Throne Steps

Because of the grace of the sun, this year's melting pot performance can only be regarded as unsatisfactory.

In Amoya's words, no matter the organizer or the audience, everyone's energy is exhausted.At this time, a little restraint on the contribution of the furnace performance can be regarded as a timely stop loss.And just as many things are secretly divided into big and small years, this year can just be used as a buffer period, so as not to make the audience tired every year.

However, after the well-regulated performance, Li Chen learned more interesting news than the performance through the help of Saenz.

"Who is this?"

Saenz started to read the information in front of Li Chen without hesitation, and Li Chen glanced at it without any scruples.After all, in his impression, the melting pot performance period was equivalent to a kind of rest for Saenz, and it was rare to see him read with such a thick stack of materials at this time.

However, Li Chen did not know this person.

Being able to make him ask the question "who is it" shows that this person's surname is indeed not attracting attention in the aristocratic circle, and it can even be said that his family has not produced any important people in the past.But since it entered Saenz's vision at this time, it must have been big news.

Saenz did not explain the origin of this person, but talked about the future of this person.

"A new Minister of War...maybe."

"...Huh?" Li Chen directly ignored the last two words, "Army, Minister of Military Affairs?!"

He simply leaned over to Saenz, and boldly looked at that person's information carefully.The more he looked, the more he frowned: "Wait, who the hell is this? Even if there is his resume here, I don't have any impression at all!"

Saenz let him quickly flip through the information, and smiled: "Well, another person you don't know."

"What 'again', I don't know many people..." Li Chen paused, and suddenly realized something, "He is a pure minister?!"

The important minister, but the candidate is unknown to Li Chen, this scene seems familiar.When the royal family announced the new finance minister a year ago, Li Chen felt the same way, confused and shocked.

Compared to Li Chen's shock, Saenz was much calmer: "At present, it is only an internal decision, and there is no real announcement yet."

"But it's pretty close, isn't it?"

"As long as he's alive, it should be him."

This sentence has something to say, but Li Chen has to keep this question for now, because he hasn't figured out the root cause yet.

"I don't understand, what exactly does the royal family want to do?" Li Chen tapped the paper unconsciously with his fingers, "The Minister of Finance has very little real power, and he took advantage of the time when the families were changing, so he helped them up. The Minister of Military Affairs But the position directly related to the mobilization of all troops—although it is only in name—but it can actually influence military power!”

Once this seat is moved, all the nobles must keep their eyes on the royal family, especially Eternal Color.Needless to say, the southwestern garrison infiltrated by the color of roses and the northern army under the personal command of Saenz have to obey the royal orders conveyed by the minister of military affairs when they are put on the table.In the past, it was usually after a see-saw between the various armies, between the various armies and the royal family, to coordinate a candidate acceptable to all parties.This candidate is not so much used by the royal family to command the army, as it is used to balance all forces, and its role is basically similar to that of the secretary general.Because he will make appropriate compromises to all forces, his role in influencing the law is basically useless.

But if the royal family insisted on a pure minister to take the position, the situation would be very different.

The important officials of the imperial court have been changed one after another, which is obviously to cause trouble!It is still necessary to do it immediately, and do it in a big way, lest the opponents don't know!

"I don't understand!" Li Chen's mind became more and more chaotic. "The prince is still young. Now that the royal family pushes their own people to the throne, won't it make the court even more chaotic? How can the prince successfully succeed to the throne?"

"You already understand." Saenz poured him a cup of tea, "Didn't you already say the answer?"

Li Chen looked at him suspiciously, forced his chaotic mind to make room, and followed Saenz's words to sort out his thoughts: I already said it?What I just said is that the prince is still young, and pushing the royal family to the throne will affect the prince's succession... Eh? !

"My, my, my god... this is simply a TV series!" Li Chen was shocked by his conjecture again, and muttered with emotion, "This is a competition for the crown! The princess's desire to become the throne is not dead!!!"

The pure white color wins the throne and the royal family competes for the heir, plus the eternal colors such as Meloyer and Joch are updated. This era of singing and dancing on the surface is actually a big melee.Among the turbulent winds and clouds, as long as people who walk in it are a little careless, a hundred lives are not enough to play.

In this way, many things have to be reconsidered.For example, the Minister of Finance and Military Affairs, who was originally thought to be promoted by the royal family, is actually operated by the power of the princess; The fourth highness of the color was originally playing tricks between Lailier and the Minister of Finance, and now it seems that it may lead to the fourth highness and the little prince getting married...

Seeing that Li Chen was thinking more and more deeply, Saenz interrupted: "Don't get involved."

Li Chen was pulled back to his senses abruptly by him: "...ah?" Why?

"The issue of the Minister of Military Affairs involves too much, and the relationship between the royal family is even more complicated." Saenz said, "The forces in their hands are huge, and they cannot be resisted by a mere black swan."

Li Chen understood what he meant.Even though the black swan has become famous in Redia now, and it seems that there is no grass growing wherever it goes, but in real confrontation with the regular army and the state machine, the black swan is just a bird that can be easily choked.Even, no mercenary group can really contend with these forces.

"But it's not up to me." Li Chen sighed, "We have already been dragged into the quagmire."

With just one entrustment from Lairier, the black swan has already been drawn into the triangle relationship between His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness and the Minister of Finance, and now it may not be so easy to get out unscathed.

Li Chen even felt that maybe Fujalal and Lailier had already prepared for a multi-force melee, so they wanted to take the opportunity to drag the black swan into it.Otherwise, if Saenz has been in control of a team that is free from chaos, it is equivalent to giving him a way to stab anyone in the back at any time.

Thinking of this, Li Chen couldn't help feeling that his vision was still too limited.Obviously, he has consciously understood all the intentions, but he still followed the other party's way.

Moreover, the candidate for the Minister of Military Affairs has just taken a chance, and Saenz can check his information thoroughly, which is impossible for a black swan, and the black swan didn't even get any news of a replacement.The mercenary group and these forces are still too disparate in strength.It is impossible to survive in this situation with only oneself and the black swan alone.

It's really... a big deal.Li Chen wiped his face, but couldn't tell whether he was taking a deep breath or sighing.

"Although you have intervened in this matter, that's it." Saenz saw his frustration, and understood why he did so suddenly.But Saenz can't comfort him because only by letting him understand the seriousness of the matter can he truly dispel his eagerness to try.

Even if Li Chen has the strength to grow into a player in the game, Saenz still doesn't want him to get involved.Because Lichen can really control only the black swan, Saenz is afraid that if he is alone, the black swan will not be able to protect himself and Lichen under the impact of huge external forces.

Saenz thought so, no wonder his tone was harsh.He squeezed Li Chen's chin, forcing this person to look at him: "Don't get involved again, all matters related to this must be decided by me, and if you have to, tell me as soon as possible, understand?"

Li Chen looked at himself in the other party's pupils, and replied: "Your Highness, everything we do now is inextricably linked to this vortex. I can't completely watch the fire from the other side. I'm already inside."

"Sophistry." Saenz sneered, "You are so smart, you must understand what I mean, and where the so-called boundaries are. Put away your ready-to-move expression, and if I say no, I just can't."

Li Chen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then opened his eyes to stare at the other party, and asked desperately: "Pure white color, I haven't decided who to support to be the leader, have I?"

"...Li Chen!"

Sure enough, Saenz's anger soared and he couldn't suppress it: "Stop your crooked brains! You can't spy on everyone with pure white color, especially the wishes of the owner! Don't get angry!"

Sure enough, Pure White did not decide on a unified candidate. Saenz was afraid of being on the wrong side with the Patriarch, so he would stand still and let the black swan, which almost represented his personal will, stay out of the way.In case the black swan accidentally got in the wrong direction, then Saenz would be in bad luck...

"Look at me, little bastard!" Saenz understood what Li Chen was thinking at a glance, he almost gritted his teeth, and the strength of his hand pinching Li Chen's chin became stronger, "Throw away all your thoughts to me!"

Li Chen's wandering eyes were suddenly pulled back by him: "...what?"

"Are you looking for some high-sounding excuse? You're thinking that I'm afraid of being implicated by you and standing in the wrong team, so that the black swan is not allowed to move, right?"

bingo.

Just as Li Chen understands Saenz, Saenz also understands Lichen's context.But even if Li Chen thinks this is one of the reasons, Saenz just doesn't want the other party to see him like this, and it is even more impossible for Li Chen to use this official reason to escape from him.

He didn't care whether Li Chen was willing to answer or not, and continued: "Listen, whether or not you are in the team, and whose team you are in, are all secondary.

"Save yourself, don't fall where I can't see it, don't cross the safety line. Injury, death, I don't accept it, you hear me?"

Li Chen sighed lightly: "I understand."

"Promise me, promise me."

"I promise, I promise, my lord."
