Chapter 1752 The Queen's Decision

In the city of London, envoys from all over the world gathered here for the time being, preparing to transfer to the Eastern capital!

Almost the entire continent of Europe, North Africa, and West Asia's prominent empires, kingdoms, principalities, and federations have sent envoys.

This was an unprecedented event, so that when the envoys from all nations were successively brought to the city of London, it caused a huge commotion here.

Various empires, kingdoms, principalities, and federations send envoys for various purposes. Some countries are to curry favor with China, especially the countries of the Holy Alliance, Denmark and Portugal. Some countries want to find out why the East is powerful, such as France, Ottoman Empire, Duchy of Prussia.

They need to meet in the city of London, prepare supplies for ocean voyages, and make a long sea voyage before they can reach the prosperous eastern capital.

Queen Sophia of England, Scotland and Ireland simply wanted to take her children to the east to meet Chu Yun.

She was still questioned by Parliament before she set off.

"Your Majesty, you are going to the East with the Prince of Wales and His Royal Highness. This is an act that puts the Stuart royal family in a dangerous place. Ocean voyages are full of dangers. If any danger happens to you, the Prince of Wales and His Royal Highness, then Our English royal family will have no successor." The English Parliament did not completely prevent Sophia from going to the World Expo, but was worried about the succession of the Stuart dynasty.

At present, England has a cabinet led by the prime minister and a parliament in charge of operations. Even if Sophia leaves for two or three years, there will be no problem at all.

The problem is that Sophia leaves England with Prince Henry and Princess, which means that the entire Stuart royal family is not in England, so there is no backup candidate for the throne.

"My sister, Princess Elizabeth, is in the Palatinate, and my niece, Princess Anne, is in Paris. They can all become the new queens of the United Kingdom after my accident." Sophia was a little dissatisfied with Congress's obstruction.

"Princess Elizabeth's son is now the Palatinate Elector of the Holy Roman Empire. If she is allowed to inherit the English Parliament, then the throne will be passed to the Palatinate Elector in the future, and the Germans will rule our England. This is Things we do not allow. Princess Anne is behind King Louis XIII of France, and we cannot allow France the opportunity to annex our England." The English Parliament has always been uninterested in candidates for the throne other than Sophia.

The reason why they can accept the marriage between Sofia and the East is that the East does not have the tradition of merging territories through marriage. The United Kingdom will not be annexed in the hands of Sofia and her descendants, but it will be different if the throne falls into the hands of other European kingdoms. There is a good chance of legal annexation through marriage.Spain, for example, legally annexed Portuguese territory through marriage.

"I can guarantee that there will be no problems with this voyage. This voyage has a huge fleet and a large number of doctors. There are supply stations along the way from West Africa to East Africa, the Strait of Hormuz, and India. There is no need to cross Ocean." Sophia said.

"You can let the Prince of Wales stay, Your Majesty, you only take the little princess to the East."

"No, this time I will return to Dongfang as a royal family, and there must be no one left."

Members of the English Parliament whispered to each other, and after intense discussions, they still passed the practice of the Queen's family going to the East on the Orient passenger liner.

The size of the fleet this time will not encounter huge risks, and the more threatening ones may be some diseases.

"Prince Rupert will lead the Royal Guard to protect Her Majesty's family." The English Parliament has made another decision.

Members of Parliament then discussed how to keep the United Kingdom running while the Queen was away from England.

The meeting didn't end until Sophia felt a little mentally exhausted: "These people are really long-winded."

In any case, the tradition of the parliament made her have to fully consider the feelings of the parliament.

In the final analysis, parliament is the parliament of nobles, squires, merchants, handicraftsmen, and peasant groups. Of course, now the nobles and squires occupy the main body. They are the ruling class in England. If the king does not consider their interests, then it is like Charles I. end.

"Your Majesty, the fleet heading to the East this time is very powerful. If you barely count Tsarist Russia, there are three empires and six kingdoms, the Kingdom of France, the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Portugal, the Kingdom of Denmark, the Kingdom of Sweden, and the Kingdom of Poland. Representatives of several republics, principalities, and even Barbary pirates." The Prime Minister of the Cabinet reported to Sophia after the parliament.

"Including our United Kingdom, there are three empires, seven kingdoms, and three republics... Has the Pope sent a representative?" Sophia asked.

"The Pope has no intention of going to the East. He just asked a lord of the Papal State to bring a team of envoys there," the prime minister said.

"Understandable. In the next few years, you will be troubled to manage the daily affairs of England, Scotland and Ireland." Sophia said.

"No problem..." The Prime Minister just finished answering Sophia's words, and then felt that something was wrong, "How many years? Didn't you just go to the East to participate in the World Expo? The time of the World Expo should not exceed three months, plus The round-trip time should not exceed two years."

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I also want to take a vacation. I believe in the existence of the cabinet. Even if I am not here for a while, there will be no problems." Sophia said.

"But..." the Prime Minister said in embarrassment, if Sophia came back after too long, it is very likely that he would be reprimanded by Congress instead of Sophia.

"No, but obey the order, Your Excellency the Prime Minister." Sophia said.

"As you order, Her Majesty the Queen." The Prime Minister wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

The envoys from various countries are temporarily staying in the city of London. Many of them are princes and nobles from various countries. In order to show their financial resources and enjoy life, they hold a banquet in the city of London, which indirectly promotes the economic development of the city of London.

"Is the Queen of England also planning to go to the East?"

"Nine times out of ten, I will go there in person. After all, the person who holds the World Expo is the queen's husband."

"What the hell does he want us to see at their World's Fair? If it's a show of force, they've already captured Paris. What else do they want?"

The ambassadors from various countries communicated at the banquet, and the topic of course was on the United Kingdom, which has not yet sent an envoy.

All countries have sent envoys to stay temporarily in London, and they don't know who England will send to participate in the World Expo.
