Chapter 312: Many Birds with One Stone
The ministers looked at Macaulay and Abigail and decided that this was indeed not the time to discuss political affairs.
So everyone left the table, and after a while they were gone, leaving only Macaulay and Abigail sitting there with ugly faces.
Inside the Pudong Military Port Governor's Palace.
Marquis Stanley followed behind Da Liang and asked anxiously, "Brother Da Liang, my good brother." Why do you want me to be the former Prime Minister? It's okay for me to take care of skeletons and walking corpses, which are brainless and undead. I don't have experience in managing creatures that need to eat......"
Joyce took Da Liang and Marquis Stanley to his office, asked all the entourage to leave, and then asked Da Liang with the same doubts: "Indeed, I am also very confused. I think that according to the current situation in Shangjiang, we need someone who can be really capable to lead everyone to deal with threats from all sides. ”
Marquis Stanley chimed in: "Yes......"
Da Liang said: "I proposed that the Marquis of Stanley be the Imperial Prime Minister, because only the Marquis now sits in that position, which is the most beneficial to the situation. ”
Both Joyce and the Marquis of Stanley were aroused by curiosity.
Da Liang took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, poured a glass for Joyce and himself, and then said: "Is it too presumptuous for the two unaware Duke Joshua to suddenly resign as the former prime minister?" Isn't this a gesture to make way for Abigail?
Leaving aside the contradiction between the elves and the dark elves, it is impossible for Joshua himself to easily hand over the power to Abigail. I could see that Abigail was colluding with Macaulay, and Duke Joshua must have seen some clues.
His resignation as former prime minister was to retreat as an advance.
He went from inside to outside, watching what we did with Abigail's post-seal.
If we can't stop Abigail from sealing and Abigail lets the army of hell enter Shangjiang City, we will all be sinners in this city, and everyone in Shangjiang will fall to Joshua at that time. And if we can stop Abigail from being crowned, then someone must take up the important post of prime minister.
Everyone agreed that Lord Joyce was the most qualified to be Prime Minister, and that the post of Lord of the Navy would probably fall into Joshua's hands. ”
Hearing Da Liang's analysis, Joyce figured out why Joshua resigned as prime minister, which is commonly known as a sandpiper and a clam competing for profit.
After Abigail was sealed, the army of Hell entered the city, and Joyce's family was ruined, and Joshua was elected by all the nobles of Shangjiang to fight against Abigail.
Joyce became Prime Minister, and the post of Secretary of the Navy became vacant. In order to gain the support of Joshua's family and deal with Abigail and Hell, Joyce had to trade the position of Admiralty. At that time, all the maritime affairs of Shangjiang were controlled by Joshua, and the sea resources were enough for his Chongming City to come back to life and make a comeback.
As a result, Joshua's good calculations were all frustrated by the Marquis of Stanley's role as the former Prime Minister.
Joyce nodded and said, "You're right, it's really the best way to do it. But the Marquis of Stanley served as the Imperial Prime Minister...... Is it really okay? ”
Marquis Stanley looked at Da Liang: "Is this really okay?" ”
Da Liang said with a smile: "Abigail lives in the palace, and he must not be willing to manage a palace. She's sure she'll find other ways to take power, but we've had enough to do, and we don't have the energy to fight with her everywhere. However, Bartlett was in charge of the army, Lord Joyce was in charge of the navy, and Marquis Wilson was in charge of finances. Abigail can't get around the former prime minister if she wants to meddle anywhere, so let's ask her to go to Marquis Stanley if there is anything. And Marquis Stanley, when you go back to your Jiading City, you will stay in your castle and collect money, and you don't have to worry about anything else. ”
Hearing that he could go back to Jiading City, Marquis Stanley smiled and said, "This is really no problem. ”
However, Joyce said worriedly: "The former prime minister is not in Shangjiang City, how should political affairs be handled." ”
"Usually everyone is in charge of their own affairs, and when they encounter important things, the people below know where to go?"
Although Da Liang didn't say it explicitly, Joyce already understood.
The Marquis of Stanley served as the Prime Minister in order to deal with Joshua and Abigail, but it was he who actually exercised the duties of the Prime Minister.
Joyce drank the wine from his glass: "What a magical day. ”
Joshua did not succeed in becoming king, Abigail did not succeed in sealing the queen, hell did not succeed in entering the city, and the new king was still in the womb. If Howard returns, it will be a matter for their father and son or father and daughter who will be king; If Howard doesn't return, the throne will still be in the hands of royal legitimacy.
The obscurity in her heart swept away, and Joyce was in a good mood.
It's time to hand out rewards.
A few experiences and gold coins are the icing on the cake for Daliang's current level of 35 and a net worth of over 100 million, not enough to upgrade one level and not enough to add a zero.

Hahahaha, Da Liang laughed in his heart, his own people are in power, this reward is finally not tattered, powerful!.
Battleship, give!
The land requisition order for the Terran territory is given!
Archangels, angels, supporting give!
Opened the mansion alone, and Brother is now the Admiral of a system fleet.
Joyce's first decree after taking power was to train his brother with all his might, and it finally paid off for his brother to hug Joyce's thigh from the beginning.
Da Liang said happily: "Thank you for your cultivation, in the future, you will be dutiful and do your best, and your loyalty to your lord is like the noon sun......"
Joyce was in a good mood, and waited for Da Liang to finish his ass before he said: "Cloud City, Fallen Angels, and Hell Lord Kings are competing in Shangjiang City, and they are at the center of this dimensional struggle, and I should actively prepare for a war that may break out at any time." We need more angels, we need to train more heroes. This requires a lot of resources and money.
On land, the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce is on the right track. At sea, we defeated the Jeju Fleet and showed the world our strong maritime power, and we can rely on the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce to form our merchant fleet.
Shuntong Maritime Escort Fleet, with Shuntong Chamber of Commerce to provide funds, Pudong Fleet to provide personnel formation, the Admiral has you to serve.
The land acquisition order for your territory is to allow you to quickly establish a Terran city, I have had enough of the half-heartedness of other vice cities, and we must complete the real unification of Shangjiang before the plane erupts. ”
