Magus Tech Chapter 1357: Visit
The hastily prepared succession ceremony ended in a more hasty way, with unspeakable panic and confusion.
The new emperor died during the succession ceremony. This is something that has never happened since the founding of the Soma Alliance. The whole incident has a magical color.
But no matter how magical it is, it must come down to reality in the end, and the biggest practical question is: what to do next?
A country cannot be without a king for a day, the eldest prince is dead, who should inherit the throne next?
According to the law, it should be inherited by the eldest prince's heirs, but the eldest prince is good at everything, the only bad thing is that he is not lustful.
The eldest prince is too keen on political scheming, and has been working diligently to earn political capital by doing practical things and accumulating meritorious deeds. This caused him to be thirty years old and only have one child, and it was a five-and-a-half-year-old girl.
Five and a half? And it's a girl? !
This is pretty much a double negative.
The age of five and a half years old is too young to support the great task of ruling the alliance, and it is too contrary to the consensus for a girl to inherit the throne and become the empress.
In this way, the successor can only be chosen among the eldest prince's brothers, and the second prince should be the most elected.
Besides age, the second prince is actually not weaker than the first prince in all aspects. If he is really elected, it will not have any negative impact.
It's just... Considering that the eldest prince died in a strange way during the succession ceremony, 99% of them were murdered. From the perspective of the biggest beneficiary, the second prince seems to be a suspect—in this way, the second prince Inheritance does not fully convince the public.
That is the third prince.
However, the third prince has always been sick and can't even stand up. How can he inherit the throne?
Skipping the third prince, the fourth prince appeared in sight.
But if you think about it carefully, the suspicion of the fourth prince murdering the eldest prince is not small. After all, the eldest prince was murdered, and the second prince's benefits are too obvious.
Going a step further, the fifth prince, the sixth prince, the princes, and even many members of the royal family have all become suspects, and whoever is elected will not be able to fully convince the public.
Actually, the law of the Soma Alliance has described this situation. It belongs to the process of succession. If there is a malicious assassination incident, then the method of succession in order should be suspended, so as to save potential suspects from being elected.
After suspending the sequential succession method, according to the law, a new successor should be selected through the discussion of the palace council.
Only in the past two years, the Palace Council was disbanded by Union Emperor Peter Romanov on the grounds that "the treasury funds were tight". At present, there is no so-called Palace Council in charge.
Due to the high prestige of Peter Romanov, the Palace Council has always been a useless institution. Its dissolution did not cause any protests, but now it has created a deadlock - no one knows how to choose a successor .
And this can also be interpreted as: Everyone has their own method of electing a successor, and they all want to use their own method to elect themselves.
In the end, all the successors were not convinced by each other, and the private armies under their command fought each other, and each other's forces competed with each other, and Shaar seemed to become a battlefield.
The upper level overturned the sky, and the lower level was implicated, and the atmosphere in the entire Shaar was extremely flustered. The price soared, and the baker was the quickest to respond. In just half a morning, the price of bread rose three times. After that, the atmosphere of panic spread from the baker to the craftsmen, merchants, coachmen and everyone else. Within a long time, Shaar was already in chaos.
And this is far from over, the panic atmosphere spread from Xiaya to the surroundings, and the entire Soma Alliance gradually became unstable.
During this process, it is worth mentioning that the Sika Kingdom did not take the opportunity to make any small moves.
On the one hand, the Kingdom of Sika has just lost a battle and urgently needs to recuperate. On the other hand, the border of the alliance and the troops in dozens of special garrison areas are not in chaos, and the Sika Kingdom may not be able to make small moves if they want to.
In the end, Sika is actually happy to see this scene in the Soma Alliance. After all, the Soma Alliance is in chaos, which helps to ignore them and let them develop. If they act rashly, it may make the Soma Alliance feel a sense of crisis, temporarily abandon the contradictions and unite, then it would be unsightly.
In this environment, the chaotic day of Soma Alliance Nandu Xia soon came to an end, and the sky darkened.
…
Night.
In the reception area of Char City, Richard lives in the courtyard.
Li Cha was in the study room, putting the finishing touches on the "Medium and Long-term Research Plan". He occasionally stopped and looked out the window, and could hear the faint sounds of fighting and explosions coming from the street.
Obviously, the darkness did not weaken the chaos, but greatly strengthened it—once the eldest prince died, the minister of ceremonies who presided over the succession ceremony was immediately found guilty of murder, thrown into prison and tortured to death, followed by many succession ceremonies The people involved were all cleaned, and the reception area was affected to some extent.
Speaking of which, no matter whether it is the Minister of Etiquette or the group of people who contributed the most in the succession ceremony, they are all considered as the faction of the eldest prince, and it is impossible to murder the eldest prince. But for the rest of the prince's forces, they don't consider this point, they just found a reason to clear the obstacles.
After cleaning up the remaining forces of the eldest prince, the remaining forces of the princes will enter the stage of mutual confrontation. They will either aggressively attack, or defend with all their strength, or cooperate vertically and horizontally, or attack from a distance, and in short, try their best to defeat all opponents and win the final victory.
Li Cha didn't care too much about these things. In comparison, he cared more about the materials in the Royal Library.
In other words, there are only a few hours left before the deadline promised by the Alliance Emperor Peter Romanov, so it is unlikely that he will really breach the contract. In that case, maybe he should consider going to the Royal Library to get it himself.
Thinking of this, Li Cha finished polishing the final content of the "Medium and Long-Term Research Plan", put down the quill pen, and tapped on the table.
"Papa, papa..."
In other words, if you really go to "pick up the package" in person, should you be more secretive, or more open and aboveboard? Or, notify Oscar and ask the other party to accompany ~IndoMTL.com~ to show that he only wants to fulfill the contract, and there is no unnecessary malice?
"Tuk tuk tuk."
There was a light knock on the door at this moment. From the sound, it was not Bibi, but a servant.
"Come in!" Li Cha said.
Sure enough, the next moment a servant opened the door and entered, reporting: "My lord, Mr. Oscar is here and wants to visit you."
Oscar is here... to visit... Could it be that he is delivering something, so he can save himself a trip.
Looking at the servant, Li Cha said briefly, "Take me to see Mr. Oscar."
"Yes, my lord." The servant led and walked out quickly.
