C2286 Congressional impeachment

What he was most afraid of was finally here. Benjamin had the arrogance of a British Empire at his peak, but in his eyes, other than England, no other country was worth much.

Even in the face of the world's accusations, he was fearless because he knew that the Constitution gave him the right to rule the empire that even a queen could not deprive.

What the British people wanted was victory, and only victory could make them happy. To the citizens of the British Empire, the insults from the weak in the dark corners were like a happy hymn.

Losers naturally had the right to curse, and this curse was a form of praise for the victors!

Even at the end of the matter, when the royal families and governments of the European countries came out to protest, or to pay attention to the situation, Benjamin only felt the pressure of his worries.

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

So what if you criticize, so what if you curse, so what if I have shamelessly imprisoned Xiao Letian?

I am the legitimate Prime Minister chosen by the people of England, not your European people. What does your displeasure have to do with me?

There was indeed a group of people in the country who were affected by the chaos and had a lot of complaints about themselves, but that did not matter. As long as a war could be waged overseas to increase the country's colonies and resources, the news of victory would naturally dilute the criticism.

Benjamin's calculations were very good. First, he had signed a military assistance agreement with Tongzhi, and then, he had signed a contract to build an authority on the railway. This big cake was ten thousand times bigger than the one Xiao Letian gave him.

The next step was to take over the anti-Chinese banner from France. The British were about to set off for Asia for the third time, and this time, their opponent was not the Qing Empire but the arrogant Chinese.

Occupy all their land, reap all their wealth, and let the news of victory spread throughout the British Empire. At that time, who would care about such a small imprisonment?

After all, history was written by the victors!

The plan could be described as perfect, but he was also worried about the enemies inside the fort, the political enemies that were eyeing him covetously.

Gladstone was a lion, his years of hard work had already expanded the power of the Liberal Party by a hundred times, moreover, he was an eloquent politician who was almost invincible in the council.

What was even more frightening was that Benjamin had already faintly sensed the queen's intentions. In the eyes of the royal family, parties definitely could not monopolize each other, and Gladstone might very well be an important chess piece the queen had pushed forward to balance the political situation.

Perhaps it wasn't appropriate to use a chess piece, because Gladstone was a chess piece with his own thoughts. No one could guess what his next move would be due to his gloomy eyes.

Benjamin's whole plan to deal with the Chinese people had actually gone against Gladstone. In Benjamin's heart, even if we were enemies and disliked politics, our loyalty to Britain was still the same.

Gladstone should be able to make the right choice. Doesn't he know that everything I do is for the benefit of the British Empire?

Are you, Gladstone, going to be a British historical sinner? Did Xiao Letian really give you an astronomical amount of bribes? Are you really a vile person who disregards justice for personal gain?

Why? Why betray me and our country at a critical moment when I am about to win?

Scratching his head, Benjamin could not think of an answer. In the end, he jumped up in anger, "Prepare the carriage, I want to go to the House of Lords! I want to meet this traitor myself! "

The British Parliament had evolved slowly from the medieval British Council of Advisors. The King wanted to hear the voice of the people and discuss the state affairs of all walks of life, so he chose a group of representatives from the clergy, the aristocracy, the management of the counties, and the elite to hold a council. This was the rudiments of the British Parliament.

As the system became more stable and the number of people increased, so did the internal conflicts. Finally, in the fourteenth century, the Congress split into two factions: the House of Lords, which was composed of clerics and nobles; and the House of Commons, which was commonly known as the House of Commons.

Within these hundreds of years, there had been conflicts between the Upper Lower House and the King. There were cooperation and win-win situations, and there had even been a serious civil war.

In principle, the House of Lords was more distinguished than the House of Commons, but the House of Commons was also more powerful as a representative of the civil power, which had been gradually diminishing over the centuries, while the House of Commons continued to grow in power.

Even now, although the proposal passed by the House of Commons still required the approval of the House of Lords, it was basically a formality. The rich aristocracy and clergymen usually did not conflict with the members of the House of Commons who represented the interests of the capitalists.

Moreover, Gladstone's influence in the House of Commons was too great, especially with the representatives of the various counties and counties. Many of them were members of the Liberal Party, so it would not be difficult for Gladstone to get a majority of the support votes here.

Benjamin's power was at an even higher position in the House of Lords. After all, the Tory Party had been in power for many years and had a close relationship with the nobles, so if they wanted to have a conflict with Gladstone, the Aristocratic Garden was their best choice.

"Speed up!" He continued to increase his speed! We have to get to the Capitol before Gladstone leaves! This despicable traitor, I must personally teach him a lesson! "

The British Capitol Building was on the banks of the Thames River, the site of Big Ben, the Palace of Westminster, close to Westminster Abbey.

The distance from here to Downing Street was only about 10 minutes, but to Benjamin, these 10 minutes were as long as a century.

Soon, the Gothic style huge building appeared in front of the Prime Minister. The reporters gathered at the entrance were making their hearts jump to their throats.

God, even the reporters were alarmed. To be able to get the news so quickly meant that Gladstone had let the news out early!

Dammit, why don't I know how these trash got their information!

The Prime Minister's horse carriage stopped right in front of the Capitol Building's entrance. The butler opened the door and Benjamin who was in a black suit jumped out of the horse carriage.

"It's the Prime Minister! The Prime Minister is here! " The reporters exclaimed, and the 50-60 reporters immediately surrounded them.
