Under the old king's long-term instruction in the King's Thick Black Learning, Kael'thas gradually lost his former innocence and immaturity and became more calm and sophisticated.
But deep down, he is still the gentle and gentle gentleman.
Kael'thas would not kill anyone easily unless he was completely cornered.
Under the double persuasion of his abdicated father and his friend Sarlayan, he temporarily put aside his resentment towards the four nobles and put national affairs first.
The next morning, Kael'thas came to the palace meeting hall early and held his first court meeting since he officially ascended the throne.
The senior military and political leaders of Quel'Thalas gathered together and bowed respectfully to the new Sun King who was sitting on the throne.
Kael'thas didn't like to show off, so he waved to the officials present and immediately brought the topic to the point.
Before Anasteria abdicated, she had preliminary discussions with the Silver Moon Council on some reform plans. The first thing Kael'thas mentioned was the reform, setting the tone for his current ruling direction.
In Saryan's view, these plans were superficial and not deep enough, but they were in line with Anastria's governing style in his later years.
Don't seek merit, but seek no faults.
But having said that, these relatively mild reform plans are just right for Kael'thas to practice.
He can take this opportunity to examine the abilities of officials, continue to appoint those who are suitable, and transfer those who are not suitable.
There is a saying in another world that a new official takes office with three things in mind.
When the new king ascended the throne, the officials below had already been prepared, and they could guess that Kael'thas would definitely want to make some achievements as soon as possible.
Kael'thas decided to first follow the excessive policies left by Anastria. In Sharlayan's words, this is called boiling frogs in warm water, and slowly let the groups who have been deprived of their privileges feel the rising water temperature.
By the time they realized they had to fight, it was already too late.
In order to maintain the stability of the country, Kael'thas, who had just taken office and had not yet figured out the depth of the situation, did not plan to reform the army for the time being.
Nominally, most of the powerful legions are under the control of the royal family, but once Kael'thas shows his intention to touch those officers' cakes, the situation may be different.
With his military position hanging over his head, Saryan could not blatantly intervene in the internal affairs plan during the court meeting.
He simply looked at his nose, his nose and his heart with his half-closed eyes, and watched with interest the various opinions expressed by the key political master in the barrage on the national affairs of Quel'Thalas.
Kael'thas is young and enterprising, and he has practiced and studied with his old father for a long time. He is not as slow as Anastria in handling government affairs.
[High emotional intelligence: take your time.]
After resolutely arranging those tepid excessive reform policies, Kael'thas changed the topic and invited the night elf representative Fandral Staghelm, who had not yet left Silvermoon City, to enter the hall to play.
During yesterday's banquet, many Quel'Quel'Thalas officials had heard about Fandral Staghelm's intentions, but the specific circumstances could not be discussed in depth at the banquet.
After entering the meeting hall, Staghelm's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and in a loud voice he re-explained the details that he had told Sarlayan.
After Deer Helmet finished speaking, there was the sound of whispering.
Silvermoon Chancellor Darkan Drasil frowned slightly: "Arch Druid Staghelm, you mean that Master Stormrage hopes to summon all the elven races to help the night elves formulate a new national system?"
"Leaving outsiders to help with matters related to the country's development direction and system? Isn't this..."
As an evergreen figure in the political arena of Quel'Thalas and the hand-picked meat of Anasteria, Darkhan was unable to understand Malfurion's brain circuitry.
Lu Gui smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "That's the fact. The Grand Master must have other considerations."
Kael'thas had already known the inside story in advance through Sharlayan's notification. He turned his attention to Talvir, the leader of Syndra scholars, with an unchanging expression.
"Sir Taller, what do you think?"
Talvir came out and explained: "Your Majesty, due to Queen Azshara's powerful rule, the night elves have already had a psychological shadow on the powerful leader who holds the power."
"After the sky fell apart, they could no longer accept a new king and maintained this anarchic and loose government system for ten thousand years."
"Now we suddenly want to reformulate a new system and corresponding policies. In the absence of sufficient internal affairs talents and relevant experience, it is normal for us to not be able to think of a suitable direction for a while."
[To put it bluntly, I have been fooling around with Tyrande for too long, and now I want to sit up in a panic, but I don’t know how to stand up. 】
【Grass, incisive.】
Kael'thas continued noncommittally: "Do you think we should participate in this rally?"
Most of the Syndra who moved to Quel'Thalas were scholars who liked to enclose their territory for their own purposes. People like Talvir who were knowledgeable and interested in state affairs were definitely considered genetically mutated individuals among the Syndra.
Since reaching an alliance with the draenei, Syndra has been learning from draenei scholars and technicians, eagerly absorbing the new knowledge from alien civilizations.
The draenei's magic tree and technology tree both have something in common with Quel'Thalas. For example, both sides like to use puppet creations, but there are quite a few differences in how they use them.
Sindra wants to turn learning results into practical benefits, which cannot be achieved within one or two years.
Fortunately, the overall peaceful tone of Azeroth will remain at least until Dark Portal 16.
Before that, even if there were occasional disputes within and outside each country, they would not rise to the level of a full-scale war. There would be enough time for Syndra to slowly absorb nutrients.
Talvel shook his head humbly: "Your Majesty, this choice should not be decided by me."
"As one of the invitees, Syndra is inclined to attend the gathering, and may be able to take this opportunity to close the relationship between the several major elven branches."
Kael'thas nodded: "Send the order to invite Grand Magister Elisande and Spider Queen Justina into the hall for discussion."
Since they had passed the Qi in advance in private, Elisande and Justina also agreed with Talvir's suggestion, and they both decided to personally attend the gathering of the elven races held in the Dreamland of Val'sharah.
Dar'Kan was not familiar with Malfurion's behavior, and he suspected that there was another conspiracy behind this matter.
But with the support of Calpurnia, Solanlian, Liresa and Vonderor, Darkan and his last puppet councilor could not hold their legs, so they could only hold their noses and pass the resolution to participate in the conference.
When the Silver Moon Council needs to vote, it will use a voting method. Each of the five members has one vote, and the speaker holds two votes. The odd number of seven votes can avoid the embarrassing situation of a tie.
Although Darkan was able to ensure that he won three votes steadily, it was of no use when the opponents were unanimously united. Almost every vote was 4 to 3, which made Darkan shake his head helplessly.
Kael'thas had a faint smile on his face: "Then it's settled...Calpurnia."
"exist."
Calpurnia bowed slightly respectfully: "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
Kael'thas looked at Calpurnia with calm eyes and ordered: "I have just ascended the throne and must stay to deal with many chores in the country. You will be the representative of Quel'Thalas to attend this conference."
Calpurnia was originally a member of Parliament responsible for diplomatic work. She had anticipated Kael'thas' decision and accepted the task with a smile.
Before the meeting ended, Kael'thas glanced at Sarlayan, who was fishing all the way, seemingly unintentionally, and received a look of approval with satisfaction.
Due to the privileges granted to Sarlayan during Anastria's reign, he did not have to sit in the military camp for a long time like other generals and could move freely according to his own will.
Of course, the premise is that it will not affect the combat effectiveness of the Chenfeng Legion.
Liadrin, the tool man, is there to support the troops in the military camp, and Sharlayan will only visit the Morningfront camp once a week to make sure that the newbies who have joined the legion are not slacking off.
Kael'thas himself was unable to participate in the conference, and he could not completely trust the four nobles, so it was natural for him to place his confidants among the delegation.
This task fell to Sarlayan.
As a rule, this kind of grand meeting attended by officials at all levels will only be held once a month.
At other times, the king and the Silver Moon Council will discuss and decide on various policies, and relevant officials will only be summoned when necessary.
After the monthly grand meeting, Sharlayan planned to return to the Deep Shadow Mansion to pick up Valeera, Stellagosa and others and return to Unicorn Town.
But before leaving the royal court, he suddenly received a joint invitation from Elisande and Justina.
