Throne Steps

The color of silver and vermilion announced that Cervantes was officially the heir, which actually expressed their decision to side with Saenz.

In fact, when the nonfiction literature came out, the matter was already settled.Vermillion's willingness to let Cervantes speak with his real name is actually a compliment to Saenz, the person who commanded the rescue and siege, and it also reflects a determination to advance and retreat with Saenz.

At the same time, other forces that were involved in the attack on the great nobles were also assigned to Saenz's faction by the way.This incident was relatively sudden and quite passive, but who made the pure white Patriarch announce the time of the purification ceremony so hard to guard against?The attack on the big nobles is not over yet, and it is impossible to quit halfway through. They have been bowing their heads to Saenz's forces all day long, so these people have no choice but to acquiesce to their "faction".

As a result, the color of Cang Hei took a side in the struggle of other people's families, which is rare in hundreds of years.

But it is not enough for these people to choose sides, or in other words, it is not enough for many people to choose sides.It is impossible for Saenz and Vagcheno to tear each other apart completely, and it is impossible for Saenz to really stab his biological father with a sword and force him to hand over the position of Patriarch.That is to say, no matter how many people are standing, there is still little hope of causing the influence of changing the Patriarch in a short period of time.

This makes it necessary to mention how the new Patriarch came to power in the past.

"How?" Li Chen half-closed his eyes and smiled, "Your Excellency Cervantes, the new heir, don't you want to answer this question?"

Cervantes stared at him expressionlessly: "You don't have to cheat with me."

Li Chen shrugged: "You asked me to analyze the situation, I'm just taking it step by step."

"Don't say that I want you to teach, I just want to hear your thoughts."

"Okay, listen to my thinking, can you cooperate with my thinking?"

"...From the heir to the head of the family, there are usually two ways." Cervantes didn't want to quarrel with him, and responded as if giving up, "One is that the original head of the family dies, and the family submits an application to the king for the successor. , the king agrees and presides over the canonization ceremony; there is another kind where the original patriarch is still alive but is willing to abdicate, that is, the patriarch himself submits an application for the successor's canonization, and the king agrees and presides over the canonization ceremony."

Li Chen said happily, "What if you don't become the head of the family from the heir?"

Cervantes frowned: "Don't bother me with irrelevant things."

"Okay, then let's talk about the heir becoming the head of the family." Li Chen said, "There is actually only one difference between the two ways you mentioned, and that is who will submit the application. But the problem is that the step of submitting the application Is it important?"

Cervantes wondered: "Why is it not important? If the application is not submitted, how will the king approve it?"

"I have here a sample of official documents issued by the royal family for the seal of the new head of the family." Li Chen stretched out his palm and spread it upwards, and a paper bag of documents appeared in his hand.He opened it, took out a piece of paper and put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Cervantes: "Look. The beginning of the official document says 'by the king's order', not 'at the request of the XXX family'."

Cervantes didn't pick up the paper at all, just glanced at it, and replied: "Of course I know. In order to maintain the imperial power, all royal documents basically start with this...but so what?"

Li Chen smiled: "Let me ask you, who has seen that application?"

"Who has seen it..." Cervantes frowned, "The family that applied, and the royal family that received the application, have all seen it."

Li Chen said again: "Then let me ask you again, do you care about what the original application looks like when you see such an official document?"

Cervantes replied: "The results are out, who cares about that."

"That's why I said that the application is not necessarily important." Li Chen stretched out his hand and tapped his finger on the official document, "Leaving aside all the reality that power does not matter, and relationships do not matter, theoretically speaking, the emperor's golden words are the law. He Whoever is the head of the family is the head of the family. Once this piece of paper comes out, who in the world will care where the application is?"

Cervantes was taken aback: "You mean..."

"I just asked you, if a person is not an heir, but he becomes the head of the family; or if a person has made great achievements, he wants to become a nobleman, become the head of the family..." Li Chen paused, "In Retia, this matter How will it be handled?"

Cervantes murmured: "The king confers...!"

"Correct." Li Chen picked up the official document and showed it in the direction of Cervantes, "To become the head of the family, what you really need, and the only thing you need, is the seal of the king."

Cervantes stared at the rubbings for several seconds, frowned and said, "Are you serious? Your Highness, he will..."

"Whether it is true or not, we will wait and see."

The official document disappeared in Li Chen's hands.

Li Chen came to the territory of Silver and Vermilion, firstly to see Cervantes' physical condition, and secondly, under the command of Saenz, to make sure that Cervantes did not mess himself up after becoming the heir.

Anyway, although Lichen still belongs to Black Swan, the allies who are close to Saenz have long regarded him as Saenz's confidant, think tank and most trusted person.When he came to the color of silver and vermilion, the people of the color of silver and vermilion regarded it as someone sent by Saenz to inspect, and they didn't react much.

On the contrary, Li Chen felt that he was about to become a "party whip" after giving "lessons" to the colors of sea blue, prince, and silver vermilion.Not to mention anything else, what's the matter with keeping these "kids" from getting lost with the good Saenz all day long?Obviously they are all of the same generation as Saenz, okay?Where have all the family's training resources been wasted!

What Lichen didn't know was that the heirs of Meloyer and Joch were willing to listen to his analysis not only because of his pattern, but also because he was a good hand at guessing Saenz's mind.

To be reasonable, they are all big families, who doesn't have followers, who doesn't have think tanks?But no matter how smart the think tank is, no matter how good at making money, it is extremely difficult for Saenz to understand him better than the people around him.What's even more rare is that it is impossible for Saenz's other confidants to see him whenever he wants, and only Li Chen has an unexpectedly high degree of freedom.He is a black swan, not in Saenz's organization, most of the time he can go wherever he wants, and Saenz doesn't care about him.

Generally speaking, when Saenz takes care of him, it's time for big news.

When Li Chen came to Silver Vermilion, he also brought Black Swan's own doctor and pharmacist. They are very good at checking for hallucinogenic toxins, especially when "Song of the Siren" is the main ingredient.Although both Saenz and Yin Zhuzhise's own medical team said that Cervantes had been successfully weaned, Li Chen still proposed to let the Black Swan people take a look, and Saenz agreed.

After passing the inspection, Li Chen gave Cervantes a document.

Cervantes turned to the first page and looked at it: "Why didn't you take it out earlier?"

"What do you think?" Li Chen glanced at him, "He originally wanted to solve it by himself, but I begged you for it. If you don't thank me, just ask me?"

Cervantes was silent for a few seconds.What he has in his hand is a copy of the cultivation base information of "Song of the Siren", or, in other words, the information of the base where the Alchemy Group tried to cultivate the "Song of the Siren" for the purpose of making medicine.The information clearly states the location and situation of the base, basically waiting for someone to destroy it.Now that Li Chen gave the information to Cervantes, he made it clear that he wanted to give him the credit for destroying the cultivation base.

This credit was directly "robbed" from Saenz.

Cervantes finally couldn't help asking, "Why are you helping me like this?"

"I help you? Well, although I helped you too, I was actually helping him." Li Chen replied, "What he wants to be now is the 'Patriarch', not the 'God of War', there is no need to do everything Use your own strength to go out, and you don't need to continue to emphasize your own strength in people's impressions.

"And you are the protagonist who is most suitable for this 'revenge' drama, and you just need to stand up like this, who will not give this to you?"

He paused, and then said: "And as I said, he is likely to put pressure on the king, but this is definitely not enough. He needs to expand his influence on the situation, including his Partners also need to be influential. As a firm member of the same faction, shouldn't you work hard to increase your reputation?"

Just like in a hand of cards, it is very difficult to win with just one king.

Cervantes didn't know if he had fallen into Li Chen's train of thought, but he felt that what Li Chen said seemed to make sense.

He somewhat understood why Saenz valued Li Chen so much.There is such a person who can completely agree with himself, and even revise the plans he has made and actively put them into action.Leaving lover's love aside, Cervantes at least agreed with this value.

Especially when he was included in Lichen's plan, he really realized that Lichen's overall view was not inferior to any think tank, not even inferior to nobles of his generation.

The character design of Cervantes, the successor of the "taint", was planned by Li Chen.

Li Chen didn't care what he was thinking, but continued: "I brought some information, you remember to teach your people how to prevent poisoning during the process of destroying the 'Song of the Siren', this is no joke."

"I know." Cervantes finally replied, with a sneer on his face, "I have been poisoned like this too, I know how terrible it is. But no matter what, it won't be worse than me. "

Li Chen glanced at him, didn't say anything, but thought in his heart that it might not be true.

If it was the most original cultivation base, maybe it would not be too serious, because the time is too short, and those people haven't mastered the cultivation method at all!However, if it was just such a boring breeding base, Saenz would be destroyed if it was destroyed, and it would be meaningless if it was destroyed silently.

now...

Li Chen glanced at the information in Cervantes' hands calmly: the cultivation base written on the information was "processed" by the black swan!

[The author has something to say]: By the way, I almost put this chapter in my phone and forgot to copy it out hahahahahaha, do you need to guide me on the matter of cultivating the song of the siren before Black Swan?Just point and forget: Chapter 163 Jinwuzang "Jiao"
