After many years, Xiao Letian still didn't understand why Prince Edward showed such kindness to him. Is it really his nature?
From morning to now, Xiao Letian has been squeezed out by Benjamin over and over again. It is the established strategy of Benjamin's cabinet to support Zai Chun and suppress him. It goes without saying that this is a destined enemy. Xiao Letian has long been mentally prepared.
But he never expected that as the Crown Prince, Prince Edward would actually extend an olive branch to him at this moment. Could it be that there is already a deep rift between the royal family and this cabinet?
It shouldn't be. Edward can't understand the overall situation clearly. Even if he and Benjamin have conflicts, he is still the crown prince of the British Empire. How could he show kindness to me, an outsider?
Could it be that the royal family’s judgment on the world situation has changed? Or is Fang Guan’s diplomatic breakthrough effective?
The answers are nothing more than the following. One answer is that the royal family has made great changes and adjustments to the British domestic policy. Perhaps Benjamin is no longer suitable for this change.
Another possibility is that Britain's foreign policy has also changed, and Benjamin has also become a stumbling block.
The third possibility is that Fangguan was obsessed with the crown prince. Anyway, the crown prince has a lot of romantic reputation in history. There are rumors that he is actually Churchill's biological father.
Can you believe it? Churchill's biological mother had been Prince Edward's mistress.
American girl Jenny was born in a Wall Street speculator family. She lived freely in the affluent area of Brooklyn, New York. The superior family conditions from an early age cultivated her elegant aristocratic temperament.
But this temperament was just a stepping stone for her to open the door to the true aristocracy. After she went to London at the age of 19, she immediately became a famous social butterfly, and Prince Edward fell under his pomegranate skirt.
There are many legends about the mystery of Churchill's ancestry in England, and many people have provided evidence to prove their judgment. For example, Churchill and Prince Edward are very similar in appearance and figure, especially the famous bucket waist.
On the contrary, Churchill and his father have very different appearances, which makes it easy for people to make random guesses.
More importantly, Churchill's official career was so smooth that he seemed to naturally gain the trust of the British royal family. During World War II, the royal family did not refute any of Churchill's decisions.
Perhaps, the royal family has long known Churchill's identity. If Churchill is really a bloodline of Edward VII, then he is one generation higher than King George VI of England during World War II.
In human society, blood relatives are always trustworthy. Especially in times of national crisis, the royal family will naturally trust people who are connected by blood.
There are too many secrets in history. Churchill's mother was American and her mother's family had very extensive connections in the United States, which naturally made him favored by the United States.
During World War II, Churchill's request for military assistance from the United States was basically not rejected, which shows that most of the United States' political investment in British politics was on him.
With the support of Americans and the pure blood of the British royal family, wouldn't it be unreasonable for such a person not to be promoted or to take charge of the country? If the power is not given to him, why should it be given to irrelevant outsiders?
"Yuan? Yuan... Mr. Xiao? Mr. Xiao..." Prince Edward's call awakened Xiao Letian from his fantasy. He suddenly turned his head, "Oh... oh... I'm really sorry, I was fascinated by this luxurious carriage. Stop it, I’m really out of control..."
Xiao Letian secretly thought, don't think too much, how could a crown prince ignore the interests of the country for the sake of women? The answer must be the first and second. It must be that the British royal family has the idea of adjusting its domestic and foreign policies.
This is a major signal and must be taken seriously!
At this time, Zai Chun excitedly said to Xiao Letian, "Master, have you seen the light-colored spliced wood on this armrest? Oh my God! This is a branch from the apple tree that hit Newton on the head!"
"And this piece of wood, which is a piece of ship deck taken from the HMS Victory at Trafalgar, said to be soaked in the blood of General Nelson..."
"There is also this piece of wood, which is said to be the rudder of the ship that the legendary King William the Conqueror sailed on when he crossed the sea to conquer England...and here, here, here...are all decks left behind after the retirement of famous British warships. It’s spliced together!”
Xiao Letian was stunned. He couldn't help but reach out and touch the spliced wood. Under the warm paint, he could clearly feel the beating pulse of British history.
"Really...really the apple tree that hit Newton?" Xiao Letian asked in shock.
Prince Edward said with great pride, "Yes, that apple tree has become a national treasure of the British Empire. This piece of wood was cut from that tree... and the decks of famous battleships in the past are also real!"
Xiao Letian said with mixed emotions, "Zai Chun! Sir Newton is buried in Westminster Abbey. I think we will have the opportunity to pay our respects in the afternoon. History records that on the day Newton was buried, the streets of England were empty, and the two Dukes and three There was an earl and an officer who carried the coffin for the knight..."
"You can imagine the scene at that time. How much this is a country that respects knowledge and science! On the other hand, in China, has any nobleman ever carried a coffin for science in history? Haha... don't use those fancy skills. The life of a clever person is already considered to have a conscience..."
"There is a reason why China has made it difficult to recover!"
Prince Edward was moved by what he said. The story of Sir Newton's burial was not a major event recorded in history, and few people in Europe knew the details.
Unexpectedly, today I would hear from an Easterner that piece of history that makes all British people proud!
Maybe this is Xiao Letian trying to flatter Britain, but you can't deny that this kind of flattery is so sincere that no one can refuse it.
Zai Chun said with bright eyes, "That's right, master, I didn't come to Europe just to play. I just want to experience Europe's powerful original power, grasp the essence of this power, and bring it back to the Qing Dynasty..."
"I want to thank you, my teacher! If you hadn't opened this door for me, I, a prisoner in the Forbidden City, might not even be able to leave the Forbidden City in this life..."
"I would also like to thank the warm British Empire. Chinese people believe that knowing shame can lead to courage. Although our two countries have had frictions and conflicts, I do not hide hatred in my heart. On the contrary, I think this is your encouragement to China... …”
"Only when we know the pain and shame can we have the motivation to make progress!"
"Here, I ask the UK to open its mind and allow me to truly learn the essence of European civilization. I also hope that you can help me realize my ideal of reviving the Qing Dynasty!"
"The world is very big, with countless wealth. As long as the Qing Dynasty and Great Britain can join hands, I believe that the relationship between us is not just competition, but more about win-win cooperation and the common pursuit of wealth and happiness!"
