One Piece: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 352
In the main hall of the Xiaohe City Palace, the Prime Minister of the White Dragon Kingdom.

Civil and military officials gathered together, except for the high-ranking military officials who have always been at ease and are only loyal to Matsurize, His Majesty the King.

In the civil service system, officials from the six ministries are basically divided into three categories.

One category is the officials who support and follow Deputy Prime Minister Tam. This kind of people is very familiar. Basically, they are all able-bodied officers when Baritu was the prime minister, and now they have switched to Tam's sect.

The second type of people, of course, is Kazak, who is comparable to Tamm. No matter how clear he is, he has gathered a group of supporters.

The third type of people is even simpler. They are not optimistic about anyone, or they don’t want to be in a team, or they are vacillating, fearing that they will be in the wrong team and will be settled by the fall, so they simply maintain neutrality and do not help each other.

In the main hall, civil and military officials came in one after another. After everyone had fought together, even the titled General Hei Jiao, who had a deep background and superb military power, came, but there were still two who did not come.

Needless to say, in today's day, only the two of them dare to put on airs like this.

Like a tacit understanding, Kazak and Tam came hand in hand. They walked side by side, one on the left and one on the right, and came to the deepest part of the hall, under the throne.

In the Great Court Meeting of the White Dragon Kingdom, the positions of civil and military officials are only divided according to the rank of the official, and there is no distinction between civil and military.

Usually, they are headed by two titled generals, and a small trustee stands at the corners. In the previous great court meetings, they were just paddling.

This is also normal, the civil and military boundaries of the White Dragon Kingdom are very wide, without interfering with each other.

Moreover, the military officers of the White Dragon Kingdom, that is, generals with the rank of major general and above, are eligible to participate in the once-a-month Great Court Meeting.

And this is not all there is, there is no major event on weekdays, such as today's event, that is, the selection of the new prime minister, and the military attaches, that is, the generals, have only come for more than half.

Only once a year, the year-end court meeting that must be present, will all the talents come.

And the reason why civil and military divisions are so wide is that both sides can keep their distance in an orderly and conscious manner.

This is because His Majesty Matsurize, the king, is strict enough to take this aspect very seriously.

Of course, Mitsumatsu Rize will not be able to strictly enforce the discipline in this area. He implemented the policy of high salary and honesty, and used Bailey to solve many unsolvable things.

Then there are the military officers, that is, the generals. Song Lize gave them a lot of power. In fact, the separation of civil and military affairs is only a matter on the Songbai Island of the main island.

The military system of the White Dragon Kingdom is the best paid in all walks of life in the White Dragon Kingdom.

In the palace hall of Xiaohe City, the capital of the White Dragon Kingdom.

On weekdays, the prime minister, Baritu, stood alone at the forefront.

Of course, this is because the titled Admiral Hei Jiao in the military system and the titled Admiral Fujitora who was not present did not care about him, and did not ferment on this issue.

Today's Kazak and Tam, although they are bound to win the position of prime minister, they never dare to stand out like their predecessor Baritu.

Both of them stood at the front of the hall together in contrast to the position of the black dragon Spencer.

Tam smiled obsequiously at Hei Jiao. After all, Hei Jiao is not only the highest military officer and general in the current military system, but also the head of the country!

Who is Ayane? She is the first wife of Matsurizawa, the queen of the White Dragon Kingdom, the only woman of the current King Matsurizawa, and the biological mother and queen mother of all the princes and princesses of the royal family.

Spencer is a father and daughter, and even Tam, who is only one step away from the prime minister, has to take care of him.

After Kazak and Tam stood up in the hall, Matsurizawa came out with Ayane.

"Where are the chief of staff and commander?"

Immediately two people stood up from the ranks of officials in the main hall, they were Mellon and Abin.

Mellon is the Chief of Staff of the General Staff Department in the military system. He is also the only person who can be regarded as both civil and military. He is a big celebrity around His Majesty the King.

Not to mention Abin, who is closer to the royal family in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu dynasty? He is the commander of Longying, the only spy organization in the White Dragon Kingdom, and he has always served as the royal housekeeper. His son is also the commander of the guards in the palace, and his status is closer to His Majesty than Mellon's.

These two people were called out alone at the beginning of the court meeting. Combined with the rumors from the outside world, it was said that the two of them had been recording Kazak and Tam's every word and deed, every merit and deed. They decided, Who will be the prime minister today.

Now, it seems that this rumor has been confirmed.

That’s right, it’s impossible for His Majesty to come in person for this record, and it’s related to the position of Prime Minister after all. The person who records this must be of high status, and if he is not afraid of the senior officials of the Prime Minister, it is really too great for the two of them to jointly record. It couldn't be more appropriate.

"The two of you recorded the achievements of Kazak and Tamm throughout the whole process. The achievements in this major case and the achievements in the past, you two will talk about it separately."

Both Abin and Mellon are not aloof people, and they give in to each other, but in the end, Abin, who is more senior, takes the lead.

"Colleagues, Your Majesty ordered me to record it honestly.

The record is divided into two parts. One part is the big case that everyone knows that the former prime minister had no way to teach his children and indulged in indulgence. In this big case, Kazak..., Tam.....

The second part, that is, even the two of them don’t know, His Majesty asked me to investigate their past achievements, Kazak…………, Tam……………. "

Abin talked a lot, very detailed, and it was also Long Ying's ability. It was really overkill to investigate this bit of information.

Matsurizawa didn't say much about Abin's investigation results, but directly signaled Melon to come out and continue.

In fact, what Mellon said was not very different from what Abin said. It was also because Mellon and the others did not dare to cheat in front of Matsurize. go.

"This is just your two observations and records. Tell me about your optimism for the new prime minister."

Matsurize's words made Kazak and Tam so nervous. Could it be that this is about to end!

Abin and Mellon were not entangled with each other, as if no one was afraid of offending anyone, the two expressed their views one after another.

One person supports one person, one to one tie.

Then Matsurize asked the opinions of all the officials except the military attache and the two parties concerned, and they were in a counterbalanced situation again.

Just when everyone was getting more and more anxious, Matsurize used the name of the outgoing Prime Minister Baritu to say that he had a new view on the position of prime minister.

This is exactly Matsurizawa's long-planned plan to dismember the prime minister. That is to say, from now on, there will be no more prime ministers, and the highest level of civil servants will no longer be the prime minister, but two prime ministers, that is, the left side and the right side The two are in charge of the government together.
