I see!

Got it all!

Only then did the dozen or so people present react, it was not that Toda Nagamasa, the prime minister, was more optimistic about Ninomiya Ritsu, nor that he had any secret deals behind Ninomiya Ritsu, but that he coveted the authority of the Public Prosecutor's Office, so he made such a fuss.

As everyone knows.

The authority of the Public Prosecutor's Office is enormous.

In particular, if the Public Prosecutor's Office does not prosecute, then the crime can be suppressed, so successive Prime Ministers have been trying their best to win over the officials of the Public Prosecutor's Office.

The prosecutor of the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office is now in charge.

It is the confidant of the former prime minister.

During his tenure as the former prime minister, I don't know how many appalling cases he helped suppress.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier.

As the new prime minister, it is impossible for Toda Nagamasa to give up control of the Public Prosecutor's Office, otherwise he will not dare to let go of his hands and feet no matter what he does, and he must worry at any time whether the Public Prosecutor's Office will suddenly attack him.

I want to meddle in the work of the Public Prosecutor's Office.

The Ministry of Justice is an unavoidable barrier.

However, the new Minister of Justice, Yasuji Yamane, was not supported by him, and he was not of the same mind.

If Yasuharu Yamane is allowed to take control of the Public Prosecutor's Office.

Then the consequences are unimaginable.

So he needed to find someone to take away the authority in charge of the prosecutor's office from Yasuji Yamane, the Minister of Justice.

Ninomiya Ritsu is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Because of so many political officials, only the second palace law was born at the grassroots, and there is no door and no faction.

There are only people with innocent backgrounds like Ritsu Ninomiya.

Only then did he dare to use it with confidence.

After all, it's been such a play.

Ninomiya Ritsu will inevitably be directly labeled as a Toda faction.

After that, he threw an olive branch.

I don't believe that Ritsu Ninomiya will refuse to serve him.

The authority of the second palace law, since he gave it out, he has the ability to take it back at any time.

And without his support.

Yasuji Yamane, the Minister of Justice, and another Vice-Minister of Justice alone were able to overwhelm him, unable to even carry out basic work.

This.

I believe that Ninomiya Ritsu knows better than him.

Of course.

There is also a secondary reason for choosing the second house.

That is, he heard that Ninomiya Ritsu has a very close relationship with the Kamiyo family.

Now that the Toda family is considering contacting the Kamiyo family to see if they can form a common alliance, but as the prime minister, he will definitely not be able to take the initiative to contact him, so the promotion of Ninomiya Ritsu to the position of political secretary of the Ministry of Justice can be regarded as a signal.

……

Afternoon.

The first cabinet meeting ended.

After this meeting, some people were happy and some were sad.

Joy naturally achieves the preset goal, and worry is the one who returns defeated.

Due to the first Cabinet meeting, it can only be attended by cabinet members.

So Hayakawa Jungen has been waiting outside.

As soon as he saw the Minister of Justice, Yasuji Yamane came out, he immediately greeted him: "Your Excellency Yamane has worked hard for the meeting, I will prepare a little wine and side dishes at home at night, and please be sure to appreciate your face......"

"Humph!"

Yasuji Yamane snorted coldly, ignored Hayakawa Shungen, and turned around and left.

Originally, he had a trace of incense with Hayakawa Jungen.

After all, Hayakawa Jungen was the person he asked the previous Minister of Justice to take care of, and he was promoted by the previous Minister of Justice.

But Hayakawa Shungen has a close relationship with Ritsu Ninomiya.

Now, Ritsu Ninomiya has taken over the work of the most important prosecutor's office under the Ministry of Justice.

Then between him and Ritsu Ninomiya.

There is an irreconcilable contradiction.

Therefore, he hated the house and Wuxia, and even his impression of Hayakawa Shungen was not good.

"Your Excellency Yamane? Lord Yamane? ”

Hayakawa Shungen called twice, but Yasuharu Yamane ignored him and left the prime minister's official residence.

"Hayakawa-kun, congratulations."

As Tokyo Hayakawa, Tanabe...... As soon as the spokesperson of the cabinet and the special minister in charge of the declining birthrate, Sudo Mochiki, who was jointly supported by the four families, came out of the cabinet, he found Hayakawa Jungen as soon as possible.

"Sudo-san, congratulations you mean?"

Hayakawa Jungen hurriedly looked at the source of the sound.

Their Hayakawa family, as a low-ranking family in Tokyo, could not support cabinet ministers who served their own family like top families such as Kamiyo and Aoki.

So generally small and medium-sized famous families.

It can only cooperate with other families of similar size, spend countless resources, and share a cabinet minister.

It's also because it's a partnership.

Therefore, the cabinet ministers, who are supported by all parties, occupy a dominant position in the cooperation.

And even if it's the four of them.

It can only support a minister with a declining birthrate at the bottom of the cabinet.

And self-comforting.

At least the Hayakawa family is in the cabinet, and they have their own ears, eyes and voices, so they can't say a word.

I heard Sudo say congratulations.

His first thought was to win the high-ranking position of political officer.

But the next second.

Sudo Kushiki's words poured a basin of cold water on him: "The congratulations I said may be a little different from what you thought, this time I expected the minister's cabinet and the Ministry of Finance and other top-ranked administrative official positions, none of which I could help you win, and you didn't even keep the position of administrative officer of the Ministry of Justice, and only got a position as an administrative officer of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology." ”

“……”

Hayakawa Jungen's face turned white in an instant.

The fact that he did not even retain his position as the political secretary of the Ministry of Justice proves that the Hayakawa family is already regarded as a family that has no potential and is in decline in the upper class of society.

Such a family.

If you don't find any turning point, your strength will only decline year after year, and finally fall to the bottom.

Sudo Kazuki said with concern: "Hayakawa-kun, your face doesn't seem right, are you okay?" ”

"Sudo Sanmi smiled."

Hayakawa Shungen finally came over with strong winds and waves, he suppressed the emotions in his heart, and asked with a smile, "So what congratulations you said?" It's not a joke. ”

"Of course not joking."

Sudo said with a smile: "If I'm not mistaken, you have a lot to do with Ninomiya-kun, right?" It seems that I heard that your second daughter is in a relationship with Ritsu Ninomiya? ”

"That's true."

"Then Hayakawa-san has to grasp this relationship."

Sudo reminded in a low voice: "At the cabinet meeting just now, that Ninomiya-kun took over the position of political secretary of the Ministry of Justice that you previously held, and not only was he in charge of the special agency prosecutor's office, but also directly connected to His Excellency the Prime Minister in his future work. ”

"How is this possible!?"

Hayakawa Jungen's first thought was not to believe it.

Ninomiya Ritsu has Kamiyo, Horikawa, Uehara and their Hayakawa family to contribute this time, and it is expected that he will get a top-ranked position as a political official, but it is a bit too exaggerated to be in charge of the prosecutor's office and directly responsible for the prime minister or something.

That's the prosecutor's office in the public prosecutor's office!

It has always been held in the hands of the Minister of Justice, and no one else is allowed to touch it.

Sometimes for the sake of authority.

The Minister of Justice will even fight with the Attorney-General.

Therefore, the authority of the Public Prosecutor's Office cannot be said to fall into the hands of a political officer.

Former Administrative Secretary of the Ministry of Justice.

He felt he had the most say in the matter.

"Hayakawa-kun, nothing is impossible."

Sudo pointed in the direction of the Prime Minister, "Don't you think that Ninomiya-kun is the most suitable person for the Prime Minister?" ”

“……”

Hayakawa Jungen suddenly realized that he had never paid more attention to Ninomiya Ritsu in his heart. (End of chapter)
