Chapter 357: Hebrew Secret Medicine

10 Downing Street, Westminster District, London.

It was considered the most powerful place in the world by the people of this era.

The Victorian era of the British is undoubtedly infinitely remembered by later generations of Britons.

After the Crimean War and the Indian counterinsurgency war, Britain's global influence surpassed that of the Mongols of Temujin's time and reached the pinnacle of human history.

However, the British Prime Minister at this time, Earl XIV of Edward George Smith Stanley Derby, was not a man with the ability to match.

Sir Stanley became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom three times, but all of them quickly stepped down, and the total time of the three prime ministers was less than six years.

Last year, Sir Stanley became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom for the third and last time, and he was in his 70s.

In this day and age, 70 years old is definitely an old age.

For Sir Stanley, who had long been hollowed out by wine, he was now suffering from various diseases.

The good news is that a secret medicine that has swept European high society today has made Sir Stanley vaguely find a sense of youth again.

The drug was produced by a kosher pharmaceutical company and was purportedly based on an ancient Hebrew recipe from the Dead Sea Scrolls.

According to the instructions of the medicine, Jesus was born in a manger that year, and three wise men from the East brought him gifts according to the guidance of the stars.

In the Old Testament, the three wise men gave frankincense, myrrh, and gold.

In fact, such an account is not complete.

According to legend, the Three Wise Men of the East came from Persia, India, and even more distant and ancient China.

The Chinese wise man's name was Nanhua Lao Xian, and it was he who was the first to lift up Jesus and baptize him.

According to Chinese texts, Nanhua was a medical expert, and his disciple Zhang Jiao was a famous barefoot doctor in China, who was loved by the people.

What Nanhua gave to Jesus was not actually gold.

Quite simply, the Persians sent frankincense, the Indians sent myrrh, the first two are medicines, and the Chinese sent gold.

This is so counterintuitive.

In fact, what Nanhua gave to Jesus was also a medicine.

It is a drug that can rejuvenate and maintain youth.

Unfortunately, due to the persecution of the Roman government, this secret medicine has long been lost in the midst of displacement, leaving only some imperfect prescriptions.

It is said that if it had not been for the loss of medicine, the people of the Jewish state would have prospered as much as China, and would not have been destroyed and exiled to a foreign land.

Sir Stanley didn't really believe in this kind of ancient association.

But if there is anyone whose aphrodisiac is the most reliable, it is indeed Chinese or Indian.

After all, facts speak louder than words.

In today's era of rampant secret drugs, there are no phase III clinical trials or phase IV clinical trials.

Stanley just asked the old butler to try it and got satisfactory feedback from the head maid, and then he couldn't wait to take it.

Sure enough, the effect was outstanding.

Last night's madness made Stanley feel like his old waist was on the verge of falling apart until now.

According to the instructions of the drug, because this medicine was restored from an ancient formula, and the ancient prescription was also speculated by the ancient Hebrews based on the secret medicine of the Orientals, the final product has actually deviated far from the original prescription.

Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be some side effects of the drug, such as heart palpitations, hallucinations and so on.

But in Sir Stanley's view, these side effects were as wonderful as the effects of his own majesty.

Double pleasure, intoxicating.

This is simply the perfect medicine, a gentleman's medicine, and it is completely worthy of its price of 19 pounds a piece (equivalent to about 20,000 yuan).

With a yawn, Sir Stanley sat down in the Prime Minister's leather swivel chair and began his work for the day.

It is hard to imagine that the leader of the world's most powerful power today could be such an old fool.

But if it weren't for such an old fool, how could the British Empire sit idly by and watch the two great henchmen of the United States and Germany rise one after another in the past two years.

Of course, the British Empire had difficulties of one kind or another, but it was the old saying of Sir Humphrey that we could have done something in the beginning, but now it is too late.

Of course, there are some merits to being able to serve as Prime Minister three times, Sir Stanley.

First of all, his parents' illustrious family gave him ample political capital.

Unlike the Chinese who shouted "the prince will have a kind of Xiangning" 2,000 years ago, Britain is a highly stable class society, and ordinary people have no chance to rise at all.

According to later surveys, the surnames of students studying in Cambridge and Oxford in the 21st century are highly consistent with those of the upper class who had the right to vote in the Victorian era.

The same is true 150 years later, and Britain today is even more of a blood-based society.

In fact, 15 of the 49 heads of state in the British Empire can be traced back to the same ancestor, and only 2 are not from noble origins, and it is not excluded that they are like the one surnamed Kan, who was pushed out to carry the black pot.

All in all, Sir Stanley's illustrious family background was the number one reason why Sir Stanley was elected Prime Minister.

Secondly, Sir Stanley is known as the father of the Conservative Party and is close to Queen Victoria in political positions, supported by the latter.

In addition, Sir Stanley was an excellent politician......

It is not contradictory to be a brilliant politician and at the same time a crappy politician, how to say it......

High emotional intelligence: has excellent eloquence, strong appeal, and is easy to gain the support of voters.

Low EQ: The aristocratic son is bombastic and incapable of practical work, and is played by officials like Sir Humphrey Appleby, but he still has to play freely from time to time to add a bit of blockage to the doers.

And with the aging of age, Sir Stanley's original handsome appearance is long gone, and his eloquence has begun to speak in vain, and from time to time he will talk nonsense, which is a headache.

Today, in the Prime Minister's Mansion at 10 Downing Street, Sir Stanley's henchman, Benjamin Disraeli, is customary to report to him on important events, lest the uneducated and senile son of his brother be unspeakable in front of the Queen or the media.

For 27 years, beginning in 1840, Sir Stanley was inseparable from Benjamin's shadow in almost all his political activities.

It may be an exaggeration to say that he is Benjamin's marionette, but it is not wrong to say that the two worked together, the former was responsible for mastering the aristocratic style and selling his personality to the public, and the latter was responsible for specific government affairs.

To put it simply, it is the relationship between Bai and Ha.

"Mr. Prime Minister, do you have any other instructions on the conflict between the Northern Irish and the Catholics?"

Benjamin said respectfully, handing over the pen and papers.
