Chapter 569: Historical Legacy Issues
As the power of the old aristocracy declined, the internal strife in Quel'Thalas gradually stabilized.
But as long as Darkan remains in the day, this protracted infighting will not really be over.
This old fox pretends to drink tea and read the newspaper all day long, but Kael'thas, who comes into contact with him every day, can see the turmoil in this guy's heart.
When Kael'thas first ascended to the throne, Darkan did consider taking advantage of the new king's unstable foundation to make a wave.
It's a pity that the old king laid a solid foundation before he retired, and he didn't let Darkan find a chance to make a move.
In addition, the new king is not only a rhetorical theoretician, not only is he calm and pragmatic, but he is also surrounded by a group of capable ministers and officials, and there is a stinky boy with vicious eyes outside to control the overall situation.
It is undoubtedly a fool's dream to rely on those old nobles who have long been declining to tear apart the increasingly stable royal power.
With no chance to make a move, Darkan could only continue to hibernate.
Both Kael'thas and Sarean are well aware that he has not given up his inner ambitions.
He is like a hyena hiding in the shadows, always keeping an eye on the prey's every move, and will not hesitate to hunt once he finds a flaw.
With such a sinister creature on the sidelines, it is difficult to tell certain information about the deep secrets of Azeroth in front of the Silvermoon Council.
After all, Darkan is only an expert in infighting trapped in a corner of Quel'Salas, and his understanding of the world situation is very weak.
Regardless of internal or external warfare, Sarayan always believes that intelligence is the most important link.
With backlight blades scattered around the world providing intelligence, Kael'thas can open his eyes to the world at any time.
Darkan should also have a secret organization in charge of intelligence gathering, but in order to avoid being discovered by the Backlight Blade, he definitely doesn't dare to go too far, at most, he will install some henchmen in the country, and he will not be able to whip the outside world.
Sarean didn't want to broaden Darkan's horizons, so the guy had better let him squat at home as a mountain carving.
For a person like Darkan, the bigger the vision, the greater the ambition, and if he colludes with some outside forces who don't like Quel'Thalas, then it's really troublesome.
In light of this, even though Kael'thas had long been itching about Sarren's bizarre adventures, he patiently waited until a private conversation before asking.
When Salian first met Kael'thas , His Royal Highness the Prince who had been forced into exile from Dalaran was at the lowest point in his life.
The political struggle that rages at home has terrified Anastria, forcing its sole heir to the throne to take refuge in the limelight.
However, Kael'thas did not have a good time in Dalaran, and his status as crown prince doomed the Kenrito Council to hand over important internal affairs to him.
If only that were the case, by taking care of the unimportant matters that were hanging in the corners, Kael'thas would also be able to gain some experience in the future at the helm of Quel'Thalas.
However, under the oppression of the Great Humanists led by Modra, Kael'thas, the titular Senator of Kenrito, was almost completely hollowed out.
With the help of Sarjan, Kael'thas finally breathed a bad sigh before leaving Dalaran and returning home.
Since Kael'thas had ascended the throne and had managed to ease relations with Quel'Thalas, Antonidas would not let inconsequential people compromise the cooperation between the two countries again.
As a result, Modra has not been able to recover, and has been pressed by Antonidas to study in her own mage tower.
The icing on the cake is better than charcoal in the snow, and Salian helped Kael'thas in the most difficult time, and after several years of cooperation, the personal relationship between the two grew deeper.
What's more, the two have a very similar understanding of Quel'Salas's future development plans, adding a layer of like-mindedness to their good personal relationship.
Just as Darkan thought, now that the Saren Holy Scroll is in full swing, and there will be no sign of decay for a while.
Since this team of combinations could not be dismantled, Darkan could only sell the boat for a profit, and proposed that Salian only obey the royal family.
To put it bluntly, he is a minister with royal privileges.
As for how much authority the minister will get, it will depend on how much Kael'thas trusts Sarren.
The General Services Division is the body of Quel'Salas that appoints officials at all levels, and is under the jurisdiction of Silvermoon Councillor Solan Lian.
In the words of the barrage, the General Affairs Department is equivalent to the Ministry of Officials in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials in ancient times in another world, and it is one of the six ministries with high status, and it is also the head of the six ministries.
Sarean knew that even if he didn't want to, sooner or later he would get involved in domestic politics in order to strengthen Quel'Thalas.
That being the case, it's important to be prepared in advance.
He deliberately learned about the so-called six powers of the other world from the barrage.
The six ministries mentioned in the barrage are the Ministry of Officials, which is in charge of the appointment of officials, the Ministry of Finance, Food and other resources, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Rites and Etiquette, which is in charge of etiquette, propaganda, and cultural and educational undertakings, the Ministry of Justice, which is in charge of one-stop criminal punishment, the Ministry of Military Affairs, and finally the Ministry of Industry, which is in charge of various projects throughout the country.
According to the perspective of the "modern people" mentioned in the barrage, the distribution of duties and powers of the six departments is not clear enough, and many times it is a matter of eyebrows and mustaches, and it is inevitable that there will be overlapping functions and powers.
Quel'Salas also faces the problem of unclear and overlapping official authority, a legacy of Dasrema's time.
To put it bluntly, it was made by his method of dividing cakes.
Darth Rema only thinks about everyone sitting in a row and eating fruits, but he leaves a lot of trouble for his children and grandchildren.
Sarean is not denigrating Darthrema's exploits, but everything has to be seen from multiple perspectives.
It is true that Darth Rema led the upper elves to travel thousands of miles eastward to create the Sun Well using the water of the Well of Eternity, laying the foundation of Quel'Salas's founding in one fell swoop, and his merits cannot be concealed.
But that doesn't mean Darth Rema is the all-powerful perfection that the old aristocracy boasted about.
There is no love in the world for no reason, and the reason why the old nobles brag about Darth Rema is because he has damaged his own royal power and distributed the power to the old brothers who fought the world with him.
When Darth Lema was still there, with his strong personality and great exploits, those grateful nobles naturally did not fight against him.
Unfortunately, not every Sun King has the full support of the nobles.
In the early days of the state, Quel'Salas was busy dealing with the frenzied attacks of the forest trolls, and all the nobles were giving their full support to this protracted Great Patriotic War.
However, with the creation of the Ranger Force by the brilliant Taranas Windranger and the gradual exorcism of the trolls from the northern part of the Eternal Song Forest, the nobles of Silvermoon City, who have gradually stabilized, are finally enjoying their lives in peace.
From then on, these founding nobles had no sense of distress and began to degenerate rapidly, even daring to fight the Sun King face to face.
These historical problems created by Dasrema were exposed at the beginning of Anastria's tenure.
Sarean returned home this time to persuade Kael'thas to put the officials in order, re-rationalize the distribution of powers among various departments, and avoid the situation of overlapping powers and fighting each other.
After listening to a series of adventure stories told by Sarjan, Kael'thas couldn't recover for a long time.
"Pandaria...... I didn't expect Azeroth to have such a continent hidden in the mist. ”
Kael'thas said with some emotion: "Now I finally know where those panda people who like to travel around are from. ”
Calming down, Kael'thas asked solemnly, "So, Lorcan and his army of steel are not orthodox Titan Guardians, but a group of rebels who have turned their backs on their duties?" ”
Salian nodded, "So to speak. ”
"I've roped in the rightful Guardian of Azadas, and for years to come, the Backlight Blades, led by Yatra, will sneak into the Storm Crags and try to get in touch with another Guardian, Torrim."
"Hey~"
Kael'thas smiled bitterly and rubbed his eyebrows: "The outside world is so exciting, but I am trapped in a country full of infighting and unable to spread my fists and feet, which is really frustrating." ”
Salian comforted softly: "The chaos in the country will subside sooner or later. ”
"For the next few years, I will stay in the country to assist Your Majesty, and strive to complete the reforms we have planned for an early period and bring Quel'Salas back to life."
Kael'thas nodded with a heavy expression: "There is a long way to go, with your help, I can finally relax a little." ”
"By the way, I have already instructed Solan Lian to ask the Secretary of General Affairs to customize an official position for you, and you should be able to see it in a few days."
"In the free time of the past few days, you can go home and take care of the territory and family affairs first, and I still need your help in many things after that."
