"This is Kubal, you've seen it. m”

Before the wedding began, Doolin met with Kubar, the leader of the party and the first man of the empire who was now in the cabinet office.

Kubal looked taller than Maggs, on the thin side, and felt very energetic, a very enthusiastic person, at least from Dürin's current point of view.

However, he also knew very well that the reason why he felt this way was because it was Maggs standing next to him, if it was someone else...... , maybe he simply can't be here.

Magus is the gateway to the top political circles of the Empire, which is why Durin chose the Timamont family, even the royal family is not as good as the Timamont family.

Kubal was very kind and kind to Doolin, like an elder in the family, and he even showed respect for Doolin in some small gestures, he did not pat Doolin on the shoulder the whole time, only slapped his arm twice.

This is a very well-bred nobleman, and his strength can be felt from his elegant and humorous conversation, which makes Durin very wonderful to see his own shadow in Mr. Kubal, they are all so confident!

After introducing Kubal, Magus and Kubal went far away, leaving Dohrin here to receive the guests, of course, in order to make sure that Doolin would not be rude for not knowing the guests, Mags's sister also stayed here, that is, Ophelia's mother, Lady Leticia.

"Men always have endless energy and endless topics to talk about. Lady Laeticia was also very pleasant, she looked a little younger than Magis, about fifty years old, and was very well maintained.

After retracting her gaze from the two men, Lady Leticia whispered to Durin that Maggs and Kubal were good friends who had known each other since childhood, and that they had hardly talked about anything, except for a few years in the intervening years when they had reduced their relationship over Vinica, who was now Mags' wife.

Each estate has its own secrets, and it is impossible to know these secrets if you just step into a new class but do not integrate into it.

Who would have thought that Maggs and Kubal were a pair of best friends, who led the only two major political parties in the empire to fight to the death, but they were indeed close friends themselves.

Durin was looking at Maggs and Kubal, the two old men glanced at Durin a few times, Mags finally had a smile on his face at this time, and he didn't need to hide his inner fluctuations in front of Kubal.

After knowing each other for decades, there are some things that cannot be hidden.

"You're ......very proud," Kubal said with a slight mockery of Maggs, "I can see that you are very proud and showing off now." ”

Maggs chuckled, "You have to be considerate of me, an old man who has lost power, to regain a little mental balance in other ways. Without waiting for Kubal to continue laughing at him, he asked another question, "How's that, is that chair comfortable?"

Kubal nodded happily, "That's great, after all, I ordered it on purpose, do you know what those people offered? Five thousand dollars, just a chair, but I have to say it's worth the money, at least it makes me sit there comfortably every day." ”

Maggs immediately realized what was going on, and asked, "Damn, you're not going to throw away my chair, are you?" I've been working on that chair for more than twenty years, and you can give it back if you don't want anything from me!"

"Of course, of course, rest assured, my friend, I have had the chairs delivered to your estate, including all the things in your office. ”

On his first day in office, Kubal had everything in his office packed up and sent to Mags's estate outside the imperial capital, which had nothing to do with friendship, and there was always something new about the new ruling party leader coming to power to preside over the politics of the empire. Whether he minds it or not, it's a must-do move.

He didn't do it for himself, but for his men.

Even if someone can go so far one day, he will not necessarily be able to act freely according to his own heart, and he will need to take into account the opinions of others, even if he is an imperial prime minister.

Kubal lit a cigarette and picked his chin, "You're happy with him, I can see it, so will he survive the next eight years?"

Maggs smiled slightly, "I'm sure he'll not only survive eight years, but sixteen years won't be a problem." There are people who are strong on the outside, you just have to find his valve and he is finished. ”

"There are some people you can't understand him, he is as strong on the inside as he is on the outside, nothing can defeat him, it only makes him more cunning. He exhaled with feeling, "This is the young man I chose." ”

"I want to pick a successor, those little bastards in my family are not the material to go this way at all, don't be complacent, maybe I can beat you this time!", Kubal, who has been at a disadvantage all his life, hated the "I won again" expression on Maggs's face the most, and couldn't help but fight back.

Maggs shook his head indifferently, feeling a little childlike, "That's your freedom, but I don't think it's likely." ”

Kubal laughed and scolded, he couldn't win Maggs once in his life, whether it was career, love or family business, he always lost to Mags. At first, he was very embarrassed, angry, and even wanted to break up with Magus.

But looking at the whole empire, the whole world, there is no one person who can be Mags's opponent, and this gap disappears, and he balances it.

You can't fight a target that you can't defeat, just like you can't be a jerk with someone who is more jerks than you, you don't have a ceiling as others, and you can't be like some people don't have a lower limit, so be yourself.

The two of them laughed and laughed for a while, and then Kubal asked in a low voice, "When are you going to tell him about that?" or are you not going to let him know about it?"

When it came to business, Mags's expression became serious, and he lowered his head slightly and hesitated for a moment before sighing and saying, "Wait...... Now is not the time. That's a bastard, don't you know? It's best not to let him know something he shouldn't know just now without the prerequisites to be able to restrain his behavior, that will only get the whole thing out of hand. ”

Kubal asked, a little painfully, "So you're going to hide it from him forever?"

Maggs sighed again, "I just hate that I'm too old, and if I were twenty years younger, I would be fearless...... If it comes time to let him know, I'll let him know, and as for the outcome, it has nothing to do with me anyway. ”

In the distance, Duhrin didn't know that just a moment ago he thought he had stepped into the top political ecosystem of the empire, but in fact, there was a higher class above him.

There weren't many people coming to this wedding, but every one of them was a big shot, and one of them was not very conspicuous, the director of the Imperial Capital Social Services Bureau, Klein.

Under the operation of the two of them, Durin got the land worth more than 1.4 million yuan on the market at a price of 1.2 million, and it can be seen that Klein wants to send back the money he took from Durin in this way, and give some more benefits to make up for the rift between the two.

Now that the new cabinet has been elected, there will be a major reshuffle in the officialdom of the entire empire in the next three months, and this reshuffle does not include the purge of local councillors, mayors, and governors, but only the reshuffle of cadres of grassroots organizations in society.

For example, Director Klein is within the scope of this reshuffle, and the Imperial Capital Social Service Bureau does not seem to be a very important department, but in fact, this department has more influence on the Imperial Capital than all other bureaus, which is a very important department.

After the mayor of St. Nurin Ventiels came to power, he would definitely make all arrangements for this position, and whether Klein had his own ideas or not, he was on the list to be dumped.

As long as the new mayor is given a little reason to punish him, he will roll up the bed, such as stepping into the office door with his left foot first.

In order to avoid being kicked away, and then temporarily return to the new party to take up an unimportant party post, it is better to show favor to the new mayor, and there may not be no possibility of staying.

He did not betray the new party and turn to the old party, but in order to continue the new party's grasp of power at all levels, he endured humiliation and burdens and went against his own free will to do things for the old party.

Durin's wedding was an opportunity for him.

There were too many big people at the wedding, and as long as he could get a line or two, he would be able to keep his current position, and even if he took some responsibility for this, such as selling the land in the welfare home to Duhrin for a very low price, it was acceptable.

If you can keep your current position, what's wrong with making a mistake?

What's wrong?

Skip Klein, the others are the real bigwigs, including the Archbishop from Sunset City.

At present, the real name of the church in people's mouths is actually called the Church of Light, or the Holy Church of Light, but there have always been many sects in the Church of Light, just like there are many parties under the empire as a whole.

Whichever denomination has the upper hand in the internal struggle of faith, the Church will use the doctrine of the faith of that denomination in its external propaganda.

For example, the blood sect that once had a history of "slaughtering gods" in the church records was called the Blood God Cult back then, and it was a terrible sect that could devour the blood of other species and seize the ability of species, but unfortunately it lost to other sects during the low tide period and became a thing of the past.

Now the strongest sect in the church is the sect that believes in the Lord of Tensho, so it is also called the Tensho Church, or the Church of the Lord of Tensho.

In the hierarchy of the Church, the archbishop has the status of less than the cardinal, but in the tradition of the Church, the archbishop is equivalent in nature to the prince and prince, and is the future pope.

Therefore, the Church sent the archbishop to the Durin wedding this time, which shows that the church attaches great importance to this wedding.
