The next day, the major newspapers of the Empire reported the news. The picture showed that Turin put his arm around Ophelia and dried out their engagement ring. It also reported the surprises in the engagement ceremony. People had to marvel that Turin''s romance was based on money.


    In an entertainment program in the evening, the host also used this topic to analyze the engagement ceremony, which is called the most romantic love, how much money it takes to be romantic.


    After a professional accountant''s quotation, people finally got a frightening figure, at least more than 300000, just an engagement ceremony.


    Considering that the invited people are all upper class figures in society, the food and drinks displayed at the buffet before the engagement ceremony need almost 100000.


    Then there are those very famous "voices", which cost at least 5000 yuan, and more may cost more than 20000. For example, the first baritone in the Empire. Plus other messy things, 300000 is only the lowest expenditure.


    The host did not forget to make fun of it in the program. The word romance may be equated with wealth from today on. Without money, there is no romance that can make everyone jealous, and it is impossible to have a prince charming out of his dream, unless the prince is Turin.


    The storm of the engagement ceremony has even spread abroad, and most people have positive comments on it, but there are always a few people who think it is extravagance and waste and showing off their wealth. Fortunately, such arguments are always only a few. After all, this is a world where the rich dominate the society, and people''s respect and fear of wealth are still common.


    For these comments, Dooling doesn''t care at all. When a person does anything, he can''t take care of everyone''s emotions. If he wants to take care of everyone''s emotions, he just doesn''t do anything.


    Even doing nothing will make people dissatisfied, because they are still trying, but you are lazy.


    In the afternoon, Doolin went to his rightful "Uncle MARGES". As for why it was in the afternoon, there was a legitimate reason.


    On the evening of the engagement, Turin and Ophelia were finally able to synchronize in the spiritual frequency. Sometimes the frequency would be a little faster, and sometimes a little slower. Ophelia, who shared the same frequency with others for the first time in her life, did not fully adapt and needed to be taken care of, so in the morning, Turin took care of the woman who would become his wife until the afternoon.


    He went to see Maggs because he felt that there were still many unsolved mysteries bothering him in the Empire, including things he had been speculating about, such as whether there was a real situation between Maggs and bowworth, why bowworth was still the party whip, but Harry was out, which were all very important things.


    You know, margus will retire in more than a year and three months.


    "Did you notice it?", if MARGES doesn''t have official business in the afternoon, he will read books and documents in his study. This is an old man who reveres knowledge. Maybe this is why he is the prime minister.


    He asked the housekeeper to send a pot of green tea. After they sat down, they closed the door. Maggs took a teacup but didn''t drink a sip. What was he thinking about.


    After a while, he sighed and decided to talk to Turin more deeply, "I said to you last time, this is not the best time, do you remember?"


    Dooling nodded. "Yes, I remember that. You asked me to run again in the next general election." he paused and asked, "is it because you want to retire?"


    "Part of it is because of this, but the other part..." he hesitated and didn''t know whether to talk to Turin, but after careful thinking, he felt that it didn''t make much sense to say it or not. Moreover, Turin was also his own person. If he didn''t say hiding now, he would inevitably feel that he didn''t trust him enough and damaged the delicate relationship between them, So go ahead.


    He sighed again, "after I retire, kubar... That is, kubar will become the imperial Prime Minister..." this is definitely a huge bomb. Kubar is the leader of the old party. If kubar comes to power in this general election, it means that the ruling period of the old party will come.


    As we all know, the old party has been rubbed on the ground by the new party for more than 20 years, and the scope of influence of the old party is constantly shrinking. Some people even think that the old party will eventually withdraw from the historical stage. But now durin clearly heard MARGES tell him that the old party was going to be in power. His first idea was absurd. This was false news.


    The old party''s votes have always been pressed by the new party. The reduction of the sphere of influence means fewer votes. Then why can the old party be in power?


    But soon he realized that this was not a fake, because magus told him that these people must have some way to control the votes, or even by cheating!


    This also makes Dooling a little egg pain. If there are fraud in such things, is it possible that he will face such a situation when he wants to run for prime minister in the future?


    Looking at Du Lin''s face changing color, Maggs is a little proud. This little bastard is like born to know everything and understand everything, which makes him feel a little scary. But now look at his helpless appearance, Maggs is still very relieved. At least he is a normal person.


    He took a sip of the tea in the cup and smiled twice. He knew what Turin was going to ask, so before Turin asked, he said the answer. This is also the tacit understanding and synchronization between smart people and smart people at the level of wisdom. People like Henry will never experience this pleasure.


    "After I retire, poworth will be the leader of the new party, the chairman of the new Party committee will remain unchanged, and vice chairman dolly will take the post of Party whip, so I told you, it''s best to wait, but you have your idea.", margus glanced at Turin a little gloating, and Turin''s eyes became a little deep.


    This is really not the best time, or even the worst time!


    When the old party came to power, the main resources of the whole society must be in the hands of the members of the old party. If you want to do well in office, it is absolutely impossible to rely on the policy preference and resource allocation of the cabinet. You can only rely on your own efforts.


    What''s more troublesome is that poworth, who represents the "populist", will come to power. This man has attacked Dooling and targeted him more than once before. No matter what purpose he used to do this, it will become unimportant after he took office. What happened in the past will become a signal, a trouble signal.


    Bowers doesn''t like Turing. Naturally, a large number of Bowers followers will embarrass Turing when necessary to ensure the correctness of the political line.


    Even if poworth has no prejudice against Turin, he will not withdraw what he has done and his views. The position of a party leader can not swing. Even if he has done wrong, he should stick to it to maintain his authority in the party.


    The next eight years will indeed be a troublesome time for the old party and the populists.


    Durin was thinking all the time, and margus didn''t bother him. He quietly got up and walked to the desk. He put on his reading glasses and read a book. Some things speak out to improve Turin, far less than what Turin wants to understand, and some of these changes point directly to the core of politics, which needs Turin''s own understanding.


    About forty minutes later, Dooling suddenly picked up the cup and drank a sip of tea. He shook his head, sat back on the sofa and looked at the ceiling.


    Margus lowered his head, looked through the gap between the spectacle frame and his forehead at Turin, then put down the book, "do you understand?"


    Durin nodded fiercely, "I understand!"


    Margus laughed twice. "Tell me, see if you think it''s right."


    Du Lin smiled bitterly and sighed, "contradiction, harmony!"


    Only two words are enough to make a huge change in MARGES'' eyes. He really wants to understand. Maybe this is why he always likes Turin. This young man''s sensitivity to politics is so terrible that many people may not understand what''s going on here, but it took this young man less than an hour to find the core of the problem, This intuition is frightening!


    "Over the past 20 years, the groups that have ruled the Empire have always been dominated by aristocrats. Although the new party has given more channels and opportunities for civilians to rise under your leadership, you are the representative of the great aristocracy. For nearly 30 years, people have been talking about the new era and new society, but so far there has been no leader of the civilian class."


    "The populists within the new party have bred a lot of grievances. I heard that they have a saying that they are free elements excluded from the core group. These grievances will always erupt after 30 years of precipitation. At the same time, they also need to meet the understanding and recognition of the ''new'' by more ordinary people in society, so poworth must come to power."


    "But Bowers knows too little about the Empire. He can''t rule the Empire like an aristocrat for hundreds of years or thousands of years. He lacks a lot of necessary conditions and accumulation. Over the past 30 years, his mood and reason are gradually extreme in repression. If the new party continues to be in power, Bowers may do some terrible things, such as..."


    "Wash the noble!"


    "So you''re going to retire, ease the contradictions and differences between the populists and aristocrats in the new party, make boworth a leader, determine that the political line of the new party is always implemented, and determine the correct political line for you to overthrow the royal rule."


    "The old party will be in power again to ensure that poworth will no longer make an extreme impact on the Empire, causing serious consequences, and spend the next eight years smoothly..."
