At the entrance of the garden, a neat and majestic guards were on both sides. Zoe and Klozell were smiling in advance. They walked a few steps to meet Tsayya who had just arrived.

"District Mayor Takaya, I'm glad to see you again."

Zoe grabbed Takaya's hand and greeted her warmly. Klozel's already narrow eyes were almost smiling in a line. While shaking hands, he grabbed Takaya's arm, just like a friend he hadn't seen for many years.

"Brother Tsheya, I haven't seen you for so long, I miss you so much... No, I should call you the House of Representatives now. I heard that those families even intend to make my brother the position of chief speaker? This is a great news. If things really come true, I will definitely come to the door with a generous gift to congratulate me. I just hope that I won't ignore my brother at that time..."

Takaya's warm smile froze immediately. Zoe, who was beside him, simply turned his face away, too lazy to see his ugly flattering face.

In the cunning situation of competing with faces, Zoe believed that he was willing to accept the disadvantage. No matter how there was no limit, he would not reach the level of shamelessness of Klosel.

Didn’t you even talk about “old guy” before?

Why did you meet a real person more enthusiastic than you meet your own father?

Zoe spat in his heart, not hiding his contempt.

Of course, if this flattery really works for Zhe, he will join the "kneeling" lever without hesitation.

After all, a big man who is expected to reach the highest position of the "Explorers Association" in the future is no less than that of a king of a country. Even if he is constrained by the House of Representatives, the power he holds is unimaginable, and it is not comparable to a district mayor back then.

Intersecting with such a big man is actually not considered a weak person. However, compared with his current status, the head of Baidi's district is equivalent to a rank of a country. If calculated according to the title, it is definitely the level of a duke. It is the greatest advantage of both of them. In addition, they have had the experience of living and dying together, so they will naturally go further in the distance, and it will be extremely convenient to make profits for their country in the future.

If we can really establish a close cooperative relationship, as a matchmaker, the two of them have already had a prominent position in China and will reach a new level.

Of course, Zoe, who is already in the position of prime minister, no longer cares about higher power and interests. Even the issue of title that is most favored in the court has nothing to do with Zoe.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this royalist who was as solid as a rock in the Battle of Valentine was deeply trusted by the two generations of Leah. It was only a matter of time before His Highness Taylor returned triumphantly and the reward of the hereditary Duke of Zoe was granted.

While having reached the peak of power of a country's minister, Zoe did not pursue fame and fortune, so he had a good relationship with Zhe because of two aspects. One is the strong character and shrewd political ability of the district mayor, which is worthy of being a friend. The other is that cooperation with Baidi can gain more benefits for Leah, and in the long run, it is beneficial and harmless.

Due to the above two reasons, Zoe has long set standards for himself in the process of interacting with Zheye - no matter how the status of both parties changes, he should not flatter or despise or neglect. He should uphold the friendship between gentlemen as light as water, make friends with his heart, and state affairs are second.

On the other hand, Kloser naturally would not think so.

No matter how contempt is, as an old opponent who has been tit-for-tat for many years, I'm afraid no one knows better than Zoe's cunning fat man, how embarrassed he is in today's situation.

His huge change in his attitude towards Zhe was not only due to his own personality, but also a way to protect himself without hesitation.

Today, after experiencing a series of crises between Modarick and Benuga, he personally led the team to Maran's life and death. Kloser's contribution was not surprising, but in this regard, where there are already few wars, it is definitely a radiant light.

But this time, the expedition team returned triumphantly, but Kloser was still the Minister of Justice.

Jones XIII was not without rewards, but they were just property and real estate. In the eyes of ordinary people, it may be a literary figure, but for them, who have reached a certain level, they are all insignificant fireworks.

Originally, the Ministry of Justice was the most special department among the six ministries of Kuman. It was in charge of torture and punishment by the officials across the country, and it also established a spy network to fight against spys from foreign spies. It was amazing.

But it is precisely because of the huge power in his hand that it is easy to cause other ministers to be wary and even the royal family, so the Ministry of Justice does not have any real power to participate in court debates. The Ministry of Justice's status is ultimately lower than the other five and a half heads.

Klozel wanted to change this situation but was unable to do so. The punishment and rewards would inevitably offend countless interest groups. The court was full of enemies. The most important thing was that even the royal family, the shrewd His Majesty Jones, had absolute trust in him, but he always maintained a trace of doubt and guard against him.

Therefore, he, the head of the Ministry of Justice twenty years ago, was known as the youngest upstart in the court in Kuman. Outsiders seem to be cruel and ruthless executioner who can stop the crying of babies, and a loyal dog who is deeply trusted by His Majesty the Emperor, and he has never made any progress.

Today, twenty years have passed, and Klozel is no longer young, but he is still much younger than Zoe, but Sanrao's status has gradually risen from its original basic level to a difficult-to-reach barrier.

This time, the life-and-death battle that endangers the entire continent, Klozel's outstanding performance in the face of danger still failed to get him the reward of being promoted.

In fact, Zoe and Tse were not aware that after returning to China in triumph, Jones XIII immediately summoned Klosel to his private meeting, hinting whether he would be willing to become the new finance minister of the country.

Although it is only a level allocation, in the eyes of most people, finance is far higher than that of the Ministry of Justice. What does it mean to be in charge of a country's property naturally speak for itself. Holding the lifeblood of the country's economy is better than a group of dark mice, which one is better than the better and less.

So to the outside world, this is tantamount to promotion, and it is a recognition of Kloser's contribution.

But this does not satisfy Klosel's ambitions.

Let him hand over the Ministry of Justice, which has been working hard for twenty years, and hand over the contact network that has been built with great effort and countless lives?

This nominal promotion is clearly a disguised stripping of power!

Jones XIII's approach disappointed him. No matter how loyal he showed, he still could not gain the absolute trust of the emperor.

Now that the war is over, the crisis is over, and a long and stable recovery period is about to enter, His Majesty Jones is ready to take off the grind and kill the donkey.

At this point, Klozel really envies Zoe.

This old dog who had been fighting with him for decades was obviously mediocre and far inferior to himself. He was cautious and could only be pedantic and conservative, but he finally gained the trust of the Jin family. He was relieved that he also served as the prime minister and the Ministry of Trust, and handed over most of the country's power to him without reservation.

Such power and favor are unprecedented and unparalleled, let alone the princess's temperament, who is destined to personally be awarded the title of marquis and rewarded to this old man who made great contributions in the future.

Don’t Klosel want to win the same honor!

It is not impossible to let him hand over the power of the Ministry of Justice. Klosel did not expect to receive the treatment of Zoe as a double-position. He only had the position of prime minister.

Although at his age, if he really takes this position, Kloser is willing to wait, as long as His Majesty the Emperor is willing to make a guarantee.

In addition, Kloser can also accept staying in the position of the Ministry of Justice for the rest of his life. When Tuan was old, he took the initiative to retreat, carried the title of "duke", returned to his fiefdom, and became a leisurely rich man who was completely invincible with the world.

In fact, it is not an exaggeration to receive any of the rewards based on his previous contributions, but Kloser knew that this was just an unrealistic fantasy after all.

His old rival with Zoe, who has been around for many years, seems to be drifting away, and he may be about to lose track of the other party.

Whenever he thought of this, Klozel couldn't help but feel sad and sighed that Zoe could be appreciated by such an outstanding monarch. Even if he was not famous during the Venice period, he would eventually shine when he met Taylor, the wise lord.

Of course, this is not just personal luck, or the gap between Taylor and Jones's mind, but also closely related to the political structure of the two countries.

The most important reason why he cannot be a prime minister is that there are too many "old men" in the Kuman court!

Unlike Leia, which has only three hundred years of founding history and eight hundred years of precipitation, it is like a giant tree entrenched on the earth with dense branches and leaves, and the rhizomes buried deep underground. It has long been unknown how far it has grown.

The reason why Jones can be called a shrewd monarch is that he can properly handle the interests of many ancient nobles, and use an invisible hand to restrict each other and always be in a delicate state of balance.

He will not let a family have too much power, affecting its own rule and domestic stability. At the same time, when a certain company declines, Thunder will take action and use reasonable and open means to bring the huge power and wealth back to China.

It is also because of this that the position of more than one person and more than ten thousand people has long been regarded as its own private place by several major families in the court. After hundreds of years, you usually sing and I will take the stage. This is also a hidden rule that Jones acquiesced.

As a new high-ranking court and without any background, Kloser, who has no strong background, has struggled to climb in the changing Kuman court with his cunning and shrewd mind and ruthless and decisive methods, and finally made a territory that could shake these big families.

Of course, the latter cannot divide their cakes to others. They already feel a complete threat. Once they continue to let it go, they are likely to threaten the forces they have operated for countless years.

Klozel knew that most of his achievements along the way were attributed to Jones' full support.

Because this emperor needed a steel knife to slap the families that were attached to Kuman like vampires, making them aware of the crisis and spit out benefits that they should not be greedy for.

Now he has done it.

But if we want to go further, if those big families don’t agree, even Jones himself will not agree.

A steel knife cannot be a double-edged sword that hurts oneself.

If the price of eradicating a large family is to support another powerful new family, there will be no value.

The same is true for title.

There are eight dukes in Kuman, five of whom have a history of more than 400 years, and only three are newly promoted powerful people in these four hundred years, and behind them are the strong support of major guilds in China.

With one more duke, Kuman would have to draw out an extra territory, and there would be an extra top noble with strong appeal in the country, which would inevitably have a stormy impact on the existing interest structure.

At the same time, it touched the cake between the royal family and the major nobles, so of course the resistance can be imagined.

Klozel also knew that this was a knot that could not be untied at the moment. Even if he had made great contributions, it was still impossible for those nobles and royal families to let go.

So we can only try to unlock other methods.

Because of personally participating in this war involving high-level figures, Klozel saw far more than others.

His Majesty the Emperor - or most of the upper classes who are qualified to know the truth of the war, believe that this God of War has greatly damaged his vitality. Since the mainland can defend it and have more and more powerful siege teams, they will definitely return triumphantly.

By then, the problem of Yi Ren will be completely solved, and the mainland will no longer be threatened by any external forces, and will immediately usher in a long period of rest and recuperation.

But is the truth of the truth?

Kloser felt that the old thing from the Porush family must have hidden something.

All those who have experienced it personally know the power of God’s messengers.

Not to mention the third god envoy Benuk, a monster that the three swordsmen of the Chen family in the Western Continent could not fight against, but ended up falling strangely.

How did he die?

The only few people who may be aware of the situation, the Three Swordsmen of the Chen family have returned to the Western Continent, and the sisters have also returned to the Mechanical Mystery City, leaving only Tantantuqi, who will make the truth public that they don’t know what they are.

Kloser did not believe that Merlin, who was resurrected by God, abandoned darkness and turned to light so frankly that he eventually died with Benuk.

All of them are dead without evidence. Even if the traces are in compliance with the rules and are reasonable, they can only represent part of the authenticity of the information.

There must be some crucial information, which is still in the hands of the old hand Zheng of Porush

And this information is likely to be related to the future pattern of the entire continent.

For example...has that magical artifact actually appeared?

Has it been obtained by anyone?

For this reason, Klozel had to make plans early. He originally arranged another manpower to negotiate reconstruction matters in Maran, but he forced him to replace it on the grounds that he "has been familiar with the envoys of the other two countries."

Unable to rely on being able to pry Porush's mouth open, Klosel could only turn his gaze back to Maran himself.

I also further had a deep relationship with Zhe, and it was also to accumulate capital for any possible changes in the future.

Kloser had a premonition that sooner or later there would be such a thing that he would become an important figure who would determine the future direction of Kuman.

Then...
Chapter completed!
