Royal Capital, Iron Hand Mansion, nine o'clock in the morning.
Today is a good day. In this world without pollution, the blue sky and white clouds are particularly clear, and the air is very fresh.
Wow…
The sound of water came from the courtyard. Su Xiao, who had just woken up, opened the door. The scene in front of him made him a little surprised.
"They two don't need a rest?"
Su Xiao looked at the two little Luoli who were cleaning the courtyard, and then at Bubu Wang who was sleeping in the room until he drooled. Their diligence was not at the same level.
"Woo~"
Bubuwang whimpered in his sleep. Judging from the happy expression on his face, he must have had a sweet dream.
"Sir, you are awake. Breakfast is ready. Today's breakfast is..."
The elder sister of the little Luoli ran over quickly. Her name was Di Lulu, and her younger sister was Silulu. I don’t know which slave trader named them. The two sisters have more than 99% similarity in appearance, hair color,
The height and body shape are exactly the same. If it weren't for the different hairstyles, Su Xiao wouldn't be able to tell the two sisters apart.
Su Xiao did not identify the two sisters by their names, but by their hairstyles. The elder sister had a double ponytail and the younger sister had a side ponytail, which made them easy to distinguish.
“Breakfast should be lighter.”
Su Xiao killed many people last night, and now everything he smells smells like blood.
"yes."
The two little Luoli immediately went to make arrangements. Judging from the current situation, the two sisters were very useful. First, they solved the food problem. Second, they could also clean the courtyard, warm the bed, and keep accounts.
After waking up Boo Boo Wang, Su Xiao had a not hearty but substantial breakfast, and then left the mansion with Boo Boo Wang. Due to his size and appearance, Eminem could not enter the palace.
This morning, Su Xiao received another summons from the old king, or in other words, all the middle and upper-level officials in the royal capital received the summons, because the first batch of princes and princesses arrived.
There are ten potential heirs to the throne who arrived at the royal capital this time, including six princes and four princesses.
The old king has a total of 49 direct children. As for illegitimate children, there are many. After all, the old king has many women. As long as his body can bear it, it is only a matter of chance to have children.
Of course, illegitimate children are not qualified to inherit the throne. Only the children born to the queens are the direct children of the old king.
Of course, there is more than one queen. These queens all have their own backgrounds, or they are the daughters of some powerful ministers, or the daughters of some wealthy businessmen.
The total of 36 queens represents a huge power network. The center of the power network is the old king, surrounded by powerful ministers and wealthy businessmen. It is these queens who connect the two.
They are an important part of the power structure. They have no real power in their hands, or in other words, they cannot have real power in their hands. They only need to be a link. Once they have power, things will not be good.
Queens who have no real power are basically in a state of soy sauce in the struggle for power. The new king's ascension actually has little impact on them. The new king also needs to use them to maintain the surrounding powerful officials and wealthy businessmen.
Kingship is like a spider web, the structure becomes more complex toward the periphery. The old king is the spider in the center of the web. It has to shake the web frequently to check for damage and to know whether there is prey on the web.
Of course, all the 49 descendants of the old king will not participate in the fight for rights. 18 of them have given up on this fight for rights. It is not that they have no ambition, but that they have been squeezed out in advance and lost the capital to compete, but they will also rush.
To the royal capital.
Of the remaining 31 people, 16 of them have an attitude, that is, don't mess with me casually. They will not give up voluntarily, nor will they compete for power. If any prince or princess has an absolute advantage in seizing power, they will
They will support which side and strive to obtain an idle position with a high official position and no real power after the other side succeeds to the throne, which is commonly known as a prince.
These 16 soybean princes or princesses are all relatively young. They know that they cannot compete with their elder brothers, so they choose to give up temporarily.
Don't think that these people are completely harmless, they are just harmless in most cases. If a God-given opportunity arises, they will become the next king. Of course, this possibility is very low.
After being eliminated step by step, before the struggle for power has even begun, there are only 15 competitors left. These people knew in their youth that all their brothers, brothers, and sisters are enemies. If they do not kill these people or take away their rights,
They are the ones who die in the end.
Among the remaining 15 competitors, 5 are the most promising. If nothing unexpected happens, the new king this time will emerge from these five.
Su Xiao obtained a piece of information from the kingdom's financial officer, Rowan Harvey, which is exactly the information of these five people. This information is extremely credible. The information is as follows:

The information obtained by Rowan Harvey was very interesting. It actually clearly marked the comprehensive abilities of the five people. This gave Su Xiao some understanding of the five 'seeded players'.
The eldest prince has the strongest financial resources and is good at managing the territory.
The third prince has a wide network of contacts in the military, and the army commanders in various regions support him. It can be said that he responds to everything he calls.
The seventh prince has a title granted by the kingdom, and most of the holy warriors support him, so he has many strong men under his command.
The second princess has a wide range of connections, including politicians, the military, and underground forces. She is also the leader of a large underground organization.
The Sixth Princess is ruthless. She has little financial resources, few connections, and average leadership skills. The only thing she is good at is killing her competitors.
"These five people... are interesting."
Su Xiao threw the information in her hand to Bubu Wang.
