- Russell walked into his office with a tired look, and the warm air in the room made the prime minister of the continent's most powerful country breathe comfortably. .
It was already midnight outside the window, and the largest city on the continent had become quiet. Only the Prime Minister's Office was still brightly lit with large lights.
If the Prime Minister doesn't leave, his subordinates don't dare to leave without permission, so they can only hold on.
Viscount Friedrich, the Prime Minister¡¯s personal secretary, took Russell¡¯s coat, hung it on the hanger, brought a cup of hot black tea, and placed it next to the Prime Minister.
Prime Minister Russell fell weakly on the chair, touched the smooth and bright head of his head, closed his eyes tiredly, folded his hands on his chest, and slowly bumped his thumbs back and forth.
It looked like he was falling asleep, but Viscount Friedrich knew that this was the prime minister's usual behavior when he was deep in thought.
Viscount Friedrich also stood aside silently, patiently waiting for the Prime Minister's instructions.
After a while, Russell let out a long sigh, sat up, picked up the steaming black tea and took a slow sip.
Viscount Friedrich whispered: "Are you still making trouble about His Majesty's affairs?"
Russell smiled bitterly, nodded slightly, and complained to his personal secretary: "I don't know what your Majesty is thinking, but he suddenly thought of establishing a queen at such a critical moment."
Viscount Friedrich said softly: "Perhaps Your Majesty feels that if you don't stand up now, you will have no chance in the future?"
Prime Minister Russell nodded first, then shook his head and said: "I can understand His Majesty's mood, but the timing is really not chosen well, whether it is a few years earlier or later, it will happen. The resistance is less than it is now.¡±
Viscount Frederick remained silent. He did not dare to slander His Majesty the Emperor, even if it was just in front of Prime Minister Russell. That would be a very immature performance.
Years of working as a private secretary have given Viscount Friedrich a deep understanding of how deep the waters in the officialdom are. What should not be said should not be said, even when having sex with a lover.
"The House of Arms is in turmoil~!" Prime Minister Russell patted his forehead and suddenly laughed happily, saying: "A few old guys held ropes and said that if His Majesty makes Lady Lucrezia the Queen, They all hanged themselves at the gate of the Hall of Arms.
I really hope these old guys can keep their word. "
Listening to Prime Minister Russell¡¯s angry words, Viscount Friedrich laughed out loud and said teasingly: ¡°I¡¯m afraid the rope will be too light and won¡¯t be able to bear the weight of the elders.¡±
Prime Minister Russell patted his thigh cheerfully and laughed out loud. He raised his hand and nodded to his secretary, saying: "You, you, just take it.
"However, it is really possible. "
Viscount Friedrich shrugged. He also came from a well-established aristocratic family, and he knew very well the virtues of those guys who relied on their elders and sold them off.
The louder they scream, the more they are posturing and bargaining.
¡°On the contrary, it¡¯s most terrifying when everyone is silent. That¡¯s when they are already sharpening their swords and are about to kill someone.
Prime Minister Russell sneered and said: "Today, someone suggested that if His Majesty wants to get married, they are willing to find a dozen candidates for His Majesty, but not even Lady Lucrezia."
Viscount Friedrich flattened his lips and said, "Those guys are famous for their stubbornness in this regard."
"Yes," Prime Minister Russell sighed and said: "Not to mention my civilian background, I am still a widow, even if I go to an ordinary family, I have to struggle, let alone the most difficult imperial family.
Not everyone has the courage and luck of the eldest princess. "
The nobles in Ruman City were not opposed to the emperor¡¯s marriage. It is not normal for His Majesty the Emperor to be single all the time. What the nobles unanimously opposed was that the emperor wanted to marry Lady Lucrezia as his queen.
"To be the queen of the Ruman Empire, you don't have to be a princess, but you must be a lady from a famous noble family.
Mrs. Lucrezia is a daughter of a yeoman farmer, not to mention she has not studied for a few years, and she is still a widow whose husband has died. If she is made queen, won¡¯t she let other people in the mainland see the joke of the Ruman Empire?
Where is the state body? Where is the dignity of imperial power? Where is the face of the nobles?
Of course, this does not mean that everyone has any dissatisfaction with Mrs. Lucrezia herself. Everyone agrees that Mrs. Lucrezia is a good woman.
But rules are rules~!
Speaking of which, Lady Lucrezia¡¯s experience is quite legendary. After her husband died, her husband¡¯s family wanted to take away her property.
??Mrs. Lucrezia, who was gentle by nature, was forced to have no choice but to live with her little private money.??I rented a small store in Ruman City to do embroidery.
Because of his skill and dexterity, he knew a unique embroidery method, and soon began to process clothes for the ladies of the upper class, and also taught them embroidery as a teacher.
Emperor Rudrun met the simple and quiet Lady Lucrezia for the first time at a banquet held at a minister's house. At that time, his cufflinks fell off, and Lady Lucrezia embroidered the buttons for him.
When Lady Lucrezia lowered her head and concentrated on threading her needle, Emperor Rudelun suddenly fell in love with this gentle woman.
At the time, Lady Lucrezia did not know that this lustful old man was the emperor.
"And Emperor Rudelun saw in this little woman a tender feeling that he had never experienced before.
Russell himself had eaten dinner cooked by Lady Lucrezia. He admitted that Lady Lucrezia was an ideal marriage partner, but she was not suitable to be a queen.
In this matter, Emperor Rudelun is a little too stubborn and insistent.
Russell looked at his secretary at the table and said: "As for your opinion, Free, you young people always have different ideas from us old men."
Viscount Friedrich pursed his lips and thought for a while, then said: "I don't think this matter is a big deal. Anyway, His Majesty is now that"
Viscount Friedrich spoke squeaky, but Russell also understood what he meant, nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty is also in a hurry. Time is running out."
"Actually" Viscount Friedrich hesitated for a moment and said boldly: "This matter is quite big when it comes to big things, and quite small when it comes to small things. The key is to see which family's opinion."
Russell quickly understood what Viscount Friedrich meant. He nodded slowly and thoughtfully and said, "That family has not expressed its position until now."
"Perhaps we will see it soon," Viscount Friedrich spread his hands and said, "I just received a telegram. Her Royal Highness the Princess, Young Duke Leo, and Marshal Lorraine are already on their way back to Ruman. The earliest possible date is tomorrow. arrival."
Russell was stunned for two seconds, and then suddenly said: "Fry, have you been with me nine years, or ten years?"
Viscount Friedrich straightened his back and said seriously: "Nine years and ten months, Prime Minister."
Russell smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work, you must have been criticized a lot, right?"
Viscount Friedrich smiled bitterly and said modestly: "It's all due to the humble position."
"Are you willing to go to the ministry to practice, or do you want to go somewhere to practice?" Russell looked at him and asked seriously.
Viscount Friedrich was startled. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and bowed: "I will obey the Prime Minister's orders in everything."
Russell rubbed his thumbs and thought slowly, and said: "It's better to go somewhere, hang out in Ruman City, you are still a little behind.
"But it can't be too far. It's just around Ruman City. I'll find you a city lord position first, practice it for two terms, and then transfer it back to the central government to serve as a department director and a deputy chief. You'll almost have a chance to find a governor." "
"Thank you for your cultivation." Viscount Friedrich said excitedly. He hesitated and said, "Actually, I would rather go to Nai'an to have a look."
Russell smiled with satisfaction and said: "The young man is still very motivated. I read you right, but if you want to go to Nai'an, you have to find connections yourself."
Viscount Friedrich showed a toothache expression, shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "I will try my best."
At this time, the secretary on duty outside the door knocked on the door and informed the Marquis of Viertel that he wanted to see him.
Russell looked at the time and felt very strange. Why was he here at midnight? There is no reason to come at this time.
However, people still ordered the Marquis of Viertel to come in. This Marquis was the first nobleman to turn to Russell. He was a supporter of the Prime Minister and a political ally of Russell.
Viscount Friedrich brought the Marquis of Viertel into the reception room and then retreated, leaving only the Prime Minister and the Marquis. The people who came to the door at this time must have come for something important.
After the Marquis of Viertel was polite to the Prime Minister, he slowly said tentatively: "Your Majesty is not in good health right now. Archduke Julius will be back soon. This era will soon change."
Russell knew what he was worried about, but he could only shake his head with a wry smile and said: "Times will always change. Some people will come and some will leave."
Based on his relationship with Archduke Julius and Princess Catherine, I am afraid that this prime minister will not be able to serve for long. This is why he is eager to arrange for his secretary Friedrich to take up the post.
Marquis Viertel was silent for a moment.He hesitated and said: "I said, what if~!
¡°If we have a way to continue to maintain the current situation, I wonder if you would be interested? "
"Oh?" Russell looked at the Marquis in surprise and said jokingly: "I wonder when you became a Julius?"
Marquis Viertel gave a long laugh and said: "Prime Minister, you are joking. We and they will never be the same group of people, but I am serious about this issue."
Russell is also interested. I wonder what method he can come up with to allow himself to continue as prime minister.
Marquis Viertel bent down to the Prime Minister and whispered: "Isn't your Majesty going to marry the Queen?"
Russell nodded wordlessly.
Marquis Viertel lowered his voice and said: "We should support His Majesty in marrying Lady Lucrezia, if, I mean if"
He looked left and right cautiously, even though he knew there was no one in the room, and then asked nervously: "What if the Queen is pregnant?"
Russell was startled, with a horrified expression on his face, but he was quickly suppressed. He looked at Marquis Viertel with a sullen face and asked sternly: "Whose idea was this?"
Marquis Viertel squeaked: "I am also the owner of all of us"
Russell sneered, a gleam of light appeared in his squinted eyes, and said: "Have you ever thought about what would happen if the queen would not be pregnant?"
"Then we'll give her one," Marquis Viertel said with a stern sneer, "and it's guaranteed to be a boy."
Russell suddenly jumped up and said with a serious face: "I will pretend that you have never been here today, and I have never said these words. You can go."
Marquis Viertel curled his lips in displeasure, shrugged and stood up, saying: "Prime Minister, please seriously consider our suggestions. We are also doing this for Rumain's future, and"
He blinked his eyes and said, "You understand~!"
In the view of Marquis Vertel, since Russell did not refuse on the spot, it means that there is still room for discussion on the matter, and it is impossible for Russell to make up his mind on the spot.
Marquis Viertel put on his hat and said one last thing before opening the door: "We don't have much time left."
Watching his figure disappear behind the door, Russell sat on the chair, his palms clasped together on his lips, his face gloomy and terrifying.
After sitting in silence for a few minutes, Russell stood up and picked up the phone on the table. (To be continued.) - Didn't finish reading?
