After the reform of the official system, the work efficiency of the Quel'Thalas government has been significantly improved.

The next morning, Kael'thas finished washing and changing clothes with the help of the royal servants. Not long after he came to sit down in his private office, one of the consultants knocked on his office door in a slight hurry.

"Please come in."

Looking at the voting results handed to the desk by the consultant, Kael'thas showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"Inform Foreign Minister Calpurnia and ask her to inform the ambassadors of Quel'Thalas' attitude towards the Battle of Alterac."

The advisor hurriedly bowed his head and accepted the order: "Your will."

As the number of officials in the cabinet gradually increased, the burden on Kael'thas' shoulders was relieved.

As Sharlayan said, as the leader of a country, Kael'thas does not need to do everything personally. The affairs of the entire country cannot be completed by him alone.

As the Sun King, what Kael'thas needs to do is to put the right people in the right positions and understand the essence of knowing people and making good use of them. He only needs to be responsible for the final decision.

The smile on Kael'thas's face quickly faded when another advisor brought in a voting resolution that had been rejected by the cabinet.

Looking at the words "Deep Educational Reform" on the cover, Kael'thas sighed helplessly.

"Hey~ In Saryan's words, the reform has not yet been successful, comrades still need to work hard, and there is a long way to go."



Sharlayan was away working for the future of Quel'Thalas, while Kael'thas was sitting in the Sunstrider Court, working hard to deepen reforms.

Educational reform is related to the future of Quel'Thalas. Only by breaking the high-end education monopolized by the nobles can we expand the country's talent selection scope and fundamentally solve the problem of noble corruption and the inability to get rid of the big ones.

Kael'thas did not intend to completely veto the feudal aristocratic system. His original intention was to put a little pressure on the nobles who were accustomed to resting on the merits of their ancestors.

Educational reform can indeed benefit civilians, allowing ordinary people to have the opportunity to receive high-end education and obtain the qualifications to become high-ranking officials in Quel'Thalas.

But to be fair, the connections and resources controlled by nobles are by no means comparable to that of ordinary people.

Even if the two are on the same starting line in terms of education, children of nobles can still have an advantage when it comes to the selection and appointment of senior officials.

No matter in any era or in any country, human relations are unavoidable, and even countries that boast of civilization and progress are not immune.

According to Sarlayan, in the era of feudal aristocracy, even the king could not break the underlying rules jointly established by all aristocrats.

Because the king is also a member of the aristocratic system and is the largest aristocrat in the country.

No matter how excessively weakening the power of the nobility, to some extent, it is also weakening its own authority.

Opening up people's intelligence is destined to be a long process. It is obviously unrealistic to expect a large number of high-end civilian talents to emerge within three or two years.

On the contrary, the aristocratic children who feel threatened by the common people will change their previous bad habits of living in a dream, and under the pressure of the pursuers behind them, they will work harder to maintain their status and provide the country with more available talents in disguise.

Even while traveling abroad, Saryan did not relax his focus on the country.

Stella Gosa, the chief secretary of Earl of Deep Shadow, would regularly write down the changes in the domestic political situation in letters and send them to Tina Gosa, who would then forward them to Sharlayan for review.

The establishment of junior colleges cannot threaten the nobility's monopoly on high-end talents, but the same is not true for intermediate and senior colleges.

In the eyes of many nobles, Kael'thas' move was to shake the foundation of the aristocratic system and distribute their privileges to those lowly idiots.

So of course, a large number of nobles in Quel'Thalas united to resist the in-depth educational reform plan launched by Kael'thas and resisted the establishment of intermediate and advanced colleges for all people.

But it’s the same as Sarlayan’s previous analysis of Kael’thas.

Under the premise that the old nobles were declining and the meritorious nobles were continuously beaten by Sarlayan, not all nobles jumped out to take the lead. There were also many families with a longer-term vision and a more cautious attitude that chose to wait and see.

In any case, Kael'thas's in-depth education reform plan is still in tatters and may not pass the cabinet vote in the short term.

After all, most of the cabinet ministers were born in aristocratic families, with huge family power standing behind them. Sometimes they themselves had no choice but to consider the interests of the family.

At the same time that Sharlayan received Kael'thas's reply, Quel'Thalas' official statement happened to spread to Alterac, which also triggered uneasy discussions among the top leaders of the Kingdom of Alterac.

Coincidentally, the top leaders of the Kingdom of Lordaeron were also involved in a heated debate because of Quel'Thalas' sudden public statement.

Terenas was furious. I had just gathered all my strength to exert my strength, and you, Quel'Thalas, suddenly discouraged me. What do you mean?

Contrary to the angry Terenas, the peace faction forces in Lordaeron headed by the Prime Minister took the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Even with Princess Calia as a transit point, the arguments for several days gave Terenas a splitting headache.

It was only then that Terenas could clearly understand the meaning of the saying that time is not forgiving. He once again fell into the endless cycle of not cultivating Alsace's successor early and being suspicious of his children's seizure of national power.

Terenas, who was once young and powerful, was a model king in the eyes of Arthas and Calia. When Arthas was a child, he often said proudly that he would become a wise king like his father when he grew up.

But as Terenas gets older, he still clings to power. The stubbornness unique to the elderly makes him make many incredible wrong decisions. Naturally, his growing children's evaluation of him is deteriorating. .

During the time when Prince Arthas was supervising the country, he initially had the idea of ​​​​making great efforts to govern and correct some of Terenas' wrong decisions.

However, because the young and energetic Prince Arthas did not control his personal emotions well enough, he mistakenly followed Terenas's original decision and stepped on the accelerator to death, continuing to put pressure on Quel'Thalas to the limit.

However, Arthas is not as sophisticated as Terenas. When putting pressure on Quel'Thalas, he can operate in multiple threads and take into account government affairs in other directions.

Due to the delay in Terenas' important plan to seize the Kingdom of Stromgard, the awakened Terenas angrily ordered Arthas to shut himself up and reflect on his mistakes, and did not allow him to participate in any political decisions.

Because Arthas made random decisions, the influence of the Menethil royal family suffered a certain loss, and the ministers became increasingly suspicious of the Menethil family's ability to govern the country.

Folk rumors originating from unknown sources have been spreading widely throughout Lordaeron recently.

If this strange father and son were allowed to continue to ruin Lordaeron, sooner or later the honorary title of the first kingdom of mankind would be given away to them.

The internal political struggle in Lordaeron inevitably affected the morale of the frontline soldiers.

With the situation at the rear still unclear, even the bellicose Dathrohan did not dare to lead his troops into battle at this juncture.

To be promoted all the way to the position of deputy leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand, Dathrohan's political awareness is definitely not bad.

If you take action rashly and get on the wrong side of this internal dispute, you will definitely face a brutal reckoning later.

As the saying goes, too many mistakes lead to too many mistakes. Before the two forces in the upper echelons of Lordaeron could decide the winner, Uther ordered the entire army to stop attacking and quietly stay in the camp.

After more than a month of fighting, Icewind Post finally ushered in temporary peace. It was at this time that Sarlayan received a letter from Valeera from Steinblad.

The new king of Alterac, Yintherton Perenold, will summon the Sun King's envoy, Count Sharlayan Deepshadow, to the palace of Steinblade.

Although Valeera did not mention the purpose of Yin Seden's invitation in detail in her letter, you can guess with your armpits that it must be related to Quel'Thalas' recent stance on the Alterac war.

Yin Seton's summons this time definitely not only represents Alterac's position. Gilneas, Dalaran, Stromgarde and Kul Tiras also hope to take this opportunity to understand Quel'Thalas's intentions. Why did they suddenly change their stance of fully supporting Alterac?

"Alex, I leave the contact with Andorhal to you. Continue to maintain the secret support of the Lord Harmony Faction in Lordaeron, and don't let Terenas discover any clues about our activities behind the scenes."

Sarlayan turned into a sharp-tailed swift and stood on the wall on the top floor of Barov Castle. He said with deep eyes: "After this trip to Steinblade is over, I plan to risk a trip to Lordaeron and see him. That Princess White Rose, understand her position and demands in person."
