Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

"When I didn't understand how the British Empire Capitol Hill worked, it was difficult for me for a while to understand how someone like George Canning was able to climb as high as the Prime Minister of the British Empire from 1812 to 1827. ?

This person has no image attractiveness. He wears a pair of funny reading glasses, constantly squinting at the speech, sweating nervously.

In addition, some of his notorious personal behaviors, such as showing off his scars, holding his dog up by its ears, and sitting on a squat toilet to handle official business, etc., did not bring him any image the benefits of.

However, it was such a person who, during the roaring years of the British Empire, drew his great blueprint to us "compatriots of the British Empire".

At that time, like many college students of that era, I was always plagued by this mystery: why in a well-functioning British Empire society, such a person could climb the heads of countless more capable and charismatic counterparts than him, Become the Prime Minister of the Constitutional Monarchy of the British Empire, how could such a person decide the war and peace of the British Empire?

As the years passed, I came to understand that the one-to-one communication skills that George Canning had mastered, which I now call retail politics, were effective in the British Empire Parliament and other occasions.

With the help of face-to-face conversations, he only needs to face a small number of top-level design people, rather than the millions of votes.

He applied his magic power directly to the flesh-and-blood senators, congressmen, and other individuals who were holding a handful of votes in their hands. As long as these people were persuaded, the votes in the hands of millions of people in the British Empire would be his. in hand.

From the very beginning, his target was not the general public, but the members of Congress who supported the result.

Even with him, the smaller the number, the better the effect.

Just as I was fortunate enough to be by his side and personally heard one of his teachings to me, a philosophical quote from him: It is much easier to retail to 650 members of the House of Representatives than to 300 senators ! "

When the Viscount Palmerston said this, he raised his head to look at the people in front of him, and his eyes fell on Prince Edward, "That is, from this day on, I can see that the Senate and the House of Representatives are where he stays. The number of people is just right for him"

Prince Edward was silent.

"His Excellency the Viscount Palmerston, according to what you said, why did you just say that it is much easier to do retail to 650 members of the House of Representatives than to 300 senators?"

Princess Helena asked suddenly.

Before Viscount Palmerston could speak, Princess Louise glanced at Prince Edward, who looked wide-eyed and broad-eyed. She stared at Palmerston for a moment with her deep eyes, and then said leisurely: "That is Because the Senators are mainly composed of the descendants of the royal family, hereditary nobles, legal nobles, family nobles, life nobles, Scottish nobles and Irish nobles who have served as prime ministers, bishops and other spiritual staff. Instead, focus on the elected members of the House of Representatives."

"Princess Louise is right." Viscount Palmerston's old eyes showed surprise. In fact, this is not the first time. Along the way, Princess Louise gave him too many surprises, even , He regretted it a little, but he didn't want her to marry into the Netherlands. Unfortunately, in the British Empire, few people seem to be worthy of her, marrying an aristocrat?

Isn't this a piece of beautiful jade covered in dust?

Viscount Palmerston shook his head immediately.

At the same time, he finally understood the suffering of Queen Victoria at this moment.

I am reluctant to give it away, and I am afraid of losing it if I keep it!

It was the position of Princess Louise in their hearts.

"Before and after, before me, more than 8 former prime ministers of the British Empire were still alive, and they were all squeezed into the senators, plus a few categories of nobles, each faction can be said to have everything, a hodgepodge, too mixed, easy Raab, but the House is cleaner and simpler"

Alice suddenly asked: "Viscount Palmerston, I don't know, how is William IV?"

Viscount Palmerston laughed, then glanced at Crown Prince Edward, who said indifferently: "William IV is a very talented person. In fact, many people don't know about his literature except insiders. He has a theatrical work that shocked Europe a few years ago"

"Edward, what work?" Alice asked with a short breath. She had a bold guess, but she wasn't sure.

Years ago? Could it be...

It's not just her, Helena next to her also has a dazzling light in her eyes. She doesn't speak, but reveals her urgency.

Viscount Palmerston took in the expressions of several people, but Princess Louise's calmness made him unable to guess. Did she already know the answer?

"The Drama of a Dream"

Indeed it was him!

At this moment, Louise's composure still felt a huge wave in her heart.

This play has been staged in hundreds of thousands of European theaters. It is the most popular play in the past 10 years, and it has reaped countless tears.

They have all seen it, and they even deeply remember the beautiful and poignant lines.

"The beauty of the world is just the prelude and disguise of greater pain~www.wuxiahere.com~ A fragmented dream exposes the reality is just a tormenting conspiracy, anger is because of pity, people should not live like this."

Angels are in the world, and they can't save the poor people, but they have infected the filth in the world, until she can't fly, and finally can only return to the world by burning herself on fire. The suffering in the world is so great that it forces God to have humanity. , so that very few people have the divinity. "

Alice murmured in a swaying spirit. Fortunately, this is the British Empire's embassy in Amsterdam. It is not far from the Dutch National Concert Hall, where the marriage conference will be held the day after tomorrow. The Viscount Palmerston knew he should rest...

........

In the Netherlands, Amsterdam, the major hotels are now full of occupancy rates, in order to come here to witness the demeanor of the members of the royal family.

"Look, that's the Prince of Sweden. That's the fourth brother of King Carl XV of Sweden. Unfortunately, this man is said to only like to mess around with things, and he doesn't like to participate in state governance. Otherwise, he can be with his third brother Oscar. Like the prince, help Karl XV to guard Norway."

"Don't say it, look, that's the flag, it belongs to the Tsarist Russian Empire." These people took a breath, "The Tsarist Russian Empire is one of the most powerful countries in Europe right now, and at the level of hegemony on land, even Napoleon I of France all retreated in Moscow with hatred. After a thousand miles, he was directly beaten back to its original state. Since then, the status of the Tsarist Russian Empire has never been shaken. It is said that this time to participate in the marriage conference is their Crown Prince Nicholas and Prince Alexander. I want to come. With the power of the Tsarist Russian Empire, I will be able to hold the beautiful woman back."

"Look, that's..."
