Night fell on the city, and the nightlife of the imperial capital finally began.
In fact, many outsiders do not have a deep understanding of the imperial capital. Most of them come from some news reports and the narration of friends. Their understanding of the imperial capital still stays in the center of political culture, and a large number of dignitaries live here. Therefore, it will make people think of the Imperial capital and some serious contents at the same time.
But in fact, God''s nightlife is no worse than that in southern cities, and some aspects are even more distinctive than those in southern cities.
After all, this is the political, economic and cultural center of Yaoxing empire. The imperial capital of all dynasties and Cherith Street are also on the side of the imperial capital. Naturally, around all this, the society will form a service supply chain with the same standard class to ensure that the people of the imperial capital can meet the spiritual needs.
In a modest club, Holmes is entertaining some senior leaders within the new party. Every time he comes to the imperial capital, he will contact these people, and invite different people to dinner every day to enjoy all kinds of beautiful things.
For a person of noble origin, this consumption is not enough to make him feel meat pain, but it is enough to raise people''s rating of his style.
There are some childish and stupid things in everyone''s heart. For example, if you take advantage of others, you will always feel guilty. If you get small favors from others, you will always feel that this person is actually good.
Of course, this is also a way to maintain social relations. As Holmes, who has a slight advantage, his efforts have become somewhat taken for granted, in various senses.
The fat interior minister drank some wine and was complaining, "you don''t know, he directly put the responsibility on me in front of many people at the meeting. I can''t believe my ears. If I had such great ability and ability, I wouldn''t be so weak in recent years!"
So far, the Minister of the interior has not been relieved of what happened before. Du Lin''s public attack on him has made him lose his face.
Now people are saying that Dooling wants to take him as a stepping stone in his party and step on him.
He was wronged. He didn''t really do any work, but he couldn''t effectively fight back against Turin, because he really didn''t do any effective work during this period.
Being targeted by a younger generation for no reason, no matter how others persuade him, he can''t calm his heart. This is equivalent to a younger generation slapping him in the face. No matter how many words others say "look away" or "bear it and it''s over", he can''t erase his anger and disgust at Turin.
It happened that Holmes invited him to dinner in the evening. With the help of some wine, he let out his complaints.
Looking at the already fuming interior minister, Holmes didn''t understand what he said. He wasn''t sure whether the interior minister wanted to say this intentionally or unintentionally.
If it is the former, his answer is likely to be regarded as an agreement or commitment, and he will become very passive. If it is the latter, no matter what he says now, it will be meaningless.
The contradiction between him and Turin had already occurred. After he realized that Turin also aimed at that position, he knew that he would meet Turin sooner or later.
Firing at the top of the party is not a smart move, which will make many top leaders feel very bad about Dooling. Even if there is MARGES standing behind him, it is difficult for people to appreciate such a unruly young man.
But he did. Holmes thought this was the first step for Dooling to establish his authority through the Ministry of the interior. This was only a beginning, not an end.
Once given an opportunity, he will certainly intervene in the work of the Ministry of the interior, and then take this opportunity to establish a more perfect image in the party, and then he is qualified to compete for the position of vice chairman of the party.
It''s not a good choice to compete with Turin now. The great changes in the state of ambillo in the past two years have been seen by many people. The west is now like Turin''s own West. Most people are crazy, believe in him, love him and fear him.
The great social changes he brought bought the most difficult imperial citizens in the shortest time, and he has done his best in civil affairs.
No one can deny Dooling''s political achievements. He has done well in any aspect. What he lacks is his age. If he can be another 20 years older, Holmes is willing to take the initiative to withdraw from the competition, because he really can''t win Dooling, who is at the peak of all factors.
But now, Dooling is still too young. Youth is his biggest disadvantage - if he is young and occupies a high position, it will embarrass those who are equal to him and inferior to him, but older than him.
It took these people forty or fifty years, fifty or sixty years to do something. Du Lin did it before he was 30. Then there is a problem. There must be a waste among us.
Age is Dooling''s fatal weakness, which can not be wiped out through efforts. Therefore, Holmes did not hesitate to take the initiative to attack. He knew that if he did not fight for this term, he might not have a chance in the future.
The growing up Dooling, together with the timamont family and the political heritage of MARGES, is enough to put him above 99.9% of all kinds of people in the party. As long as he reaches the top, it means that he will not give up that position until he retires.
In order to ensure that he has worked hard for so many years and will not fail, Holmes handed over the work of woodland state to the Secretary''s office. He first came to the imperial capital to explore the wind and contact his feelings by the way.
The first one he contacted was the Minister of the interior who was fired by Du Lin at the regular meeting. He and the Minister of the interior are old friends. The Minister of the interior is also a noble, but a little aristocrat, which was not particularly conspicuous in the past.
After drinking some wine, he began to complain that the current work was difficult to carry out, that the situation in the party was deteriorating rapidly day by day, that the leaders and chairman had no idea of saving, and that Turin was presumptuous and lost face.
Holmes said a few intimate words, said Dooling''s bad, and picked on Dooling''s problems, which made the Minister of the interior much more comfortable and relieved his pressure.
After dinner, they sat together and watched the night news at 9:30 p.m. and talked about the current political situation in the Empire. Then Holmes began to arrange the next activities for the Minister of the interior.
As an important role in the party such as the Minister of the interior of the new party, Holmes will certainly not arrange so stereotypical. He arranged a one-to-five multi-channel point-to-point assistance for the Minister of the interior, helping five girls who couldn''t even afford to wear clothes and forced to smile.
His personal help is certainly meager for all people in need of help in the world, but if he is not willing to pay a little, even if his ability is strong, he will not make any progress in the aid cause of the world.
Although this is only a small step in the aid cause, it is also a large project, involving hundreds of millions of large projects.
After sending the Minister of the interior into the room to have a long chat with the girls in need of assistance, Holmes took a bath in the dressing room and changed into clean clothes, which had a strong smell of wine and some smoke.
Others can rest, but his work is not over yet. He looked at the time, and left alone near ten o''clock. Then he called a taxi and went to boworth''s house.
The relationship between Dooling and bowworth... Is not so harmonious, but some old people in the party, such as Holmes, are actually closer to bowworth, including your Excellency the chairman and dolly.
Because in the past three decades, poworth has been playing the role of an aspiring civilian politician. He is very dedicated and emits his own light and heat in his post of Party whip.
Whenever people talk about the new party whip, a very vivid shadow appears in their mind. At least at this stage, boworth is not very annoying.
Thirty years of friendship will not change the attitude of the people who have been with him for 30 years, including the top level of the party, because poworth''s identity has changed overnight. In fact, his attitude towards poworth is not so pressing.
In addition to the chairman who was told by MARGES, others actually regarded him as a party whip and took a part-time job as a leader.
So Holmes''s visit to Bowers can make sense, and it won''t be so abrupt.
Bowworth knew Holmes was coming early. He had prepared snacks and wine for the reception. After they met, they hugged. Bowworth took Holmes''s hand and went into the study.
After the two sat down, Bowers''s first sentence reassured Holmes a lot. He said, "in principle, I support you very much. If you take another step, the new party vice chairman or party whip, I believe you will do better than others."
This sentence made Holmes relax. There was high-level support for him. If poworth, the current leader of the new party, supported him, he would have a great advantage in the voting of the new Party committee.
If you can persuade your excellency to choose him, he will be passed ahead of time.
There must be a return because there must be a pay. Boworth''s promise to be so happy must also need a return. The higher people stand, the more they understand this. There may be hatred for no reason in the world, because of jealousy, but there is absolutely no love for no reason.
Adhering to the principle that everything is based on interests, Holmes and boworth began to deal with each other endlessly. It was a very boring game. They said irrelevant words and guessed each other''s thoughts. It was stupid!
"I don''t seek to sit in this position longer. When it''s time for me to leave, I will certainly leave, but Holmes, you know, even God can''t guarantee that we don''t make mistakes. We are just human beings created by God. We are not as perfect as God, and we will make mistakes.", Boworth''s expression gradually became a little serious when he said this. He looked at Holmes with a smile. His smile was different from that just now.
Holmes nodded and agreed with this. Boworth continued, "no matter what happened in the past, I hope I can have a peaceful old age. I''m just a poor old man waiting for death. I hope I can be quiet and alone. I don''t want to be disturbed or disturb others."
He looked at Holmes sincerely. During this period, he made a lot of money. Once people were shameless for the first time, the shameless behind them took it for granted, or even got used to it.
He went out shamelessly to get money and benefits, and he did get a lot of benefits for him. There were a lot of money, shares, various works of art and effective and invalid commitments.
Margus worked hard for thirty years. In the end, he didn''t even want to give him a chance. He didn''t intend to fight with margus and those people. He just wanted to get some benefits in the last stage of his life, make his old age more comfortable, and make his children don''t need to suffer for numbers that are not even money in the eyes of some people.
He is just a poor old man, but he also knows that once someone really tears his face and wants to fall down, such as Dooling, he will be unlucky in the end.
This is like all the people suspected of job-related crimes, who know there are great risks and will be afraid of hesitation because of their actions, but they still do that!
Holmes thought for a while, and finally slowly nodded his head. As Powell said, he was just an old man waiting to die. He gave up power, so he shouldn''t ask him to do better in other aspects.
Poworth breathed out and calmed down. Anyway, he was shameless. He didn''t mind saying more naked, "I will fully support you to become the next leader..."
Holmes interrupted with a smile in the corner of his eye, "the first step is the Vice Chairman..."
Bowers nodded, "Yes, the first step is the vice chairman. I''ll talk to odega about this. Now it really needs to be rectified internally. Dolly''s character is not suitable for her to sit in her current position. I have a consideration. We can let her do the work of the party whip and cultivate her ability in this regard, and then an experienced person like you will be responsible for the party problems, which will be effective Solve the problems we are facing. "
"Odega will retire with me. You will be the only one in the party who can fight for this position, Holmes!"
This is also Holmes'' consideration. After boworth retires after two terms, odega, who is older than him, must also retire, otherwise he will not comply with the retirement regulations formulated by Maggs.
The leader of the new party and the chairman of the new Party committee retire at the same time. Those who can compete for the position of leader can only choose one of the two vice chairmen.
Holmes believed that he could persuade another vice chairman to be promoted to Chairman, and he would be a leader for two terms. After that, he would not miss it. At that time, he was not old enough to retire and could use his political move of abdication in exchange for greater political interests.
For example, pulling up several young people in the family is enough to make his family prosperous for a long time.
His thoughts coincided with those of Bowers. Holmes smiled and nodded, and the matter was settled.
