Throne Steps

The thriving career suddenly showed signs of being in danger. The sense of crisis made Xiao En transform from a listless and depressed state into a hardworking bee in winter.

Focus on analyzing the data, mobilize all brain cells to connect what has happened, answer or guess Saenz's questions with all your strength, write down any questions in your mind, and solve them regularly.

She is the head of the intelligence department, and the things she knows can be described as massive.Once she starts making inferences, many things can be logically connected.But the problem is that this is like Sudoku or Scrabble. If you get to a very deep place and suddenly the road is blocked, it is very likely that you will have to overthrow everything and start over again!

Both Saenz and Li Chen are more sensitive than Sean in this aspect, so they play the role of negating wrong ideas as soon as possible.As long as the two of them shook their heads, Sean would not be discouraged, and quickly went back to his own train of thought, even if he had to start all over again.

She worked so intensively for half a month, Li Chen was a little dumbfounded, this is simply a model worker!If she often maintains such a work intensity, it's really not surprising that she will appear in the exhausted state when we first meet!

To be honest, when Saenz announced that Sean would enter the intelligence department more than 20 years ago, and even quickly climbed to the position of intelligence chief, Li Chen had reservations about this situation, and some people and confidants of Saenz’s faction were even more so. express objection.

Their doubts were actually not unreasonable. Sean was originally good at alchemy and had little experience in intelligence processing.She entered the intelligence department, and the speed of her rise was so fast, it was difficult to convince the public.In addition, Sean is a girl of noble origin, and it always makes people think that she will run home to marry someone and then take care of her husband and raise her children.

However, Saenz at that time was just a young man who had just graduated from Pesa, and urgently needed an intelligence chief who was completely subordinate to him to escape the grasp of these intricate factions.In the end, Sean was chosen, which meant trying to rush the ducks to the shelves.

Fortunately, Saenz has good vision and luck.

Although Xiao En couldn't handle intelligence proficiently at the beginning, she made rapid progress and dared to start when managing the intelligence department.When she first started carrying the big banner, she would ask Li Chen for a loan when she became flustered, but such a thing will not happen now.The concentration, meticulousness, and daring to explore in the field of alchemy made her quickly become an excellent intelligence manager, and also made her original nickname "Witch" in Pesari popular among the Saenz faction. recognized. The phrase "learning ability is interoperable" has been very well reflected in "Witch".

And Li Chen, who had been "crazy" with her for half a month, now only felt that Saenz owed her, the head of intelligence, a pennant of "a role model for the people".

What Li Chen didn't know was that because of getting along with him for half a month, Xiao En refreshed his understanding of him again.

This political sensitivity and reasoning ability, Xiao En really wants those people who have been whining all day long because Saenz is close to the black swan to come and see, let them understand what is meant by "there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside people"!A single Li Chen is worth a whole strategic response team, if not for the fear that his opinion may be biased, I am afraid that Saenz can leave many matters to him to directly decide.

Because this person is not only alert, but also behaves very much like Saenz, or in other words, can imitate very much like Saenz.

It is not unreasonable for Saenz to summon this black swan to accompany him every time he is injured.

Well, just like Cervantes, many people in the Saenz faction who understand Li Chen's strength are thinking: It would be great if there was such a person by my side.

Smart enough, caring enough, and loyal enough.

For Sean, there is another one, that is, he brought the tall and mighty but dull and cute Clermont by his side.

Well, when it comes to Clermont, Sean is depressed again.She really doesn't know what to do, no matter how clever your tongue is, Claremont will just keep going with the changes, and won't take the trouble at all.It is impossible to increase favorability through interaction.

Especially after writing a very clear and resolute letter of refusal to Sean, Clement seemed to be ordered to ignore Sean, even daring to treat her like nothing in person.Sean was about to explode, but what can he do, that's...

"... Sean? Sean!"

"Ah? What?" Sean came back to his senses, and found that the two big men were looking at him, and he couldn't help showing some embarrassment on his face.Because the two had just started discussing where they were going after the new year, she was distracted for a while, and she didn't expect that the two would have time to control her.

"...Just now I said, let you sort out the current courtiers' information as soon as possible after the next year." Li Chen reminded, "After all, according to this trend, the king is likely to ask for a vote. If..."

"Wait, what vote? What does the king want to do?" Sean said like a cannonball, "Why do the courtiers vote?"

Li Chen was stunned for a second, then wiped his face, and sighed: "I've been distracted since then..."

"Uh...sorry." Sean could only admit his mistake, "When you were talking about your next year's schedule, I thought you were going to talk about a personal topic, so I was distracted...sorry."

Li Chen said helplessly: "Then you really walked very thoroughly, are you starting to lose your spirit again?"

"No." Sean straightened his face, "I promise it's just an accident."

Saenz said: "Okay, you can briefly explain to her what we just said."

Li Chen turned his head and glanced at Saenz, then turned his head to look at Sean, who immediately sat upright.

"Okay." Li Chen paused, as if he was thinking about where to start, "Then, you always know that he's going to ask the king directly for a conferment order, right?"

Sean was still at a loss and said, "...Huh?"

No way... Li Chen suddenly turned his head to look at Saenz, Saenz just shrugged his shoulders: "I didn't tell anyone about this, you guessed it yourself, what do you think?"

Li Chen narrowed his eyes: "You mean, I want to start from the beginning?"

Saenz smiled and said, "If you think it is necessary."

"If necessary...!" This is nonsense, how can we talk about the latter if we don't talk about this major premise?The part to be explained was forced to be extended, Li Chen didn't hold back, and pointed at Sarns on the spot.

Sean didn't know what that meant, but she could guess that it must have been comparable to swearing.

Saenz was rather happy: "Anyway, you have already told Cervantes, so you don't need to rethink your thinking, just follow what you said before."

Xiao En's eyes widened: Is Li Chen the propagandist of His Highness' plan now? !

Li Chen told Sean again what he had said to Cervantes, but this time he did not guide Sean to interact, and he no longer talked about it in an inferential tone.

After talking about Saenz's decision to skip the patriarch and go directly to the king for a seal order, Li Chen finally started talking about what he wanted Sean to do just now.

"According to the king's style, if he is asked to make a decision on this matter, he is definitely not willing to take full responsibility." Li Chen said, "Then, the most likely thing is that he asks the courtiers to vote on whether to issue this order. "

"Wait." Sean interrupted, "The king may let the courtiers vote to decide this matter, where does this news come from?"

Saenz flipped through other things beside him, and raised his head with a smile when he heard the words: "It's not news, it's inference."

"Push..." Xiao En was taken aback, then looked at Li Chen, "Isn't it your opinion again?"

Li Chen pushed the responsibility lightly, and pouted in the direction of Saenz: "He guided me to think."

Saenz said: "It doesn't matter who thinks, what matters is that this is very likely to happen, so we have to be prepared."

"However, courtiers also have different scopes." Xiao En thought for a while, "How big is the scope of voting?"

"That's why we asked you to investigate." Saenz replied, "You must have all the people who can participate in the affairs of the Great Court Conference in your hands, so that you can make complete preparations."

"The Grand Court... 47 people?! Wait, after the justice left office last year, the new justice hasn't come to power yet, but he must be counted, right? That's 48 people?" Sean frowned, "I don't think so That's right...the king can't let so many people decide the fate of pure white, right? Wouldn't the king's deterrent power be completely weakened? How could he let go of such an opportunity to become famous?"

Li Chen raised his eyebrows: "Yo, have you reacted?"

Sean glared at him: "Could it be that you were playing with me before?"

"I can't fool you, but the 48 people really need to be investigated." Li Chen replied, "The ten people in the Xiaochaohui are the most likely voting range. But the ten people represent the interests of various factions, and I want them not to vote. Abstaining, favoring us, is not an easy thing to do."

Saenz liked to hear him use the word "we" at this time, so even though Sean secretly looked at him with a questioning look, Saenz still had an expression of "Li Chen is right", and did not change it. Respond more.

Li Chen continued: "Of course, if the king really announces that he will vote to decide this matter, then there must still be a period of time from the announcement to the actual vote. But collecting information in advance can allow us to win over more targeted Ballots. Even, if your data shows that it is almost impossible for us to win in a situation where ten people vote, then we have to find a way to expand it beyond the ten people before the king announces the voting range."

Redia Continent is not a parliamentary system, and Sean is not very familiar with the techniques in the voting system, so he could only ask bluntly: "How to win votes? How to expand the scope of voting?"

"What's the point of asking?" Li Chen looked at him with some surprise, "Exchange of interests, what's wrong?"

Sean knocked on the table with his backhand: "This is election bribery."

"Don't speak so harshly. We are just anxious to make people favor us." Li Chen smiled, "It's not even counted as reciprocation, it's just to make others like you, isn't it against the law? This is normal. The goal that everyone wants to achieve... oh, of course you don't care if people like you or not."

Of course Sean didn't care about other people, but she cared about Clement: "I think you're mocking me. Besides, I need to see examples of the difference between the two you mentioned."

"It's not easy." Saenz interjected lightly, "Dawn Judge."

Sean was stunned for a few seconds before he came to his senses.Because of the bribery, the two Shuguang judges were sacked, but the people who succeeded them were also succeeded by some groups.It can be seen that regardless of success or failure, the exchange of interests is obvious.

"By the way..." Sean remembered something again, "His Highness asked me to investigate Pavchenko's expulsion from Pesa. After I confirmed that there was a shadow of the chamber of commerce, His Highness stopped the investigation. Then he continued The person who serves as the judge of Shuguang..."

Li Chen winked at her: "It's ours."
