Chapter 833

Not bad, everything is going smoothly so far.

Watching Li Ang pick up the motions placed on the single podium and begin to read them one by one with a smile, the Chancellor of the Exchequer below the stage could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Even though he had repeatedly told Watching Watching Qiaoshuya not to worry, the Chancellor of the Exchequer clearly did not have as much confidence in his heart as he appeared to have regarding this great noble on stage, who was known for being unscrupulous and whose style of conduct was the least "aristocratic."

It was only because the other party was the acting Speaker of the Upper House and also the nominal head of the old nobles, and his help in pushing through bills that cut meat from the old nobles was too great, that no one else could replace him. Otherwise, he would absolutely not choose to take this risk.

And right now, although the Lionheart Duke's mood on stage was inexplicably good, since he had shown an attitude of willingness to cooperate, then this Upper House assembly was already equivalent to 99% success, and there would be no more problems.

Under the Chancellor of the Exchequer's confident gaze of victory, Li Ang on stage picked up the small silver hammer, knocked twice on the golden clock, and then said with a full face of smiles:

"Everyone, according to the agenda, the next step is the opening debate session.

The most important topic of this assembly is the summary of the Kingdom's reform measures in recent years, as well as the judgment on all the reform measures pushed by Princess Veronica... May I ask if any of the assembly members present feel that Princess Veronica's reforms have failed?"

"I do!"

Just as Li Ang's voice fell, an old man in gorgeous clothes sitting in the first row stood up impatiently, his eyes filled with resentment as he said:

"I said last year that Princess Veronica's reforms were very absurd! The foundation of the Kingdom is the nobles! The regulations she pushed have been suppressing the nobles! Her reforms are completely messing around!"

"Hmm, hmm."

After nodding in response, Li Ang took out a charcoal pencil and a small notebook, placed them on the single podium, and then squinted his eyes to look at the name tag in front of the old man in gorgeous clothes.

Earl Evans... noted, noted.

After noting the old man in gorgeous clothes in his notebook, Li Ang continued to look around the venue and asked with a beaming smile:

"Does anyone else have similar views?"

"My view is the same as Earl Evans's."

A robust middle-aged noble, probably in his forties, stood up and said with a face full of anger:

"Princess Veronica says she supports industry and commerce, but she restricts us very strictly. She directly refuses noble participation in many projects, and even imposes heavy taxes instead! This is a betrayal of the Kingdom's Code!"

Marquis Moli, right... noted, noted.

"Is there anyone else?"

"Yes, I also think Marquis Moli's words make sense."

Another middle-aged woman stood up and said:

"I have always respected Princess Veronica very much, but I cannot agree with her biased behavior. Her measures are equivalent to digging up the roots of the Kingdom! If this continues, the country will not be a country!"

"Hmm, hmm, the momentum is not bad."

After quickly noting down the middle-aged woman's name, Li Ang, who was in a very good mood, continued to ask with a smile:

"Does anyone else have similar views?"

"..."

There are some... but what exactly do you want to do?

Among the more than one hundred attending assembly members present, half had complaints about the Princess's reforms. However, facing Li Ang's beaming inquiry, for a moment, no one stood up to speak, and everyone looked at Li Ang on the main stage with suspicion and uncertainty.

According to the normal opening debate process, after one side stands up to speak, the Speaker presiding should ask if there are any assembly members with opposing views and give both sides time to state their own views.

But this acting Speaker, who was taking office for the first time, only picked the side opposing the Princess to ask, and then noted down two points for every person who stood up, and noted down two more for every other person who stood up.

Considering that the other party still had an engagement with Princess Veronica... If this wasn't keeping a black book to prepare for retaliation later, I would swallow the table in front of me right now!

"Are there only three who oppose?"

After looking around the stage, Li Ang nodded with satisfaction, then picked up the small silver hammer, knocked on the golden clock beside him, and announced with a smile:

"Since it is 165 to 3, there is no need to continue the debate. The opening debate ends here. Next is the proposal review session."???

No... can it really be like this???

Facing the acting Speaker's operation, which could not be said to be very childish, but could only be said to be completely messing around, the assembly members could not hold it together. Earl Evans, who was the first to stand up to oppose the Princess, immediately slammed the table, pointed at Li Ang on the stage, and roared:

"You..."

Bow to me!

Li Ang, who had already equipped the 【Prince of the Travel Thrush】 badge in advance, moved his lips quickly. Before Earl Evans could stand up completely, he let him see his lip shape and silently delivered this sentence.

Immediately following, the old man in gorgeous clothes, who had slammed the table, straightened his knees with a swoosh, thrust his buttocks backward, bent down in horror, and gave Li Ang a ninety-degree deep bow.

In the stunned expressions of the assembly members, Earl Evans didn't know what kind of madness he had, but he knocked his head on the table in front of him with a bang and fainted without even making a sound.

"Earl Evans has committed suicide out of shame and anger!"

Looking at the old Earl who suddenly hit the table with his head, Li Ang on the main stage was "shocked," and hurriedly shouted for people:

"Guards! Guards! Save him!

This is really... he is already at such an old age, yet his temper is still so big. If you can't debate, you can't debate, why would you want to give up on life?"

Under the acting Speaker's timely call for help, fortunately in the misfortune, old Earl Evans only hit his head and fainted, and there was nothing serious. But that hit was really not light, even the solid wood table was cracked. To say that he was completely fine would not be very realistic.

The old Earl, who was pinched awake by the assembly members in a flurry, not only saw double, but his feet also started to do a butterfly step. Even though he was supported by two guards on the left and right, his two feet still kept kicking out "s" lines. Looking at that appearance, he must have had to leave early.

"Sigh... why bother."

After watching the old Earl being carried away, and looking around at the whispering assembly members in the venue, the acting Speaker shook his head and knocked on the small clock beside him again with the hammer.

"Everyone, although Earl Evans is no longer here, the Upper House assembly cannot stop. Let us continue to the next session.

I have the proposals submitted by everyone in advance at hand, and on the tables in front of everyone, there are summaries of the main contents of these proposals. Next, I will read the names of these proposals one by one, and everyone will be responsible for voting to decide whether the proposal can be passed.

First, it is the proposal submitted by the Military Department regarding personnel adjustments."

Here it comes!

Upon hearing Li Ang's words, whether it was the Chancellor of the Exchequer sitting on the side of the main stage or Watching Watching Qiaoshuya on the throne behind Li Ang, they all perked up at the same time.

Veronica has already arranged almost everything. This time, the non-commissioned officer replacement order can basically be passed easily.

And once the non-commissioned officer replacement order is passed under the "presiding" of Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, it is equivalent to successfully picking the sweetest fruit among all the fruits, and no one will be able to shake Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's position anymore!
