Chapter 562 General Office of the Near Ministers
Pavel sat on a big soft and comfortable chair, his eyes blurred. This was a small secret room. It was originally the place where Blood Queen Katarina summoned her favorites to plot state affairs. After Katarina's death, it became Pavel's house.
The private chamber. Of course, it is also the private chamber of Queen Denis.
Compared to the noise outside, it was so quiet here, so quiet that there was only the crackling sound of firewood burning in the fireplace. Apart from that, the only sound was probably the breathing of the queen and a few ministers.
The seat under the buttocks was padded with animal skins and blankets, making it very comfortable to sit on. In addition, the temperature of the flames constantly emanating from the fireplace heated the room to the extreme. Pavel would have fallen asleep in such an environment. If it weren't for
According to the Queen's wishes, he might have fallen asleep in this chair long ago. He held on just to wait for the Queen to finish this "important" meeting.
Is it really important? Pavel doesn't think... According to Queen Denis, due to the numerous affairs of the kingdom, she can't handle them all by herself, and urgently needs a team to help her handle the work at hand. To this end, she will set up a close minister's office
The Office is composed of a small number of trustworthy ministers. This organization will assist the king in taking charge of large and small affairs within the kingdom. It will provide the king with solutions when encountering urgent matters.
Yes, this is what Dennis wants to do. It is very important... But, in Pavel's view, it is not that important. He has left all the unimportant matters to his wife to handle, so, she
It's her business how to deal with it, as long as it's dealt with. Pavel doesn't care what means Queen Denis uses to solve the problem. Those tedious "little things" have worn out his patience a few months ago.
"Although this is for the sake of Kislev as a whole and the future of Kislev, once the general office is established, it will inevitably arouse suspicion and dissatisfaction among some people."
Denis sat on another ivory chair and spoke in a clear voice. Everyone focused their attention on this young and wealthy queen.
"Some people, my dear queen, you can speak more clearly, there is no one else here anyway."
Pavel sat on the big animal skin chair and asked breathlessly.
"For example, those who hold high positions but were not elected, several former ministers, and your uncle, Duke Samuel."
Dennis answered seriously.
"Are you talking about my uncle? Oh, please, he is not that kind of person. If Samuel is the kind of narrow-minded person you said, then he would have stood up against me when I married you.
Yes. You know, he has always wanted his little daughter to marry me."
Pavel leaned on the chair and said with a contented expression.
"The situation at that time was different from now. At that time, he had no choice and the situation was determined. But now, he has a choice."
"If you are worried, you can elect him as a member of this office."
Pavel returned casually.
"Dear His Majesty the King, it seems that you still do not understand my intentions. The Office of the Minister is an organization, an important organization responsible for handling the daily affairs of the Kingdom. The original intention of establishing this organization is to better serve Your Majesty. In order to do
At this point, this organization must be pure, without any impurities, without any personal grudges and interest entanglements. However, your uncle is different."
Dennis glanced at his husband and continued——
"I'm sorry, I don't mean to belittle your uncle, but as the Grand Duke of Kislev, Sam'il's joining will inevitably destroy the balance of the ministerial office. When dealing with the daily affairs of the kingdom, it will inevitably be
Personal wishes are imposed. At that time, considering your uncle-nephew relationship, it will be difficult for me to handle some affairs."
"To put it simply, are you afraid that you won't be able to control him by then?"
Pavel waved his hand and said lightly.
"I didn't mean that..."
"Okay, it's okay, just make your decision."
Dennis was about to explain, but was interrupted directly by Pavel. The king sat on a large chair, absent-minded.
"All right……"
Looking at the absent-minded king, Denise felt helpless. She sighed inwardly, and then handed Pavel the list she had prepared.
"This is the framework and structure of the Office of the Minister, as well as the personnel composition. Your Majesty, please take a look at it and tell me if you need to adjust it."
In front of several ministers, Denis handed Pavel the parchment with his name on it.
After receiving the list, Pavel briefly looked at it. He knew most of these people, and many of them were the nobles who followed him in the past. They were promoted by him as new ministers after the fall of the Catalina dynasty. Dennis promoted them
,Absolutely no problem. Pavel thought to himself.
"Wait a minute, does the queen mean to promote Vladimir and his son into this office?"
Pavel watched and asked about the candidate for military chief.
"Well, you and I both know what Vladimir is like. He will never seek personal gain from public affairs and disrupt the normal work of the office. Moreover, Vladimir has rich practical experience and military knowledge, which will help the military
This is exactly the candidate we need."
"What about Virgil?"
"He is the captain of the Royal Palace Guards, and his duty is to protect the Palace and ensure your safety, Your Majesty."
Dennis replied calmly.
"Okay, that makes sense."
Pavel nodded and turned to the next page.
After looking at the entire list, he didn't make any changes and handed it back to the queen unchanged.
"Your Majesty, do you agree?"
Dennis asked.
"I can rest assured that the queen is doing things."
Pavel returned with a smile. He squinted his eyes slightly and continued to enjoy the soft animal skin cushions and the warm fireplace.
"You can make changes to this list."
Dennis said that the implication was to ask the king to arrange for his own people to come in to dispel Pavel's concerns. However, Pavel did not seem to have any thoughts in this regard.
He looked at the queen with a smile, "You didn't even arrange for Samir, let alone others?" Pavel said with a smile.
Dennis knew that his husband meant no harm, he was just always so direct...
"Duke Samuel, I will find time to interview him."
Dennis whispered.
"Is there anything else?"
Pavel urged.
"Then, the Office of the Minister is officially established today. From now on, all government affairs must be approved by His Majesty the King before being promulgated. Government orders can only be issued with His Majesty the King's fingerprint."
Denis continued. Pavel nodded.
late at night……
When Denise walked out of the secret room, her mood was undoubtedly complicated and worried. The establishment of the Office of the Minister is like a double-edged sword. It can consolidate power and make the Bandaga Palace operate more efficiently. But at the same time, it is bound to
Excluding others.
Dennis knows that from today on, he has more enemies... They may not dare to confront him openly, but they can make small moves in private. People's lives are still full of suffering. If the lives of civilians cannot be improved,
In life, all kinds of complaints will start again. And these negative emotions are very likely to be exploited by some people with ulterior motives... Dennis knows the stakes very well, because his father also relied on it to develop.
In fact, in the eyes of the common people, they don't care whether the king is a human or a vampire. What they care about is who can truly improve their lives and make them no longer poor... If this cannot be done quickly, Katrin
All the turmoil during Na's reign will one day happen again...
Dennis thought this way, and the evening wind blew, and he couldn't help but feel a bit chill... It's been a long time since he went to the magic academy to study magic... In the past, he was not afraid of the cold...
