As soon as he had dealt with the most important papers, Charles left the rest of his official duties, then got up and left his office, and walked straight to the minister's office.

Although there were many clerks and secretaries outside the door, Charles didn't pay attention to them and knocked on the door.

"Your Excellency, I have something I want to talk to you about."

"Oh? Is it Charr? Come in! The minister's response was immediately heard in the room.

After receiving Yunke, Charles immediately opened the door directly, and then walked inside, closing the door softly again, cutting off the eyes of those outside that were mixed with curiosity and amazement.

As soon as Charles entered, the Count of Delier immediately rose and greeted him.

"Charles, you're finally here! I was going to see you when I heard you were coming, but I didn't bother to see that you were working......" He smiled and gestured to Charles.

"I'm just taking care of what is necessary, and I hope I didn't keep you waiting, Your Excellency." Charles replied very respectfully.

However, although his face was very calm, his heart was relieved. To be honest, he was vaguely worried just now, for fear that he would encounter the Earl's anger as soon as he entered, although he thought that this scene should be unlikely, but he still couldn't help but think so.

Now, judging from the expression and tone of His Excellency the Minister, he still seems to be unaware of Matilda's arbitrariness that night, but seems to be a little sorry and embarrassed for Charles, probably thinking that Charles finally decided to "focus on the overall situation" under Matilda's persuasion, and made the decision to sacrifice himself to save everyone. Therefore, even the smile seems to be a little kinder than usual.

Matilda, thank you.

Looking at the count's face, which was still elegant and handsome, Charles couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although he himself knew that this idea was absurd. But I can't help but think so.

Fortunately, this wonderful feeling did not last long, and was interrupted by the minister's words.

"Charles, thank you so much." The minister looked at Charles and smiled as if the courtier had been resurrected again, and it seemed that he was very happy for the rest of his life after this catastrophe, "I will remember the help you have always helped our family." ”

I slept with his daughter, and it turned out that he was here to thank me all the time!

A feeling of absurdity. For a moment, Charles was almost speechless. Even if the psychological element is extraordinary and always thick-skinned, this sense of absurdity is really speechless.

After a few moments, Charles finally came to his senses.

"Don't say that. I just did one thing I was supposed to do. As I said, I have always been a trusted friend to the Dilieon family, at all times. ”

"Right...... Friend......" The minister nodded with great emotion. "Charles. You've helped our family so much over the years, and I've always remembered it......"

Then he finally regained his composure and sat down again. "Charles, as Matilda said, even if you leave office, we will always help you carry out your plans, and it will make no difference. As long as I'm here for a day. No one will be able to influence your plans, don't worry. I'll still do that for you. ”

"Thank you so much!" Charles nodded with emotion, "Mr. President doesn't actually have an opinion on the two of us, he just wants to prevaricate the unfavorable public opinion of the outside world against us, and he is quite satisfied with our overall work, otherwise the treatment of me would not be a transfer rather than a direct dismissal." So, you don't have to worry about anything, just move on with our previous plan. ”

"As long as the president has no problem with us, that's easy!" The minister also sighed with relief, "Hey, this incident is really a headache for everyone......"

"Anyway, the turmoil has passed, and we can proceed calmly with the rest of the work."

"Let's hope so!" The Count nodded.

Then, he looked at Charles with a slightly apologetic gaze, "Charles, although you are leaving, your work achievements in the ministry during this period are obvious to all, and I think that after a short period of public opinion, people from the outside world will finally be able to understand." Since such an achievement has been made, we cannot directly erase it, and I recently plan to apply for a medal of honor for you, and I will give it to you in a while. ”

"Thank you in advance." Although Charles doesn't care about the medal or anything, since he can get it, it's better than not getting it.

"Albert and Clément, what are you going to do with it? Do you want to take it with you? ”

"No, let's keep them in the ministry, Albert is doing a good job now, and there's no need to replace them, Clement's words...... He's been with me for so long, and I should compensate him for it, and if you can, can you give him a place in the audit office? ”

"Yes, of course!" The minister hurriedly agreed, "Since you say so, then do it, as long as it is within my authority, I can help." Charles, I still say the same thing in the past, as long as we all help each other, we can get through any danger, right? ”

"Of course, Your Excellency." Charles smiled and nodded, and then he seemed to remember something, "But, since you said that, I still have something in mind that I want to talk to you about......"

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

"You know, right? Mr. President meant that I would be transferred to the War Department after that. "You know, I'm just a little impulsive, and if I don't like it, I just stay in my position, and I have to do something for myself, so ...... I want to do some reforms there as well. ”

"Reform?" As soon as he heard this word, Count Delion's face suddenly became solemn, "Charles...... It's not fun, can you listen to me? ”

"Well, of course, you say." Charles was a little baffled by the Count's sudden solemnity.

"Charles, it's good to be young, it's good to be energetic and ambitious, but don't be sharp everywhere. After all, it's not like here, and you can do it to your heart's content. This is a newly established department, there is nothing, there are no very complicated stakes, it is like a blank slate, you can play as you please, and you can play according to your own ideas here, but it is different there! It's a vital department, and it's been around for a long time, and it's full of intertwined factions, and it's full of vices and invisible! If you carry out any reforms, if you are not careful, you will be offended by someone who does not know, and the offended faction will not be so easy to deal with here, Charles, be careful, listen to my advice, after you get there, first keep a low profile, don't mess with people. At your age, as long as you stay up for a few more years and add a few more strokes to your resume, then who else will be able to oppose you at that time? Don't rush for a moment, Charles. ”

Charles listened to the minister's sincere advice, and suddenly felt that he was a little impressed by the minister.

He may be mediocre or a little blind, but after all, he is a person from the political family, and he is not a fool without vision, after all, he still has some foundation.

It can't be said that his construction is wrong, but Charles certainly wouldn't be unprepared for the situation.

"Thank you for your advice, Your Excellency, but don't worry, I'm not a stunned young man, I just arrived in an unfamiliar place and thought about setting fires, I want to carry out reforms in other aspects."

"Huh? What do you mean? The minister was a little puzzled.

"You also know that this railway of ours has not only economic significance, but also military significance, and it can even be said that it has an epoch-making power...... It allows the army to maneuver at speeds that were previously unimaginable. "That's why I've thought about aligning the planning and development of the railroad with the needs of the Army, so that Army troops and supplies can move around the country through the Guò rail network," said Charles, looking at the minister, "That's why I thought about aligning the planning and development of the railways with the needs of the Army, so that the Army's troops and supplies could move around the country through the Guò railway network, eh...... It just so happened that I was going to the War Office this time, so I thought that I could carry out some kind of necessary reform there so that the development of the railroad could be combined with the needs of the Army, and if necessary, I would directly organize several exercises for the movement of the army, and I hope that you will cooperate with me when the time comes. ”

After hearing Charles's words, the minister did not speak, but fell into deep thought. Although Charles spoke very lightly and politely, it was obvious that Charles was taking away his authority, and of course he was hesitant.

Does this young man want to use this as a greeting gift to cement his authority in his new position?

"That's what Mr. President sees too. You know, he's a bit of a ...... For some political ideals, a system that facilitates the rapid mobilization of troops throughout the country is quite important and indispensable. If we can help him do that, I think Mr. President will be very happy. ”

After he became emperor, in order to suppress possible rebellions everywhere, he needed a railway network that could quickly mobilize troops - of course, Charles could not say this directly, but he could hint at it to the minister, and the minister could fully understand it.

If it was Joseph Bonaparte, he would certainly not take Charles's words to heart and directly reject Charles's proposal, but the Count of Delier would not. This was not only because of his guilt and compensation for Charles, but also because the man who had been a courtier still had the mentality of a courtier—he really wanted to curry favor with his new master, Louis Bonaparte, and he did not hesitate to give a little of his authority for the time being.

"Well, if you insist, I'm not going to object, and good luck getting there, Charles." After a moment's thought, the Count agreed as Charles had hoped. (To be continued......)
