Disheartened, Joshua left the center of Shangjiang's power and returned to Chongming City to become his own free city lord. After Abigail failed to take the throne with the child in his womb, Shangjiang City seemed to have the only last choice.

Joyce.

Neither in terms of prestige nor status, there was no one to compete with Joyce.

Da Liang is Joyce's hardcore henchman, and the Elf family is already leaderless, and it is natural to support Joyce's ascension.

After Joshua left, several city lords were thinking about how to befriend the soon-to-be-ruling female prime minister.

Da Liang looked at the ministers who were waiting for his nomination and said, "Regarding the imperial prime minister, I have a candidate, and that is the honorable ...... Marquis Stanley. ”

This...... Marquis Stanley.

Everyone's mouths grew in surprise, including the Marquis of Stanley himself: "Brother Da Liang, although your wisdom impresses me very much, let me be the former prime minister...... I don't have time to collect money in Jiading City. ”

Let the Marquis of Stanley be the Prime Minister? Not to mention his head with only gold coins, just the taste of clothes, and going to meet foreign envoys, didn't he lose the face of the entire Shangjiang nobles?

Everyone in the room, including Joyce, was very confused by Da Liang's proposal, and at the same time waited for his explanation.

After everyone came to their senses in shock, Da Liang said: "I think the former prime minister should be a respectable person first and foremost. The Marquis of Stanley, who has lived more years than all of us combined, and whose wisdom lies beneath his approachable exterior. Only after in-depth contact with him can we discover that his insights into the world have long gone beyond our ordinary level.

But it is precisely because he sees the world more thoroughly than all of us that the Marquis is indifferent to fame and fortune.

And when there is a crisis in Shangjiang, he can always play a key role with his wisdom.

When Duke Joshua attacked Shangjiang City, everyone thought that the Terrans would lose, and all the city lords either participated in the rebellion or waited and watched, only Marquis Stanley firmly stood by the side of Shangjiang City from the beginning. Marquis Stanley proved to be far more knowledgeable than any of us, and the Terrans were victorious, and Marquis Stanley became our most trusted partner in Shangjiang City.

The Marquis of Stanley's talent for business is equally breathtaking. Looking at the current city of Jiading, in just a few months, the Marquis of Stanley has created a miracle. My lords, who of you dare to say that he is richer than the Marquis of Stanley? If Shangjiang City wants to regain its glory, it needs the economic acumen of Marquis Stanley.

And when the Jealous Demon King controlled King William to slaughter the Shangjiang nobles, who led the army of the undead to rush into Shangjiang City, quickly stabilized the situation in the city, and forced away the Jealous Demon King Angela?

It's Marquis Stanley.

What makes me even more impressed is that the Marquis can completely take advantage of the situation to let the army of the undead occupy Shangjiang City and then establish himself as the king. But when it was all over, he handed over the city to the Terrans intact.

I was deeply moved by this feeling, this kindness, and this wisdom that only time can deposit.

So when we need a new leader to step up and lead us through this, the first thing that comes to my mind is the Marquis of Stanley.

His vision, his vision, his determination, and his ocean-like mind are all we need.

I strongly propose that Lord Marquess Stanley be Prime Minister. ”

Stanley looked at Da Liang praising himself so excitedly, and his eyes had begun to glow: It turns out that I am so good...... However, I have so many advantages that only Brother Da Liang can see, he is really a confidant given to me by death!

Da Liang's speech also deeply touched all the magnates.

Only then did everyone realize that as Da Liang said, the Marquis of Stanley, who was usually a little crazy, turned out to be a real hidden sage.

Joshua rebelled, and among the seven vice-cities, except for the demon Qingpu City, which was not played by elves, all five cities supported Joshua, and only the Marquis of Stanley's Jiading City declared its allegiance to the King of the East China Sea from the beginning. Outcome...... Joshua was truly defeated.

Now the prosperity of Jiading City is obvious to all. Not only the entire Shangjiang area, but also Nantong, Suzhou, Jiaxing, Wuxi, and the surrounding cities are full of freight carriages of the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce. The convoy from Shangjiang Port to Jiading City was connected into a line, and the entire Jiading City was full of mountains of goods, all of which made everyone red. The Marquis of Stanley is really, really rich now.

There is also the chaos of pacifying Shangjiang City, which is simply a thunderous blow, and the political situation in Shangjiang is instantly calmed down after the undead enter the city.

All these astonishing methods are hidden under the cynical façade of the Marquis of Stanley......

At this moment, everyone sighed to themselves.

"Yes, we were blinded by arrogance before. The Marquis of Stanley had always hidden his remarkable abilities in times of peace, and when the crisis came, he did things that none of us could, and all of them were right. Ironically, we are still stupid enough to look at the Marquis with vulgar eyes, and we do not see the wisdom he shows at all.

We should not continue to make mistakes.

The Marquis of Stanley has asked you to be the Prime Minister, to take on duties worthy of your wisdom. ”

"I agree with the Marquis of Stanley as the Prime Minister, and only the Marquis of Stanley can lead us out of our predicament in times like these."

"I agree ......"

"Agree ......"

The city lords and ministers expressed their positions one after another.

Joyce was one of the few people in this room who knew the truth. Marquis Stanley's allegiance to Shangjiang City was won by Da Liang; The Shuntong Chamber of Commerce was conceived by Da Liang and established through arduous negotiations; The chaos in Shangjiang was caused by Da Liang's contact with each other and caused the situation of attacking the city on three sides, and the undead of Marquis Stanley were personally invited by Da Liang.

The Marquis of Stanley had nothing to do with those noble virtues and wisdom, and his inner and physical manifestations were very synchronous, and he had an undisguised love for gold coins.

But why did Da Liang propose the Marquis of Stanley as the former Prime Minister?

Just preventing Hell from supporting Abigail's ascension to the throne has revealed that every word of Da Liang has a deep meaning. Joyce, who had no ambition for power, concluded: "I also think that the Marquis of Stanley is the best candidate for the Prime Minister." Since we all thought that the Marquis of Stanley could lead us, it was the Marquis of Stanley who succeeded us as the Prime Minister.

Lord Marquis Stanley, I ask you to sit in the position of Prime Minister and formally exercise your rights and duties. I and all the nobles of Shangjiang will support you in every decision.

I am confident that under your leadership, we will get through all the difficulties and go to glory. ”

Marquis Stanley stood up, his expression unrecognizable on his shriveled face. He walked in the same place where Joshua and Abigail had sit, and sat down slowly.

Everyone in the conference room waited for him to issue his first decree after becoming the Imperial Prime Minister.

"Now I declare......

Meeting! ”
