Chapter 773 Strange Experience

Of course, what Perseus is most concerned about is the superstructure, that is, the attitude of the royal family.

Kino and the people under his command have just watched it, and their position is very clear. The attitude of the remaining five major families on the matter of the crown prince will greatly affect the future situation.

Perseus took the lead in reviewing the Heqi family represented by Lan Xian. After reading the letters of recommendation one by one, the result was not too unexpected. The people they recommended were all Andre.

Andre has been helping with government affairs since he was a child, and he often asks Lan Xian for advice. The two of them can be said to have a relationship between teachers and friends. It is normal for the Hutch family to show this tendency.

The situation of the Regnome family is similar. Andre followed Lan Xian when he was a child, and Bolton followed Sting when he was young. They all have very close relationships, so Sting took the lead in recommending Bolton, and other Regnoms.

The tendency of the Mu people is basically the same.

What slightly surprised Perseus was that the person recommended by Lorna was Bolton, not Solandel, who had a close personal relationship with her.

In terms of personal relationship, Lorna is definitely much better with Solandel than Bolton, but maybe in Lorna's heart, Solandel has always been the childhood playmate who grew up, and she doesn't want to ask for help.

Randall shouldered the heavy responsibility of being a queen and never even considered this possibility.

Perseus continued to read the letters of recommendation from Eric and the Dagon family. Both parties also recommended Andre. The reasons were simply that Andre was familiar with government affairs, a steady man, and what the people wanted.

Currently, the support ratio among Andre, Bolton, and Solandel among the royal families is 3:1:1.

In fact, there is no need to read the last remaining letters of recommendation from the Trojan family. The Trojan family has always advocated force. Most of the family retainers served in major legions and had close contacts with General Bolton. They must be standing behind him.

3:2:1, this result is quite a relief to Perseus, at least there is no exaggerated imbalance.

Although the result has been anticipated, the letters of recommendation have been written and cannot be taken away without opening them. It would be better to see what the Trojan family members wrote.

Perseus opened the letter of recommendation from Edward, the leader of Troy, and as soon as he looked at the recommender in the first line, his eyes froze.

Edward recommended not Burton, but Andre

How could it be Andre?!

Perseus quickly opened the letters of recommendation from other Trojans. He read them one by one, and the more he read, the more frightened he became.

"Prince Andrei is popular and expected by the people, and I am willing to recommend him as Crown Prince."

"I have known Prince Andrei for more than 20 years and know him well. If His Highness is crowned king, he will definitely continue the glory of Doguland."

"My servant was born into a poor family. Later, I was fortunate enough to be promoted by Prince Andrei. He made outstanding achievements in the army and married into the Trojan family. Today, I not only promote talents for the kingdom, but also repay the kindness of knowing and meeting me back then."

At the end, Perseus was shocked to find that not only Edward himself, but also more than 70% of the Trojan family's important ministers had recommended Andre, among which Burton's support rate was less than 30%.

This result greatly exceeded Perseus's expectations. He originally thought that a military family like the Troy family should belong to Bolton's "basic base", but he did not expect such a result.

In addition to the accident, there was also a deep confusion. Perseus really couldn't figure out why the Troy family recommended Andre? The person who had the closest contact with them was obviously Bolton, so why would they choose to take root?

In the field of civil servants, Andre, who usually has almost nothing to do with them?

Perseus put down his letter and went to the palace library. When the administrator saw His Majesty the King arriving, he immediately bowed respectfully.

Perseus: "Find out the list of generals of each legion and give it to me."

"As ordered." The administrator came to a bookshelf with ease and handed a thick roster to Perseus.

Perseus is usually busy with national affairs and focuses on macro-level things. Unless there is someone he particularly cares about, it is impossible to keep an eye on the life history of each minister. Personnel appointments outside the palace are basically left to

Lan Xian and Sting will do it.

Perseus pulled out a resume with the name "Kevin Troy", who is the current commander of the "Frosthoof Legion".

It can be seen from the resume that Kevin was originally from a poor civilian family in a remote area. He joined the army at the age of 18 and served in the army for 4 years. He had always been ordinary, but at the age of 25, he was suddenly promoted to a centurion.

Later, he was promoted to the rank of deputy general of the legion. Finally, he won over other candidates in a general change and became the chief general of the legion. A few years later, he married into the Trojan family.

There are many examples of counterattacks by children from poor families. Especially among the legions, soldiers from poor families are more willing to endure hardships and have more opportunities to make great achievements than those pampered noble soldiers.

It was not that Perseus had never seen someone like Kevin who came from a poor family and rose to become the leader of an army, but there were two very strange things about this man's resume.

The first point is the age of 25. Normally, the promotion path for ordinary soldiers should be first to corps commander, then to sergeant, and then to centurion. This promotion method of jumping two levels in a row is either to make great achievements.

Or there's someone behind it.

First of all, it is certain that Kevin did not have any great achievements at that time. If he did, it would definitely be recorded in the files. But he was a commoner from a poor family and not a nobleman. Who could be behind this? This kind of promotion is really strange.

The second point is from the level from the deputy general of the legion to the chief general of the legion. From the development history of the Frosthoof Legion, we can see that when the previous chief general retired and changed the leadership, there were two candidates for the next chief general, both were deputy generals, and one was Kai

Wen, the other is a member of the Regnom family, named Norden.

The gap between the children of poor families and the nobles may have a slim chance of being smoothed out through hard work, but the gap between the poor families and the nobles can be described as a chasm.

Kevin had not yet married into the Trojan family when he was running for general. How did he squeeze out Norden from the Regnom family and become the general himself? Perseus was puzzled.

Perseus wanted to check the legion's internal affairs information at these two points in time, but found that the information was inexplicably missing, and the administrator could not find it.

Later, Perseus discovered some remaining traces from other files.

It turns out that Norden was actually the one who stabilized Kevin and was basically the appointed leader, but he was later involved in a case of reselling controlled materials and was pulled out of the way.

Once Norden fell, Kevin was the only candidate left, so he naturally took over.

It is not uncommon for a legion general to commit a crime of dereliction of duty, but Perseus felt that something was wrong. He took a look at Norden's relevant information and found that he had been imprisoned for 30 years for his betrayal and was still locked up in the dungeon of the royal city.
