Doomsday Code

Chapter 57 Political Maneuvers

The Executive Yuan gathers all the political elites of the kingdom. Their main job is to help the king deal with all the affairs of the kingdom, big and small. It can be said that this is the intellectual brain of the entire kingdom.

At this time, in the office of the Prime Minister of the Executive Yuan, Holmes slowly put down the document in his hand, and then he nodded to the palace guard beside him and said:

"Please report to your majesty that this matter is extremely serious. I will convene the Executive Yuan meeting immediately."

After hearing this, the guard who came to deliver the document said:

"Then please hurry up, Prime Minister and everyone else. His Majesty the King is still waiting for your opinions."

The guard nodded to the prime minister in front of him. Holmes was no fool to be able to sit in the prime minister's position. He immediately took out a mithril waist pendant from his waist and said:

"It's just a small gift, please accept it."

The guard accepted the priceless pendant without hesitation and left the Executive Yuan in a swagger.

Watching the guard go away, Holmes looked at his back and then laughed inexplicably.

The Prime Minister then turned his attention to the documents on the table.

"Jimmy."

Holmes shouted outside the office, and soon the office door was knocked, and Holmes let someone in.

I saw a shifty-looking old man pushing the door open with a sly smile on his face, and then asked in a flattering tone:

"I don't know why the Prime Minister asked me to come in. Don't worry, Prime Minister. As long as it is something in the capital, I, Jimmy, can do it for you beautifully."

Holmes smiled and said:

"I remember that you were recommended by Prince Jinmu. How come Prince Jinmu is so capable now that he can handle things that even I, the Prime Minister, can't handle?"

However, Homeis's words scared Jimmy half to death. The politics in the kingdom are now in a turbulent state.

The crown prince has not yet been decided, and each prince has his own opportunity. In the competition for the crown prince position, if one can get the support of this powerful prime minister, then it will be a big step closer to that position.

Jimmy was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and said in a crying tone:

"Damn you, little one. I've been talking nonsense in front of adults with my stinky mouth."

This guy slapped himself as he spoke, and after he finished his confession, Holmes came up to him and pretended to help him up, saying:

"I am just reminding you that there are some things that cannot be said casually. If your majesty hears them, it won't be a matter of just slapping yourself in the face."

Jimmy was scared half to death by Homeis, and cold sweat was breaking out on his back. At this moment, he had completely lost his arrogant attitude of guaranteeing your satisfaction.

Holmes nodded, then pointed to the document on the table and said:

"You still remember your job in the Executive Yuan, right? Bring me the paperwork. I need to convene an Executive Council."

At this time, Jimmy was like a good boy. He immediately took the order, picked up the paperwork and went down to prepare.

Seeing that Jimmy Holmes had stopped jumping around, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Flags are visible at the foot of the mountain, and drums and horns are heard on the top of the mountain. The enemy is surrounding us with thousands of troops, but I remain unmoved..."

Holmes hummed a tune as he headed towards the meeting room.

Jimmy, who was leaving, was also curious. He hadn't heard of any major events happening recently, but why did the prime minister convene the entire parliament?

Jimmy wanted to open the document and take a look, but when he thought of the warning Holmes had just given him, he became hesitant.

Finally, he caught a glimpse of some of the content when the document was handed over for copying, and after seeing the content, his thoughts changed.

He didn't expect that an alchemist would appear in the territory of the exiled Prince Huidun. This was the first time the kingdom had encountered such a situation in a hundred years.

And the information on it actually said that Prince Huidun survived the alchemist crisis and even killed the alchemist.

Although he didn't see the whole thing, what he saw was enough to shock him.

In their minds, alchemists have always been a taboo existence. They have not been seen for hundreds of years and have only been heard of in rumors. This undoubtedly deifies their abilities in people's minds.

And being able to kill the alchemist, Jimmy could no longer imagine how powerful Huidun was.

Jimmy was a little scared. If it were in the past, he would have informed his master, Prince Jinm, long ago. But when he thought of Holmes's murderous words just now, he hesitated again.

But in the end, interests overcame the fear of death, and this guy still found a way to pass on the information here.

But everything he did had already been guessed by Holmes, and Holmes had no intention of stopping him.

Holmes knew very well what he needed. He was already a high-ranking official. He was the most powerful person in the entire kingdom except for the king who stayed in the palace and indulged in pleasure.

In order to grasp this power, the politics within the entire kingdom must always maintain the status quo and be in balance.

That's why he asked Jimmy to pass the message on.

Because he knew that the king still cared about the little prince who was exiled to the frontier, and after this incident, the king would definitely make some kind of compensation to the little prince.

Therefore, the convening of this meeting was just a formality, and what he needed was for other princes to pay attention to this little prince so that the political ecological balance in the kingdom would not be broken.

The final result of the parliament naturally did not surprise Holmes. The Finance Ministry representative's self-willed attitude had already shown that financial support for the Huidun Territory was certain, and the construction rescue plan for the Huidun Territory was quickly approved.

Also because of Holmes's indulgence, this originally top-secret parliamentary proposal was sent to the desks of the princes before it was announced.

Homeis came to the palace with the final article, and the guards guarding the palace allowed the prime minister to enter the king's study after receiving the order.

Before he could bow, Moss XIII had already arrived in front of him and supported him, saying:

"I've already told you, Prime Minister, you don't need to perform formalities when you come to see me. Come, take a seat quickly."

"I don't dare."

Then Holmes bent down and handed the final clause in his hand to Moss XIII. After taking the clause, Moss XIII signed his name without even looking at it, and this clause immediately became legally effective.

By doing this, Moss XIII was also expressing his trust in him.

"I am terrified."

After seeing this situation, Holmes knelt down in front of Moss XIII, because he knew that as a monarch, the most important thing was the power in his hands, and when he was able to share power with others, the person who obtained the power would be close to death.

Although the king in front of him did not look like a monarch, as the prime minister, how could he not know that under the surface of unruly appearance, the king had a ruthless and determined heart of an emperor.

If he was a fool, then why would people like Mo Donik, who held great military and political power in an area, swear allegiance to him until death?

Why should the Prime Minister of the Executive Yuan, who is above everyone else and below everyone else, bow down to him?

This time, Moss XIII did not immediately help him up, but waited for a moment before saying:

"I've already told you that you don't need to kneel, and you have nothing to fear, my dear. I just trust you. That's it, I won't do that again next time."

Holmes said again in panic.

Moss XIII handed the document to Holmes, patted him on the shoulder and said:

"The State Council is in charge of a country's affairs, and it must be pure and selfless. Otherwise, what use would I have for it?"

"Hey, let's go down. I am a little tired too."

Holmes bowed and retreated.

When he left the palace, his entire back was wet. He thought he was going to die. He had even thought of many ways, even retiring and returning home.

However, in the end the king changed his mind and did not help him immediately. Instead, he told him the difference between the monarch and his subjects.

As long as the distinction between the monarch and his subjects exists, he can still sit in the position of prime minister.

He was not particularly afraid of the seemingly warning words that followed, because if the king really wanted to deal with him, he would not say these words in front of him.
