"Prime Minister, Prime Minister! What do you think of this impeachment crisis... As your finance minister, will this impeachment cause a breakdown in cooperation between you?"
"Prime Minister, how do you feel at the moment? What do you think of the statements made by European countries?"
"Is the imprisonment incident real? Did something unexpected happen to the Chinese head of state? Please answer the people's questions..."
Sharp questions hit his face like waves, and Benjamin said nothing with his face pale and his lips an unhealthy blue color.
These questions were like knives cutting into his heart, and he was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.
Unable to answer any questions, Benjamin pressed his bowler hat with one hand, lowered his head and rushed forward under the guidance of the butler and secretary, until the guards isolated the crazy reporters behind him.
Until he entered the gate of the Capitol, he could still hear the noisy questions behind him. These reporters who wanted news at the risk of their lives almost rushed in.
Entering the Capitol, Benjamin felt the seriousness of the matter. All the busy staff in the corridor looked strange when they saw him.
He who was usually very enthusiastic did not dare to get too far forward today. His former political opponents were even more arrogant at this time, with hostile looks in their eyes shooting towards him like arrows.
Even the most ordinary cleaning workers looked at him with a strange look on his face, and the entire Palace of Westminster was enveloped in a strange atmosphere.
The upper and lower parliament halls are on the second floor. Go up the stairs and then go all the way south. At the southern end of the second floor is the magnificent House of Lords Hall.
As soon as they arrived at the gate, the heavy door was pushed open, and the crowd gathered around the arrogant Gladstone, who was about to come out.
"Gladstone! How dare you impeach me! You traitor! You should be the first to be impeached!" Both of them are over a hundred years old together, but they are even more angry than the young people.
Benjamin rushed in front of Gladstone, surrounded by the main members of the House of Lords, justices, famous bishops, and noble nobles. Among them, the Duke of Newcastle was talking and laughing behind Gladstone.
Seeing Benjamin's murderous gaze, the Duke of Newcastle shrank his head and hid behind the crowd.
Gladstone was a seasoned veteran, and quarreling was a basic skill of a politician. He would care about Benjamin's insults and push back with a glare.
"I will call you one last time, Your Excellency Prime Minister. Please pay attention to your words. The Constitution gives each of us the right to speak. I did not impeach you. I just proposed a no-confidence motion. Only this motion was supported by the majority of members. Only by admitting it will we enter the impeachment stage in the legal sense!"
"You want to trick me? Haha, I'm sorry, I won't be fooled. Don't think that others are fools..."
Old youtiaos, two old youtiaos are fighting against each other. As expected, it is a plan when they fight. According to the rules of the British Constitution, the Prime Minister cannot be impeached at will. Members can only propose a motion of no confidence and require parliament to vote on certain important situations.
Only when more than a majority of members choose not to trust the Prime Minister can the subsequent impeachment stage proceed.
When Benjamin came up, he accused Gladstone of impeaching him. This was actually a trick inside and outside the words. As long as you dare to admit it, there will be an illegal accusation waiting for you later.
What is constitutionalism? That is, the rules of the Constitution are higher than everything else, even higher than the royal power. The rules cannot be broken!
Seeing that Gladstone didn't take the bait, Benjamin simply went straight to the point and said, "Gladston! You know very well that the so-called imprisonment incident is a farce. This is Xiao Letian's conspiracy!"
"As the Chancellor of Finance of the Empire and the leader of the Liberal Party, can't you even understand this superficial trick? Xiao Letian is forcing me to negotiate with him. What he wants is for me, the British Empire, to recognize him. national status of the clan!”
"You are also a veteran politician in the Empire on which the sun never sets, and you actually cheer for foreigners? You traitor! You betrayed the motherland!"
"Haha..." Gladstone sneered, "Am I a traitor? I think you are the Tory who digs up the roots of the empire!" This sentence is quite insidious. The word Tory is originally the Irish word. The meaning of "outlaw" is that it was a nickname used when political parties were fighting against each other hundreds of years ago.
Of course, after so many years of development, the word has slowly changed from an insulting curse word to a neutral noun, and Tory has also become the name of a political party and is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Today, Gladstone actually retold the curse words from hundreds of years ago. This is even more serious than directly scolding Benjamin himself. This means that the entire Tory party has been involved in the curse. What he is denying is that the Tory Party has been criticized over the years. All policies that benefit the party’s governance.
"Gladstone! You are so brave! I'm sorry, you are no longer worthy of being the finance minister of the empire. As prime minister, I have the right to remove you from your position!"
"Haha, it's up to you. According to the laws of the empire, I also have the right to continue to promote the no-confidence motion. I want to see if the impeachment process can be started in the end!"
"You're dreaming! Our Tory Party has led the Empire to victory one after another. I have worked hard for the Empire. Do you think all MPs are as despicable and shameless as you? Are you seeking refuge with the Chinese and using the power of foreigners to fight in the party?"
"Traitor, what qualifications do you have to represent the Congress? Do you think all members are as shameless as you?"
Gladstone stared at his political opponents with burning eyes, "Victory? Is the victory you are talking about yours or the people's?"
"It's not your children who bleed on the battlefield anyway. The glory of victory is just the expansion of the interests of a small group of people. How many new schools and hospitals have your Tories built in these years of power?"
"How many libraries and museums have you built? How many learning problems have you solved for poor children? How many years have workers not had their wages increased?"
"The people have accumulated countless grievances, but you still dare to talk about my merits?"
"Haha... I just forgot to tell you that I have received the support of more than half of the members of the House of Commons, and I have just received the approval of many people in the House of Lords!"
"Benjamin, just wait and wait for the impeachment by Congress. You have to explain many issues!"
"And today, as the prime minister of a country, you came to the parliament smelling of alcohol. I really don't know where your confidence comes from. Do you still think you can continue to control the country? I am deeply ashamed!"
Benjamin's eyes shrank in shock, "What? It's over half, you're talking nonsense!"
Gladstone looked at him coldly, "You have been too arrogant over the years. You have no idea what the world has become. It is this era that will eliminate you, not me..."
