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

"Supervisor exam?"

“Does it select students?”

However, none of these issues are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education. Therefore, the Blood Demon Lord does not seem to have sufficient basis to verify his view that "the Ministry of Education is useful."

Even the provision of education funds can be handled by the Ministry of Finance, without the need for 2,000 civil servants to distribute money from A to B. As for the regulations established by the Ministry of Education, there are not many at all, and the Ministry of Environment can do it.

Even when it comes to assessing development plans, staff changes, student source changes, and planning urban and rural school density, most schools have to solve these problems on their own, and the Ministry of Education has never helped. Even the current state of education in Victoria was not planned by the Ministry of Education.

These questions left the Blood Demon Lord speechless. He understood it all, but he also knew that all this could not be broken because of this. In order to protect the interests of his colleagues who are also civil servants, and to prevent the fire of "abolition of the department" in the future from burning himself, he had to stop all this from happening.

"If it wasn't for the false news that the wood from the academy was stolen, I'm afraid even Humphrey and Arnold wouldn't have any good solutions, right?"

Wei Yanwu watched the end of this episode, when Manfred told the helpless Blood Demon Lord the news. The school that the Prime Minister had just publicly praised was not only stealing, but even the chair given to the Prime Minister was made of stolen wood. If this matter were to be made public, Tracy's prestige would plummet, not to mention any education reform.

"Well, this proves what Humphrey said before. Who can tell whether a school is good or bad?"

The end of an episode of "Yes, Prime Minister" also made Wei Yanwu feel a lot more relaxed. However, Chen Huijie on the side frowned and asked in a low voice:

"Why did something like this suddenly happen in that school? Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"

"Well, Xiao Chen, you have to think about it yourself. Some things may just be coincidences. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that they are designed coincidences."

Wei Yanwu also took a puff of his cigarette, then relayed his own views and said with a smile: "I think that even if there is no such coincidence, such a policy will definitely not be implemented."

"Why?" Chen Huijie asked curiously. For a moment, Wei Yanwu was watched by all the young men. With his vanity rising, he immediately put on a profound look and answered:

"Because Huck in the play still violated the interests of civil servants. And you didn't realize that this was not the first time Huck violated the interests of civil servants, but every time he did this, he never succeeded once?"

"Moreover, even Bernard, who received the news, informed Humphrey first instead of informing the prime minister immediately. Obviously, he also sided with the interests of civil servants on this issue. With the two holders of the highest civil service power working together, can the prime minister really implement any strategy?"

"So, even if there hadn't been this accident, Bernard and Humphrey would have definitely looked for other loopholes in that school. Basically, if they wanted to look, wouldn't they be afraid of not finding some school scandal to achieve the same effect?"

Wei Yanwu said this, tapping his pipe, looking at the thoughtful young men, and smiled faintly:

"There is no such thing as an accident. It is just an inevitable result. Humphrey is at a loss. He just hasn't thought of it yet."

But even if it wasn't designed this way, Humphrey would definitely have thought of it, because Bernard would definitely help Humphrey think of it. Even Arnold, played by the Scavenger King, had already thought of it, but he just kicked the ball to Humphrey and let him think about it himself. After all, he couldn't trouble him, a former cabinet secretary, for everything.

But if Humphrey was really at a loss, Arnold would definitely help. By then, with three people at the pinnacle of the Victorian civil service system working together, would they still be afraid that they could not stop Huck?

"However, this also reflects another thing - Humphrey is increasingly unable to control his prime minister."

"I guess that by the end of the next episode, Prime Minister Harker will be able to defeat Humphrey for the last time."

"Hmm? Why is Chief Wei so sure?" Chen Huijie blinked and asked curiously, but Wei Yanwu smiled profoundly and replied:

"Because of checks and balances, Xiao Chen. Whoever Bernard helps is more likely to win. Since he has helped Humphrey in this episode, he will definitely try his best to be loyal to the Prime Minister in the next episode to ensure his position."

Wei Yanwu's pretentious look also made Chen Huijie fall into deep thought. Wen Yue, who was standing aside, looked at the uncle and nephew, whose relationship had been somewhat restored due to Tallulah's return, and smiled with satisfaction.

In Londinium, Theresa had also summarized all the contents of this episode. She looked at the points she had written down in her hands, including the advantages and disadvantages of Victoria's education. She had recorded everything that was mentioned in this episode.

"Director Chen Qi... is really using this method to help us. In the end, it can even be said that there is no reason to reverse the situation. But in order to tell us so much knowledge, he chose to list all these points."

Theresa and Wei Yanwu had completely different feelings, perhaps because Chen Qi had promised her that he would focus on education issues in the new episode of "Yes, Prime Minister". At that time, Theresa felt that Chen Qi deliberately chose this topic to help her and wrote the script for this episode on the spur of the moment.

And now, the final twist of this episode, compared with the previous episodes, has a very obvious and awkward part. This made Theresa more certain that Chen Qi temporarily modified the content of this episode's script in order to help her.

Otherwise, based on her understanding of Chen Qi's talents, he would definitely choose a better way to turn things around...if he was given enough time.

Looking at the paper in her hand, which was filled with words, Theresa couldn't help but reveal an extremely gentle smile on her face, muttering to herself:

"Don't worry, Director Chen Qi... We will never forget your help to our family and to me."

"You don't have to worry about this awarding ceremony. My brother and I, as well as our Sarkaz clan, will definitely let everyone in this world know that you are the one we are watching and protecting."

As for the issue of education, Theresa, who now has a general idea of ​​what to do, will naturally let the central government be directly responsible for education issues in the future, rather than delegating it to local governments. Victoria made such a mistake because such a system is deeply rooted and cannot be changed, but the Sarkaz will not do so.

All order in Kazdel needs to be re-established, so as long as the correct route is determined from the beginning, the Sarkaz will not follow Victoria's old path on some issues.

Theresa has even worked out a method, which is that the contents praised in "Yes, Prime Minister" will be retained after Kazdel's restoration, while the contents satirized in it will be done in the exact opposite way from the beginning of the restoration!

Theresa's eyes radiated hope like never before. She could vaguely see that the restoration of Kazdel and the revival of the Sarkaz clan were just around the corner!

Chapter 161: The content of the drama can satirize you no matter what era it is

After the penultimate episode of "Yes, Prime Minister" ended, all countries gained some insights from this educational film. Facing the content of the last episode that was being played after a short break, Kal'tsit couldn't help but sigh:

"It's already the last episode... It looks like this is the end of my chance to learn from TV dramas, Amiya."

"I have recorded some knowledge points you can learn from these two seasons. You can also read them in your spare time. These should be very helpful to you."

"Hehe, even if Dr. Kal'tsit didn't say it, I would definitely take the time to review it." Although Amiya felt sorry that "Yes, Prime Minister" was about to end, she still liked this drama from the bottom of her heart.

It’s not that Amiya likes politics, but she likes the spirit of self-deprecation and satire conveyed in the play - although this play was not created by the Victorians themselves, Amiya still feels that in today's land, there are too few people with such spirit and courage.

"It seems that you prefer this teaching method, Amiya." Kal'tsit's reaction to Amiya was expected. Amiya was slightly stunned when she heard it, and then immediately explained:

"No, it's not that I don't like your teaching method, Dr. Kal'tsit!"

"No need to explain, Amiya, this is human nature, and I must admit that this method is more beneficial to you." Kal'tsit was not jealous at all. She, the "teacher" who had taught Amiya for so many years, was snatched away by Chen Qi. She said lightly:

"On the contrary, I admire Director Chen Qi for being able to convey his ideas in this way. If everyone could use this peaceful method to solve problems, then perhaps many disasters would not have to happen."

For example, Agor or something… Kal'tsit also said something in her heart, not knowing whether she was lamenting the many disasters on this land, or something else. In the end, she and Amiya's eyes returned to the show, now the last episode of "Yes, Prime Minister".

The content of the last episode does not seem to be as sharp as the previous topics. Tracy's character Huck is in a better situation this time than in any previous time. He is complacent about his excellent performance in dealing with the questioning of the House of Commons. Even when faced with the sudden question of "whether the phone calls of MPs were tapped", he answered it perfectly.

"Although I attach great importance to the opinions of the House of Commons, I must admit that I am unwilling to listen to a word of what the honorable members say unless it is necessary for my work."

Manfred imitated the tone of voice that Tracy used when speaking in the House of Commons at that time. This answer can be said to be quite perfect. It not only denied the "wiretapping of MPs' phones", but also insulted the House of Commons for being so suspicious - don't take yourself so seriously. If it's not for work, who would listen to you?

However, Lord Blood Demon soon discovered that there was something wrong with this answer - because the incident of "eavesdropping on parliamentarians" did exist.

However, the information revealed by the Blood Demon Lord surprised the senior officials of various countries, especially the officials of Ursus, Yan Kingdom and Casimir, because the recent turmoil in these three countries can be said to be relatively large.

However, it is different in Yan State. The reason is that the emperor has ordered investigations into the six ministries several times, as well as the recent news of strict reconciliation, have frightened many well-hidden corrupt officials in the six ministries.

As for Ursus, should we say it was a surprise? The old nobles’ expedition against Victoria ended in failure, and the new nobles eventually took advantage of this opportunity to seize some of the right to speak. Now, the situation within Ursus is that the old nobles and the new nobles have actually formed a subtle balance of power - both sides have their own troops and power, but neither can defeat the other.

However, in order to confirm their own legitimacy, although the new and old nobles had their own troops, no one dared to be the traitor. At this time, the new emperor, who had never had much say, unexpectedly became the object of contention between the two factions.

Because only when the emperor supports you can you say that your side is legitimate and that the other side's actions are rebellion. By chance, this little emperor, who had no power since the death of the previous emperor, actually gained some power.

Therefore, after Ursus's failure in its westward expedition to Victoria, Ursus did not collapse. However, the balance of power led to tension between the two sides, and they were more worried about the possibility of their intelligence being eavesdropped by the other side.

As for Casimir, apart from anything else, the National Council and the Chamber of Commerce are even more afraid of the possibility of eavesdropping - especially since the Supervisory Board has been eerily quiet recently. Although the turmoil caused by Eureka has been kept to a minimum by them, they do not think that the Supervisory Board knows nothing.

Everything said in "Yes, Prime Minister" has now been taken for granted as "true" because of Victoria's previous experience. Now, "Yes, Prime Minister" has revealed the news of wiretapping of MPs, which has to make those guilty of the crime think more.

"So, are we really going to do that?"

"If we don't do this, how can we survive? The Supervisory Commission must know everything now. Only by completely discrediting the Supervisory Commission and letting it take all the blame can we protect everything we have!"

"At present, only Director Chen Qi can make the Supervisory Commission take the blame for all this - let those knights who have leverage in our hands wear the silver spear Pegasus armor we made to assassinate Chen Qi. Regardless of whether they succeed or not, everyone will think that this is the instruction of the Supervisory Commission!"

After all, only the Supervisory Committee was qualified to mobilize the Silver Spear Pegasus. Now, relying on those knights who had leverage over them, they could wear the imitation Silver Spear Pegasus armor and ambush Chen Qi on his way to Columbia.

The consequences of Chen Qi's attack on Casimir can be imagined. By then, the Chamber of Commerce, in coordination with some knights whose faith is shattered and who are filled with righteous indignation, can completely overthrow the Supervisory Commission and make Casimir a country ruled by these people!

And Chen Qi didn't know that in the last episode of "Yes, Prime Minister", the entry point of "eavesdropping on MPs" alone directly led to a group of frightened people taking actions against him. But even if he knew it, he didn't care much.

Back to the show, Lord Blood Demon informed Tracy that what he said in the House of Commons that "there was no wiretapping of the MPs' conversations" was a complete lie. Tracy did not know that they were really wiretapping the MPs' conversations, and he also defended himself:

"But I didn't do it on purpose. I never deliberately mislead the House of Commons. You can't blame me. I didn't know about it."

"Prime Minister, people think you know, so you should be held responsible." This time, Manfred seemed to have chosen to stand on the side of the Blood Demon Lord, and expressed his opinion on the Prime Minister's behavior of jumping to conclusions without knowing the truth.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Tracy asked.

"—perhaps the Minister of the Interior did not feel it necessary to inform you, because he probably did not know either."

The Blood Demon Lord also said without hiding anything that sometimes the government would deliberately not tell the Prime Minister some news in order to prevent the cabinet from being suspicious of each other. Therefore, they would only inform the Prime Minister when the Prime Minister [needs] to know the situation.

"Prime Minister, the system can work perfectly if the prime minister first informs the civil servants what he wants to say, and then the civil servants can say it publicly."

"But if he says anything without checking with us first, then he has it to himself—you can't say anything without checking with us."

"With all due respect, Prime Minister, you have to learn to be cautious. There is always something to be cautious about in government."

The Blood Demon Lord also gave Tracy a rare warning, asking him not to make the same mistake again next time. Tracy, who was now embarrassed and didn't want to go to the House of Commons to correct his statement, could only shirk responsibility and said, "But I don't think there is anything to be cautious about in the government?"

"Besides, why did we bug Halifax (the minister whose phone call was bugged)? Was he having an affair with Ursus?"

"No, it's with Gaul. This is much more serious." The Blood Demon Lord answered Tracys' question seriously. Tracys couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Why?"

"——The Ursus people already know everything about us."

“Hahahahahaha!”

Obviously, this was well known at the time. How Victoria was infiltrated during the heyday of Ursus was mentioned in the first season of "Yes, Prime Minister". Most of the audience watched the first season, so they naturally knew this.

After a brief silence, Teresis continued to ask: "But Gaul is our reliable ally in the fight against Ursus?"

"No, Prime Minister." In response, Lord Blood Demon analyzed seriously, "In fact, Gaul is our suspicious ally. In view of this, direct dialogue with Gaul is considered treason by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We are authorized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to eavesdrop."

"After all, too much talk leads to mistakes, don't you think? Prime Minister - about everything."

After admonishing Tracys, Lord Blood Demon also discussed the questioning of the House of Commons with Manfred in private. Obviously, Lord Blood Demon did not want to speak for their prime minister who was prone to speak too much. After all, the House of Commons had its own way to confirm such mistakes.

Even though everyone knew that Lord Blood Demon, a powerful cabinet secretary, must know more than the Prime Minister, if Lord Blood Demon said that Tracys was right, everyone in the House of Commons might believe the Prime Minister's words, but Lord Blood Demon did not want to leave himself such a handle.

"By the way, Bernard, VBC (formerly BBC, British Broadcasting Corporation) called this morning."

"VBC knows everything?" When Manfred mentioned this, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but the Blood Demon Lord replied calmly:

"Of course not, they want me to go on a live interview show on Radio 3 to talk about the structure of government."

However, the Blood Demon Lord's nonchalant attitude made Manfred feel very uneasy, especially since Manfred had suffered a loss from a reporter in the previous plot. He was very worried that the Blood Demon Lord would repeat his mistake, so he immediately advised:

"Perhaps they want you to speak?"

“… That’s what radio usually does.”

Of course, Lord Blood Demon also understood what Manfred meant. After all, this kind of program generally wants to talk about some explosive and controversial topics, but Lord Blood Demon still insisted on participating in the program.

"Of course it's not out of selfishness, not because I want to be a teacher or want to become famous, but one should not be too humble."

However, these words coming out of the mouth of Humphrey, played by Lord Blood Demon, really made the audience laugh - it can be said that these characteristics of the character of Humphrey even influenced the actor Lord Blood Demon, making him like this feeling of being a teacher.

"People like us shouldn't show up in public, right?" Manfred saw that the Blood Demon Lord had made up his mind, and this was the last time he reminded him, but the Blood Demon Lord still insisted:

“You don’t need to show up to be on the radio.”

"Besides, if they say I won't go, Arnold has promised to go."

"-Maybe that's better." Manfred said it without thinking much, but as soon as he said it, he was almost immediately met with a death stare from the Blood Demon Lord as if he wanted to eat him!

At this moment, the Blood Demon Lord's slightly terrifying expression filled with disbelief was expressed vividly - this was the Blood Demon Lord's true reaction. Humphrey hated it most when someone said he was not as good as Arnold, and the Blood Demon Lord was the same. He hated it most when someone said that their Blood Demon clan was not as good as other kings in the royal court.

Especially the Scavenger King, he can be regarded as one of the oldest beings in the royal court today, even older than the Blood Demon Lord. Because of his role, the Blood Demon Lord had to be timid in front of the Scavenger King several times, and was extremely unhappy when someone said that the Scavenger King was better than him.

"Arnold?! For myself, I'd rather not go!"

"But my sense of duty won't allow me to sit back and watch Arnold be held up as an example of an excellent public servant!"

"Haha, your cultivation is still shallow. The more you fear being told that you are not as good as someone else, the more you know deep down that you are not as good as that person."

However, at this moment, Wei Yanwu couldn't help but find it funny when he saw the Blood Demon Lord's frustrated look. The Blood Demon Lord's reaction reminded him of his brother - he and the current Blood Demon Lord were actually very similar. They both knew that they were not as good as their opponent, so they were most afraid of being pointed out.

However, Wei Yanwu's mumbling was heard by several black-capped people around him. After looking at each other, they couldn't help but say:

"…Should we tell Commander Wei? The people from the imperial court should be arriving at Longmen soon, right?"

"Fortunately, the people from the imperial court have not arrived yet, otherwise Chief Wei's words would probably displease His Majesty."

Several black-capped soldiers were still frightened, but they couldn't help but sympathize with Wei Yanwu in their hearts - because they all knew that after this episode was over, their leader would probably have to face the troubles of their "jealous brother".

However... all the black soldiers felt a little guilty, because what the Blood Demon Lord said on TV just now, "The government will deliberately not tell the Prime Minister the news in order to avoid suspicion"... seemed to correspond to what they are doing now.

At this moment, all the haters think that "Yes, Prime Minister" is truly a "treasure on earth". Even if the political system is different, people can still find ways to satirize you.

Should we say that this is a work that deserves the title of "Half of a Uighur drama rules the world"? This indiscriminate AOE damage is really terrifying.

Chapter 162: Are you really learning how to govern a country from watching TV dramas?

"This is my first time to come to Londinium to watch the TV series "Yes, Prime Minister"... But, aren't you guys a bit off the mark? Do you really think you can learn anything from this show?"

And in Londinium, a group of guests came here today. The heroic Duke of Windermere came to Londinium with the special armed "grey hat" that the Duke of Castor asked to follow him. She came for Chen Qi, because tomorrow is the awarding ceremony for Chen Qi by the Sarkaz clan, and the Duke of Windermere and Wellington will also thank and award Chen Qi on behalf of Victoria.

Yes, they also prepared an honor for Chen Qi, and like Theresa and her brother and sister, Victoria also planned to give Chen Qi a lordship. Although Victoria's lordship was not as important as Kazdel's, it was still a gesture of goodwill.

In addition, Victoria also prepared a thank you gift for Chen Qi for filming the second season of Yes, Prime Minister. Although the Grand Dukes debated for a long time, in the end, "that" was the most suitable gift to give away... because it would not be suitable for any of them, and it would be better to give it to Director Chen Qi instead of letting the demon clan find it - anyway, it would probably be useless for him to take it.
