"Failure, complete failure! This is the shame of your Scotland Yard!" Benjamin was scolding the police commissioner in the Prime Minister's official residence, the ban had been issued for four days, but Xiao Letian's underground publications were still circulating, and the police department had arrested countless citizens who had privately circulated extraneous reports, but they had no idea how to punish them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because everything was voluntary, there was no profit in the circulation of this publication, and the newspaper number was only an attack on France, which made the British police very confused.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, it's not that we don't try to arrest them, but we really don't know what to do with these citizens...... Could it be that we have broken the law by scolding the French? This should not be true, since we have not violated the law, we don't even know how much we should be fined!"

"What's even more frightening is that there are a lot of members of the Commons who put pressure on us, saying that if the Metropolitan Police Department dares to punish the citizens of London for calling the French, they will ...... I'm going to impeach you!"

Hum...... Benjamin snorted coldly, "These idiots who only know how to buy good for voters don't know where the core interests of the British Empire are, and they know how to make trouble......"

Scolding and scolding, but Benjamin knows very well in his heart that this ban is actually very unpopular, Xiao Lotian is extremely ingenious to cut into the psychological appeal of the British people, and such an interesting thing as scolding the French has always had a popular base.

Benjamin, who frowned, was also a little helpless, those people who spread the number in private, you really can't do anything about them. Fines, imprisonment, or mere verbal warnings? Punishment is light, but severe punishment will inevitably provoke protests from the people and directly provoke protests from the parliament.

"What should I do? What should I do......" Just when Benjamin was at a loss, suddenly the secretary rushed out without knocking on the door.

"Prime Minister! Prime Minister...... The letter of state, just now from Buckingham Palace has been announced, and there is a letter of national delivery ......"

Benjamin stood up in shock, his personal secretary was the most calm and reliable person, and he had never seen him with such a panicked expression.

"It's the letter of the Great Qing Kingdom, and Sir Ai Liguo, who followed the returnee, has disembarked, and he didn't go home and went directly to Buckingham Palace to meet Her Majesty......"

"How so? arrange the carriage at once, and I'm going to see the Queen...... What did the Qing people say?"

"I don't know, I don't have a clue at all, this is the first time that that closed country has taken the initiative to submit its credentials to us...... Could it be the news that the legendary Emperor Tongzhi traveled to Europe?"

Benjamin put on his clothes and didn't pay attention to the police chief, and walked out directly, "God knows what will happen?" Your guess is not impossible, many channels have proved that Xiao Letian is going to take His Majesty Emperor Tongzhi to travel to Europe...... But aren't they at war?"

"If the Far East loses this war, what mood will they have to come to Europe? Xiao Letian will face the punishment of the whole of Europe at that time, who will welcome him?"

"Could it be that he is already sure of victory! God, is there a change in the situation in the Far East...... No wonder he would spare no expense to carry out a series of reports on the Oriental Chinese in Europe, did he already know that we had to make a mistake in judgment?"

"Hurry, hurry...... Go see the queen right away!"

The police chief was left in the room, and he listened to the prime minister's conversation with a shocked expression, and he was dumbfounded for a moment.

Suddenly, a light flashed in his head, and he didn't dare to hesitate, and the police chief immediately left the prime minister's residence, and immediately notified his economic man, asking him to immediately prepare to short the ruble, knowing that once the news of the defeat of Tsarist Russia in the Far East reached the City of London, then the credit of Tsarist Russia's bonds would immediately plummet.

"Now if there are bonds, throw them away, and if you can short, you should immediately short, and notify my economist immediately......"

The butler in the carriage faithfully carried out the order of the police chief, and immediately rented a carriage and left the street.

The countless reporters in the city of London also had a very sensitive sense of smell, and the news of Sir Ergo's return to Europe did not go, and it was not known where they got the news, and soon the news was published in the major newspapers.

"Sir Elligo, who has been stationed in the Qing Dynasty for many years, has returned to London at 6 o'clock this morning, but the strange thing is that Sir did not reunite with his family, nor did he go to see the new Prime Minister, but directly met Her Majesty...... According to reliable sources, this time Sir Ai Liguo brought a letter of state from the Qing Empire, the specific content of which is unknown......"

According to a person familiar with the matter, what Minister Ai Liguo brought back this time was the letter of state of the Qing Empire, and the Tongzhi Emperor, who was not pro-government, was about to visit Europe, and the Qing Empire hoped that the British Empire would coordinate security and hospitality......

It is a great irony that Prime Minister Benjamin had just entered Buckingham Palace, and three hours later the newspaper's emergency number had already begun to be distributed on the side of the road, not to mention the more rapid underground illegal publications, and the news of the Emperor's imminent visit to Europe had already begun to flow among the Chinese supporters.

The Prime Minister did not get the specific details of the credentials, but the citizens of London already knew about it, which shows the strength of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Buckingham Palace was also nervous, and in the face of the letter sent by the Qing Empire, the queen and many members of the royal family, including the prime minister, were a little overwhelmed.

Mankind has a written history of more than 3,000 years, but in the past 3,000 years, there has never been an imperial state visit in Europe and Asia.

This is a major event destined to go down in history forever, don't look at the British Empire, which is now so powerful that it is called the empire on which the sun never sets, but in terms of intermittent civilization, it is far inferior to the Chinese civilization.

Chinese civilization has not been broken for 3,000 years, and people there have believed in the same religion, culture, and morality for 3,000 years, and have adhered to the roughly unchanged territory of the Central Plains.

And what about Europe? The Greek and Roman civilizations were followed by the dark Middle Ages, when the city-states were full of princes vying for hegemony and conquering each other, rarely for more than a thousand years.

Although the European monarchs have looked down on the backward China at this moment, they still have a little awe in their hearts for the country that has not been broken off by 3,000 years of civilization.

The golden dragon hovers above the bright yellow silk national letter, the square Chinese characters are strong and powerful, and under the national letter is the translation written by Sir Eric himself, Benjamin has been pinching the translation and reading it for five minutes.

"No! That backward and closed country actually agreed to the emperor's visit? Didn't they believe that they were the center of the world? Shouldn't they live in the Forbidden City and accept the tribute of all nations? When will they allow an emperor to visit Fanbang?"

Ai Liguo listened to the prime minister's self-talk and said with a smile: "Where is the consent of the Qing State Center! They are also forced to be helpless, the two palace empress dowagers and those princes and royal highnesses who hold power in the Qing Empire have been opposed from the beginning!"

"It's a pity that Xiao Letian forcibly took away his emperor students with force deterrence, and Emperor Tongzhi has already flown out of the palms of those people at this moment, and they can't stop Emperor Tongzhi from doing anything at all!"

"That empire is too face-saving, since it can't be stopped, it can only choose to accept, and taking the initiative to submit the credentials is also a means to put gold on your face!"
