Flowers, Swords and France

Soon after meeting the king, it seemed that he had despaired of the situation and realized it. The Duke of Dalmatia, Soult, submitted his resignation very readily, and then His Majesty the King did not try to retain him, but directly approved it. Therefore, the head of the French cabinet was quickly replaced, and the prime minister's residence was also quickly replaced.

He was still very powerful a while ago, but he had to move out of the residence not long after. Politics is so unpredictable. Moreover, the traces of the former prime minister in the residence disappeared completely within a few days under the deliberate rearrangement of his successor. Even the staff never mentioned him in their conversations, as if the man had never existed at all - out of a necessary caution, people were justified in doing so.

The essence of the power transfer was thus revealed without reservation in the superficial phenomenon of "people leave and tea gets cold".

At this moment, the new Prime Minister of the Kingdom of France did not have so many feelings. He sat in the newly replaced chair in the Prime Minister's Office with endless joy, savoring the joy of winning and the pleasure of holding power.

It is this small office, this small desk, and the piles of documents on the desk that will directly determine a country of 30 million people, shock a continent of 200 million people, and affect a world of more than one billion people.

He picked up a few pages of documents and flipped through them.

Many people think that the leader of a country must control everything in detail, but this is not the case.

Whether in the East or the West, in any system of the country, the higher the level of the statesman, the simpler the documents they have to read, because their time is very limited, but there are too many things to decide. Therefore, the documents presented to them are carefully selected and summarized by people, with the purpose of allowing them to make a decision in the shortest time: yes or no?

Of course, in important matters that determine the survival and well-being of the country, they will not be so careless-but how many such matters are there?

Therefore, the quality of these officials who are responsible for excerpting and summarizing (different titles in different countries and different times, but essentially the same) largely determines the results of the leaders' governance. What leaders can see is usually what these officials give them.

People usually find it difficult to understand one thing - a national leader who looks very smart and has a good heart, why does he make stupid decisions and disappoint people when he governs? This is the reason.

After two hundred years of efforts by Bourbon monarchs, revolutionary leaders, emperors and other rulers, France has now established a bureaucratic machine with hundreds of thousands of people throughout the kingdom to implement the will of the central government, and let the capital Paris override any other place in the kingdom. No local lords or feudal lords will have the strength to jump out and challenge this entire set of ruling machines.

Now, this machine has a new fucker.

It feels... very good, indescribably good. The new prime minister took a deep breath again.

But now, it's time to get down to business. Since you have worked hard to grab the position, you should keep it well.

He gently shook the bell rope on the table.

The door opened quickly, and the secretary came in with a flattering smile - this was the confidant brought by the new prime minister. He was also getting familiar with his new position, and he seemed to be able to adapt to his new position very well.

"How long have Mr. Duchard and his friends been waiting?" the prime minister asked softly.

"The minister and his friends have been here for about half an hour." The secretary replied respectfully.

"Bring them in." The prime minister gave the order directly.

"Yes." The secretary bowed and saluted, then retreated.

The new prime minister closed his eyes slightly and felt the beauty of power again.

He had to wait for half an hour to see me and could not complain - and just a few days ago, everyone was still a colleague.

……………………

After the two people who came in saluted, the prime minister did not say any nonsense, but just nodded.

"Mr. Duchart, I will fulfill my promise. You will be rewarded for your help to me. Your position will be retained in the new cabinet reorganization. I hope that you can continue to make new achievements in this important position in the future..."

"Thank you so much! Your Excellency!" The short and fat minister smiled and thanked him, looking vulgar and mediocre. But no one here will be fooled by this look. "I will definitely cooperate with your next arrangements!"

The Prime Minister smiled and nodded.

Then he looked at the young man with a pale and stiff face behind the minister with interest.

"Are you Mr. Kong Ze?"

Kong Ze nodded respectfully. "Yes, Your Excellency."

To be honest, under his wooden expression, he actually concealed a little uneasiness. Although the minister did not fully explain Kong Ze's investigation to the new prime minister in order to protect him, the big man now only knew that "Kong Ze was ordered by the prime minister to investigate him" and did not know how far he had gone, but this alone was enough to make him a little scared.

Fortunately, the Prime Minister's expression was much more relaxed than expected.

"I have heard Mr. Duchat praise you before, and I have also checked some records about you during this period..." He paused deliberately, "This is enough for me to judge that you are a very good detective."

"Thank you."

"You have never accepted Mr. Soult's order and wanted to conduct a secret investigation on me. This is not your fault... Moreover, you were smart enough to promptly confess Mr. Soult's dishonorable and dishonorable behavior. Reasonable arrangement, so I don’t intend to blame you.”

After a pause, the Prime Minister spoke again, "However, I hope you can serve the new cabinet with the same enthusiasm as before. Can you do it?"

Kongze stood up straight and put his feet together.

"I will work harder than before to serve you and the dynasty!"

"Very good." The Prime Minister nodded in approval. "I hope you will not just talk, but show your determination with actions."

"Yes!" Kong Ze straightened his body.

"Previously, your mission was to track down those conspirators who were detrimental to the kingdom, but later due to Mr. Soult's interference, you had to change the direction for a while, right?" the Prime Minister asked again.

"Yes."

"Then, Mr. Kong Ze, let me tell you clearly that your current task is to continue the work that was interrupted before." The Prime Minister looked at Kong Ze, "I hope you can continue your efforts, make more achievements, and capture More and bigger rebels to protect the security of the dynasty."

"yes."

Then, the Prime Minister took out the letter of appointment that the former Prime Minister was about to sign, and then looked at Kong Ze with amusement in his eyes. "This is the prize Mr. Soult promised you before, as long as you find out all the people on my side?"

"Yes..." Kong Ze's answer was hesitant this time.

"It doesn't matter. I said I won't take it to heart." Seeing the other party's hesitation, the Prime Minister smiled instead. "I can promise you that as long as you do a good job and achieve enough results, I will sign this letter of appointment. You don't have to worry. We will not be stingy with those who have merit."

"Yes!" Kong Ze responded again. Although his voice was not loud, it could make people feel the enthusiasm and passion in it.

"Okay, you go out first, the minister and I have something to talk about."

"Okay." Kong Ze responded, then turned and left the office.

Deep down in his heart, Kong Ze is very clear that although the new Prime Minister is currently very kind to him, he will probably always remember one fact - Mr. Kong Ze once accepted Sirte's assignment and secretly investigated himself.

Since this boss has been driven away by him, and the boss's position has now been replaced by him as he wished, he is now obviously in a state of great success and contentment. When people are in this state, they are usually very generous and reasonable.

But it won't take long for the big man to recover from this state of excitement. If he still remembers this matter at that time, it will obviously be extremely detrimental to him - what if he wants to take revenge? To him it was just a small joke, but to him it might be a fatal blow.

So, how can we make him "forget"?

After much thought, Kong Ze could only think of relying on his performance to speak for himself - as long as he can show his irreplaceable importance and execution ability, then the new prime minister should be able to accept it even if there are some "historical stains".

No, it is definitely acceptable. A politician will not hate a person who is covered in mud, but will only hate a person who is covered in mud and incompetent.

After walking out of the office, he made up his mind to try his best to win the favor of his new owner.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but think of the scene he saw that night, the big shots filing out of the Foreign Secretary's living room. He really longs to be one of them one day, to be able to become a big shot of this level, no matter how much time it takes and no matter how high the price is, he will not hesitate to do so.

The guests that night, every person, every face, every name, slowly flowed through his heart, making him unforgettable.

Including those two young men.

No, especially those two young men. Those two young men were so young that it made people jealous.

For some reason, he was very concerned about the two young men he saw that night. Of course, he now knows that the other party is likely to be the nephew of Duke Treville, a well-known former politician. And this Duke is now obviously a political ally of the Prime Minister, and he cannot easily offend him. object

But he didn't know whether it was out of intuition or something else, but he still cared about these two people very much. Maybe it was because their expressions and movements were a little strange at that time? Or is it because of something else?

Can't tell.

Forget it, now is not the time to care about them, it is more important to catch those rebels to please the new master. Kong Ze shook his head slightly and returned to the waiting room under the guidance of his secretary.
