Chapter 469 The position system of the palace secretary!

Liangmu turned his face away, and the man who appeared in front of him was about 40 to 50 years old, with a combination of vices and very shrewd facial features.

The whole person is thin and looks very energetic.

Wearing the exclusive uniform of the Imperial Household Secretary, there are few wrinkles on his face, only the corners of his eyes are more obvious, but overall, he doesn't look old.

On the contrary, there is a unique charm of a successful man.

"Mr. Mitsuki Hosaki."

Liang Mu subconsciously turned his body sideways to get out of the way in front of the opponent, which was a subconscious act of showing weakness.

Regarding Hosaki Mitsuki, there are many rumors circulating outside.

In Shimizu District Shrine, the priestess and the palace secretary are two different positions, just like the subject and the king. No matter how powerful the 'subject' (witch) is, they must always submit to the 'king' (the palace secretary) .

Of course, in reality, it may not be as outrageous as in feudal society. The relationship between the two is not a real "monarch and minister" relationship, but a relationship between a superior and a subordinate.

But Miko, as the name suggests, is a position that only women can do.

The palace secretary is not limited to gender, and the choice of the palace secretary is not an inheritance system. Rather, there are clear regulations in the shrine. When the palace secretary decides to retire, he can marry and have children, but the palace secretary The heirs of the palace usually do not appear on the candidate list of the palace secretary.

At least three generations of close relatives will not appear. Of course, occasionally due to the excellence of the heirs of the palace secretary, the regulations will be relaxed appropriately.

However, as far as the current establishment history of the Shimizu Shrine is concerned, there is no son who has succeeded his father's position and continued to serve as the palace secretary.

On the contrary, there are cases where the grandson inherits the position of the grandfather and becomes the palace secretary.

But even in that case, there will be an 'outsider' in the middle, because marriage is not allowed during the term of the palace secretary, so naturally it is impossible to have children.

So when Grandpa Miyauchi retired, his son and grandson were not even born, so he chose someone else to serve.

Later, after the grandson was born, after being personally contacted by the current palace secretary at the time, he finally became a candidate for the palace secretary, and took over the position from the then current palace secretary.

In a disguised form, he inherited his grandfather's position.

However, the situation of the palace secretary in that session was quite special. The palace secretary who inherited the position of grandfather was quite talented. There were many outrageous rumors outside. Some said that he was born with the ability to communicate with elves, and some said that all elves They all voluntarily assisted him, and some said he was a symbol of the "trainer" group, alone, connecting the two races of "human" and "elf".

The reason why the Mr. Miyauchi who was hundreds of years ago is mentioned here.

That's because almost the same thing happened to this year's Miyazaki.

The man who appeared in front of Yoshiki, Hosaki Mitsuki, is said to be the reincarnation of that person, with the same power as him, and his situation is very similar to that of the Miyazaki, he inherited the position of grandfather, Become the Imperial Household Secretary.

For ordinary people, the conditions to become a palace secretary are quite harsh.

It is necessary to undergo a series of training and selection at the shrine in Shimizu District. During this period, there will be many eliminated, but in the end there will be ten candidates left. These ten candidates and the real Miyauchi are in the same position system.

Every candidate has its own 'rank'. Among the ten candidates, the earliest to reach the 'tenth rank' and receive the support of one-third of Qingshui District on the day of becoming a full-time candidate can become a real palace secretary.

The 'rank' of the palace secretary candidates is usually determined based on their 'performance'.

That is, helping people and showing up in various events.

Generally speaking, when a candidate becomes a full-time candidate, the original palace secretary will retire.

This is not a rule, but a matter of letting nature take its course. The position of the palace secretary can indeed bring a lot of convenience to people, but to put it bluntly, it actually has no social status, and is just the leader of a group of 'real charities'.

The Palace Secretary will summarize the wishes from the people below and the troubles encountered in the near future, select the real ones that may endanger people's health and life, and then classify them into tasks. According to the estimated degree of difficulty, they will be awarded to In the hands of 'Household Secretary Candidate' and 'Miko'.

In general, the shrines in Shimizu District, as a single force independent of the elf alliance, the Miyauchiji here are also different from the Miyauchiji in normal shrines.

It is difficult to become a palace secretary, and you will hardly receive any bonuses later, all of which are selfless contributions to society (at least on the surface).

So under normal circumstances, the palace secretary would be eager to see a qualified candidate as soon as possible to inherit his position.

There will never be any phenomenon of unwillingness to abdicate like the emperor.

The palace secretary is not a long-term career. According to visual inspection, the person who has served as the palace secretary for the longest time in history is only 30 years.

Moreover, the other party wanted to abdicate many times, but it was only due to the fact that there were no suitable talents at that time, coupled with the requests of the witches and the people, that made him nearly twenty later than expected when he ascended the throne. Year abdicated.

And this one who is also legendary is Mitsuki Hosaki's grandfather, Mr. Yuta Nagao.

When Hosaki Mitsuki was a child, he was on the Miyauchi division, showing a talent beyond ordinary people. The person who happened to bring him up was his grandfather.

The grandfather who used to be the palace secretary soon understood his grandson's talent and trained him to be the palace secretary.

So when he became an adult, he joined the candidates for the previous palace secretary, and after only a few months, he stood out from the candidates and became a new candidate for the palace secretary.

As for the candidates who became the palace secretary in the same session as him, after nearly ten years of hard work, they are still striving towards their respective goals.

However, judging from their current 'performance', in the next two years, the position of palace secretary in Qingshui District should be turbulent very, very quickly.

Because the progress of several palace officials is similar, it is very likely to appear. The new palace secretary here has only been known for a few months, and the next candidate for the palace secretary will soon meet the qualifications. In the hands of the secretary, take over the post.

This kind of relay behavior, visually estimated that at least about five reincarnations.

However, wanting to become a Miyauchiji is not a joke. In addition to their respective performances, it also depends on whether the people of Qingshui District support qualified candidates.

Therefore, there should also be unpopular palace secretary candidates.

In this situation, it should be the worst. He has only two choices, empty his "performance" and start over, trying to gain public recognition for his actions, or pack up and go home. After so many years of hard work It's a waste of water, and he won't be able to become a palace secretary in the future.

Therefore, almost all unpopular palace secretary candidates will choose to start again, because going home at this juncture not only negates all their past efforts, but also loses their own goals and shakes them. Returning to normal life, they are just walking dead with lost souls.
