2285 Congressional Impeachment

The most feared thing finally came. Benjamin had the typical arrogance of the empire that the sun never set during his heyday. In his eyes, any other country except Britain is inequality. What if the weak have any objections to him?

Even in the face of accusations from all over the world, he was fearless because he knew that the Constitution gave him the right to take charge of this empire, and even the Queen could not deprive him of this right.

What the British people want is victory, and only victory can make them happy. The humble and weak insults in the dark corners are a hymn of happiness.

Of course, the loser has the right to curse, and this kind of curse is actually a compliment to the winner!

Even when the situation finally developed, and after the royal families and governments of those European countries jumped out to protest or pay attention, Benjamin only felt the pressure of trouble and did not feel it was a difficult pass.

In its heyday, Britain was a powerful military fortress armed to the teeth. Any external artillery fire was useless to this country. Britain was absolutely invincible in this era.

What if you blame or abuse? What if you shamelessly imprison Xiao Letian?

I am the legal prime minister elected by the British people’s votes, and it was not elected by you European people. What does it have to do with me if you are happy or not?

There are indeed a group of people in the domestic population who are affected by the chaotic emotions and have many complaints about themselves, but these do not matter. As long as another war can be launched overseas to add more colonies and resources to the country, the news of victory will naturally dilute all the accusations.

Benjamin had a very good idea. He first signed a military aid agreement with Emperor Tongzhi, and then signed a treaty on the railway construction rights. This big cake was ten thousand times larger than that given by Xiao Letian.

Immediately afterwards, we will take over the anti-Chinese banner from France. Britain will go to Asia for the third time, and this time the opponent is not the Qing Empire but the arrogant Chinese.

Occupy all their lands, harvest all their wealth, and let the news of victory after victory inspire the entire British Empire. Who will care about this small imprisonment storm?

History is written by the winner after all!

The plan was perfect, but he also had worries in his heart, that is, the enemies inside the fortress and those political enemies who were eyeing him.

Gladstone is a lion. His years of hard work have allowed the Liberal Party to expand a hundredfold. Moreover, this eloquent politician is almost invincible in parliament. His proposal for many financial appropriations is to die at his hands.

What's even more terrifying is that Benjamin had already vaguely sensed the Queen's intention. In the eyes of the royal family, the party must not dominate one. Gladstone is likely to be an important pawn that the Queen has introduced to balance the political situation.

Perhaps it is not appropriate to describe it as a chess piece, because Gladstone is a chess piece with his own thoughts, and no one can guess what he is going to do next with his gloomy eyes.

Benjamin's entire plan to deal with the Chinese people this time was actually annoyed with Gladstone. In Benjamin's heart, even if you and I have different political views and are in a competitor's relationship, his loyalty to Britain is still the same.

In the face of big trouble, Gladstone should be able to make the right choice. Didn’t he know that everything I did was for the benefit of the British Empire?

Do you want to be a historical sinner in Britain? Did Xiao Letian really give you an astronomical bribe? Are you really a villain who ignores justice for your own benefit?

Why? Why betray me and our motherland at the critical moment when I am about to win?

Benjamin couldn't think of the answer even though he scratched his head, and finally he jumped up angrily, "Prepare the car, I'm going to the House of Lords! I'm going to meet this traitor in person!"

The British Parliament gradually evolved from the medieval British meeting of Kings of Consciousness. The king hoped to hear the people's voices and also hoped that all walks of life would discuss national affairs together. Therefore, a group of representatives were selected from clergy, aristocrats, management and elite talents in various counties to hold a meeting of political discussions. This is the prototype of the British Parliament.

As the system gradually became fixed and the number of people continued to increase, internal contradictions increased day by day. In the fourteenth century, the parliament was divided into two factions, one was the House of Lords composed of clergy and nobles, and the other was the representatives of various counties with a large number, commonly known as the House of Commons.

Over the past few hundred years, there were conflicts and win-win cooperation between the upper and lower parliaments, including the kings, and even serious civil wars occurred. However, no matter what, this system was preserved and became an original specimen of the later parliamentary system.

In principle, the identity of the House of Lords is nobler than that of the House of Commons, but the civil forces represented by the large number of people in the House of Commons are also stronger. Over the past few hundred years, the power of the House of Lords has been gradually decreasing, while the power of the House of Commons has been constantly strengthening.

Until now, although the proposal passed by the House of Commons still requires approval from the House of Lords, it is basically a formality. Those fat nobles and clergymen generally do not conflict with those members of the House of Commons who represent the interests of capitalists.

Gladstone has too much influence in the House of Commons, especially representatives from all counties and districts. Many of them are members of the Liberal Party themselves. It is not difficult for Gladstone to get most votes of support here.

Benjamin's power is more dominant in the House of Lords. After all, the Tories have been in power for many years and have had close relationships with these nobles, so if you want to have conflicts with Gladstone, the Noble Garden is the best choice.

"Accelerate! Keep accelerating! We must rush to the Capitol before Gladstone leaves! This mean traitor, I must teach him a lesson in person!"

The British Parliament Building is right next to the River Thames, the location of Big Ben, Westminster Palace, next to Westminster Abbey.

It is only a ten-minute drive from Downing Street, but these ten minutes are as long as a century for Benjamin.

Soon, the huge Gothic-style building appeared in front of the Prime Minister, and the reporters gathered at the gate made his heart reach his throat.

God, even the reporter was alarmed. The fact that the news was so quickly showed that Gladstone had released the wind in advance!

Damn it, why don’t I know how these wastes are doing information!

The Prime Minister's carriage stopped steadily at the entrance of the Capitol. The housekeeper opened the car door, Benjamin, dressed in a black suit, jumped out of the carriage.

"It's the Prime Minister! The Prime Minister is here!" A group of reporters exclaimed, and reporters from the 50th and 60th at the scene surrounded him with a hurrah.
