Chapter 687 The Prime Minister is ready to make a move
After Sharlayan rushed back to Unicorn Town after a long journey, he first went to the office to report to Valeera, Stellagosa and others that he was safe.
At almost the same time, the news that Lordaeron agreed to peace talks with Alterac was sent back to Quel'Thalas through Daniel's message, but Alterac, as the country involved, has not received the news yet.
.
Kael'thas urgently summoned senior cabinet officials and began to discuss what role Quel'Thalas should play in this peace negotiation.
Sarlayan, who was slightly tired, could not rest at home for long.
As an insider of the reason for Lordaeron’s change of attitude,
He has to rush to Silvermoon City immediately to attend this emergency meeting.
After opening the portal to send Sharlayan away, Little Xingxing sighed somewhat depressedly.
"It's not an option for Sharlayan to be busy from dawn to dusk. After hearing that, he will rush to Kalimdor to meet Aegwynn?"
Valeela smiled bitterly and nodded: "I have advised him many times not to arrange so many arduous tasks for himself, but... you also know his temper."
Stella Gosa rubbed her brows with a headache: "It's really hard to persuade that stubborn temper. Let's change our thinking."
"Except for tasks that must be performed by him personally,
We try to help him take some of the burden away."
"We?" Valeera asked hesitantly: "If you, the chief secretary, leave,
What to do with territorial affairs?”
Stella Gosa said with a smile: "I have been prepared for a long time. I have trained a group of assistants since last year. I can't always be tied to the territory and work stupidly."
One thing to say, excluding Onyxia, who is already an adult dragon, Stellagosa is the highest level among the three-person team.
Sarlayan's progress is very fast, but because he divides the experience gained equally between warriors and Thornspeakers, his warrior level does not increase as fast as Stellagosa's, who is dedicated.
It is undoubtedly a bit unfair to tie Stellagosa to serve as a civil servant in the territory.
Sarlayan had received advice from Little Star before, encouraging her to select and train a group of capable and trustworthy secretaries, thus freeing Stellagosa from the heavy clerical work.
The Earldom of Deep Shadow has developed to this day, and there are many daily management matters that Sarlayan, as the lord, no longer needs to keep an eye on all day long.
He only needs to make decisions on major matters, and the middle and low-level officials below will complete his orders.
In Sharlayan's absence, it fell to Valeera and Stellagosa to lead the development of the realm.
Onyxia? That violent happy person didn't cause trouble. Thank God. Sharlayan never expected her to provide any constructive suggestions for the development of the territory.
Of course, this is not to say that Onyxia's management skills are poor.
On the contrary, Onyxia in the original history was able to stir up trouble in the Kingdom of Stormwind.
He even unknowingly caused King Varian to disappear and split, and fascinated Duke Bolvar Fordragon.
Her wrists are clearly visible from this.
However, having the ability does not mean that she will wholeheartedly use it for the right path.
The Black Dragon Princess is essentially a fun-loving person who fears chaos in the world.
Let her make decisions as the acting leader of the territory... Sarlayan is worried that this guy will make some ridiculous decisions out of his own interests.
Moreover, Onyxia in this timeline is not the evil black dragon princess in the barrage.
Before Onyxia really started to do evil, she was lucky enough to meet Sharlayan, and through the black dragon Dragon Queen Sinestra, she was rescued from the dead road to "Send".
Today, Onyxia still likes to have fun, but following Sharlayan and others for a long time, she has learned some bottom lines and knows that there are some things that can be done and some things that should not be done.
Sharlayan didn't expect much help from Onyxia, but Stellagosa, who had been in charge of the territory's internal affairs recently, could see some clues.
Onyxia has been promoting the development of the entertainment industry in the territory in her own way... although on the surface it seems that she is just having fun.
When Onyxia learned the news of Sarlayan's return and hurried back, she was quite depressed to learn that Sarlayan had left without stopping to attend a meeting in Silvermoon City.
After hearing about the plan to reduce Sharlayan's burden from Stellagosa, Onyxia also became interested.
The three giants, plus Tina Gosa who was watching the excitement, hid in Sarlayan's office for a long time, and finally came up with a preliminary plan.
…
At this time, Sarlayan still had no idea what his girls were thinking.
After learning Terenas' true physical condition and mental state from his mouth, Kael'thas felt a little sad.
"Terenas in his early years was indeed worthy of being praised as wise. The victory in the Second Orc War became a turning point in his life."
"From the high-spirited leader of the alliance just after the victory of the war to the weak and sick man who has betrayed his relatives and friends, such a big change has occurred in just six years.
I must also take this as a warning."
Kael'thas' emotion didn't last long, as Darkan, who held the title of chief civil officer, quickly brought the topic back.
"Ahem~ His Majesty's self-reflection is impressive, but for now let's get back to the topic."
After the Silver Moon Council was reorganized into a cabinet, the originally extremely limited number of members has continued to expand.
But now they are no longer called MPs, they are called cabinet ministers.
As the chief civil servant, Darkan is the prime minister of the cabinet and should be the first civil servant in charge of cabinet affairs.
However, due to issues left over from history, he, the prime minister, is a polished commander with little real power. His daily job is to drink tea and read newspapers.
After six years of retirement as a veteran cadre, Darkan began to feel a little restless no matter how good he was in cultivating his qi.
In order to ensure the smooth operation of the new government of Quel'Thalas, the division of labor in the cabinet has become more and more detailed, and the number of cabinet ministers has also increased. Many capable people have been recruited. At first, they were unwilling to follow the opposition and go against the royal family.
of declining aristocratic officials.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Recently, Darkan has been secretly trying to win over allies in the increasingly expanded cabinet. Although the results have not been great, his sudden change of attitude has attracted the attention of the Backlight Blade thieves who are monitoring him.
of vigilance.
But Kael'thas thought this was a good thing, at least he finally took action.
What Kael'thas was worried about was not that Dar'Kan had desires, he was more worried that Dar'Kan had not made any move and always showed a lack of desire.
Having desires means that he will have weaknesses that can be exploited.
With how intensely Darkan was under surveillance, every move he made was watched by Villes' thieves.
Darkan himself knew this very well. He clearly took this opportunity to tell Kael'thas - I am going to come out again, but I will act within the rules you set and will not overturn the table if I disagree with you.
To this day, Darkan still holds many connections and resources left over from the old nobles.
The centipede is dead but not stiff.
Even though most of the old nobles have gradually declined under the pressure of Anastria, they still retain some of their heritage. No one knows how much harm these heritages will cause to Quel'Thalas when they explode.
It is for this reason that Anasteria and Kael'thas have never dared to push Dar'Kan over the wall.
At least now Quel'Thalas can't afford the consequences of Dar'Kan turning over the table regardless.
Kael'thas' idea of cutting flesh with a dull knife to limit the privileges of the nobility and promote social vitality by promoting common people was seen by Darkan.
To be fair, although Kael'thas' move will undoubtedly harm the interests of most nobles, in the long run, these decisions will undoubtedly be beneficial to Quel'Thalas.
Darkan is ambitious and always wants to usurp the royal power and expand his own power, but his ability cannot be denied even by the old king Anasteria.
Many nobles only saw the immediate gains and losses, believing that they had suffered losses during the vigorous reforms of Quel'Thalas, and would suffer even greater losses due to the deepened education reforms in the future.
Darkan doesn't think so.
Indeed, from the perspective of short-term interests, the nobles will undoubtedly take the lead in making sacrifices during the reform.
In Dar'Kan's words, Kael'thas' long-term plan is to make Quel'Thalas a bigger piece of cake.
Although part of the enlarged cake needs to be given to the common people who were looked down upon by the nobles in the past, if the full reform is really completed, the share of benefits that the nobles will get will not be less than when they were complacent before.
Seeing that the number of cabinet ministers is increasing, the development prospects of Quel'Thalas are getting brighter and brighter, and the precursors of the coming prosperous age can be vaguely seen. Dar'kan can no longer stay out of the matter. He also wants to be a member of the founders of the prosperous age.
Qing history.
Under Sarlayan's somewhat surprised gaze, Dar'kan effectively fulfilled his responsibilities as the chief civil minister and presided over the meeting skillfully and steadily. Kael'thas seemed to have no objection to this.
'What's going on? I've only been gone for more than two months, and things have changed in Quel'Thalas?'
