Chapter 563 Where Is the Glorious Ancestral Land?

As soon as this statement came out, if there was news that the Sun King was seriously ill, it was still a top secret that was only circulated among a few high-level officials in the kingdom.

So now, everyone in the entire Yangyue world knows that the Sun King is approaching his end and has little life left, so he needs to find a successor.

So whoever can become the Prince of Light can become the next generation of Sun King and the new master of this ancient kingdom.

And because Anton VI is obsessed with women, he has never expressed preference or affection for any of his children.

Therefore, all the eight children except Eleanor felt that this was their most promising episode, and they all started the exciting action to seize the inheritance.

This time it's good, it's not adding fuel to the fire, it's adding fuel to the fire and pouring water on it, crackling, coming in and out of a burning camp.

But coming out to hang out requires background, especially after Philip and Fia formed an alliance immediately and built a campaign group.

Prince Glenn, the eldest of the nine sons, immediately attracted Prince Tita and Prince Karls, who were interested, and also formed an alliance.

The weaker Princesses Ava and Kesha sided with Princess Maren, who came from the northeast of the kingdom and backed the wild faction.

In this way, the eight royal children were divided into three factions, and were given the titles of "Air Boat", "Three Kings" and "Northeast" by major newspapers.

Although the Sky Boat Faction has a small number of people, the advantage is that the brothers and sisters are united and there will be no internal fighting.

And as big nobles who are good to the players, they not only have a solid southern vote bank, but also a large amount of wealth and goods as bargaining chips.

"Family members, the king is sending gold bars!"

Food, clothing, housing, and transportation must come first, and then there can be integrity, etiquette, and righteousness. No matter where you are, there will definitely be more poor brothers than rich brothers.

Therefore, under the simple and crude money offensive, a large number of lower-class people and small nobles chose the interests in front of them and became the supporters of the Sky Boat Faction.

Although the three princes of the Three Kings Faction have nothing to do with Duke Xiguang and Duke Arclight, the leaders of the Royal Capital Faction, they are all descendants of the established nobles of the Royal Capital, so their basic base is the Gyeonggi region.

The good news is that because Prince Glenn is relatively old, he is very steady in doing things and has a very low desire value. He will not be as indulgent in sex as his father.

The bad news is that Prince Glenn is too old. He just celebrated his 60th birthday last year. Standing with the little princess Fia, he looks like her grandfather. Who knows how many more years he can last.

In comparison, Prince Tita, who is only in his forties this year and is in his prime, is much better. However, this devilish muscular man who has had a relationship with Ji Ming is also a martial arts madman. He may be tough on his wrist, but at all. He doesn't have the talent to be a king.

As for Prince Carls, who is two years younger than Ji Ming, but has more illegitimate children than Glenn...

Well, I am a hero, we can at least be sure that he is definitely Anton’s biological son (certain)!

More importantly, although the three princes seemed to stand together driven by interests, in fact no one was convinced by the other internally.

They all feel that they are the one destined by destiny and the best leader who is most suitable for the current Sun King. It is difficult to prioritize.

If there wasn't a group of more important nobles suppressing them, maybe the trio of old, middle and young people would have gone full martial arts.

Compared with the noisy Three Kings Sect, the girls' dormitory of the Northeastern Sect next door is actually relatively harmonious.

It's not because the older girls are virtuous, it's just because the two princesses, Ava and Kesha, are too weak.

Not to mention fighting alone, together they are no match for Maren. They can only be obedient and pure pendant players.

"Sister is amazing!"

In short, the three campaign teams launched a wonderful canvassing campaign throughout the kingdom in order to ensure that their main candidates won.

But soon, because Marun alone had the support of both the Eastern and Northern Territories, he had not only the most powerful power among the Nine Sons, but also the determination and hope of the opposition faction to take control of the capital.

The three kings and the princes of the Sky Boat Faction didn't even have time to attack her. Instead, they were hit by the Northeast Faction's powerful and continuous blows.

Not to mention public opinion and image, even the trade routes in Yuanshan Territory fell apart due to various reasons.

As a sister-in-law, Phillip definitely didn't want to suffer this loss, so he made a bold move and immediately launched a counterattack.

The three princes, who were still unhappy with each other, were forced to unite under external attacks and the pressure of several dukes.

"Wait, brother, you..."

"Is it possible..."

So both sides looked at me and I looked at you, and found that each other only had one place of support, and they all suffered a loss at the hands of the black hand Maren.

In addition, both Philip and Feia are the heirs of Duke Arclight, so they will definitely prefer the royal capital faction where their grandfather belongs to the opposition faction.

Therefore, although the two sides did not form a direct alliance, they also launched a series of friendly cooperation under Lord Arc's consultation.

Let's unite and stop the arrogance of our good sisters!

So Philip launched a classic trade offensive, manipulating the invisible hand, and carried out large-scale commodity price increases in the Northeast region.

However, he did not embarrass basic resources such as food, meat, and coal that are closely related to people's lives.

Instead, they focused on those luxury goods with relatively high added value that the nobles had to buy to maintain their dignity, and carried out ruthless price increases.

"If you don't buy it, others will. Even if you use it to flush the toilet, it won't be given to you!"

The three kings launched a counterattack against Maren in the capital region. After all, Huiguang is a kingdom, and no matter how rampant the opposition is, it cannot leave the many industries of the capital.

So Prince Tita conducted a thorough security inspection and directly ordered several factories and shops in the northeast to close, forcing the opposition to reconsider the current gains and losses, and naturally dared not continue to be rampant.

But even so, the three factions only maintained a balance, and it was still a bit difficult to distinguish the superiority and make Anton VI, who certainly did not want the kingdom to split, choose him with absolute advantage.

However, after working hard for a long time, the three factions actually only shared four realms, while there were a total of five realms around the Huiguang Kingdom.

So who is this ignored fifth realm? The answer is the unlucky West Territory, which has always had a low sense of existence and cannot even find a duke in the territory.

But it was a pity that it was in the past. As a vast land without any forces, the West Territory became a battleground overnight.

Just like the world's largest idol event, swing states are definitely more popular than strongholds, and for a while the West even had a bit of a revival.

"Are you playing a monkey?"

Of course, the people of the West, who had suffered so much, didn't actually believe in these royal families.

It's just that the food was delivered to them, and as the most pragmatic group, they still had to open their mouths, which was more or less a blessing.

In this process, although the three families were more noisy than each other, they quarreled in a mess.

But both the church and the Sun King himself adhered to a neutral attitude and did not express any opinions on this from beginning to end.

Until the end of February, this royal war intensified.

Even when a super tug-of-war was launched around the personal morality of an earl in the capital, the Sun King finally took action.

Although the old man must be unhappy with the opposition, he is a man of flesh and blood, and he is not a Tang Dynasty man, so he can't be cruel enough to kill his own daughter.

So he did not attack Maren who tried to disintegrate the Royal Capital faction from within, but brought out the ancestral law and still maintained a neutral attitude to stop this farce.

He started with a classic sentence among classics, "There are no treacherous ministers, they are all loyal ministers!"

Then, "The original intention of Earl Qingshui was good. Although the execution was bad, the starting point was indeed good, just a little bad."

The church also said that it could give Earl Qingshui a chance. The Holy Light is merciful. The atonement roll is on sale for a limited time. The old man can be purified of his sins by the Holy Light if he pays 100,000 or 80,000.

Under the chain of firefighting by these two parties, this debate that almost forced a great noble to death was barely brought to an end, and the precedent of "forcing the noble to death" that "people" were terrified did not set.

So at this point, the Sun King, who was really afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, did not dare to continue to let these naughty children who were about to tear their faces apart for a "toy" go free.

After resolving this major crisis, he directly ordered all his descendants to go to the ancestral land, and they must arrive by March 15th at the latest, without any delay.

It sounds normal, but as the old man's favorite concubine + messenger, the beautiful maid who knew the situation of the royal family well was stunned when she heard it.

"Yes! Uh... Your Majesty, this matter is serious, can you say it again?"

The Sun King was so angry that he slammed the table on the spot.

"I want all my descendants, whether they are crowned kings or young sons, to go to the ancestral land. Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes..."

Although he said this word by word, full of the kingly aura of the monarch.

But after this order was passed down, the great Anton VI regretted it within three days.

It's nothing, the number of children under his name is too damn much!

There are hundreds of recognized descendants on record, and the number of unrecognized illegitimate children is twice that.

And since you are planning to gather the royal children together to participate in the event, don't blame everyone for coming to join in the fun.

For a time, the whole country was in turmoil, and a large number of widows and even married men announced that their children were actually royal children and wanted to go to the ancestral land to recognize their relatives.

"Oh my god, there is such a cruel job?"

According to rough statistics from major newspapers, after the release of this royal order, in just half a week, the number of children claiming to be of royal blood in the country... oh no, at home and abroad, exceeded one thousand, and the growth rate is still accelerating.

If Yangyue is a "Crusader Kings 3" big world, then the announcement of [bastard birth] should have filled Anton VI's vision, which is all old and blurry except for the girl's face.

According to the estimation of professionals, if this continues, when Anton VI arrives at the ancestral land on March 18, at least 8,000 sons and 7,000 daughters will be seen here waiting for battle.

If such a huge number is true, then the production efficiency of [Super Seeder Anton 6.0] is far higher than that of rabbits.

If the old man grits his teeth, eats something cruel, and takes some tiger and wolf medicine, maybe he can even compete with the Zerg!

"Nima!"

Anton VI's original intention was actually good, that is, he wanted to turn himself into a cage and lock all his descendants around him in this troubled time.

In this way, no matter what the final result is, at least no one will be able to overturn the table on the spot, and there is plenty of room for maneuver.

And after a few days, when the dust settles on the crown prince issue and the results are announced to the world, it will be too late for those who are dissatisfied to make trouble.

Alas, life is not easy. If I can complete this handover of royal power in the gentlest way, it will be considered a great achievement.

But who would have thought that after the order was issued, there would be such a surprise?

Grandma, I'm about to die, and I have to add another scoop of shit to my already notorious reputation!

At this exasperating and ridiculous critical moment, Anton VI originally wanted to call an emergency stop.

But Jun Wuxi said that he had already shouted about Count Qingshui once before. If he shouted again, the value of the king's life would be greatly reduced.

He had no choice but to change his words and announce that he understood that the children's life was difficult and it was difficult to leave the fiefdom, so he allowed everyone to apply not to go.

At this time, someone may ask, since the only way to avoid going is through application, wouldn’t it be enough if everyone doesn’t apply?

Don’t you understand? The key point is who should apply and not go? The point is who the king thinks applied and didn’t go!

In short, due to the extremely precise and error-free statistical capabilities of the civilian staff, in the end, most of the heirs took the initiative to apply.

What, you said you didn't write an application?

It doesn't matter, we have archives here...ah what? Oh, sorry, the file library was burned down last night.

Having said that, Zai, if you have any objections, you will be unable to get along with your good father.

So only a few of the unscrupulous heirs persisted in their opinions, and in early March they got the order of passage signed by the Sun King himself.

So who are these treacherous sons who don’t give face to their father? Of course, all the heirs of the royal family who hold real power and may overturn the table.

But there was only one exception, and that was Eleanor, because she was the only one among thousands of children who took the initiative to apply and not go.

"If you don't do my job, why not work overtime?"

In short, under the operation of the Sun King, the eight crowned kings and more than ten royal heirs with official positions set out in the middle of the year to the ancestral land of the Kingdom of Glow.

Interestingly, this Glory Ancestral Land is actually located in the western border of the kingdom. After all, the first Sun King of the little lion was just a country boy at the beginning.

However, a knight like this has no fixed abode, and the young man has no childhood sweethearts waiting for him to return home, so the matching Queen Ma was kidnapped from the wealthy owner of Qixia City.

Therefore, after Little Sun succeeded in ascending to the throne and became a great monarch of a country, he did not regard his hometown as his hometown, but made his natal family, which had given him a lot of support, the capital of the country.
