"This is Kubal, you've seen it."
Before the wedding, Dulin met Kubal, the incoming party leader and the first person in the empire who has now moved into the cabinet office.
Kubal looks taller and thinner than Maggs. He gives off a very energetic and enthusiastic person, at least from Dulin's current perspective.
But he also knew very well that the reason why he felt like this was because the person standing next to him was Mags. If it had been someone else..., maybe he wouldn't be here at all.
Magus was the entry ticket into the empire's top political circles, which was why Dulin chose the Timamont family. Even the royal family was inferior to the Timamont family.
Kubal behaved very kindly and kindly towards Dulin, like an elder in the family. He even showed respect for Dulin in some small actions - he never patted Dulin on the shoulder during the whole process, and only patted him twice. arm.
This is a very well-educated nobleman. His power can be felt from his elegant and humorous conversation. This makes Dulin marvelously see his own shadow in Mr. Kubal. They are all so confident!
After introducing Kubal, Magus and Kubal walked away, leaving Dulin here to receive the guests. Of course, in order to ensure that Dulin would not be rude because he did not know the guests, Magus's sister also stayed behind. Here is Ophelia’s mother, Lady Leticia.
"Men always have endless energy and endless topics to talk about." Ms. Leticia is also very amiable. She looks younger than Mags, about fifty years old and well-maintained. very good.
After looking away from the two men, Ms. Leticia told Dulin in a low voice that Mags and Kubal were good friends who had known each other since childhood. They talked about almost everything, except for the few years in between. Fighting for Winica, Maggs' current wife, the two of them reduced their interactions, but maintained a very close relationship as always at other times.
Every class has its secrets. If you just set foot on a new class without integrating into it, it is impossible to know these secrets.
Who would have thought that Mags and Kubal were close friends. They respectively led the only two major political parties in the empire to fight to the death, but they themselves were indeed close friends.
Dulin was looking at Mags and Kubal. The two old men glanced at Dulin a few times. Mags finally had a smile on his face at this time. He didn't need to hide his inner fluctuations in front of Kubal.
After knowing each other for decades, some things cannot be hidden.
"You are very proud..." Kubal gave Magus a little sarcasm, "I can see that you are very proud now, and you are still showing off."
Mags chuckled a few times, "You must understand that an old man like me who has lost his power can find some mental balance through other means." He didn't wait for Kubal to continue to laugh at him and asked another question, " How about that chair? "
Kubal nodded happily, "It's great. After all, it was specially ordered by me. Do you know what those people offered? Five thousand yuan, just a chair, but I have to say that it was a lot of money." It’s worth it, at least it makes me sit there comfortably every day.”
Mags immediately realized something and asked, "Damn it, you won't throw away my chair, right? I've made that chair for more than 20 years. You can give it back to me if you don't want it!"
"Of course, of course, rest assured, my friend, I have sent the chair to your manor, including everything in your office."
On the first day that Kubal took office, he had all the things in the office packed and sent to Mags' manor outside the imperial capital. This had nothing to do with friendship. When a new leader of the ruling party came to power to preside over the politics of the empire, there must be something. Some new weather. Whether he cares about it or not, this is a necessary behavior.
He didn't do it for himself, but for his subordinates to see.
Even if someone can reach this point one day, he may not be able to act freely according to his own mind. He also needs to take into account the opinions of others, even if he is an imperial prime minister.
Kubal lit a cigarette and raised his chin, "You are very satisfied with him, I can see it, so can he survive the next eight years?"
Mags smiled slightly with satisfaction, "I believe he can survive not only eight years, but sixteen years. There are some people who look strong, and you only need to find his valve, and he will be finished."
"There are some people you can't understand. He is as powerful on the inside as on the outside. Nothing can defeat him, it will only make him more cunning." He sighed with emotion, "This is what I chose. young people."
"As I said, I want to choose a successor. Those little bastards in my family are not the material to take this path at all. Don't be complacent. Maybe I can beat you this time!", I have always been at a disadvantage. Kubal hated the "I won again" expression on Mags's face the most, and couldn't help but fight back.
Mags shook his head indifferently, with a childlike feeling, "That is your freedom, but I don't think it is possible."
Kubal laughed and cursed that he would never win against Mags once in his life. Whether it was career, love or family fortune, he would always lose to Mags. At first, he was very embarrassed and angry, and even wanted to break off the relationship with Mags.
But looking at the entire empire and the entire world, there is no one who can be Magus's opponent. This gap disappears and he is balanced.
You can't fight a target that you can't defeat, just like you can't compete with someone who is more of an asshole than you. You don't have as high an upper limit as others, and you can't have a lower limit like some people, so then Just be yourself.
The two talked and laughed for a while, before Kubal asked in a low voice, "When are you going to tell him about that matter? Or are you not going to let him know?"
When it came to business, Mags's expression became serious. He lowered his head and hesitated for a moment before sighing and saying, "Wait a minute..., now is not the time. That's a bastard, don't you know better? Isn't that right?" Before you can restrain the prerequisites for his behavior, it is best not to let him know something that he should not know yet, which will only make the whole thing get out of control. "
Kubal asked with a bit of pain, "So you plan to hide it from him forever?"
Magus sighed again, "I only hate that I am too old. If I were twenty years younger, I would be fearless..., and if it comes time to let him know, I will let him know." Yes, as for the outcome, it has nothing to do with me anyway.”
Dulin in the distance didn't know that just a moment ago he thought he had entered the top political ecosystem of the empire, but in fact, there was a higher class above him.
Not many people came to this wedding, but everyone was an important person, and one of them was not very eye-catching, the director of the Imperial Capital Social Services Bureau, Klein.
Under the operation of the two men, Dulin obtained the piece of land worth more than 1.4 million on the market for 1.2 million. It can be seen that Klein wanted to trick him out of Dulin in this way. The money he left was returned, and some more benefits were given to bridge the gap between the two.
Now that the new cabinet has been elected, there will be a major reshuffle in the officialdom of the entire empire in the next three months. This reshuffle does not include the purge of local legislators, mayors, and governors, but only the cadres of grassroots social organizations. of shuffling.
For example, Director Klein is within the scope of this reshuffle. The Imperial City Social Services Bureau does not seem to be a very important department, but in fact this department has more influence on the Imperial City than all other bureaus. Very important department.
After the mayor of Saint Nulin Fantiers takes office, he will definitely make all arrangements for this position. Regardless of whether Klein has his own ideas or not, he is on the list of people being excluded.
As long as the new mayor can find some reasonable enough reason to punish him, he will pack up and get out, such as he actually stepped into the office door with his left foot first.
In order to avoid being kicked out and then temporarily returning to the new party to hold an unimportant party position, it is better to show favor to the new mayor, which may not necessarily eliminate the possibility of staying.
He did not betray the New Party and join the Old Party, but in order to continue the New Party's control of power at all levels, he endured humiliation and went against his free will to work for the Old Party. Not only was he not at fault, but he had merit!
Dulin's wedding was his opportunity.
There were too many big shots attending the wedding. As long as he could connect one or two connections, he could keep his current position, even if he had to bear some responsibilities, such as selling the land in the orphanage to Du Lin at a very low price. Also acceptable.
If you can keep your current position, what's wrong with making some mistakes
What's wrong
Not to mention missing Klein, the others are all real big shots, including the Archbishop from Sunset City.
The church that people are talking about now is actually called the Church of Light, or the Holy Church of Light. However, there have always been many sects in the Church of Light, just like there are many parties in the empire as a whole.
Which sect has the upper hand in the internal faith struggle, the church will use that sect’s faith teachings as a title in its external propaganda.
For example, the Blood Sect, which has a history of "killing gods" in church records, was called the Blood God Sect back then. It was a terrifying sect that could swallow the blood of other species and gain the ability of species. However, it was a pity that it was lost to the Sect during the low tide. Other sects have become a thing of the past.
The most powerful sect in the church now is the sect that believes in the Lord of Heaven and Righteousness, so it is also called the Heavenly Orthodox Church, or the Lord of Heaven and Righteousness Church.
In the hierarchy of the church, the status of the archbishop is not as good as that of the cardinal. However, in the tradition of the church, the nature of the archbishop is equivalent to that of a prince, and he is the future pope.
Therefore, the church sent the archbishop here for Dulin's wedding this time, which shows that the church attaches great importance to this wedding.
