What do we take this place for?

Upon hearing Li Ang's questioning, the assembly members who were shocked by the Chancellor of the Exchequer's "assassination" came back to their senses, and for a time, anger could not help but surge up.

What do you mean what do we take this place for? Didn't you start talking nonsense first? Are you embarrassed to say this?

Damn, too uncooperative.

Looking at the assembly members who were scolding again below the stage, Li Ang's cheeks could not help but twitch, then he touched his cuff, and pushed back a small section of goat horn that was exposed.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has been knocked unconscious, why are you still provoking their anger? Stop it for me!

Following the Black Goat being patted back into the Mirror World, and stopping the effect of 【War Counter-Horn】, the anger of the assembly members, which was originally surging, suddenly stagnated slightly, and Li Ang also picked up the small silver hammer and began to knock on the clock fiercely.

After the clanging sound covered the assembly members' cursing, Li Ang switched badges, slammed the single podium again, and drank righteously:

"If you just scold me, that's fine. The Chancellor of the Exchequer just came up to advise a few words, and as a result, he was attacked, and now his life is uncertain... Don't you feel ashamed?"

Taking advantage of the sudden drop in the anger of the assembly members, Li Ang patted the podium hard and scolded a few words, which stabilized the situation, then shouted to the stage:

"Don't just take care of the assassin! Come up two people, carry the Chancellor away to see a doctor, and see if there is any rescue!"

With the Chancellor of the Exchequer unconscious and Watching Watching Qiaoshuya stunned, Li Ang, as the acting Speaker of the Upper House, was the most honorable person among everyone present. Upon hearing his call, several guards hurriedly went to the stage and carried the Chancellor of the Exchequer away.

Carried away with the Chancellor of the Exchequer was Hou Jue Moli, who had two ribs broken by the guards who pounced on him, his face pale with pain, and he couldn't 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 hammer, knocked twice on the golden clock, and said loudly:

"Everyone, although the Chancellor of the Exchequer is missing, the Upper House assembly should not stop because of this!

Next, what we are going to vote on is the proposal to increase citizens' universal suffrage and expand the Lower House seats. Is there anyone who opposes? If not, then..."

"Wait!"

Just as the acting Speaker was about to force the meeting to continue, the middle-aged female assembly member who stood up first, opposed the Princess with Earl Evans and Hou Jue Moli, and claimed that the Princess was digging up the roots of the Kingdom, stood up again.

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

After stopping Li Ang's messing around, the middle-aged female assembly member scolded loudly:

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

I, in the capacity of an attending assembly member of the Upper House, initiate an impeachment against you! And I demand to increase the temporary vote now to revoke your acting Speaker seat!"

After saying these words with eyebrows and eyes standing up, the middle-aged female assembly member stepped out of the crowd, stepped onto the main stage, and shouted to the stage:

"Everyone assembly members! Now! Those who think he is qualified to continue to be this Upper House Speaker, please raise your hand!"

Is he qualified to continue to be Speaker...

The middle-aged female assembly member's inquiry fell, and the venue fell into silence. From the time a certain Lionheart Duke and reserve Prince presided over the assembly until now, the originally sacred and solemn assembly had been completely stirred into a farce.

Facing the absurd scene that had happened one after another, even the most iron-clad Princess faction had no face to stand up at this time and indicate that Li Ang was qualified to continue to be this Upper House Speaker. After all, everyone was a noble, and they still had to have some face.

"Very good!"

Looking at the stage that was basically silent, with only a dozen hands raised in total, the female assembly member on the stage could not help but curl her lips, then turned her head to look at Li Ang, and shouted loudly with high spirits:

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

"I am taking out evidence."

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

"This is the letter ribbon of the Baohua family, as well as the authorization letter signed by Miss Emma, the current head of the Baohua family, entrusting me to represent the Baohua family in the Upper House assembly, and the authorization document allowing me to act on behalf of all rights of the Baohua family's Upper House Speaker seat."

"???"

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

"According to the Kingdom's Code when the Upper House was established, proposals opposed by both the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker are directly regarded as not passed; proposals approved by both the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker, while the Royal Family does not propose opposition, will be regarded as directly passed.

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

"..."

The Baohua family's letter ribbon 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 assembly member unable to hold it together, but even the assembly members below the stage were severely broken.

The seats of the Speaker and Deputy Speaker combined are equivalent to two-thirds of the people in the Upper House voting to pass. As long as the Royal Family does not use the veto power, they can directly block or pass the motion.

There is indeed such a clause in the Kingdom's Code, but that was several hundred years ago when the country was just founded. The strength of the Lionheart family and the Baohua family combined could even suppress the Royal Family. Only then would there be such a code, representing the Royal Family's respect for the "Two Pillars of the Kingdom."

However, several hundred years have passed, and the former Two Pillars of the Kingdom have long been different from the past. The Baohua family was destroyed in a rebellion six years ago, leaving only one seedling. Although the Lionheart family is still barely alive, it is only an empty shell that has been almost squeezed dry by the Princess.

But even if the situation has completely changed, this clause has indeed stayed in the Kingdom's Code for several hundred years, and it was even effective until six years ago, so...

According to the Kingdom's Code, now the entire Upper House is decided by this bastard Speaker?

"You... you this cannot count..."

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

"Although you hold the Baohua family's letter ribbon, I..."

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

After cutting off the middle-aged female assembly member's words, amidst the blank gazes of the assembly 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 assembly member ribbon on the middle-aged female assembly member's chest. In her blank eyes, he raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation toward the door and said politely:

"The proposal is passed. You are no longer an Upper House assembly member. Please go down."

"..."

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

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

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

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

Upon hearing the middle-aged female assembly member's reminder, Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, whose brain had been shut down by Li Ang's series of operations, suddenly woke up. Then he instinctively sat up straight, gathered his courage, and glared at Li Ang.

However, just as he slammed the throne's armrest and prepared to refute with stern words, he found that Li Ang had skillfully rolled up his right sleeve and was looking at himself with a full face of gratification.
