"If local MPs really oppose that agreement, they should persuade His Majesty the King not to accept it before it is officially signed.

"But you didn't! It means they themselves agree!"

The justice did not expect to be rebutted, and immediately asked Peter more questions that he had prepared.

But Peter answered them all one by one.

All the accusations against Peter in the newspapers were based on no actual evidence. The biggest evidence was a few photos and the agreement itself.

But that proves nothing at all.

As the questioning progressed, the justice gradually lost his patience, and the surrounding members of the House of Lords and the House of Representatives also gradually lost their patience.

When the justice asked about the transfer of Yinzhou Colony, one of the congressmen couldn't help it anymore and shouted directly:

"He is quibbling! He could have given up a piece of land in Tianzhu, but he handed over Florida instead!"

Pete shouted back without hesitation:

"The Ming Dynasty clearly refused to make any deal on the Tianzhu issue, and the Prince of Dashi clearly demanded Florida.

"As long as a politician with any brains stands in Ming Dynasty's position, he will ask for Florida instead of a piece of land in Tianzhu!"

The other party did not argue with Peter about the specific content at all, but shouted at the top of his lungs:

"He lied! He must have colluded with Daming! We didn't need to pay so much!"

Someone stirred up the atmosphere, and others immediately followed suit.

What was originally a sentence-to-sentence, paragraph-to-paragraph questioning soon turned into a chaotic quarrel.

After all, Pete was outnumbered, and his opponents ignored logic and directly launched personal attacks and "I think."

Some people know that what Pete did is right, but they are unable to speak for Pete, knowing that even if they stand up to support him, it will be useless.

The Prince of Wales also stood at the scene and subconsciously wanted to speak for Peter.

But looking at the aggressive members of the House of Commons, he finally did not dare to speak out due to his weak character.

Pete retorted for a while, but after realizing that the other party was being unreasonable at all, he simply stood there and stopped talking.

Anyway, the process of this kind of quarrel will not be recorded in detail, and I will not sign the record that I have not responded to.

When everyone noticed that Peter was silent, they thought that the debate was about to be won.

Many members subconsciously looked at the king, waiting for the king to come out to announce the results or make a decision.

As a result, everyone found that King George III was sitting on a chair, shaking his hands slightly, and talking to himself continuously.

It seemed that he had completely forgotten everything around him.

After the Lord Chancellor and the Prince of Wales found out, they tried to wake up George III, but there was no response.

King George III still sat in his chair and kept talking.

It was messy, topsy-turvy, confusing and lengthy, sentences that almost no one could understand, spouting out intermittently.

The nobles and ministers immediately realized that their king was ill.

The questioning had to be temporarily ended. His Majesty George III was carried back to the bedroom by servants, and the royal doctor was invited to treat George III.

It is a consensus in Britain that George III was mentally ill.

In severe cases, he may even have to be tied to a chair until he calms down.

For a long time, doctors were unable to find any effective treatment, but George III's condition would not last long.

But this situation was different. As a result, three days passed in a row, and George III's condition did not improve.

He keeps mumbling alone and ignores anyone around him.

Having such a king on the stall is really worrying.

George III, who was in an intermittent mental state, still wanted to continue to be king, instead of following the Ming Dynasty and passing the throne in advance.

In addition to the fact that the characteristics of the traditional monarchy were retained, it was also because George III was not satisfied with his successor.

The eldest George, now the Prince of Wales and George IV in history, has been arrogant and licentious since he was a child.

The four words "arrogant, extravagant and lewd" are not an exaggeration, but a very accurate description of most of George IV's life.

It's enough to hang out with actresses and Catholic widows and rack up a lot of debt. The key is to have no independent opinion.

When the Prince of Wales was with Peter, he was completely convinced by Peter and vowed to do what Peter said.

But after returning to China, at the inquiry meeting, I didn't dare to speak for Pete at all.

Peter had already expected his reaction, so he didn't hold out much hope at that time.

As for the old King George III, his ability as a king surpassed most common monarchs.

Even if he gets sick from time to time, he is definitely more suitable as a king than the Prince of Wales.

George III suddenly fell seriously ill, and both the Lords and the House of Commons looked sad.

I don’t know if I should expect the king to pass away immediately, so that the Prince of Wales, who is still in relatively normal health, can directly succeed to the throne and keep the court running.

We should still hope that the king will get better quickly, and it is best to kill the Prince of Wales.

But in Peter's view, things have now turned around.

George III's royal power was still relatively strong. If the king did not issue an order, Pitt would still be prime minister.

Although Parliament no longer supported Pitt, Pitt could still preside over the meeting.

Therefore, a cabinet meeting was held three days later, and the Prince of Wales was invited to participate and express his views:

"I don't know when His Majesty the King's illness will get better. In order to maintain the normal operation of the court, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales should be allowed to supervise the regency of the country."

The Prince of Wales has no independent opinion and is easily persuaded, so his final decision will inevitably be affected by the last person he comes into contact with.

You can stay with the Prince of Wales as much as possible and express your opinions selectively.

When necessary, persuade the Prince of Wales alone to make him accept your opinion, and stay with him to prevent him from going back on his words.
