The Parliament of the Dragon Kingdom is located at the foot of Longtai Mountain. The entire building is like a square boulder.
It is said that when the kingdom was first established, there were several parliamentary events every year, and the dragon clan would also send representatives to attend. These legendary dragons squatted on the roof of the parliament and listened to the speaker report the results of the motion.
In the past thousand years, the dragons have no longer been distracted by the affairs of the kingdom. The square roof that could have opened to the sky is now blocked.
The Dragon Scale Hall on the top floor of the parliament, which is nearly 30 meters high, 200 meters long from north to south, and 100 meters wide from east to west, has become the meeting hall of the Grand Council composed of the High Council and the Noble Council. Whenever there is a major agenda, this hall The hall will be open to all high-level officials in the kingdom to discuss various policies in the kingdom.
In the center of the north wall of the hall, the highest point is the position of the three national pillars. Directly in front of them and one floor below is the position of the king, and in front of the king and downward is the position of the speaker. This positional relationship represents The pillars guarded the kingdom, while the king was in charge of the high-ranking officials and nobles.
In front of the Speaker, there are several rows of seats for the nobles. These seats include field nobles above the earl, palace nobles above the marquis, as well as the heads of knights, bishops of the Temple Alliance, and heads of various important departments.
After these people, high-level seats were distributed like dragon scales, and each seat represented at least one high-level person.
On the night of the 11th, the Dragon Scale Hall was brightly lit. Members of the High Council and the Lords Council needed to review the candidates and books for this year's Red Dragon Literary Awards tonight, and send the lists to Red Dragon Rock before the early morning. Go up.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, Lant walked into the Dragon Scale Hall, but the content being reviewed here was not the list.
"Dear seniors and lords, there is no doubt that the Griffin Knights in the Royal Capital have not completed their due tasks in the past few days!" The voice of the Eastern Marquis Duma Feilong came from the hall, "I request that the Su Xi Lanyuan’s position as leader!”
"I agree! Although Susie is an excellent gryphon knight, the royal capital is complicated, and her recent actions have seriously disrupted the production of various workshops!" Ente Blue Lion, Earl of the Southwest, also echoed, "On behalf of All senior members of the family agree to this dismissal!"
"Everyone, the Marquis of Duma and the Count of Ent have enough voting rights. The Great Council will conduct high-level voting and lord voting respectively!" the speaker said loudly.
The voting of the High Council of the Dragon Kingdom is very unique. Every high-ranking person in the kingdom has the right to vote, but the weight is not consistent. Each national pillar has 10 votes. Those who have formal positions or palace titles in the kingdom Seniors have 1 voting right. If they are not present, they can delegate in writing and be represented by other senior representatives.
Those without titles or with high positions in the kingdom also have the right to vote, but they must be formally present to exercise this right.
As the speaker spoke, King Dusen took the lead and said: "I object on behalf of the 15 senior members of the Baixiao family!"
"I object on behalf of the 25 senior members of the Lanyuan family!" Prime Minister Richelieu Lanyuan also said.
"17 high-level supports from our Elk family!"
"The Blue Dragon family announced that they will abstain from voting on this motion!",
"The Drizzt family abstains from this motion!"
…
Susie's appointment soon became an opportunity for all the families to take a stand. Except for some high-ranking officials without formal titles who were pulled over by the king, most families did not dare to offend the Feilong family and all voted in support of Susie's removal.
"Your Majesty Dusen, Susie has indeed gone a little too far recently," national pillar Bennett Feilong spoke just after the voting situation became very clear.
"I suggest that she be transferred from the Griffin Knights. There is no need to dampen the child's enthusiasm."
According to the procedure, after the High Council proposes a bill, it will be reviewed by the Noble Council. However, most of the nobles themselves are high-ranking, and even the pillars of the country have their own fiefs. Therefore, usually, there is a dispute between the High Council and the Noble Council. The results of the vote will not be divisive.
Faced with a situation that was beyond repair, King Toussaint glanced at Prime Minister Richelieu and could only nod and said, "Then transfer her to the south first."
The king's words were approved by everyone. Susie, a big troublesome person, was transferred away. They no longer had to go through the procedures of the noble council and could directly start the next topic.
"Your Majesty the King, Your Excellencies, I think the Kingdom's Succession Law should be revised..." Seeing that his first goal was easily achieved, the Duma began to confidently attack the final goal: to revise the King's Succession Law.
"Marquis Duma, please wait!" However, the speaker interrupted the Duma, because Lant had already walked from the back of the parliament to the seat of the nobles.
Because Lant has never participated in the Kingdom Council, no one has prepared a seat for him, but as the Duke of the Kingdom and the Duke of the Empire, he should sit at the front of all the nobles on the ground, which is where Duma Feilong sits.
"Duke Lant? Do you have any proposals when you come here?" The speaker regretted that he did not arrange a seat for Lant and said quickly, "I have to remind you that it takes at least 20 high-ranking people or two national pillars to propose a proposal. For your support, you..."
As soon as he said this, the speaker suddenly shut up. The Lant family really had two national pillars, and these two national pillars had been recognized by Honglongyan.
In other words, Halkara and Ernst also had the right to participate in the affairs of the Dragon Kingdom before the Galloping Horse Kingdom was established.
Lant said calmly: "His Majesty the King, Your Excellencies, Lord Speaker, on behalf of the two pillars Halkara and Ernst, I propose that the kingdom enter a state of emergency!"
"What?"
Rand's proposal sent shockwaves through the room.
"Everyone, now the entire Blue Dragon family, including Mr. McLaren, is assisting the dragons in fighting the sea. As a servant of the dragon family, the dragon kingdom should enter a state of emergency and fully support this war!" Lant! Pointing to the high position on the north side, among the three original seats for the national pillars, now only Bennett Feilong and Gorkesh Red Dragon are sitting on the chairs belonging to the national pillars.
When a state of emergency is entered, Dragon Tooth City will be mobilized accordingly, and the Parliament will also suspend the review of all important legal changes, such as the Throne Succession Law. Therefore, the actual content of Lant's bill is to temporarily shelve the Feilong-Blue Lion family's bill.
Hearing this, Duma Feilong stood up unceremoniously and shouted loudly, "Duke Lant! I object to your proposal, and I am also sure that all the senior officials who supported me just now will also object to your proposal. Impossible to pass!”
"Really?" Lant looked at Duma and said with a smile, "The Marquis doesn't even know how many senior members of my family there are, so he dares to say such big words?"
Duma's face twitched, and he said harshly: "Besides you, there are not many high-level people in your family, right? Even if you have a few high-level monsters, can they come to vote?"
"No need, they have official positions in the kingdom, I can vote directly on their behalf!"
