Little George never expected that after waking up from his dream, he would become the king of England.

The shadow that had been shrouding himself suddenly dissipated, and the father George I, who never liked him and even regarded him as his enemy, actually died.

It’s good to die! It’s wonderful to die! It’s quacking!

The news made little George cheer, and he even wanted to shout at everyone: "Damn Father, this is the punishment God gave you!"

However, on the surface, little George pretended to be extremely painful and sad, and accepted the fact of this pain (happiness) with tears in his eyes.

The sudden incident made the original plan stand down, and Churchill could not leave for the time being. At this time, Churchill knew very well that it was his own opportunity. Since the old king passed away, the next step is to ascend the throne. As the new king's private secretary, Churchill is lucky.

The next morning, Churchill accompanied George Jr. and others to move from Hampton Palace to Kirkpetter Palace, and began a series of work to prepare for the new king's ascension to the throne.

Britain was different from the Ming Dynasty. The Western etiquette of ascension to the throne could not be as complicated as that of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, Westerners do not read the almanac, so they naturally do not have the habit of choosing auspicious days.

At Kirkpett Palace, George Jr. first accepted the allegiance of the British nobles who came to London one after another. This was a necessary step for the new king to ascend the throne. Only after obtaining allegiance from the nobles can the new king be qualified to proceed to the next step.

Next is the Cabinet and the Privy Council. Before the Glorious Revolution, whenever the old king dies, the Cabinet and the Privy Council will be automatically disbanded until the new king ascends the throne and then reorganizes.

However, after the Glorious Revolution, Queen Anne made new regulations. Although this system was not directly abolished, Queen Anne stipulated that when the new and old kings were replaced, the Cabinet and the Privy Council were automatically re-employed by the new king to maintain political stability.

It is precisely because of this regulation that from George I, there is no need to disband and then reorganize the Cabinet and Privy Council, but the necessary procedures still have to be done.

In addition, in the British Parliament, the succession of the new king also requires the consent and support of the parliament. After all this is completed, the new king will have the right to succeed the throne in the legal sense and ascend to the throne.

Half a month later, George Jr. officially ascended the throne at Kirkpett Palace, and after ascending the throne, he was called George II.

From this moment on, George Little has truly become the king of England and no longer has to be afraid of anything.

George II was extremely busy as the throne and became the queen. Although he had been the Regent for a long time, his Regent at that time was just a rubber stamp and had no rights. Now he has become a real king and has to make a series of arrangements for many state affairs, including personnel.

During this period, Churchill lived in his apartment in London and went to Kirkpett Palace every day, and still assisted George II as a secretary. However, Churchill's official appointment has not come down. This is not that George II forgot Churchill, but because he had to handle a series of affairs of the cabinet first.

The British Cabinet was not established for a long time. In addition to the king, the government was borne by the Privy Council. A hundred years ago, the initial cabinet had just begun and gradually formed its later appearance.

The term cabinet is different from China in the Western world. In the Western cabinet, it is a secret room. In other words, the initial cabinet was just formed by the king and several ministers in small conference rooms (secret room). By the time of George I, since George I was not in the UK for a long time and could not speak English, it was extremely difficult for him to communicate with his ministers, so the king gradually did not participate in cabinet discussions.

In this case, the cabinet must have someone responsible for the king, which creates a chief cabinet minister, also known as the Prime Minister, used to communicate between the king and the cabinet.

Robert Walpole's original position was Secretary of Finance. George I asked him to preside over the cabinet meetings and coordinate the work of various departments, and the cabinet system was officially formed.

When George II first ascended the throne, he had to familiarize himself with and appease the previous cabinet members, including the Privy Council and the members of the parliament, and he was almost too busy every day.

Churchill was very patient about this. He had been assisting George II in his daily life and did his best to do it meticulously. His pragmatic attitude made George II extremely satisfied. As time went by, the two were not only monarchs and ministers, but also friends with very good relationships.

It was not until a month passed that George II, who had firmly settled in the position of king, gradually escaped from the daily busyness and truly exercised his rights as a king.

On this day, Churchill came to Kirkpett Palace as usual. When he first arrived, the king's eunuch, the former housekeeper William, told him that His Majesty the King would see him.

"Dear King, Lord, Lord." Following William to a study in the palace, William signaled Churchill to a later date, and then pushed the door and reported.

"Let the Lord come in." George II's voice rang.

Churchill walked in and saw George II standing in front of the bookshelf salute and greeting him respectfully.

"Lord, you are here." George II nodded to Churchill with a smile, then called him forward.

"Thank you for your hard work these days."

"This is what I should do for Your Majesty." Churchill answered sincerely.

"Do you remember the promise I gave you?" George II asked with a smile. Without waiting for Churchill to answer, he picked up a signed parchment paper on the table and handed it over: "Look at this."

Churchill's heart suddenly started to beat violently. He had guessed what it was. This thing was always what Churchill was waiting and looking forward to, and today it finally came.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Churchill still pretended to be calm on the surface, and with a slight doubt, took the parchment roll with both hands and slowly opened it.

When he saw the content written on it, as well as the signature and stamp of George II flying dragons and phoenixes, Churchill was extremely excited.

"College Minister..." Churchill read out the title of the post granted by George II, which was a new position, but Churchill is not unfamiliar with it, because Churchill and George II had exchanged several times on overseas territories in these days. The British overseas territories have always been the responsibility of the Minister of the Southern and the Trade and Plantation Committee of the Privy Council. Such a responsible structure is very unfavorable to the management of overseas colonies, and there are often cases of different government affairs and disputes between each party.

To this end, Churchill proposed to George II to establish a separate colonial management agency to be fully responsible for colonial affairs to the king. Now George II not only established the Colonial Department at Churchill's suggestion, but also appointed him as the Minister of the Colonial Department, referred to as the Colonial Minister.
