The Righteous Player(s) - Chapter 734

[Chapter 262 Grand Duke Annan]

Ironically.

After the death of the previous King Noah, the Noahs have held the succession ceremony for two months, and the ceremony is still not over and the successor has not yet been determined.

Kaphne and her brothers and sisters are still fighting fiercely in the dark and in the dark – at the same time, it does not even affect the normal operation of Noah’s kingdom.

On the night after Grand Duke Ivan became a dragon, Annan completed the succession ceremony without hindrance.

When Annan came to the throne, his older siblings hadn’t even had time to go home.

Even so, nothing happened when the power was handed over… After all, those who actually control this country are not so much the ministers or the grand dukes, but the Hands of Winter.

The main work of the Grand Duke is only the decision of the general direction.

Those “hands of winter” who “hold the precepts” are in a sense the highest level of the country – they not only have the power to discuss policy directions with the Grand Duke, but are even responsible for specific supervision and implementation.

Those Hands of Winter, who are all over the country, are not only responsible for monitoring the nobles and officials in various places, but also the supervisors of these policies.

These top ranks of the Hand of Winter, who form the “Ten Fingers Bearing the Ring”, are equivalent to the cabinet of the Duchy of Winter.

When Archduke Ivan could not move at will, it was the “Ten Fingers” who ruled Winter.

Today, only six of the ten fingers remain.

Because of the rebellion initiated by Vladimir, the Winter Defender, the power of the Hand of Winter has shrunk significantly – the four external powers of “military and political”, “espionage”, “diplomacy” and “foreign trade” have also been recovered. Hand of the Archduke.

So far, the “ten fingers” of Winter’s Hand have not yet been completed.

This is not because Ivan Lin Dong does not have the ability to find such four trustworthy people from the hands of Winter… This is actually for Annan’s sake.

The other six “Ten Fingers” have all seen the excellent methods of the young Annan.

They more or less know Annan’s origins, understand Annan’s close relationship with the twelve righteous gods, and have seen Annan’s demonic wisdom.

Then, after Ivan’s death, they won’t have any bad thoughts about Annan… and Annan can also “use” them normally.

And if Ivan fills up his fingers again at this time, he will face a new problem –

“Those who are loyal to Archduke Ivan may not be loyal to you; those who believe in Archduke Ivan because they know him, But they haven’t witnessed your talent…”

At the morning table, a mature woman with dark blue curly hair and a gentle temperament whispered while sitting on the table.

On the ring finger of her left hand was a transparent ring emitting cold air.

She and Annan were the only two on the table—because the ten-finger named “Zuo Ya” was in charge of all the internal affairs, including Grand Duke Winter’s diet, sex, travel, and dressing up.

Now that Annan has officially succeeded to the throne, Zhuoya will naturally continue to serve him.

Annan asked her to eat with him, so Zhuoya would naturally not refuse.

Insert one sentence, [Change Source Artifact] is really good, it is worth installing it, after all, you can read books in cache and read aloud offline!

In fact, the reason why she didn’t eat with Duke Ivan was not because Ivan didn’t let her share the table with her, but because Duke Ivan was too weak… She had to keep an eye on whether Duke Ivan choked, sudden illness.

Not only eating…even bathing, changing clothes and going to the toilet, Ivan is always under Zhuoya’s attention.

Just worrying about the sudden fall, choking or sudden death of Archduke Ivan – this is indeed a possibility.

But now that the Grand Duke has become a healthy Annan, she doesn’t have to worry so much.

However, the other “ten fingers” have their own government affairs to deal with.

The ten fingers who can stay in the Grand Duke’s mansion for a long time and get along with Annan all the time are still only “the ring finger of the left hand”.

Ivan Long was too hasty.

It fell to Zoya to teach Annan how to become a qualified Grand Duke.

“I understand, Aunt Zhuoya.”

After Annan swallowed the food, he calmly said in an orderly manner: “Father is hoping, let me fill these four positions myself.”

“But my suggestion is…for the time being. Don’t appoint ‘Ten Fingers’.”

Zhuo Ya said solemnly.

“I understand.”

Annan nodded: “After all, I’m still young, even with your help and support, I haven’t even seen other nobles and officials in Winter… It’s hard to get their approval.

“A high-level appointment at this time? Or a personnel change.

”

This will lead to instability within the Hand of Winter.

My idea is that some new decrees or other big events can be thrown out first to grab their attention.

”

… Annan is really relieved.

Zoya sighed silently and contentedly.

Much better than his stupid brother.

Your Excellency Dmitri, obviously has a conspiratorial face, but his personality is not On the

contrary, it is too simple.

He does not like to be suspicious of others, and he will not be wary of people – if it is Dmitri who inherits the throne of the archduke? Then after listening to Zhuoya’s proposal? He will definitely think about it directly. ” It does

n’t matter, I don’t think it’s so complicated.” And so on.

And Maria doesn’t care about those people at all.

She is undoubtedly a born tyrant – Zoya would rather Dmitri succeed than Maria Succession.

Because Maria cares more about relatives than friends? Cares about friends over strangers? Cares about outsiders over enemies. She has very clear “priorities” in her actions, and this priority depends only on her goodwill… If If she becomes archduke, then it will be unabashed cronyism? Decision-making based only on preferences.

Are these old people okay? Maria is also very good with them? A group of impatient but likable idiots came up and sat in high-level positions.

Can Annan, a smart man, inherit the Duchy of Winter? It is undoubtedly a blessing.

Although Annan is not as gentle as Ivan…not like Ivan? Can make friends with everyone.

His wrists are undoubtedly much tougher than Ivan’s.

But now Noah is also replacing a new king, and the one from the United Kingdom is said to be dying… The world is about to enter a “new generation”.

Being tougher at this time may not be a bad thing.

“So, about the decree that attracted their attention… do you have any thoughts?”

Zhuo Ya asked in a low voice.

“Show me the spy list first.”

Annan replied: “We sent to other countries. Other countries sent to us.”

He wanted to see this before.

But even as the first heir, Annan doesn’t have the power to touch this.

Because this is the authority that originally belonged to the “middle finger of the right hand” and is now fully vested in the Archduke, not even the Archduke’s wife, children, or parents can touch it.

Soon, a hand of winter handed over a thick stack of documents.

…a lot of surprises.

Although the “right hand” that represented the attack in Winter’s hands was almost abolished, but with the best efforts of the “right thumb” to maintain it, at least it was not completely abolished.

Annan took a general look – the intelligence personnel in Noah are the least, followed by the Church.

In the United Kingdom, which has no borders at all, Winter has buried at least 30 nails… This is not unrelated to the chaos in the United Kingdom.

But the most, but also the number of underground world.

There are more than ten people in the official Hand of Winter alone – including the peripheral members, and the temporary members who have not even entered the Hand of Winter, the spies who have broken into the underground world, there are a total of 186 people.

Most of them exist in the form of illegal armed forces and mercenaries, but three of them have become “diggers”.

Annan checked carefully, but did not find the name of “Winter Defender”.

……what happened?

This made Annan frown slightly.

This was slightly different from what he thought at first.

But when Annan checked the three highest-ranking spies…

he got some windfalls.

“This is…”

Annan was stunned.

One of the three… Annan actually knew each other.

He was immediately fortunate… Fortunately, the nail was not used when checking the fallen.

Because the deepest nail that the Principality of Winter broke into the underground world… was the overseer of the sporozoite mill.
