Doctor Amnesiac, but not completely amnesiac

He picked up a cup, poured himself some water, and drank it all.

"gentlemen?"

"Get me some sedative, mix it with water, and put it on my seat."

The colonel gripped the cup tightly, veins showing on the back of his hand.

"Sir, don't you like our cooking?"

The chef asked nervously.

Yefim glanced at him.

"No—I didn't eat a single bite."

-------------------------------------------------

"Mr. Qiao Yelan, what would you like to eat?"

Yegor asked rather attentively.

"Thank you. I'd like a glass of water, please."

"Ok."

Although he asked Qiao Yelan what he wanted to eat, Yegor didn't eat anything either. He just picked up a glass of wine.

"What do you think?"

"We were just dragged here to be a spectator. They have already prepared everything. It's nothing more than asking us to shut up and cooperate."

Qiao Yelan looked at the snow outside the window and spoke casually.

"I thought that your fierce rebuttal before at least——"

"Why don't you go tell this to Oleg and Alexander?"

The man turned and looked at the Minister of Labor.

Yegor remained silent.

“Anatole prepared everything, from the implementation of the policy to our inquiries – so objection was impossible, at least at this meeting.”

"If it's impossible to even object at a meeting, then there's nothing to say."

He sighed.

"Minister Yegor, do you mind if I visit you privately?"

"Of course I don't mind. This is my business card. It shows my address in Saint Eagle Castle. You are welcome to visit me at any time. If I am not here, my wife will call me and I will definitely come back as soon as possible."

Yegor handed Qiao Yelan a business card.

"Thank you - could you please push me back to my seat?"

"of course."

Yegor pushed Qiao Yelan back to his seat, then sat back in his chair with his glass of wine.

Seeing that the people opposite had not returned yet, Qiao Yelan lowered his head and spoke to Alexander who was sitting on the right in a very low voice.

"Mr. Alexander, could you please ride in the same car with me after we get out? My driver is trustworthy."

The man looked up in surprise, but in the end he said nothing and just nodded slightly.

Glancing at Oleg, who had become a clay or wooden sculpture, Qiao Yelan said nothing, but just waited quietly for the meeting to resume.

However, Anatoly has already said this much, so the rest is just a formality.

Soon, the formality was completed, but in order to make it less awkward, the other party asked, "Does anyone have any objections?"

Naturally, no one answered.

"You are not allowed to take any documents with you. You can only memorize them and submit them to your superiors in a carefully worded report. This document will be reviewed by Colonel Yefim before submission."

The meeting ended there, and all ten people present stood up, packed up their things and prepared to leave.

"You are responsible for organizing all the recording tapes. Let the recorder transcribe them tomorrow. The confidentiality measures must be extremely strict. Any items that may leave traces, including the axis of the typewriter, must be disposed of."

Anatoly instructed Yefim.

"clear."

In just a moment, they missed the scene of Alexander pushing Qiao Yelan away.

"Grand Duke Kosice's envoy brought some documents to submit to the parliament and asked me to go over and help take a look."

This is what Alexander told his driver.

After the two men got in the car and drove out of the villa, Alexander looked at Qiao Yelan sitting opposite him.

"You contacted me privately, is there something?"

"I would like to visit the Speaker, is that okay?"

"You can apply, or send an invitation. It depends on whether Speaker Witte will—"

"Very anxious—about this meeting."

The man looked at Qiao Yelan.

"Don't you find it strange that Anatole hinted that the Emperor and the Speaker had agreed, but the order was indeed issued by Grand Duke Nicholas. Don't you suspect that this hint was actually a trick by Anatole?"

Alexander opened his mouth wide. It was indeed an unspoken political rule not to finish what he was saying—but what if that was all he had to say?

"Speaker Witte was born a commoner. He was promoted by His Majesty Vladimir. He joined forces with the common officials he promoted to fight against the nobles in the parliament."

"And your Majesty was personally taught and raised by the late emperor. Whether it is the principles of state governance or political methods, they must have been inherited from your Majesty Vladimir. Do you think the two of them will really agree to this?"

Qiao Yelan's words brought light back to Alexander's eyes, who had been hesitating.

Yes, I had been so caught up in my habitual political thinking that I almost forgot the conflict between Grand Duke Nicholas, the Speaker of the Parliament, and His Majesty the Emperor!

"And think about it carefully. If this matter was really agreed by His Majesty and the Speaker, why did Grand Duke Nicholas let his own son do it? This is a job that will dirty your hands, and it may even be an account that can never be reversed!"

"You're right! It's right for Nikolai to let anyone do this, but Anatoly shouldn't do it! And now that the other party has become the leader, there must be some reason that forced them to make this choice!"

Qiao Yelan nodded seriously.

"So I want to go with you to meet the Speaker first. At least we need to confirm his thoughts in person. If Anatoly is deliberately deceiving us, we must not let them succeed!"

"No problem, I can arrange it tonight, we can do it together!"

Alexander was immersed in the excitement of discovering the concealment, and did not notice at all that mixed in Qiao Yelan's righteous words was a scrutinizing gaze without a trace of warmth.

PS: Family members, please, I understand the need to keep a book, but could you please do me a favor and turn to the last page? This counts as catch-up reading.

You can only get recommendations if you follow the book. The data of this book is quite bad. In the book review section of the last book, you voted to see a book with higher purity. As a result, I wrote it, and then -

Where are you guys?

Where are my readers?

The last book died suddenly after it was put on the shelves. This time, it hasn’t been put on the shelves yet, and it hasn’t died yet, but it’s dying soon.

Chapter 43: The One Who Transformed into an Evil Dragon

"It is an honor to have the opportunity to have dinner with the Speaker. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to meet with me, Mr. Witte."

"Grand Duke Kosice is an important supporter of the royal family. In this difficult moment, I will accept your invitation to meet him as soon as possible, as a comrade who is willing to stand by our side."

Witt waved his hand, and the servants bowed and retreated, leaving only three people sitting at the dining table. Alexander sat next to Witt, and Qiao Yelan sat opposite him.

"The reason why I am so anxious to see you is because of the meeting that Alexander and I attended today. Have you heard about the [Final Plan] for the problem of infected people before?"

Speaker Witte's expression did not change at all, he just nodded.

"Yes, and Anatole has given a confidential report of this matter to me and to your Majesty."

Alexander's expression changed instantly, and Qiao Yelan could clearly see the shock and fear on that face.

"So, since this meeting has been held, it means that you and His Majesty have approved - or at least acquiesced to - the execution of this action?"

Qiao Yelan's voice was still so calm, as if he really just wanted to get verification.

"This is a joint decision between His Majesty and me - it is impossible to bring this matter to a public vote in Parliament, which means that we have no political means to prevent its implementation."

Witt sighed.

"The topic of the infected has actually been used by those nobles as a magic weapon to attack us. Many infected officials who were once promoted by the previous emperor have been exiled or demoted, and the military controlled by Nicholas is even more so. Even General Hellagur, the glorious eagle that once galloped on the battlefield, has been suppressed because of this."

"We have lost too many supporters of the late emperor, so that even if His Majesty and I join hands, we can only barely contend with Grand Duke Nicholas who has the support of the nobles. Therefore, we have no choice but to be patient until the other party makes a mistake—"

Qiao Yelan understood what the other party meant. This time, dealing with the infected people was their opportunity to fight back.

"Your Majesty and I will acquiesce to this, but at the same time, we will certainly not agree to it in any public occasion. Therefore, when the nobles and the military slaughter the infected, we can stand up and win the support of the infected and civilians again!"

A smile appeared on Chancellor Witte's face.

"And we can also use this to strike a blow against Nicholas. After all, it's his son who did this. He wants to unite the nobles, so we can make him completely cut himself off from the people!"

Alexander's face showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, while Qiao Yelan still looked calm and composed.

"It is indeed a rare opportunity - but if we explicitly oppose this, then we will probably offend the military, right? This will not be worth the loss."

“Although there are many nobles in the army, and most of them support Grand Duke Nicholas, after all, the army is mostly made up of civilian officers who were promoted during the previous emperor’s time, and of course the soldiers are mostly civilians as well.”

"We are ready. General Hellagur left us a man before he left. We plan to establish him as a new model and representative. He is also an infected person. More importantly, he is a Sarkaz with one of the best armies in the empire!"

Qiao Yelan nodded slightly. Indeed, nothing could better demonstrate the emperor's image of meritocracy than promoting an infected Sarkaz, and the soldiers were obviously more interested in promotion.

It is obvious that no matter whether this idea was thought up by Witte or the emperor, they, like Qiao Yelan, realized that they should continue to implement Vladimir's national policy, keep the upward channel open, reduce the number of serfs, and build up a force that can compete with the nobles.

This speaker is worthy of Qiao Yelan's investment, but unfortunately -

He painted this PPT with lies and blood.

"How delightful! Then I guess my help is not needed. Before coming here, Her Excellency the Grand Duke asked me to pass on a message that she will still abide by the contract, and the Vice-Prince of Siberia will continue to stand by Your Majesty as always."

Qiao Yelan put down his knife and fork with a smile, looking relieved.

"Are you not going to enjoy this delicacy anymore? This is a very rare ingredient. The Jiangzhu was transported thousands of miles from Great Yan and was once a tribute from the Emperor of Great Yan."

"I'm so sorry. I ate too much at Anatoly's place before, and I still seem to have some indigestion. Please forgive me for not being able to enjoy it."

Qiao Yelan bowed apologetically.

"Then I will go back first. After the final results come out, I will return to the Vice-Kingdom to report to the Grand Duke. Goodbye."

"Alexander, please see the Administrator off."

"Yes."

Alexander pushed Qiao Yelan all the way to the car.

"Secretary General Alexander, you seem relieved?"

"Yes, this is indeed a rare opportunity. Your Majesty and the Speaker can finally shake off the past slump and compete with Grand Duke Nicholas in a real sense."

Qiao Yelan looked at his excited face and smiled silently.

"Yes—goodbye, Mr. Secretary."

"Goodbye, Mr. Qiao Yelan."

The car started, and Qiao Yelan sat in the wheelchair with his eyes closed.

【You don't look very happy.】

"Yes, before I came here, I thought about how bad Ursus would be after losing Vladimir, but I didn't expect it to be this bad. If that guy saw the heir he chose and the person he supported playing this game, he would probably jump up and smack them in the face with the coffin lid."

[What's wrong? There's nothing wrong with what that guy named Witt said. Politics is such a dirty thing. Have you never seen this kind of trick before?]

Qiao Yelan was almost amused by Kosice.

You old man really know how to tell a joke - am I such a naive person in front of you?

It seems that there is a new way to defraud her.
