Reincarnation Paradise

Although Su Xiao didn't know where the Kingdom Chamber was, he quickly thought of a way. In fact, it was very simple to find the Kingdom Chamber. There were three steps.

The first step: find a guard.

Step 2: Stare at each other for 10 seconds.

The third step is to say in a gentle tone:'Go to the Kingdom Chamber with me.'

Along the way after that, the panicked guard began to doubt life, thinking wildly in his heart, six gods have no master.

According to the position of the guards behind him inadvertently, Su Xiao quickly found the Kingdom Chamber.

The gate of the Kingdom Chamber is closed tightly. Any important matters in the Kingdom are all made here to make final decisions. The frequency of use here is not high. After all, officials do not need to come to the palace every day, unless they receive an order from the king. Will gather together.

Su Xiao pushed open the door of the Kingdom Chamber. The chamber was quiet and surrounded by a circle of seats. The first one was a tall metal throne. This throne was forged from a huge meteorite that fell from the sky and was completely dark.

A figure is sitting on the throne. He is wearing gold and red loose clothing and an iron crown. This crown has been passed down for more than a thousand years and was handed down by the first king, the iron crown king Adelaide Herbert.

Sitting on the throne is the old king, Bay Herbert, 65 years old, but his beard and hair are all white. Although nourished by various precious secret medicines, his skin has no wrinkles and his complexion is ruddy. He feels old.

"Iron Hand, come forward."

The old king slowly raised his arm and motioned for Su Xiao to stand forward. Su Xiao didn't know what to say for the time being, so he chose to be silent. This kind of silence is the best disguise.

Su Xiao stepped forward slowly, the old king looked at Su Xiao, the body expression in his eyes... actually envy.

"You have a young body and powerful force. If I were you, I would definitely make a lot of women, and I would be busy until midnight every day."

The old king smiled, Su Xiao just stood five meters in front of him, his face calm and silent.

The old king was not angry because Su Xiao did not speak. On the contrary, he was used to this silence.

"The last thing I regretted was fighting for the rights of the king. When I was young, I always yearned for rights, but at that time I didn't know what rights meant."

The old king seemed to be talking, and there were some things he could only say to the iron hand that he was a majestic and wise king in front of his courtiers.

"How many dissidents did you get rid of for me? Cough cough cough cough cough..."

The old king put his fist in front of his mouth and let out a dry cough, as if he was about to cough up all the lungs.

"257 people."

Su Xiao certainly knows how many dissidents the'Iron Hand' helped the old king get rid of. This is very important information.

"Is there already so many people? Right has lost too many people, but they have forgotten that there are those dead spirits who want to drive mankind out of the wall of God."

The old king leaned on the throne, a wisp of coughed saliva stuck to the beard of his chin, but he ignored it.

"Iron Hand, can I trust you."

The old king leaned forward, his eyes were no longer muddy, but became extremely sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts.

"of course."

Su Xiao's answer was very simple, and the old king put away his sharp gaze.

"I can't hold on for long."

The old king is still staring at Su Xiao, and he secretly summoned Su Xiao to come today, definitely something important.

"..."

Su Xiao did not speak, but looked at the old king.

"You can't reveal this secret even if you die."

"clear."

Su Xiao still had that calm tone.

"My sons are all on their way to the Holy City, and there will be a new heir to the throne among them."

The words of the old king let Su Xiao know that the topic is coming.

"Only people who are wise enough are eligible to inherit the throne. This is something that the Iron Crown has inherited and has allowed the kingdom to flourish to this day.

Adding up my children, there are almost... 48. No, 49. Maybe some of them can inherit the throne, maybe none, but the surname "Herbert" will not be cut off anyway. This is One of the reasons why we can fight the necromancer."

The old king's speech was not fast, and he seemed to be struggling to speak.

"Hands of Iron, after they gathered in the capital, the struggle for power began. I want you to assist the winning successor to the throne, just like you are now assisting me.

Before the successors appear, you help me monitor them, and if they become rebellious, help me deal with them."

The old king’s tone was downplaying, but what he wanted to deal with was his own children.

After hearing what the old king said, Su Xiao knew what was going on.

First of all, the old king can't live long due to physical reasons, so he must choose a person to succeed the throne as soon as possible.

The kingdom of Saint-Sodin is somewhat complicated in terms of succession to the throne, which is related to the issue of priority.

The priority of the first echelon is the heirs of the old king. These princes and princesses are usually not in the royal capital, but are scattered all over the country. They manage various territories in the kingdom. Some are similar to dukes, but there is no duke in this world. They are called by one name, but they are similar in nature. They have fiefdoms and can freely control their finances, except that they cannot have a large-scale army. The troops stationed in the territory are all under the command of the old king.

The princes and princesses lived in the royal capital before the age of 15, and they would seal their territories after the age of 15. This is actually training their leadership and management abilities, thereby cultivating future kings.

Except for a handful of princes and princesses, most princes and princesses are very ambitious and want to inherit the throne of the king very much. The reason for this is that they want to obtain huge rights, and the other is because of the upcoming power struggle.

When the old king's life is not long or is approaching 70 years old, these princes and princesses will be summoned to the royal capital. Of course, when they are summoned, they have the right to choose once, which is to refuse to summon, which is equivalent to voluntarily giving up the throne. right.

If they agree to convene and come to the holy city, it means that they will participate in the struggle for rights.

During the power struggle, they will use various methods to eliminate or force away their competitors, but they can't smash their faces in the open. They may assassinate, poison each other, take time out of each other's rights, and cut off each other's financial resources.

As for the criteria for judging the winner, it is very simple. Which prince or princess can finally stay in the holy city is the heir to the throne.

This kind of bloody competition may of course cause all the princes or princesses to fail. If this happens, the second echelon must be activated.

The candidates for the second echelon are the heirs cultivated by dozens of old kings in the holy city. To a certain extent, these heirs have met the old king more often.

These people are not of royal blood, but after they get the right of succession to the throne, they will be given the surname of'Herbert'. As for the source of the second-tier heirs, they are selected from all over the country.

What I have to say is that the Saint-Sodin Kingdom’s mechanism for electing a new king is very interesting, and it is not a pure hereditary system.

The struggle for rights between the princes and princesses can barely be regarded as hereditary. Those who can win the struggle for power are of course capable of being kings. Even if there is an oolong incident, the old king can veto the heir.

The successors of the second echelon are more interesting. They are talents selected through layers. They exhibited their talents when they were young. After years of training by the royal family, they are proficient in the art of the emperor and governing the country is not a problem.

The composition of the second echelon is actually somewhat close to the electoral system.

Under the cyclical effect of the dual system, the possibility of birth of a faint emperor is greatly reduced. Without certain ability, let alone being a king, it is a blessing not to die in the struggle for power.
