Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The weather in London had been gloomy since morning, and the countless old gentlemen on the street were kneading their sore knees and cursing the bloody weather. "The autumn rain is so unpleasant, wet and cold, that no layers of clothing will do any good, my old, cold legs …"

"That's right. In this kind of weather, we should light up the fireplace, use the firework to soak away the humidity, and then have a glass of whiskey to read a book. This is the greatest enjoyment of our lives …"

Although he said that, no one walked towards his home. These elderly gentlemen were all respected elders in the City of London, many of them had the status of Honorary Lords, let alone the fact that it was raining today, even if they had to cut him down, they would have to go out.

The newspaper headlines under their arms revealed their destination, and the thick black letters on the oily paper were striking.

"At 9 in the morning today, Capitol Building initiated a vote of no confidence against Prime Minister Benjamin. The Prime Minister is facing his biggest challenge since he came to power …"

"Gladstone declared war on the entire Tory Party. The ancient political parties were challenged by the young Lion King …"

"Could it be the end of the colonialist? Today is the day that will decide the fate of our nation … "

"The whole world is concerned about London. Today, the battle of the National Assembly will affect the development of global politics …"

What they wanted to do was to keep their mouth shut. Under their exaggerated propaganda, this normal change of rights within the British political scene turned into a major event that would affect the global situation.

However, no one in the British media thought their media was exaggerating, because at that time, the British Empire was just as proud and the adjustment of the national policy could affect the life and death of many of the weaker people.

These well-dressed elderly moral gentlemen were all senior members of the various political parties. Although they were no longer in charge of specific tasks, due to their lifetime worth of contributions, it was not a problem for them to be transferred to Congress to listen at the moment.

The discussion in the House of Commons wasn't just about the senators' quarrel. There were also many important people outside the chamber listening in, especially since today's debate was of great importance to everyone.

The atmosphere in the entire City of London became weird. The citizens watched as carriages flew towards the Capitol Building, the faces in the windows were very familiar.

"Is it about to begin? God bless Ge Lasi and Liberal Party. If they succeeded, maybe they would fulfill their previous promise … That damned sewer in our district should really be repaired! "

"It's not just the sewers. I heard that Gladstone will forcefully promote compulsory education once she gets on stage. Our children won't need to spend any tuition, they can just spend a bit of the money to go to school. God bless Gladstone, you have to make him go on stage …"

"Ignorant! Stupid! " "If Ge Lasi were to go up on stage, that would be the disaster of the empire! "He is just a weak capitulation party. He will reduce the military expenditures of the foreign troops and when that happens, the expansion of the empire will come to a standstill!"

"The British Empire wants to expand. The Empire needs more resources and markets!"

"You are the fool! "Even a third-rate country like Prussia has already achieved compulsory education, but we in Britain do not even have the shadow of education. This is a mistake!"

There were countless quarrels on the street, and some people with bad tempers even started fighting. Soon, the street was filled with sirens.

The City of London was overcast, and under the overcast clouds, the hearts of the people were restless.

The Capitol Building was the famous Palace of Westminster in history. This Gothic style representative building had more than a thousand rooms, and the location of the debate today was in the meeting hall of the House of Commons on the north side of the palace.

It had just been eight o'clock and the House of Commons was already packed with people. Almost all the people who were qualified to enter the hall ran in. There were only 400 people in the hall, and now there were 600 people crowded in.

The Speaker of the House of Commons had to give the order to stop letting people in, and of the members who had already squeezed in, only the elderly and the high ones were allowed to sit in chairs, while the young ones had to stand or even sit on the floor.

What was even more laughable was that the representatives of the ruling party and the opposition party were seated on the red line in the middle of the floor. These two lines had a way out, the distance between the two red lines was exactly 2.5 meters, which was said to be the length of two swords in the Middle Ages.

One could imagine how serious the conflict had been here in the past!

The hall was no longer crowded, and the people who were to be seated in the hall were all gathered in the corridor, waiting to hear the news.

Soon there were more than six or seven hundred politicians gathered in the corridors, and people gathered according to the political parties and factions, talking to each other.

"Gladstone is here! "Look, Gladstone is here..." People looked out from the windows in the corridor. At this moment, the leader of the Liberal Party, who was dressed in a black suit and a brand-new hat, was trying her best to get away from the reporters.

The hundred reporters were all about to go crazy. All sorts of questions came out of their mouths, but Gladstone didn't say anything. He just smiled and waved his hands, then rushed forward with all his might.

Finally, with the protection of the guards, the first batch of Leader s came to the Capitol Building.

The old friends who were familiar with Gladstone in the corridor came up to him. "How is it? Are you confident?"

Gladstone smiled mysteriously. "Don't ask me, ask God! If God still loves England... "

As soon as the impeacher entered the council chamber, it became a mess. The members of the Liberal Party stood up and applauded loudly, while the other members of the Tory Party booed loudly.

"Shh …" Shh … Shh … Such a sinister villain … An insidious hypocrite … God will punish you! "

The representative of the Liberal Party was not to be outdone, she clapped her hands and shouted, "Victory!" Liberal Party Victory... Victory... Victory... "Victory …"

Before the debate had even begun, the smell of gunpowder had already permeated the air.

Amidst the ruckus, there was another commotion at the entrance of Capitol Building. The carriage with the Prime Minister's badge on it stopped, and Benjamin who was pretending to be relaxed walked down the carriage.

The reporter jumped on him like a fried bee. "Prime Minister..." "May I ask how you are feeling right now?"

"The Prime Minister... Can you tell me how you intend to refute Liberal Party's provocation today? "

"The Prime Minister... Prime Minister... "The Prime Minister..."

's demeanor today was pretty good, at least he wasn't as taciturn as Gladstone. When he reached the top of the stairs and was about to enter, he suddenly stopped.

"Don't ask me, ask God! If God still loves British Empire, then I will win! "

"Please always remember that the glory of England lies in our eternal victory, and the interest of Britain lies in the ever-expanding colonies... Now, someone wants to destroy the foundation of British Empire's world! Even if I were to agree to it, thousands and thousands of citizens would not agree to it! "
