2366 Benjamin Weeping
The queen's face looked a little ugly, thinking to herself, why is this old guy so stubborn? I can't listen to it at all because of my reasoning. In the end, I want to use my reputation to forcefully dissolve the parliament?
This is the ending that the queen is least willing to see, because according to tradition, the prime minister does have the right to dissolve the parliament, and the king can only use it as a rubber stamp in the process.
If Benjamin submits the documents to force the disbandment of the parliament, the queen will still have to pinch her nose and sign.
Why is this? This is actually a battle between the monarchy and the prime minister. Since the struggle for power in British history was also very fierce, the king had several unsuccessful attempts to restore the throne, and even Charles I lost his head.
In order to restrict the power of the monarch, people tried their best to increase the power of the prime minister. In the end, the political situation in Britain belonged to the real and empty monarch. The monarch gradually became an image representative, while the prime minister controlled the direction of the empire.
For example, the descendant of Gladstone's disciple and the same Liberal leader, Chamberlain, could decide the diplomacy of the empire based on his own judgment.
When signing a contract with Hitler and vigorously promoting the appeasement policy, the royal family had no power to interfere. This is a typical representative example of a virtual king.
At this moment, Benjamin threw the problem to the Queen. Judging from this, Benjamin was determined to go to the disbanding of the parliamentary documents, which was a scene that the Queen didn't want to see.
Once this document is delivered to the Queen, the scene will be embarrassing. According to the tradition of the real king, the Queen has to sign and seal it.
But the Queen was unwilling to do this job from the bottom of her heart. On the one hand, she didn't want to see such a big chaos happening in the country, which not only hurt the stability of the empire, but also left a little stain during her rule. The Queen also wanted face at this age. She cared very much about the reputation in history.
On the other hand, the Queen is also a representative of the strong monarchs in modern Britain, although this strength is entirely based on the people's love for her.
It is precisely because she is a strong monarch that she is unwilling to go through this process of being forced to stamp her. She feels that it is embarrassing to do such a thing.
But once Benjamin is considerate and the documents are sent to Buckingham Palace, then the queen cannot sign it. If she doesn't sign it, it means that the queen has the intention to challenge the prime minister's authority, which will be a bad thing and the situation will be even more complicated.
The political war between Gladstone and Benjamin has evolved into a war between monarchy and the Prime Minister's cabinet rights, and the situation will become more complicated.
Queen Victoria took a deep breath and decided that she had to show off with Benjamin. If she gave the old man unrealistic fantasies, she might have something to do.
"Disrael! Let's make it clear! I don't agree with your dissolution of the parliament... because I support some of Gladstone's policy views! Especially the increase in infrastructure investment and compulsory education bill!"
"Oh, God! Even you want to abandon me?" Benjamin stood up excitedly.
"Sit down!" the queen said with a serious expression, "I will not abandon anyone. If anyone abandons you, it is also a voter!"
"If you go to the slums and learn about the voices of the people at the bottom, then you will know how we should choose!"
"Dirty streets, Düssel's sewers, idle unemployed people, children running around the streets can only be thieves, newspaper children and even tragic child labor... I don't want to see such a scene again!"
"Your Majesty... I don't object to all this. I have plans to change. I just hope that the empire can gradually increase investment on the basis of stabilizing the existing colonies. I don't object to compulsory education, and I will also promote it!"
"As long as we destroy the Chinese people, as long as we kill Xiao Letian... I will do ten thousand times better than Gladstone after that! No, no, I can even choose to resign in the future. How about I let Gladstone do these internal affairs?"
"Enough! You are so stubborn!" The queen was really angry, thinking to herself that Xiao Letian had stolen your granddaughter? Do you have a personal grudge with him? In order to make Xiao Letian die, she even ignored the interests of the empire.
"Benjamin! Don't you understand what I said? Now the voters are disappointed with you. They don't believe your promises anymore. What's the use of saying more to me?"
"You said that after this war, you can improve your internal affairs? Voters don't believe you, and even if voters believe you, they can't wait! They need job opportunities, their children need to go to school, and they don't even want to wait for a day!"
Benjamin was blown by lightning and his whole body was drained from his energy and his butt was limp on the chair and muttered constantly.
The queen couldn't bear it, so she patted Benjamin's back of her hand and said happily, "Disraelli, how old are you this year, not over 70 years old, and your body has always been healthy. Do you really think there will be no chance in the future?"
"You are also a veteran. You should see the ups and downs of the political arena very clearly and clearly. People's hearts are always fickle. Now that they abandon you, does not mean that they will abandon you forever in the future?"
"What does it matter if you have a short-term dormant? Choosing gentle concessions at this moment can at least prevent your connections from being destroyed, and you will not offend the voters too much..."
"All of this is your future comeback! Why bother to kill the death penalty? Why bother..."
Speaking of which, the most righteous person has been done, and no matter how stubborn a person is, he cannot remain indifferent. Benjamin's tears fell down.
"Your Majesty... I'm not willing to give up! I really smelled the danger from Xiao Letian... That's an ambitious man! I'm not willing to give up..."
The Queen slapped the back of Disrael's hand and persuaded him, "I understand, I understand your painstaking efforts, I know your loyalty to the empire... But don't forget that even if you are the prime minister, you have to vote in Congress!"
"In your current situation, how likely do you think the vote is to pass? Don't forget that Xiao Letian has come to the UK in person, and he is constantly carrying out charity activities among the people..."
"Hey... Let me put it bluntly. Xiao Letian has a very good relationship with Protestantism. Do you know how much he has donated to all major dioceses?"
"If you want to start a war with him, first ask the bishops whether they agree or not! If they don't agree, they will try their best to promote among the people..."
"Hey...what is the use of you disbanding a hundred parliament?"
With a wow, Benjamin became in pain like a child. He covered his face with his hands and buried his head between his knees, crying so wronged.
