Chapter 763 Undercurrent
At the end of the snowfall, in the year 515 of the Huo calendar, the cold wind of the dew season is still icy cold, and the trees are left with bare dead branches, waiting for the arrival of spring in the severe cold, and there is a solitude.

In the hidden place deep in the woods of Wangcheng, the secret room deep in the ground has been opened. Andre and Lan Xian sat facing each other in the room, with very dignified expressions on each other.

Lan Xian: "I really didn't expect that His Majesty the King would make such a decision. Since the founding of the ancient king, the affairs of the crown prince have been secretly decided by the previous kings. This time it was put on the table and asked ministers from all over the world to recommend it. unexpected."

Andre narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "What's even more unexpected is that there are actually three candidates. I thought Solandelle was no threat, but what she has done in recent years has too much influence, She has accumulated quite a lot of prestige inside and outside the kingdom, so the king father pushed her out this time, it must not be as simple as going through a process, he is probably really considering the possibility of Solandelle becoming queen."

Lan Xian sighed, and said: "This incident was indeed beyond my expectations. Last year in the Danyu City incident, Bolton failed to handle the situation properly, and later confronted His Majesty in public, completely losing the possibility of succession. I thought you were the crown prince, but I didn't expect that the biggest threat is not Bolton, but Solandelle."

"The top priority now is to find out who are the supporters behind Solandelle. Needless to say, the group of Twilight City forces headed by Chino must find out as soon as possible. Those who can be recruited should be killed. Strangling, they cannot form a force that can affect the political situation."

A trace of deepness flashed in Andre's eyes: "Where are our people? Do we need to give them any instructions?"

Lan Xian: "The current situation has developed to this point. Now that the matter of the crown prince has been publicly put on the agenda, there is nothing to hide. Send a flying letter to our people and let them recommend you to His Majesty the King."

Andre seemed a little worried: "Are you sure? We have been in business for so long, and there are so many open and dark chess buried in various places, and now they are all directly on the table?"

Lan Xian sighed softly, shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't want to release all the chess pieces so quickly, but I can only do this now. For the crown prince, His Majesty the King has selected three candidates, but in fact Bolton is just a cover, and Dogrand, including the king himself, knows that Bolton is a good general, but he cannot be a good king."

"So, in fact, the only competitors are you and Solandelle. If you want to overwhelm Solandelle, there is only one way—to tell His Majesty the king that you are more popular than Solandelle. Only by occupying people's hearts, you Only then have the capital to be crowned king, otherwise, you will not be able to match her in any other aspects."

"Don't forget, Solandelle was of noble birth, she is the direct descendant of King Perseus and Queen Catherine." Lan Xian's pupils reflected the candlelight, staring directly at Andre, her voice was as deep as the sea, " And you are just the illegitimate son of Perseus."

The news that Perseus publicly announced three candidates for the Crown Prince and invited senior officials and generals throughout the territory to choose the best candidates for their recommendation spread like wildfire throughout Dogrand.

From palaces and mansions to streets and alleys, from aristocrats to commoners, and even those beggars on the street, there is no one who is not discussing this matter.

What Perseus did was truly astonishing, and it could be called the first of its kind.

Throughout history, the battles between crown princes have always been full of killing and bloodshed. Behind every coronation of a new king is the game and fighting of various forces.

Don't look at how good those princes and princesses were when they were young, such as good brothers and sisters, etc., when it comes to fighting for the interests of themselves and the forces behind them, they are absolutely ruthless, and relatives and friends can kill if they say so.

This is also why the matter of the crown prince is extremely sensitive in Dogrand. The previous kings would choose to handle it in secret, and many of the previous kings remained silent. They would not announce the crown prince until their deathbed, in order to weaken the struggle as much as possible and allow a smooth transition of the regime. .

It's good now, Perseus actually turned the secret discussions of the past and present into public discussions. Looking at the 24 kings since the founding of the country, only the 24th Doguland dared to do so.

Under the raging public opinion, the gloomy undercurrent is also surging wantonly.

For those who are in the position of ministers, it is of course the luckiest to serve one master for life. If they are unfortunate enough to encounter a new king and an old king during their term of office, they must have their own stand and stand behind a certain candidate.

If you are right, that is great luck. After the new king is crowned, you will be able to rise to the top with the help of the king.

If you stand wrong, you may be able to retreat bravely if you are lucky, but you will be liquidated if you are unlucky.

And the kind of people who consider themselves noble and unwilling to stand on any side will not only not be respected, on the contrary they will be offended by any side, and no one who is superior will be seen.

Now that Perseus has put the matter of the crown prince on the agenda, senior officials from various places, senior generals from various legions, these high-ranking people who control the upper-level political power of the kingdom have all been involved in the undercurrent, and some of these people are destined to be extremely powerful Minister, it is also destined that someone will fall with the old master.

Just as the various forces exchanged information starry night, Dusk City, the base of the newly-promoted royal family "Hairsing Family", was inevitably involved in this battle for the crown prince.

Although Chino has never publicly expressed his political inclinations, a person's words can be hidden, but his actions cannot be hidden. He has been so close to Solandelle in the past few years. You said that he does not support the Ninth Princess. , and Solandelle are just playing around. No one will believe this.

Therefore, even if Kino didn't say it on the surface, everyone defaulted that the forces of Dusk City were on Solandelle's side.

At this time, Chino and his staff gathered in the meeting room of Twilight City to discuss the crown prince poked out by Perseus.

Paladin held a document, and Shen Shenghui reported: "My lord, we have arranged for spies in other cities to send back news one after another. The visits between officials are very frequent, and they should all start to test each other. What should we do next?"

Kino didn't seem to be affected by the increasingly urgent situation. He leaned back on the chair calmly, threw it into his mouth once and for all, and asked while eating: "What do you think?"

Paladin exchanged glances with everyone, and said in a low voice, "Of course, we will use the connections we have to find as many people as possible who are willing to support Solandelle, and then jointly recommend them to His Majesty the King."

As soon as Paladin finished speaking, Kino's shoulders could be seen faintly trembling, obviously holding back a smile, he looked at everyone with a playful look: "Do you really think that Perseus sang such a play for everyone to recommend?" Crown Prince?"
