The royal capital, the residence of the Iron Hand, nine o'clock in the morning.

Today is a good day, in this pollution-free world, the blue sky and white clouds are particularly vivid, and the air is very fresh.

Whoa......

The sound of water came from the courtyard, and Su Xiao, who had just woken up, pushed open the door, and the scene in front of him made him a little surprised.

"The two of them don't need to rest?"

Su Xiao looked at the two little Loli who were cleaning in the courtyard, and then at the Bu Bu Wang who slept until he was drooling in the room, and his diligence was not in the same dimension at all.

"Woo~"

Bu Bu Wang in his sleep let out a whimper, looking at the happy expression, it should have been a sweet dream.

"My lord, you wake up, breakfast is ready, today's breakfast is ......"

The sister in the little Lori came quickly, her name was Di Lulu, and her sister was called Si Lulu, and I don't know which slave trader's name was given, the two sisters are more than 99% similar in appearance, with the same hair color, height, and body shape, if it weren't for the different hairstyles, Su Xiao couldn't tell the two sisters apart at all.

Su Xiao did not identify the two sisters by their names, but by their hairstyles, the elder sister had a double ponytail, and the younger sister had a slanted ponytail, which was easy to distinguish.

"Breakfast is lighter."

Su Xiao killed a lot of people last night, and now he smells of blood everywhere he smells.

"Yes."

The two little Loli immediately went to arrange, judging from the current situation, these two sisters are very useful, first of all, the two of them solved the food problem, and secondly, they can also clean the courtyard + warm the bed + count the accounts, etc.

Waking up Bu Bu Wang, Su Xiao ate a breakfast that was not very rich, but it was full of weight, he took Bu Bu Wang out of the mansion, and Eminem couldn't enter the palace because of his size and appearance.

This morning, Su Xiao received another summons from the old king, or rather, all the middle and upper-level officials in the royal capital were summoned, because the first batch of princes and princesses had arrived.

This time, there were ten heirs to the throne who rushed to the royal capital, six princes and four princesses.

The old king has a total of 49 descendants, and as for illegitimate children, it is a lot, after all, the old king has many women, as long as his body can withstand it, it is only a matter of chance to get an heir.

Of course, illegitimate children are not eligible to inherit the throne, and only the heirs born to the queens are the direct descendants of the old king.

Of course, there is not only one queen, but all of them have their own backgrounds, either the daughter of a powerful minister, or the daughter of some wealthy merchant.

The sum of the 36 queens represents a vast network of power, with the old king at the center and the powerful ministers and wealthy businessmen around it, and it is these queens who connect the two.

They are an important part of the composition of power, they don't have real power in their hands, or they can't have real power in their hands, they just need to be a bond, and once they have power, it's not good.

The queen who has no real power is basically in a state of soy sauce in the struggle for power, and the new king's ascension to the throne has little impact on them, and the new king also needs to use them to maintain the surrounding ministers and wealthy businessmen.

The kingship is like a spider's web, the more complex the structure becomes the further you go to the periphery, and the old king is the spider in the center of the web, and it has to shake the web often to see where there is any damage, and to know if there is prey on the web.

Of course, all of the 49 heirs of the old king will not participate in the struggle for power, and 18 of them have given up this power struggle, not because they are not ambitious, but because they have been squeezed out of the game in advance and lost the capital to compete, but they will also rush to the royal capital.

The remaining 31 people, 16 of them have an attitude, that is, don't provoke me casually, they will not give up on their own initiative, they will not compete for power, if any prince or princess has an absolute advantage in the seizure of power, they will support that side, and strive to get an idle position with a large official position and no real power after the other party succeeds to the throne, which is commonly known as the prince.

The 16 soy sauce princes or princesses are all relatively young, and they know that they can't compete with the brothers, so they choose to give up for the time being.

Don't think that these people are completely harmless, they are just harmless in most cases, and if the opportunity arises, they will become the next king, of course, this is very unlikely.

After layers of elimination, before the power struggle began, there were only 15 competitors left, and these people knew from their youth that all their brothers, younger brothers, and sisters were enemies, and if they did not kill or drain the power, they would be the last to die.

Of the remaining 15 contenders, five are the favorites, and if nothing else, the new king will emerge from these five.

Su Xiao obtained a piece of information from the kingdom's financial officer, Rowan Harvey, which was the information of these five people, and this information was extremely credible, and the information was as follows:

The information that Rowan Harvey got was very interesting, and it clearly marked the comprehensive abilities of the five, which made Su Xiao have some understanding of the five 'seeded players'.

The eldest prince has the strongest financial resources and is good at governing the territory.

The third prince has a wide network in the military, and the army commanders in various regions support him, which can be described as a response.

The Seven Princes have the title of Kingdom Seal, and most of the holy warriors support him, and there are many strong men under him.

The second princess has a wide range of contacts, politicians, the military, and underground forces, and she is also the leader of a large underground organization.

The sixth princess is ruthless, her financial resources are not strong, her connections are not wide, her leadership skills are average, and the only thing she is good at is to kill competitors.

"These five people...... Interesting. ”

Su Xiao threw the information in his hand to Bu Buwang.

"Bubu, who do you like?"
