Chino's rhetorical question stunned everyone, and Paladin asked puzzledly, "Isn't it?" ”

Chino said lightly: "Of course not." Throughout the ages, the crown prince decided the affairs of the first king, and now he suddenly brought it to the surface, which is a violation of tradition, a very risky act, and even contrary to the political system of Doguland. It is impossible for a politically experienced king like Perseus to do such a rash thing. ”

Paladine pondered for a moment, then cautiously asked, "My lord, what does it seem to you to be the cause of all this?" ”

"Perseus must have been planning this for a long time, and he has only one purpose in bringing the matter of the crown prince to the table at this point in time—" Chino got up and walked to the table, looked at the map on the table, and said four words, "Count the henchmen." ”

"Inventory of henchmen?!" These four words are very scary in any form of government and in any era, and the people can't help but be shocked when they hear them, and they hurriedly ask, "Why do you say that?" ”

Chino picked up the baton on the side of the map and said slowly: "At first, I didn't think about this layer, I think Perseus is not working hard in his later years, and he is really willing to rule together with the monarch and the ministers to reform the kingdom... But by connecting to another force, you can get a glimpse of Pertheus's true purpose, and this force is the Crimson Church. ”

"It has been 29 years since the outbreak of the bestiality epidemic, and the Crimson Church has accumulated great prestige among the people with blood healing, and those led by the archbishop are unwilling to hand over the secret recipe of blood therapy to the royal family, which shows that they are not dedicated to the people, but have great political ambitions."

"The Crimson Church has been developed by many commoners, but they have never been able to really intervene in the rule of the kingdom, because there are very large political barriers - the hearts of the people are important, but it is useless to win the hearts of the people. In times like these, it's not unarmed commoners who can put you in power, but aristocrats and politicians with enormous resources. ”

"The Second Crimson Church suddenly appeared at the New Year's banquet this time and released the news of a new type of blood therapy, which may seriously irritate Pertheus."

"Just imagine, if the new blood healing is true, the reputation of the Crimson Church among the people will reach its peak, once they secretly collude with some high-ranking people and sit on political resources, will Pertheus's throne still sit securely? If he could endure what happened before, the Scarlet Church's announcement of a new type of blood therapy this time has completely touched his bottom line. ”

"If the Crimson Church wants to gain political benefits, it must collude with politicians within Dogulland, and there must be the shadow of a certain candidate for crown prince. And this time the invitation to the ministers is a trap set by Pertheus. ”

Chino used his baton to draw a circle in the royal city area on the map, and sneered: "Pay attention to Percius's rhetoric, he only asked the generals from all over the country to recommend, not directly vote based on the recommendation results. ”

"In other words, even if everyone recommends a certain candidate, it is Percius who will make the final decision, and he has every right to invalidate all the nominations."

"Therefore, the recommendation is only a means for Perseus to test the military generals, and the candidates recommended by these people must be the supporters of their hearts, who have either received the favor of this person or favor the political group of the other party, which is also called a henchman."

"And the candidate with the most party henchmen has more political resources behind him, the more likely he is to be favored by the Crimson Church."

Paladin broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, and finally reacted: "You mean, the candidate who has been recommended the most this time is the one who poses the greatest threat to the throne, and the more likely he is to be out?" ”

Chino shook his head: "It's not necessarily, it depends on the situation." Factional strife has existed since ancient times, and the party itself is not terrible, and the most important means of the superior is to reconcile and keep the various factions in a state of equilibrium, so that the kingdom can be stable for a long time. ”

"The people in the upper position are afraid that the people below are ironclad, the needle can't be inserted, the water can't be splashed, and one party is so dominant that it can threaten the royal power, this kind of henchman is the most terrible."

Lugo patted his head and hurriedly said, "Then we can't recommend Solandale, in case there are too many people who support her and are targeted by Perseus, won't she be unlucky?" ”

"My lord, otherwise, let's go and say hello to the other people who support Solandale, and everyone deliberately recommends the other two candidates to suppress Solandale's votes."

Chino smiled briefly: "Perseus is not a fool, this kind of inferior trick, using it will only cause him to resent it." Besides, the positions of people like us are on the surface, and they are not Pertheus's target of temptation, what he cares about is not open chess, but those secret pieces. ”

Paladin asked in a deep voice: "Please tell us what to do." ”

Chino said lightly: "We can't hide it anyway, let's write the recommendation letter however we want." It's just that in my opinion, although Solandale has accumulated a lot of influence in the past two years, she is still too immature compared to her brother. ”

"Among the three candidates, Bolton has forever lost the possibility of running for the crown prince since the Danyu City incident disobeyed the king's orders, and Pertheus pushed him out this time is actually just a cover."

"The real rivalry will only happen between Andre and Solandale, and Andre must know about it, guess what they're going to do next?"

Shangguan Xue, as the former three-clawed golden dragon of the Far Eastern Dynasty, has experienced a lot of battles between the DPRK and China, and she quickly realized the problem: "Andre and they must take the opportunity of this recommendation to find out who the supporters behind Solandale are, buy or kill them in advance, and let Solandel be in a state of political isolation." ”

Chino threw a toffee to Shangguan Xue as a reward, and said with a smile: "That's right, they will definitely have this idea." The immediate priority now is to protect the supporters behind Solandale so that they can continue to hide in the shadows and avoid the first round of shock. ”

Shangguan Xuexiu frowned, and asked in a low voice: "However, we don't know who Solandale's supporters are now, how can we secretly contact these people?" ”

Chino looked at the royal city on the map and chuckled: "Don't deliberately contact, just fish Solandelle out of the whirlpool first, and let Andre and Percius play by themselves...... Lugo, you know quite a few ruffians, and I have something for you to do. ”

Lugo responded: "Please command!" ”

"The battle without gunpowder has begun, little princess, little princess, this first knife, let me help you block it first." Chino looked sideways at Lugo, the corners of his lips cursing into disarray, "Let your fox friends walk out with this news-"

"Solandale has made a marriage contract with Mimoro, the son of the archbishop, and next year, when he reaches adulthood, he will marry the Crimson Church."
