Chapter 105 The Battle for the Throne

"What happened just now..." Seeing that Ling Zhendong had gone far away, Su Li wanted to explain to Hai Zijing why he did what he did just now.

But before she could speak, Hai Zijing said self-righteously: "I understand! Thank you so much. In order to prevent Ling Zhendong from marrying his daughter to me, I asked you to perform a scene with me. Only then did I realize that this emperor is really not that easy to be!"

Su Li couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words, and hurriedly clarified: "Don't feel too good about yourself, I'm not doing it for you! I didn't want my friend to fall into the fire pit, so I came forward to stop this marriage!"

"Oh! So that's the case! Then you won't take care of me when I marry other women in the future, will you?" After hearing the other party's explanation, Hai Zijing became worried.

"I don't know how to do that! I don't know other women, except Ling Zhixuan, you can marry whoever you want, I don't care at all!"

After Su Li explained his intentions to Hai Zijing, Qian Duoduo came to Hai Zijing with a few of his men.

Seeing this big fat man who beat him so hard and almost made him collapse, Hai Zijing instinctively wanted to run away.

But Su Li grabbed him and whispered in his ear: "Why run! Soon you will become the emperor of the Hanhai Empire. It is their jurisdiction that should be feared!"

Under Su Li's pull, Hai Zijing didn't make it. After hearing the other party's words, he felt that it made sense, so he tried his best to put on a majestic look, facing Qian Duoduo who was almost walking in front of him, and asked He said: "Why are you looking for me, you fat man? You know, I will soon become the emperor of the Hanhai Empire! I am preparing for my enthronement ceremony!"

"Your Majesty just found out about this, and I came here to congratulate His Highness the Third Prince. At the same time, I plan to contribute 100 million gold coins to fund the operation of the empire after you ascend the throne!" Qian Duoduo took out a spar card from his pocket as he spoke.

Hearing the huge amount of 100 million gold coins, Hai Zijing, who had been a poor man for half his life, was so excited that he almost snatched the spar card from the other party.To be honest, what he lacks most now is indeed money. Since he has been wandering around since he was kicked out of the imperial capital, he has no savings and property, and his usual expenses are all provided by his personal guard. His own money has long been spent, and he must be the hardest prince in history.And after becoming the emperor, there must be a lot of money, such as paying officials' salaries, soldiers' salaries, and rewarding those who have done meritorious service. If there is less money, it is really not enough.He actually wanted to ask Su Li to borrow some more. After all, he heard that the pet shop that the other party opened in Cannes seemed quite profitable.

But he never expected that before he asked Su Li to borrow money, Qian Duoduo, his former enemy, would take the initiative to invest in him.This made him happy, but at the same time he was a little bit surprised, suspecting that this fat man had some conspiracy, so he didn't dare to take the money for a while.

Su Li saw Hai Zijing's hesitation from the side, so he stepped forward to collect the money for him, and then replied to Qian Duoduo: "I accepted the money on behalf of the third prince. We will keep this investment in mind, and when the situation improves, there will be rewards!"

When Qian Duoduo saw that it was Su Li who took his money, he looked at Hai Zijing with puzzled eyes.

At this time, Hai Zijing also recovered from his astonishment, and explained: "I have made an agreement with Miss Su Li that after I ascend the throne and become the emperor of the Hanhai Empire, I will make her a queen, so her words represent my if!"

"Oh! So that's the case! Then congratulations to Su Li's niece!" Qian Duoduo was also really happy for Su Li when he heard the words, after all, it can be said that the other party was grown up by him, and now he can have such a future. , he is really honored to be the other party's old neighbor!
Soon, it was noon, and many nobles and knights came to Ling Zhendong to vote. In order to allow everyone to vote according to their preferences, this time the vote was anonymous.

Ling Zhendong, who had known the voting results for a long time, had a dark face, and looked at Su Li who was standing beside Hai Zijing with hatred.

It has to be said that even an old fox like Ling Zhendong's judgment will be affected when it's about his own interests. Otherwise, he would have been able to see that Su Li and Ling Zhendong were just acting.

After all, as long as you observe carefully, you can see that the two people had no eye contact at all before, and Hai Zijing didn't even dare to touch Su Li's hand.This appearance is obviously not the proper behavior of a man and woman who are about to become husband and wife.

And Huopuna, looking at Ling Zhendong's ugly face, thought that the other party was worried about him because he also discovered that he had failed to win over many low-level nobles and knights!This made him feel very ashamed. The other party gave him a chance to win the throne, but he was one step behind because he made the move a little late. If he could make a move before Hai Zijing, he would definitely be the first to win. Those of low-level nobles and knights.It's a pity that it's too late now!It's all because he didn't do a thorough investigation beforehand. He didn't know that many low-level nobles and knights were actually of their own sect and were not affected by the big nobles he had attracted.

However, there were Ling Zhendong and Huo Puna at the scene, and the faces of the others were fine, especially those fantasy space players who had been promised a lot of benefits by Hai Zijing, looking at the ballot box expectantly, waiting After the voting ended, Ling Chendong announced the result,

After the last knight stepped forward to vote, although Ling Zhendong was extremely reluctant, he still had to follow the procedure to start announcing the supporting candidates one by one.

"Third Prince!"

"Grandson!"

"Three Princes"

"It's still the third prince!"

At the beginning, there were still some people who voted for the emperor's grandson, but later on, almost all of them voted for Hai Zijing. The reason is simple, that is, apart from the relationship with Hope Except for the few big nobles who were relatively close, the other nobles and knights all unprincipled and voted for Hai Zijing, the third prince, after they realized that the situation was wrong in advance.

As a result, in the end, the grandson of the emperor only received a measly seven votes, and the other thousands of votes were all given to the third prince by Haizi Jing.

In this way, there is no suspense about the ownership of the throne. Hai Zijing will legitimately inherit the throne of the Hanhai Empire and become the new emperor of this precarious empire.

As for Hai Zijing, who was reminded by Su Li, after Ling Zhendong announced the final voting result, he did not appear too excited. He kept a calm face as much as possible. He waved to the surrounding nobles and knights who chose to support him.

At the same time, Hopner couldn't stay any longer, and the emperor's grandson who was pulling him left the scene in a hurry.

But now, no one will care about this loser anymore. After all, political struggles are so cruel, not to mention that this is a battle for the throne of an empire!Hai Zijing did not pursue and punish the admiral who opposed him immediately after winning the final victory, which was already a very tolerant approach.

Ling Zhendong looked at Huo Puna who was leaving, his eyes flickered, and then he followed.

Seeing this scene, Su Li waved and called two generals of the Shenyin Assault Regiment, and asked the two generals to follow Ling Zhendong secretly to see if the old fox was planning any conspiracy.

And Hai Zijing, who was in the center of the crowd, announced something to everyone with a smile on his face at this time: "While everyone is here, I want to announce one thing now, that is, after I officially ascend the throne, , she will marry Su Li and be canonized as queen!"

Hearing the news announced by Hai Zijing, most of them were extremely surprised. Among them, the Su family who belonged to Su Li and Su Zhan, Su Li's cheap father, all had expressions of ecstasy on their faces. They really didn't Thinking about it, their Su family has been in the aristocratic circle for so many years, but in the end they rely on Su Li, a little girl, to ascend to the sky!
After the surprise, Su Zhan immediately went to find his daughter. Finally, after searching for a while, he found Su Li at the outermost edge of the crowd.

"What are you still doing here! Go over and say a few words to everyone, let those nobles and knights get to know you!"

Facing Su Zhan's tugging, Su Li had a look of helplessness, and at the same time couldn't help but blame Hai Zijing in her heart. She and the other party simply played a scene to send Ling Zhendong away. Why did this guy have to be so high-profile? Tell this in front of everyone!
On the other side, Ling Zhendong finally caught up with Hopena, and then called him to stop.

Seeing that it was Ling Zhendong who came, Huo Puna also stopped, and asked him: "The matter has been settled, is there anything the city lord Ling Zhendong wants me to do?"

"General Hopna, in my opinion, there is still a turning point for this matter! Although Hai Zijing temporarily won the support of the nobles by promising various titles and fiefdoms, he still has a huge fatal flaw, that is, he has no Money! You must know that once he officially becomes the emperor of the Hanhai Empire, he will naturally have to bear all the expenses of the royal family, and even if it is just to maintain the current regime in exile, the expenses will not be small! When the salaries of the soldiers and soldiers cannot be paid out, how many people do you think will continue to follow him?"

Being woken up by Ling Zhendong, Huopuna suddenly felt that the matter was not going to turn around, and his face gradually turned cloudy.

"Thank you, City Lord Ling Zhendong, for reminding me, but I don't think we should take any action now. Let's just wait for that Hai Zijing to make a fool of himself. When the situation is about to be completely out of control, we will come forward. At that time, those nobles and The soldiers will probably regard us as the savior of the empire!"

"You're right! That's it, let's just wait and see how it gets better!"

After talking with Hopena, Ling Zhendong quickly returned to his room. As a noble with the title of Viscount, Ling Zhendong still had a room specially arranged for him, although it was not too big.After all, it is now on the battleship, and the space is not plentiful, so it can only be squeezed a little bit.

Seeing his father coming back, Ling Zhixuan, who also just came back, stepped forward and asked him: "Father, why did you look so ugly when you announced the voting results earlier? And I see that there seems to be a conflict between you and Su Li. Some discord!"

"Hmph! You have to ask your best friend about this matter. If she hadn't blocked you, you would be the new emperor and empress!" Hearing his daughter mentioning Su Li, Ling Zhendong had just suppressed her. The anger that went down was suddenly picked up again, and he replied to his daughter angrily.

And Ling Zhixuan was not a fool, he immediately understood what was going on, she was different from her father, she was not so obsessed with power, so she immediately guessed that Su Li did this for her own benefit.For a moment, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

What makes her happy is that her good friend really sacrificed a lot for her own happiness!She really made a bosom friend.The sad thing is that because of this incident, her father has created a huge gap with Su Li.You must know that the relationship between the two was very good before!Su Li and his father have also cooperated many times, and both parties have benefited a lot from it.And now that there is a estrangement, the two families may not have any contact in the future.

In order to ease the relationship between Su Li and his father, Ling Zhendong hesitated for a moment, but decided to persuade him: "Father, I think Su Li did this for my own good! Hai Zijing is a mediocre person with a bad temper. He is irritable, and he is a brave and foolish man when he fights. Such a person is really not a good match! Father can definitely choose a better person as the object of marriage!"

"Shut up! No matter how mediocre this Hai Zijing is, no matter how brave and foolhardy he is, he is now the emperor of the Hanhai Empire. Who else is better than him! Are you a girl with hard wings? Listen to me!" But at this time Ling Zhendong was angry, how could he listen to his daughter's words!After scolding Ling Zhixuan for a few words, he immediately drove him out.

Ling Zhixuan, who was kicked out, didn't feel much wronged. After all, she was born in such a family, and she had long since realized that she would dedicate herself to the prosperity of the family, so it was a pity that her father used her as a tool for political marriage. totally acceptable.At the same time, she never thought of disobeying her father, she just wanted to ease the relationship between her father and Su Li.In the end, it brought such a result.

After sighing, Ling Zhixuan decided to go to his best friend Su Li and ask him how to improve their relationship.After all, in her impression, the other party would always have some wonderful ideas in his mind, and he was much smarter than her.
