Chapter 61: The Smoke of Gunpowder Fills the Air
The light fell from the sky, piercing the thick dark clouds, transparent and dazzling, the white dove waved its wings and flew high in the light, reflecting the stagnant water on the ground, the seven-colored rainbow light loomed in the sky, and the rain was over, and Snowal's rainy day finally ushered in a brief pause. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On such a sunny day, a new piece of news came out of Snowal, which instantly caused a sensation throughout Resnot, that is, the royal family of Resnot finally realized the important reason for the people, and the eldest prince, who has always advocated opposing the people's election, finally compromised, changed the normal way to respect the people's election, and will officially hold the election in the name of the royal family. This means that people's votes are no longer petty, but every vote has the potential to determine the future master of the country, although the announcement issued by the eldest prince also mentioned that the election results will only be used as an important reference, but for people it no longer matters, they now care about who is more suitable to be the future master of the country.
The election is divided into two parts: primary and re-election. Even if the wishes of the people were fully respected, not everyone was eligible to participate in the election, and the candidates were the five city lords, the eldest prince and the second prince, who had received the most votes before. Every citizen of Resnot has the right to vote, but each person only has the right to vote once, if it appears, each ballot has a magician cast a specific spell, when the citizen touches the ballot, its fingerprints will be recorded on the paper, the same vote will be considered a false vote will not be counted, that is, if a person has two or more votes, then it will be considered invalid, and at the same time, due to punishment, lose the original voting qualification. Since the election is officially held and the pre-election will last for ten days, and the votes of each candidate will be announced once a day for these ten days, and after ten days, the two people with the highest number of votes will enter the re-election, and the remaining five will be eliminated and disqualified from voting. As for the semi-finals, it will also last for ten days, and the high and low votes will be announced every day.
With the official start of the election, Ling Chen was also busy, he began to travel around the major city-states to make speeches, canvassing for himself, the previous measures of the eldest prince had obvious effects at this time, among the candidates, except for Ling Chen and Oath, the rest of the few were not interested in this election at all, and ignored it, the most optimistic of the previous city lords, the Luoli city lord, was also imprisoned in prison because of the corpse hiding incident, not to mention whether he could become a prince, whether he could get out of the prison alive was a problem.
At this time, the performances of Luo Li and Ling Chen have changed. In this preliminary match, the two brothers behaved very harmoniously, and as rivals, instead of hurting each other, they agreed with each other's views from time to time, and said that if they became kings, they would definitely help the brothers achieve his goals. Time passed quickly, ten days passed quickly, as the two brothers expected, everything went very smoothly, although the specific number of votes is still being reviewed and confirmed, but according to the statistics of several consecutive days, they are already sure to win.
Tired and returned to his house, Ling Chen sat in his comfortable chair, and indeed followed Fei Ying's advice, it was so wise to arrange a short few days of rest after the pre-selection, it was really tiring to run around Resnot in just ten days.
"But Your Highness, you can't let up yet. Lin Hou sat opposite Ling Chen: "Although His Highness's current votes have reached the second place, many factors are because the five city lords shared the votes that the eldest prince deserves, and the eldest prince himself is also helping His Highness canvass for votes to have today's results, but even so, the gap between His Royal Highness and the eldest prince is still not small, and when it comes to the second election, he will not think about being so kind now." ”
Lin Hou said the truth, Ling Chen naturally knew, but now Ling Chen just wanted to be quiet, he had to admit that he was used to being lazy, and it was really tiring once he was diligent.
"Your Highness?" Finding Ling Chen's distraction again, Lin Hou gently shook Ling Chen's body and pulled his meaning back: "I think we'd better present it to discuss the next thing." If you're going to give a speech, it's best to prepare early. ”
"Let's do it!"
"What?" This time it was Lin Hou's turn to be stunned: "Who does His Highness plan to do it to?"
In any case, he can't let Oath concentrate on him, so he must keep attracting Swearfall's attention. Thinking in his heart, he took out the list that he had confessed from his arms, and lightly tapped the name of the Minister of Finance, Yin Ying Man: "I promised you that I would rescue the Lord of Luoli City." You tell Fei Ying to start with Ying Man. ”
Lin Hou's eyes lit up: "Understood." ”
The Minister of Finance, but he manages the finances of the entire country, and he will not simply break this arm, and if he is attacked, he will definitely try his best to protect him......
Ling Chen put the list away, this national speech, he still has a very obvious understanding of himself, among the five big city-states, because he has been in Gothic for a period of time, only the people there have a good impression of him, and the people of Resnoth obviously have some people who recognize themselves because of their recent performance, but the other three city-states, he can be said to have no advantage, he cannot deny the fact that in the eyes of most people, Resnot is the king in their hearts, and Ling Chen knows that such a view is not easy to change. In that case, then why should I try to change their minds? Oath has the advantage of Oath, and I also have my advantage: "Is Xiaoqiong back?"
"Not yet, but it should be a few days. Lin Hou said, thinking for a while, "Your Highness, there is one more thing, Yuqi Steinty has officially taken office. ”
If Lin Hou didn't have anything, Ling Chen still forgot a little: "How is she doing?"
Although as a daughter, the merit is not enough, but His Highness's vision is really good, and basically the soldiers of the Order Legion have already recognized the new commander.
Ling Chen knew about his relationship with the Standy family, and Fei Ying should have already told Lin Hou, "Do you think she will be used by me?"
Lin Hou shook his head: "The reason why this woman was quickly recognized by the soldiers is because she pays attention to order in everything and implements the military style of the Order Legion very well, and because of this, if Her Highness wants her to do something against the order, I think she will definitely not agree." In fact, I don't understand why His Highness wants to give up his position as the head of the Order Legion at such a critical moment. Doesn't that weaken your own strength?"
"For His Majesty he will not allow a prince with military power to participate in the election for the throne. If I can't give up my place as soon as possible, I think Your Majesty will also vacate me, so of course I have to choose someone I approve of to take my place. ”
"I see, but then all our advantages in the military have become smaller. ”
Ling Chen shook his head, even if he no longer has a position, his reputation will not change, and what he needs now is not military power, but support. military power, he doesn't want to rebel against the palace.
Fei Ying left Ling Chen's residence and did not go home immediately, but went around a few streets to Ice Blue Dream, and at some point, he has become a regular customer of this shop.
As usual, he came to the same table and waited for his opponent, but unlike before, a long time passed, and his opponent did not appear.
With a puzzled look, she looked at the clerk on the side, but the clerk didn't give her any answer.
"This gentleman, it's boring to see you sitting alone, why don't I come and play with you!" A bewitching girl remembered in Lin Hou's ear, and a beautiful girl sat opposite him.
The brows furrowed slightly, but the girl ignored him and skillfully launched the cards: "Fei Ying asked me to tell you that you were followed." ”
His eyes jumped, although the woman in front of him, Lin Hou confirmed that he had not seen her, but the voice still remembered. Lin Hou behaved calmly at the moment, picked up the card in his hand, and said softly: "Then how should I contact him?"
The girl said, "If it's not important, I can pass on the word for you, and if it's important, then he will come to you on his own initiative." You will dock with me in the future. ”
Lin Hou nodded lightly: "Very important." ”
The girl put the cards in the pool: "Sir, your gambling skills are not good, give money quickly." ”
Lin Hou shook his head, these two people are really alike, they will only come to squeeze me one day, and put a gold coin on the table: "Are you serving His Highness, or are you just doing Fei Ying a favor?"
"If only I was a friend. Nuo Yan smiled and said, "Will Fei Ying let me know so many things?"
"In that case, I'm relieved. After speaking, Lin Hou stood up and left the Ice Blue Dream. He didn't go anywhere else, he went straight home, he knew that many people in the palace knew that he and Ling Chen were the closest, since someone started to follow him, then it was very likely that someone was ready to start dealing with Ling Chen.
No, judging from the current situation, the eldest prince and His Royal Highness are still in a state of mutual cooperation. However, even if the eldest prince does not give the will, it does not mean that the rest of his group will not target His Royal Highness, and those who have the right to do such things must have a high status in the eldest prince's group. Thinking back to the list left by the eldest prince, the people who supported the eldest prince were really all over the palace, and under the prime minister, the three ministers all served the eldest prince. Suddenly, Fei Ying frowned, judging from the list given by Jia Chenyu, most of them were under the jurisdiction of the prime minister, and the one who ordered him to investigate Luo Li was indeed subordinate to the General Division, and these people did not have the right to mobilize the whip to let them do things. The figure of a fox clan appeared in Lin Hou's mind, and the kings, prime ministers, general directors and generals of the past dynasties rarely participated, because they were already at the pinnacle of what they could achieve, and once they miscalculated in the selection of the king, it was easy to recover. Therefore, they usually participate directly, but this year's general secretary is indeed a fox clan, and there is no grand family in Renthnot, thinking about it, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, and he had already walked to his own door, but he didn't enter the house, and walked towards Ling Chen's new home in a reincarnation.
The Heffy Hall is very large and is divided into several parts, the front hall is the one mentioned earlier, because it is headed by Luo Li, where the officials of the city-state of Snoar work, and in the middle is the main hall of the royal palace, and there are two halls on the left and right, the one on the left is under the jurisdiction of the prime minister, the Wen Palace, and the right is the palace of the prison where the chief secretary is located.
In the palace of the prison country, the chief secretary Qianlu Crimson sat in the middle of the main hall, and a man in black walked into the hall: "Lord Crimson, people have been arranged, follow Lin Hou White." ”
Thousand Scales didn't make the slightest movement, as if he hadn't heard it: "Go down, don't let Your Highness know about this matter." ”
