British 1986

Seeing the confused look on Duke Angus's face, Allen pulled him and explained to him in a low voice some Internet leaks and what prerequisites needed to be met before the secrets would be leaked. Instead of this thing being like a ghost, he Secrets will be leaked.

"Oh like this?"

Duke Angus nodded. He knew everything about eating, drinking and having fun, but this novelty was no longer suitable for middle-aged and elderly people like him.

Let alone him, even if we push it forward twenty years, when smartphones are on the street, there will still be a large number of middle-aged people at that time who do not know how to use smartphones. People of every age group are very open to new things. The degree and level of understanding are different.

Allen nodded and glanced around as if he was looking at a local idiot. There were a lot of people coming to the meeting today, at least more than 300 people. The entire lounge was almost full, with five or six people per person. Most of them are small groups, gathering together and talking in low voices.

Suddenly, a fashionably dressed old man came into Allen's sight. This old man seemed to be from that family, right?

Not sure, Allen put his elbow on the Duke of Angus next to him and asked in a low voice: "Look at my 12 o'clock position, the man in the clothes looks like a dog, is he the Duke of Marlborough?"

"Well, let me take a look."

Duke Angus tiptoed slightly and glanced in the direction indicated by Allen. There were several old men standing together. The oldest one looked like he would die here at any time. It was a bit scary. The whole The man was so thin that he looked like a skeleton. The old man standing next to him was the one Alan was talking about.

"It seems to be him. This is the first time I saw him in the House of Lords. The one next to him seems to be... Hey, I wasn't married when I saw him last time. Why is this old guy here today? "

As Duke Angus talked, even a person like him with a very poor sense of politics felt that something was wrong today, let alone Alan next to him.

Ever since Duke Angus confirmed that the old man was the Duke of Marlborough, Allen felt that today's events were different from what he imagined.

First of all, the Duke of Marlborough doesn't come to the House of Lords often, just like Alan doesn't like to come to the House of Lords.

People like Allen would come over at least a few times throughout the year. Sometimes if there was something important, just make a phone call and he would come over.

But the Duke of Marlborough, who was so immovable, didn't come at all.

It's been decades since he took the throne, right?

He came to the House of Lords only a handful of times.

As for the people who can stand and chat with him, judging from their positions, even if their status is not higher than him, they are not inferior to him. In addition, they are not young. These old people get together and suddenly come. The House of Lords is in session.

These old guys are the vampires in many film and television works who sleep in coffins all year round in old castles. The inspiration and prototype come from them.

These people usually don't know which corner of the castle they are hiding in, and even the Queen doesn't know what they are doing.

Even if they really die one day, it's hard to say whether outsiders know or not.

They are so low-key that ordinary people have never even heard of some people's names.

Some people sarcastically talk about old people, and they are talking about these old people. The old castle, the decayed air, the outdated era, and the old body are just such a group of people hidden under the light and shadow. They can still pass through their loyal ministers. Servants come to "suck blood".

A group of people like this that you don't usually see appeared today. No matter how you look at it, it looks weird.

"The coffee you requested, Your Excellency."

The waiter's voice came to his ears. He was holding a tray with a cup of coffee with a lid on it. Allen nodded, picked it up and took a sip, barely swallowing it.

It tastes too bad. Don't expect the waiters here to provide any high-end products to the noble master. Allen estimates that this coffee is only slightly higher-end than the most rubbish instant coffee.

"Take it away, it doesn't taste good!"

After waving away the waiter, Allen whispered into Duke Angus's ear again.

"I haven't paid much attention to this place recently. Did something happen again? These old guys don't usually see each other."

"Nothing happened, it's all old stuff. Does the first draft of the document formally reducing the number of noble members of the House of Lords count?"

"Is this thing coming out?"

Allen's eyes widened when he heard this.

Wasn't it still being discussed some time ago?

Now the first draft has actually been published, so it is not far away from official implementation.

Although most noble gentlemen usually live a low-key life, some of them, even if they are members of the House of Lords, will not come even if they should.

But that doesn’t mean they don’t value this identity.

The House of Lords is a place where everyone can complain and speak freely.

If the number of MPs is reduced, what else will we do in the future?

First reduce the quota, then completely reduce the House of Lords, and finally directly abolish the House of Lords?

Does that mean that it's not far away from those politicians bent on wiping out all the nobles?

Thinking of this, Allen looked at the old guys in the distance again.

He has had some thoughts now. The reason why today is so lively seems to be because of leaks on the Internet. However, the fact that the Internet is the root cause may be just a reason. Some people want to use this Internet to hurt the nobles. For matters of profit, criticize Sang and Huai, or go one step further and make a bigger fuss to attract greater attention.

And with these old guys involved, there is a high probability that they will have passed the gas before coming.

Thinking of this, Allen frowned.

This group of old men, as the youngest and most promising aristocrat in Great Britain, no one even informed me in advance!

Is this being isolated? Or are you afraid that he will leak the secret?

You formed a group to do bad things together, but no one called me "I"? !

When he thought of this, Allen became very angry. Putting aside the fact, even if he was a royal minister, he was fundamentally different from the "foreign ministers" like them, and his identity did have the motive of informing. But Allen dared to slap his chest and swear to you on stage that if he really knew in advance that these people were going to cause trouble, he would definitely watch the fun and even provide them with some help.

As for leaks and complaints, Allen is too lazy to do it. It's good to make a fuss. The House of Lords has been silent for a long time. It's time to see what these old guys are doing and take the opportunity to learn.

"Isn't this the famous Earl of Carmarthen? Why are you here at the House of Lords today? Why has your information been leaked? I remember that you like to make adult movies, don't you? Instead of making your movies, come here to interfere. What?"

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

Allen was just talking about the old men in front of him. The Duke of Marlborough, whom he had just mentioned, turned his head and saw Allen's eyes light up. He walked up to Allen with a smile and said to Ange first. Duke Si nodded extremely perfunctorily, and mocked Allen.

Don't ask why this guy just came over to make fun of Alan when he saw him. It felt very inconsistent with the behavior he should have at his age, but the two families actually have a deep connection. When Alan asked Angus just now, he didn't have any respect for him. A little respect.

"Oh, you are. I have been busy with affairs recently and my mind is a little confused. Uncle Angus, this is... the descendant of the Duke of Marlborough whose ancestor fell in love with a mistress and competed with the late king for her mistress, right? Did I remember correctly?"

"."

Angus' old face turned red. They say that you don't slap someone in the face, and you don't expose someone's shortcomings when you scold them. What's more, the location he is in now is the lounge of the House of Lords. Although there are no reporters here, everyone is a noble.

But what Allen said was very vicious. Didn't you look at the expression on the face of the current Duke of Marlborough, which was already very bad?

You said you are not young anymore, why do you provoke young people?

The point is, it's hard for him to be sandwiched between the two of them. Just admit what Allen said. That would be too offending, right?

What Allen said is true. What should we do?

"You are so sharp-tongued, country people like you are so vulgar!"

Before Duke Angus could praise Allen, the Duke of Marlborough on the opposite side turned red, pointed at Allen, and said angrily.

"Tsk tsk tsk. According to the diary records of our ancestors, when he accompanied the late king on a visit to India, your ancestor seduced the Earl of Ellisford's wife while he was not at home. In the end, he also tsk tsk tsk. Oh, by the way, I I seem to remember that this information was posted online by my butler, and I don’t know if it was leaked this time.”

The incident that Allen is talking about here is the incident between the two families.

The whole thing is not too complicated. It's just that a noble son fell in love with a married woman. While her husband was on a business trip, the two of them had an affair. Later, they were discovered, which led to a series of events. A bloody plot.

The cause was probably more than a hundred years ago. As for the specific time, Allen can't remember clearly. Anyway, the Prince of Wales was still King Edward VII.

He is the Prince of Wales, so his captain of the guard must be an earl of the Hill family. Then when Edward VII went to India for an inspection, he not only brought the captain of the guard with him, but also the secretary-general.

His secretary-general was the Earl of Ellisford.

And this count’s wife looks very good!

Anyone who is engaged in literature knows it. He has been busy with official affairs for a long time, especially with Edward VII, a crown prince with great ambitions, there are even more things at hand.

If things go on like this, I will have more time to work overtime and less time to go home.

With less time to go home, the wife will inevitably feel alone and lonely.

It was at this time that her daughter-in-law hooked up with someone else, the eldest son of the then Duke of Marlborough.

Speaking of this, his younger brother was the father of the famous Prime Minister Churchill who later became famous.

Although the relationship here is a bit complicated, the relationship between the British and nobles is just like this, very messy.

Anyway, it was the young man who not only seduced the wife, but also had sex with her after the seduction.

When my husband came back from a business trip, he was discovered by the real owner!

In this case, things had started to get serious, and Edward VII, who was their monarch at the time, was very angry.

He ordered the Earl of Ellisford to divorce, and then let the seducer marry the countess.

But this young man was already married at the time, so he had to divorce first and then marry.

And he is the eldest son of the Duke of Marlborough!

The entire Marlborough family was extremely angry at Edward VII's arrangement, feeling that their family had been humiliated.

Finally, Churchill's father, the younger brother of the man who seduced wives, took the initiative to stand up and made a big move!

It turned out that the countess was not only indiscreet, but also had a lot of fun.

To what extent was it spent?

Before she met this young master, she was the mistress of Edward VII!

The details here are simply mind-numbing. The boss arranged for the secretary to work overtime frequently, and then hooked up with the secretary’s wife.

Think about how miserable the Earl of Ellisford was. He was the worst among them, but no one cared about him from the beginning to the end. At first, he was grateful to Edward VII, thinking that this was the monarch to whom he was loyal to for supporting him. Come on, who knew it would be like this.

Churchill's father wrote directly to Edward VII, clearly stating that if he did not withdraw his insulting orders to his eldest brother, several love letters he wrote to the countess would be made public!

Edward VII was also a ruthless man. He hated to see others threaten him, let alone a child of an aristocrat who did not have the status of an aristocrat. Even if it means losing some reputation, he will accept it.

In the end, he fell out with Churchill's father on the spot. Churchill's father was also adamant and was stunned to expose the matter. The popularity of this matter at that time was no less than that of the phone recording between Boss Cha and Karami two years ago. Exposed, the matter was later resolved only after Queen Anne came forward.

Anyway, Allen only knew about the last thing. The diary of his ancestors in the family contained some vague records. It was said that Edward VII asked him to quietly deal with a few people, and then nothing happened. This matter was regarded as the royal family of that year. One of the scandals, it was once forbidden to be mentioned, especially after Edward VII came to power, it was strictly forbidden to talk about it.

Since then, the Marlborough family and the Hill family have been at loggerheads. Anyway, neither side can do anything to the other. They have not interacted with each other for a long time, and they basically cannot see each other. But as long as people from both sides meet, who will see it? No one is pleasing to the eye, and ridicule is an understatement.

If Allen hadn't been afraid of causing trouble, it wouldn't have been impossible to beat the old man on the spot.

"You, you, you, shameless." As soon as he heard that Allen had asked the butler to post the scandal of the year on the Internet, the current Duke of Marlborough turned pale. The ancestor of their family had lived a glorious life, but now such a scandal would be used by outsiders. Insulting, the key is that he can't do anything yet!

The scandal that happened more than a hundred years ago can still hurt him now!

"Haha. I just heard, what are you secretly preparing? Is this happening? Why didn't you call me?"

Allen took two steps forward, patted the old guy's shoulder cordially, put his arm on his shoulder, and continued chatting with him with a familiar look on his face.

"???"

Hearing Allen's words, the expression of the current Duke of Marlborough changed again. As expected, he is from a family that does dirty work all year round. His nose is sharper than that of a hunting dog. He mocked him, and Allen had already asked him if he was. What are you plotting!
