Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The matter of the imprisonment finally began to escalate at an uncontrollable rate. When Bismark's official statement reached Benjamin's ears, this experienced politician did not even have the strength to get angry.

Benjamin sat on the sofa for five to six minutes with his mind completely blank. He really couldn't figure out how much bewitching soup Xiao Letian had given to these people, or why all these forces had given him to come out to the platform.

It was impossible for Bismark to not know the truth. With Prussia's connections in London, how could they not know that this was a big lie?

There was no imprisonment at all, all of this was the doing of that rogue Xiao Letian.

Xiao Letian only wanted to use the power of public opinion to force me to lower my head, and force me to start negotiations.

Benjamin couldn't understand, because he had severely underestimated Xiao Letian's ability to struggle, as well as his bottom line from the very beginning. He never expected that Xiao Letian would actually have such a powerful disassembling ability.

Even Europe was carefully divided into different factions. Some of them were destined to be enemies, some of them could be allies, and some of them could slowly be won over.

Only by dismantling it carefully enough would there be a goal to be set. This was how Xiao Letian slowly dug into the corner of Benjamin's wall.

The royal family was moved by him, the commoners were bewitched by him, the nobles were bribed by him, and the political enemies were affected by him … What kind of trouble can this bastard cause? Why am I the enemy everywhere?

Just an hour ago, a member of the Tory Party, who was also the current government's Foreign Secretary, Count Lalenden, and his good friend, Stanley, had come together to see him.

They were here as emissaries, and the two old friends of theirs brought the worries of the elders of the Tory Party. The old officials of the Tory Party who were already retired expressed worry about the situation.

There were even people who directly said that if Benjamin continued messing around, the foundation of Tory Party's governance would be shaken!

All the intelligence indicated that the Liberal Party of Gladstone was about to make a move, and all the basic members of the Liberal Party were talking among themselves about how they would harm the Tory Party.

Gradually, even the citizens of London started to believe the lies of the prisoners.

The only good news was that Gordon had brought them. Tomorrow, Tongzhi would agree to sign the contract with him. As long as they could take down the railway project in China, that would be the only way to solve the problem.

"The Prime Minister... Prime Minister! " An urgent shout alarmed him.

"Damn it, is there a war? What need is there to cause such a ruckus! "

The personal secretary rushed in from outside. "Prime Minister..." Emperor Tongzhi of Qing Country was holding a press conference at night... The situation is still unclear! "

"What?" A press conference! Without any communication with us, what does he want to announce? Hurry and find Gordon, so that he can ask him what happened … "

It was a pity that no one could understand the changes in the situation. That afternoon, Gordon wanted to pay respects to Tongzhi the Emperor.

Because Gordon did not receive an invitation card, he was stopped outside the entrance of Buckingham Palace.

"Editor Watson, can you tell me what happened? Qiao Zhi... "My old friend, wait for me for a moment..."

Unfortunately, no matter how enthusiastic the greeting was, Gordon received a confused reply. The editors and reporters of these newspapers did not hear the slightest bit of news at all.

At 3.15 in the afternoon, the press conference started on time. Under the melodious tones of the ritual officer, all the reporters in the hall stood up to welcome the arrival of Tongzhi.

When the figure of the emperor wearing a bright yellow dragon robe appeared, all the reporters present took off their hats and bowed to pay their respects.

"Gentlemen, please take a seat!" Zai Chun's expression was extremely solemn, as he had the maturity of an old Daoist that was incompatible with his age.

"In this press conference, I will only say one thing … I hereby strongly protest to the British Government! I hope the Prime Minister will immediately give a public explanation for the imprisonment! and I hope you can immediately release the head of the Xiao Letian Sect! "

After a loud jeer from the reporters, the crowd exploded into commotion. At that moment, someone asked, "Your Majesty, may I ask why you have issued such a declaration at this time? The matter of the captivity has already been talked about for more than half a month, may I ask what else you were doing before? "

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Have you decided that imprisonment is real? But Prime Minister Benjamin had been denying it all this while! "

"May I ask Your Majesty, is it possible that this is the Eastern Führer's plan? Could it be a conspiracy … "

was obviously prepared for this, as he reached his hand down and pressed on the ground, causing the place to gradually become quiet.

"As everyone knows, Xiao Letian is one of my teachers, I am extremely respectful to him! I've always been very concerned about my teacher's safety, but I've also received a British security commitment... "

"Yes, Prime Minister Benjamin did tell me before, that there was no imprisonment incident … But who could explain why the Führer had disappeared for so many days? Why would Prime Minister Bismark make such a strict statement? "

"Is the Prussian prime minister joking with me?"

"As for the conspiracy you mentioned just now, I don't think much of you. As the head of the Chinese clan, who would be so stupid as to put themselves in danger?"

"From a different perspective, I think that with British Empire's powerful strength, would he be afraid of the Chinese conspiracy? In front of absolute power, even if there's a conspiracy, how could you possibly succeed? "

Hahaha … Zai Chun's words could be considered to be extremely sarcastic. The British national's arrogance was as high as the sun at the moment, just like the Chinese national feelings during the Tang Dynasty, arrogant to the extreme.

Zai Chun's show of support had directly satisfied the vanity of the British citizens!

What he said was too right, the British Empire had absolute power, how could a small East Asian race dare to plot against them, even if they did, it would be in vain.

Under the noon sun, no matter how big the ice was, it would still melt into water!

The editors present all smiled brightly. They knew that with just the words of Tongzhi, the sales of the newspapers would rise again tomorrow!

This was the Emperor of China praising the British Empire, which just so happened to satisfy the vanity of the citizens, this little emperor was really too likeable.
