June 1, 1864

Emperor Richard of the Tang Dynasty arrived in the port of London by ship and began a nine-day official state visit to Britain.

The British held a grand welcome ceremony at the wharf, and the Crown Prince Edward and many noble dignitaries, as well as the Duke of Hawaii, the Duke of Panama, and the Duke of the North of the Tang Empire, as well as the envoys to the United Kingdom, were present, which was an unprecedented grand occasion.

The British discharged a huge array of 3,000 cuirassier ceremonial cavalry to greet them, and the Tang Empire also responded with 620 cuirassiers, the scene was very grand, showing the great power demeanor of Britain and Tang.

It should be pointed out that;

The mounts used by the 620 cuirassiers of the Tang Empire were all from a manor castle on the outskirts of London, and they were prepared to use Suffolk horses in advance, rather than horses brought from North America.

The biggest highlight of the welcome ceremony was the cars used by the royal family of the Tang Empire, a total of 72 cars were all loaded on the 6,200-ton high-speed coal carrier "Qinlier", and after arriving at the dock, they drove down the large steel gangplank and lined up in a row.

The black car looks quite shocking, with a huge silver-plated shield-shaped radiator on the front face, revealing an unaware sense of luxury, and on the front flagpole is the Tang Dynasty royal double dragon badge flag, fluttering in the wind.

Under the escort of the cuirassiers of the Tang Empire, that noble demeanor immediately compared the carriage of the British royal family.

Hundreds of thousands of Londoners poured into the streets to witness the moment, and the British Royal Horse Convoy and the Tang Imperial Royal Convoy passed by, triggering a tsunami of cheers.

And the new thing of the automobile has since been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the British people.

Buckingham Palace

Queen Victoria, who was short and fat, had a strong aura, and she asked with an ugly look on her face; "Oh God! It's also unbelievable.

How could Mr. Prime Minister Temple suddenly die violently, it happened so suddenly, and just yesterday he was arguing with Lord Henkel in front of the Imperial Court, and he did not see anything wrong in the slightest.

I want to know what the real reason is.

Don't deal with me with the ridiculous excuse of dying violently after drinking, there are so many people at the Prime Minister's official residence at 10 Downing Street, someone must have heard or seen something?

Also What's the deal with Lord Igtz-Reitz?

How could he have fallen so hard? ”

"Her Majesty the Queen; Lord Igtz-Reitz got up in a hurry to go to the Prime Minister's residence after receiving the news of the Prime Minister's violent death, but his leg fell down the stairs with a weak leg, breaking his arm and ribs, and it seems that his neck was also greatly damaged. This was confirmed by him himself, it was just an accident. ”

"Oh, may God bless him." Queen Victoria was distraught and drew a cross on her chest, and then commanded; "Concentrate on finding out the real cause of Prime Minister Temple's death, and I want to know if it was an accident or a murder. Lord John Russell is summoned to the palace for an audience, and we need a new Prime Minister. ”

"All is as you wish, Your Majesty the Queen."

"Go, let me be quiet."

Queen Victoria waved her hand, then walked over to the throne and sat down, frowning as she began to ponder the current chaos.

The violent death of Prime Minister Temple must be kept secret for the time being, so as not to cause constant speculation and gossip in the society, and create more incidents out of thin air.

It can be excused by the fact that Mr. Prime Minister is sick and unable to get up, although this point in time is more sensitive, but there is no way to do it.

Queen Victoria, unlike those British career politicians, has been on the throne for 27 years, and she has devoted a lot of her life to the British royal family, and has a close relationship with Prince Albert, and has nine children together.

The death of Prince Albert in 1861 was a great blow to Her Majesty Queen Victoria, who has not been able to get out of the grief of missing her husband.

Judging by the style of governance

Queen Victoria's early and mid-reign years were aggressive and aggressive, especially represented by the massive expansion of overseas colonies and the establishment of an empire on which the sun never sets.

In the middle and late years of his administration, he shifted to a dull conservative policy.

Regarding the death of Prime Minister Temple, Her Majesty Queen Victoria did not suspect the visiting emperor of the Tang Empire at all, but suspected the conspiracy of many political enemies in his country.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that many people are suspicious, including His Excellency Lord Henkel, Secretary of State for the Royal Admiralty.

Her Majesty was basically indifferent to the rise of the Tang Empire in North America, because during the period from 1860 to 1861, Prince Albert lingered on the sickbed until his unfortunate death, and Her Majesty did not have the heart to care about anything in the outside world at all, and his heart was broken.

Her Majesty Queen Victoria's impression of the Tang Empire was that it was a feudal regime composed of a mixture of Orientals and whites, and that its emperor was an ambitious and ruthless man. Quite powerful in North America, that's all.

I thought about it for a while

The young Prince Feopold jumped in, and immediately attracted the attention of Queen Victoria, and said in a loud voice; "You kid, pay attention to etiquette in the court, and don't fall on yourself."

Prince Leopold was thin and frighteningly pale. This little prince is a hemophilia, and he has been frail and sickly since he was a child, so Queen Victoria naturally cares for him more.

Huaqing Palace

His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and his entourage stayed at Huaqing Palace, a luxurious manor-style building in London's West End, located in the Richmond neighborhood on the banks of the River Thames, just diagonally across the street from the famous Hampton Court Palace.

Originally purchased and built by the Bishop of Nordink in the 16th century, it was purchased by the Imperial Cabinet of the Tang Empire and underwent a seven-year large-scale renovation and expansion, adding countless works of art, sculptures and antique furniture from the French and other European royal courts to achieve its current size.

In Britain and across Europe, the Imperial Household Office purchased dozens of castles and estates, which were renovated for the needs of the royal family and provided accommodation for important members of the imperial government during their stay in Europe, and were not open to the public.

Of course, this is an expense that needs to be paid by the government.

After the emperor settled in, the accompanying royal guards immediately took over the security defense task of the Huaqing Palace, and the entire Huaqing Palace was guarded from wind and rain.

After a short break, Her Majesty and his entourage will attend a grand welcome state dinner at Buckingham Palace in the evening, in which Her Majesty Queen Victoria will be present in person and deliver an important speech on the relationship between the two countries.

At a state banquet

Richard will meet most of the members of the British royal family and a number of top British nobles and their families, and it will be a top-level state banquet, consisting of a palace ball and a royal dinner.

To be honest, Richard didn't expect anything from that.

British dark cuisine has always been famous all over the world, and the French have always liked to talk about food when they belittled the British.

A funny joke about heaven and hell by the French:

In paradise, the chef is French, the policeman is English, the mechanic is German, the lover is Italian, and the banker is Swiss.

In hell, the cook is British, the policeman is German, the mechanic is French, the lover is Swiss, and the banker is Italian.

Romanesque palace architecture is famous for its thickness and ingenuity, without the baroque arched doors and windows and Roman columns, nor the elegance and agility of French neo-romantic palaces, giving people a sense of heaviness and strength.

Richard stood on the second floor and looked out of the window, the thick stone window edge was a foot and a half wide, all made of a single piece of bluestone, the walls and stone arches were thicker, and it was estimated that they would not collapse for a thousand years.

Even a frontal bombardment with a 6-pounder field gun would not have been possible to destroy such a solid stone wall.

The afternoon sun in London in early June doesn't feel much warmth through the windows, and the thick walls don't conduct the heat of the sun, so it's quite cool in the middle of summer.

Thinking of last night's actions, the corners of Richard's mouth couldn't help but pursed a smug smile.

With the backward medical level of the world today, it is completely impossible to find out the real cause of Prime Minister Temple's death.

Unless the deceased's skull is opened with a saw or an axe to carefully probe the structure of the brain, which is impossible to obtain permission from the Temple family.

As for Lord Igtz-Reitz, the Minister of the Colonies who had repeatedly attacked the Tang Empire, Richard simply sneaked into the bedroom and amputated the artery in the leg of Lord Igts-Reitz who was sleeping soundly, making him more likely to fall.

Unexpectedly, this person actually rolled down the stairs, and in the absence of suitable treatment, it is likely that he will die soon!

Richard's pulse interception technique was learned from the master of the palace's inner boxing, but he was actually not proficient, and it may only last for more than 10 hours, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good.

Lighting a cigar, Richard looked at the dozen or so beasts running around in the courtyard of the manor, and for a moment he was in a good mood and smiled pleasantly.

"The courtiers knock on their father's father's father's father's sacrament and wish him good health, long live, long live!" After the three princes entered the door, they bowed and worshipped.

Richard turned, raised his hand, and said; "Excuse me, flat."

Inheriting the good genes of his parents, the three princes are all tall and handsome, and the shortest prince, the Duke of Hawaii, Tang Li Yuan, is 1.85 meters, and the corners of his lips have grown fine fluff, which looks handsome and extraordinary.

Among the three, only the second prince, His Royal Highness Don Li Geng, Duke of Panama, always bowed his head weakly, afraid of meeting his father's stern gaze.

Richard did not treat them differently, but after examining the princes' knowledge and knowledge one by one, he gave pertinent evaluations.

In this trip to Europe, the three of them have made great progress in their studies, and they have gained the depth and breadth of their problems, which is really commendable.

After a few words of encouragement, the three of them knelt down.

After coming out

His Royal Highness Li Geng, the second prince, looked back with a sad face, and said in a low voice; "Brother Huang, I'm miserable now, and I'm going to be escorted back by my father if I don't make a mistake."

"How so?" Li Yuan's performance has always been decent, he has no worries in this regard, and asked casually.

"Alas......"

Li Geng sighed again and again, lowered his head and walked forward sullenly, completely without the fresh clothes and angry horses of the young man before, and scolded Fang Xuan with high spirits.

"Seventh brother, what's wrong with him?" Li Yuan asked with a puzzled expression.

The seventh prince Li Kun couldn't help but laugh out loud, followed by a soft whisper, and the eldest brother Li Yuan couldn't cry or laugh, and said in a loud voice; "Ridiculous...... It's ridiculous. ”
