The Governor of Cairoli has prospered in Lanfang, and Carlo as king is certainly not bad at all. Now he lives a very leisurely life. After many ministers changed their attitudes, he can also come into contact with the daily life of a monarch.
work.
Don't think that Carlo will be an adult in one year, and these jobs or powers will be in his hands. If it weren't for his excellent performance several times before, he might still be busy with his studies, not to mention gradually gaining power now.
Now that he has the power, Carlo will not let it slip away from his hands, so he has been working hard to adapt to this life during this period.
"Chief of Guards, please have this document delivered to His Excellency Bacona at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
"Chief Guard, I have already read the plan from the Ministry of Transportation. Please leave it to the Prime Minister for processing."
"Chief Guard, bring me some food, I'm hungry."
Carlo took the simple food sent by the captain of the guard and listened to his next arrangements while eating.
"Your Majesty, you will meet with the Minister of Agriculture, His Excellency Mark Leder, at two o'clock in the afternoon. The estimated time is one and a half hours, and then you are preparing to receive Bishop Malif, who is the bishop of Palermo. He is a friendly party to our country."
Hearing this, Carlo couldn't help but said, "Why does the Vatican still want to choose a pope who hates our country even though Pius IX was inspired by God? Do they really intend to continue fighting with our country like this?"
The captain of the guard couldn't answer what Carlo said, because it involved too much and he, a little captain of the guard, couldn't interrupt.
Of course, Carlo did not expect the captain of the bodyguard in front of him to speak, because the difficulty of getting along with the Vatican can be said to be a stubborn problem in post-unification Italy. So many prime ministers have taken over, and there is still nothing that can be done to the Vatican. It is simply a matter of falling into the ashes.
Don't fight, don't fight.
Take the current Pope Leo XIII. This pope sends letters of protest to Italy more than twice a year on average, protesting against Italy’s plunder of the church. In addition, he also seeks help from Germany, France, and Austria-Hungary.
Help, let them fight against Italy together. They are simply anti-Italian diehards, shot ten times, but they still want to lead the Vatican against Italy.
Of course, if you strip away the pope's anti-Islamic stance, he is still very capable. He is resourceful and passionate, and attaches great importance to the economic benefits of the Holy See. Soon after he came to power, he acquired a large amount of Austria, Bavaria, France and Belgium.
stocks and securities. In addition, various enterprises were established, such as electric automobile companies, flour companies, and Roman banks.
Politically, Leo XIII inherited the views of his predecessor Pius IX, advocating that the Roman Catholic Church should resolutely oppose political freedom and democracy, oppose the separation of church and state, and oppose civil liberties and freedom of religious belief.
But in terms of actual policies, he showed greater flexibility. Shortly after taking over as pope, in order to unite France against Italy, he pointed out that Roman Catholicism did not only pursue one form of government, but also opposed the popular views of French Catholics against the Republic.
Any one of the three forms of monarchy, aristocracy or democracy can be accepted, and it is hoped that the Catholics of France will retake the Papal States for the highest good of the church.
Okay, let’s circle back to the issue of the Papal State. The people in the Vatican have not given up on the Papal State yet. They still want secular power after having divine power. They are really a bunch of old stubborns living in the Middle Ages.
The Italian government is fully aware of the Vatican's actions, but given the Vatican's status in the world, Italy cannot take any action either.
Carlo sometimes really envied communism, at least he didn't have the confidence to say, "How many divisions does the Pope have?"
But now the Vatican issue does not require him to have a headache, it is enough for the Prime Minister.
After taking the blame, Carlo felt much better and was more motivated for the rest of the trip.
After Carlo had a simple lunch in the office, he continued to process documents.
Then there was the meeting with the Minister of Agriculture, and then the meeting with the Bishop of Palermo.
When both of these are completed, today's work comes to an end.
At the beginning of the lanterns, Carlo, who was physically and mentally exhausted, cheered up and had dinner with his family. His younger brother, Prince Vittorio, was seventeen years old and looked handsome and upright due to the family's excellent genes. The two sisters were no longer as before.
The elves are eccentric, and every move they make while sitting on the table looks very ladylike. Only occasionally can you feel their childlike innocence through a flash of beating emotion in their eyes.
Carlo couldn't help but sigh in his heart, everyone has grown up a lot.
At this moment, I saw my mother, Queen Mother Margarita, tapping the cup with a spoon, making a tinkling sound, which brought Carol back to reality.
"Carlo, I have something to tell you."
Carlo felt a headache as soon as he heard his mother's words. "Mom, I told you that I have no intention of attending the banquet at the moment. I need to focus more on government affairs."
Faced with Carlo's words, the Queen Mother continued to speak. "Carlo, this is not your matter alone, this is a major event for the entire kingdom. It is simply unimaginable for the king to have no queen."
After finishing speaking, Queen Mother Margarita glanced meaningfully at Nia, who was standing behind and felt a little uneasy.
Well, the pain of urging marriage that Carlo did not enjoy in his previous life was made up for in this life.
"Mother, I am still young and there is no need to worry about choosing a queen."
Facing the forced marriage of his mother in this life, Carlo felt a little helpless.
"Why don't you worry? The choice of queen is very important to Italy. It doesn't matter if you like it."
When her mother Margarita said this, she glanced at the little maid who was about to lose her balance.
"Mother, you must give me time to think about this... this issue."
"So how long do you need?"
It was obvious that Carlo's delay did not achieve his goal, at least Queen Mother Margarita did not intend to let him go just like this.
Carlo, who was being stared at and asked by his mother, didn't know how to answer. His brothers and sisters sitting aside watched with relish as Carlo, the older brother, shrank in front of their mother.
"Mom, Vittorio has actually reached the age where it's time to get engaged. Because as a king, I don't have a choice right now, but Vittorio definitely can."
Vittorio opened his mouth wide and looked surprised as he watched his brother plausibly use him as a shield. The spoon in his hand fell to the ground without even realizing it.
"Mom, I've finished eating. Goodbye."
Carlo, who hadn't eaten a bite, quickly left his chair and ran away, leaving only his stunned family members.
Seeing her eldest son fleeing quickly, Queen Mother Margalida looked a little disappointed, but she turned to look at her second son and immediately recovered.
Vittorio, who was looked at by his mother, immediately felt a chill coming over him.
