British 1986
Chapter 459 Gossip?
"Where is she?"
Even though she was a little weak, Diana still gritted her teeth when she saw the picture of this bitch. As for dignity and elegance, at this moment, she didn't care at all.
Xiao Shitou pointed to the hospital building outside the window and said: "She was arrested last night. She had an operation overnight. The ward is next to you."
"Oh no wonder I heard some noise this morning, it turned out to be her! Hahaha, it turned out to be her!"
"Princess, the doctor who performed the surgery on you will also go back with us. When he returns to Wales, he will receive the punishment he deserves."
Xiao Shitou smiled apologetically and added.
Although not all the people involved in harming her were tied up, Diana was already very satisfied with this kind of behavior that only targeted the culprits, and it far exceeded her expectations.
"Well where's Alan?"
"The young master went to London for a meeting. Today is the closing ceremony of the House of Lords. You were not awake before he left, so he didn't bother you."
Xiao Shitou was very good at talking. It was obviously Allen who didn't look at her before leaving, but he said that Allen didn't look at her because he was afraid of disturbing her.
"Thanks a lot."
"This is what I should do."
Xiao Shitou complimented again, then put away the photo and sat down, saying hello through the car window, indicating that the team could set off back to Wales.
"Why do you look so haggard? Where have you been these past few days? I heard that you went to Scotland some time ago?"
Duke Angus was happily chatting with the people next to him. When he saw Allen coming, he quickly said hello to several noble lords, approached Allen, and started asking questions.
There is still half an hour before the nine o'clock meeting officially starts. At this time, the lounge is full of people. A quick glance shows that there are about three to four hundred people here today.
In the past, the House of Lords, which could only accommodate more than a hundred members at most, was surprisingly lively today.
Allen glanced back and patted Duke Angus' fatter belly and said, "I had a little accident last night and didn't get a good rest. I rushed back from outside early in the morning."
"Well, don't be playful like me when I was young. Your health will not be good when you are old."
Duke Angus is now half follower and half elder in front of Allen. When chatting, he mainly focuses on life and gossip. After a word of concern, he starts telling Allen the latest gossip of the House of Lords.
"Did you hear that? Those bitches in the House of Commons are going to cause us trouble these days."
"Oh? Literary or martial arts?"
When Allen heard this, he immediately became energetic. He thought that the Queen was bored and was planning to let the two houses fight. Then he, the handsome man in the House of Lords, must be the vanguard. When the time comes, Mr. Allen will hold a broadsword in his hand. He would definitely be able to kill everyone in and out of the House of Commons, and let them see the Hill family's ancestral swordsmanship.
"No, no, no," Duke Angus quickly stretched out his hand to stop him.
"They are causing trouble for us, not fighting, but... I don't think this situation is right."
Seeing Earl Angus say this, Allen became even more curious.
"Have you read the news from the past few days? The recent media has been reprinting the news from the Yankees, saying that the Queen was angry."
Duke Angus stretched out his stubby index finger, pointed to the sky, and winked at Alan.
Gossip. It can only be understood and cannot be made too obvious. They are in the House of Lords now. The Queen may have arrived by now and is probably resting backstage. It would be a bit bad if someone heard it.
"Hmm. Then what."
Regarding the various rumors reprinted in these media, Allen only lit the fire at the beginning, but he stopped following the subsequent situation. This thing is too dangerous, and the Yankees are really powerful.
All kinds of news were reported in a decent way. Just reading the titles made me feel frightened. It seemed as if Great Britain was about to die and the Queen was about to abdicate.
"Tsk. Then the Queen has not responded to the recent news, as if she doesn't care. Finally, it was delayed until a few days ago. The Queen said she would deliver an annual summary speech at the closing ceremony of the House of Lords, but..."
Having said this, Duke Angus smiled helplessly and said in a softer voice: "Hey, you said these people don't usually come to meetings, but the Buckingham Palace Secretariat and the Noble Affairs Department have called people to contact them. Just like this, there are still people who can’t be found, and some who have made it clear that they won’t come.”
"Then, those in the House of Commons thought that since we have so many seats for members and these nobles usually don't want to come, it would be better to abolish some seats in the House of Lords and cancel the previous automatic selection system and replace it with a campaign system. "
"???"
Hearing this, Allen already understood what was going on. No wonder he called everyone to inform them of this year's closing ceremony. It turned out that the Queen specifically named them to deliver the concluding speech.
It's as if the leader calls the entire company for a meeting. Department leaders, team leaders, etc. all have to go to the conference room for the meeting.
Then what.
According to the usual behavior of noble gentlemen, some people did not come or could not be contacted at all.
This is really annoying. The chairman is going to have a meeting, but most of the leaders in the company won't come to the conference room?
In this way, she would be angry no matter who else became the chairman.
The current system of the House of Lords in the UK is that as long as hereditary nobles are hereditary nobles, it is clear that not all nobles, those who have received a medal or are directly commended by the Queen, are called life nobles. Their titles cannot be passed on to future generations, and hereditary nobles Nobles truly live with the country. As long as no one in the family dies, the title can be passed down from generation to generation, as long as you can afford the inheritance tax.
As for hereditary nobles, there are currently about 600 families in Britain.
There are no specific figures because it is difficult to count.
As long as these nobles inherit the title and reach the age of 21, they will automatically obtain the status of members of the House of Lords, and then they can come to the House of Lords in London to watch the excitement.
If special circumstances occur, like Allen, who inherits the title early due to family reasons, he will have to wait until he reaches 21 years old before he can automatically obtain the status of a member of the House of Lords.
No matter what, every hereditary noble is theoretically a member of the House of Lords.
but
Not all nobles are keen on politics, or come to meetings and the like.
There are not many nobles like Allen who like to come to the House of Lords to join in the fun.
A large number of nobles stay in their castles all year round, or travel around the world. Ordinary people can't see them anyway. Everyone's "dimension" of life is different.
Such nobles are common in Great Britain. As for coming to the House of Lords for a meeting?
My home is hundreds of miles away from London, and I waste two days just to come here. How many meetings do I have to hold throughout the year? What are you doing here?
See the nobles chatting and quarreling among themselves?
What should I do if I have this time? Not all nobles have enough food and clothing, and those whose families are not well-off have to work hard to make money, so there is no time for meetings.
Anyway, these people are just cutters. They don’t just come once or twice a year, but they don’t necessarily come once every few years.
Facing such a group of hob meat, the Queen can't do anything!
Thinking this way, many nobles did not want to come to the meeting, which was a disgrace to the Queen. Then there was news that someone in the House of Commons proposed to remove a group of nobles from the House of Lords.
Here.
There must be a connection!
Allen hummed as he thought of this. It was hard for him to comment on this kind of thing. Anyway, judging from this situation, sooner or later the Queen would take action against these people.
"Hey? What are you thinking about? Just tell me and you won't be in a hurry?"
Duke Angus looked at Allen, who was lost in thought after hearing the gossip, and patted him.
"This kind of thing will be discussed when the documents really come out. We don't have to come, but our status as members cannot be revoked. As far as I know, there are a few old people who don't come usually. When they really come, , even the Queen has to say hello to them with a smile, why are you in a hurry, we’ll talk about it later.”
Allen doesn't want to be the first to take the lead in this kind of thing. To be honest, canceling the quota of MPs has little to do with him. Anyway, others can no longer have the status of MPs, but he, Mr. Allen, can't live without him. Who doesn't? Let him come, and he will come to the House of Lords with his sword to see who dares to stop him.
Even if this group of politicians in the House of Commons have the backing of the Queen, they are still bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. Facing those silent aristocratic lords, they may still do things, but facing Alan, who is already famous for being reckless, you can do something Try it. If you finish it during the day, you can lead your men to their homes to fight with you at night.
There are still ten minutes left before the closing ceremony starts, in the lounge exclusively for the royal family.
Next to the two most conspicuous sofa thrones, there are several smaller seats.
This lounge is reserved for royal members to take a temporary break when they come to attend meetings.
The Queen is leaning on the armrest of the sofa with her right arm and leaning to the right. Prince Philip on the left is holding a book with a cover that he can't see. He glances at the book with little interest and glances in the direction of the Queen on the right from time to time. Take a glance.
Even Prince Philip has been grounded these days.
Well, to be precise, it is not the kind of confinement that cannot leave the house, but all recent business or charity activities have been cancelled. In this way, except for the occasional walk in the countryside, Prince Philip can only go All that was left was Buckingham Palace. His home, Windsor Castle, was burned down again, and he couldn't go back even if he wanted to.
The Queen felt eyes glancing at her again, and turned her head suddenly to glare at Prince Philip. Prince Philip was so frightened that he quickly shook the book in his hand and pretended to read it seriously.
The two are currently in a cold war.
The reason for everything is partly because of the rumor that has been very popular recently, and partly because of Prince Philip himself.
As we all know, all members of the royal family often attend various activities, among which Boss Cha must rank first in terms of attendance.
At the peak of his year, he could attend more than 600 events!
What is the concept? On average, he attends two events a day. Taking into account the time spent traveling, Boss Cha basically attends events in various places for many years. If holidays are included, the number of events he attends per day may be even higher.
Who is the next person?
It's Prince Philip!
At his peak, he could attend one to two hundred events a year, while the Queen could only rank third. Although she did not attend as many events as the father and son, the events she attended were the most important and could be regarded as the only one. Attend quality events.
And Prince Philip himself also likes to attend events.
Generally, he likes to go to any brand that invites him, or to places like schools or rescue stations, and enjoys the feeling of being inspected by a leader.
But Prince Philip has a very niche, but very unacceptable shortcoming, that is, he is very venomous.
The attribute of verbal abuse is basically a self-taught one with full points.
The media has occasionally exposed this situation before, but basically the Queen suppressed it and the news went away without causing any big trouble.
But this time it was a bit unfortunate. Around September, Prince Philip went to attend an event to express condolences to the performance group.
Those who received condolences at that time were all older dancers and some community volunteers. Such people perform free performances and provide help to ordinary people. It is considered a serious charity activity.
When Prince Philip shook hands with the Xiao Heizi volunteer, he asked: "Do you feel it's hard?"
This is a very common sentence, but in any other place, the person receiving condolences would reply that it was hard but worth it, and the leader would smile and encourage a few words, and that would be enough.
People here in Great Britain have a more upright and rigid temperament. Coupled with Prince Philip's status, when he asks if it's hard work, the people below will definitely say hard work instead of the so-called modesty. set.
but
After the little Heizi volunteer talked about his hard work, what she was waiting for was not encouragement from Prince Philip, but an extremely vicious word.
"If it's so hard, why don't you die?"
"???"
Both the volunteer and others around him were stunned when they heard Prince Philip's words.
Everyone present was stunned by these words.
Then the volunteer became angry and cried, and the event ended hastily.
Originally, this incident was regarded as a small accident in Prince Philip's daily venomous speech. Anyway, someone put an end to it, saying that the prince was old and said the wrong words, and it would be over after a while.
But recently, due to that rumor, the dark history of Philip's trip has been uncovered again for some reason. Not long after this incident happened, and there are many people who have experienced it personally who can testify, it was dug up by the media.
In addition to those people who had been helped by volunteers, after these people heard about this incident, they were also very dissatisfied with the unabashed prince.
This caused the queen, who was already a little irritable recently, to become even more irritable, and then directly canceled all her activities before the end of the year.
Capel gently pushed open the door of the lounge, bent down and walked softly to Boss Cha, and whispered into his ear: "Your Highness, Mr. Allen has finished his work, and their people have been taken away. Princess, our people went in after seven o'clock to confirm the situation."
"Um?"
Boss Cha carefully glanced at the queen next to him, considered it and asked, "Well, how is she?"
Capel's lips trembled twice and he said, "Same as the princess."
"Back off!"
Boss Cha took a breath and waved his hand to indicate that Capel could go out.
"yes."
