C2138 The honor guard landed (1/2)
At this moment, Xiao Letian and the other high ranking officials of the Hua Clan understood Benjamin's scheme. Seems like this was because they were afraid of Xiao Letian's ability to reap prestige, and the closest of methods was to reduce his chance of appearing in public.
Look at the Tongzhi Emperor, even Xiao Letian's disciple has such a sharp tongue, how terrifying would Xiao Letian be? had not even arrived in London when he had already toppled the entire city.
Those who appeared on the streets today were basically all Dongfang Feng's fans. To put it bluntly, they were Xiao Letian's fans.
To protect himself with the people, this made it difficult for Benjamin to do anything. After seeing through Xiao Letian's plans, Benjamin truly felt cold from the bottom of his heart.
He really couldn't understand why a scholar from the feudal dynasty would be so familiar with matters such as publicity and public expectations. This was supposed to be the skill of European politicians. How did the Chinese learn it?
He was truly a monster, and this monster had to be suppressed!
There were two things that couldn't be changed during today's welcoming ceremony: the two banquets, the luncheon and the dinner! This was because the Queen was personally managing it, and her body couldn't be bothered too much, so the time she ate and rested was fixed.
Even if the emperor of China were to come, it would not affect the health of the queen!
Under the situation where the two time nodes did not change, the schedule of the other welcoming ceremonies were disrupted, allowing the others to take up a large amount of Xiao Letian's speaking time, until finally, the media forgot about him.
It was already not easy for Benjamin to think of such a plan and execute it perfectly in such a short time.
After figuring out what was going on, Xiao Letian crossed his legs and looked at the people on the stage in a relaxed manner. Stealing reputation was not something that could be done in a day, there would definitely be opportunities in the future.
Under his hidden instructions, this group of reporters started to take turns asking Tongzhi questions. The Zai Chun of today was also extremely eloquent, he believed that tomorrow, the entire Europe would have positive reports on him.
Time passed minute by minute, Gladstone had seen through everything. He was secretly observing Xiao Letian, but discovered that this familiar stranger had an imposing aura, which made him look up to Xiao Letian a few times.
He took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. Then, he turned to Benjamin and said, ”Prime Minister, it's already 10: 15. Are you still going to stall for time? The Crown Prince is waiting in St. Paul's Cathedral … ”
Benjamin pretended to be surprised and said, ”How is it possible that time passes so quickly? ”Aiya, hurry up and send someone to communicate with the head of the Chinese family. Let's see if his speech can be placed in the church. The crown prince and a few young members of the royal family won't be able to wait for long …”
The black-faced Duke was not willing to offend Xiao Letian, after all, he still had to rely on Xiao Letian's secret methods to earn money, but since the Prime Minister had personally pointed out that he had no excuse to reject, he could only bite the bullet and go.
”Dear Xiao, look … His Majesty suddenly went all out and messed up his schedule. Why don't we hurry up and do it while you wait for St. Paul's Cathedral to arrive before you speak? ”
Xiao Letian smiled faintly: ”No problem, I will listen to your arrangements, may I ask if my guards can board the shore now?”
”Yes, absolutely! An empty space has already been cleared … ”
General Luo Huo had been waiting for this moment for a long time, he immediately walked forward with his head held high, and stood beside the stairs leading to the Zhiyuan Warship, ordering loudly, ”There's a guard of honor, everyone! Boarding... ”We need an emergency meeting!”
