Chapter 123 Disguise

The ministers dispersed. After the entire conference room was empty, the little girl patted her chest hard and took a deep breath. The almost cold calm on her face disappeared with this movement, revealing the expression she should have at her age.

The small door next to the conference room opened and Rotia walked out of it.

"Good job, your majesty." Rotia was wearing a maid's clothes at this time. So even if someone found out, she would only be understood as a maid. "It's better than I thought! Haha, those guys were so scared that they didn't say a word."

Of course, at a normal meeting, a colleague's little selfishness was exposed - not the kind of straightforward exposing it. Instead, it started with a small problem and slowly extended. The Minister of Commerce tried to get away with it at first, but as a philosopher said, a lie needed more lies to cover up and never ended. In this way, a lie followed by another was exposed by the little queen casually. The Minister of Commerce seemed so stupid and embarrassed afterwards, and some people even thought that the minister was going to the gallows directly.

"It's really tiring." The little girl shook her head a little sadly. This is the way of the king? It's a performance from beginning to end? She performed a completely different queen from the real one. Is everything woven with lies?

"Whether you are tired or not, don't you like all your subordinates to look trembling?" Rotia smiled disconcertedly. "Being a leader, you must make your subordinates feel awe. Especially for a young master like you, you should be more vain and real. As for performance, isn't there an old saying? The world is the stage, and all the actors are actors."

"Why is a queen like this?" the little girl asked.

"Any king is like this." Rotia shrugged. "Do you think someone is born wise and powerful? They are all pretending? Sometimes they are lying to themselves, sometimes they are lying to others. In the end, they become accustomed to it after being disguised for a long time."

The little girl responded softly, then took a sip of water.

Rotia had already explained to her the necessity of "performance". A girl like her would not give people a sense of majesty on the outside. Only through various practical things can people feel scared little by little. The little girl had no idea why Rotia had such theoretical and practical experience, but at least so far, what Rotia said seemed to be correct.

"By the way, do you have any ideas about the prime minister proposed today?" Rotia asked. Rotia attended the whole meeting today, so the matters of all sizes are clear. The little queen temporarily dealt with the past with the words "I'll think about it again" like "I'll think about it again", but this is indeed a relatively important thing in the future.

It must be said that Rotia is a good teacher because she always leaves room for students to think.

"The position of prime minister is very important," said Rotia. "Logically speaking, this is a 'boss agent', the supreme ruler when the king is away. If he is compared to an ordinary gang, it is the position of 'deputy leader'."

After spending more than a month together, the little girl has become accustomed to this kind of analogy of Rotia.

"There are many things to do with choosing a candidate for this position," said Rotia. "The first is to be either qualified or have made impressive achievements in the short term. Both have their own advantages and dangers."

“Why is it dangerous?”

"People with old qualifications usually have many followers, and they are at risk of planning conspiracies and replacing you. For example, this is our Byron. People with outstanding achievements usually have ambitions. In the position of deputy leader, he can easily recruit followers. If the two are combined into one, it is even more dangerous... This is the basic idea." Rotia replied.

"So, what should I do?"

"Ideally, we must find people who are qualified but have no followers, have high grades but have no recruitment of subordinates."

"According to your opinion, it should be the focus of finding those people with no ambitions, right?"

"Haha... There is an old saying, ambition is like a weed, and suitable conditions are born out of evil. Even for those ambitious people themselves, the emergence of ambition is always quietly and unconsciously. Not only that, ambition can be hidden, or even hidden well, and it will not be discovered for thirty or fifty years." Rotia replied. "Many people foolishly think that without ambition now means that they will never have ambition... You must remember that ambition is not born, but must be coordinated by various factors. Civilians have absolutely no plans to subvert the dynasty, and small employees will not want to directly replace the president of the Chamber of Commerce."

She smiled at the little girl.

"A beggar, even if he shouts to rebel every day, the king will never waste a second of paying attention to him. But a general holding a heavy army, even if he shouts to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism every day, the king will be careful. Don't think that the appointment of personnel is a one-time and for all, because everyone is changing. When the previous king was alive, Byron seemed to be a loyal minister, and his obligation to travel was also very active."

"Rotia, then Ashu Rufate..." the little girl hesitated for a long time and finally asked. "Will he change?"

"You are asking him." Rotia showed a serious thoughtful expression. "To be honest, I really can't see through it. When I first met, I thought that man was very unusual."

"What's so unusual?" the little girl asked curiously. She remembered the first meeting with Ashu Rufate. At that time, Ashu Rufate did not leave any good impression on her. What happened later? Before she knew it, she slowly... changed her point of view?

"Well, at that time I felt: that man seemed not an ordinary person, and when I passed by, I naturally revealed a kind of arrogance. The pride that was hidden." Rortiya replied.

"arrogant?"

"Ha, it's just a feeling. Maybe I've seen more people, and I've gradually gained some experience." Rotia said with a smile. "Let's go back to the original topic. What do you think about the candidate for the Prime Minister?"

"It's better to choose an old man." The little girl answered very seriously. "That kind of old man who is old and has high qualifications but does not have a very powerful force."

"Well, the old man. Very good, have his own independent view. Indeed, the old man has little chance of ambition. If he does not have enough power now, it is almost impossible to win over enough gangs in the future. But the old man's problem is that he may not have enough energy to deal with various things, especially in times of crisis." Rotia replied. "However, it is not good to think like this. There is no perfect thing in the world, so it's good to have ideas."

"Is Asu Ruffatt not suitable... to hold this position?"

"He? Of course he is suitable, if he is interested. But he probably doesn't want the position. If he wants it, he is now, right? Would you object?"

The little girl shook her head.

"So that's it. If you like him like this, you will agree to any request he asks. So if he doesn't make a request, it means he wants it even if he doesn't want to..."

"Where do I have it..." The little girl jumped up with a flushed face, "I like him!"

"Oh?" Rotia made a meaningful voice, and looked at the little girl with an expression that seemed to be ridiculous and amazed.

Rotia's eyes moved up and down the little girl's face. This gaze was like a ray of sunshine, which made the little girl's courage and disguise melt instantly like ice and snow. The little girl felt that the hot on her face could boil water, and she unconsciously lowered her head to avoid Rotia's gaze.

"It would be very hard to like that man," Rotia replied. "He is not an ordinary person."

"Why... why do you say that?" the little girl couldn't help asking. To be honest, this question was simply to cover up and completely expose her previous lies. Of course, for people like Rotia, the little girl's disguise was simply the same as non-existent.

"Because the competition will be very fierce," Rotia replied. "To be honest, I used to... no, I should say that I am still fascinated by him. He meets all the expectations in a woman's heart...strong, smart, gentle, rich...look omnipotent and has no prejudice against any woman." She sighed softly. "The last point is the most rare."

"What...what..." This was the first time that the little girl heard such words from Rotia's mouth, and she couldn't help but feel shocked. "You...you too..."

"Haha... Of course I'm lying to you." Rottiya laughed and moved the topic over. "As soon as he said, Ash Rufate would definitely not want the position of Prime Minister. Do you have any other candidates?"

The little girl wanted to speak, but Rotia gently pressed her hands on the little girl's lips, stopping her from talking.

"This is your homework. Think about it carefully, and then think about the reasons, advantages and disadvantages of your choice." Rotia said. "Speaking of this, it seems that Ashu Rufate is coming back soon."

This is not a difficult thing to guess. The real difficult thing to guess is why Asu Rufate, as the Chancellor of the Finance Department, went out for some reason for this inexplicable time. Even the little girl did not know the real reason behind this. Some people even predicted that this was because Asu Rufate did not want to see the tragic ending of the little queen collapsed due to debt.

Fortunately, Ash Rufate had explained all kinds of trivial matters before leaving. He had not had any accidents in the past two months of going out. The debt problem was not something the little queen cared about. In fact, even the little girl herself now didn't know what the debt problem was. Ash Rufate just told her that she had to sell all the wealth in the treasury. But the little girl didn't know what Ash Rufate sold, or where he raised money to deal with these debts. But she didn't worry about this, because Ash Rufate promised her that she would solve the problem. She believed in him so much that she never considered this from head to toe.

Ashu Rufate asked her for all her trust, and she did.

"Okay, my teaching as a tutor ends here today." Rotia clapped her hands. "It's time to go for lunch," she said.

"Rotyya, can I ask a question?" the little girl asked suddenly.

"Oh, of course."

"Why, Ashu Rufat asked you to be my teacher?" the little girl asked.

"Ah, this," Rotia suddenly smiled. "It's actually very simple, because first, this can make him owe me a favor. Second, don't look at me like this now, I... almost become a queen."
