Chapter 363: Prime Minister of Wisdom
In the southeastern part of the royal capital, there is the residence of Prime Minister Frank, which has not been allowed to be approached by civilians since Julius Caesar gave him the title of Prime Minister.
Frank was sitting at his table dealing with national affairs, surrounded by greenery and no antiques, which made the place look very elegant and vibrant.
Since Julius Caesar was seriously ill, he had been dealing with state affairs and was under a lot of pressure. So he ordered people to move the greenery, and to look at it every day to relieve stress.
In fact, after doing so, this has to make others doubt his motives, and some people even directly say that Prime Minister Frank wants to take charge of the government, so as to gather power in his hands.
"This king of the northern realm suddenly proposed a marriage? Why are they embarrassed to have unreliable opinions, do they really deceive no one in our country? Hmph. Frank sneered and annotated his rejection.
Before, he could just call the shots. And now, thanks to Julius Caesar's recovery, he has now resumed his functions, and can only express his opinion on these documents, and the final decision is still up to Julius Caesar.
Suddenly his butler knocked on the door and whispered in his ear.
"Master Frank, Gakin asked to see him, and his expression seemed to be very anxious. ”
Gagin, the most loyal person Frank has cultivated, was also promoted by him to the prefect of the city, Gagin often patrols the city gates, and helps Frank get a lot of valuable information. He stopped his pen, put down the document he was reviewing with his left hand, thought for a moment, and sighed.
"Hey, let him in. But I already had a rough idea of what he was here for. Frank said, his eyes clouding a little.
A man ran in quickly, half-kneeling in front of Frank, and from his sweating profusely he could tell that he must have rushed all the way over. But no matter how anxious and hurried he was, he still had to do the etiquette sufficiently......
"Lord Frank, Gui'an. Gai Jin said respectfully.
"Well, get up, is something big happening? You look panicked. Frank said unhurriedly, looking calm.
"Lord Frank, it's a big deal, Lord Tuode, he's ......," Gai Jin hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Lord Tuode replaced all the soldiers guarding the city, and almost all of them were appointed and dismissed by him. ”
"Oh, yes, that's nothing. Frank looked indifferent, as if he didn't take it to heart at all.
Gai Jin's expression was very surprised, didn't Lord Frank know the consequences of the Prime Minister's doing?
"Mistress Frank, don't you know that Mistress Tod ......?"
As a result, before Gay Jin could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Frank with a smile.
"Gagin, do you think I know, what can I do now? You should know that he is now nominally higher than me. Rights are like this, layer by layer, and the position of rights cannot be crossed, just like the law. Frank said, picking up the quilt and taking a sip of milk tea.
"But ......" Gai Jin was not reconciled, and finally wanted to probe the wind, so he asked tentatively, "Lord Tuode has risen to a high position, and the Lord is sitting in his own house like this, doing nothing?"
Frank laughed, shook his head, and said, "Attention, Lord Tuode is the prime minister now, of course I can only respect his opinion. And Gaijin, I've been cultivating you for a few years, but you always have a shortcoming, so I can't cultivate you with confidence. So you're just a city commander now. ”
"Lord Frank, I ......" Gai Jin didn't know what he had done wrong, so he had to bow his head, "I just need to work for Lord Frank, and I don't have anything else to ask." ”
"Hey, let me give you a reason, first of all, you are too impatient, you can't be in a hurry to do anything, the great gods once said that it is easy to succeed in doing something, it is rare to keep a peaceful mind all the time. If you are only one step away from success, impatience will be the most dangerous thing on your way to success. Frank said this, and stopped, he was watching with his head down.
Gai Jin thought about it for a long time, time kept passing, and the butler standing on the side couldn't hold it because he was old. So Frank had already waved for the butler to go first. The housekeeper also felt that the next time was to educate the young people, so he left.
And just as the butler had gone, after the butler had closed the door, Gagin jerked his head up and met Frank's eyes.
"The people in the way are finally gone, hehe. Gakin sneered and looked at the door.
"Outsiders only see your impatient character, but they can't see your delicacy and wisdom. Gaijin, you deserve to be my student. Frank said with satisfaction.
"But isn't it Lord Frank's sorrow that his butler has been bribed?" said Gaikin, smiling calmly.
"Smart people will always see through other people's strategies, but if you don't talk about them, it will naturally be useful when the time comes. Frank said and stood up and walked over to Gagin.
Gagin stood up, and Frank whispered, "You didn't let me down, did you?"
"Don't worry, teacher, I'm still the prefect of the city, and the person who thinks he's smart thinks he's smart, I've seen through it a long time ago. He also appreciates me. Gagin said proudly that he was the first soldier to stand up at the city gate in the afternoon.
"But who's to say that Tuode is not smart, not only did he justifiably kick out our men, but he also used this test to show all the people of the continent that he did it for the safety of the royal family. Hehe, that's amazing. Frank said with a smile, his eyes narrowed.
"Lord Frank, Tuode has always been considered by the mainlanders to be a brave and resourceful warrior. Could it be that someone behind him had an idea, or was it Julius Caesar's idea?"
"It's hard to say, of course, how can we guess the emperor's mind?" Frank snapped.
Gai Jin hurriedly bowed his head, this was indeed not something he could guess in vain, but he never understood, could it be that Julius Caesar had allowed Tud to have all his power in one place?
"No matter what, we have to do what we have to do, even if the rain is coming. And Gaikin, you are one of my most important chess pieces, buried for so many years, it's time to play your part. Frank said, sneering.
