"I'm going on a long trip, the dragon knight has sent a plague, and I'm going to support with a team of military doctors."

"Jian Ning, have you thought about it, if you go, you may never come back."

"Dear, I must go, the lives of tens of thousands of Valsta compatriots are waiting for me to save."

That one,

He watched his wife walk to the door, smiled faintly at him, pushed the door open, and stepped into the light,

The memory of that moment continued to torment him,

He wanted to catch up and stop her, but he couldn't feel his legs,

I could only watch her carriage drift away through the window, and nothing could be done.

The heart-wrenching feeling of powerlessness is devastating.

"Jianning!" He shouted.

Spinning around, everything in front of me faded and vanished, and then collapsed.

Then, he heard a rush of breathing, which he quickly confirmed was his own.

The pale cyan eyes opened suddenly, staring directly at the carvings on the flower board.

The window is open, a oriole bird lands on a flower pot and sings, and the mechanism of the clock makes a crisp "click" sound.

Muddy, trance,

The bottle and glass at his head reminded him of the cause of his headaches:

Struggling to get up, the old wound under his left flank ached faintly, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

After so many years, the pain is still there, and this wound seems to remind him that he has already died once.

It took a few seconds for Dali Einfoot to come to his senses.

Realize that you have just woken up from a nightmare.

Since the only child moved out to live after marriage, this big house seems empty, and Dalí has become accustomed to this lonely and boring life.

Because his longing for his deceased wife intensified, he also used wine to kill his sorrows like the emperor.

Trying to sober yourself up:

"It's okay, it's just a dream."

The housekeeper outside the door breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, then I'll rest assured, master, do you want to get up or continue to rest?" ”

"Up, I'm going to work."

Dali picked up the portrait of his deceased wife and, as he had done every morning, kissed her on the forehead:

"Master, the water is boiling."

"Well, thank you, Constan,

Today's schedule is also full, so I'm going to bathe and change clothes,

Tell the cook to have bacon and pancakes for breakfast, and a cup of chocolate coffee. ”

After showering and changing, Dali sat on the terrace and enjoyed breakfast.

The butler, Konstan Glaar, wore monocles and held a thick stack of newspapers in his hand, picking up some important news and reading them to the master:

"The front-page article of Critics Weekly: The emperor has disappeared for a long time, is she still alive? Is the prime minister's full stay in power a coup d'état?

Sir, it's too much! This is a slander and insult to you, and these bad media must be severely punished! ”

Dali didn't get angry when he heard this, took a bite of the pancake and chewed it, and then swallowed the chocolate coffee:

"The editor of this newspaper doesn't want to be eyeball-eyed, this is a serious misleading to the masses, I will send someone to investigate them and rectify them within a time limit."

"Do you need me to continue reading the newspaper?"

"Don't read it, by the way, is there any news from William?"

"Young Master, he knows that you are busy with government affairs, and he is afraid of disturbing you, so he hasn't come over recently."

Aunt Susan, the fat cook next to her, interjected: "My son saw the young master at the gate of the Imperial Theater yesterday. ”

Dalí put down the pancakes and coffee: "Oh? What did William do at the theater? And with whom? ”

"Of course it's with his wife, this couple is really a beautiful couple, so beautiful, they attract the cheers of the crowd wherever they go."

"Hmph, even if this son has a heart, if he dares to snub the princess, I will teach him a good lesson!"

After breakfast, the busy day officially begins,

In the morning, Dalí rode in a carriage to the Imperial Capital Trading Hall to attend a charity auction, with proceeds going to the families of the victims and war orphans.

Since the prime minister took over almost all the affairs of the state, everyone was extremely flattering,

Dalí could see at a glance that some nobles and businessmen participated in this event purely to please themselves, hoping to make some benefits through their connections later, rather than genuinely charity.

Of course, he was not stupid enough to break the matter, and hypocritical money is also money, and it is the same for those who are in desperate need of help.

Lunchtime was also uneasy, and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon after receiving a few diplomats, so afternoon tea and lunch were combined, and you had to review documents while eating, so you could feel how busy the emperor's usual work was.

At 3 o'clock, Dalí departed for the Imperial Diet.

The horse-drawn carriage was far away from the parliament building, and the flags and propaganda slogans of the various parties could be seen.

Although Prince Maxim is dead, his Liberal Party is still alive and growing, with many seats.

In addition, some new political parties, which are also dominated by young reformers, have formed a force in parliament, generally known as radicals.

These Rao had a clear political stance, advocated reform and elimination of the old in internal affairs, and hoped to limit the land wealth of the old aristocracy and decentralize power.

They like to talk about human rights, advocate for the abolition of the death penalty, oppose all acts of war, and propose tax cuts, subsidies and holidays.

At the head of the pack was the young Earl White Lodge, a new aristocrat who had made his fortune from the textile industry, a representative of the new bourgeoisie, and was well supported by the open-minded young Rao.

And the other big faction in parliament is the exact opposite.

They call themselves conservatives, conservative in their internal affairs, rejecting everything new,

Wishing to consolidate the power of the old aristocracy and weaken the power of the farmers and the new capitalists,

Since most of its members were knightly nobles and soldiers, they advocated a tough foreign policy and wanted to expand the army.

The Marquis of Donald Bakken was at the head of the list, and like Prime Minister Dalí, he was among the seven electors and was a prominent family with a long history.

All the Radical MPs gathered on the left and the Conservatives on the right, and the two factions often quarreled over serious differences.

Previously, due to the strong influence and resolute will of Empress Salentos, the parliamentarians were somewhat restrained.

Later, the empress's body and mind collapsed, and the speaker was unable to control the situation, and there was chaos that week, with the radicals and conservatives arguing, and in some cases even starting a large-scale group fight.

Since the Prime Minister presided over the Parliament, everything has started to go on track.

The politically minded Prime Minister Dali Einfurt soon found a solution;

That is to strengthen the influence of the self and balance the forces among the various parties.

Political games are an ancient art that requires experience and skill, and these Dalí are not lacking.

We cannot abuse power without a plan to suppress it, nor can we be too bold and blindly compromise.

He saw himself as a dancer, vowing to dance on the stage of power,

Neither too radical nor too conservative, but look for a reasonable golden mean that applies to the Valstad Empire.

In order to be fair and just, we must not take sides, and maintaining balance can ensure the stable operation of society, otherwise it will lead to disaster.

From time to time, Dalí would propose the release of minor offenders, pardon death row prisoners, recommend businessmen and civilians to government offices, increase holidays, and cut trade taxes, and Liberals and radicals would get excited.

Whenever the policy is too tilted to the left, he will adjust the policy to the right in time.

Conservatives were ecstatic at this time when they began to consolidate the rights and interests of the old aristocracy, reduce inheritance taxes, increase military spending, and increase honorary military allowances.

In this way, as if coaxing a child, everyone eats a piece of candy,

There were fewer and fewer quarrels in the House of Commons, factional disputes eased, and issues were discussed on a case-by-case basis, which tended to be reasonable, which greatly enhanced the efficiency of work.
