Chapter 279: He Was Forced
"I now propose that Charles Chevalier, Marquis de Lorraine, replace Bourman Chevalier, former member of the House of Lords, as the new member of the House of Lords. β
In the solemn hall of the House of Lords, Speaker Rodririch, who sat at the top, parroted a proposal, and King Rousseff, who taught him this sentence, sat in the VIP seat next to him, seemingly a bystander, but in fact an overseer.
"I object, Charles Chevalier is only twenty years old, has no experience in governing and cannot assume the duties of a parliamentarian. β
"The opposition was ineffective, and the Marquis de Charles had inherited the county of Bayonne two years earlier, and had governed it well. Speaker Rodrich looked at the dissenting MPs and vetoed his objections with ease.
The members of the House of Lords are not elected, but are recommended, including the king, the speaker and several important senators, or ten senior members of the council, but they do not become members immediately after being recommended.
Every new member of parliament must be questioned and questioned by others, and if he has a defective moral character or bad deeds, he cannot serve as a member of parliament.
At this time, Charles was standing on a small platform, accepting questions and inquiries from others, but several times in a row he did not have a chance to defend himself, and Speaker Rodrich blocked it for him.
"I am also against it, the Marquis of Charles acted impulsively, he once crashed the sailing ship of Viscount Lambert in Aurelian, he may have great strength, but he does not have a stable heart, and he is not suitable to participate in the management of the kingdom........"
"The objection is invalid, although the 'Lothair' that crashed the Lamport family's sailboat belongs to the Chevalier family, but the Marquis of Charles does not know how to sail the ship, this matter has nothing to do with him!"
β........β
After Speaker Rodrich once again declared that his opposition was invalid, no one dared to jump out and find himself uncomfortable, and what was meant by "not being able to sail a sailboat"?
The few members of parliament who objected were either very hard-seated and had long since seen the vacancy vacated by the death of Bourman Chevalier, or they were a small group of people who hated the Charles, but they all understood now that King Rousseff, who sat next to Speaker Rodrich, was harder than anyone else about Charles entering Parliament.
How precious is the qualification of a member of the House of Nobles, the hereditary and management of so many nobles, and the various disputes between the noble territories, how many interests need to be balanced and resolved by the House of Nobles, not to mention that the councillors also have the right to propose the appointment of officials of the kingdom, and the appointment of county guards, governors, and even mayors are subject to the jurisdiction of the House of Nobles, how big are the rights and interests involved?
The aristocratic class overrode the plebeian class, and the House of Nobles was the coterie at the top of the aristocratic class.
I don't know how many aristocratic families in the kingdom have spent several generations of strength to be unable to enter the House of Nobles, but Charles is only twenty years old now, so he squeezed in so easily?
"With no objection, I declare Charles Chevalier, Marquis of Lorraine, the new member of the House of Lords. β
"Bang!"
Speaker Rodrich made a final decision, and Charles became a member of the House of Lords.
"Bang Bang!"
King Rousseff, who was sitting next to the play, applauded softly and smiled at Charles who came down from the small stage to congratulate him.
Charles also bowed to Speaker Rosseff and then Rodrich, and then walked to the seat that belonged to the old Marquis Bourmann Chevalier, but instead of sitting down at once, he spoke aloud: "I have a proposal!"
"Proposal" is an important right of the members of the House of Nobles, as long as the issues related to the interests of the nobles can be put forward for everyone to discuss, and some trivial matters will basically not be objected to, and no one will provoke a noble councilor with the right to propose and oppose for no reason.
"The Viscounts of Winze, Viscount Clonin, and Barons Bossy of Lorraine have long failed to fulfill their status as courtiers of the king, and have failed to preserve the dignity of the royal family and the rights and interests of the nobility, and according to article 6 of chapter III of the Law of Nobility, they shall be stripped of their nobility and their lands shall be returned to their original lords. β
"Oh!"
"I knew it was going to happen. β
"Today is not an official meeting, we should oppose it!"
"If Speaker Rodrich doesn't object, why don't you shut up! β
β.........β
"Bang bang bang!"
"Silence!"
Speaker Rodrich was not prepared for Charles's proposal, and he glanced secretly at the king next to him, hoping for some clear instructions, but only saw Roself smiling slightly, as if he had seen something interesting.
Anyway, it's none of my business!
Speaker Rodrich made an instant decision and smashed it with a mallet.
"The proposal works!"
There was a sudden silence in the council hall, and this time the proposal was passed so quickly that many people didn't react before it ended.
They didn't understand at all, how could an idiot earl, who had money or walls falling down for a few months, get the support of the king so quickly?
Wen Ze, Cronin, and Boxi were all nobles of the kingdom who had been recognized by the House of Nobles, and they were demoted to commoners all of a sudden.
Although such a proposal is the due right of the members of the House of Lords, the reason behind the passage so quickly is sobering.
"Now announce something!"
Speaker Rodrich looked at the Charles, and his deep voice echoed through the council halls.
"In order to defend against possible threats in the Nilan region, the kingdom is about to form the Lorraine Legion, which will be led by Charles Chevalier, Marquis of Lorraine, and the Lorraine Legion can recruit soldiers in all the territories of Lorraine. β
Speaker Rodrich glanced at the unknown noble councillors in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "In the future, all matters related to the Lorraine Legion will be decided by the military department, and will not be discussed in the council. β
"Boom!"
After a brief silence, the council hall suddenly exploded, and the noise seemed to tear down the high dome.
"So that's the case, that idiot used this method in exchange for the right to attack the lord, doesn't he know that the private army of our nobles is private property? Let the military department have jurisdiction over the ruling?
This was the idea of several well-known "runaway generals" at this time.
"It seems that he was also forced by Wembley to come up with this method to win the king's support, but I don't know if the king will do more with this matter......."
This is the idea of a few old foxes who are old and serious at this time.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Silence!"
"Tax and government changes will be carried out in the Lorraine region, and until the changes are completed, the relevant matters in the Lorraine region will not be discussed in the parliament!"
β........β
The cacophony was gone, and there was a deathly silence in the council hall, and everyone looked at Charles, who had just sat in the seat of the councillor.
Although it is not yet known what the changes in Lorraine are, there is no doubt that Charles must have paid more to regain the title of Marquis of Lorraine.
Charles slowly stood up, bowed silently to the top of the council, and turned to walk towards the door of the council hall.
His footsteps, his back, resemble a loser forced to sign an unequal treaty.
"He was forced!"
Everyone thought so, except for RosΓ©ph Augustine, who sat at the top.
"This little bastard, just like that guy, is really good at acting!"
