C2154 The Queens Meditation (1/2)

Information! Information! At this moment, Xiao Letian was at a disadvantage of having a weak European intelligence network. Although the foundation led by King Yi and Fang Guan had successfully established an efficient intelligence network in Europe, and had also discovered many important secrets.

However, the time was still too short. A skyscraper was not built in a day, especially for an important target like the Queen. The Chinese intelligence network did not have any clues, and they could not find any valuable clues.

If Xiao Letian knew that a document that had been drafted by Gladstone had received the attention of the Queen on the Queen's desk, then his plan would definitely be more bold.

Inside Buckingham Palace, the well-dressed Queen sat on a chair and closed her eyes to rest. Her Attendant would report on the progress of the envoy every five minutes.

From the mouth of the Thames to the Tower Bridge, everything that happened was witnessed by the Queen.

How Benjamin had made things difficult for Xiao Letian, how Gladstone had destroyed his position, how Xiao Letian had dealt with everything, Zai Chun's outstanding speech, everything was within the Queen's absolute control.

The 50-year-old queen was at the peak of her political life. While most people thought that she was already in her late years, to a politician, she was still in her prime.

After half a century of studying and accumulating experience, her control over the political situation had already reached a proficient level. Adding to that, her long term rule over the entire kingdom, as well as the officials and nobles, had all been single-handedly promoted by her.

With her vast experience in the field of direct line officials, the Queen's power was almost limitless. Although the current England was a constitutional monarchy, everyone knew that the prestige of the Queen had long surpassed that of the Constitution.

The Queen could overturn any Prime Minister's decision with a single sentence. She could even directly remove the Cabinet from the government without the need to worry about the public's rebound. She could say that whatever the Queen wanted to do, she didn't need to find any reason.

Actually, most of the people in the British Parliament did not agree with First Opium War's decision. Later on, it was the Queen who openly supported sending out the army, which affected a large number of the members at the most crucial moment.

The queen, who was resting with her eyes closed, listened to her subordinate's report. Even the old geezers in the political field, who had been cultivating for many years, felt a little excited at this moment.

This was how humans were. When her power had already reached the peak of the world and there was no one on Earth as powerful as her, she would naturally consider the matter of reputation behind her.

Since he had no way to keep up with his authority, his greed for prestige naturally rose!

Although the Queen looked calm on the surface, she was actually more eager than anyone else to succeed at this diplomatic event.

”This is the emperor of China taking the initiative to put me on display! I am the first King in the history of Europe to have received an audience from the Emperor of China, and I am even a woman! ”

”A cause that all European emperors and generals could not accomplish, a great feat that all European men would not even dare dream of! Today is going to come true in my hands, I'm looking forward to it! ”I truly look forward to it …”

The subordinates of the Queen were unaware of the Queen's inner turmoil, only the most sensitive subordinate would be able to find out what was going on. When the Queen heard that France and Shaos were actually attacking the Chinese like mad dogs in the St. Paul's Cathedral, her eyebrows actually twitched a few times.

It was very, very minute. Only those who knew the Queen best would be able to notice such a small change.
