Charlotte's disgust and hatred for the extremely wealthy banker reached such a level that it made Charles a little concerned anyway.

Did they know each other before? Could it be that the Duke of Trevier had a relationship with the banker? Charles wondered in his heart, but he didn't say it.

"Do you know weishenme I'm going to bring you here? Shire? Charlotte's tone became warm again, as if it wasn't her who was shouting and killing. This is something that my grandfather and I applied for. ”

"Oh, weishenme? I do get a little curious. Charles replied.

"Since you want to cooperate, you have to know more about the inside story, which is also good for you. Moreover, I am also a girl, and it always makes other people a little uncomfortable to participate in such an occasion alone. Charlotte replied with a smile, "After tonight,......" she glanced at the foreign secretary, "I'm afraid it's going to be a decisive battle for Zuihou." ”

Now I remember that I am a girl? Really, so why do you need to mix it? Charles grumbled in his heart. But it still hasn't been announced.

"That's really Xiexie you." Charles nodded lightly at his sister, and then greeted politely, "Is Mr. Duke Treville feeling lately?" ”

"Did you remember to ask until then?" Charlotte glanced at Charles with some resentment, "An old man in his seventies, how good can his body be even if he says it is good?" But it's okay now...... Isn't your grandfather about the same......"

Charles froze for a moment, then sighed softly, "yes, they're almost old." ”

Charlotte grabbed his hand again.

"Charles, Treville and us, we can inherit the last name."

"Of course." Charles responded.

While they were still talking, the Foreign Secretary walked in with a guest and motioned around.

Clearly, the people have gathered. The people moved closer to the minister's place, and the Charlotte siblings followed suit, sitting on a few couches around a coffee table.

There weren't many people in attendance, just a handful of people. Although it was nominally a family feast, everyone had a serious expression, as if they were facing a great enemy, and in fact it was. In addition to the famous banker, Charlotte also named several other people - one of whom was the current Chancellor of the Exchequer, His Excellency Dumont, and several others were also prominent and apparently worthy of the rank of a political group.

They were also a little surprised to see the two young men coming here, and they looked at each other a few times and then looked at the owner of the room.

The Foreign Secretary sat in the main seat, and behind him was the fireplace that had not lit the fireplace, but at the moment the flame in his eyes seemed to be able to do the same task of warming the room. He cleared his throat and spoke. "Thank you for being here tonight." Then he gestured to the two siblings sitting on the couch next to him. "This lady is the granddaughter and private secretary of the Duke of Treville, and this gentleman is ......"

"Eugène." Charlotte smiled and nodded to the people next to her, and then answered. "My younger brother, the direct heir to our Trevill family. Now grandpa is not in good health, so he let him attend, and he is by no means deliberately snubbing everyone. I can assure you that our opinion is that of Grandpa himself. ”

She deliberately made her words vague and ambiguous.

Charles nodded calmly around. "I am honored to have the opportunity to take on the responsibility of my family."

After hearing the name of Duke of Treville, the others gradually relieved, and it was obvious that this well-known former politician still had some weight in the hearts of these people.

Seeing the performance of Charles and Charlotte as "not very rookies", the Foreign Secretary finally nodded slightly. "It's really gratifying that the Trevier family has someone to follow."

After saying a polite word, he raised his head directly and looked at everyone. "As you must all know, Mr. Duke of Dalmatia is already striking back at me harshly. We have to seize this time to get started. ”

The living room fell silent, and people just exchanged glances to each other, testing each other's thoughts.

"Of course, although I didn't think of his counter-attacking strategy, I also knew that he would definitely not be restrained. None of this surprised me. "The important thing is that we can back down because of this?" Now that we've gotten to this point, I can't back down. Now that we have decided to do it, we must not give up halfway, otherwise not only will everyone's previous efforts be wasted, but even the existing interests may not be able to be saved, am I right? ”

The others nodded.

After unifying the ideological opinions of the small group, the rest will be easy to handle.

"Although his trick is really powerful, it's not like I don't have a way to deal with it." He continued, "I have met with the British Ambassador privately and hinted at the divisions within the Government, and in particular the fact that France has absolutely no intention of challenging British interests in Africa - all this is just a farce rehearsed by Mr. Prime Minister for his own political self-interest...... When I was an ambassador in London, I knew a lot of people, so I'm going to listen to this statement over there. ”

[Guizot served as French ambassador to Britain in 1840.] 】

"And what did Mr. Ambassador say?" The Chancellor of the Exchequer next to him asked in a low voice. He had already placed political bets on this colleague, so he was naturally very concerned about the outcome of the fight.

"Mr. Ambassador has promised to report the matter to London, and he has expressed his personal opinion that it is not wise to elevate domestic political struggles to international problems, and to use them as a weapon against opponents."

Several attendees breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the ambassador used very vague diplomatic rhetoric, he made at least two implicit statements:

1. He felt that the situation was not serious, and that France had no idea of attacking the British colonies;

2. He was also a little dissatisfied with Prime Minister Sirte's move.

Although the Ambassador's personal opinion is not entirely representative of the British Government, London will certainly listen to the Ambassador's report.

"So, what about the country?" Another asked. "The French people can't do that much, and if they accept the British advice and stop the march, the prime minister will certainly put the blame on you."

That's the essence of the problem.

The Foreign Secretary clenched his fists, apparently also upset on the issue.

"I have taken care of the English side to try to be as gentle as possible so as not to unduly affect the mood of the French. And, during this time, we have to give him a good toss. He said with a slight murderous spree.

Then he looked back at the Chancellor. "During this time, it is necessary to intensify the investigation of the misappropriation, remember, to cooperate with the press, to constantly exaggerate the problem, and to try to hint at the suspicion to Mr. Prime Minister......"

“haode。” The Chancellor of the Exchequer nodded in response, but he was still hesitant. "What if the prime minister has to stay on his laurels? This kind of thing can't be found out all at once. ”

"It's okay, just try to create public opinion." The Foreign Secretary replied. "In addition, the House of Representatives must also raise a no-confidence motion as soon as possible, as long as it is passed early, we can dissolve the cabinet and then appoint a new prime minister by King Bixia."

"Of course, there is no problem in proposing a bill, but if it is passed, it needs to have enough votes, are we sure?" Another asked. "A lot of people are still waiting and watching."

"This has to be tried first." The Foreign Secretary replied in a low voice, then looked at the banker next to him, "It's up to you, Mr. Baron." ”

The chubby middle-aged banker spoke only then, his voice a little dry. "I'll do my best to help."

"Just your words are enough." The Foreign Secretary nodded, "Don't worry, as long as I become Prime Minister, I will never treat you badly." ”

Such a rich God of Wealth, even if he buys a ticket, he can buy a lot, and there are many councillors who are actually his colleagues or close customers, as long as he is willing to help, it is definitely good news.

After they had discussed for a while, the Foreign Secretary turned his face to the Tréville siblings. "Although the Duke has retired from state politics, he is still very prestigious in the hearts of many people, so please encourage those people when the time comes, so as to increase our chances of victory."

Charlotte smiled and nodded, "I'll pass everyone's opinion to Grandpa, and of course he'll do what he can." And...... My grandfather had another suggestion......"

The two siblings never spoke, after all, they were only "juniors who were present in place of the Duke of Treville due to his ill health", and there were not many opportunities for them to speak as "hairy children", so every sentence had to be straight to the core.

"What advice?" The prime minister was a little surprised.

"The previous murder of the Duke of Plasland's family, because the deceased Duke of Plasland was my grandfather's distant nephew, he was very concerned......" Charlotte said slowly.

The Treville family has intermarried with other nobles for many generations, and they are basically distant relatives with everyone, and it is not possible that the Bourbon royal family can also be related to Treville for several generations, this kind of kinship will not allow you to borrow a penny more when you are poor and destitute, but it is very convenient to use as an excuse.

"Oh? Is that the murder? "There are many rumors that Mr. Prime Minister is involved, and if it can be confirmed, or even if there is evidence against him, it will be a great blow to his reputation......

He looked at the two young men, as if expecting something.

Charles took out from his bosom the confession he had forced to write to the coachman of the Duke of Praslan's house, and handed it to the Foreign Secretary in silence.

The Foreign Secretary took it with some urgency, and then was overjoyed.

"Great!" He shouted.

He then passed the confession to the others, and he looked at Charles again. "Where is that Jean-Gunsdown now?!"

"In England." Charles calmly replied, "Now he's changed his name there, and he's still doing his old job." ”

He had asked Joseph Bonaparte to pass on the news, and after some searching, he finally found the coachman.

"Great!" The Foreign Secretary shouted, and the others chimed in. "I'm going to call the embassy in the UK right away to find this guy, and it's all my people over there. I'm going to give him a large sum of money to come forward to accuse the prime minister, smear him, and get the no-confidence bill to pass quickly......"

"Maybe there's something else in that?" Charlotte asked coldly.

"The truth? Damn it! What the truth I want! He is an accomplice to the murderers, and that's the truth! The Foreign Secretary scolded, "As long as I can discredit that guy and get me enough votes to sweep this cabinet out of office!" When I become Prime Minister, of course I will be interested in taking care of the truth. ”

Then, he reached out and patted Charles on the shoulder. "Please rest assured, I will not forget the hard work of the Trevill family this time, young man, you have to work hard, and you will definitely have a bright future in the future!"

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your encouragement." Charles smiled, then bowed down and saluted.
