Chapter 1104: A Harmonious Meeting (Finale II)

What do we take this place for?

After hearing Li Ang's shout, the members who had been shocked by the Minister of Finance's "assassination" came back to their senses, and for a time, anger surged up.

What do you mean what do we take this place for? Weren't you the one talking nonsense first? How dare you say that?

Damn, too little cooperation.

Looking at the members below who were cursing again, Li Ang's cheeks couldn't help but twitch, then he reached out and touched his cuff, pushing back a small section of goat horn that was exposed.

The Minister of Finance has been knocked unconscious, why are you still provoking their anger? Stop it immediately!

As the Black Goat was patted back into the Mirror World, stopping the effect of 【War Horns】, the anger in the hearts of the members, which had been surging, suddenly stagnated slightly. Li Ang also picked up the small silver hammer and began to strike the bell fiercely.

After the 'clang-clang-clang' bell sound drowned out the members' cursing, Li Ang switched badges, hammered the single-person podium again, and shouted righteously:

"If you just cursed me, that would be fine, but the Minister of Finance just came up to persuade you, and as a result, he was attacked and his life is still uncertain... Don't you feel ashamed?"

Taking advantage of the members' anger, which had been provoked and then suddenly subsided, and while they were somewhat at a loss, Li Ang patted the podium and scolded a few times, which managed to stabilize the situation, then shouted to the stage below:

"Don't just worry about the assassin! Hurry up and have two people come up, carry the Minister down to see a doctor, and see if he can still be saved!"

With the Minister of Finance unconscious and Watching Qiaoshuya stunned, Li Ang, as the Acting Speaker of the Upper House, was the most honorable person present. After hearing his call, several guards hurriedly went up to the stage and carried the Minister of Finance down.

Carried down with the Minister of Finance was Lord Moli, who had two ribs broken by the guards who pounced on him, his face pale with pain, unable to say a word.

But Li Ang, as the Acting Speaker, did not feel sad for the absence of these two important members for a moment. He immediately picked up the small hammer, struck the golden bell twice, and said loudly:

"Everyone, although the Minister of Finance is absent, the Upper House meeting should not stop because of this!

Next, what we are going to vote on is the proposal to increase citizen suffrage and expand the seats of the Lower House. Are there any objections? If not, then..."

"Wait!"

Just as the Acting Speaker was about to force the meeting to continue, the middle-aged female member who had stood up at the very beginning, along with Earl Evans and Lord Moli, to oppose the Princess and claimed that the Princess was digging up the roots of the Kingdom, stood up once again.

"The vote on the officer replacement order just now was too hasty! I demand a re-vote!"

After stopping Li Ang's reckless behavior, the middle-aged female member shouted angrily:

"Also, I do not recognize your status as Acting Speaker. You are completely messing around!

In my capacity as a seated member of the Upper House, I initiate an impeachment against you! And I demand an immediate temporary vote to revoke your seat as Acting Speaker!"

After saying this with a stern look, the middle-aged female member stepped out from the crowd, climbed onto the main stage, and shouted to the stage below:

"Members! Now! Those who think he is qualified to continue as Speaker of the Upper House, please raise your hand!"

Is he qualified to continue as Speaker...

As the middle-aged female member's question landed, the venue fell into silence. From the time a certain Lionheart Duke and reserve Prince presided over the meeting until now, the originally sacred and solemn parliament had been thoroughly stirred into a farce.

Facing the absurd scenes that had happened one after another, even the most die-hard Princess faction members really didn't have the face to stand up at this time and indicate that Li Ang was qualified to continue as Speaker of the Upper House. After all, everyone was a noble, and they still needed to save some face.

"Very good!"

Looking at the stage below, which was basically silent with only a dozen hands raised in total, the female member on the stage couldn't help but curl her lips, then turned to look at Li Ang, raised her eyebrows, and said loudly:

"The result of the vote is already very clear! Now I announce the revocation of your... what are you doing?"

"I am taking out evidence."

After grabbing the middle-aged female member's hand, taking out a letter talisman and two documents, and slapping them into her hand, Li Ang explained:

"This is the letter talisman of the Baohua family, as well as the commission signed by the current head of the Baohua family, Miss Auntie Ai Ma, entrusting me to participate in the Upper House meeting on behalf of the Baohua family, and the authorization document allowing me to exercise all rights of the Baohua family's Upper House Speaker seat."

"???" In the middle-aged female member's stunned expression, Li Ang shook her arm, then turned to the side and said to the members below who were in an uproar:

"According to the Kingdom's code when the Upper House was established, proposals opposed by both the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker are directly considered not passed; proposals recognized by both the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker are considered directly passed as long as the Royal Family does not raise an objection.

So now, I, in accordance with the Kingdom's code, announce that the proposal to abolish my status as Acting Speaker is not passed. You can go down."

"..."

The Baohua family's letter talisman and authorization document?

Looking at the things Li Ang took out, and after finding someone to verify their authenticity, not only was the middle-aged female member on the stage unable to hold on, but even the members below the stage were severely broken.

The seats of the Speaker and Deputy Speaker combined were equivalent to a two-thirds majority vote in the Upper House. As long as the Royal Family did not use its veto power, they could directly block or pass proposals.

There was indeed such a clause in the Kingdom's code, but that was hundreds of years ago when the country was first founded. The Lionheart family and the Baohua family combined had enough strength to even surpass the Royal Family, which was why there was such a code, representing the Royal Family's respect for the "Two Pillars of the Kingdom."

However, hundreds of years had passed, and the former Two Pillars of the Kingdom were no longer what they used to be. The Baohua family was destroyed in a rebellion six years ago, leaving only a single seedling, and although the Lionheart family was barely still alive, it was only an empty shell almost squeezed dry by the Princess.

But even though the situation had completely changed, this clause had indeed stayed in the Kingdom's code for hundreds of years, and was even still effective until six years ago, so...

According to the Kingdom's code, now the entire Upper House is up to this bastard Speaker?

"You... you can't count this..."

Being choked until her lips turned blue by the trump card Li Ang suddenly took out, the middle-aged female member still insisted:

"Although you have the Baohua family's letter talisman, I..."

"I now initiate a temporary proposal to deprive you of your member status."

After cutting off the middle-aged female member's words, amidst the blank gazes of the members, Li Ang first raised his left hand.

"Upper House Speaker passed."

Then he raised his right hand.

"Deputy Speaker also passed."

Then, Li Ang reached out and took off the member sash from the middle-aged female member's chest. In her blank eyes, he raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation toward the door, and said politely:

"Proposal passed, you are no longer an Upper House member, please go down."

"..."

No... how can you do this? You're not even pretending anymore, right?!!!

Being choked until her face turned blue by Li Ang's "legal" operation of voting with his own left and right hands and then announcing the passage on the spot, the middle-aged female member turned her head to look at the freckled Prince on the throne and shouted shrilly:

"Prince Watching Qiaoshuya! He is completely messing around now! Please use the Royal Family's veto power to veto his absurd proposal!"

Oh right, I am a Prince, attending on behalf of the Royal Family, I still have a veto power!

After hearing the middle-aged female member's reminder, Watching Qiaoshuya, whose brain had crashed due to Li Ang's series of operations, suddenly woke up, then subconsciously sat up straight, gathered his courage, and glared at Li Ang.

However, just as he slammed the armrest of the throne with force, preparing to speak out in a stern tone, he found that Li Ang had skillfully rolled up his right sleeve and was looking at him with a face full of gratification.
