Go to the west palace and see the side hall.

"On the approaching day of this year in another half month, the Government Affairs Office has made a budget for activities, including citizen parades, theater festivals, open-air markets..." Huggins glanced at Todd who was absent-minded, and asked in a low voice: " Your Majesty, Your Majesty? Are you listening?"

　　 Todd opened his eyes wide, and said hurriedly: "Well, I'm listening, I'm listening."

　　 Hudgens turned his attention back to the report: "The budget is divided into three parts. The biggest expenditure is the salary of manpower. Regarding this expenditure, the Department of State Affairs recommends that you can..."

　　 "Huggins, have you ever had an intimate relationship with a woman in your consciousness?"

　　 Hudgens' report came to an abrupt end. He raised his head with difficulty, looked at Todd with a serious face, and smiled reluctantly: "Your Majesty, I don't quite understand what you mean."

　　 Todd pointed his head with a finger: "Consciousness, consciousness, understand? It's not a relationship with a woman in the real world."

　　 Hudgens put down the report in his hand and thought about it carefully: "It's like a dream?"

　　 "It's a bit like, but not exactly." Todd himself was a little confused: "It's more real than a dream, and I remember everything when I wake up."

　　 Huggins said affirmatively: "I have had this experience."

　　 Todd's eyes lit up: "Really?!"

　　 "Well, when I was young, I had **** with women in my consciousness every day. Sometimes it was one, sometimes it was a group."

　　 Hearing what the other party said, Todd's eyes twitched and he almost lost his breath: "I don't think we are talking about the same thing, you are called obscenity..."

　　 Speaking of topics that interest him, Hudgens began to talk endlessly: "I have good characters, lines, plots and costumes in my mind, even postures..."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Todd reached out his hand to stop the other person, thought for a while, and reorganized the language and said: "Perhaps I didn't make it clear. Know everything clearly."

　　 Hudgens was stunned.

　　 "Your Majesty, what do you mean... both sides know what happened?"

　　 Todd nodded.

　　 Harkins took a breath: "Your Majesty, believe me, this is definitely not a good thing. After waking up from the dream, if the two sides meet, it will definitely be extremely embarrassing."

　　 Todd leaned against the back of the chair and sighed: "Yes, this is what I worry about."

　　 Hudgens took a careful look at Todd: "Your Majesty, if this happens, I think the key lies in the relationship between the two and their attitudes."

　　 Todd sits up straight: "Talk about it."

　　 "If both parties are lovers, then there is nothing wrong with them."

　　 Todd asked, "But what if the relationship between the two is not clear?"

　　 "Uncertainty?" Hudgens swallowed, "Then I can take the liberty to ask, who took the initiative?"

　　 Todd first concealed his embarrassment with a cough, and then replied in a low voice: "It was the woman who took the initiative."

Huggins glanced at the king, touched the beard on his chin and said: "Then it will be easy, just find a chance to ask in person. Generally speaking, as long as the woman takes the initiative, it means that the other party has a good impression. ."

　　 Todd put his fist on his chin and nodded thoughtfully.

　　 After exposing the topic, Huggins returned to the subject. He read the report on hand, folded the page waiting for approval and placed it in front of the king, and picked up another report on the table.

　　 Todd looked at the thick pile of papers in front of his scalp with a numb scalp, and asked Huggins, "How many documents are still waiting to be processed today?"

　　 The latter turned his body sideways, revealing an official document about twenty centimeters thick on the wooden platform behind him.

　　 Todd rubbed his temples with his hands: "There is so much more?!"

　　 Hudgens moved away again, and Todd only found desperately at this time that there were several stacks of papers neatly stacked on the ground.

　　Looking at Todd closing his eyes in pain, Hudgens said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you have been out for a few months. The entire kingdom has a lot of government documents that you need to review."

　　 Todd squinted at him: "If I remember correctly, hasn't Emerson been appointed the chief privy officer of the kingdom? He can completely review these government documents on his behalf."

Huggins smiled bitterly and said to the king: "Because of Lord Emerson as the Secret Officer of the Kingdom, there are only more than a hundred official documents in front of you. Without him, the government documents that urgently need to be handled by you are enough to remove this The rooms are full."

　　 Todd sighed deeply and resignedly opened the budget application report before him. He just glanced at the lengthy forms and complicated data inside, and he completely lost interest and closed the report again.

　　 "The notice goes on, and a meeting will be held in the royal garden of the palace the day after tomorrow, and all officials above the rank of minister of the kingdom's government affairs department are required to be present."

　　 Hudgens wrote down the agenda in his notebook and confirmed to Todd: "Okay, Your Majesty, then what are the theme of the meeting and the discussion agenda?"

　　 "You don't need to say too much, just tell all the participants that there is only one topic for the meeting-discussing the future of the kingdom."

　　 Two days later in the morning, the warm winter sun brought a rare heat to the earth, and the thin layer of snow on the ground reflected the dazzling light.

　　 The attendants and maids of the palace arranged tables and chairs in the center of the royal garden, propped up the shed, and put all kinds of fruits and snacks.

Standing next to the marble sculpture, Cumberland changed into a rare formal dress, sipped the honey in the cup, and said to Emerson beside him: "Why is your Majesty holding this meeting in the garden? Shouldn’t it be done in heaven in the past?"

　　 Emerson shrugged, took a bite of the cheese that the servants brought, and then put it down with a frown.

　　 Terrence and Ulysses stood together. The former frowned and looked at Wayne, who was alone not far away, and asked the latter: "Why is he here?"

　　 "Your Majesty intends to integrate the kingdom's alien associations and set up a special alien government affairs department. Lord Rachel is the chief officer and Wayne Dunlop is the second officer." Ulysses said.

Looking at Wayne, who had a dull expression and could not even say hello, Terrence shook his head: "He is an excellent scholar, but not a qualified person in charge. In the words of His Majesty, his empathy is low. It's worrying."

　　 Ulysses approached Terrence and said in a low voice, "I heard that Wayne has found a group of people who volunteered to participate in the soul experiment through lobbying."

　　 "How is this possible? He has found a volunteer in less than a month?"

　　 "It seems that he borrowed the name of religion to convince many dying people who were seriously ill to believe in his words."

　　 "Does your majesty know about this?"

　　 "I should know, but there doesn't seem to be any action."

　　 Terrence waved his hand upset: "Let him go. Since your majesty didn't stop it, why should I jump out?"

　　In the other corner of the garden, Hudgens with a cane stared at the couple in front of him, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty is generous, and gave you two a chance to commit crimes. I hope you won't make the same mistakes again."

　　 Mrs. Raglan nodded and said, "We both understand the truth. The reason for such mistakes in the past lies in greed. From now on, we promise that such mistakes will not be made again!"

　　Mr. Raglan looked at Huggins and said sincerely: "In fact, the commission that your Majesty promised us is enough to keep us from worrying about food and clothing for a lifetime. We don't have to take risks at all, alas..."

　　 Hudgens was waiting to say something more, when the waiter's shout came from a distance.

　　 "Your Majesty, come!"

　　 Todd, dressed in fine linen and purple satin, walked out of the gate of the palace. Accompanied by his attendants, he walked around the venue and exchanged a few words with everyone.

　　 After some greetings, Todd invited all the participants to their seats. Then he asked Huggins next to him: "Are everyone here?"

The latter bowed and replied: "Brynhild, the commander of the Knights of the North Island, returned to the North Island to mediate the civil strife at the request of the kingdom; Lord Rachel, went out and did not return. In addition to these two, the others All attend."

　　 Todd nodded, sat on the front seat, and signaled that the meeting had officially started.

"Perhaps you are wondering why this meeting is held here?" Todd, who was sitting in the main seat, took the pomegranate juice from the maid, and said to everyone: "Because what we are going to discuss today is related to the kingdom. In the future, so solemnly, I will put it here."

　　 Everyone in the audience began to talk quietly, and everyone was trying to guess what the king said about the future of the kingdom.

　　 There is no intention to circumscribe at all, Todd said directly: "I intend to form the cabinet of the Muxi Kingdom."

　　 Regarding the fresh words in your Majesty’s mouth, when others were still at a loss, Emerson was the first to ask: "Your Majesty, what is a cabinet?"

　　 "The cabinet is an organization formed by the chiefs of many government departments in the kingdom." Todd tapped the handrail with his fingers and looked around all the officials around: "In other words, the members of the cabinet are all of you here."

　　 Emerson continued to ask: "There is already a government affairs office and a privy council in the kingdom. Is this cabinet different from them?"

Todd smiled and said: "This is a good question. The City Council is the executive department of the kingdom's government affairs, and the Privy Council is the consulting department responsible for assisting the king in handling affairs. In a sense, the cabinet is the decision-making department of kingdom affairs. "

　　 Terrence's beard trembled slightly. From Todd's mouth, he heard a key word-decision.

　　 Todd continued to explain: "The cabinet has a prime minister, presides over the cabinet meeting, oversees the kingdom's government affairs, has the power to ask the king to appoint and remove cabinet members and directly appoint and remove senior officials, and is responsible for formulating and implementing the country's major internal and external policies."

　　 Emerson opened his mouth incredibly: "Overall the kingdom's government affairs? Appointment and dismissal of senior officials?! Your Majesty, this is..."

　　 Todd reached out and interrupted him: "Yes, the cabinet has acquired part of the king's power in disguise, but it also avoids the mistakes that autocratic centralization may cause."

After a pause, Todd said again: "Furthermore, the power of the cabinet is not unlimited. Its existence is restricted by the royal power. The king still retains the following five powers, namely: the power to appoint and remove the prime minister, and to pardon arbitrary The power of one person to commit crimes, the power to declare war on the forces of another country, the power to sign and amend laws, and the power to invoke the kingdom’s army and law enforcement agencies.”

　　 Cumberland nodded as he listened, and finally asked: "Your Majesty~lightnovelpub.net~ Then how did you determine the prime minister of this cabinet?"

Todd recalled it in his mind and found that the current situation of the Muxi Kingdom is special, and there is really no way to copy the experience of the previous life, so he flexibly said: "The prime minister of the first cabinet will be appointed by me for a two-year term. Two. After the end of the year, a vote will be held in the cabinet, and the person who gets more than half of the votes will be the new prime minister. If no one has more than half of the votes, the prime minister will still be appointed by the king. Any one can only serve as prime minister for two consecutive terms. The third term shall not be a candidate to participate in the election of the prime minister."

　　 Everyone sounds a bit complicated at first, but thinking about it carefully, they can still understand the rules.

　　 Todd cast his eyes on Emerson: "Do you remember our first meeting?"

　　 The latter nodded with emotion.

"There is no perfect soul in the world, and naturally there is no perfect king. Every decision made by a person with the highest authority has a personal subjective preference and emotional color. That kind of impeccable, wise and wise judge It can only appear in novels and dramas. This is also my original intention and reason for setting up a cabinet." Todd got up from his seat and walked to the middle of the crowd: "I hope everyone can stand together. Gather your wisdom and abilities to make Muxi Kingdom the most dazzling jewel in the world."

　　 The encouraged officials stood up one after another, and everyone's face was full of excitement and excitement. Amidst the cheers and oaths of the crowd, Todd walked up to the old man who was once the Earl of Silver Ring, grabbed the other's hand, and said sincerely: "Now, I announce that the first cabinet prime minister will be the Secret Officer of the Kingdom. Emerson is here."...
