Chapter 373 I Love You More (Part One) (1/1)
Charles had been deposed as the prime minister, so the Bright Dynasty needed a new prime minister. The unsettled matter of who would fill that post was the question on everyone's mind, and many officials were scrambling for it.
Felix wanted to install his own favorite in that position. If his candidate took the position of the prime minister, he would always know in advance what was going on in the Cabinet. In that manner, he thought he would always know what course of action would most endear him to his father, and his father would never think about making a different son his heir. Aside from Felix, Hoffman had the same thought, and though he was informed about events in the capital, he was far away in the south domain.
In the imperial court session, several ministers were arguing over who to appoint as the new prime minister. They had their own recommendations and each candidate had his advantages. For a time, the meeting room resembled a chaotic food market filled with haggling. Civil officers and
ranklin.
”Your son and daughter are not children anymore. Am I right? Do you have any plans for their marriages?” asked Maxwell.
”Well, my daughter's marriage is almost decided. As for my son's marriage, I'm worried about it very much. But he has his own ideas, and I can't force his hand,” Franklin replied as he shook his head. ”General, did you hurt badly when you were young?”
”Why do you ask?” Maxwell asked, wondering why he had brought up this question.
”Nothing. I was just curious. I'm leaving now. Goodbye,” replied Franklin.
”See you.” Maxwell didn't stay there. He mounted his horse and drove away. Many people suspected he had hidden injuries. That was actually true. And his injuries were inflicted by someone deliberately. It was Harper who told him all about this. At first, he had not believe her words at all, but he asked a physician to confirm it in private, and that physician echoed Harper's diagnosis. What was more, her information was much more detailed than the physician's.
