Kulbar is not surprised that Dooling can appear here. With Dooling''s status and reputation, it is normal for someone to inform. Moreover, these things have not been kept confidential.
Kubal was just stunned for a moment. He turned around, closed the door, went to the hospital bed, looked at Maggs staring at the ceiling, and felt a little dejected.
Ophelia called her uncle very kindly. The relationship between kubar and margus was well known among the great nobles. They were a pair of very good friends. They went in two directions only because of their different "ideas".
In business, they are enemies, but in private, they are good friends. Such a clear distinction between public and private really attracts the attention of many people.
That''s why some people really believe such nonsense. Of course, most of the time, people will feel that it''s just society and seems a little simple. It''s not stupid. They don''t cheat fools.
Dooling also took the initiative to reach out and respectfully shouted "Uncle kubar" after Ophelia. His face was a little thick, but it worked.
Kubal was deeply frightened by the experience of MARGES. What he was frightened about was not that MARGES was attacked, not that he was seriously injured, but his age. He became such a fragile body just because he fell. All this made him angry and frightened.
No one can be strong enough to give in to the years. No matter the gods who once ruled the world omnipotent in the book, or the sages and great men since written records, these people have finally turned into a handful of loess. Maybe now they can''t even find their bones.
Man, after all, is going to die. No matter what he has experienced and what kind of wealth he has, he will die.
Everyone knows this. As long as people are still alive, they can''t escape the threat of death, but everyone wants to avoid it to the greatest extent. No one purely wants to die.
In many cases, people subconsciously ignore the matter of years and death. Part of the reason may be that they are still young and have many years to live, so they don''t care about the threat of death.
Another part of the reason is the pressure of life and work, which makes many people who should start to consider these problems have no time to think about these life and death problems because they are busy.
But this thing doesn''t really exist if you don''t think or think.
Kubal never considered that he was really old before the accident of MARGES. It seemed that he had not been many years since he died. He always felt that death was a very distant thing.
But now, he felt, felt the strong smell of despair emitted by death!
Last night, he asked the housekeeper to order the workers to knock off the floor tiles of all bathrooms, toilets, washrooms... All rooms that may have water. Those exquisite floor tiles with gold, silver and precious stones as beautiful and valuable were smashed like waste, pulled out one by one and then thrown into the garbage.
All the floors should be anti-skid and waterproof according to kubar''s requirements, which will make those floors ugly and uneven, but he doesn''t care.
Compared with living well and healthily, this little problem is no longer a problem for him. If the carpet is not soaked, it will be a little slippery. He wants to put a carpet in the bathroom!
All this is the credit of MARGES. It is his experience that makes him start to face up to these things, including his own death.
The reserved Ruth held out her hand and shook hands with Turin without any trace. He didn''t care about Turin''s intimate address. Their relationship should be like this. He always regarded MARGES''s family as his own family. Of course, his family was also MARGES''s family. They were originally a family without blood relationship.
"When I heard the bad news, I immediately put down my work and rushed over. The doctor was not here, and I didn''t know uncle MARGES''s condition..." Turin immediately began to talk about MARGES''s problem, which made kubar feel a lot more comfortable.
No matter whether people feel it or not when they get old, in fact, some changes have taken place in their mood, character and temper, including their way of thinking.
In the past, kubar only thought it was a normal inquiry, but today, he suddenly felt that Turin was very concerned about margus. He was a good child who knew to respect his elders. The words of poverty made him unable to express the meaning of "filial piety". This is not kubar''s problem alone, but everyone''s problem.
The two went outside the ward to talk for a while, and then returned to the room to discuss these situations outside. They didn''t want to disturb MARGES. He already knew his situation, but it''s not interesting to hear his condition repeatedly, especially when he can''t express it through behavior and action.
Having learned about some of the problems and difficulties encountered by margus, durin said that whenever he can be used, kubar must inform him.
Kubal patted Turin on the shoulder, and the two returned to the room together.
Margus was still lying face up, one eye closed and the other open. Kubar was curious and asked, "did he close this eye himself?"
He is very concerned about this problem. Even if there is a way to express it clearly, he can decide a lot of things.
People often think that "yes" and "no", "right" and "wrong" are not complete expressions, but these two groups of expressions are enough to express the results of logical judgment, so it only needs kubar or others to say something, and margus can answer many things by closing his eyes or not.
However, it''s a pity that this is not what MARGES can do by herself. Ophelia whispered apologetically, "I see my uncle. His eyes are always open. I think he will be tired, so I asked him to close one eye and rest with another eye after a period of time."
Kubal raised his eyebrows, smiled and said nothing, but the disappointment on his face was a mere word.
Durin and Ophelia left immediately. When kubal came, he must have a lot to say to Maggs, so they didn''t bother here and took the initiative to leave.
As soon as they left, kubar closed the door, and the forced smile on his face solidified quickly, and then broke with a click.
He tore his tie very uneducated, sat by the bed and sighed a little tired, "the big prince''s hand is too long. He is speeding up to win over the middle and low-level members of the new party while you are ill, and the old party has also been affected."
"He has a great appetite. No matter who nods, he can join his imperial party. This is a very bad phenomenon. Once he completes the system composition of the whole organization in a short time, he will start the next step."
"He promised many benefits to others. Some words sounded so shocking that he couldn''t say anything, but he said it because he didn''t have anything now!"
"When he has the ability to pay those people, he has obtained a matching status and strength. I don''t think he is a bad child, but it''s obvious that he is."
"I very much hope you can get better as soon as possible. Only in this way can we stabilize the situation. What''s more terrible is that the rose Knights fell directly to the big prince. We lost a goal first!"
There were seven seats in the small room where everyone knew who each other was, but there were absolutely no faces. Now Maggs fell down and there were only six people left.
Among the six people, the rose Knights have fallen to the big prince, and kubar is a single party. In other words, if kubar doesn''t want to lose, he must win two of them on his side as soon as possible.
But for the great prince, he only needs to win over one more person, and he won''t lose anyway.
Moreover, once an absolute advantage is formed, it is easy to produce a snowball effect. When they are finally forced to make a choice, they will choose the most secure decision, that is, to take refuge in the great prince.
This is the most significant difference between business and politics. In business behavior, people only look at the return rate, which is a necessary and key factor. As long as the return rate is high enough, no matter how big the risk is, someone will bet!
But if the rate of return is pitiful and the risk is small, it may not be that someone will invest in this project, because the rate of return is too small and there are risks. This is not a win-win business, which means that even if there is only one percent risk, there is a possibility of losing.
Since there is a possibility of losing, why not choose the project with the highest rate of return?
Politics is different. Politics pays attention to stability. Maybe there are times of thunder, but more often they maintain stability. It is difficult for people who often put all their eggs in one basket to make great achievements in officialdom.
On this stage watched by the whole world, as long as we can ensure that there are no bad changes, we have won, so we are willing to win or not lose.
When the "potential" of the great prince accumulates to a certain extent, in order to ensure that their own interests are not lost, those people will also fall into the camp of the great prince.
In their view, this is like a simple addition and subtraction method. First remove some unnecessary people and make power more highly concentrated in the hands of a few people, and then they unite to restrict the continuous expansion and perfection of the great prince!
The power status has been unprecedentedly promoted again, and there is no possibility of failure, so why not?
Once this effect is formed, it is difficult to recover even if MARGES recovers immediately.
Now kubal''s first task is to restore margus as soon as possible. The second is to find out who put his hand on margus and who the main messenger was in celiville as soon as possible. The third is to maintain the balance of the power of members of the top Parliament.
Yes, the invisible basement has a completely opposite name. It''s called "top Council"!
"The Grand Prince made some small remarks last night. He thought that your current body was no longer suitable for continuing to work. He suggested that you should remove your position and reserve only six seats on the parliament..." he rubbed his temples and relieved his headache a little, "Someone told me the news. Although those people didn''t talk about their ideas, I think... They should be excited."
"After all, seven people have far less power and stability than six people.
When he heard this, margus was suddenly excited. His body kept bouncing on the hospital bed, his upper and lower lips closed tightly, and his arms bounced and waved rigidly.
Kubal didn''t call the doctor in a panic like the last time, but observed calmly and carefully. He couldn''t bear to look at the struggling MARGES, and his brain was boiling.
Suddenly, a wisp of smoke rose from the top of his head and his brain was ripe. "You mean, you can''t let them do this?"
This sentence seemed to have great magic. Margus immediately stopped and lay quietly on the bed. The tense muscles on his face also eased.
Seeing this, kubal suddenly stood up and walked back and forth for several steps. Magus''s ability to express "yes" and "no" means that he can handle some things. No matter what his current situation is, no one dare to disobey him as long as he is still alive, even the Grand Prince.
Even... Two emperors!
With this idea, kubar was almost excited to call others, but soon he calmed down again. It didn''t do any harm.
This also means that if Maggs can''t recover, that position will always be suspended. Even if Maggs recovers in the future, they will also suspend that position.
Habit is a powerful force. People are used to no one in that chair, so even margus, whose influence declined to the limit because of illness many years ago, can''t change these people''s ideas.
The only thing we should do is to select a person to sit up and occupy that position as soon as possible!
He looked at margus and said softly, "I know it''s painful, but we are facing some difficult choices. Even if we prevent those people from occupying your position and power, the longer you stay here, the less they care."
"Until the end, you are like those booty hanging in the room, just a symbol, and they won''t let you go back there."
"Now, what we need to do is find out your successor, occupy that position first, and then consider the next thing. What do you think?"
"If you agree, keep calm. If you disagree, do something to let me know..."
With that, kubar raised his wrist and looked at his watch. "You have five minutes to think about it. If you don''t object in five minutes, I''ll take it as if you agree."
Five minutes passed quickly. When everyone didn''t feel it, they had missed more than half a minute.
"Well, I see what you think, old man. I knew we were thinking the same, so do you have any good suggestions for this candidate?" kubar finally smiled for the first time several days after MARGES was attacked, and he shrugged his shoulders easily, "Let me guess, what about Dooling? Last time I said we were going to introduce him into parliament."
Although MARGES'' behavior ability was limited, his thinking ability was not affected. When he heard kubar put forward the name of Turin, his first reaction was to refuse.
The young man has great ambition and sophisticated skills. It is not a good thing to introduce him into the top parliament too early.
This allows him to learn more about the rulers and the real face of the Empire. When he has not learned to fear and respect, his first thought is recklessness!
Originally, margus planned to introduce Turin to the top parliament when he was 35 to 40. After about ten years, it was enough to smooth out his sharp edges and corners and make him more mature and introverted.
That kind of Dulin is a "perfect" Dulin, not a defective product.
But he stopped thinking about moving again, because he suddenly remembered that those people were going to kick him out!!
Yes, the friends and enemies who have restrained and cooperated with each other for so many years have finally found a suitable opportunity to reduce staff. They want to work together to kick out Maggs, the biggest player and former dealer.
These people don''t want to read the old love, let alone be shameless. To this extent, why don''t you let Dooling fight them?
This can make Turin grow faster. Once he grows up when he is young, few people in the empire can firmly suppress him and he will lose control!
This is something that Maggs has been avoiding, but at the same time, he needs to face, that is, the smell of ambition that is so strong that it makes people choke their nose to escape.
He covered it up well, but he couldn''t deceive Maggs. He knew what was hidden behind the obedient eyes of the young man.
Do you want to bet once?
He asked himself if he wanted to bet this time that Turin could compete with them.
Just bet that Maggs can get lucky and get better by that ghost hormone.
Just bet that Dooling can understand what the country is the core of society and don''t do something he can''t do!
Margus, who rarely gambled on political choices, hesitated. He did not refuse as decisively as in the past, but considered it seriously.
Perhaps the experience of this period of time made his state of mind a little unbalanced and his mood a little out of control. Kubar''s words aggravated his emotional ups and downs and made his reason gradually lose some ground.
He was thinking, thinking seriously, and then kept silent, although he couldn''t say anything.
Kubal looked at his watch. Also five minutes later, he raised his head and looked at MARGES. His face was more relaxed than before. "Thank God, it makes me feel much better. At least I have a helper. I will call as soon as possible. Will you go with us then?"
"I can''t wait to see the surprised faces of those fools. We''ll put their plans back into their beeps and let them go to hell!"
Maggs, like a dead fish, has no God''s eyes, always staring at the ceiling, as always calm!
