Chapter 430 Harmonious Meeting (Part 2)
Okay, so far everything is going well.
Looking at Lyon, who picked up the bills placed on the single-person podium and began to read them out one by one with a smile, the finance minister in the audience couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, with a satisfied smile on his face.
Even though he had just told Joshua repeatedly not to worry, the Minister of Finance was obviously not as confident as he showed towards this great nobleman on the stage who was known for his wanton behavior and the least "aristocratic" behavior.
That is to say, the other party is the Acting Speaker of the House of Lords, and he is also the nominal head of the old aristocracy. He has contributed so much to the implementation of the bill to cut off the flesh of the old aristocracy that there is no second person who can replace him. Otherwise, he will never choose Take the risk.
At the moment, although the Lion-Hearted Duke on the stage is in an inexplicably good mood, since he has shown his willingness to cooperate, this meeting of the House of Lords has been 99% successful, and will never happen again. Something is wrong.
Under the confident eyes of the Chancellor of Finance, who was confident of winning, Leon on the stage picked up the small silver hammer, struck the golden clock twice, and then said with a smile on his face:
“Everyone, according to the agenda, what we are going to do next is the opening debate.
The most important topic of this parliament is a summary of the kingdom’s reform measures in recent years, as well as a review of the reform measures implemented by Princess Veronica... I would like to ask all the members here, some people think that Her Royal Highness Veronica Did the reform fail? "
"have!"
As soon as Leon finished speaking, an old man in rich clothes sitting in the first row stood up impatiently and said with resentment in his eyes: "I said last year that Her Highness Veronica's reforms were ridiculous! The Kingdom! The foundation is the aristocracy! But the regulations she implements are always aimed at suppressing the aristocracy! Her reforms are completely nonsense!"
"Uh-huh."
After nodding in response, Leon took out a charcoal pen and a small notebook, placed them on the single podium, and then squinted his eyes and looked at the name tag in front of the seat of the old man in rich clothes.
Earl Evans...note, note, note.
After writing down the old man in colorful clothes in his notebook, Leon continued to look around the venue and asked with a smile:
"Does anyone else have a similar view?"
"My opinion is the same as that of Lord Evans."
A sturdy middle-aged nobleman in his forties stood up and said with the same angry face:
"Her Highness Veronica claims to support industry and commerce, but she imposes extremely strict restrictions on us. Many projects directly refuse the participation of nobles, and even impose heavy taxes! This is a betrayal of the Kingdom's laws!"
Marquis Morley, right... mark it down, mark it down.
"Any more?"
"Yes, I also think Sir Morley is right."
Another middle-aged woman stood up and said:
"I have always respected Your Highness Veronica very much, but I cannot agree with her biased behavior. Her actions are tantamount to digging into the roots of the kingdom! If this continues, the country will not be a country!"
"Yeah, the momentum is good."
After writing down the middle-aged woman's name with two swipes, Leon, who was in a very good mood, continued to ask with a smile:
"Does anyone else have similar views?"
"..."
Yes, there is...but what do you want to do?
Among the more than a hundred non-voting members present, half had some criticisms of the princess’s reforms. However, in the face of Leon’s smiling inquiry, no one stood up to speak for a while, and they all looked at him in surprise. Lyon on the main stage.
According to the normal opening debate process, after one side stands up to speak first, the presiding speaker should ask if there are any members with opposing views and give both parties time to state their views. But the acting speaker, who took office for the first time, actually only singled out those who opposed the princess. Then when one person stood up, he made two notes, and when another person stood up, he made two more notes.
Considering that the other party is still engaged to Princess Veronica...if this wasn't a black record prepared for revenge afterwards, my mother would swallow the table in front of her right now!
"Are there just three objections?"
After looking around the audience, Leon nodded with satisfaction, then picked up the small silver hammer, struck the golden clock next to him, and announced with a smile:
'Since it is one hundred and sixty-five If the ratio is less than three, then there is no need to continue the debate. The opening debate ends here, and the next step is to review the proposals. ’
? ? ?
No...how the hell can this be done? ? ?
Facing the Acting Speaker, we cannot say that it is childish, we can only say that it is a complete nonsense. A member of the House of Representatives suddenly lost control. Earl Evans, who was the first to stand up against the princess, immediately started to protest. Pointing at Leon on the stage, he shouted angrily:
"You..."
Salute to me!
Leon, who had installed the [Prince of Thrush] badge in advance, quickly moved his lips a few times. Before Earl Evans stood up completely, he let him see the shape of his mouth and silently said this sentence. The words were passed on.
Immediately afterwards, the old man in rich clothes stood up from the table, his legs and knees straightened, his butt suddenly raised back, and he bent down with fear in his eyes, making a deep bow of ninety degrees towards Lyon.
In the confused look of the congressman, Earl Evans didn't know why he went crazy. He banged his head on the table in front of him and passed out without saying a word.
"Earl Evans committed suicide in shame and anger!"
Seeing the old count who suddenly grabbed the table with his head, Leon on the main stage was "shocked" and quickly shouted:
"Guard! Guard! Help!
It's really... I'm a lot older, but I'm still so angry. If I can't argue, I can't argue. Why can't I think about it? "
…
Thanks to the timely call for help from the Acting Speaker, the old Earl Evans was just knocked unconscious and was not seriously injured. However, the impact was so heavy that even the solid wood table was cracked. , it is unrealistic to say that it is completely fine.
The old earl, who was hurriedly pinched awake by the congressman, not only looked at people twice, but also took butterfly steps under his feet. Even though he was supported by two guards on the left and right, his feet were still kicking. If you follow the "S" line, you will definitely have to leave early.
"Alas...why do you think this is necessary?"
After watching the old count being carried away, he looked around at the congressmen who were whispering in the room. The Acting Speaker shook his head and struck the small bell next to him with a hammer again.
"Everyone, although Earl Evans is no longer here, the House of Lords cannot stop. Let us continue to the next step.
I have the proposals that you have submitted in advance, and on the table in front of you, there are also summaries of the main contents of these proposals. Next, I will read the names of these proposals in turn, and you are responsible for voting to decide whether the proposal can be Got passed.
First of all, it was the military department that sent the proposals regarding personnel adjustments. "
Coming!
After hearing Lyon's words, both the Finance Minister sitting on the side of the main stage and Joshua on the throne behind Lyon suddenly became energetic.
Veronica has almost made the arrangements, and this sergeant replacement order can basically be passed easily.
And once the sergeant replacement order is passed under the "presidance" of Prince Joshua, it will be equivalent to successfully picking the sweetest fruit of all, and no one will be able to shake Joshua's position!
