I'm a big boss in Uncle Jiu's world

"Can Arthur really become Aquaman?"

After a while, Atlanna led Vico out of the Crystal Palace, turned to look at the young man lying on the table in the palace reading a book, and murmured.

Vico said: "If there is anyone in this world who can become the King of the Sea, then this person can only be Arthur."

"I don't understand where your confidence in him comes from." Atlanna said seriously: "He is just a child."

"Queen, your understanding of him is far less than my understanding of him. At least you don't know now that this child has the ability to kill me." Vico said.

Atlanna: "..."

She wanted to say how it was possible, but Vico had never lied in front of her.

"You've had a rough political time lately, haven't you?" Vico said instead.

Atlanna nodded: "Most local officials are only loyal to the ruling party. They listen to whoever is in power, instead of staying close to me and hugging each other for warmth."

"It's better to be still than to move."

Vico said: "Loyalty to the winner is the best way to protect yourself. Unless you promise huge profits, no one will bet at this time. Why doesn't the king stop you from doing this? It's because he knows this very well. result."

Atlanna hesitated: "Don't you have any better ideas?"

Vico shook his head: "If you don't break it, you won't build it."

Atlanna let out a long breath: "In that case, don't leave. Come with me to ring the bell in the political hall."

Vico silently clenched his fists: "Okay."

"Dang, Dang, Dang..."

When the bells rang out in the splendid political hall, the first person to be alarmed was King Ovax.

At the same time, a guard quickly came to the Golden Palace and reported: "Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Queen took Vico to ring the bronze bell in the political hall."

A feeling of irritation suddenly rose in Ovax's heart, and he murmured: "What is this woman going to do?"

The guard knelt down on one knee and buried his head deeply, motionless like a sculpture, for fear that he would make some noise and arouse the king's anger.

He had long heard that since the Queen brought His Highness back to the Kingdom, the King has become moody...

The bells of the council hall quickly spread throughout the city-state, and the ministers living in the city-state walked out of their homes and government offices, using various means of transportation to the direction of the palace.

Just an hour later, hundreds of officials gathered in the council hall. Under the Queen's gaze, no one dared to whisper to each other, and even made little eye contact, silently standing where they should stand.

The king was the first to hear the bell, but the last to enter. As soon as he crossed the threshold, his eyes were on the queen's face, and he said in a solemn voice: "Why are you ringing the bell?"

Atlanna said in a deep voice: "I have something to announce."

Ovacs: "Now that everyone is almost here, you can speak."

"I plan to implement an official recommendation system in the country." Atlanna said bluntly without arguing with him too much: "After the recommendation system is passed, officials can recruit their own subordinates and only need to report to the Civil Service Commission. "

These words were like a nuclear bomb-level torpedo. In an instant, the brains of all the senior officials and the king Ovax went blank, and their mouths opened wide unconsciously.

Don't blame them for being so out of control, the news is really shocking.

I have never seen a queen who betrayed her authority, until now...

"Are you crazy?"

Orvax was the first to come to his senses and yelled at Atlanna with an angry face.

All kindness and power come from above and are the cornerstone for rulers to rule their subjects.

If this recommendation system is successfully implemented and the official appointment does not come from the national system but from the high-ranking official himself, who will respect the royal power?

Atlanna said calmly: "I just think that many talents who are not proficient in exams should not be buried in the gravel."

"I don't allow it," Ovacs said seriously.

Atlanna said: "Perhaps you should ask my subordinates for their opinions."

Ovax turned to look at the officials, and immediately found that both the king and the queen officials were all looking at him with burning eyes. At this moment, they seemed to have become a whole.

'Oops! ’ Ovax’s hair stood on end instantly, and waves of fear surged in his heart.

It is true that the officials of the king's family are loyal to him, but everyone's first loyalty is always to themselves.

The queen's betrayal of the royal power was undoubtedly a cut of flesh for them; and her unwillingness to sell the royal power invisibly became a roadblock for them.

The king has become a stumbling block for the king's officials. This is ironic no matter how you look at it.

"Queen, do you want to divide the country?"

Ovax had no choice but to turn a blind eye to the gazes of these ministers and focus on Atlanna.

During the years when Atlanna left the kingdom, was it because he couldn't find her?

No, he didn't look for it at all during those years. At that time, he was busy consolidating his power.

It would be best to wait until he has mastered the power of the entire kingdom before the other party comes back. That would be in line with his wishes.

But he didn't expect that Atlanna would be brought back early by Vico, so the former king's old men who were originally shaken spontaneously gathered around each other, becoming a serious problem for him.

Now, he is the king and the ruler of the kingdom. If he loses the right to appoint officials, what else can he do to govern?

Atlanna is trying to force herself to her level. To this end, they even hesitate to cause turmoil in the country.

My heart is so broken!

"I have never thought of splitting the country. Please don't charge me with such a crime, King."

The Queen shook her head and said: "I think a policy, whether it is good or not, should be discussed and discussed. A person may be paranoid and walk into a dead end. It is impossible for everyone to be so paranoid that they have to break through the wall to figure it out. Everyone , is there anyone who opposes the recommendation system?”

The crowd was silent.

In the past, the officials of the king's family who had opposed the queen were silent now.

If the power of the king is compromised and the power of ministers is strengthened, no official will come forward to oppose his own class except the true saints.

It is a pity that there are no saints in this chamber.

"I object." Ovacs glanced at the ministers and said sternly: "Whoever agrees, please stand up."

Seeing him choosing people to devour, none of the ministers dared to say a word, not even the officials from the Queen's family dared to mess with him at this time.

After all, Ovacs is the ruling king, with an army in his hands, not a paper tiger who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

It's just that... this resolution was suppressed by him with the authority of the king, but the bad impact it caused was beyond his control.

After the meeting, when the news about the recommendation system spread to the entire city-state through hundreds of officials, countless nobles, officers, and ministers were filled with excitement.

Ovacs tried to comfort him, but found that comforting had little effect.

No matter how much he conceded, he could not concede as much as Atlanna. The king's family with him as the core gradually lost its cohesion. Some close associates even suggested that he agree to the queen's request.

promise?

If he agrees to this ridiculous request, he will eventually end up with the kingdom!

Ovacs suffered psychological breakdowns time and time again in the desperation. Each time he collapsed, his hatred for the bastard increased.

He knew very well that regardless of who came up with this vicious plan, there must be some reason for that bastard.

Otherwise, why hasn't Atlanna made this claim before?

He thought that what he was going to face was how to kill the opponent; he never thought that this bastard's counterattack would be so vicious and fierce that he could hardly withstand it...

Half a month later.

Under his iron-fisted suppression, the voices about the recommendation system gradually disappeared.

It’s not that no one has said it, it’s that no one dares to say it.

For more than ten days, many officials who were jumping up and down have been dealt with. This is the king's attitude.

After calming down the storm, Ovacs turned his attention to the Crystal Palace.

So in the next two days, news about the Golden Trident began to appear in the kingdom, and the news was even detailed to the general location.

So in the early morning of the third day, Ovacs rang the bronze bell of the council hall and summoned all the officials.

This time, it was the king standing on the steps symbolizing royal power, and the queen standing opposite him, attacking and defending the throne.

"Have you all heard about the sacred object?" When all the officials arrived, Ovax asked in a deep voice.

"I heard they are from the Haigou Clan?" an official asked.

Ovax nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, it is said to be in the Guizhayan Mountain of the Haigou Clan."

"It's just a rumor. It cannot be confirmed and cannot be believed." Atlanna said in a deep voice.

Ovax suddenly looked into her eyes: "It's groundless, what if it's true? What if someone went to Guizhayan Mountain and brought out the Golden Trident?"

Atlanna sneered and said: "If that's true, it's a good thing. I heard that the place where the first king left the golden trident is guarded by the deep sea monster Karason. The opponent can defeat Karason and get the trident. We just need to take the trident back from him."

"The Queen's thinking is too simple." Ovacs said: "The Trident has the power to command the ocean. Once it is obtained by others, even if our countries join forces, we may not be able to compete with it. Therefore, the Trident must not fall into the hands of others." Other people’s hands.”

"That's right." A minister said: "What's even worse is that if the other party obtains the allegiance of Karason while getting the trident, it will be nothing less than a disaster for us."

Atlanna keenly sensed something was wrong, looked around, and finally locked on the king: "What do you mean?"

"I would rather believe that it exists than not believe that it doesn't exist." Ovacs said: "I think we must send a treasure hunting team to go to the Trench Clan to seize the trident."

Atlanna now guessed the other party's plan and said, "I don't agree."

"If we miss the Golden Trident because of you, can you bear the responsibility?" Ovacs said sternly.

Atlanna pointed to the crown on her head and said: "If it is because of me that our country misses the Trident, I am willing to take off the crown on my head and become a commoner."

Ovax shook his head and said: "If this really happens, let alone taking off your crown, even if you are cut into pieces, it will not make up for the loss of the kingdom."

Atlanna's heart was filled with confusion, but she also knew that what he said was the truth: "What is your plan?"

Ovax said in a deep voice: "The Golden Trident only recognizes the blood of the first generation king, and in our Atlantis, only you and your son have the purest blood. Therefore, either you lead the team, or your son leads the team." We can go together as a team, or you, mother and son, can go together."

"Absurd." Atlanna rebuked loudly: "It's just a rumor and you want us to take risks?"

"Yes." Ovacs admitted directly and said loudly: "Because we cannot afford the consequences of disbelief."

Atlanna stared at him, and he stared at each other, and the two refused to give in to each other.

"Let's vote." A minister suddenly said.

Ovacs nodded and said, "If you agree to go and see the truth, please raise your hands."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire King's Department and even some Neutral Departments raised their palms. Gradually, more and more Neutral Department officials raised their hands.

Atlanna was a little helpless.

The golden trident is indeed an artifact that the people of Atlantis cannot refuse.

No Atlantean could tolerate the trident falling into the hands of outsiders.

Soon after, the meeting ended, and Atlanna walked alone in front of the Crystal Palace for a long time, never daring to go in.

She cannot leave the kingdom. Once she leaves, the authority belonging to the queen will be stolen by the king.

It's easy to let go, but hard to take back.

But if she didn't go, it would mean letting Arthur take risks.

Between Arthur and Orm, all neutrals will not accept letting Orm take risks.

"You've made eleven turns."

At this time, Qin Yao, who was looking at the geographical map of the sea area in the main hall, suddenly raised his head and said to the outside of the main hall.

Atlanna took a deep breath and walked in slowly: "Arthur, there is bad news..."

"I guessed it, just tell me." Qin Yao said.

Atlanna gritted her teeth and said: "There are traces of the Trident from the Trench Clan. People from the King and Neutral families are inclined to let you lead the team to find the Trident."

Qin Yao looked surprised and asked: "Where is the rumored Trident in the Haigou Clan?"

"Ghost Eye Mountain." Atlanna said.

Qin Yao: "..."

He thought he had changed the plot of the original work, resulting in a magical plot change, which led to the accidental exposure of the location of the Golden Trident.

I didn't expect it was just a conspiracy.

The real trident is not in Guizhayan Mountain at all, but in the sea in the center of the earth of the Haigou tribe!

However, he knew all this but could not tell it.

Pretending to be a prophet in front of Atlanna is not a good idea.

Looking at Arthur who was silent, Atlanna said cruelly: "I'll go with you!"

Qin Yao came back to his senses and shook his head: "You can't leave the kingdom, otherwise the great situation we created will be lost soon."

Atlanna said: "But I can't watch you take risks alone."

Qin Yao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Atlanna smiled bitterly and said, "How can I feel relieved?"

Seeing her helpless and sad look, Qin Yao hesitated for a moment, took out the space bag from his arms, and summoned Five Elements Luo Geng: "Maybe it's time for me to show you my strength."

Although she heard what Vico said, Queen Atlanna still has no intuitive idea of ​​her eldest son's strength... (End of this chapter)
