Just when Blair was disheartened, Her Majesty suddenly spoke: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I support your views. The matter of restoring the relationship between the empire and the Great Zhou, you leave it to Boston, as the queen of the British Empire, I will fully support you behind the scenes! ”

Obviously, although Blair did not convince the conservatives led by Mountbatten in the upper house, Her Majesty was moved.

Although Her Majesty is only the nominal supreme leader of the British Empire, with his support, Blair is much more justified in what he does.

What's more, Blair himself is the actual helmsman of the British Empire, and the two are strong, even if Mountbatten controls the House of Lords, it will not be easy to overturn the decision of Blair and Her Majesty.

With the support of Her Majesty the Queen, Blair was in high spirits for a while, and after leaving Buckingham Palace, he ordered Foreign Secretary Boston to deal with the relationship with Da Zhou as soon as possible, in case there were many dreams at night.

And what about Boston

With the support of Her Majesty the Queen and Prime Minister Tony Blair, Boston returned to the Foreign Office and ordered Wilson to go to Dazhou as soon as possible to discuss the restoration of relations between the two countries.

After listening to Boston's words, Wilson hesitated a little and said, "Mr. Minister, I'm afraid this matter is a little tricky!" ”

"What's so tricky" Boston was a little unimpressed, "Restoring relations between the two countries, whether for the empire or for the Great Zhou, is a beneficial and harmless thing, and the Great Zhou Emperor may not necessarily refuse!" ”

"Not necessarily!" Wilson said: "Your Excellency, you don't know much about the Great Zhou, and you don't know much about the habits of the Great Zhou people.

For the Great Zhou, if the empire wants to restore the relationship with the Great Zhou, it must give the Great Zhou a certain amount of sincerity. ”

"Sincerity" Boston was stunned, "You don't want to say that you will give Da Zhou another colony, right?"

Speaking of this, Boston hurriedly shook his head, "Now the closest imperial colony to the Great Zhou is Australia, if a piece of land is carved out of Australia and given to the Great Zhou, I am afraid that in a few years, the whole of Australia will be the Great Zhou." ”

"It doesn't have to be a colony!" Wilson laughed, "As long as you can show the sincerity of the Empire, in fact, you can choose other gifts." ”

"You must have a plan in mind!" Staring at Wilson's eyes for a few moments, Boston frowned and said, "Tell me, what kind of gift do you want the empire to give to Da Zhou?"

"Princess Victoria!"

"What," Boston couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, "Are you crazy to dare to say this!" ”

"Your Excellency, I'm not crazy, I'm stating a fact!" Wilson's expression began to become a little solemn, "In the Great Zhou, there has always been such a thing as harmony. If Her Majesty is willing to give up her beloved daughter and marry Princess Victoria to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou, then the empire and the Great Zhou will be a country of in-laws, what can not be discussed?"

"But I heard that the Great Zhou Emperor already has an empress!" Boston Road.

"It seems that the minister still doesn't understand the customs and habits of Da Zhou!" Wilson explained, "In the Great Zhou, the emperor could have three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines, which means that the Great Zhou emperor could have many, many legal wives.

On the Asian side, Warat, Goryeo and other countries would give their princesses to the Great Zhou Emperor every few years in exchange for the trust and protection of the Great Zhou.

I think that if Her Majesty can marry Princess Victoria to the Great Zhou Emperor, it will not be long before the empire will definitely be able to replace France again as the largest trading country in the Great Zhou. ”

Hearing this, Boston couldn't help but feel a little moved.

In Europe, there has always been a royal marriage in various countries, but the marriage between the royal families of European countries is different from that of the Great Zhou.

In Europe, an identity like Princess Victoria, if she marries, she will definitely be the queen of a country.

Moreover, although European royalty and aristocracy will have many lovers, there is no such thing as three wives and four concubines.

So although Boston thought Wilson's proposal was somewhat uncanny at first, after thinking about it, he was still very supportive.

After thinking about it, Boston said: "This proposal of yours is a bit crazy, but it is not a good idea, so I will go to the Prime Minister for discussion." ”

After saying that, Boston hurried to the Prime Minister's official residence to discuss the matter.

Two hours later, Prime Minister Tony Blair rushed to Buckingham Palace again with Boston and Wilson, who had made the offer.

After listening to Wilson's suggestion, Her Majesty looked a little excited: "Are you crazy I only have one daughter, Victoria, and Victoria is only fifteen years old this year, and she is not an adult at all." ”

Wilson said, "Your Majesty, the customs of the Great Zhou are different from those of the Empire. On the side of the Great Zhou, a woman can marry at the age of thirteen, and if a woman does not marry at the age of eighteen, she is an old girl that no one wants, and it will be difficult to marry in the future.

For the sake of the empire, I also ask Your Majesty to give up your beloved daughter. ”

"Your Excellency, you feel the same way," Her Majesty asked, looking at Blair again.

Blair let out a long sigh and said, "Your Majesty, you better make up your mind quickly!" ”

"Is there no other way?" said Her Majesty with a sad look on her face.

"Unless you cede a colony to the Great Zhou!" Wilson said, "Otherwise, the sincerity of the Empire would not have been demonstrated at all." ”

As soon as Her Majesty heard about the "cession of the colony", she knew that it was simply not going to work.

After settling down, Her Majesty still made up her mind, "Wilson, you will take a boat to Da Zhou tomorrow, as long as Da Zhou agrees to restore relations with the Empire, I am willing to marry Victoria to him." ”

For the sake of the British Empire, Her Majesty can be regarded as a liberal one.

"Weichen takes the order!" Wilson solemnly saluted, and left Buckingham Palace with Blair and Boston.

Returning home to pack up his salutes, Wilson arrived at the docks early the next morning and took a boat to Da Zhou......

Three months later, Wilson disembarked at the Songjiang Wharf, and then took a mainland merchant ship along the Yangtze River, the canal, the Bianshui, and the Yellow River, and finally reached the city of Luoyang.

It has been more than three years since I left Luoyang.

Seeing everything here again, Wilson only felt that something was wrong.

In the past three years, Luoyang City has undergone great changes.

According to the vague memory in his mind, Wilson came to the embassy to stay and officially presented his credentials to the Ministry of Rites the next day.

Seeing that it was the credentials submitted by the British envoy Wilson, and thinking about the previous relationship between the two countries, the officials of the Ministry of Rites did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly presented it to the celebrant of ceremonies, and then the eunuch Xiaofuzi of the eunuch of the celebrant palm seal was presented to Zhang Lingyang.

After reading the national credentials presented, Zhang Lingyang thought for a long time, and finally said: "Xuan Wilson will meet you tomorrow!" ”
