Chapter 1105: Time to invite someone

~8 min read 1,552 words

Looking at the good brother-in-law in front of him who was full of eagerness and clearly prepared to come up and give him a slap, Qiaoshuya's body instinctively shrank back, and the palm he had slammed on the armrest also swept left and right, clearing away the non-existent floating dust on it.

Better forget it...

It's not that I'm cowardly, it's mainly that I'm not on the same side as this female member. She opposes the replacement order, and I want the replacement order to pass, so why should I blindly support her?

And I am a Prince after all, and I will even be King in the future. There are so many members watching below. If I get slapped and cry, and lose face on such an important occasion, how will I convince people after I succeed to the throne?

So... consider yourself lucky. The overall situation is important now, so I'll let you go this time!

After fiercely glaring... stealing a glance at Li Ang, the freckled Prince, who had lost his uncle's support and felt guilty in his heart, lowered his head and began to pick at his fingernails.

"Your Highness?!"

When Qiaoshuya "slammed the table and stood up" just now, the middle-aged female member thought he was prepared to stand up and speak out for justice, scolding the Acting Speaker for messing around. Her old face, covered in thick makeup, was full of surprise.

However, unexpectedly, Qiaoshuya slammed the armrest and glared, putting on a look of wanting to uphold justice, but he was really just putting on a show. After putting on the show, he didn't even let out a fart. The middle-aged female member couldn't hold on anymore and shouted loudly in shock and anger:

"Prince Qiaoshuya!

The significance of your attendance on behalf of the Royal Family is to supervise the parliament for His Majesty the King! To prevent people like him from acting recklessly! If you don't stand up at a time like this, where is the face of the Royal Family?"

"..."

That's right!!!

Hearing the middle-aged female member's words, the freckled Prince suddenly woke up. If he didn't stand up and speak at a time like this, appearing as if he were afraid of the other party, it would be equivalent to bringing shame to the Royal Family, and it would be a fatal blow to his personal prestige!

However, this thought had only just surfaced in his heart for a short while before it was extinguished by Li Ang's somewhat surprised expression, like a cigarette butt falling into a river.

Let it be a blow, there's nothing that can't be blown. What's more, looking at his expression, it's clear he's just waiting to "blow" me!

If I don't care about this matter, at most I'll just lose some face, but if I do care about this matter, I'll first get slapped in the face, and then lose a lot of face.

Since I can't keep my face either way, then taking the initiative to go up and find a beating, isn't this purely a sick brain?

"It seems Prince Qiaoshuya also approves of my temporary proposal."

Standing on the main stage for a long time, finding that no matter how the middle-aged female member howled, Qiaoshuya on the throne refused to speak, lowering his head and picking at his fingers, Li Ang couldn't help but sigh with some disappointment, then turned and beckoned to the stage below.

"Come two guards, she is no longer an Upper House member, she has no qualification to stay here... Drag her out!"

"You?! Let's see who dares!"

Discovering that two guards really walked up, wanting to take her down, the middle-aged female member was furious, directly grabbing the podium with both hands, and shouting hysterically:

"I am a Countess of the Kingdom! Our family has been a member of the Upper House for two hundred years! You have no qualification to cancel my member status! And you two! Damn it! Don't pull me! Get out of here!"

Probably because they had never dealt with such a special situation, facing the middle-aged female member's shrewish behavior, the two guards were a bit at a loss for a moment.

This person was now hugging the podium. If they pulled hard, it wouldn't be easy to take her, and she was no longer a member, but still a noble lady. The two of them couldn't knock her unconscious, right?

The two guards, who had no way to start, first tried to pull, but directly tore a big hole in her dress, exposing her shoulder. They didn't dare to pull anymore, and turned to look at Li Ang helplessly, hoping that this "powerful" Acting Speaker could give them a trick.

No... can't even handle this little thing, and still need me to teach you?

Noticing the guards' pleading eyes, Li Ang couldn't help but shake his head speechlessly, then took a rope out of his pocket and handed it to the two guards.

"???"

"Still don't understand?"

Looking at the guards who looked a bit blank, Li Ang had to sigh, pointing at the middle-aged female member who was hugging the single-person podium and howling:

"She's hugging the podium and won't let go, so you just tie her and the podium together and carry them down directly, wouldn't that work?"

Right!

After receiving the Acting Speaker's guidance, the two guards suddenly realized. They directly followed Li Ang's guidance, used a rope to tie the middle-aged female member and the single-person podium together, and carried them down together. And Li Ang, who had lost his podium, didn't panic. He directly picked up the documents that had fallen on the ground, picked up the small silver hammer and the golden bell, and turned to walk toward the throne at the high place of the main stage.

"Move to the side!"

After pushing the freckled Prince, who was trembling with anger, to the side, and giving up more than half of the seat, Li Ang directly piled the documents in his hand onto the wide throne, then, under the collapsed gazes of countless members, struck the small golden bell twice with the hammer, and greeted:

"Come, come, let's continue the meeting!"

"..."

No, what kind of meeting is there to continue?

Facing Li Ang's warm invitation, looking at the freckled Prince who had been bullied until his face was blue but still didn't dare to make a sound, the members below the stage completely collapsed.

You raised your left hand and then your right hand, directly counting it as a two-thirds passage, and Qiaoshuya is spineless and doesn't dare to go head-to-head with you. So isn't the current Upper House just your one-man show?

Those who stood up to oppose you were directly expelled on the spot, tied up like pigs, and carried away. Who would dare to prick you now? You want to pass something, just vote for it yourself, and then pass it yourself, wouldn't that be it? Why do you have to toss us around?

"Acting Speaker!"

Facing Li Ang's perverse actions, an old member with gray hair stood up and mocked sarcastically:

"This Upper House meeting you are presiding over will definitely be recorded in the Kingdom's history! Whether it's the replacement order or the proposal to expand suffrage, you can decide whatever you want to pass. We won't accompany you!"

"Mm-hmm, take your time, I won't see you off."

Li Ang, who had been mocked, was not angry. Instead, he scanned the surroundings and suggested politely:

"Are there any others who, like him, oppose the replacement order and the proposal to expand suffrage? If so, you can leave together.

Don't worry, I won't deprive you of your member seats. The parliament was originally a place to speak freely. If you want to leave, just leave. Don't worry that I will retaliate."

"Since the Acting Speaker has said so, we won't accompany you either."

After hearing Li Ang's words, another member stood up, left his seat, and walked toward the door.

Immediately after, one member after another stood up, left the venue early with dark faces, and occasionally a few low curses could be heard.

"Absurd!"

"Don't think that just because you're a Duke you can act recklessly! His Majesty will absolutely not tolerate such a thing!"

"Today's matter is absolutely not over!"

Touching the horns of the Black Goat with his fingertips, looking at the members whose souls were black and purple, leaving one after another through the big door, and looking at the parliament hall, which was much cleaner on the soul level, Li Ang couldn't help but narrow his eyes with extreme comfort.

"Everyone!"

After the opposition members had almost all left, Li Ang struck the small golden bell with the hammer, and said with a slightly shy expression of self-reflection:

"I didn't expect there to be so many people opposing me. It seems I am indeed not suitable to be this Speaker. I am truly deeply ashamed...

How about this, I announce a temporary adjournment now. Please stay where you are and don't walk around casually. Qiaoshuya and I will go to the Royal Palace and invite back those who are qualified to preside over this meeting!"
