! That's settled, I'm going to make preparations now. I believe we can start voting by noon!"

Huo Puna knew that the other party should leave this time for him to find a way to canvass votes, so he secretly gave Ling Zhendong a grateful look, and then pulled Hai Xiaobao away.

Facing this situation, Hai Zijing was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He really had the urge to draw his sword and kill Huopuna and Hai Xiaobao directly.

If it was in the past, Hai Zijing might really have done this when he was angry, but during this time, after experiencing so many setbacks, he has also grown a lot, knowing that violence is not a good way to solve problems, especially In this kind of battle for the throne, if he takes action now, he will become a bloodthirsty tyrant in the eyes of others. Even if he succeeds to the throne by luck, he will not win the hearts of the people.

Seeing that Hai Zijing resisted the urge to kill in the end, Su Li stepped forward and patted the other person on the shoulder, and said to him with a smile, "Not bad! Knowing how to endure, this is a huge improvement!"

"Su Li, don't just praise me! Give me an idea, how can I win the support of those nobles and knights? You know, I am definitely not as good as these politicians and old foxes in terms of eloquence!" See When it came to Su Li, an acquaintance who fought side by side, Hai Zijing immediately put down his princely airs and asked him in a low voice.

Seeing the worried look on the other side's face, Su Li immediately guessed what the other party was thinking, and reminded him: "I know you are worried that those players will vote for the grandson of the emperor, but in This kind of choice about the throne is not determined by personal likes and dislikes, but by interests! Just think about it, what benefits can you give to win the support of those players?"

"What benefit? I don't have any rights or money, and you even lent me the money to buy exercises and elixirs last time. I really don't know what benefits I can offer to let those players choose Support me!" However, Hai Zijing deserved to be that famous elm bump, even though Su Li had already reminded him, this person still didn't know what to do.

Seeing the other party's stupid appearance, Su Li really didn't know whether it would be a blessing or a curse for the Hanhai Empire after she helped the other party ascend the throne, but in the end she still decided to help the other party for the sake of fighting side by side with her in the end. The other side.

"You don't have power or money now, but you will have it after you become the throne! Can't you do such a low-level operation as an empty glove white wolf? For example, Wu Ming has always wanted to get himself an official However, due to bloodsickness, he failed to catch up with the previous battle, and now he only has a knight title. If you promise him that you can help the other party get a formal noble title after you take the position, the other party Can I support you!"

Hearing Su Li's example, Hai Zijing finally became enlightened, and thanked Su Li repeatedly.

"Su Li, thank you very much this time. Let me tell you, how did you grow your head? You are so smart. If I had you as a military advisor by my side, how could I be kicked out of the imperial capital! Troops, this military advisor seems to be There are no women, why don't you just be my queen? Then I can think of you every day and ask for advice!"

"Go to hell!" Hearing the last words of the other party, Su Li's face suddenly changed with anger, kicked him out with a flying kick, and fell into the water with a plop.

But Hai Zijing is a master sword master no matter what, so how could he be injured by Su Li's kick without fighting spirit!Soon his head reappeared from the river, but this time he didn't dare to provoke Su Li again. After wiping his face with water, he went to solicit votes from those fantasy space players he was familiar with after all.

At the same time, Hopena was also trying to find a way to canvass for his grandson!Relying on his contacts, he quickly invited all the nobles above viscount and above in the fleet to his flagship, and then made a lot of promises to these nobles at the dinner while having breakfast. For the benefit, there is only one requirement, and that is to choose to support the emperor's grandson Hai Xiaobao in the voting at the meeting.

The reason why Hopna chose to win over these big nobles first is also very simple, that is, these big nobles with relatively high titles have always had a great say in the noble circle, and those low-level nobles generally followed They walked together.As for those knights, most of them are even subordinates of these great nobles, so they are even more on the same front as these great nobles.As long as these great nobles are dealt with, the victory is basically settled.

If it was before, Hopner's move to get rid of these big nobles first might be correct, but the problem is that in this fleet, the situation is a bit special, and there are not many big nobles with titles above viscount. There are only a few dozen or so, and more importantly, most of the large number of low-level nobles and knights such as barons and viscounts have no affiliation with these great noble knights.

The reason why this happened is thanks to the invasion of the orcs and the Iron Bear Empire!Because these knights and low-level nobles who were promoted not long ago are the players who participated in the previous expedition.It is precisely because of the illustrious military exploits made when resisting the orcs that these previously unfounded players in the fantasy space were able to be promoted to real nobles in such a short period of time, although most of them were viscounts and barons. It's just a small nobleman.Among them, Su Li, who was originally a baron, has been promoted to an earl.However, this can only be said to be a special case. After all, the Su family has entered the circle of nobles before, and there is still some energy in this circle. Then the Su family saw that this generation has such an uplifting Su Li. The descendants, of course, helped him to operate at full capacity, which allowed Su Li to be promoted to earl after making a lot of great contributions.
