British 1986

The Duke of Marlborough slapped away Allen's hand that was grabbing his shoulder, and frowned at Allen.

Theoretically speaking, each of these hereditary noble families, especially the top nobles, must unite together so as not to be further oppressed by politicians.

But this is all theoretical. No matter where people go, they must have factions. A group without factions has no soul.

As for Allen, his family is no longer considered a faction within the nobility. These nobles are too deeply tied to the royal family and have separated from the ordinary factions.

The Duke of Marlborough and the others were mainly considering their own interests. On the premise that their own interests were harmed, they only stayed together to keep warm and minimize the losses.

This kind of thing is unnecessary and will not involve Allen. He is still afraid that Allen will sit on the wall.

But now that Allen asked, the Duke of Marlborough didn't want to show weakness and deliberately refused to admit that this was not his style. He would have to talk about it in the meeting later. If he escaped now and was known to outsiders, he would think he was afraid of his eyes. Here's this country boy.

"Even if some people are going to die, they still want to die in a worthy way and make their death worthwhile for the companions behind them. Do you understand? What do you, a country person like you who only know how to live in a nest, know? Humph."

The Duke of Marlborough, in terms of appearance alone, is quite elegant. He did not wear a parliamentary uniform today, but only wore a dark gray suit. When Allen said that he looked like a dog, he meant that he was not only in a suit. He was wearing leather shoes, and even his hair was smeared with old-fashioned hair oil. His shiny blond hair was combed back, and he looked like a big shot.

But there was just such a person, standing in front of him, looking at him with a sinister look, as if he was looking at a country bumpkin again and again.

How has Allen ever been so angry since he succeeded to the throne?

No matter how much others look down on him when he's not in front of him, that's their business, but when two people are face to face, with a countryman on the left and a look of contempt on the other, it's a bit contemptuous!

Allen had a bad temper originally, but he could hold it back just now because he was well-behaved and didn't want to escalate the atmosphere before the meeting. He wanted to wait for a while to watch the show.

Now it seems that this Lao Deng, if you don't give him some clues, he can't tell who is the big king.

"Uh-huh!"

The smile on Allen's face disappeared instantly. The hand that had just been knocked off suddenly grabbed the Duke of Marlborough's collar, and even his carefully decorated tie was caught in Allen's hand, and he pushed forward fiercely. pull.

The Duke of Marlborough was suddenly pulled by this, and his eyes popped out slightly. He was pulled by Allen to face Allen directly, and their faces were almost touching.

"Has anyone ever told you that I don't have a good temper? You are a Duke and you are amazing? Do you believe that I will take people to your house tonight to level up your family's manor? Huh?"

"I remember that you have two sons, right? Does your family still have the tradition of having a son die when a son is born? Do you seem to care about your younger son very much? You said that if I cut off his head, hang him How will the queen punish me at the gate of your castle? Huh?"

The Duke of Marlborough's family, similar to the Hill family, has been depressed in recent years, especially when it comes to the first Duke. His eldest son died in infancy, and he gave birth to a second son, whose brain is still a little abnormal.

Then this guy got divorced and found another wife, and continued to have children. This time, the new wife still gave him a son with his first child, but the fate of this child seemed to be cursed, and he died young again. Finally, she gave birth to a younger son.

This time, the younger son was quite intelligent, which he liked very much. There were even rumors that he even wanted to take away the inheritance rights from the second son born to him by his ex-wife, and then pass the title of Duke to that younger son.

Allen was face to face with him, looking into each other's eyes, using this person to threaten him. At this moment, the Duke of Marlborough really felt murderous intent in this young man, Allen!

This thing is very mysterious, but he feels that Allen still has a lot of lives on his hands. This is not something that ordinary people can cultivate in a short time.

"Alan, don't forget the bottom line between nobles, how dare you"

The Duke of Marlborough's face flushed red from being strangled, but he still retorted rather forcefully.

"See if I dare!"

"Okay, okay, calm down. You won't be laughed at. The meeting is about to start. Let's go in, Alan. Calm down."

Duke Angus's chubby hands reached between the two of them and forcibly opened Allen's hand. The Duke of Marlborough suddenly took half a step back and looked at Allen with a look of hatred on his face, and then looked at A glimpse of the unsightly suit that was ruined by Allen.

Allen just stood there, looking at Duke Marlborough. His eyes were extremely sinister, and the hair on Duke Marlborough's body stood up when he looked at him.

"Wait a minute, today's business between us is not over yet. I have plenty of time. Let's play slowly. You can't run away!"

Duke Marlborough looked at Allen who followed Duke Angus into the conference hall after saying harsh words. He still maintained his tough expression on his face, but he was already a little kicked in his heart.

Allen is different from his father. This is also the first time that the Duke of Marlborough comes into contact with Allen. In the past, he only used his words in front of Allen and his father, bullying the martial artist for being arrogant.

But now, he and Allen just faced each other, and not only did he not get the advantage verbally, but he was also threatened by Allen!

And it looks like this guy is ready to play for real!

This kind of character that strikes at every disagreement is like a mad dog. The Duke of Marlborough has already begun to regret coming to mock Allen!

The more opponents you have, the more you know about the inside story of the Hill family.

You can laugh at them for living in Wales and being country bumpkins. You can laugh at them for having no money, taste, or even culture.

But their strength cannot be ignored.

People have been able to suppress a place in Wales for hundreds of years, but how can they suppress it if they don’t have two brushes?

In the past, everyone just met and exchanged a few words, which was okay, but now it would be really scary to play with such a professional and ruthless opponent.

This has nothing to do with everyone's title. Although they are earls, their ancestors are border earls. This is not the same thing as an ordinary earl!

He didn't even know what he would do if he was targeted by such a person. He could only be a thief for a thousand days, so how could he guard against a thief for a thousand days?

"What's wrong, John? Did you have a conflict with that guy just now?"

The Duke of Marlborough stared at Allen's retreating back in trance, and a voice from the side interrupted his thinking.

Turning around, he saw a handsome middle-aged man standing next to him. He had a long face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked extremely bookish.

This is the contemporary Duke of Somerset, who only succeeded to the throne a few years ago, and this time he was also roped in to build momentum.

"That boy is from the Hill family who succeeded you two years later. I have never seen him before. He just came over to say hello. Country people are just rude. It's no big deal. Let's go."

The Duke of Somerset, who had just been watching the whole process, looked at the Duke of Marlborough, smiled, and nodded slightly. He didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing. He was different from the Duke of Marlborough. , he is still young and very kind-hearted, but he doesn't like to make enemies everywhere, especially with a petty person like Allen. It is not good to provoke such a person.

The expected group of old men making a fuss in the House of Lords did not happen at all.

Even though there were many people here today and it was very chaotic, after the meeting started, the entire venue was extremely quiet.

In the past, there would be many empty seats in the first few rows, reserved for more than thirty dukes. But today, they were almost half full. You can imagine how many old guys came.

According to the initial introduction, Allen has got everyone right.

The Laodengs who came today are all kinds of people.

Although there were books introducing various nobles at home, Allen rarely read them. Even if he remembered them after reading them at the time, they didn't meet each other afterwards, and everyone didn't interact with each other. After a long time, he couldn't remember them clearly. In addition, he was in power. Time was short, and the people he knew were limited. Some old guys didn't show up for years, so he couldn't tell who was who.

But there is a little trick for identifying British nobles, and Allen knows it.

When it is announced to the outside world, everyone is unified as a noble of the British Empire. This is a unified name.

But when introducing it internally, this introduction alone is very particular.

For example, if Allen himself wants to speak, when he comes to the House of Lords for the first time, or when he comes again after a long absence, there will be a minister of the House of Lords above, who will introduce him before he speaks: "The next person to speak is the English nobleman, Alan Hill, Earl of Carmarthen."

This introduction may seem unremarkable, but there is a deep secret inside!

For example, the English aristocrat introduced at the front refers to his family's background.

The English nobility refers specifically to the English nobility before 1800, that is, the old aristocracy before the United Kingdom was established.

It can be reflected from this title that he is an English nobleman with pure blood and upright roots.

The same is true in several other places. Before the establishment of the United Kingdom, nobles were introduced by single-power names, such as Irish nobles, Scottish nobles, and Welsh nobles.

As soon as this introduction came out, normal people should understand that the family history of his family starts at least two hundred years ago, and ordinary people cannot afford to offend him.

The subsequent introduction of the titles is more simple and direct. For those with and without fiefs, you can tell who is more powerful just by listening to the title name. It is simple and direct. At the end, add the name, and that's it.

Just a few words, but a lot of information.

Later, when some new noble families were introduced, there was a new classification called United Kingdom nobles. This specifically refers to the nobles who were canonized after the establishment of the United Kingdom.

There are a large number of families here, most of them have shallow foundations. In order to make it easier for people to understand which family is stronger, in this case, it is necessary to listen carefully to the titles behind it. Some families have a short history, but they have great military exploits and are very strong. , ordinary people cannot afford to offend him, such as the Duke of Wellington who defeated Napoleon. He is the strongest among the nobles of the United Kingdom.

As for those who come to make up the numbers, they are not hereditary life-long nobles. They have little say, and there is no specific introduction to them. Everyone will understand it when they mention the titles. This is a better distinction.

Allen just listened to the Duke for a while, the Marquis for a while, and several people chatted with the ministers of the House of Lords for a long time.

First, they mentioned what their ancestors were like back then. Anyway, they just talked about their great achievements for everyone to listen to.

After the lengthy introduction to his deeds, Allen was shocked. Isn't it time to move on to the exciting part?

Fight! Scold! You old immortals come here for a meeting. If you don't rely on your old age and show off your old age, what kind of immortality are you? !

"Dear Minister, my ancestor has made so many contributions to the empire. In recognition of his contribution, he was given a title. Now someone has leaked our information online, and even further reduced the House of Lords. Can I understand that the seats of noble members are another weakening of the noble class? A malicious target?"

The old voice echoed throughout the audience. The minister of the House of Lords sitting above him listened to the old guy opposite him honestly. He had no choice. He was older and had a higher title.

Allen folded his hands and frowned and "listened". The old man spoke clearly and clearly. He talked about history first, then credit, and finally the experience. He didn't make any noise or fuss, only speculation.

Everyone is well aware of this speculation, but he dares to say it directly, but the ministers of the House of Lords dare not admit it.

There are some things that you can do, even do them ruthlessly, but you just can't say it clearly!

This is something that everyone has acquiesced to in recent years. Times have changed and the general trend cannot be violated.

Why did Churchill grit his teeth and refuse the title of Duke of London?

This is so that he can continue to be prime minister and continue to be in politics, and even his children can also be in politics!

A true nobleman cannot serve in the House of Commons now!

Just for this reason, Qiu Zhongtang cruelly gave up his title of Duke. Now his son has been dead for many years, and his family has been abolished.

But these old guys are different. They sit in their positions honestly. Even if the policies have changed over the years, they are as stable as a rock.

Inheritance tax is expensive, right?

If I live a long time, even if I don’t die, and I don’t need to pass on my throne to future generations, how can you collect my inheritance tax?

Faced with this kind of hob meat, whoever sees it will have a headache!

Now, if an old guy like this stands there and talks to you slowly, who dares not to listen?

"I've learned, I've learned that everything can't be solved with violence. Sometimes you have to be kind. The older you get, the more kind you become, eh."

Allen took out his notebook and wrote it down no matter whether he needed it or not. When he gets old, he plans to follow the example of the old man before him and play this trick in the House of Lords. By the time he gets old, it is estimated that he will It is also the immortality in the eyes of young people.

"Inheritance tax, leaking secrets, reducing the number of parliamentarians, what's the next step? Are we not dead yet? Can't they wait to eradicate us so that they can better divide the empire's assets? Ah?! This is putting us to death. Come on!"

The ministers of the House of Lords felt dizzy when they heard the protest of the old duke in front of them.

He didn't dare to answer these words. Although today was an internal meeting, and all the people present were nobles, it was not easy for him to answer even on this occasion. In this case, if he didn't pay attention, several other old guys would change their expressions. His face will change!
