The first to stand up were the previously oppressed aristocracy.

At this time, there is no distinction between conservatives and non-conservatives, and it is purely a matter of interests.

Alfonso had previously established state-owned enterprises, reformed estates, created parties, and established shadow forces...... I don't know how many people have been provoked, they didn't dare to attack at the time, but they will come to bite when they find an opportunity.

On 5 July, at a regular meeting of the House of Nobles, discussions were taking place on social issues in the western interior, which, if approved, would allow the Autonomous Region of Extremadura to establish a publicly-funded orphanage.

At present, orphanages in Spain are basically set up by private individuals and churches, and the state does not pay attention to this aspect.

If this bill is successful, it will be a small step forward in terms of public welfare.

However, it would be a mistake to assume that parliament still has some role to play because of this. Because the order in which the proposal was introduced was like this, Prime Minister Campos approved it — it was proposed by the lower house — and passed by the upper house.

Exactly the opposite of the order in which it should be.

For the past two years, Parliament has lived like this, and everyone has been reduced to the echo of the Cabinet.

There is no way, although this legacy of the upper and lower house system has not been legislated for the time being, but after the establishment of the Progressive Guard, they have lost most of their power.

None of these nobles, clergy, and princes in the House of Lords dared to claim their innocence.

The bill was vetoed in the morning, and the people were taken away at night.

This is what really happened when Spain was just reunified, and after two years, no one dares to touch this mold.

Just when everyone thought that the day would pass so ordinarily again, Speaker Bustillo suddenly read out the next topic with a blank face: the abolition of the Provisional Judicial Assembly.

The audience was silent.

Bustillo, on the other hand, didn't seem to know what he was doing, and didn't ask his assistant for help, so he read down as usual: "After two years of reform, the parliament has re-admitted seven justices, and more than half of the members have obtained lawyers' licenses......"

But the people below didn't have time to listen to what he was saying, and the councillors quickly exchanged glances:

"You brought it up?"

"It's not."

"Did you notice you beforehand?"

"Nope."

……

Soon, with the exception of some members of the People's Party and the Civic Party, everyone confirmed that they did not know about it.

Then the thing is clear – it is the BJP that is the first to regain lost jurisdiction.

The reason is very simple, because Speaker Bustillo is the former leader of the People's Party, and after he was elected Speaker, he quit the People's Party.

In the audience, some members of the Progressive Party could not hold back and began to communicate.

There was trepidation on their faces, because it was clear that this was their mistake.

In terms of the process of convening a council, it is the responsibility of the council staff to inform the councillors of the content of the discussion in advance, even if it is a regular meeting without a specific topic.

But in the past two years, the council has not done anything serious, causing everyone to gradually ignore this stubble.

Or, even during Queen Isabella's reign, this rule was rarely enforced.

After all, it is not an era when you can send an email to get it, there are hundreds of people in the noble house, and the composition is complicated, some are party members and some are not, and they live far away from each other.

With the frequency of meetings, it is really necessary to notify each item in place, which is quite a lot of work.

Gradually, everyone tacitly understood that only major events that are difficult to solve will be notified and prepared in advance.

It's too late to pursue it now, and this matter can be blamed on the staff, and it has nothing to do with the speaker himself.

As for the judicial power, before Alfonso's accession to the throne, the House of Lords was also the Supreme Court.

This is not difficult to understand, since the justices themselves are mostly of aristocratic origin, and they are already at the top of a certain part of Spain's power.

This kind of person can easily be absorbed into the House of Nobles, and over time, the cases that cannot be resolved by the courts below will be handed over to the House of Lords for approval.

This was true not only in Spain, but also in many other bicameral countries of the era.

Alfonso realized that this would not work, and although he did not directly settle the parliament because he could not spare his hands at that time, he withdrew the justices from it and reorganized the small department of less than 100 members of the Provisional Judicial Assembly.

Everyone knew that the king wanted to rewrite the constitution, so the department had not changed much in the past two years, and it was still nominally the judicial post of the provisional House of Lords.

Speaking of which, in the past two years, the parliament has absorbed several judicial talents, and I am afraid that this idea has been in mind for a long time.

Juncras, vice chairman of the Progressive Party, complained bitterly, and others hid from it, but he couldn't.

He made two mistakes in this matter, one was that he did not detect Bustillo's prodigal ambitions in time.

In the first two years, Bustillo behaved as his identity requires, acting very neutral and not taking sides with any faction.

So everyone didn't have the idea of changing the speaker, and the left and right were just tools - the speaker didn't belong, and it was difficult to talk about any real power alone.

The second is that he did not act in accordance with the constitution, otherwise he could theoretically have known about the issues of the parliament in advance.

If he doesn't handle this matter well, I'm afraid that his political career will come to an end, and he can only go back to live his life as a little earl......

"There's still a chance...... Let's veto the matter in front of me first, and then we'll see later. Junklas thought to himself.

Bustillo dared to speak openly about this matter in parliament, and it was absolutely impossible for him to suddenly raise it with a pat on the head, and I am afraid that many forces outside would have begun to move.

He can't control the outside affairs for the time being, but it's still okay to stir up the yellow now.

He was about to listen patiently to Bustillo's finish, and then speak one by one according to the process.

An earl sitting next to him, who was also a member of the Progressive Party, suddenly tugged at his sleeve and looked at him helplessly.

The other party whispered: "Don't wait, Mr. Earl, who can be designated by the speaker to speak, don't worry about the rules for such a big matter." ”

Juncras was right when he thought about it, and immediately stood up to interrupt Bustillo's chatter, and said loudly:

"The parliament has not been notified of the abolition of the provisional judicial assembly, and it will be left for the next time, and this is the end of today's meeting."

"I'm not done yet, please sit down first, if you have any questions, I'll appoint you to speak later." Bustillo smiled playfully.

"Terminate immediately! Aren't you afraid of the Guards? Junklas said angrily.

Bustillo's expression changed and he said, "Really? Baron Arias, have you received the message? ”

"Huh?" Baron Arias, a member of the People's Party he pointed out, wanted to cry without tears, although he received the news in advance, he didn't want to be a bird.

Under everyone's gaze, he still stubbornly said: "I received it." ”

Bustillo then pointed to a few more people, either the People's Party or the Civic Party, all of whom said they had received it.
