Chapter 434 It’s time to hire someone
Seeing his good brother-in-law in front of him, who was eager to try and was clearly ready to slap him, Joshua instinctively shrank back and slapped the armrest left and right twice to clear off the non-existent dust on it.
Forget it...
It's not that I'm a coward, but the main reason is that this female councillor and I are not on the same side. She opposes the replacement order, and I want it to pass, so why should I support her?
Besides, he is a prince after all, and will even be a king in the future. There are so many parliamentarians watching him in the audience. If he gets beaten and cries, and loses his dignity in such an important occasion, how can he convince the people when he succeeds to the throne in the future?
So... you're lucky. Now the overall situation is more important, so I'll let you go this time!
He glared fiercely... After stealing a glance at Leon, the freckled prince, feeling insecure without his uncle's support, lowered his head and began to pick his nails.
"Your Highness?!"
When Joshua "stood up" just now, the middle-aged female congressmen thought that he was going to stand up and speak up for justice and scold the acting speaker for his nonsense, and their old faces with thick makeup were full of surprise.
However, Joshua clapped his hands and glared, pretending to be fair, but he was just pretending, and didn't say anything after that. The middle-aged female congressman couldn't hold it anymore, and shouted in shock and anger:
"Your Highness Joshua!
The significance of you attending the meeting on behalf of the royal family is to supervise the parliament on behalf of His Majesty the King! To prevent people like him from doing wrong! If you don't stand up at this time, where is the face of the royal family?"
"..."
yes! ! !
After hearing the words of the middle-aged female councillor, the freckled prince suddenly became alert. If he did not stand up and speak at this time and act as if he was afraid of the other party, it would be tantamount to bringing shame to the royal family and would be a fatal blow to his personal prestige!
However, this thought had just occurred to him for a short while when it was extinguished by Leon's somewhat surprised expression, like a cigarette butt dropped into the river.
Just strike me, there is nothing that cannot be struck. Moreover, looking at his expression, it is obvious that he is waiting to "strike" me!
If I don't care about this matter, at most I will just lose face, but if I care about this matter, I will first be slapped in the face and then lose face again.
Since he can't even save his face, why does he still go up and ask for a beating? Isn't that simply a sign of mental illness?
……
"It seems that His Highness Joshua also approved of my temporary proposal."
After standing on the main stage and waiting for a long time, he found that no matter how the middle-aged female congressman howled, Joshua on the throne refused to speak. He lowered his head and kept picking his fingers. Lyon couldn't help but sighed in disappointment, then turned around and waved to the audience.
"Two guards, she is no longer a member of the House of Lords and has no right to stay here... drag her out!"
"You?! Let's see who dares!"
When she found that two guards really came up and wanted to take her away, the middle-aged female congressman immediately flew into a rage. She grabbed the podium tightly with both hands and shouted hysterically:
"I am the earl of the kingdom! My family has been a member of the House of Lords for two hundred years! You have no right to revoke my membership in the House of Lords! And you two! Damn it! Don't pull me! Get out of here!"
Perhaps they had never dealt with such a special situation before, and the two guards were a little at a loss when faced with the middle-aged female congressman's tantrum.
This man is now holding the podium, and it will be difficult to lead him away if he is pulled away by force. She is no longer a member of parliament, but she is still a noble lord. The two of them can't knock him unconscious, right?
The two guards, who had no idea where to start, tried to pull at first, but they tore her dress so much that her shoulders and head were exposed. They dared not pull anymore and looked helplessly at Leon, hoping that the "powerful" president of the parliament could give them some advice.
No... You can't even do this simple thing, and you still need me to teach you?
After noticing the two guards' pleading looks, Leon couldn't help but shake his head speechlessly, then took out a rope from his pocket and handed it to the two guards.
"???"
"Don't understand yet?"
Looking at the guards who looked somewhat bewildered, Leon could only sigh and pointed at the middle-aged female councillor who was hugging the podium and howling:
"She's holding onto the podium and won't let go. Why don't you just tie her up with the podium and carry them down together?"
Yup!
After receiving the instructions from the Acting Speaker, the two guards immediately came to their senses. Following Leon's instructions, they tied the middle-aged female MP and the podium together with a rope and carried them down together. Leon, who had lost the podium, was not in a hurry. He picked up the documents that fell on the ground, carried the small silver hammer and the golden bell, and walked back to the throne on the main stage.
"Move to the side!"
After pushing the trembling Freckled Prince to the side and giving up most of his position, Leon directly piled the documents in his hand on the wide throne. Then, in front of the frustrated eyes of countless parliamentarians, he picked up the hammer and knocked on the small golden bell twice again, and said:
"Come on, let's continue the meeting!"
"..."
No, is the market still open now?
Faced with Leon's cordial invitation and looking at the freckled prince who was bullied until his face turned blue but still didn't dare to say a word, the congressmen in the audience could no longer hold back.
You just raise your left hand and then your right hand, and it's considered passed by two-thirds. Joshua is a spineless man and doesn't dare to confront you. So now the House of Lords is ruled by you alone, right?
Anyone who stood up against you was fired on the spot, tied up and carried away like a pig. Who dares to challenge you? If you want to pass something, why don't you just vote on it yourself and pass it? Why do you have to bother us?
"Your Excellency, Acting Speaker!"
In the face of Lyon's perverse behavior, an old councillor with gray hair stood up and sneered in a sarcastic tone:
"The Senate session you presided over will definitely go down in the history of the kingdom! Whether it's the replacement order or the proposal to expand universal suffrage, you can decide what you want to pass. We won't accompany you!"
"Yeah, well, take care."
Leon was not annoyed by the ridicule. Instead, he looked around and politely suggested:
“Are there others who, like him, oppose the replacement order and the proposal to expand universal suffrage? If so, we can leave together.
Don't worry, I won't deprive you of your seats. Parliament is a place where people can speak freely. If you want to leave, feel free to do so. Don't worry about my retaliation."
"Since the Deputy Speaker has said so, we will not accompany you."
After hearing what Leon said, another congressman stood up and walked towards the door.
Immediately afterwards, one congressman after another stood up and left the venue early with gloomy faces, and occasionally a few low curses could be heard.
"absurd!"
"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're a duke! His Majesty will never tolerate such a thing!"
"This matter is definitely not over today!"
Touching the horns of the black goat with his fingertips, watching the congressmen with black and purple souls leave the gate one after another, and looking at the parliament hall that was much cleaner at the soul level, Lyon couldn't help but squint his eyes with unusual comfort.
"Everyone!"
When most of the opposition members had left, Leon swung his hammer and knocked on the small golden bell, and said shyly:
"I didn't expect so many people would oppose me. It seems that I am really not suitable to be the speaker. I am really ashamed...
Well, I declare a temporary adjournment now. Please stay where you are and don't move around. Joshua and I will go to the palace and bring back the person who is qualified to preside over this parliament!"
