Everyone looked at Mengyao.
"Prince Leo is a good fit." Mengyao said lightly.
But the speaker raised his eyebrows and said with disdain, "he is not willing to manage his own industry. How can he be willing to participate in the internal affairs..."
A minister continued, "he has been idle all the time. Does he understand the internal affairs?"
There was a lot of discussion.
"Don't you remember the chaos of Issa?" Meng Yao cleared her throat and said.
The cabinet ministers looked at each other but said nothing.
Issa was once the first love of the former king. She planned a coup in the palace, which led to the most tragic scene in the kingdom of jehosha, and even led the current king and queen to exile overseas. The cabinet ministers at the meeting were still young people at that time, but they had just entered the official career, and they only heard about it.
"Do you know who is responsible for this incident?" Mengyao asked softly.
"Daru." The prime minister said without thinking.
"Yes, thanks to Daru. He's Prince Leo's uncle." Meng Yao said softly, "Leo was the second most meritorious person in the peace and order, and he entered the cabinet at this time, making a great contribution to the stability of the situation after the peace and order. Then he went back to the office of foreign affairs, where he was responsible for diplomacy with Eastern Europe. "
Many people here are not impressed by Leo's past achievements, but when Meng Yao talked about it, they did not dare to oppose it directly, but the speaker was not willing to fail. "But Prince Leo has retired for so many years, and has not been in touch with political work, let alone political affairs. If he is really allowed to join the cabinet, can he be competent?"
Meng Yao raised her eyebrows and said lightly, "according to the regulations, the crown prince's spouse can participate in political affairs. Because of this, Leo retired for many years."
"As we all know, Prince Leo and princess are only married for half a year or so," retorted the speaker with some ridicule. "Little princess, the reason you are looking for is too far fetched."
Meng Yao's expression is light, "he proposed to my mother for the first time more than 20 years ago, that is, from that moment on, he prepared to become the crown prince."
No one can deny her words. After all, when Luna married Leo, some people had known her for more than 20 years, and finally they became a couple. The story spread widely in Yosha.
The speaker did not give up and said, "if people are idle, where are they willing to work again. Besides, it's really hard to say whether Prince Leo is really competent in the face of trivial political affairs every day. "
"The speaker thinks too much." Mengyao's voice was faint and alienated. "After Prince Leo retired, the king once arranged for him to teach my mother the history and Chinese culture of jehosha. Over the years, whenever my mother encountered political difficulties, she would consult him. In other words, he was not only my mother's husband, but also her arm and nameless military. Even if I encounter something that I can't make up my mind or have doubts, I will consult him. In my opinion, his talent and broad mind can absolutely be competent as a cabinet minister. "
When she said that, the speaker could not refute it.
"It's time to vote on whether Prince Leo will be admitted to the cabinet." Mengyao raised her voice and raised her right hand. She scanned the crowd.
The ministers looked at each other, but no one refused.
Mengyao looked at them, eyes light, "since you do not agree, is there a better candidate?"
The ministers were silent. The people of the king of jehosha were very good. In this way, Leo was very suitable.
Slowly one of the ministers raised his hand. "I'm for it."
Then another minister slowly raised his hand.
With Mengyao's one vote, it's already three votes. It's only one vote short of passing. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Jason, with some indifference, but there was a deep meaning in her words, "prime minister, just now you want to add an interior minister. Why do you think it's unnecessary now?"
This is a slap in the face. Just now, Prime Minister Jason and the speaker jointly wanted to get Prince Kak into the interior office. Now if he doesn't agree with Prince Leo's entry into the cabinet, he will let everyone know that he is close to Prince Kak. He knew that his future was the most important, and he could not leave any handle to his political opponents, so he reluctantly raised his right hand.
At present, four people have agreed, and Mengyao's proposal for Prince Leo to enter the cabinet has been basically settled. Those who could enter the cabinet were very smart. The other two ministers looked at each other and immediately seconded. When the speaker saw that everyone agreed, there was no point in opposing any more, and he could only raise his hand in a friendly way.
Originally, it was an elaborate plot, but Mengyao blocked it with her own strength, and finally let Prince Leo successfully enter the cabinet, laying a solid foundation for her future departure.
When Mengyao told the news to Leo, he had a slight self mockery of his usual lightness, "it seems that I can't live such a leisurely life any more." In fact, when he decided to let go to help Luna, he knew that sooner or later he would be exposed to political affairs."Isn't that what you want to see?" Mengyao raised her eyebrows and looked at him.
Mrs. Leo looked at her helplessly and joked: "Mengyao, how can I say I'm also your stepfather? Can't you speak more implicitly?"
Mengyao laughed, "you are not the kind of reserved person, how do you have to listen to that kind of affectation."
After several months of getting along, she knows Leo better and knows that he prefers direct personality. Although he is always light, he seems not to care about anything, but she has her own ideas in her heart. And his leadership and vision are very much admired by her.
Leo laughed. "How can you have the same temper as your mother?" Talking about Luna, he lowered his head a little, but later he let it go. After all, to really love someone is not to possess, but to fulfill her happiness. He sighed, "I've done it myself, and I've taken it!" How nice to be an idle person. For the sake of the woman you love, you have to step into the muddy water of politics.
"It just gives you a chance to play to your strengths." Mengyao laughs. If he goes on like this, it's a waste of his vision and wisdom.
Leo has some bitterness in his heart.
"I feel guilty for your reluctance." Mengyao said.
"Do you feel guilty, too?" But Leo joked, "I think you'd like me to be in the cabinet earlier, and you'd better get out of the internal affairs as soon as possible..."
Mengyao felt a little embarrassed, but did not deny this, "or you know me."
"You should call me dad, right?" Leo was joking.
Meng Yao laughed awkwardly, then joked, "forget it. I don't want to call you old. How can you marry a wife in the future?"
Now Leo is a little embarrassed.
"By the way, what's the progress of my uncle's affairs? When can he announce his identity?" Mengyao's voice is low.
"It's going to be a while longer," Leo said.
"How long will it take?" Mengyao asked softly. Every time he asked him, he didn't give a correct answer.
Leo light smile, "now they have begun to move, you are still afraid of him to continue to hibernate?"
Mengyao's brow is locked. After thinking about it, it's the same reason. Now let's wait for them to move!
Leo didn't speak, just laughed. He has always been used to simple and clear, since he wants to do the best, since he wants to help Luna lift the eternal crisis, he will go all out to sweep away the obstacles to the crown prince's position, and eliminate all the hidden dangers.
"Since my uncle and my mother are twins, do they look alike?" Mengyao asked curiously.
"They are not so much alike, but your uncle's daughter looks like you and is about your age." Leo said.
Mengyao was stunned. She was in a good mood at the thought of having a sister who looked like her. She asked with a smile, "is it true? When can I see her? "
"It's going to be a while longer." Leo said.
How is such a sentence ah, Mengyao then let go, she knew in her heart, eventually will meet.
After Mengyao had dealt with her internal affairs, she went to the palace for dinner. There are many things to do today. She is a little later than usual. When she arrives, she will see that in addition to the king and queen, even the kakes are there.
Prince Kak was a little fat. He talked with the king all over the dinner. He exaggerated his words and repeatedly talked about how he did charitable things. There were many flaws in his words. Mengyao could not help laughing.
Blarney didn't feel anything and was happy to add for his father.
While Mrs. Anna on one side was obviously used to his rudeness. She didn't turn the topic away, but sat there quietly.
But the queen seemed a little impatient. She changed the subject, looked at Mrs. Anna and asked softly, "is Britney's wedding settled?"
"It's settled. By the end of this year." Mrs. Anna is different from Prince chuck. She is very humble.
On one side, Britney did not speak, with a happy face. Looking at Mengyao's eyes, she was a little proud. She was the only child, and Batu was the only child. Their marriage was not a matter between two people, but a joint effort of two families. And she is very inadvertently heard the dialogue between Jason and his father, just know that his father has now begun to compete for the crown prince, she is very happy. If she succeeds, she will become crown prince or even queen.
At the thought of this, Britney was very excited.
