Chapter 101: In the Shadows (2)
King Anastarian took the information and smiled meaningfully at first glance: "I didn't expect them to start doing it so quickly." ”
Welleis smiled bitterly: "My subordinates didn't expect the executive directors to do it in secret so soon, but judging from Councilpiece Cabolon's actions, it seems that he was prepared." ”
"Well, he's a very smart elf, and the new resolution is expected to catch the directors off guard." His Majesty the King gave his own judgment that Anastarian, who had been on the throne for almost 30 centuries and was now about to be 3,800 years old, was well aware of the methods of Parliament.
He discovered at a glance that Patrick's new policy was to prevent and eliminate the infiltration of other forces, and the old king had to sigh, and he himself underestimated Patrick's political understanding and consciousness.
Of course, he also hopes that the parliament will fight, as long as the country is not shaken, the more fierce the fight, the better, after all, the parliament fights, he, the king, can balance all parts of the forces, and the forces loyal to him in the kingdom will become more and more reliable.
"According to the intelligence, the elves who secretly wooed the management of the Sun Temple are subordinates of the Sunwing family and the Morrowind family, and they want to infiltrate the upper echelons of the Sun Temple step by step, so that they will completely fall to their own family when they vote on the resolution."
As the head of the intelligence organization, Verles is very conscientious, and the entire Quel'Salas is full of intelligence officers with the Fire-colored 0 Demon Seal, and even more so in each family, all of them have intelligence organization personnel who work for the royal family.
"Patrick has also seen through the undercurrent of the Sun Temple, and his hand is to completely eliminate the external infiltration and firmly control the entire Sun Temple in his own hands." Anastarian gave Patrick a high rating. "Politically, he didn't look like a young elf at all, he was sophisticated and sharp, and he saw things very thoroughly."
“…………”
"Naturally, the councillors will worry about the affairs of the councillors, and we will just watch from the sidelines."
Vellais retired, and the king stood alone on the windowsill looking in the direction of the Tower of the Sunrage, silently contemplating.
--------------------------------
The Tower of the Sunfury, the Silver Moon Council, and the five leaders of the council sat together again.
"Colleagues, I believe that during this period of time, you have not been idle in your hands, and you should also know the new resolution of the Sun Temple, what do you want to say?" The Seninol-Japan wing director, led by the director, first led the topic.
"Do we need to join forces to deal with that little guy and slowly control the local livelihood and material supply of the Sun Temple, that is, he can't make any more waves." Jainrini - the director in charge of taxes on the Dawn Star, angrily threw out a magic scroll, the other directors knew that it was a new decision about Patrick, each master had his own intelligence organization in his hands, and it was not a big deal to know a little news.
"Master Bridges, are you sure that the personal information you gave is correct?" Greenville - Master Morningwalker began to question the other councillor in charge of the court.
Bridges Morrowind: "...... What are you??? ”
"According to your information, Patrick Cabolon has been working in the family's mage tower, and has not performed anything extraordinary, only leaving Silvermoon City twice, the first time was when he was assigned by the family to go to the Tower of Darth Visser to escort military supplies, and the second time was when he left Silvermoon City and passed by the Eastern Temple and was hired by Aurelia as a military advisor." Greenville-The Morning Stalker turned on Briggis for a moment.
"Didn't Your Excellency think he's just a fledgling elf? I don't think he has any experience as an executive director, but judging from the new information, do you really think he doesn't have experience as an executive director? ”
"Then you mean that you think I have deceived everyone?" Bridges Morrowind's face was obviously uneasy, and he threw out a court record of Patrick, the Silvermoon Court has a file for every elven citizen, and each elf's various pasts and family backgrounds are recorded: "Is there something about the Cabolon family that only Morrowind knows?" The intelligence organizations in your hands are all eating dry food and waiting to die? ”
Greenville didn't continue to speak, of course he knew the details of the Cabolon family, he just wanted to find someone to blame. It is also normal for the parliamentary faction to be at odds with each other, and some council members don't actually take Patrick seriously at all, and their focus is still on their colleagues at the conference table.
The five of them are all old rivals who have been entrenched in the council for many years, and in addition to showing consistent words and deeds to the outside world, they have a clear definition of their family's biggest competitors in their hearts, and the opponents are no longer outside, they are their four colleagues.
Although it is a voting system, in which the minority obeys the majority, this kind of system often degenerates and turns into violence against the minority. In other matters, the five people maintain a fairly high degree of consistency, but in fact, the collusion within the vote is the same, and it has no practical significance.
Politics has competition, and pluralism can not be dark? No. In this way, it is easier to generate familial and gangster groups, and solidify the barriers of social class. Of course, one thing cannot be denied, the voting system does have an advantage, that is, it allows those elites to be elected at a very young age, but don't forget, participating in the election requires a lot of social activities, and the media is overwhelmingly promoted, do ordinary elves have that money? In the end, it was not the big family, and the gangster-like group had a monopoly.
Silvermoon City has been playing this set for so long, with a history of more than 6,000 years, don't those big nobles and directors understand these truths? Of course they understand, because they want to secure their position forever, so they have to pretend not to understand. In Patrick's previous life, there were also two people who believed this, one was called ***** and the other was Yeltsin, and the result? Self-explanatory.
"As far as I know, it seems that the decision-making council of the Sun Temple does not have the step of voting, and all their decisions and bills are all made by the heads of departments under Councilor Patrick, giving detailed information on various government affairs, finances, laws, military affairs, etc., and then collectively evaluating and deliberating, and finally gradually piloting, and then implementing. It has to be said that Councillor Patrick is a shrewd and steady elf. ”
The Master of the Dawnblade, who had been silent, spoke his opinion, and the other four councillors were visibly displeased, as if the four of them were useless. But as the eldest of the Silver Moon Council, the other four were not easy to attack. After all, Master Oakes has been in the council for many years, and he is a shrewd old fox who can't be more shrewd, and his character is scheming, round but not smooth.
The information in Jay's Riini-Dawn Star's hand was instantly covered by arcane flames, obviously a little angry, the infiltration of several of them in the Sun Temple was all guarded by Patrick, and the donation he prepared was also eaten by Patrick, and a large amount of gold coins were spent, but he didn't get back the political reward, how could he not be angry.
