Councilor Naresh glanced at Osilev and sighed.

As Queen, Elizabeth I cannot vote in the House of Lords.

Even with the vote of Osilev, the President of the House of Lords, the gap could not be evened.

This leaves Congressman Naresh with only five votes and at least two more votes needed to narrowly win the motion.

Councilor Naresh looked gloomy, he didn't have much hope for this.

He looked at the two neutral members, who would abstain from voting on bills most of the time.

Facing the now powerful Dolgoruki family, these two congressmen would not risk offending them by going against them.

"Yes, vote." Dolgoruky smiled slightly.

In his opinion, they will win this vote without any doubt.

"Okay, now those who agree to deny Polnev's title of earl, please raise your hands." Elizabeth I said calmly.

Dolgoruky raised his right hand without any hesitation. After he raised his hand, five people immediately raised their right hands.

Dolgoruky looked at Representative Naresh with a smile, his eyes full of sarcasm.

Councilor Naresh glanced at Elizabeth I and saw something expressionless on her face.

Sighing, although Elizabeth I was clearly in power in Tsarist Russia, she was supported by her own family and the Dolgoruky family.

The power in his hands has long been emptied out.

Elizabeth I, I'm afraid, won't be able to help.

"Six votes against, please raise your hands for those in favor." Elizabeth I said softly.

Dolgoruky sneered and said calmly: "Is it still necessary to vote? Naresh, do you think it is still necessary?"

Naresh had a sullen face, staring at Dolgoruky with a playful expression.

He reluctantly raised his right hand, and the people from the Naresh faction also raised their right hands.

Osilev must have agreed with this decision, and he also raised his right hand at this time.

Naresh glanced around and saw that there were only five votes, and he sneered in his heart. As expected, they had five votes and Dolgoruky had six.

Naresh looked at the two neutral members and saw that they were indifferent. He knew that they had definitely chosen to abstain from voting on this bill.

Dolgoruky smiled and said: "It seems that the result is already obvious. These two congressmen have abstained from voting."

“We voted six against it.”

"Five votes in favor."

"Please the queen announce quickly that Polnev cannot be made a count."

Queen Elizabeth I smiled slightly, looked at the two congressmen, and said lightly: "Did you choose to give up?"

Dolgoruki frowned slightly: "Can't the Queen see it? They haven't raised their hands now. They must have given up."

"Announce it now!"

Hearing these words, Osilev's face was filled with anger, and he immediately said: "Dolgoruky, you are too arrogant. If the queen has anything else, it is not your turn to dictate here!"

Dolgoruki's face turned cold and he snorted, but said nothing.

On the surface, Osilev was still the president of the Senate, a hero who eradicated Menshikov, a traitor, and a hero who persisted in supporting Elizabeth I to ascend to the throne.

Although he has merit, he can't break up with him yet.

Elizabeth I ignored their fight, looked at the two neutral members, and once said: "Two members, please tell me, are you abstaining from voting?"

Dolgoruki snorted coldly. He didn't believe that these two congressmen dared to offend him for the Naresh family, which was now at a disadvantage.

Naresh doesn't have any hope. The Dolgoruky family is too powerful now. They are lucky to be in this position. The only way for such a small family to survive is to remain neutral.

But at the next moment, Dolgoruky and Naresh, two opposing congressmen, looked at the two congressmen in disbelief.

"What!"

“Do you know what you are doing, you are voting yes!”

Seeing the two congressmen raising their right hands, Dolgoruky and Naresh were completely in disbelief.

They immediately came to their senses and looked at Elizabeth I, who was sitting at the head of the table, and saw the smile on her face.

Everything suddenly became clear.

It's her, she's the one who did it!

This woman!

Dolgoruky reacted, but it was too late and he could only sit down helplessly.

Naresh was still in shock. He didn't expect that Elizabeth I had already won over the congressman for her use.

Now she has to support a member of their family, she wants to...

"Seven votes in favor and six votes against, this motion...passed." Elizabeth I said with a slight smile.

"Polnev was made a count, but Naresh, we are not the only ones in Poland now." Elizabeth I said worriedly.

She spread out the military newspaper, which read that the Polish dynasty was no longer able to resist, but now both Prussia and Ottoman in Poland were competing for Polish land.

Frederick II is not something to be afraid of yet, but the Ottoman Empire, led by Hamid, attacked our army in Poland and is now about to form an encirclement with Prussia.

By that time, our army will be trapped in Poland and unable to assist Austria and France.

Seeing this battle report, the congressman fell into calmness.

Naresh also understood why he wanted to give Polnev on his side the noble status of a count. It was not only to support his family to fight against the Dolgoruki family.

Also let Polnev better serve Tsarist Russia.

The Ottoman Empire is still an autocratic monarchy. Although it is showing signs of weakening, they have a close relationship with Longyan and are well-armed.

Now the Principality of Austria cannot allocate more troops to besiege Prussia because of the landing of the Long Yan Army.

Although Prussia is in the most embarrassing situation now, if they are alone, they will start a battlefield with them in Poland.

At that time, Prussia will unite with the Ottomans. In Poland, Prussia can retreat and defend, and advance and attack.

But they, Tsarist Russia, have always been trapped on the continent of Poland, still blocked by Longyan.

"Members of Congress, the current situation is very unfavorable to us, Tsarist Russia."

"What can you do?" Elizabeth I asked with a sad face.

She knew almost nothing about marching and fighting. She had to rely on the Naresh family. They had experience in this area. She looked at Naresh.

Naresh looked at the map and analyzed the current battle situation. In fact, the current situation is that without foreign aid, Tsarist Russia cannot face the battle between the two countries for a long time.

Although Prussia has almost lost all its territory, Frederick II is this troublemaker. Who knows whether he will take crazy revenge in Poland after occupying it.

At this time, Naresh saw a small country on the European map. Naresh thought for a moment and said, "Queen, I have a way to solve the current crisis."
