Without waiting for Gladstone to think any further, the guests behind him shocked him even more. A vice president of Bank of England actually walked in with a smile on her face.

”Oh!” Hello Minister of Finance, the last time we had a huge argument over the issue of treasury bonds, I hope you won't kick me out, right? ”

Gladstone quickly laughed out loud. ”Old Jie Sen, are you joking? ”How could I chase you away? On the contrary, I would give you the best wine. Please come in …”

Just as he shook hands with his old friend, Gladstone's second half of his sentence was forcefully blocked. Behind the Vice President were three senior members of the City of London's banking industry, who were usually very low-key and never had much contact with politicians.

”You all … Oh, my God, there's so much surprise today! ”

The representative of the City came over, followed by a giant from the iron and steel industry and a giant from the textile industry. All of them lowered their hats, as if they were afraid of others finding out.

This time, Gladstone was slightly uneasy. He seemed to have guessed some of the Crown Prince's intentions, but he was not sure. This old fox immediately became nervous.

The royal family sent their representatives, the financial and industrial world also sent their representatives. The political enemy Tory Party also sent their contacts.

The Whig Party had sent a total of three visitors. Gladstone smiled bitterly and said, ”My prince, I'm afraid the next person is the representative of the Military, right?”

Edward opened up the wine shelf in the living room and picked out a bottle of extremely good looking red wine. Yue Sefu? Wyrsley will be here, and there's too much going on in the Navy, so I'm representing... ”

Gladstone swallowed a mouthful of saliva and thought to himself, ”What's coming is coming. If I don't get through this, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit still as prime minister.”

There were a total of twenty people in the room, including almost all the major political parties and civil forces. The royal family and the Military were also involved.

Someone was standing and sitting. The fragrance of the cigar and the fragrance of the wine filled the air. The people pretended to be relaxed, but the atmosphere was very strange.

Edward had the highest status and the most awkward situation, so he had to break it. ”Alright, gentlemen, please be quiet, the meeting today is a top secret of the empire, I have given you my orders and instructions, and I hope that you all can keep your mouths shut …”

”Gladstone, today everyone that is doing it has only one identity, and that is the elite of the British Empire. We are just citizens of the British Empire.

”We are only here because we are worried about the current situation and hope to have a frank communication with you... May I ask why you want to use the Chinese power to impeach the Prime Minister? I would like to ask if you will have any benefits for the Chinese clan once you become the successor! ”

”It was normal for political parties to rotate between prime ministers in the Empire's history, but today is an exception. This is the first time in British history that a Chinese side has participated, so we are deeply worried. For the sake of the Empire, we have to figure out your trump card!”

As he took a sip of the whisky, he noticed that what used to be a fine wine was now extremely bitter and bitter. However, the astute old fox was now able to hear a few different sounds from his threatening tone.

”Your Highness …” Gentlemen, if I'm not wrong... Could it be that everyone is giving up on Benjamin? ”Otherwise, many of you wouldn't have come to see me in secret, especially when most of you are political enemies …”

Everyone became embarrassed. Count Lalenden, the member of the Tory Party, snorted coldly and said, ”No, don't think too highly of yourself. We just accepted the prince's invitation to carry out some questions. Don't think that you're the Prime Minister so quickly …”
