I am a director in Ark. If I am not banned, I will be considered successful.

On TV, Huck, played by Tracy, is discussing the "Memoirs of the Former Prime Minister" with cabinet members. Because it involves the leakage of national defense secrets, it needs to be strictly reviewed, but what Tracy saw in it were some bad remarks about himself.

Because Tracy's character, Huck, is the successor to the position of prime minister, he was considered a "dangerous existence" who was not very liked by the prime minister when he was a minister. Therefore, the critical content about him in the memoirs of the former prime minister must be deleted or modified by Tracy, who is now the prime minister.

Of course, many of the contents are actually echoed in "Yes, Prime Minister", but now even if you just watch "Yes, Prime Minister" it will not have any impact, because with the characterization of the first season, most viewers can see that Huck, played by Tracy, is a person with no opinion of his own.

"It starts on page 211, 'The Secretary of State for Administrative Affairs supported the expansion of the fuel plant in the Cabinet, but publicly opposed it'."

“There is another vicious accusation on page 224, saying that I stopped the factory plan because I was afraid of media reports.”

"An even more untenable paragraph appears on page 231..."

"Page 231, 'Huck cares more about votes than principles.'" And this time, before Tracys could speak, Humphrey, played by the Blood Demon Lord, read out the content with great emotion, saying:

"When you see something wrong, run away."

"He has raised the average age of his cabinet but lowered its average IQ."

The smiling face of Lord Blood Demon also caused the audience outside the TV to laugh. Everyone couldn't help but think of the scene in the first season when Huck, played by Tracys, read "Top Idiot Appleby (Humphrey's last name)" in front of Lord Blood Demon with great emotion when Lord Blood Demon was suspected of being an Ursus spy.

There is no doubt that this is the revenge of the Blood Demon Lord, but whether this is a complete part of the play or the Blood Demon Lord is taking the opportunity to be sarcastic to Tracys is unknown.

"But this is not a leak at all." The deputy attorney general refuted this and said to Tracy: "Besides, Chapter 5 was also leaked, and we didn't care."

"And there's just as much classified information here, and you didn't even initiate a leak investigation."

"Chapter 5 highly praised the contract I negotiated with RemBitco, as well as my LAN security regulations." Tracy immediately gave his own reasons for not deleting Chapter 5. However, as to why he did not initiate a "leak investigation", he smiled shamelessly and said:

"Well, anyone could leak this chapter to the media."

Tracy's double standards and the fact that he was not at all ashamed of it made the audience laugh again.

In just a few lines of dialogue, Tracy's character Huck's "two-faced" image is once again vividly displayed, so much so that when Tracy said the next line, it was hard not to laugh:

"Even the title of Chapter 8 is... 'The Double Life of Jim Hackney'?"

However, this time, the one who ruined the show was not the Blood Demon Lord, but Bernard, played by Manfred. Manfred just poked his head out and said as a matter of course:

"It's not a secret, is it?"

“Hahahahaha!”

Manfred's character Bernard is also particularly popular with the audience. It must be said that although Bernard, played by Manfred, was not nominated for the "Best Performance Award" like the Blood Demon Lord and Tracys, as one of the three leading actors, his role is not less difficult than the other two, but he may be less likable.

"If this had been a narrow-minded leader, this official would have probably already been resentful of him, right?"

In Yan Country, Chong Yue is now watching "Yes, Prime Minister" with the Emperor and the Grand Tutor of Yan Country. Although Chong Yue has not been involved in officialdom, as a "year-old", he is just not interested, not ignorant, and can't help but sigh:

"Otherwise, he will be just like the unfortunate Minister of Employment in the first episode. I believe this Mr. Bernard must be quite talented. I really hope to see the working efficiency of a real elite."

"Corrupt officials are cunning, and honest officials are even more cunning than corrupt officials. It is indeed easy to be hated if you don't flatter." Even the Taifu couldn't help but sigh at this point.

However, at this moment, the Emperor of Yan State always felt that the two men were hinting at something, because he himself knew that he was indeed a little petty, but these two men whispering in his ears in a sinister tone inevitably made him feel uncomfortable.

But the Emperor of Yan State really didn't know what to say... The Grand Tutor was his and his brother's teacher, and Chongyue was the only trustworthy person who might be able to calm down the other "year-olds" who were making some small moves in the future. The Emperor of Yan State had no choice but to focus his attention back on the TV.

However, as the plot develops, the contents of the eighth chapter of the former prime minister's unpublished memoirs were leaked, and along with it, the fact that Prime Minister Hake wanted to ban the former prime minister's memoirs was also leaked.

This incident made the Prime Minister furious, and he immediately called Manfred, the Blood Demon Lord and the "Propaganda Secretary" Bill to find out who the leaker was.

But before that, he had to find a way to deal with the media from half of the Victoria newspaper office blocking outside, which also gave Tracy a headache.

"It's terrible. Last week I tried every possible way to tell them how I would ease the situation in Weiwu, but no one wanted to listen. Now, they all came after me like a bunch of vultures."

"Uh... not a bunch (Notherd, meaning "didn't hear clearly"), Prime Minister." Manfred, who had an occupational disease for these quantifiers and grammatical errors, reminded again, but this time he met Theresis's serious expression and reiterated:

"Like a bunch of vultures."

"Vultures don't live in piles, they live in flocks." Manfred, who had no cure for his occupational disease in this area, continued to correct him: "And they don't chase, they ..."

"—how are they, Bernard?"

"They..." Manfred realized belatedly that his occupational disease might really be a precursor to angering the Prime Minister. He suddenly had an idea and chose to play dumb, imitating a vulture - shrugging his shoulders to represent wings, raising his pupils, and his face, which looked a little old because of the makeup, was distorted into an extremely funny look.

At the same time, whether inside or outside the TV, everyone's laughter has never stopped from the beginning. However, these jokes are just appetizers. What Tracys showed next was the practical experience of how he, as a former "media person", should deal with these remarks that are not in his favor.

Obviously, Tracy is very experienced in how to deal with the media and how to modify what he expressed previously to create another meaning.

"For those places that slander me...smear me back!"

"To say that the former prime minister wants to rewrite history so that his governance doesn't seem so terrible - to imply that he is senile and confused."

Bill, the secretary of the Propaganda Department, was also very savvy. He immediately added a modification, saying, "[The passage of time and the lack of evidence may have blurred his memory]."

"Okay, what about the old fool?" Tracy was very satisfied with this modification and continued to ask.

"——[Don't be too harsh on someone so old]?" Bill continued to record: "What about the part about you wanting to stop the publication of the memoirs?"

"That's a lie." Tracy also adhered to the principle of "never admitting mistakes" when dealing with the media. Bill immediately said:

"[This is a quote out of context from a regular meeting speech, there is no ban], then do you want to accept the interview?"

"Of course not. If I explain..." Tracys thought about it for a while and came up with the best solution. He said immediately:

"To quote the original sentence, 'minorities, irrelevant to state affairs', is just a typical manifestation of the media's vulgarization of politics - to all my dear cabinet colleagues."

With just a few words, Tracys temporarily stabilized the situation that was originally extremely unfavorable to his reputation. The professional ability displayed by the character played by Tracys immediately made many senior officials of the countries who watched secretly record it and plan to use it next time...

Even the Emperor of Yan couldn't help but brighten up and said quickly:

"Captain? Get me some paper and pen. This is a great idea. I have to write it down."

Although the system of Yan State is still feudal, the speed of feudal development has reached the level of modern cities. Even the emperor of Yan State needs to deal with the media... The media of Dayan is no less troublesome than Victoria.

Besides, he had to be a "wise ruler" and be strict with himself, not just killing people because he was upset... Now he finally found a way.

Well, this episode is useful, and I am quite happy - the Emperor of Yan thought to himself as he wrote, and his vigilance towards Chen Qi's talent could not help but relax a little...

Chapter 127: A clear conscience? Why do you have such extravagant thoughts?

"Why is this boy so talented? I heard that he is only a young man, but he already has such insights and understandings? He has many skills that even I have not yet fully understood..."

The Emperor of Yan recorded these techniques, but couldn't help but wonder why Chen Qi had so many insights, and such rich experiences and knowledge that allowed him to write such profound works at this age?

You know, the Emperor of Yan State also grew up with his elder brother under the guidance of the Grand Tutor. They received the most rigorous, luxurious and best-equipped education in Yan State since they were young. However, even at this age, he still sat on this position that did not belong to him by accident...

His elder brother was more intelligent, more scheming, more concerned about the world and more capable of governing it - but his elder brother was even better than him at "getting away unscathed".

And now, Chen Qi is not only involved with his brother, but in a sense, he is particularly close to his brother... This makes the Emperor of Yan start to wonder whether Chen Qi is the illegitimate son of his brother without his knowledge?

Otherwise, with such knowledge and understanding at such a young age... it is really hard to imagine that he is just an ordinary person wandering around.

Of course, there is another piece of evidence that does not count as evidence, that is, Chen Qi and Chen Huijie both have the surname "Chen".

"There is a saying in Yan Country, 'Children from poor families grow up early.'" Zhong Yue seemed to have sensed the Yan Country Emperor's rising vigilance, and he spoke immediately:

"Director Chen Qi does not have a registered permanent residence in Yan Country, and we know nothing about his previous experiences... Since he did not grow up in Yan Country, but was a child who grew up in the wilderness, yet did not become a wild beast, he must have experienced many hardships and adventures that many people have never experienced."

"——Then why not? He is the human transformed from the 'giant beast'?" The Emperor of Yan State also raised this question at this moment. However, when this was said, Zhong Yue smiled confidently and said lightly:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. There are thousands of giant beasts in the world. I dare not say that I know all of them, but I still have some memories of most of the giant beasts in Yan Country."

“Although I have not seen Director Chen Qi in person, if it is a giant beast transformed into a human, no matter how it is concealed, it will more or less show some contempt for all living beings - but Director Chen Qi has never felt this way so far.”

"He is a 'human' heart, Your Majesty, I am sure of that."

Even Chongyue himself now has the heart of a "human". In order to gain such a human-like perception, Chongyue even stripped away a part of himself as a "year-old". Therefore, he could see from the brief award ceremony that Chen Qi was absolutely a "human" and he did not have the natural sense of superiority of the behemoth.

And Chongyue's words made the Emperor of Yan feel a little relieved. The three of them turned their eyes to the TV again, and the plot was still going on.

In order to suppress this negative news, Huck, played by Tracy, specially invited the editor-in-chief of Victoria's largest newspaper to dinner, hoping that the other party would withdraw the report, but the editor-in-chief was powerless to do anything about it and only suggested that Tracy could provide some strong evidence to refute such remarks.

The editor-in-chief also mentioned that the "minutes of the meeting" could be used as evidence, but in order to prove his "innocence", Tracys didn't care about that at the moment.

"Bernard, the minutes are exactly what I said, aren't they?"

"Ah, this..."

However, Bernard, played by Manfred, is the person responsible for recording the "minutes of the meeting". This job can effectively prevent the conversation between the Prime Minister and the ministers from being misinterpreted. It can be said to be the first evidence of the internal investigation, and Manfred is the recorder.

But obviously, judging from Manfred's expression, not only did he not write the minutes of the meeting, but in the face of the Prime Minister's inconsistency, he didn't know how to write the minutes of the meeting.

"The Prime Minister's decision now conflicts with what I said before... This is difficult to deal with."

Meanwhile, in Longmen, Chen Huijie and his group were in Wei Yanwu's residence, and all these Longmen rookies were sitting on the sofa, taking advantage of their leisure time to come here to watch Chen Qi's much-talked-about "Yes, Prime Minister" Season 2.

At this moment, Chen Huijie also felt the embarrassment of Manfred on TV. She couldn't help but look at Wei Yanwu beside her and asked:

"Commander Wei, what do you think we should do in this situation?"

"Well... my idea may be very different from yours, Xiao Chen." Wei Yanwu also had a serious look on his face. He was also a loyal viewer of "Yes, Prime Minister". However, apart from seeing what his daring nephew-in-law had done, he also came here with the idea of ​​exploring the deeper meaning behind it.

In particular, he can explain the profound meaning of the content to these young people who are not very experienced in the world and show off his knowledge. Wei Yanwu really enjoys this process.

"If there is a conflict in the leaders' words, then the minutes of the meeting can only be done according to what the leaders say. This is the only way for Bernard in the play to keep his position now."

"That means we have no choice but to forge the meeting minutes against our conscience?" Chen Huijie was not surprised by this result, but she still did not approve of this approach.

"There's nothing we can do about this, right? After all, if we want to keep our position, we can't go against our boss." Xingxiong said with understanding. She had worked her way up from a gang member to an inspector, so she had a deep understanding of this.

As expected, Manfred in the play went to the Blood Demon Lord to ask what to do about the meeting minutes.

"But the thing is, the Prime Minister did try to ban the memoirs, didn't he?"

"——I don't know, is there?" However, the Blood Demon Lord immediately understood what Manfred meant, but he denied it immediately, causing Manfred to ask anxiously:

"Don't you remember?"

"It doesn't matter whether I remember it or not, Bernard." The Blood Demon Lord couldn't help but enlighten him: "If the minutes don't say he has it, then he doesn't have it."

"...So you want me to forge the minutes of the meeting?" Manfred finally understood what he meant. However, Lord Blood Demon definitely did not want to be caught, so he quickly retorted:

"I have absolutely no such idea! It's up to you, Bernard. What do you want?"

"—I want a clear conscience."

However, Manfred's thoughtless words brought a moment of silence and calmness. For a moment, all the top officials of all countries, including officials who were watching "Yes, Prime Minister", fell silent.

Even the Blood Demon Lord in the play had a moment of loneliness in his eyes when he heard these words, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Clear conscience..."

"——When did you have such an extravagant idea?"

“Hahahahahaha!”

However, the Blood Demon Lord's words brought the whole drama back to comedy. However, this time, compared to the masses who were laughing happily, many officials couldn't help but feel a little lonely after chuckling.

This time, even Longmen’s rookie and Wei Yanwu, as well as the Emperor and Grand Tutor of Yan State, were silent for a moment, and the older generation all sighed softly, feeling vicissitudes and sadness.

"Conscience is for politicians, Bernard. We are humble public servants! Our duty is nothing more than implementing the will of the representatives of the people. How could we be wrong? If we are carrying out the orders of the representatives of the people."

The Blood Demon Lord also taught Bernard earnestly that it was not realistic to make the minutes of the meeting comprehensive, because in the process, everyone's ideas would change. What he had to do was to filter out from these conversations a version that the person who wanted to be loyal to him wanted to see the most.

"The purpose of the minutes is not to record the event itself, but to protect the parties involved."

After the Blood Demon Lord's persuasion, Manfred seemed to have a much better conscience, and the Blood Demon Lord also taught many officials in related professions a professional experience that would definitely be useful.

"…Well, even though Humphrey is a veteran, we can't say he's completely wrong."

Back in Longmen, Shi Huaiya couldn't help but feel that what the Blood Demon Lord said was actually right. If she simply considered her position and class, having such subordinates would undoubtedly save her a lot of trouble.

"But in this case, the credibility of the meeting minutes will be questionable. This kind of thing will help maintain stability, but it is indeed not decent." Lin Yuxia couldn't help but nod.

"--Sometimes, stability is the greatest decency."

Wei Yanwu's words made the young people silent. He left these young people to ponder on their own. While smoking a cigarette, he couldn't help but sigh:

"What on earth is in this kid's head? How could a person that Xiaota picked up from the snowfield become a world-famous genius? How strange..."

Although judging from the current situation, Wei Yanwu no longer has to worry about the safety of Chen Qi and Tallulah. It can even be said that the power behind Chen Qi and others may already be enough to threaten the Yan Kingdom. Even Wei Yanwu himself can be regarded as one of Chen Qi and others' backers.

But the more mysterious Chen Qi acted, the more curious Wei Yanwu became about Chen Qi's identity, and... the more worried he became about whether his younger brother in the palace would think too much.

But please don’t cause trouble for me, kid... otherwise Xiaota and Xiaochen will be without an uncle... Wei Yanwu couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

However, when Wei Yanwu turned his attention back to the TV, Manfred in the plot was surrounded and questioned by reporters. Under the reporters' endless questioning, Manfred inadvertently expressed the signal that "the power of the Prime Minister is above the 'Official Secrets Act'."

"Oh no, this kid is going to be finished."

When Wei Yanwu saw this plot, as a veteran in the officialdom, he quickly smelled the danger - because this was not one of those "little resignation tricks" that could be laughed off, this was a big mistake that could really get someone fired.

And on TV, Manfred's expression said it all. He had realized that he was in trouble.
