Chapter 281: Faint Trick (2-in-1, Ask for Subscription!! )
"Okay, okay, no problem."
In the face of the monks sent by Archbishop Brandon, Father Fran was very cooperative, and did not look angry at all.
The reason for sending support is twofold, one is that Father Fran will not be able to protect the town in a desperate situation, and the other is that he doubts his identity.
After all, Father Fran believed in Wild, the goddess of health.
The arrangement of the church is interesting, rewarding the Manstein family, but placing their territory under the church of the goddess of health, back and forth, making it difficult for the Manstein family to develop quietly even if they have a territory.
This is a means of checks and balances, and in the current church, Archbishop Brandon walks with a high spirit, and if he wins another election, will he not go to heaven?
Replacing Father Fran is a must to take full control of the small town of Beckensfield, and no one can afford to gamble if they are not afraid of 10,000.
Of course, given Father Fran's prestige in the town, it is not possible to replace him directly, and gradual progress can alleviate the resistance of the residents.
Sending in monks to gradually take Father Fran's place in the town was what Archbishop Brandon had to do.
Seeing that Father Fran was very cooperative, Levin nodded, pulled the mayor to tell him a few more words about the cultivation of herbs, and then hurried back to London by train.
This afternoon, he's going to Miss Helena's equestrian show!
Nightingale Club, the exclusive lounge of the Great Prince.
Knock knock!
The butler pushed open the door, bowed to the eldest prince sitting on the sofa and said, "Your Highness, the fourth prince and Benjamin have arrived. ”
The eldest prince got up, looked at Arthur and Mavi who walked into 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'd like to talk to you about the future, and I'd like to leave you with what I've said beforehand."
The eldest prince snapped his fingers, and the butler immediately brought a document and put it in front of Ma Wei, and when he opened it, it was a passing subway bid.
As the eldest prince had promised, the Benjamin family was given the opportunity to set foot in London's business circles.
Seeing the words that the bid was passed, Ma Wei's eyes lit up: "Your Highness, this is great!" I'm writing to summon Benjamin's Architects to London! ”
"Don't worry, it's yours all the time, and no one can take it away." The eldest prince pressed his hand and signaled to be a little calm: "The bid has been passed, you can start work whenever you want, but I want to remind you, don't cut corners, the church and the kingdom attach great importance to the metropolitan subway, which can greatly relieve the travel pressure of residents, and the meaning is cross-era." ”
"Understood, Your Highness."
"Calling you here today, in addition to giving bids, there is one more thing." The eldest prince said in a deep voice: "I want you to enter the House of Lords and support the Conservative Party, and as for Benjamin, come and run for the House of Commons." ”
"Going to the general election?" Ma Wei was stunned for a moment: "I didn't sign up, so I am not qualified to participate in the election." ”
"You don't have to worry about that, you can solve the registration problem with a little operation, the key is whether you can win the 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 the general election, had some difficulties.
"Your Highness, why did you want me to participate in the general election?" Ma Wei was confused: "There are many people who are more suitable than me, why me?" ”
"Because you're the most loyal." The eldest prince smiled and said: "You have proven your strength, I admire you, and at the same time, you are still running for parliament in order to win over parliamentarians born in the north, such as the National Party and the Neutral Party, they went to Edinburgh this time, you should have seen a lot of such talents." ”
The eldest prince's ambition was somewhat unexpected by Ma Wei.
The eldest prince has even set his sights on parliamentarians from other parties!
In order to stabilize the basic base of the Conservative Party, he has begun to do whatever it takes!
It is the freedom of every parliamentarian to choose his party, and it is clear that the eldest prince does not want to give them freedom.
"As for Arthur, I hope you will convince the West Island MPs to get them all to join the Conservative Party." The eldest prince said sincerely: "This is something that only you can do, the West Island and the East Island have been grudges for a long time, and the kingdom needs you to be such a bond and unite as one!" ”
"To tell you the truth, although I have a lot of status in the West Island, it is because I was not powerful before, and if I join the Conservative Party and try to persuade them to join too, they will only regard me as a traitor!" Arthur said loudly, "I can't do this stupid thing." ”
"Nobody asked you to join the Conservative Party, I asked you to support the Conservative Party." The eldest prince smiled and said, "How could I not know that the council is balanced? Any party that is too strong will cause fear among those in power, so for so many years, the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party have been fiercely competing, and they are both vying for the throne of power, and those in power are happy to see this, so they acquiesce to the competition. ”
"If there is no competition in the parliament, and there is harmony, it is the people in power who should panic."
"My meaning is also very simple, it is not for you to join the Conservative Party, but for you to become the leader of the West Island National Party, and at a critical moment, support the proposal of the Conservative Party, and that is enough!"
"On the contrary." The eldest prince looked at Ma Wei: "Benjamin, you are the same, unite with the northern councillors and support the Conservative Party's proposal, so that we can control the parliament without leaking a trace!" ”
If someone gives him a pillow when he sleeps, then this good person must be the eldest prince.
Ma Wei never expected that his plan to unite with the four princes to establish the Labor Party was solved by the eldest prince!
It's still logical!
Arthur was also a little surprised by the eldest prince's decision, and this situation can only show that the eldest prince is now under too much pressure and is so big that he has a stupid move.
If Mavi and Arthur were genuinely committed to him, then the proposal to join the council would not be a trick, but a clever move.
The key is that Ma Wei and Arthur are two or five boys, ostensibly defecting to the eldest prince, but in fact slowly infiltrating the core of his power, preparing to disintegrate him from within.
In the eyes of the eldest prince, even if Arthur and Ma Wei are hypocritical, it is nothing, the West Island National Party and the Northern Councillors did not support the Conservative Party, but he never thought that Ma Wei and Arthur were planning an earth-shattering event!
"Keep this quiet, take your time."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Leaving the Nightingale Club, Mavi accepted Arthur's invitation to visit the villa, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Gulhana in a bun.
"Father! Long time no see! In the living room, Gulhana tapped her toes back, lifted the sides of her skirt, and bowed as she had done back then.
"Long time no see, Gulhana, are you okay?"
"Of course, Arthur is very nice to me!" Gulhanna's expression of shyness makes it difficult to connect her with Paimon, who is the Supreme Four Pillars.
The fourth prince is also a ruthless person, who is not afraid of this kind of thing? But he was like no one.
"Father, Charles has completely taken the bait, he is now cornered and the end is not far away."
Arthur picked up the glass, poured himself a glass of red wine, and asked the maid to prepare hot tea for Mavi: "I have a hunch that we are getting closer and closer to success. ”
"What did the eldest prince say?" Gulhana asked curiously.
"The eldest prince he put us in parliament and became the leader and leader of the West Island National Party and the Northern Assembly, and supported the Conservative Party in Parliament."
"How dare he do that? Don't want to die?! Gulhana was extremely shocked and said, "Is the eldest prince dizzy?" Or is there some conspiracy? ”
"Conspiracy, it shouldn't be necessarily, recently, Charles has been suppressed by Shukry a lot, as the eldest prince, Charles has lost one after another, and many nobles have begun to waver."
Arthur said: "If you want to stabilize the situation, Charles can only take risks and choose to fight, believe us, as long as he bets right, he can turn defeat into victory!" ”
Ma Wei and Arthur both knew in their hearts that the eldest prince's gamble this time was doomed to fail.
It can only be said that they disguised themselves too well, and they encountered the weakness of the eldest prince, which in exchange for trust, and it was impossible for them to be favored by the eldest prince before the gods came.
"Your Highness, next, can you ask Gawain to go to Edinburgh and unite these councillors?" "I'm going to run in the general election recently, so I can't spare time. ”
"No problem, Gawain is out, it is not difficult to reach an agreement, it is rare to do what to do after that." Arthur took a sip of red wine: "Father, which party do you want to establish?" ”
"Labour, Workers' Party."
"You're going to package the ideas of the Church of Truth as partisan and spread them all over London, right?"
"Yes, as long as the packaging is good enough, the council will not find a flaw."
"I suggest that we not form a Labor Party for the time being, but start with the people around us and subtly change them before forming a Labor Party."
Arthur's statement coincided with Mavey's vision, and the rash establishment of the Labour Party would only arouse resistance from other MPs, expose ambitions, and 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 go to Gawain in Edinburgh, don't worry, Father." Arthur said, "I heard that Felix is growing a lot of extraordinary herbs in the small town of Beckensfield, do you need help? ”
"Not for now, everything is going well in the small town of Beckensfield."
After taking the black tea handed by the maid, Ma Wei did not drink it, but put it on the table, got up and said: "Your Highness, I think you can try to transfer the Knights of the Round Table to London, the eldest prince has opened the door of London and is welcoming us."
"Yes, without him, it would be difficult for the West Island MP to set foot in London, but he took the initiative to throw an olive branch"
Arthur smiled, raised his glass and said, "Gulihanna, write home and tell them that the time is right." ”
"Got it, Arthur, I'll go write it."
Gulhana walked into the study and left the living room, taking the opportunity to say, Arthur whispered, "Father, do you think there is something wrong with her?" ”
"Maybe there is, maybe not." Mavi shrugged: "Paimon showed up in Paris, but Fat Tachibana said that Gulhanna had stayed in London and never left. ”
"That doesn't mean anything, in the world of potions, it's not strange that anything appears, even you, Father, can't you easily become another person?"
"That's right, so. Are you afraid, Your Highness? ”
"Scared."
Arthur hadn't experienced fear for a long time, he had already put life and death aside, and he would do whatever it took to fight towards his goal, even if Gulhana was the supreme four pillars?
He wasn't afraid!
After saying goodbye to the Four Princes, Mavi took Edward in a carriage to the headquarters of the Manstein Potions Company, and today was Sunday, and Daniel was returning home from vacation and was playing chess with Yunia.
Yunia's chess skills are completely incomparable to Daniel's, and in just over twenty moves, she was killed by Daniel and abandoned her armor and became a general.
"No, no, no! This one doesn't count! I didn't see you Queen! ”
Seeing that Daniel was about to take away the chocolate candy in front of her, Yunia suddenly became anxious: "Let's come again!" I'm sure I'll win this time! As long as I win, you give me back the sugar! ”
"Yes," Daniel wondered, "what are you betting on?" ”
"I still have honey candy!" Yunia took out an iron box and swore an oath: "These honey candies are delicious!" Ordinary people can't buy it! ”
After stopping to watch for a while, Tiffany came over with the accounting sheet and said, "Mr. Nicholas, everything is arranged in the warehouse." ”
"Good."
Ma Wei nodded with satisfaction, the warehouse was used by him to store extraordinary herbs, and the first batch of self-grown extraordinary herbs was in the small town of Beckensfield, and everyone was staring, for this reason, Ma Wei was going to stage a big show to show the merchants and elites of all London, who
It's the leader of the potions world!
Merchants who are unprofitable and cannot afford to make money will flock to the company as soon as they smell an opportunity to make money, greedily absorbing their wealth, and the Manstein Potions Company is the fat in their eyes, the fat they can see but cannot eat.
"The day after tomorrow, the potions in the small town of Beckensfield will be ripe, and I will be there with Felix, and I will also invite the newspaper reporters, the more the better, in short, to build momentum."
Tiffany listened to Mavey's instructions as she recorded what he had commanded.
"How's Councillor Donal's doing?"
"He's not affected." Tiffany replied: "He's done it right, he's found a way out of countless dead ends, he's terrible, he's got too much political sense, and his approval ratings have risen recently, but the vast majority of people are still waiting to see what happens." ”
"Enough"
Ma Wei nodded and said: "It turns out that even in Lambeth, where the Conservative Party is deeply rooted, people will prioritize their own interests and losses. There are still. ”
"Mr. Nicholas, at what price are we going to buy the extraordinary herbs grown in the small town of Beckonsfield?" 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 to the specific price."
