Veiling Government: Iver
"Then, Minister of Trade didn't respond anymore and sat down directly..."
Isabel stood in front of Iver's bed, racking his brains to remember like a student being asked questions by the teacher.
She tugged at the corner of her clothes with some embarrassment, as if she had returned to the time when she first started receiving teaching from Yanis.
"What else?"
Iver asked casually, "Do you think he is afraid?"
He was currently lying on a warm quilt, looking through the meeting minutes.
He stayed up all night last night to help Isabel with special training. When Isabel went to host Round Table Conference, he took the time to catch up on his sleep. Although I only slept for four or five hours, it was enough for the time being.
"He should be scared. I even felt like he was scared."
"Okay, I get it."
Iver raised the corners of his mouth slightly and wrote in another notebook with a pen, "Where is Mr. Mycroft?"
"Hermes Minister said that he will recruit a new batch of palace staff. I think what he said makes sense. Grandmother The people recruited during this period should also be replaced..."
Isabel responded uncertainly, "I'll just give you permission... is it okay?"
"No problem. Your judgment is very accurate, and this matter must be left to him, and he must keep an eye on it the whole time. Otherwise, there is a high chance that many eyes will get in - especially when you are so aggressive."
Iver said casually, "By the way, when he finishes this matter, we can give him a promotion. With his ability, it is a pity that he can only be Minister of Royal Affairs... Let him recommend another minister to replace him, and then give him the position of a powerful minister. Or you can also let him be a affairs officer."
"Also, stop standing, my Majesty... This makes me look so pitiful... Please sit down first."
Under Iver's dumbfounding advice, Isabel sat directly on the edge of Iver's bed.
Lily, who was standing quietly in the corner, came over and gave him a cup of tea.
Lily's sense of presence has become lower and lower now. Now she looks like a shadow when standing still, which is impossible to detect - but when needed, she will appear quietly and hand over what is needed. The royal servants who serve Isabel are definitely not as high-level as Lily.
Because of this, when Isabel came to find Iver, she did not bring her servant with her at all.
It just so happened that Iver couldn't let other people know that she was helping her make suggestions. This is the secret of Isabel.
Iver fell into thinking.
He still remembered that after he confirmed the talent of his brother Sherlock, he wrote down the name.
Mycroft Hermes obviously has wisdom and talent that surpasses most ministers and is even stronger than Sherlock, but on weekdays he is inconspicuous and completely inconspicuous. The daily code of conduct highlights the four major principles: "It's none of my business," "It's none of your business," "Hurry up," and "I want to get off work."
According to the fine tradition of Avalon, only those who find it useful should use it to death.
If Privy Council Minister is not difficult to replace, in fact, Mycroft can completely replace Privy Council Minister.
Iver hit Camelot Minister specifically to test his flexibility and confirm his attitude.
——Because according to the original plot, after Avalon destroyed the country and Isabel completed its restoration as a government-in-exile, the new Prosperous Flower Kingdom was called Camelot.
When Isabel returned to Avalon, which had been reduced to ruins, and was preparing to restore her country, one of the few local families who supported her was Camelot Family.
Iver vaguely remembers that Isabel Princess swore to marry himself to the country in a grand ceremony through Version 2.0 Theocracy and gained the powerful power to control nature. She also lost her fertility.
Therefore, in the narrow sense, Du Lac Family was already extinct at that time.
Camelot Family adopted their most talented heir to Isabel as their adopted daughter, becoming the only Princess of the Camelot kingdom. Iver doesn't know what happened in the middle, but in the end Avalon Kingdom became the Camelot kingdom.
When Iver first met his history tutor Professor Bard, he asked about this matter in a roundabout way. But obviously Professor Bard doesn't know this secret... or maybe what he said is right. Galahad, Camelot Family's ancestor, is indeed not Lancelot's illegitimate son. Camelot Family adopted the heir to Isabel just because the two families were on good terms. This was just Iver's preconception.
——But no matter what, the result is Avalon turned into Camelot.
This makes Iver naturally a little hostile to the Camelot Family - maybe they have done nothing wrong now, and that incident happened in the future of another world line that will not happen now. Even they are one of the few Prince chamber faction who are willing to support Isabel when she has not shown her ability to restore the country...
But emotionally, Iver will still be wary of them.
Now it seems that the old man is indeed a loyal minister.
"There is no need to remain distant from Camelot Minister in the future," Iver warned, "Of course, you still have to be cautious - you cannot show your true self in front of him. As for Mycroft..."
Iver fell into deep thought.
Isabel suggested. "What is the location of Privy Council Vice President?"
Speaker Privy Council is Camelot Minister. The members in Privy Council are called "advisors" and are mainly responsible for helping the monarch handle political affairs.
Although Round Table Hall is very similar to the British Parliament, it is essentially different. The biggest difference is that the monarch has real power.
In most cases, the monarch will not participate in the Round Table Hall meetings.
After all, there are a lot of idle people in the Round Table Hall, and they can't wait to hold a meeting once a day to discuss some boring proposals that won't get through for more than half a year. Queen How can I have the time and energy to accompany them to quarrel every day?
At this time, Knight Commander of the Round Table Hall or Grand Arbitrator or Grand Justice carries Monarch's Sword into the Round Table Hall - that is, the dagger hanging on the wall of Queen's bedroom and the sister sword in Hai Na's body. And when this sword arrived at the Round Table Hall, it was like Queen coming in person.
This generation of the Knight Commander of the Round Table Hall is Grand Guardian. And Grand Arbitrator is Meg, or Ligeia. Both of them don't like meetings. Sometimes Ligeia will sit in but won't say anything. And when none of them want to go, Grand Justice has to host it.
Round Table Hall's discussion was just a statement. All the final proposals discussed and voted on must be sorted out by Privy Council's consultants, written in accordance with formal procedures, and finally submitted to Queen along with the meeting minutes and Privy Council's annotated suggestions. Then Queen is responsible for signing to confirm or reject the motion.
——The biggest difference is that the monarch has a veto power. And it can be used frequently.
From this perspective, Privy Council can also be understood as the secretarial team of Queen. It is equivalent to the cabinet.
If the monarch is also regarded as a political officer, Privy Council is the administrative officer belonging to the monarch. Camelot Minister's status is equivalent to that of the prime minister, and the status of the deputy speaker is equivalent to that of the deputy prime minister. Although he usually keeps a low profile, there is no doubt that he is someone who can influence the entire Avalon.
"Yes," Iver nodded slowly, "He is absolutely reliable and loyal to you. It is not easy to appoint ministers. After all, one comes up and one comes down. But the service officer is easy to serve.
"First of all, remember to disband Privy Council during the Queen Sophia period. Only retain the speaker, and then bring in Mycroft. Let him and Camelot Minister discuss the new Privy Council quota...
"Then there is no need to relinquish his position as Minister of Royal Affairs for the time being. Let him do two jobs first. After he finds a replacement, you can try to transfer him to Minister of the National Seal. Or you can keep the position of Minister of Royal Affairs."
Minister of the National Seal, like Minister of Everything, has had three monarchs without appointments. Currently, Grand Justice is responsible for it.
As the name suggests, Minister of the National Seal is the holder of the national seal and is responsible for keeping the national seal and drafting and issuing various important government documents and decrees.
"Hey, my Majesty..."
Seeing Isabel quietly listening to Iver's command in the bedroom, Ligeia leaned in the corner of the bedroom and sighed.
In other words, Iver is trustworthy, otherwise this picture would look weird.
At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from a painting behind her and patted her shoulder gently.
After Ligeia looked over, the hand made a "come out" gesture.
Ligeia understood and walked out quietly.
