Reincarnation Paradise

Chapter 32: Human Heart

Negotiations went smoother than expected. Although Princess Sayto has always suspected Su Xiao's conspiracy, she would certainly not miss this kind of heavenly opportunity with the throne.

When Sayto walked out of the imperial parliament hall, she couldn't help looking back at this magnificent building. Since the death of the Black King, this is the highest authority of the empire, and all major orders are conveyed from here.

If everything goes well afterwards, the imperial assembly will no longer exist, not only the imperial assembly, but also the Senate, Sayto will be gradually eliminated.

She even plans to abolish the hereditary royal power system, withdraw power from the dukes and ministers, and change the hereditary system to an electoral system.

With regard to the hereditary system, Sayto is both a beneficiary and a victim. The empire has not had a new king for more than a decade because of the hereditary system.

The electoral system is different. When the previous king falls, the people and officials will soon elect the next king. Sayto even plans to canonize official positions such as'members' to make the electoral system more fair.

It can be said that the prince Sayto is full of ambitions, so she dislikes Su Xiao, Duke Silverfeather, Bloomer and others, and once said in her heart: "Just leave it to me, I will make the empire better. More perfect' such ideas.

It is also for this reason that Sayto was slightly irritable when facing Su Xiao and others.

However, the Black King initially believed that he could govern the empire very well, but for some reason, he chose hereditary system, gave up a more effective electoral system, and sat on the throne for more than three hundred years.

Let alone say that he is full of ambition, Sayto has already mobilized his subordinates to become the new king, and Su Xiao is also preparing.

"No problem?"

Zheng and Su Xiao were hanging out on the street, and the old god stick with the metal book in his hand spoke.

"Basically no problem. Sayto has already agreed. Wolver and the Chancellor of the Exchequer can't hold it down, but they dare not jump out in a short time."

Su Xiao squatted in front of a stall, holding a palm-sized clay sculpture to observe. The workmanship of this thing is good, and there is a trace of eternal power inside, which is similar to amulets. This gave him inspiration as to whether he can rely on alchemy. Create one-time defensive equipment or props.

"They blatantly opposed you? Have you gone to Sayto?"

The expression of the old god stick was nothing unusual, and from the looks of it, he had long expected such a thing.

"Not for a short time, but it will happen sooner or later."

When Su Xiao supported Sayto to become the new king, he had long thought of the reaction of Wolver and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. This is actually normal.

Wolver and the Chancellor of Finance are willing to support Su Xiao, simply because they want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix. Once Su Xiao becomes the new king, they will also become great figures like the founding fathers.

But Su Xiao gave up becoming the new king, which inevitably made Wolver and the Chancellor of the Exchequer have ideas. To put it bluntly, they are now Su Xiao's eagle dogs, and they were both hostile to Sayto.

Once Sayto became the new king, it would be equivalent to Su Xiao losing power. By then, once Sayto settled down, it would be enough for Woofer and the Chancellor of the Exchequer to have trouble walking around.

This is the human heart. In the struggle for power, no one will be loyal to anyone forever. You know, Woofer was Bloomer's subordinate, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer was loyal to the little duke.

"Explain to them the price of becoming the new king, maybe they..."

Before the old god had finished speaking, Su Xiao waved his hand with his back to him.

"The human heart is more complicated than you think, are you right, Ken Rahan."

"maybe……"

The gaze of the old god stick was a bit complicated, his mouth opened and closed, as if he wanted to say something to Su Xiao, but after a while, he chose to remain silent.

"Kukurin Baiye, I will always be on your side."

The old god stick tapped one hand on his chest, revealing the smile he had when he first met Su Xiao.

"Oh."

Su Xiao threw a few black coins on the stall, got up and walked towards the end of the street. From start to finish, he didn't go to see the old god stick.

"Sorry."

The old god stick looked at Su Xiao's back and spoke in a low voice, and continued in a voice that Su Xiao couldn't hear: "If you are going there, I will be with you all the way until I die, Kukulin."

...

At seven o'clock the next day, Luo Lanhua Manor.

On both sides of the manor’s main entrance, dozens of guards of the Holy City guarded them. They were wearing gold and black armor, and the standard long swords on their waists were inlaid with rubies. Although they stood neatly, their brows revealed pride.

Of course, these guards cannot be used for war, but as a guard of honor, they are the best choice. Each is young and handsome, and has some background.

Luo Lanhua Manor is the property of Princess Sayto. She doesn't usually live here, but tonight, it is open to all imperial officials and wealthy businessmen. As long as they are decent figures, they must be present tonight, unless they don't want to mix in the holy city.

Several officials under Sayto were standing outside the main entrance of the manor. They all put aside tonight. No matter how small the official position they came, they would greet each other warmly, making the small officials flattered.

A gold-plated carriage stopped and the carriage opened. Several old servants got out of the carriage first, and then a year-old boy walked out of the carriage.

"Master Duke, you are here."

A fat and oily official stepped forward quickly. He was the number four under Sayto. His name was Evan. During a game between the two sides, he was almost caught in a military camp outside the city by Wolver. There, even if Evan was an important official of the empire, he would not survive for two hours. Sayto did not hesitate to come forward in person to meet Su Xiao at the Youyu Manor, and save him by almost cutting flesh.

"Are you Evan?"

When the little duke spoke, he didn't know what he was chewing, and the chancellor was not by his side today.

The chancellor is already on the other side. Although the chancellor is still loyal to the little duke, this is a question of position.

"Yes, your highness, please."

Evan smiled and introduced the little duke into the manor himself.

At this time, a temporary meeting place had been set up in the courtyard of the manor. Of course, as the little duke, he was quickly led to the banquet hall in the castle.

The guests arrived one by one, and most of them could only participate in the dinner in the courtyard. They even couldn't even see Sayto, the owner of the manor, but they came just like an attitude.

In the banquet hall of the castle, most of the imperial officials whispered to each other at the banquet table, and the dance floor in the center belonged to young people, not old men like them.

As for Sayto, the owner of the castle, she is wearing a formal dress, and the stars are standing inside the banquet hall like a moon, and the high officials of the empire spare no effort to compliment her.

But from the beginning to the end, Sayto was a little absent-minded, because the most important guests had not arrived, and the seats next to the first place were empty.

"Is this... a bit unwilling."

Sayto smiled. She no longer doubts that Su Xiao surrendered the kingship. With today's dinner, it is inevitable that she will become the new king.

...

Youyu Manor, in a dim study.

Behind the antique desk, Su Xiao was reading through the semi-weathered notes, while Bubowang was lying on the desk. Eminem was sitting in the corner not far away. Because the room was rather dim, you could only see the outline of it. contour.

Moonlight shines through the window, and the old god stick is standing in front of the window, and Sayto’s dinner invitation is ignored by him.

, , ...

The door was knocked, and Wolver pushed the door and walked into the study, a heavy drinker.

"Sayato’s dinner, you should be there."

Su Xiao didn't go to see Woofer, and focused on the broken note in his hand.

"Woffer is a crude person, and I'm not used to attending egg dinners. When Lao Tzu is so poor that he can't even get his pension, the woman doesn't even look at Lao Tzu."

Wearing a full body armor, Wooferdang sat in the corner with a cry, holding a bottle of spirits, and began to drink.

After about a few minutes, the door of the room was pushed open again, carrying a few tightly tied oily paper bags, and the chancellor in formal clothes walked into the room. He didn't say much, just found a chair and sat down. Throw one of the oily paper bags in his hand to Su Xiao, and another to Woofer.

"This is the venison from my hometown, adults try it."

Regardless of his manners, the chancellor picked up a large mouthful of venison stuffed into his mouth and chewed it.

"It's not a good choice to come to me tonight."

Su Xiao also picked up a piece of venison and put it in his mouth to taste it. Although the meat fiber is rough, it has a strange smell, which makes people can't help picking up another piece of venison and chewing in the mouth.

"The wine is delicious, and you die soon after drinking too much."

Wolver grinned and said nothing else. Obviously, he and the Chancellor of Finance both chose to stand on Su Xiao's side.

"Zos, the little bastard has stiff wings. It is said that Sayto introduced him to the parliamentarian's daughter, and that kid is now considered to be a winner."

Wolver poured a few sips of wine into his mouth, and his eyes became extremely cruel.

"Young people, it's easy to be tempted, but Sayto promised me the position of Zuo Yu, really willing."

The chancellor shook his head with a wry smile.

"That woman promised you Zuo Yu? Coincidentally, my side is the commander of the emperor, with great power, and commanding all the frontier fortresses of the empire."

Wolver looked at the chancellor with a mean expression, and the old gentleman threw a deer bone at Wolver.

Sayto's doing this is not really mean, or in other words, she is uneasy if she doesn't take away military power and finances from Su Xiao.

Unfortunately, the Chancellor of the Exchequer ignored her, but Woofer pretended to be deaf and dumb. After receiving Sayto’s benefits, he sent it directly to Youyu Manor.
