Chapter 297: Appointment (Part II)
,
Factory, Lasse stopped him, and Emperor Julund couldn't help but look at him in a strange way, Russell immediately realized his gaffe, he smiled reluctantly, then slowed down, and said cautiously: "Doing this is not a good thing for our Eastern Front, or even for Archduke Julian."
Emperor Zhulund smiled and said, "My dear Prime Minister, you are too worried. You guard against this and that all day long, I believe my brother. Although the others are also a little jerk, they definitely don't have any dissenting intentions
Russell smiled bitterly, and then said, "I also believe in His Royal Highness the Grand Duke Julian, but from a political point of view, it is necessary to do so." ”
He paused for a moment, and then said very sternly: "Your Majesty, the most critical problem is that we can't open this bad head." If there are important ministers in the future who also make the same requirements as His Royal Highness the Grand Duke, at that time, what will the royal family of the empire do?
At that time, even if you don't agree, there will be some discussion. And what about one more time, and one more time?"
Rulund looked at his friend, let out a long sigh, and said, "The embankment of a thousand miles has collapsed in the anthill, and we must take precautions. I understand that. ”
Russell bowed his head slightly at the moment and said, "Your Majesty is wise." ”
Emperor Julund was silent for a moment.
While thinking about it, he played with the huge diamond ring in his hand, looking at the dreamlike colorful light reflected on the diamond ring.
After a moment, he suddenly said, "That's right. I have an idea, let's transfer Lorraine to Ney. ”
After Emperor Zhulund finished speaking, he laughed as if he had told a funny joke.
Russell couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said hesitantly: "That's not good", Your Majesty, Lorraine is too young after all, let him be the governor now
Emperor Jolund interrupted Russell's words and said, "My dear minister, what do you think of this boyfriend of my niece?.
Russell thought for a moment and laughed. said: "The Count of Lorraine is a principled person, not rigid and stubborn, brave and resourceful, and good at flexibility, but when it is time to start, he is unambiguous.
The heart is black, bold, thick-skinned, and the belly is full of bad water. I'm so old that I might not be able to fight him. ”
When Emperor Julund heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "Russell." My scheming Russell actually has times when he throws in the towel?"
Russell shook his head with a wry smile. continued: "He has the qualities of an excellent politician, but he is still a little too young. Lack of experience, sometimes it is inevitable that you can't see through the facts. With a little experience, after ten years, you can enter the cabinet, and after twenty years, you will be the best candidate for the prime minister. ”
"The heart is black, bold, thick-skinned, and has the quality of an excellent political family." Emperor Jolund repeated Russell's assessment of Lorraine, and then glanced at him.
Although the two didn't say anything, they could understand each other's intentions: like this kind of guy with extremely high talent value, under normal circumstances, he has to limit his use.
It's like Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and the like. even learned from Liu Bang's classmate Han Xin back then, and clicked him.
Because examples of classmates such as Wang Damang, Cao De, and Zhao Kuang who were Taizu prove that as long as this kind of guy gains power, he may want to play a management buyout.
But Lord Nai Ho Lorraine really took shit luck and climbed up to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. Now this guy is also considered a royal relative. In addition to treating him as a donkey, you can rest assured and bold, no matter how you use it, there is no problem.
Thinking of this, Zhulunde suddenly remembered what had happened, and couldn't help laughing, and said with a laugh: "My dear Prime Minister, you have summed it up so right. I looked at the guy, especially when he was laughing, and I wanted to feel a little itchy in my hand and want to go up and beat him
Russell also smiled and said, "Have you already been the Count of Lorraine?"
Emperor Julund was immediately stunned.
Only then did he realize his gaffe, and then he snorted and said with a bitter face: "Don't ask about this."
Nicole is still angry with me because of what happened before." I can't be blamed for that. When the girl is older, she always has to get married. But she didn't have a partner to marry. And my brother also patronizes himself and doesn't think about it for her. That's why I thought about finding one for her. Who knew that she didn't appreciate it, even if she found a suitable one, it wasn't because we forced her in the first place."
Julund remembered what had happened, felt very aggrieved, and muttered in a low voice for a while.
Russell listened to his broken thoughts. There was a chill at the moment.
He knew that if he waited a little longer, this old friend was like Leo's hooligan, after being caught doing bad things, he would grit his teeth and shirk his responsibility.
Later, he will inevitably turn the gun and accuse himself: You were not good in the first place. I listened to you, and that's why I'm in this situation,"
He hurriedly interrupted Emperor Zhulunde's words and said, "Your Majesty, what exactly do you want to say?"
Rulund was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, what do I want?"
He rolled his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "By the way, I want to talk about Catherine."
He paused for a moment, and then said, "So, I want to compensate her and directly put Lorraine as if she must have fainted." With the dagger, Leo didn't know who he learned from this afternoon, and all the good things came out to me and snatched them."
Russell interrupted him as he chattered again. Said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the Earl of Lorraine can't handle the complicated situation in Naian, and the situation in a border province like this is only a little better than that of Deren." Especially Lorraine is young and vigorous, and it has been a long time. I'm afraid we're going to get into big trouble. ”
Emperor Zhulunde shook his head and said: "He can handle it well, of course it is better, if he can't handle it well, he should be given a lesson seven, and if he suffers more, young people can grow up faster." It's just that there's really a big problem. Wouldn't it be nice to let my brother wipe his ass? Those alien races in Naian Province really need to teach the Seventh. ”
Russell hesitated for a moment and said, "Is that so, does the Grand Guild agree?"
Emperor Jolund said: "I understand my younger brother, as long as Catherine is happy, he will not have any opinions, I will directly give Lorraine a governor, will Catherine still be unhappy?"
Russell asked, "Then your Majesty, where is the Marquis of Marleton?"
Emperor Zhulund pondered for a moment and said, "Write a letter and reprimand him." Then transfer him back to the northern front, and then be the commander-in-chief, and let him command Delun's first qiē operation, "and only he can suppress those northern families." ”
Russell nodded and said, "Obey Your Majesty, I will talk to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Count Lorraine." ”
Emperor Julund thought for a moment and said, "Well, let's see what Catherine has to ask, if you can meet it, try your best to meet it, that place in Nai'an, after all, it's hard." ”
Russell stood up, bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
Then he said goodbye and left.
He walked out of the dining room. Back to his own office. waited until there was no one around, and then a smug smile appeared on his face.
Lorraine accompanied a few beautiful women to enjoy the shopping street for half a day. A couple of girls. Including the half-sized Melina, all of them go excellent clothes racks. It looks good in anything.
This is especially true for the fashions made from precious fabrics in famous stores. A few girls in exchange for it. Lorraine's eyes were glazed.
Catherine's grace and elegance, Adele's charm and charm. Florina's strength and calmness, Sylmelia's holiness and immaculateness, Vera's purity and coquettishness, Melina's innocence"
The eyes of the men next to him fell straight away, and the women hated the root of their teeth, but they dared not speak out, so they could only curse Lorraine in a circle in their hearts.
From going out in the morning and playing until sunset, several girls were dragged back home by Lorraine. looked at the packages piled up like a mountain in front of him, and the few girls who cheered on the packages with Park, Leola La Lorraine's clothes, and then whispered very sympathetically: "Boss, you really look like a Kaizi"
Lorraine glanced at Leo ominously, and then said, "Trust me, son." You will have this day too. Let's big brother, don't laugh at the second brother. ”
Leo was stunned for a moment, then peeked at Melina, who was chattering with a few girls, and immediately felt a fur in his heart, and subconsciously tightened his wallet.
Lorraine said disdainfully: "Look at your unproductive appearance, just earn it when you spend it." What's this?"
Leo had a bitter face at the moment and said, "Boss, while collecting my taxes, you are also spending my money. Even though we have two dollars now, we don't have to play like this. ”
He paused for a moment, and then said hatefully: "Let's be honest with you, Nicole has been collecting my heavy taxes, and I have the heart to immigrate now"
Catherine and Adele had finished dividing the packages and saw Lorraine and then Leo. People are here to break their thoughts, and at the moment they raised their eyebrows and said, "You two, sneakily in a hurry?"
Lorraine and Leo hurriedly shook their heads, stretched out their hands to each other in unison, and then said in unison, "I'm complimenting you on your vision." The boss (Leo) doesn't believe it. ”
After Lorraine finished speaking, he saw Leo's outstretched fat finger pointing at him, and immediately raised his hand and slapped his paw down.
But Leo knew. Now it is very likely that I want to eat the chops, and at the critical juncture of a fragrant stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots, I will not give in at the moment, although this hand was patted down, but the other hand was quietly raised and pointed at Lorraine.
And at the same time, he blinked twice that he was black and white, with big watery eyes, and he was cute.
Catherine snorted. said: "I'm in a good mood today. Just let you two go. Let's get ready for dinner, Lorraine, and I've got them to prepare some tonic soup, and it says it works well. ”
As he spoke, he quietly flew over with a wink.
The long slender eyelashes blinked slightly, and the beautiful eyes were about to drip water.
Lorraine couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment, and then said, "Nicole." I haven't gotten there yet. Don't listen to the nonsense of those old specialists.
Lorraine and the others were playing here, when a waiter came in from outside the door, came to Lorraine's side, and said, "Someone has asked to see Lord Lorraine." ”
Catherine was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "Why is there still someone coming to the door so late, who is coming?"
The waiter replied respectfully: "It's the personal secretary of the big robbery." ”
The two of them listened, and they said "Huh?" at the same time.
Catherine said, "Russell, old fellow, what can he do to come to the door at this time." ”
Adele saw Catherine's appearance. "What's wrong?" asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Leo rubbed his chin and put his hands on his chest. Pretending to be an old traitor, he laughed twice, and then said: "Could it be that Russell wants to lure the boss to the door, and then smash the cup as a number, five hundred knife axe hands on the left, five hundred knife axe hands on the right, click the boss, and then Duo Cheng a few "ouch!"
Catherine slammed Leo's head at the door, and Leo screamed and rubbed his head vigorously.
Catherine took Leo's ears and said with a cold face, "What nonsense. It's Lorraine mess again. ”
Leo straightened his neck. said: "What the boss said, don't all the traitors in those stories do this?"
When Adele heard this, her face immediately changed, and she said viciously: "That's it, he didn't cheat us once or twice, and now he dares to come to the door." ”
After speaking, he rolled up his sleeves, waved his pink fist, and said, "Vera, go out with me to beat people."
Vera was buried in the pile of packages and reveled. However, when she heard Adele say that she was going to beat someone, she immediately jumped out unequivocally, and said very arrogantly: "Okay, okay." Daile, who do you say? Let's beat him up and make him unable to take care of himself for the rest of his life, and then go to his house and set a fire. Snatch all the gold coins from their house,"
Lorraine grabbed Adele, who was eager to try, and then rescued Leo from Catherine's hand, and said, "Okay, Nicole, Del, don't make trouble, let's go out and have a look, maybe there is something serious." ”
Catherine pondered for a moment, and then said, "Summoning you over now should be about personnel arrangements." I guess it's to probe your tone. ”
Lorraine was overjoyed and said, "We also have an organized conversation here, then I should go." ”
As he spoke, he was about to leave.
Catherine hurriedly stretched out her hand and pulled him down, and then instructed uneasily: "If Russell wants to arrange for you to go to that place, no matter how good the conditions he gives, you won't agree." Come back to us to discuss, you don't want to be blown by that old guy's two slogans, and you will be confused and hot-headed. ”
Adele also said: "That's it." These politicians are poisoning that, and it's all deception back and forth, and you can't be fooled. ”
Before Lorraine could speak, Leo jumped out from behind Lorraine, waved his hand and said: "You women with hearts are all blind to worry, the boss is so shrewd, he has never been the only one who has cheated on others, how can anyone else cheat the boss." ”
Lorraine looked at his blind confidence in himself, and said secretly in his heart at the moment: Speaking of others, the people of your family have not cheated me, and your emperor's uncle took me a superb blessing gem a few days ago!
Catherine said hurriedly, "Is that the same? This time it was Russell, who hit us twice for bad ideas." ”
Lorraine patted Catherine on the back and said, "Don't worry." Gotta go over and check it out, I'll be Russell's heart. ”
Catherine and Adele accompanied Lorraine to the living room, where Lorraine saw a man in his mid-thirties standing by the wall, admiring several paintings hanging on the wall.
This person has short black and brown hair, no combs, melon seed face, and looks like a talent, his skin is healthy in the sun, and his cheeks are ruddy.
He was slightly fatter than Lorraine, and wore a sky blue and dark blue coat, and the boots on his feet were spotlessly polished.
Seeing Lorraine and Catherine and Adele walking into the living room, this person hurriedly walked up to Catherine, bent down slightly, bowed, and said, "See Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”
Catherine said, "No need to be polite. You're the secretary of the Minister-sama?"
The man nodded to Lorraine and Adele, and then said respectfully to Catherine, "I am the personal secretary of Lord Xiang. Viscount Friedrich. ”
Catherine said unceremoniously, "What is the matter with Lorraine, Lord Xiang? Is there anything you can't talk about tomorrow?"
Viscount Friedrich remained still respectful. said: "I really don't know this, Lord Xiang just ordered me to invite His Excellency the Count of Lorraine." ”
Adele said dissatisfiedly: "Really, it's sneaky, it's not a good thing." ”
Viscount Friedrich didn't care when he heard this, but smiled mildly and said, "Please understand, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess and Sister Adele, and promise to send the Count of Lorraine home on time and security." ”
The implication is that although everyone can rest assured, Viscount Friedrich will not be so short-sighted, and he will take Lorraine to drink flower wine.
Adele pulled Catherine and said, "Nicole, why don't you go and have a look?"
Catherine frowned and thought for a moment.
When Viscount Friedrich heard Adele say this, he showed an embarrassed expression, stretched out his hand to scratch his head, and said with a wry smile: "Please understand, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess and Sister Adele." ”
Lorraine patted Catherine and Adele's hands and said, "Okay, if there's anything, I'll know when I go to meet him." Then he leaned into the ears of the two and said in a loud voice: "It's white at night, wait for me to come back." ”
Catherine and Adele didn't make a fuss because of the presence of the living, but just smiled and pinched Lorraine's reserve.
Lorraine turned to Viscount Friedrich and made a gesture of please, "Your Excellency, please." ”
"You please. ”
Lorraine and Viscount Friedrich boarded the carriage waiting outside the gate and headed for the Prime Minister's Mansion. (To be continued)
