Chapter 36: The Queen of the Arctic Kingdom

The Arctic Kingdom, the Palace of the Arctic King.

In the main hall of the court, Lan Ruobing sat on a throne carved from ice crystals, wearing a light blue ice crystal phoenix crown and a white royal robe embroidered with gold silk dragons and phoenixes.

It's just that behind the throne, there is still her grandmother listening to the government, and there are two major families in the court to control the government, although Lan Ruobing can sit on the throne, but when it comes to power, I am afraid that it is not as good as a small city lord.

The catastrophe twelve years ago greatly damaged the vitality of the Arctic Kingdom, and the king and queen were also assassinated.

It was Lan Ruobing's grandmother who turned the tide and blocked the pursuit of the Wuhun Palace, which saved the core of the Arctic Kingdom. But I didn't expect that after the rest of my life, the factional dispute in the Arctic Kingdom was still not broken.

The Bingbi Emperor Scorpion Family Leng Clan, the Ice Bear King Family Han Clan actually wanted to take the opportunity to seize power and compete for posts, and the civil strife in the Arctic Kingdom intensified. In the end, Lan Ruobing's grandmother once again turned the tide and lifted the six-year-old Lan Ruobing to the throne against all odds.

However, the Arctic royal family was also forced to cede many interests.

For example, before Lan Ruobing came of age, the power system of the Arctic Kingdom changed from an absolute monarchy to a cabinet system, and the greatest power of the entire Arctic Kingdom was in the cabinet composed of the royal family, the Leng family, and the Han family.

The Cabinet is composed of nine members, three from each faction, and all deliberations on military affairs must be approved by more than half of the cabinet members.

The cabinet system has been running for 12 years, and in the past 12 years, although the people of the Arctic Kingdom are not in harmony, the government decrees are well understood and all kinds of waste are flourishing, and the high-level officials of the Arctic Kingdom have also deeply realized the benefits of the cabinet system.

Therefore, for the matter of handing over power back to Lan Ruobing when he became an adult, the court of the Arctic Kingdom unanimously opposed it.

Only Lan Ruobing's grandmother is still arguing with reason, wanting to help her granddaughter keep the power of the Arctic Kingdom. However, relying on the strength of the Northern Ice Royal Family alone cannot change the opinion of the entire court, even if Lan Ruobing's grandmother's strength is Super Douluo, it is not easy to use.

In the court, the spokesmen of the two major families are arguing fiercely over the selection of a key position, although in the end it still needs to be approved by Grandma Lan Ruobing, but if the two families are united, the attitude of the royal family is not very important.

Therefore, whenever the other two of the three families are about to unite, the third family will definitely make trouble, and the delicate balance between the three forces can be maintained.

But now that Lan Ruobing has successfully opened the Ice and Snow Nine Examinations and become the heir to the god throne of the Ice and Snow Goddess, in the face of the gods that the Arctic Kingdom has believed in for generations, I believe that the two major families can only give in.

The voices of the two family officials arguing resounded in this hall, and they did not take the queen on the throne in the slightest. Lan Ruobing's face was serious, and the faint anger in her eyes seemed to overflow.

"The Han family has already occupied four of the twelve cities in the west, and this Cold Wind City will definitely no longer let the people of the Han family become city lords."

"The Leng family is in terms of the number of city lords, but there are two more than my Han family, and I am afraid that it is a partial generalization to just talk about the west."

……

Until the end of the court meeting, the two families have not yet determined the choice of the city lord.

Because the three agreed that for the development of the Arctic Kingdom, as long as the upper echelons reach an agreement on the core interests, no matter whether the result is good or bad, the three cannot sabotage each other's actions, which is also an important reason for the rapid development of the Arctic Kingdom in recent years, so the three forces did not fight when the court and the cabinet were deliberating, even if they were peaceful.

When the next court meeting, Lan Ruobing held her grandmother, and the thin figures of the ancestors and grandchildren were all owned by the royal family of the entire Arctic Kingdom.

Lan Ruobing was in a trance, and said angrily in her heart: "Grandma, why didn't you let me release the breath of the Ice and Snow Nine Examinations just now for these guys to see, so that there will definitely be many courtiers who support us." ”

Grandma said kindly: "Bing'er, don't worry, if the matter of the divine examination is exposed in the court today, although it can hit the arrogance of the two families, but the Wuhun Hall will also know the secret of you becoming the heir of the Ice and Snow Goddess, have you forgotten why we were attacked by the Wuhun Palace?" ”

"Tomorrow I will hold a cabinet meeting at the highest level and call those two old guys, although they have always had a disagreement with my Arctic royal family, but I still believe in their belief in the goddess of ice and snow."

Lan Ruobing said: "Well, I know grandma. ”

The Han family's mansion.

Outside a secret room, a waiter slammed the door and said, "Ancestor, there is news from the palace." ”

The heavy door of the secret room slowly opened, and in the dark secret room, there was nothing but a pile of weeds on the ground, and a few rays of light shining from above the secret room, an old man with white hair, dressed in tattered cloth, sat motionless on the weeds, and even a thin layer of dust fell on his body.

The waiter bowed and saluted: "Ancestor, the situation in the palace is similar to the past, the royal family and the Leng family are more restrained, although no one has been selected today, but the negotiation process is quite harmonious, and there is no big fight." ”

The ancestor was still motionless on the surface, but a distant voice came from the secret room: "Well, stand down." ”

The waiter's luggage is returned.

At this time, Old Ancestor's brows furrowed, "Could it be that I sensed it wrongly, or did it mean that the high-level divine examination didn't come from the two of them?" ”

"Let's just wait and see."

Leng's Mansion.

A waiter slowly exited his ancestor's room.

In the room, an old man with the same white hair frowned and said, "Let's wait and see." ”

The next day, the Arctic Palace.

The simple chamber sits in the north and faces south, it is the morning, the sun is still struggling to climb to the heights, the sun's rays illuminate the entire cabinet hall very brightly, and the warm sunlight also adds a little relaxation to the serious environment.

The huge round conference table has only nine chairs.

At this time, Lan Ruobing and her grandmother have already sat down, due to the withering of the royal family, in addition to the two of them, the members who attended the cabinet on behalf of the royal family also have an old general, this old general is already a veteran of the three dynasties of the Arctic Kingdom, loyal to the royal family, and is Lan Ruobing's most trusted person besides his grandmother.

The three of them were all dressed in palace costumes and sat upright, although the decoration style of the cabinet was very simple, but it was such a simple attic, but it was more important than the splendid court hall.

After a while, the ancestor of the Han family led the current head of the Han family and the young Tianjiao into the cabinet on a cold night.

Only half a cup of tea was passed, and the ancestor of the Leng family also arrived with the current head of the family and the young Tianjiao Leng Qingxue of the Leng family.

All nine members of the cabinet have been gathered.

Although it is said that there are nine people, everyone knows that bringing their younger generation here is just to increase their knowledge. The three young people also understood that they had a proper voting machine, so they had a good idea in their hearts, and when the fight broke out, they could just fight themselves, and leave the bargaining to the adults.

As soon as the three members of the Leng family sat down, the air pressure between the ancestor of the Han family and Grandma Lan Ruobing, who could still talk and laugh, dropped instantly, and the entire conference table seemed to have become a battlefield filled with gunpowder at this moment, which made the already low temperature of the cabinet even worse.
