Mentioning Bishop Fowler, many dusty memories immediately appeared in Mavey's mind.
I think Bishop Fowler caused them a lot of trouble back in New Ross City.
Even if everything turned out to be safe in the end, Ma Wei still didn't have a good impression of him.
Goodbye now...
"Bishop Fowler is the Bishop of Lambeth, right?"
The second prince exhaled a puff of smoke and replied: "Yes, he was originally the bishop of the Diocese of Wexford on the West Island. He was sent by the church to supervise the local area. If there were no accidents, he should have been transferred back to London at the end of last year and entered the Cardinal Church.
It’s a group.”
The Diocese of Wexford in the West Island is larger than London and has several cities including New Ross. However, it is a border area after all, far away from the political core, and you will not have a good future there.
In comparison, although the Diocese of Lambeth in London is not even as good as the city of New Ross, its status is much higher than before, and it also has more opportunities to enter the College of Cardinals and participate in the decision-making of major church affairs.
Bishop Fowler dreams of entering the College of Cardinals. Only by entering the College of Cardinals can he become a candidate for archbishop. Only by becoming an archbishop can he run for the pope.
Bishop Fowler, who is already very old, feels that he will not be able to become the Pope in his lifetime. He has a very clear positioning of himself. His goal is to be a Cardinal. If there is a chance, he will strive for the position of Archbishop. The Pope would not dare to even think about it.
.
If he hadn't met the Truth Society and Marvie Enders, he might have had a chance to realize all of this...
"Isn't New Ross City the birthplace of the Church of Truth?" Ma Wei asked insinuatingly: "A hostile organization like the Church of Truth appeared in the jurisdiction, and Bishop Fowler was not punished?"
"I'm not very clear about the specific situation. I only heard a few words from Archbishop Brandon." The second prince thought carefully: "It is said that the church did not deal with Bishop Fowler explicitly at that time. Don't look at Bishop Fowler being sent to the West Island.
, but he was originally the bishop of the Diocese of Birmingham, only half a step away from becoming a cardinal. As long as he returns safely from the West Island, he can enter the cardinal college..."
"Mavi Enders and the members of the Church of Truth were released. On the surface, the Pope only reprimanded him verbally. In fact, Bishop Fowler had lost his qualifications to enter the College of Cardinals, if that incident had not happened."
"That thing? Which thing was it?" Ma Wei asked.
The second prince looked over strangely: "Nicholas, why are you so curious about Bishop Fowler?"
"I'm not curious about him." Ma Wei flicked the ash from his cigarette and said calmly: "I'm curious about the Church of Truth. Aren't they hostile to the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny? It's always right to pay attention."
"You have a high level of awareness, so you should think like this."
After a pause, the second prince continued: "The reason why Bishop Fowler was transferred back to London was because he recommended a man to the church. This man was named Cassim Cecil. He was originally a believer of the Church of Truth. In order to protect
His mother chose to join the Church of the Goddess of Destiny, something Mavey Enders doesn’t know about.”
"Although Qasim Cecil is a believer in the Church of Truth, he has not been blessed by the goddess, nor does he sincerely believe in the truth. Instead, it is his mother who devoutly believes in the goddess of truth, Yunia..."
"It was precisely with this in mind that when Mavy Enders fled New Ross City, he ordered him to stay, break into the Church of the Goddess of Destiny as a traitor, collect useful information, and give it to his mother to convey to him through prayer.
Goddess of Truth, but Qasim Cecil completely surrendered to us, and he became a double agent!"
The second prince became more and more excited as he spoke: "Nicholas, do you know what this means? We can pass false information to the Church of Truth at any time! Confuse their judgment! We can even learn some important things about them! Cassim
Cecil is so important! His existence is of strategic significance! It was because of his influence that Bishop Fowler was transferred back to London by the Pope."
Cassim Cecil, Mrs. Cecil's only son, a Rosslare Army soldier, is also an old believer in the Church of Truth.
Ma Wei and he met entirely because of Mrs. Cecil. During the three years of establishing the church, they gradually became familiar with each other and became close friends.
Cassim's loyalty is unquestionable, and his loyal target is not the goddess of truth, but Mave Enders.
Letting him break into the Church of the Three Destinies was also to protect Mrs. Cecil who stayed in New Ross City. Ma Wei believed that he would not betray her.
When the revolution was victorious and the Church of Truth became the state religion of the Romanov Kingdom, Cassim naturally attracted the attention of the Church of the Three Destinies. The rise of the Church of Truth was inevitable. In this case, it was necessary to find a way to deal with it.
What Mavey did not expect was that Bishop Fowler would return to London and even become the Bishop of Lambeth through his relationship with Cassim Cecil.
But it doesn't matter. In New Ross City, Bishop Fowler was the great enemy of the Church of Truth. Now in London, a mere bishop has been unable to attract Ma Wei's attention.
The gap between them has widened, and the enemies of the past now look like clowns.
As an acquaintance, Ma Wei didn't want to pay much attention to Bishop Fowler - as long as he didn't continue to cause trouble to him.
"Where is Qasim Cecil now? London?"
"In order not to arouse the suspicion of Mrs. Cecil and the Church of Truth, he is still in New Ross City." The second prince said: "After all, the statue of the Goddess of Truth is there, so it is useless for him to come to London."
Ma Wei nodded: "Second Prince, why did you mention Bishop Fowler? He is just a bishop, will it have any impact on the election?"
"Of course it has an impact!" The second prince took a deep breath from his cigar, with smoke lingering in his mouth: "Fowler is the bishop of Lambeth District. He is responsible for managing the believers in Lambeth District. In Lambeth District, his prestige is very high, and
He also supports Prince Charles, and with just a little appeal, believers will vote for Conservative MP Donal Pat!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Baron Frederick also said at this time: "Your Highness is right, Bishop Fowler is quite capable. Although he has only been in London for a few months, he
He has created a high prestige in the hearts of believers in Lambeth District. He responds to all requests from believers and even helps some poor families. During the election campaign, he will definitely cause us a lot of trouble."
"This is a really tough question."
Ma Wei frowned, "Can't you move him out of Lambeth?"
"It's difficult." Baron Frederick said: "Bishop Fowler is a member of the Archbishop of Cambury. The relationship between the Archbishop of Cambury and the Archbishop of Brandon is not harmonious, and they are also competitive with each other. Since the marketization of potions,
, Archbishop Brandon's status has surpassed that of Archbishop of Cambury, becoming the first person under the Pope, Archbishop of Cambury is naturally not happy."
There is also competition among churches. The Church of Truth has just been established, and the competition is not yet obvious. It is not surprising that an old church like the Church of the Three Destinies has internal fights. Everyone wants to be the Pope, just like many people want to be.
Like a king.
With the realm of immortality, the Archbishop of Cambury should be the first person in the church besides the Pope. If the Pope dies, he will also be the most powerful competitor for the position of Pope. Now being suppressed by Archbishop Brandon, it is impossible not to have any resentment at all.
.
If Archbishop Brandon wants to transfer Bishop Fowler out of Lambeth, he will definitely be blocked by the Archbishop of Cambury.
In short, this election is not only a campaign for members, but also a battle between factions within the church.
For so many years, the Liberal Party has been suppressed by the Conservative Party. Now that it finally has a chance to make a comeback, how can the second prince give up?
What the mayor of the small town of Beckensfield said is absolutely right, when the opportunity comes, if you seize it, you can turn around!
The Liberal Party, which has always been committed to trade and market freedom, has come up with a new trend - magic potion. The emergence of magic potion has had a big impact on the Conservative Party. It is difficult for the old nobles to suppress the rise of emerging nobles. Magic potion is destined to bloom everywhere.
The economy of the Kingdom of Windsor will also reach a higher level...
The Lambeth district election seems to be a competition between Marvey and Donal Pat. In fact, it is a confrontation between the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party, old ideas and new ideas!
"I'm planning to get rid of Donal Pat." Baron Frederick took a sip from his tea cup, moistened his throat and said: "Donal Pat was the winner of the last election. He is not too big.
There is nothing wrong with his achievements. He is quite satisfactory. The people neither love nor hate him. It is not wise to compete with him head-on. We should adopt roundabout tactics to reduce his prestige in the eyes of the people in order to achieve your goal.
A winning result.”
"How to do it exactly?"
"Find some black material, publicize it in the newspapers, and completely ruin his reputation." Baron Frederick narrowed his eyes and sneered: "The people are the most easily incited, and rational people are only a minority. Many times,
The truth is not important. People are often only willing to believe the answers in their own minds, and everyone has their own dark history. Who has not made mistakes? If you catch small mistakes and magnify them infinitely, you can destroy Donal Pat!
"
"My father-in-law, Baron Frederick, has a very good relationship with the editor-in-chief of The Times and the Daily Mail." The second prince said: "Just say hello and send the dirty information, and the rest will be done.
Don’t worry, someone will take care of it.”
Black stuff...
Ma Wei suddenly remembered the list that Dino gave him. There was indeed a congressman named Donal Pat on the list. If there was no congressman with the same name in the parliament, there was a high probability that he would be this congressman.
Not only that, Donal Pat is also a member of the Nightingale Club and one of the confidants of Prince Charles.
There really isn't a lot of dirt on him. Those who can be elected as members of Congress pay great attention to this aspect and will not reveal their clues easily. However, there is no airtight wall in the world. Donal Pat is very cautious, but his
His son, Petri Pat, once entrusted the Pluto Chamber of Commerce to transport several batches of goods for his pharmaceutical company.
To be precise, it's smuggling.
Without customs permission and no relevant procedures, Petri Pat transported three tons of high-purity opium to Belfast two years ago, using the channels of the Pluto Chamber of Commerce.
Made into expensive potions at low prices, Petri Pat's pharmaceutical company made a huge profit. Not only that, in order to sell the potions better, Petri Pat also added a large amount of opium extract to the baby potions.
It has launched a cough medicine called 'Baby Ning', which claims to make babies calmer and healthier.
It goes without saying that the dangers of opium and drugs are harmful, but unfortunately, in the eyes of the people of the Kingdom of Windsor today, opium is a very common drug. When it comes to treating some difficult and complicated diseases, opium often has miraculous effects.
Even the facial creams commonly used by women contain arsenic.
The real threat to Donal Pat is smuggling.
Smuggling has seriously endangered national interests and security. As a member of the House of Commons elected through general elections, he is most taboo about using power for personal gain. Once the public knows what Donal Pat's son has done...
Do you suspect Donal Pat?
Of course, such important information cannot be revealed directly. Ma Wei cannot explain the source of his intelligence.
"Did Donal Pat's son open a company selling pharmaceuticals?" Ma Wei suddenly asked.
"Yes, that's right, there is such a thing." The second prince nodded: "It is a pharmaceutical company, and its products are quite popular. I have cough medicine produced by their company at home..."
The second prince waved his hand, summoned the maid, and asked her to bring a bottle of viscous brown liquid that hit the transparent glass jar. When he opened the lid, a strong bitter smell mixed with acetic acid and the greasy aroma of honey hit his nostrils.
When he got a small cup, the second prince raised his head and drank it in one gulp. After finishing the drink, he smacked his mouth and said, "The taste is decent. I will take a sip every time I finish smoking."
Ma Wei took the glass jar and looked at it carefully for a while, then suddenly said: "Your Highness, does this cough medicine contain opium?"
"It seems there is, what's wrong?"
"Things like opium..." Halfway through, Ma Wei shook his head: "Forget it, it's nothing."
"Say it!" The second prince was a little anxious. In his eyes, Ma Wei was a master of potions and knew many things that he didn't know. The way he shook his head and sighed was like a doctor's frown after watching a movie...
Life is near!
"Opium is not a good thing and is harmful to the human body. I suggest that Your Highness eat less of it."
"Eat less...why can't you just eat less?"
Ma Wei said calmly: "Because this thing is very addictive, Your Highness, you have been eating it for so long, it will be difficult to quit."
"..."
The second prince's face turned green. To be honest, he believed in Ma Wei more than the doctor who was holding a knife or a leech and was planning to bleed himself.
"If there is no breakthrough, we might as well start with Donal Pat's son's pharmaceutical company."
Mawei said: "I don't believe that his son will do business honestly. Abusing power for personal gain is too common. If we can find a breakthrough from his son, it will be much easier to deal with Donal Pat."
