There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. The person who said this was Cupid from Ireland, a former British Prime Minister who was not popular at home or abroad, Henry John Temple Palmer.

pause.

It was this man who pursued a policy of conservatism at home and expansion abroad, launched two Opium Wars to invade China, suppressed the Taiping Rebellion, provoked the Crimean War, competed with the Russians for territory, suppressed Indian uprisings, and supported the South during the American Civil War.

slave-owning group.

He is a handsome young man who likes to associate with beautiful women. At the same time, he has become lovers with three of the seven famous hostesses of the Allmac Club. However, he himself is an Irish nobleman with a meager income.

When the Viscount's sister got married, the Times called him Lord Cupid. It was a surprise that he did not marry the charming wife of the Russian ambassador.

He was active in social life, including horse racing and flirting, but rarely participated in political activities. He tried investing, and the most successful income was an income of 17,000 pounds, but the money was taken away by his partners.

He was an Irish nobleman, but he did not enter the House of Lords. Instead, he entered the House of Commons as a member of Parliament for Newport on the Isle of Wight. One condition imposed by the lord of Newport constituency was that Palmerston could never enter the city.

In 1811, he changed his constituency from Newport to the more prestigious Cambridge University. Unfortunately, this university did not teach him anything. At that time, the British and French Emperor Napoleon were at war, and huge military debts were passed on to the working people.

People lived in extreme poverty, and many had to work as thieves and pickpockets, while he upheld the death penalty system of hanging for minor crimes such as theft.

Even the "cruel and barbaric" Arabs only chopped off the thief's hand. The British actually hanged the thief. They are truly a "civilized country". In 1820, he defied the people's request for a reprieve from the death penalty.

He was so cruel as to hang a young sheep thief. Through this move, he showed that he was a loyal defender of the interests of the Tory aristocratic group. From then on, he began to engage in frequent political activities.

He participated in the Peterloo Massacre and sent troops to suppress a mass meeting in Manchester. Many of these troops participated in the Battle of Waterloo. These "heroes" and "elites" who ended Napoleon's rule raised their butcher knives against women and the elderly.

The British government promulgated six bills in 1819, prohibiting assemblies, processions, restricting freedom of the press, etc. This "gag order" led to a political strike involving 60,000 people in Glasgow, and the person who implemented this law happened to be

Irish Cupid.

There is a big difference between the Anglo-American law and the civil law system. The civil law system generally adopts the form of code system, while the Anglo-American legal system often adopts separate laws and regulations.

The civil law system is also called the statutory law system. When hearing a case, judges in the civil law system first consider the provisions of the laws that have been enacted, and then make precedents based on relevant provisions and the circumstances of the case.

The common law system first considers similar previous cases, compares the facts of this case with previous cases, summarizes the legal rules that can be applied to this case, and uses the inductive method to list a large number of facts and legal basis as the basis for judgment.

The International Law of Secrecy is a civil law system. The Ministry of Magic's judgment cases are first tried according to legal provisions, and then argued based on a large number of facts based on the British and American law series. Taking Harry Potter's use of the God Guard in Little Whinging as an example, he first

Violated the International Statute of Secrecy, used magic in front of a Muggle, and violated the details of the third paragraph of the "Reasonable Restraint of Minor Wizards Act" enacted by the British mainland: Deliberately, knowingly, and residing in a Muggle

It is a crime to use magic in the presence of Muggles.

If the behavior is classified as a "criminal", he will be severely prosecuted. Not only will he be kicked out of Hogwarts, he may also have to pay a fine, or even leave a criminal record and go to Azkaban for a while. Albus Dumbledore

Defending Harry with the Restraint of Minors Act, Article 7 of the Act states that magic can be used in front of Muggles under special circumstances. Those special circumstances include when the wizard himself or other wizards present at the same time, Muggles

When lives are threatened, international law plays a relatively low role in binding local laws.

The case of Pavasir Dumbledore was tried in accordance with written laws such as the civil law system. Pavasir used a poison spell on Muggles. Regardless of whether he avenged his daughter or not, this was illegal.

Permitted, he was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban, where he eventually died.

The relationship between the Ministry of Magic and the Muggle government is up and down. Priscilla Dupont hates the Irish Cupid very much. She is a woman, and no woman will like this kind of "scumbag" who associates with multiple women at the same time. Pomer

When Na read that history, she wanted to cast the Avada Kedavra on him, but Priscilla just turned the coins in his coat pocket into frog eggs.

Even the Muggle Prime Minister was a Muggle. Priscilla's irrational behavior forced her to step down on February 17, 1858. Ironically, two days later, on February 19, Irish Cupid was also forced to step down.

This idea was still alive in the Middle Ages. The Prime Minister liked to be opportunistic and also liked to intimidate and deceive, whether in career or relationships. Generally speaking, these methods were successful at the time. However, during his tenure as Foreign Minister, whether in the Iberian Peninsula,

, Britain finally lost its interests in Turkey and the Middle East, and these countries became very hostile to Britain and had no good impressions of the Second British Empire.

In terms of love, he divorced his original wife in 1839 and married the 52-year-old widow of his mistress, Earl Cowper. The two people were very coquettish and lustful. They lived happily for a while. However,

Palmerston still had not gotten rid of his bad habits. In the same year of his wedding, he broke the virginity of a Queen's maid in Windsor. Queen Victoria was shocked, and even more shocked was Prince Albert. Who could have imagined? The Prime Minister was actually there

A maid was raped in the queen's palace. Of course, the maid was coerced into saying that she "voluntarily" did so.

At that time, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were both only 20 years old. Queen Victoria had been closely guarded by her mother since she was a child. She inherited the characteristics of the Hanoverian dynasty: stubborn, intolerable, and very independent. Prince Albert was very independent because of his mother's relationship with others.

He committed adultery. His parents divorced when he was 7 years old. He was educated at the University of Bonn and was a model of virtue, talent and self-discipline.

At first, they were a political marriage. Queen Victoria was very resistant to this marriage, but Albert had nothing to do with it. Queen Victoria tried every means to escape, but in the end she met Albert.

The place where they first met was Windsor, where the Prime Minister's rape case took place. Young men and women rowed, rode horses, painted, and played the piano here. The beautiful memories of the girl relying on the boy's broad chest were all crushed by the dirty hands of the Foreign Secretary.

Already.

In 1952, he was dismissed from his post by the Queen and his wife and sent to deal with the Eastern Question, which was the "opium promotion" formulated by this son of a bitch. The only way to deal with China was to "beat him up first and then explain."

Policy, he was the driving force behind the comprehensive promotion of the Opium War in 1840. Before the formal signing of the Treaty of Nanjing, the Manchu Qing Dynasty also formulated the Chuanbi Grass Treaty with the United Kingdom, which included the cession of Hong Kong. However, Palmerston felt that the benefits of this treaty were too little.

Ask the Chinese government to put the opium trade into a normal and legal status.

He was the one who captured Tianjin, BJ, and burned the Old Summer Palace.

He was the one who blocked the French from digging the Suez Canal.

In 1848, Russia invaded Constantinople. The city of Constantinople is of great historical significance to the Orthodox Church. Although it is not as good as the holy city of Jerusalem, it is a symbol of "the city where the Roman emperor lived". At that time, the society was anti-Russian

The mood was so intense that Palmerston, who was a cabinet minister at the time, put pressure on the Earl of Aberdeen, who had never wanted to intensify the conflict with Russia, forcing the Earl of Aberdeen to reorganize the cabinet and let Clinton, who was influenced by it, assume the position of foreign secretary, and then let him

His friend was the ambassador to Constantinople. When he translated the Russian message copied to Britain, he changed the word "make a report" to "issue an order", which caused an uproar in the cabinet, and the Crimean War broke out.

During the war, Russia defeated the Turkish fleet, and Palmerston suddenly announced his resignation, which aroused a wave of social opposition to the cabinet. The masses believed that the cabinet had excluded "real patriots", and the Earl of Aberdeen was forced to ask him to return

When he returned, Palmerston took control of the entire cabinet, and Britain and France also formed a coalition to participate in the Crimean War.

When he was 70 years old, Palmerston became Prime Minister. He proudly stated in the newspaper, "If someone had asked me in the past what was the least likely thing to happen, I would have said that I would be Prime Minister, Aberdeen would still be there, and Derby would be another."

The leader of the big party, John Russell, was the leader of the other big party, and yet just 10 days later, they were like straw blown down by the wind, so now I can write in Downing Street."

The most humiliating moment in his life was not his behavior of slandering the royal family like a male dog at Windsor Palace. Britain implemented a two-party system. Before the 1830s, the Tory cabinet led the period, and the opposition party was the Whig Party.

He thought he was a Tory, but no Tory regarded him as one of their own, even though he made his political stance clear by killing a sheep thief in 1820.

After Wellington became Prime Minister in 1828, he became a Whig and also became the Foreign Secretary at this time. He was flattering to those with power, but a strict and disciplined person to those without power.

His official position is Foreign Secretary, but he is very rude to diplomatic envoys. His heart is always the British Navy.

As early as the early 19th century, some laborers and sailors from South China moved to London and settled in the shipyard area. More and more people gathered there to serve the Chinese sailors in the nearby shipyard area. Later, it gradually became a legal opium den and

The slums are famous.

After World War II, with the influx of a large number of Hong Kong immigrants, many Chinese restaurants appeared in the area of ​​Juelu Street. Some owners who moved to the shipyard area continued to give up their shops to other local ethnic groups. Later, Chinese forces gradually occupied Juelu Street and became "China Town".

.

The days when Chinese people worked as coolies and worked as laborers are long gone. Only "titles" and "salaries" are in line with Chinese people's preferences.

Sima Qian recorded in historical records that the bustling world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. Today, there are many Chinese restaurants and Chinese supermarkets in Chinatown.

Maocai from Sichuan and Sichuan, Lao BJ's mutton hot pot, Northeastern grilled noodles, Cantonese morning tea, you will never be the same after a day of shopping. From time to time, there will be celebrations such as dragon and lion dances here.

At the same time, there are also business places such as mobile phone unlocking, pawn shops, traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, and massage, which some people consider to be "witchcraft."

Credit cards are popular in other parts of London, but cash is preferred in Chinatown, after all, there are many illegal immigrants here.

"Congratulations on the new year, dragon and horse spirit."

Pomona held Severus's hand and looked up at the Chinese text posted on the New Year's Memorial Arch. The merchants here were protesting against the big real estate developers, so they had covered up the words "London Chinatown". The British New Year had already passed.

However, the Spring Festival of 2005 is on February 8th, and the residents of Chinatown are now preparing for the New Year.

"What does dragon-horse spirit mean?" Severus asked.

"How do I know?" Pomona shrugged, staring at the rows of Chinese restaurants, and couldn't help but said in pain, "Oh, my God, what should we eat for lunch? There are so many choices!"
