British writer

The waiter left.

The room No. 1 returned to silence.

The queen only regarded the incident just now as a small episode, picked up the black tea from the tray beside her, and took a sip.

After that, when she looked at Lu Shi,

"Professor Lu, I...well...let me think about what I was going to ask you just now..."

The queen bowed her head in thought.

At this moment, the curtain on the stage was pulled up, and Jim, played by Lawton, took the stage.

The second act officially begins.

This scene is about the first speech made by the Prime Minister after he took office. Jim feels that as the Prime Minister, he should give a speech that can give the public strength.

——

Jim: I want my speech to be as passionate as the Party Manifesto.

Berner: You seem to have said that the Party Manifesto was dull.

Jim: I didn't say "I" was dull when I spoke.

——

The room roared with laughter again.

Margarita also couldn't help laughing, saying: "The Prime Minister is portrayed too pretentiously."

The queen puts down her teacup,

"Rita, you have to remember that it's their job to put on airs. On stage, it may seem ridiculous, but as the navigator of a country, the Prime Minister needs...well... I remembered what I was going to ask Professor Lu just now gone."

Lu Shi leaned forward slightly, waiting for the Queen's next words.

The Queen said: "Professor Lu, when I watched "Yes! Prime Minister", I had an indescribable feeling."

As she spoke, she pointed to the stage,

"You see, everyone laughs at Prime Minister Huck for wanting to be Sir Humphrey. But in your play, Huck is the one with the ambition, and Humphrey is trying to stay the same. "

Bernard Shaw on the side nodded,

"It's the way it is in LSE, where the students literally worship Humphrey."

While talking, Jim contributed another joke,

A layer of laughter turned the sky.

Lu Shi waited for the laughter to pass before he opened his mouth: "This kind of thing is actually not to blame for Humphrey. As the line said, in the past 30 years, he has served seven prime ministers and ten governments. If he believes that every Prime Minister's policy, then he will strongly oppose the common market, but also strongly agree with the dumping bill; he will firmly believe that many industries should be state-owned, and private, and private and then nationalized; ..."

The queen couldn't help laughing,

"It turns out that there is this line in the back. It is not bad. If Sir Humphrey seriously implements the policies of every prime minister, then he will speak incoherently and appear schizophrenic."

Lu Shi nodded without saying anything.

Some people think "Yes! "Prime Minister" will make the British Empire "awaken" and no longer be so inappropriate.

But, in fact, Dae-young does not need to be "awakened".

The elites from Oxford and Cambridge are well aware of the problems in Great Britain, but they have no way to do it, or even if they have a way, they have no motivation to change it.

Although Daying is not a human being, he is still the strongest on the surface, isn't he?

The queen said to Margarita: "Rita, Professor Lu is an extremely smart person, and "Yes! Prime Minister" has explained many things."

When Margarita looked at Lu, she blushed slightly,

She asked the Queen: "What did you say?"

The queen did not give a direct answer, but asked heuristically: "As a politician, what are Prime Minister Harker's needs?"

There is no need to think about this question,

Margarita said, "The ballot."

The Queen nodded and asked again, "What about Sir Humphrey?"

Humphrey is the representative of the affairs officer system,

So, he needs to...

"Stablize."

The Queen smiled and said nothing.

Lu Shi said: "The core of comedy is tragedy. The politicians and affairs officers of the British Empire check and balance each other in this way. They are in the cycle of Sisyphus constantly pushing the boulder up the mountain, but the boulder rolls down again. "

Bernard Shaw on the side clapped his hands and praised: "What a 'comedy is tragedy at its core'! Professor Lu's words can really be recorded in the annals of history."

Lu Shi was puzzled,

"Isn't that what Shakespeare said?"

George Bernard Shaw said: "Of course these are Shakespeare's words. However, you summed up more profoundly than Shakespeare. In "A Midsummer Night's Dream", Shakespeare believed that a comedy, 'The spectators are happy, but the characters are sad.' .”

This sounds very romantic.

But as Bernard Shaw said, it is not as profound and short as "the core of comedy is tragedy".

The queen chuckled,

"Perhaps, Professor Lu should be asked to write a romantic comedy. I'm curious, what kind of tragic core would you write for such a comedy?"

...

Box number two.

The waiter knocked on the door and came in.

At this time, he already knew the identity of Cecil and the others, and said cautiously: "Sir, Mr. Lu and Mr. Xiao are accompanying Miss Margarita, that Margarita in front of the imperial court."

For a moment, the room was quiet,

"..."

"..."

"..."

This silence is in stark contrast to a layer of cheerful laughter.

Erwin frowned.

"Is that the lady?"

This sentence looks like a question, but it is actually a statement.

No answer at all.

Churchill and Wodehouse looked at each other, could not help but frown, puzzled,

Margarita watched drama with Lu Shi and Bernard Shaw! ?

How could this happen! ?

You know, after Margarita entered London to study political and economics, both the Queen and Wodehouse gave repeated orders that Margarita must keep a low profile and not give the Conservative Party a chance to attack, let alone cause international problems.

The current relationship between Britain and Germany is too tense.

Churchill was lost in thought,

Although Margarita was eccentric and lively, she was by no means a savage princess. There was no reason for her to be so ignorant.

Could it be...

The corner of Churchill's mouth curled up, and he winked at Wodehouse,

The latter understood immediately, and wanted to get into the topic, but forcibly held back the words that came to his lips.

the other side,

Cecil asked the waiter: "You mean, that lady shared the same private room with two men, Mr. Lu and Mr. Xiao, and watched a drama?"

The waiter nodded immediately,

"That's right, but..."

Cecil immediately interrupted the other party with a wave of his hand: "Shut up first, let me think about it."

The waiter finally held back and didn't continue talking.

a long time,

"so,"

Cecil waved to the waiter and said, "You go to Box No. 1 again, please don't change your request, please invite Mr. Lu to come over for a drink. In addition, you must remember to specify it, just say, the gentlemen in Box No. 2 know... ..."

Before the words fell, Erwin cleared his throat.

Cecil was interrupted, and looked over annoyedly,

"Sir Irwin?"

Erwin showed a kind smile, and said, "First... cough cough... Your Excellency, this matter is still up to you... Do you think so?"

Cecil thought for a moment, nodded,

"you're right."

He turned to the waiter again,

"Just say that Salisbury knows the identity of the lady."

The waiter nodded and walked away quickly.

During the whole process, Churchill was watching with cold eyes,

He thought to himself, some people really can't be sympathized with, it's fine to be irritated by a small drama, but now they have directly lost the scale of advance and retreat,

With such a person at the helm of the Conservative Party, no matter how strong the ship is, it will run aground sooner or later.
