"Okay, okay, no problem."
Facing the monks sent by Archbishop Brandon, Father Fran was very cooperative and didn't look angry at all.
Sending support has two meanings. One is that Father Fran is afraid that he will be alone and unable to protect the town in times of crisis, and the other is that he doubts his identity.
After all, Father Fran believed in Wilder, the goddess of health.
The church's arrangement was very interesting. It rewarded the Manstein family, but placed their territory under the Church of the Goddess of Health. This made it difficult for the Manstein family to develop quietly even if they had a territory.
This is a method of checks and balances. In the current church, Archbishop Brandon walks with arrogance. If he wins the election again, won't he go to heaven?
Replacing Father Fran is a must to completely control the town of Beckensfield. No one can afford to bet on it, even if it's ten thousand.
Of course, considering Father Fran's prestige in the town, it is not possible to replace him directly. Only in a gradual manner can the resistance of the residents be alleviated.
Sending monks to gradually replace Father Fran's position in the town is what Archbishop Brandon wants to do.
Seeing that Father Fran was very cooperative, Levin nodded and asked the mayor to give him a few more instructions about growing herbal medicine, and then hurriedly took the train back to London.
This afternoon, he will attend Miss Helena's equestrian meet!
Nightingale Club, the exclusive lounge for the prince.
Boom!
The butler opened the door, bowed to the eldest prince sitting on the sofa and said, "Your Highness, the fourth prince and Benjamin are here."
The eldest prince stood up, looked at Arthur and Ma Wei who entered the room and smiled: "Welcome! My dear brother, and my good friend Benjamin!"
"Your Highness, you are in a hurry to come to us. Is there something wrong?"
"I want to talk to you about future development, and give you what I have agreed upon in advance."
The eldest prince snapped his fingers, and the housekeeper immediately brought a document and placed it in front of Ma Wei. When he opened it, it was a passed subway tender.
Just as the eldest prince promised before, the Benjamin family got the opportunity to enter the London business circle.
Seeing the words that the bid was passed, Ma Wei's eyes lit up: "Your Highness, this is great! I will write a letter to summon Benjamin Construction Company to come to London!"
"Don't be anxious, what's yours is always yours, no one can take it away." The eldest prince pressed his hand and signaled to be calm: "The bidding has been passed, you can start the construction anytime, but I want to remind you, Don’t cut corners. Both the church and the kingdom attach great importance to the metropolitan subway, which can greatly relieve residents’ travel pressure and has cross-epochal significance.”
"Understood, Your Highness."
"I have called you here today. In addition to handing out bids, there is one more thing." The eldest prince said in a deep voice: "I want Arthur to enter the House of Lords and support the Conservative Party. As for Benjamin, come and run for election as a member of the House of Commons." .”
"Participate in the general election?" Ma Wei was stunned for a moment: "I have not signed up, so I am not qualified to participate in the election."
"You don't have to worry about this. A little work can solve the registration problem. The key is whether you can win the general election and get the highest number of votes."
The eldest prince glanced at Arthur. He was not worried about Arthur. Arthur was a prince and had the power to enter the House of Lords. On the contrary, Benjamin, who had never participated in an election, had some difficulties.
"Your Highness, why do you want me to participate in the general election?" Ma Wei was confused: "There are many more suitable people than me, why is it me?"
"Because you are the most loyal." The eldest prince nodded and said with a smile: "You have proven your strength, and I admire you very much. At the same time, letting you run for parliament is to win over parliamentarians born in the north, such as the National Party and the Center Party. When you go to Edinburgh, you should have met a lot of such talents.”
The eldest prince's ambition was somewhat beyond Ma Wei's expectations.
The eldest prince actually targeted members of other parties!
In order to stabilize the base of the Conservative Party, he has begun to use any means necessary!
It is the freedom of every member of Parliament to choose a party. Obviously, the prince does not want to give these members freedom.
"As for Arthur, I hope you can convince the West Island members to let them all join the Conservative Party." The eldest prince said sincerely: "This is something only you can do. The West Island and the East Island have had a long-standing feud, and the kingdom needs A bond like yours unites us!”
"To tell you the truth, although I have a good status in the West Island, it is because I was not powerful before. If I join the Conservative Party and try to persuade them to join, they will only regard me as a traitor!" Arthur He said loudly: "I can't do such stupid things."
"No one asked you to join the Conservative Party. I asked you to support the Conservative Party." The prince smiled and said: "How could I not know that there is a balance in parliament? Any party that is too strong will arouse the fear of those in power. So for so many years, the Conservatives and the Liberals have been competing fiercely for power, and those in power like to see this, so they acquiesce in the competition."
“If there is no competition and harmony in Parliament, it will be those in power who should panic.”
"What I mean is also very simple. I am not asking you to join the Conservative Party, Arthur. I am asking you to become the leader of the West Island National Party. At the critical moment, support the Conservative Party's proposals. That is enough!"
"On the contrary." The eldest prince looked at Ma Wei: "Benjamin, the same goes for you. Unite the northern members and support the Conservative Party's proposal. In this way, we can control the parliament without leaving any trace!"
If someone gives you a pillow when you sleep, then this good person must be the prince.
Ma Wei never expected that his plan to unite with the fourth prince to establish the Labor Party would be solved by the eldest prince!
It’s still a matter of course!
Arthur was also a little surprised by the eldest prince's decision. This situation only meant that the eldest prince was under too much pressure now, so much so that he made a mistake.
If Ma Wei and Arthur sincerely surrender to him, then the proposal to join the parliament is not a foolish move, but a clever move.
The key is that Ma Wei and Arthur are the second and fifth sons. On the surface, they take refuge in the eldest prince, but in fact they slowly penetrate into the core of his power and prepare to disintegrate him from within.
In the eyes of the eldest prince, it didn't matter even if Arthur and Ma Wei were hypocritical. Originally, the West Island National Party and the northern MPs did not support the Conservative Party, but he never expected that Ma Wei and Arthur were planning an earth-shattering incident. event!
"Don't make this matter public and take your time."
"As you command, Your Highness."
After leaving the Nightingale Club, Ma Wei accepted Arthur's invitation and went to the villa as a guest. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Gulhana with her hair tied up in a bun.
"Father! Long time no see!" In the living room, Gulhana tapped her toes back, lifted both sides of her skirt, and bowed like she did back then.
"Long time no see, Gulhana, are you okay?"
"Of course, Arthur is very nice to me!" Gulihana showed a shy expression, making it difficult for people to connect her with Paimon, the Four Pillars of Supreme Being.
The fourth prince is also a ruthless person. Who wouldn't be afraid if something like this happened? But he acted like nothing happened.
"Father, Charles has completely taken the bait. He is now desperate and is not far from the end."
Arthur picked up the cup, poured himself a glass of red wine, and asked the maid to prepare hot tea for Ma Wei: "I have a hunch that we are getting closer to success."
"What did the eldest prince say?" Gulhana asked curiously.
"The Grand Prince allowed us to enter parliament and become the leader and leader of the West Island National Party and Northern MPs, supporting the Conservative Party in parliament."
"How dare he do this? Risking his life?!" Gulhana said in great shock: "Is the eldest prince lost his mind? Or is there some conspiracy?"
"There shouldn't be a conspiracy. Recently, Charles has been suppressed by Shukri. As the eldest prince, Charles has been defeated one after another. Many nobles have begun to waver."
Arthur said: "To stabilize the situation, Charles can only take risks and choose to take a chance. Believe us, as long as he makes the right bet, he can turn defeat into victory!"
Both Ma Wei and Arthur knew in their hearts that the eldest prince's gamble was destined to fail.
It can only be said that they pretended too well and encountered the eldest prince's period of weakness, so they gained trust. Before the arrival of the gods, it would have been impossible for them to gain the eldest prince's favor.
"Your Highness, can you please ask Gawain to go to Edinburgh to unite these MPs?" Ma Wei said thoughtfully: "I have to participate in the general election recently, and I really can't spare the time."
"No problem, Gawain takes action. It's not difficult to reach an agreement. What's difficult is what to do next." Arthur took a sip of red wine: "Father, which party do you want to establish?"
"Labour, the Workers' Party."
"You plan to package the thoughts of the Church of Truth into partisan thinking and spread them widely in London, right?"
"Yes, as long as the packaging is good enough, the parliament will not be able to find any flaws."
"I suggest that we should not establish the Labor Party for the time being, but start with the people around us and change them subtly before establishing the Labor Party."
Arthur's statement coincides with Mavey's vision. The hasty establishment of the Labor Party will only arouse resistance from other members of Congress, and expose his ambitions. It will also arouse the vigilance of the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party.
If the eldest prince and the second prince join forces to deal with them, the situation will not be good.
"I'll find Gawain in Edinburgh. Don't worry, Father." Arthur said, "I heard that Felix is planting a large number of extraordinary herbs in the small town of Beaconsfield. Do you need help?"
"No need for now, everything is going well in the town of Beckensfield."
Taking the black tea from the maid, Ma Wei did not drink it, but put it on the table. He stood up and said: "Your Highness, I think you can try to transfer the Knights of the Round Table to London. The eldest prince opened the door to London and welcomed us. Woolen cloth"
"Yes, without him, it would be difficult for Mr. West Island to set foot in London, but he took the initiative to extend an olive branch."
Arthur smiled, raised his glass and said, "Gulihana, write home and tell them that the time has come."
"I know, Arthur, I'll write it right away."
Gulihana walked into the study and left the living room. Taking this opportunity, Arthur whispered: "Father, do you think there is something wrong with her?"
"Maybe, maybe not." Ma Wei shrugged: "Paimon showed up in Paris, but Fat Orange said that Gulihana has always stayed in London and has never left."
"This doesn't mean anything. In the world of potions, nothing is surprising. Even you, Father, can easily become another person, right?"
"That's right. So, Your Highness, are you afraid?"
"Fear."
Arthur has not experienced the emotion of fear for a long time. He has already put life and death aside and strives for his goal at all costs. So what if Gulihana is the four supreme pillars?
He is not afraid at all!
After bidding farewell to the fourth prince, Mavey took Edward in a carriage to the headquarters of the Manstein Potion Company. Today was Sunday. Daniel was home from vacation and was playing chess with Yunia.
Yunia's chess skills were completely incomparable to Daniel's. In just twenty moves, she was defeated by Daniel and was defeated.
"It doesn't count! This one doesn't count! I didn't see your queen!"
Seeing that Daniel was about to take away the chocolate candy in front of her, Yunia became anxious: "Let's do it again! I will definitely win this time! As long as I win, you will give me the candy back!"
"Yes, yes," Daniel asked doubtfully, "What are you betting on?"
"I still have honey candies!" Yunia took out an iron box and vowed: "These honey candies are delicious! Most people can't buy them!"
After stopping to watch for a while, Tiffany came over with the accounting table in her arms and said, "Mr. Nicholas, everything has been arranged at the warehouse."
"very good."
Mavie nodded with satisfaction. The warehouse was used by him to store extraordinary herbs. The first batch of extraordinary herbs to be grown was in the small town of Beaconsfield. Everyone was watching. To this end, Mavie was going to stage a big show to give Look at all the businessmen and elites in London, who
He is the leader in the potion world!
As long as businessmen who cannot afford to profit early smell an opportunity to make money, they will swarm in and greedily absorb wealth. Manstein Potion Company is the fat in their eyes, fat that they can see but cannot eat. Meat.
"The day after tomorrow, the magic potion in the small town of Beckensfield will be ready. Then I will be there with Felix, and I will also invite reporters from the newspaper. The more the better, in short, it is to build momentum."
Tiffany listened to Mawei's instructions and wrote down what he ordered.
"How's it going with Senator Donnell?"
"He was not affected." Tiffany replied: "He handled it correctly and found a way out among countless dead ends. This kind of person is terrible. His political sense is too keen. His support rate has increased recently, but The vast majority of people are still waiting to see the situation."
"enough"
Mavey nodded and said: "Facts have proved that even in the Lambeth district where the Conservative Party is deeply rooted, people will prioritize their own interests. Even if Councilor Donnell boosted his reputation, he still failed to win. The chance... is still there. some."
"Mr. Nicholas, at what price will we purchase the extraordinary herbs grown in Beaconsfield Town?" Tiffany asked.
"Of course it's a price higher than the market average. Well, it can't be too high. I'll give you an answer on the specific price."
