Kael'thas had always watched Darkan rebuild his private scout, but he chose to turn a blind eye.

On the one hand, this was intended to take this opportunity to show weakness to Darkan, making him think that he was just a young king who had not yet matured, and let his guard down on Darkan after the most dangerous period.

On the other hand, Kael'thas deliberately leaked Sarjan's identity to Darkan in order to shock him and make him more worried before making a bold move.

Darkan is still unsure whether he will offend his dragon mother, or even ......, if he does it to Saljan The entire dragon clan.

If Darkan still plans to go his own way with so many debuffs, it means that he has been confused by the obsession of ascending to power, and Kael'thas will no longer covet his ability to govern, just kill him directly if he strikes first.

It is also helpless to say that, at least so far, Kael'thas has not unearthed a talent in the country that is more suitable for the post of prime minister than Darkan.

Today, Quel'Thalas is still nominally dualistic, but in fact, the center of gravity has long been concentrated in the hands of the Sun King.

The cabinet ministers only assisted the Sun King in power, and were no longer able to fight against the king as before.

Darkan, the prime minister, has long been unable to cover the sky with one hand, and no matter what he proposes, as long as Kael'thas can find even the slightest loophole in the scheme, he can justifiably veto it.

After several years of development, the cabinet has recruited as many as 100 officials at all levels, but in fact, there are only a few key ministers who hold the core power.

What makes Darkan feel angry is that, apart from himself, these powerful elders are all supporters of Kael'thas without exception, and no matter how he operates, Kael'tham's ruling foundation is still as stable as an old dog.

Recently, Darkan received definite news that the Sun King intends to divide the increasingly bloated cabinet, bringing elite officials at the core of power into the newly formed Senate and those who are lower in rank to the House of Representatives.

According to Kael'thas (in fact, Sarean), the Senate will still hold the core of power, and the officials who are eligible to join the Senate are political elites with many years of political experience.

The House of Representatives, on the other hand, is open to the general public of Quel'Thalas, and each noble lord's jurisdiction elects a representative of the nobles and a representative of the commoners to obtain seats.

In principle, the seat of the nobility will go to the lord, unless the lord himself is unwilling to take the position, so as to ensure that the existing feudal aristocratic foundation of Quel'Salas will not be easily overturned.

But at the same time, the representation seats allocated to the commoners will allow Kael'thas to fully listen to the real voices of the people, and the selection requirements and transparency of the plebeian representatives will be much higher than that of the aristocratic representatives.

In the words of the barrage, these civilian representatives are the really important part of the House of Representatives, and the House of Representatives will convene all the delegates to participate in the discussion meeting every year, which is essentially the people's congress mentioned by the barrage.

After taking over the throne from his father, with the full assistance of many of his confidants, Kael'thas became more and more mature and sophisticated.

Kael'thas proposed a new reform plan that may not seem as sharp as before, and will no longer easily threaten the position of the noble lords, but in fact he has never given up on the determination to reform the social system.

For Quel'Thalas, who has a population of 20 million, the base of the aristocratic population at the top of the pyramid is too small, and the total number is only tens of thousands.

It is true that the children of the nobility who have received elite education all year round are more likely to give birth to talents.

But from the moment they are sensible, these descendants of the nobility will begin to receive all education that prioritizes the interests of the family, and many will even put the interests of the family above the interests of the state.

This kind of person obviously does not meet Kael'thas selection criteria.

At the suggestion of Sarjan, Kael'thas Warm Boiled Frog gradually established a civilian enlightenment education, a secondary education that produced a large number of social backbones, and a higher talent education that thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge.

In the process of battling wits with the nobles, Kael'thas learned to compromise and be flexible.

The feudal aristocracy of Quel'Salas has been maintained for more than 6,800 years, from the founding of Darth Rema to the present day.

It is unrealistic to want to remove the privileges of the nobility in one step, after all, the king is essentially part of the aristocratic system.

Kael'thas really wanted to rejuvenate the lazy Quel'Thalas through reforms, but he couldn't just kill himself, right?

In order to take back the military power and hereditary territorial management from the noble lords who control the private army, Kael'thas can only patiently train civilian officers and civilian officials, and let them infiltrate the various noble territories little by little.

Even Sarren, who has led the way by employing civilian officials in large numbers, is uncertain how many years it will take to accomplish this goal.

Fortunately, the High Elves lived long enough, and Kael'thas had plenty of time to accompany the nobles to grind slowly.

The Sun King intends to use the centennial as a yardstick, hoping that a talent will be born among the civilian students to replace Darkan as prime minister.

Unlike the private education of their own children by the aristocracy, the colleges at all levels established by the Sun King himself "carried private goods" to join the patriotic education.

Until then, civilians had no stable avenue to rise in status.

Only a handful of gifted children can be apprenticed by the mages, and may grow up to have a chance to enter the high society of Quel'Thalas.

Kael'thas broke this rule, and although he offended many nobles, he gained immeasurable gratitude and loyalty among the commoners.

Under the dual loyalty and patriotic education of the family and school, at least until the overt privileges of the nobility disappeared, the commoner-born officials would frantically support Kael'thas, and they would never want to return to the dark ages of the former without a way to rise.

What? The era of the complete absence of privileged strata and absolute fairness?

Something that exists only in an ideal is simply not possible.

Needless to say, sooner or later a family of civilian officials will be formed, even if they are also commoners, the children of wealthy families will be ahead of the children of poor families from birth.

Is this fair? And who is to blame? The previous generation of poor children did not work hard enough? Lack of talent?

So how can the things brought out of the womb of talent be fair?

The social equity that Saljan and Kael'thas want to achieve is relative justice.

Absolute fairness is basically impossible, and even the world in which the barrage is located has never heard of any country that can reach this level, and can only regard it as a lofty ideal that inspires future generations to strive for.

According to the barrage, there is only one intelligent species in their world, humans.

And Azeroth's intelligent creatures are strange, and the innate abilities of different races are also very different, and absolute fairness is impossible to talk about.

For example, Darkan, as a High Elf, is born with a longer lifespan than the short-lived race.

But he was still not satisfied with this, and the ambitious Darkan wanted eternal life, eternal power.

With dragon blood, Darjan is not destined to be limited by natural lifespan from birth, and his starting point is the end of Darkan's life's struggle, and it is strange that Darkan, who is jealous, does not regard Sarjan as a thorn in his side.

Before Kael'thas carried out this decoy plan, he specifically asked Sarean for his opinion on the matter.

Sarajan doesn't care about Darkan's jealousy and hostility, he has a lot to think about, and most of them are related to the survival of Azeroth.

Darkan, who is secretly doing things in Quel'Salas, he really doesn't care about it.

Of course, this is not to say that Salian will let his guard down on Darkan.

The Sun King had been keeping an eye on him, but at the slightest hint of trouble, the Backlight Blade would immediately tell Valeera the relevant information.

And there are also senior officials in the cabinet who have a good relationship with Sarren, such as Liresa, Carbonia, Solan Lian, and Talerville.

Unless Darkan can hide from all of them, it will be more difficult to plot against Salren, who is already a marquis and has his own territory, than to ascend to the sky.

As one of the first lords to promote civilian officials, Salian had a very transcendent position in the eyes of his own people.

To put it mildly, due to the distance of the Emperor of the Sky, the Sun King Kael'thas is afraid that he is not as good as his own lord in the eyes of the people of the Marquis of Deep Shadow.

Fortunately, Kael'thas and Sarren have long been incompatible, knowing that he has no interest in power, but only uses power as a tool to achieve the goal of salvation, otherwise this kind of powerful nobleman with high merit will inevitably plant a thorn in the king's heart.

Before the closed-door meeting of the Cabinet, Saljan received a small assignment from Kael'thas.

The Underwater Combat Force was too long to pronounce, and Kael'thas asked Sarren to come up with a palpable legion name for the newly formed unit, following the custom of Quel'Salas.

"Legion name?"

Salian pondered for a few seconds: "Underwater warfare...... Otherwise, it's called the Jiaolong Army, right? ”
