Wild North America 1846

Chapter 421 Dismissed Together
Li Cha knew very well what the second prince, Tang Li Geng, did in France. As the fifth heir to the throne for the time being, his demeanor was indeed a little loose, which made people feel tongue-tied.

But the so-called; people do not flirt in vain youth.

His Royal Highness Tang-Li Geng is only 15 years old, when he is full of blood, he wants to calmly face the prosperous dreams of Paris, and the noble girls and beautiful women who swarm up like moths to the flame will not be tempted. It is indeed difficult.

Perhaps some imperial dignitaries complained about the second prince's depravity in Paris, thinking that it affected the image of the empire.

But Li Cha doesn't see it that way;
Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, caring about other people's opinions, and if they insist on dressing themselves up as saints who don't eat the fireworks of the world, they will never grow into towering trees.

The prince is also a young man with flesh and blood, if the second prince Tang Li Geng chooses to live a decadent life in the world, it is only his personal choice, and he is destined to miss the throne.

If it's just for fun for a while, it won't hurt the big festival, just a little discipline.

On the contrary, the civil and military courtiers around His Royal Highness Tang-Li Geng, the second prince, were all unqualified and needed to be replaced immediately. Everyone's files had to be marked, and there was no hope of promotion in the future.

Li Cha is such a wise person, of course he would not reprimand the Second Prince Li Geng in public, it would make those interested European aristocrats laugh at him.He hoped that the second prince, Li Geng, would realize the true truth of life by himself, so that he could live up to his painstaking efforts.

really want to talk

The life of Edward, Prince of Wales in the United Kingdom is extremely corrupt. He indulges in wine and meat all day long, crawls from one bed to another, and has countless mistresses. His situation is not an exception in the European royal family.

Has such nonsense affected the reputation of the British Empire?

The next series of state visits filled the schedule of Emperor Li Cha of the Tang Empire, and he couldn't stop like a revolving lantern.

evening of the day
Emperor Richard of the Tang Empire attended the grand royal banquet at Buckingham Palace specially organized by Her Majesty Queen Victoria for this visit. British royal family nobles and European royal families living in the United Kingdom, kings, queens, princes, princesses, many dukes, marquises and prestigious and Influential members of the upper class gathered together, gentlemen and ladies gathered, and the scene was unprecedentedly grand.

"I am very grateful to Your Majesty for your kindness. I think this is the best example of the close relationship between the British Empire and the Tang Empire, reflecting the high level of political, economic, and military cooperation between the two countries.

And this is inseparable from Her Majesty Queen Victoria's benevolent goodwill policy. The royal family of the Tang Empire has always insisted on taking Britain as the core foreign policy. I hope to continue and continuously strengthen this traditional friendship and form a close relationship between countries in the world. A model of partnership…”

The impassioned public speech made by Emperor Li Cha of the Tang Empire at the royal banquet was interrupted by countless warm applause. European nobles left an indelible impression.

The grand royal dinner is in the form of a cold dinner party. The long table is covered with white tablecloths, and the beautiful porcelain and flowers look beautiful under the reflection of the delicate candlesticks.

But the food... ahem, I really can't compliment it.

The waiter in a tuxedo shuttled through the crowd holding a silver tray full of champagne glasses. Richard was holding a champagne glass in his hand and was laughing with Queen Victoria, King George I of Greece and His Majesty Cumberland-Hanover, King of Hanover Yingying conversation.

some of

King George I of Greece was only 19 years old. He was the second son of King Christie IX of Denmark and inherited the throne of the Greek dynasty of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg in 1863 , because the country is small and weak, it is a qualified background board.

The Duke of Cumberland, King of Hanover in the German Confederation, was the fifth uncle of Queen Victoria of England, and a branch of the Lünenburg branch of the Brownschwig Dynasty. After years of development, he became the Electorate of Hanover in 1692.

Since then, the royal family members have taken the country as their surname and changed their name to the Hannover branch, that is, the Hannover dynasty.

After defeating the French emperor Napoleon who dominated Europe in 1814, with the consent of the great powers, the Electorate of Hanover became a formal European feudal kingdom, which is inextricably linked with the Hanoverian Dynasty in the United Kingdom.

If you really want to write it out, it will take a big thick book.

"Your Majesty the Queen, I remember that the close and friendly relationship between the Tang Empire and the United Kingdom originated from His Royal Highness Prince Albert. He is a true nobleman with noble character. Unfortunately, he was called by the Lord. This is also in my heart. Something that has been deeply regretted. I would like to express my deep condolences to you..."

Richard's words evoked Queen Victoria's deep thoughts on her deceased husband. This strong woman couldn't help but her eyes turned red, and she still maintained her elegant etiquette and replied; "Thank you, Your Majesty for your sincere greetings. The empire is saddened by Albert's cruel departure, which is an eternal pain in the heart of Great Britain."

"I can deeply feel this, and I ask Her Majesty the Queen to express my condolences."

"It's nothing, it's all over." Queen Victoria forcibly suppressed the ups and downs of her heart, but her voice became high-pitched involuntarily, and said;

"Albert is always so elegant and gentleman, he likes to study mysterious oriental things, he is very obsessed with the spoiled porcelain brought back by the expeditionary army, and often stays alone in bottles and jars all day long.

He compared those oriental characters and symbols with a thick book, and he didn't even care about eating, as if he was possessed by a demon.

Oh god, my heart hurts just thinking about it...

Sorry to excuse me for a moment. "

"Forgive my presumptuous mention of..."

"No...Thank you for remembering Albert, I'll accompany you if I have a chance..."

After all, Queen Victoria is a woman, and she is a woman in her 21s who has loved her husband deeply for [-] years. When talking about Prince Albert, the eyes of this strong Queen of England have been covered with mist, and her voice has become Choked up.

Surrounded by the British royal attendants, Queen Victoria quickly left the luxurious dome banquet hall. This change aroused the whispers of nobles from far and near. They were always concerned about the most dazzling kings in the center of the stage.

Richard couldn't help but sigh, even though he knew that Queen Victoria would be deeply immersed in missing Prince Albert for the next 40 years, until the last moment of her life.

He still deliberately mentioned Prince Albert's strong interest in the east, of course, to make Queen Victoria miss the close friendship between the Tang Empire and Prince Albert from time to time, and this trick seems to have worked.

"Your Majesty, I know that you are a legendary oriental monarch, but this is too cruel." Hanover King Cumberland Hanover said with some dissatisfaction.

"No... Forgetting means betrayal. Sometimes pain can deepen the longing for the dead." Li Cha replied, his expression turned solemn; "In the whole of Europe, out of good yearning, no matter who will be I was moved by the loyal love of Queen Victoria and my cousin Prince Albert, and so am I."

"Sorry, I didn't see that."

"Perhaps the emotion expressed by the Orientals is more reserved. Your Majesty the King, you shouldn't fight me because of this, right?"

"I wouldn't do it unless I was crazy. The name "Richard the Devil" can stop children from crying all over Europe. Even the most impulsive Frenchman would dare not throw a glove at you. It would be tantamount to embracing death." Kan Grand Duke Bran shook his head like a drum, not ashamed of being cowardly.

The tall oriental king in front of him is known to be unstoppable, with amazing arm strength and marvelous marksmanship, which has been spread among the upper class European aristocrats.

The Grand Duke of Cumberland is an authentic German, but this German is not Peter Will, nor is he an iron-blooded and warlike Prussian Junker military aristocrat.

The so-called the older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are.

Facing Li Cha's blatantly provocative joke, the Duke of Cumberland resolutely admitted his cowardice, while the young George I beside him was already overwhelmed by the powerful aura of the Eastern Emperor. Shake your head.

"That's good... I think you all agree with me. The close friendship across the Atlantic is very important to all of our countries. The Tang Empire is ready to further develop, including trade, with Greece and the countries of the German Confederation..."

"I'm sorry to disturb Your Majesty. I am Viscount Gilchbach from the Woods area. I am deeply dissatisfied with your reckless behavior of deliberately provoking Her Majesty Queen Victoria, and I officially challenge you."

"Oh……"

Richard was chatting with the Duke of Cumberland and King George I. This sudden interruption made him stop abruptly. He turned his eyes in surprise to look at the iron-headed young British nobleman in front of him, and couldn't help being a little speechless.

This era
The British Empire and the French Empire, who fought in all directions, came out in large numbers, and there are really some young people who are not afraid of death.

No... he met one right in front of him.

"Are you serious? Mr. Viscount." Li Cha asked with a cold face.

Just now, Queen Victoria had already cried before she walked out of the luxurious dome hall, and her face was covered with tears. This deeply stimulated the young British nobles and made them challenge the Eastern Emperor regardless of etiquette.

Just like Don Quixote who sacrificed his life, he faithfully fulfilled the mission of the British nobility.

Viscount Kirchbach saluted the knight respectfully, but his tone was extremely decisive, and said: "I am honored to win the fierce debate with my companions, and I will take the lead in presenting to you...the awesome Eastern Emperor His Majesty. I challenge you to defend the honor of my British royal family, and I ask you to accept the tribute of Viscount Kirchbach."

Richard nodded appreciatively, and turned to His Royal Highness Edward, Prince of Wales who hurried over and asked, "Oh... my dear Royal Highness, please don't worry about my identity and rashly accept the challenge of a British nobleman. Harm the close royal friendship between Tang and Britain?"

"Your Majesty, the duel challenge originated from the ancient aristocratic tradition. The British royal family has a respectful attitude towards it, and firmly believes that this is a manifestation of the honor and courage of the traditional aristocrats, and will not damage the relationship between the two countries in the slightest. Be optimistic." The young and flamboyant Prince of Wales seemed to be watching the excitement and not afraid of big things, and his tone was full of provocation.

Impulsively, the Prince of Wales wanted to save face for Her Majesty the Queen without thinking about it, without any regard for his honorable status as the Emperor of the Tang Empire.

If it is said that there is no instigation and incitement by the secret investigation, that fool will not believe it.

Generally speaking

The monarch of a country will never participate in this kind of reckless duel among nobles. This was explicitly banned by the royal families of various European countries in the 17th century, but the prohibition continued, and private duels between nobles never stopped.

It is a rare event that the British nobles challenge the monarch of a country to a duel.

Li Cha smiled calmly and said loudly;

"Distinguished guests, elegant gentlemen and ladies;
I am visiting European countries with sincere friendship this time, intending to establish closer and friendly bilateral relations with European countries, and this will be the unswerving policy of the Datang Empire, which will be carefully maintained for a long time.

I have the deepest respect for the feelings of Her Majesty and Prince Albert, no offense is intended and I do not wish to be interpreted maliciously.

The young Viscount Kirchbach impulsively challenged an emperor. I can forgive his recklessness, and I can also understand the urgency of the Viscount to maintain his glory.

Out of benevolent considerations, I can ask Mr. Viscount Kirschbach to take back his impulsive words, and make a solemn apology in front of all the nobles, and let this episode be over.

so……"

Li Cha turned to Viscount Gilchbach with a majestic expression, and asked word by word; "Are you taking back your reckless duel words, now you have one last chance."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, unless Viscount Gilchbach is willing to die on the spot and lose the last bit of face of the British nobles, he will never break his promise.

The young Viscount Kirchbach was really impulsive, and he saluted respectfully again and said, "Your Majesty, I implore you to grant my wish."

"Very good. You are a British nobleman who has the courage to defend your honor. I appreciate that. Is there anyone else who wants to challenge you? I don't have the patience to deal with them one by one, so I simply accept the challenge together."

Li Cha's blatant declaration caused an uproar, and many nobles shouted loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, who will you send to deal with the challenge of the nobles?"

"Yes, I heard that there are many mysterious masters in the Eastern royal family."

"I can't believe it, this is crazy, is Your Majesty going to challenge everyone?"

"Oh, God……"

In the chaos, 17 passionate nobles stepped forward successively, including young people and middle-aged people, British nobles, German nobles and French nobles. The European nobles are actually one family.

"Is there any more? Come out if you have anything. I'll just send it away together." Li Cha said domineeringly, which made the Duke of Cumberland standing next to him look unbelievable, blurted out, and asked;
"Your Majesty, don't tell me, are you preparing to meet the duel challenge of so many people alone?"

"You guessed it right, Your Excellency the Grand Duke of Cumberland, you will witness the most unforgettable scene in your life."
