The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1929

Chapter 1929: Chapter 960: The Obsessive Baby-Boasting Maniac (Dragon and Phoenix Twins Extra)

Ever since Xiao Hen took over the cabinet, he has always been high-profile in handling affairs and low-profile in personal conduct. He saves on formalities wherever possible and never puts on airs.

But today, for the first time ever, is the Prime Minister actually planning to call each one into his room for a talk?

The two Vice Ministers, three Grand Academicians of the Cabinet, and several Secretariat Officers all gathered outside the Prime Minister’s Intermediate Hall, puzzled by today’s proceedings.

"Is it because we’ve committed some recent offense and been caught?" asked Vice Minister Liu.

He was originally a confidant of Grand Mentor Zhuang. After Zhuang was defeated, Liu defected and sincerely proved himself to His Majesty.

Another Vice Minister with the surname Zhang, due to his severe offences, could not be pardoned even after defecting, and was dismissed and prosecuted. The person who replaced him was surnamed Wu, selected from among the Grand Academicians of the Cabinet.

Vice Minister Wu pondered, "We haven’t committed any offenses recently... Could it be the Prime Minister has discovered I’ve promoted a relative?"

In clear waters there are no fish; no era can guarantee that its officials are completely clean. However, these few people at most have some minor schemes and can’t be seen as the country’s parasites.

On normal days, Xiao Hen would turn a blind eye, and he generally wouldn’t interfere unless things went too far.

"If even the two senior cabinet members don’t understand the situation, then for us—" said the Grand Academician of Wuying Hall, surnamed Kong.

The cabinet has a total of six Grand Academicians, only the Prime Minister and the two Vice Ministers are qualified to be respectfully called cabinet elders. The other three, from Wuying Hall, Wen Yuan Pavilion, and Dong Pavilion, are only referred to as junior cabinet elders.

"Indeed."

"Indeed."

Grand Academicians from Wen Yuan Pavilion and Dong Pavilion nodded in agreement with a sigh.

Vice Minister Liu said, "The three Grand Academicians need not worry, the Prime Minister is not one to be capricious. His summons today must be to inquire about recent official business."

Vice Minister Wu hurriedly responded, "Yes, indeed, since the Prime Minister took office, he has never really had a confrontation with us. Even when things went awry daily, he would lightly remind us. Today... perhaps there’s good news."

"Hopefully, it is so," said Academician Kong.

Not long after, the secretary beside the Prime Minister came out and called Vice Minister Liu in first.

Despite claiming not to be worried, Vice Minister Liu’s face turned pale once he was summoned.

For some reason, he felt the atmosphere today was overly serious.

Has something major actually happened?

Is the Prime Minister going to groom his people, making them secretly pledge allegiance one by one?

If one doesn’t surrender to the Prime Minister, would they be ruthlessly eliminated in secret?
