Throne Steps

At the ten-person court meeting in April, someone proposed to use a vote to determine whether to pass Saenz's application, and the king agreed.But on the question of the voting range, Saenz and the people related to the Patriarch Vagcheno had been arguing endlessly, and it was difficult to reach a conclusion, so it was decided to confirm this matter again at the ten-member court meeting in May.

At this time, Vagcheno's forces had begun to win over some courtiers within the scope of the 48-member court.Obviously, the head of the family has also counted. If he only votes within the range of ten people, it will be difficult for him to win, so he should try his best to push the voting range to the Dachaohui.

"……That's it."

After reading the report, Fudexi picked up the teacup next to him to moisten his throat, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

"It's good." Li Chen spread out on the sofa to read the information, without moving his eyes to the side, "I don't think there is any problem."

Fudexi looked at him: "Obviously staying within the range of ten people has a great chance of winning, why do you have to..."

"Honey, sometimes even polls can deceive people." Li Chen covered the information in his hand on his face, "If you don't pull the prey into the trap, how can you guarantee that your gun is safe?"

"gun?"

"Oh, it's a kind of firecracker." Li Chen's voice was muffled under the information, "The Patriarch thinks he's plotting against us, so why aren't we? Just wait and see."

"You are so confident, then I will wait for the good news." Fudexi walked over and lifted the information on his face, "Then again, the purification ceremony is just around the corner, even if he succeeds, you can follow him at that time." Go up? You asked us to find someone with a five-star mission as soon as possible to keep up, right? There is no trace of this mission yet."

"...Actually, I also have a question to ask you about this matter." Li Chen turned over, spread his palms, and a stack of papers appeared in his hand, "What do you think this is?"

"...The script?" Fudsi picked it up, saw the signature on the cover, and raised his eyebrows, "'Author: Shila'? Why do you still have her things in your hand? When did this happen?"

"Look at the contents inside."

Fudexi sat down next to Li Chen and quickly flipped through the pages, but within two or three minutes, he closed the script.

"Haven't all the scripts about elves been destroyed? I personally supervised the destruction of those in the Black Swan." Fudexi narrowed his eyes, "Why do you still have it?"

"Because this is not the one that was almost staged, but the other one that she sent to me for review earlier and was killed by me." Li Chen took the script back from Fudexi, "I I stayed on by chance, and now I think... 'Swan Song of a Dead Female Writer' might be good too?"

Fu Dexi was silent for two seconds, and frowned: "Do you want to use this to tick off the high-star missions about elves?"

Li Chen smiled and said nothing, but put the script in his hand back into the storage ring.

Fudexi stared at him: "Don't think elves are so easy to talk, the 'dead female writer' is a lesson from the past."

"I know, that's why I came to ask you, instead of doing it directly." Li Chen leaned on the sofa, "This is my last resort, and what if the elves are actually looking for a way to enter the world?"

Fu Dexi glanced at him: "Are you whimsical?"

"It's just whimsical." Li Chen laughed twice, "It's hard to move an inch, can't you just think about it?"

"you……"

"Okay, that's the end of the fantasy plot." Li Chen wiped his face, stood up and stretched his body, "By the way, have you dealt with this year's tickets?"

"I was just going to ask you." Fudexi raised his eyes and looked at him, "The chairman sent a letter saying that the ticket is ready, but this year's script is not as popular as last year, so who should the ticket go to?"

"It's still worth worrying about." Li Chen withdrew his hands, "Let's leave it to the Literature Association to worry about it."

Fu Dexi glanced at him and said, "So easy? Where did your energy go in the past two years?"

Li Chen smiled: "Some things just need to be relaxed. By the way, don't forget to bring our 'private goods' in, eh?"

In May, it is reasonable to say that the court should announce the vote, but in fact, this matter has not been carried out as scheduled.

It has been analyzed before that although the king wants to shirk responsibility, he does not want to completely lose the initiative, so the king himself actually tends to vote within the range of ten people.But after the Patriarch evaluated the voting results of the Ten-person Chaohui, he wanted to expand the scope of voting to the Great Chaohui. He thought that this would have a better chance of winning.

The king was unwilling, so the owner could only use a little means to put pressure on the king.

The most obvious thing is that the two important ministers who are close to the head of the family began to say that they were sick at home and suspended the management of the affairs at hand.And because they did not authorize others to take charge of it—or imply that their subordinates would not cooperate even if they were in charge—many approval documents required for daily operations were not processed, and instructions required for daily affairs were not issued, resulting in The department immediately shut down for a few days.

Although these two important ministers returned to their posts soon, the king knew that this was the oppression given to him by the current Patriarch of Pure White.

In fact, the king is also very irritable. Changing the head of the house is obviously just a housework, but they just want to make a fuss in front of the royal family.Saenz held the military power in his hands, and the king could not turn a blind eye to the application he sent; Wagcheno could let the important ministers strike if they said they would strike, and it was difficult for the king to ignore his request.This one or two, they can do whatever they want, they just don't care about the royal family!

The prince comforted the king and said: "Father, this father and son don't care what people in the world say about them. If they say they turn against each other, they will turn against them. It can be seen that they have nothing to fear. Besides, Pure White's own family meeting can't control them, so why do you have to disturb this?" Wading in muddy water? Why don’t you just learn from other eternal colors and just watch from the sidelines.”

"You don't understand." The old king sighed, "If this matter spreads to the Dachao, it will cause even greater chaos. At that time, things will be out of our control."

The prince thought that even if there were only ten people, you would not be able to control them. Two of them were still on strike a few days ago!But he still persuaded: "But this is pure white color's own business. What's the point of you inserting it into a stalemate with pure white color? Frankly speaking, father, we may not be able to consume them .How did I get my position...Who can guarantee that they won't go back on their word?"

The king looked deeply at his son and sighed, "The imperial power is declining!"

"Father, be careful." The prince approached him and said in a low voice, "I know you want to take advantage of this to do something about Pure White, but we don't have to do it ourselves, right? Don't forget, there is Those who hold the votes are trying to trouble them..."

How could the king not understand what the prince said, but the king always thought more: "My dear little prince, you are trying to seek skin from a tiger!"

"What can we do now?" the prince smiled wryly, "I only hope that you can live your life in peace and joy."

This is actually a bit unlucky, but the king was lost in thought and didn't pay attention.He pondered for a while, then said: "Actually, it's not that I can't agree to extend the scope of voting to the Grand Court Assembly, but I'm afraid that the pure white heir will not be so resigned."

"You gave him face by accepting his application. Why can't he return your face?" The little prince replied, "Why don't you talk to him first before announcing the voting. In this way, everyone in the world It will also be seen as a sign of his respect for the royal family."

The king thought for a while: "You have seen a lot of the pros and cons of this matter, go talk to him, and then announce that the court at the end of this year will vote."

The prince lowered his head, covering the flash of light in his eyes: "Yes, father."

At the end of May, the prince made an appointment with Saenz.

At the beginning of June, the king announced that he would vote on Saenz's Patriarch's canonization order at the end of the year to confirm whether it was passed.

The news could not be concealed, and soon spread to the people, causing an uproar.

The king directly named the head of the family. Although this is rare nowadays, it is actually not too unusual.After all, when the imperial power was concentrated in the past, the king could still appoint and dismiss several patriarchs.

But right now, the first family head decided by voting may be born soon!Still the owner of the pure white color!

Some people didn't know what kind of tactic this was playing, and some people who had been following the developments of this matter "suddenly realized": "I only guessed that His Highness Saenz would fight for the position of Patriarch, but I didn't expect it to be done in such a peaceful way. It seems that although His Highness Saenz has force in his hands, he is not a person who abuses force!"

If Li Chen heard such words, he would die of laughter.

The ballot war is peaceful?This is the place where conspiracies and tricks are the most rampant and the most omnipotent!for example……

"Are you sure that the caliber of the 'poll' results has been unified?"

Li Chen flipped through the materials on the desk, two pages on the left and two pages on the right.Because there were too many, he simply didn't read, and asked Saenz the answer he wanted to know.

"Don't be so arrogant." Because Li Chen turned the table in a mess, Saenz hit him on the back of his hand with the information in his hand, "We just hope that the person who summarizes the information is a little biased, not Completely revise the data."

"First, the person who summarized the information is obviously a nail you inserted in a long time ago; second, although you just want to be biased, you want so many intelligence agencies to be uniformly biased..." Li Chen stood in front of the table, arms folded Looking at him, "Isn't this arrogant? Then tell me what is considered arrogant."

"No way, there is no wind direction now, how can you deceive people in the future?" Saenth said happily, "And this is your idea after all, I am just the implementer. When my group of confidant think tanks heard that they would vote in the Great Court, They all flocked to argue with me, what do you say?"

"Don't ask me, if you say you're going to confess me, don't play dirty with me." Li Chen paused, and then said, "All the information is very unified, will it arouse suspicion?"

"What do you want to say?" Saenz raised his eyebrows and said, "The difference in the polls has already been arranged."

"Well, I reacted too late, you are more thoughtful than me." Li Chen shrugged, "I really want to see the expressions of these people who thought they used others but were used back, after discovering the truth."

"Then it will be difficult to satisfy your wish."

Saenz smiled: "After all, some people can find out that they are being used, but some people may not be able to find out, right?"
