When she was alone with Sarlayan outside, Valeera was very capable in business matters, and she was also obedient to Sarlayan in all kinds of small matters, with a husband-wife attitude.
But as the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers.
After returning home, Valeera immediately regained her jealous nature and showed obvious aggression towards Onyxia's provocation.
It is inevitable for a family to fight and fight without hurting the harmony, but Sarlayan does not want the routine fights between the family to be taken advantage of by outsiders.
Under Sharlayan's greeting, Valeera and Onyxia temporarily restrained their "fighting spirit."
Stellagosa, who stayed behind in her territory, would certainly not be able to put aside all distracting thoughts and retreat peacefully like Sharlayan and Valeela.
Let’s not mention the various affairs in the territory. In addition to working hard to make breakthroughs, Little Xingxing also needs to spend time supervising the over-energetic Tinagosa. Sharlayan deserves to say thank you for her hard work.
As expected, Gianna was not at home.
According to Stellagosa, Dalaran's internal political struggle has just entered a critical period, and whether it can completely subdue Modera's faction depends on recent trends.
Yin Nasi and Julian were also busy with their own affairs and had not been to the Lord's Mansion for a long time.
"Aunt Yin Nasi has been living in the laboratory to solve difficult problems. Uncle Julian received a commission from Uncle Welles and went out on official duties two weeks ago. He has not returned yet."
Sarlayan nodded and said: "What about the situation at home and abroad? Has anything major happened in the Eastern Kingdom recently?"
Stellagosa: "Fortunately, countries abroad are taking the time to recuperate and recuperate. Many countries, including Lordaeron, have introduced many new policies to encourage childbirth."
"At home..." Stellagosa smiled and shrugged: "Kael'thas has been a little irritable recently. The old king personally walked out of the palace and began to ask about his candidate for queen. Many nobles are gearing up to try to send their daughters away.
Enter the court of the Sun Chaser."
"Haha" Sarlayan patted the armrest of the sofa in a funny voice: "It's about time. After all, Kael'thas is not young anymore. He should leave a descendant as soon as possible to inherit the family line of the Sunstrider royal family."
Valeera asked curiously: "So what is the specific situation? Which company does the old king prefer?"
Stellagosa shook her head: "I don't know, but at least I am sure that Anasteria has no interest in the daughter of a great noble family."
"The old king had no scruples in publicly criticizing the daughters that the great nobles tried to send to the palace as being rotten and unworthy of the position of queen."
"Hmph." Onyxia sneered and shook the red wine glass: "Actually, Anastria is right. Those corrupt aristocratic women who grew up in bank parties, you can expect them to keep their pants in check.
A belt?”
Sarlayan was not surprised by Anasteria's stance, he just didn't expect that the old king would give such a harsh and ruthless comment.
As the reform of Quel'Thalas gradually deepened, and after many war victories, Kael'thas, who had already secured his position, no longer needed to choose another great noble to stabilize his throne.
There is a saying in Danmu that there is no class that betrays the class, but there are people who betray the class.
In the history of other worlds known to Danmaku, those who betray their own class usually only have two evaluations.
An empty-minded idiot, or a generation of outstanding people who lead the changes of the times.
Due to the historical problems caused by Dath'Remar, Quel'Thalas has been governed by the royal family and the nobles for more than 7,000 years, and the power of the nobles was even allowed to override the power of the king.
In the early days of the founding of Quel'Thalas, this approach of concentrating resources on cultivating talents was not wrong.
After all, Dath'Remar was still facing a powerful threat from the forest trolls at that time, and it really needed the support of the nobles to maintain the fledgling country.
No system can be applied permanently, and implementation strategies must be adjusted based on the actual situation at that time.
But obviously, those with vested interests will not willingly sit back and watch the reform violate their own interests.
With Quel'Thalas winning the Troll War more than 3,000 years ago and losing the external threat hanging around their necks, the founding nobles who were once the backbone of the kingdom quickly declined.
The meritorious king Anasteria saw this and intended to support the emerging nobles who were honored in the Troll War to compete with the founding nobles. Most of these nobles were called royal nobles.
This internal struggle between the royal family and the nobles of Quel'Thalas lasted for more than 3,000 years. It was not until the orcs invaded Quel'Thalas and came to the gates of Silvermoon City that the winner was finally decided.
As a large number of the founding aristocrats who were seizing power, headed by the four nobles, were purged, the emerging nobles finally began to rise in the country.
There is an old saying that those who slay dragons will eventually become evil dragons.
Compared with the old aristocracy, which has long been completely disintegrated, there are still many families among the nobles who still retain their fighting spirit, but it is inevitable that there will be people who are assimilated by the hedonistic winds blown by the old aristocracy.
While Sharlayan was busy traveling abroad, the two Sun Kings of Anasteria and Kael'thas had been working on domestic political reforms.
As the largest noble in the kingdom, it is obviously impossible for the Sunstrider royal family to revolutionize their own lives.
At the end of Anastria's reign, it has indeed reached a point where it has to change. If no changes are made, Quel'Thalas will sooner or later be dragged down by those fat-headed rice insect nobles who only want to enjoy themselves and are unwilling to pay.
At Sharlayan's suggestion, Kael'thas reused those meritorious nobles who were still willing to work hard for the revitalization of the kingdom, and eliminated the poisonous blood that had long been corrupted.
At the same time, Kael'thas began to promote a large base of civilian talents, and established a complete talent training and promotion system to this end, allowing Quel'Thalas, which was like a stagnant water, to slowly flow again.
Ever since Kael'thas ascended the throne, he has been busy with domestic reform affairs and could not spare any time to pay attention to the inheritance of the family line. The position of the queen has always been vacant.
Fortunately, the lifespan of high elves is long enough, and Kael'thas, who is less than 1,000 years old, is not in a hurry. After this period of busy work, there are many events to slowly pick up.
Kael'thas thought so and did so.
With Sharlayan helping to share many complicated external affairs, Kael'thas can safely focus on domestic reforms.
Regardless of Sharlayan's endless success over the years, Kael'thas's continued trust is the most important support that allows him to freely roam around.
Sharlayan and Kael'thas cooperated very well inside and outside, but Anasteria, who had retreated behind the scenes, could not just watch her only son continue to hold back and not have children.
After consulting Kael'thas himself, the aging Anasteria walked out of the palace after a long absence and took over the matter personally.
The old king's public harsh comments made the nobles in the country look very ugly. He almost pointed at their noses and said, "You uneducated losers, don't even think about sending those children into the palace."
"I guess..." Sarlayan said thoughtfully: "This farce should come to an end in the near future. There is a high probability that the old king will choose a commoner woman to enter the palace and become the queen."
As Sharlayan's bedfellows, Valeera, Stellagosa, and Onyxia have all seen the changes in Quel'Thalas over the years, and they also pay close attention to Sharlayan and Kael'thas.
The reform plan implemented is well understood.
Sarlayan did not intend to completely turn the nobility into history. After all, his Deep Shadow family was originally a member of the nobility.
What Kael'thas and Sarlayan want to kick away are those wastes who are lying on the merits of their ancestors and do not want to stand up. They will use the rising power of the common people to add a sense of crisis to the noble elites and let them stand up again to revitalize their families and revitalize their families.
nation.
With the same amount of effort, noble children with more resources will be more likely to succeed.
With the long lifespan of the high elves, unless there is a cheating individual, how can the wealth and connections accumulated over thousands of years be easily surpassed by one generation?
If it weren't for the old nobles' desperate attempt to overthrow the Sunstrider royal family by colluding with foreign enemies, the foundation accumulated by the founding nobles in 7,000 years would indeed be stronger than the 3,000 years of accumulation by the nobles who rose up after the Troll War, let alone the small families that emerged later.
Already.
The nobles in Quel'Thalas are like this, and the same is true between countries.
The high elves with a history of more than 7,000 years are still trying to catch up with the night elves with a history of more than 10,000 years. If they are not careful, they may even be surpassed from behind by the human nations that are still working hard after more than 3,000 years of founding.
Individuals like Sharlayan who can achieve a class jump within one generation, from a noble descendant of the Troll War to the top boss of Quel'Thalas, are only rare in the end.
Another big reason for this is that he has the blood of the dragon clan, as well as various technical and intelligence assistance provided by netizens from other worlds.
To put it bluntly, what Kael'thas and Sharlayan want to do is raise Gu.
Through various policy adjustments, civilians are given opportunities and opportunities to rise, allowing civilians who are eager to get ahead to risk their lives to catch up with the nobles who are not lying in peace and are still saved, and promote the comprehensive development of Quel'Thalas through healthy competition.
Increase national power.
Against the background of this era, the first commoner queen in the history of Quel'Thalas will inevitably become a shot in the arm to stimulate the common people to continue their efforts.
