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

A day later, the Emperor of Yan State in Yan State also knew the news about Casimir. However, the Emperor of Yan State twitched his mouth at Chen Qi's sharp comment in "Yes, Prime Minister", and asked Zhong Yue:

"General Zhongyue, is this what you promised to do to be harmless and good?"

"…Your Majesty, forgive me for being so presumptuous. Although I am not engaged in business, I know that bribery and tax evasion are both serious crimes. In the laws of Great Yan, financial crimes can be punished by death, and the slightest mistake can be punished by beheading."

"Director Chen Qi dared to be the first person to expose the veil, knowing that it was impossible but still doing it. If this isn't a great kindness, then what is it?"

Chongyue's answer was neither humble nor arrogant. During this period of time, he had been arguing with the Emperor of Yan in the palace, hoping that the Emperor of Yan would give Chen Qi a chance and let him film a scene in Dayan to show that he would never be used by his two sisters or other brothers and sisters.

All it takes is one scene, no matter what the subject is, as long as it's positive, there's no problem. Chongyue was still giving psychological counseling to the emperor, who had always been very afraid of "Sui"'s actions, when Chen Qi's movements here became a big deal.

To be honest, Zhongyue was shocked when he saw that Casimir was about to collapse due to a series of chain reactions. It was not that there was no way to do it. If he really wanted to destroy Casimir, then Sui could have done it back then, but to make a country's credit collapse was, to some extent, more difficult than destroying a country.

But in just one episode, Chen Qi turned Casimir into this through a chain reaction... Chong Yue had to admit that it was not unreasonable for the emperor to be wary of and afraid of Chen Qi's talent. Who knows if Chen Qi's anger will spread to the Yan Kingdom one day?

But even so, Zhongyue insisted on his position and continued, "Casimir's crisis is the corruption within them. It's not just what was revealed in "Yes, Prime Minister". With their collusion, there are so many unjust and wrong cases. There will be more people dying, but they have been suppressed."

"And the current situation can only mean that the series of hidden dangers hidden in Casimir's previous collusion have all erupted. Just like the irony in "Yes, Prime Minister", things that seem to be able to be resolved without making a big fuss will only breed more hidden dangers in the future."

"This is something our Yan country should learn from. Your Majesty, don't let the problems accumulate and then explode."

Chongyue also helped Chen Qi to make the case, and in front of Chongyue, the Emperor of Yan also thought carefully and felt that what Chongyue said made sense.

However, the emperor did not make a decision immediately. But after Chongyue and the Taifu's nagging for so many days, he had more or less recognized Chen Qi's talent in his heart, and was also considering where to give Chen Qi room to display his talents.

He even thought about what the reward would be. The Emperor of Yan knew that Chen Qi was not interested in money or inhibitors at the moment, and only rare treasures could make Chen Qi take action.

But what happens is that Yan Country is not short of rare treasures.

"Then let's take a look first. I'll make plans after I finish watching these two episodes."

“Huh…” Chongyue heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. He felt that he was almost successful, and the Emperor was just one step away from giving in.

Zhong Yue now only hopes that Chen Qi can be a little more gentle in the two episodes of "Yes, Prime Minister" this time, and not do anything big... But it's really unfair for him, as the eldest brother, to have to talk so much in the palace that his lips are almost worn out in order to prevent the emperor from thinking that his two sisters are going to rebel.

Thinking of this, Zhongyue once again turned his gaze to the screen. Taifu was watching silently on the side. Everyone was waiting to see what the two episodes today would bring.

Nowadays, except for ordinary people, most people no longer regard "Yes, Prime Minister" as a simple political satire comedy, but as a "magic mirror". Everything mentioned and satirized in it can almost be traced back to the top leaders of Terra, and most of them can really be found to have some problems once checked.

Even the Yan Kingdom, which has a different political system, was able to find many problems by following the same pattern. Now the emperor can be said to have a love-hate relationship with this drama.

Accompanied by the familiar opening music, familiar actors came on stage again. As soon as Tracy and Manfred appeared, they told the main issue of this episode.

"These damned local government councils are run by a bunch of corrupt, smart-aleck idiots!"

The film starts off with some particularly sharp remarks. There are very few very direct attacks in "Yes, Prime Minister", and this time, the remarks of Huck, played by Tracy, clearly indicate at the opening that the conflict between local and central governments has intensified.

"Aren't these committee members democratically elected?" Bernard, played by Manfred, also said soothingly. However, Tereses smiled jokingly and answered directly:

"That depends on how you define 'democracy'."

"Only about 25% of people voted in the local elections (for committee members), and the votes were only used as a support survey for the central government as a reference."

"But those local committee members are still representatives of public opinion," Manfred asked.

"——Who do they represent?" However, Teresis, who was very aware of the problem, immediately asked Manfred such a question, saying as a matter of course: "The people don't even know who their (local) committee members are."

“Do you know who your (local) committee member is?”

"I don't know." Manfred answered honestly, and Tracy naturally knew that this would be the answer, and said:

"Of course you don't know - those (local) committee members also know it, so they have been doing whatever they want for four years, using public funds to gain fame and reputation."

"They disrupt the inner city, they destroy the schools, they demoralize the police, they undermine the authority of the law, and then they blame me."

However, after Tracys said this, slowly, the Taifu, the emperor and Chongyue all understood the meaning of the local government and local committee members mentioned here. This probably corresponds to the parents' officials in various regions of Yan State.

Is this episode about the problems of these local officials?

This... is a big problem.

For a moment, the eyes of the emperor and the tutor became much more serious, because they both knew very well that the people who needed to be controlled most in governing the country were the local officials. They were the officials closest to the people among the officials, and how they solved the people's problems, to a large extent, represented how Yan State solved problems in the hearts of the people.

This question was quite sharp. When Zhongyue heard this, his heart, which had been as tough as steel after years of martial arts training, couldn't help but twitch a few times.

"Sister Xi, Sister Nian...what are you doing? Director Chen Qi wants to shoot such a dangerous subject, why don't you stop him?"

"Your elder brother has been here trying to persuade His Majesty and has worn out his lips. You should at least show some understanding to him..."

Zhongyue was in deep pain, but he didn't know that at this moment, thousands of miles away in Londinium, Nian and Xi were eating potato chips and drinking beverages, enjoying the screening of "Yes, Prime Minister" with great interest, and they had no idea that their elder brother was running around in the palace to settle the troubles they had caused.

"Chen Qi, would you like some potato chips? Spicy ones."

"Ah, thanks."

At this moment, Chen Qi was also sitting in the middle of the sofa. Nian and Tallulah were lying on both sides of the sofa. Their legs were all pressed on his thighs, looking as comfortable as they could be.

Chen Qi, who was acting as a human cushion, also cast strange looks at Nian and Xi who seemed to be indifferent to this side. He always felt that he, as a director, seemed to have brought a few lazy girls into the crew.

The only use of this person is that he has thighs to look at, but he doesn't even dare to touch them.

For this reason, the only thing Chen Qi could do was... to hard touch the two thighs of Tallulah that he could touch.

At least, this kind of life is not bad. There are thighs to touch, potato chips to eat, and TV series to watch. It seems... quite good.

Chapter 143: Froststar's first appearance in "Yes, Prime Minister"

"Discussing the conflict between the local government and the central government... I have to say that Director Chen Qi's courage is rare in the world. No one has ever dared to speak so loudly on this issue."

Theresa, Lord Blood Demon and Manfred, who had already finished their performance, gathered together to re-appreciate the content of "Yes, Prime Minister". This time, Theresa was rare in that she was not by Chen Qi's side, but accompanied the three of them to watch the two episodes together.

The main reason why the three of them accompanied her this time was to let Theresa take a look at Chen Qi's work and see if she had any signs of soul recovery - after all, during the time that Theresa arranged for his sister to have contact with Chen Qi, he felt that his sister obviously spoke more.

This time, Tracy accompanied Theresa to watch his performance, and Theresa did not disappoint him. As expected, after watching "Yes, Prime Minister", Theresa, who only possessed the "collective consciousness of the Sarkaz", also spoke more.

"Then, Your Highness, do you think that the Sarkaz will need this knowledge in the future?" Manfred was also very respectful to Theresa and couldn't help asking.

"…If the Sarkaz can rebuild their homeland in the future, then problems between the central and local governments will inevitably arise."

In response to this, Theresa, who was very experienced in governing a country, continued to answer according to her own thoughts: "The territory of Kazdel is very vast. In the future, the central government will not be able to govern all the regions personally. It is inevitable that the local governments will be divided and governed."

"And the hidden dangers are what we need to pay attention to. Kazdel has been destroyed so many times, and much of the knowledge about governing the country has been lost. The Banshees are guarding the last 'library'. Now is the time for us to explore again."

"Everyone, keep watching. Director Chen Qi's knowledge is of extraordinary significance to us."

"——Yes, Your Highness."

As for Theresa's words, neither Manfred nor the Blood Demon Lord dared to make any rash moves, even though they had already acted it out once. However, the feeling of acting it out once was completely different from that of watching it again as a bystander. They all hoped to gain more insights and to dig out the essence of "Yes, Prime Minister".

At this moment, Prime Minister Hake, played by Tracy in the play, is also troubled by an issue in the local government. A woman named "Agnes Mohau" in a district is giving him a headache.

“Threatening to withhold funding for the police and ban them from using government property!”

"She can't do that. Section 5 of the Police Act states, 'The district government must provide police force in both quality and quantity.'" Manfred is very capable at work. He doesn't need to look up any materials when talking about these key laws.

"——She said that unless at least 50% of the police officers are infected, neither the quality nor the quantity can be guaranteed." Tracy was also very troubled by this problem and said irritably:

"Unfortunately, the police force under her administration is ranked last in the country in terms of both quality and quantity. Everyone is worried that she can prove it in court."

However, the phenomena reflected in the play fell into the eyes of the top leaders of various countries in Terra, and they almost subconsciously frowned. They all felt a huge threat and subconscious disapproval from this radical proposal.

The problem of the infected is a big deal in every country on the Terra continent, because most of the infected represent the real bottom of the country. Most of them are engaged in Originium mining and Originium industry-related work. The work is very hard, but the salary and compensation they receive are pitifully low.

Once infected, they will be completely relegated to the bottom of society, and their lives will change from "living" to "surviving". Although the number of infected people is not much compared to non-infected people, they are still a group that cannot be ignored.

It’s not like there weren’t people who suggested “treating the infected kindly” before. However, this call exists in almost every country, but it has always been a private organization. The reason is… because there is a clan called “Sarkaz” whose members are almost all infected.

Whenever the question "Aren't Sarkaz living things?" is raised, all those who call for "great unity" fall silent. This is why such a lofty ideal has always been a non-governmental organization, and even Lateran, which has always called for an end to disputes, cannot support it.

"He sounds like a good person, right? What do you think, Dr. Kal'tsit?"

In Rhodes Island, Amiya, who also waits for the broadcast of "Yes, Prime Minister" on TV every week and has gradually used this drama as a textbook to study, also expressed her naive views at this moment.

Because Rhodes Island is such an ideal shelter that "does not care about race and infected issues", and Amiya, as the leader of Rhodes Island, immediately agreed when she heard that the district chairperson named "Agnes" seemed to be planning to promote unity between the infected and non-infected.

However, this time, Kal'tsit discovered some problems and said with a frown:

"No, Amiya, this is a very dangerous woman. She has great political ambitions."

"Huh?" Amiya obviously didn't react, and looked at Kal'tsit with a blank face. Kal'tsit also shook her head and said:

"The problems of infected people are difficult to solve. If she really has such a lofty ideal, she should proceed step by step, gaining support from non-infected people first. Only when she has enough support can she have the means to implement it."

"For example, if 50% of the police are infected, there is no way such a proposal will be passed. No non-infected people will be willing to accept infected people as law enforcement officers. Such a class gap is too big and completely unrealistic."

"Then why did Ms. Agnes propose this?" Amiya was a little confused, but Kal'tsit saw it clearly and said coldly:

"——She is using vulnerable groups like the infected as her shield. She doesn't really care about the infected. If she really cares, her first thing should be to set up a shelter for the infected and support the implementation of the minimum protection policy for the infected, instead of doing such meaningless things."

"Be careful, Amiya. There are many people like this in this land. They use the guise of vulnerable groups to suck the last drop of blood from these vulnerable groups. They are far more hateful than those who are high and mighty."

There was a rare hint of anger in Kal'tsit's words. Obviously, she saw through the purpose of the woman named "Agnes" who proposed the proposal. However, for Rhodes Island, people who sacrificed more innocent and vulnerable people for their own future were undoubtedly extremely hateful.

In the plot, this "Agnes" is naturally quite difficult to deal with. She is not only proficient in law, but also eloquent and strong. Theresis is very distressed about who should be sent to suppress the other party.

"It can't be a political confrontation, it has to be an administrative staff. It has to be someone who is responsible for security matters."

However, as he was speaking, Tracys' gaze could not help but turn to the Blood Demon Lord. However, the Blood Demon Lord was still thinking about the candidate, and suddenly he noticed the Prime Minister's thoughtful look, and the Blood Demon Lord immediately reacted violently.

"No, no no! Prime Minister! No! She's a giant beast!"

"This is a matter for the National Police Agency, the Ministry of the Interior, the Security Bureau... I mean the Secret Service... the Military Intelligence Bureau... the Chancellor, the Ministry of the Environment -"

"--the Whiting Authority?"

"White cod... no no no!"

It was the first time that the Blood Demon Lord was so panicked, and his panic-stricken performance won a lot of people's laughter and happiness for a while. After all, the "Humphrey" played by the Blood Demon Lord rarely suffered a setback, but every time he was frustrated, it was inevitably accompanied by such a praised performance.

And now, Tracy has even begun to threaten the Blood Demon Lord with the "White Cod Administration" for his reluctance. Obviously, the Blood Demon Lord also knows that if he does not carry out his orders, the "White Cod Administration" may be his next office.

"Aren't you in charge of the security department? Or should we put someone else in charge?"

The threat in Tracys' next sentence was even more obvious, but the Blood Demon Lord did not immediately agree even at this point.

"Go talk to her privately and come to a 'gentleman's agreement'."

"But she's not a gentleman! She's not even a 'lady'!"

But in the end, the Blood Demon Lord had no choice but to agree. And you can imagine how troublesome and difficult it is to deal with a woman that even elites like the Blood Demon Lord don't want to face.

What kind of strange woman is this? Almost all the audience are curious, and when the scene changes, everyone sees a Carters girl with long white ears.

"Look, I'm on stage."

On Chen Qi's side, Shuang Xing and Xi were sitting on either side. When she saw the character she played appear on the stage, this cold-faced girl showed a look of pride.

Yes, Chen Qi asked Shuang Xing to play the role of "Agnes". Although this character is not very likable, Chen Qi feels that Shuang Xing's strong personality and the scar on her nose, which makes her look beautiful and tough when she has a cold face, are very suitable for this role.

Shuang Xing was not angry about being assigned a role that was not very likable. On the contrary, she was quite dedicated. As soon as she appeared on the stage, the feeling of a strong woman came to the fore. When almost all the audience saw Shuang Xing appear, their first reaction was that this woman was really hard to mess with.

For a moment, in the play, the Blood Demon Lord, who is powerful enough to defeat a hundred Frost Stars, is cowering like a cat in front of Frost Star. As an immortal, the Blood Demon Lord can control his aura freely. On the contrary, Frost Star looks strong, but in fact his realm is far inferior to that of the Blood Demon Lord.

In the play, after the awkward introduction, Lord Blood Demon immediately started talking to Frost Star, trying to reach a consensus with local government representatives like Frost Star, saying:

"Obviously, you have your own way of governing the country, but I think we both agree that it's fundamentally about maintaining order and government authority."

"——That's half right." However, Froststar responded coldly. The Blood Demon Lord couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Half?"

"You agree, but I don't."

Afterwards, before the Blood Demon Lord could even say anything, Froststar forcefully took over the right to speak and said decisively: "Obviously, you used the current system to make laws in order to use the government's authority to protect your privileges."

Frost Star revealed the thoughts of the elite civil servant like the Blood Demon Lord in just one sentence, showing no mercy at all, and said the next moment:

“But what about the homeless, the unemployed, the poor and the infected?”

It has begun, the shield is being put up! Using the vulnerable groups as a shield to occupy the moral high ground!

However, Frost Star's remarks immediately aroused the vigilance of all the high-level officials watching from Terra Continent. As soon as Frost Star opened her mouth, the high-level officials of various countries had already understood that this woman who claimed to be righteous was actually quite hypocritical. Her seemingly reasonable remarks were actually all to protect her own interests and enhance her own voice.

But there is nothing that can be done about it, as for those people she mentioned, they will just fall for it.

This is really a troublesome woman... Kal'tsit also thought so at this moment. Beside Kal'tsit, Amiya seemed to have not noticed the danger yet. She nodded frequently in agreement, as if she thought what Froststar said was right.

Chapter 144: A microcosm of local officials in "Yes, Prime Minister"

"Well, she is indeed a difficult woman. She knows very well how to disguise herself and how to make herself part of the people who support her."

In Longmen, Wei Yanwu, who also watched "Yes, Prime Minister" regularly, watched it in the mansion with younger generations such as Chen Huijie. This time, after seeing "Agnes" played by Shuangxing, Wei Yanwu, as a veteran politician, also sensed the difficulty of this woman from a simple sentence.

"He is very ambitious, extreme in his methods, uncompromising, and uses dangerous tactics. He is indeed a troublemaker."

"Old Wei? What are you talking about? I think what the white rabbit said is quite right."
