Chapter 31: the duke in the house of commons



  The House of Lords not only has a hall for parliamentary celebrations, a corridor of the palace for grand occasions, but also a room where the king wears a formal dress to attend grand ceremonies, and a waiting room where members exchange opinions and make some decisions. They are all beautifully decorated and unique. It fully embodies the elegance and nobility of the nobility.

  It has always been believed that the word "Commons" in the English "House of Commons" of the House of Commons comes from the English word "commoners" (to understand the common people), reflecting that the members of the House of Commons are all of common people\'s origin, so as to distinguish the House of Lords (House of Lords), which is controlled by the nobles. However, there is no historical support behind this explanation. In fact, the word "Commons" comes from the Norman French "communes", which means the community represented by the members of parliament, and has a geographical meaning.

  The Duke of Somerset walked to the speaking position under the leadership of gentleman Richard, and then saw a scepter placed in the hall. This is the tradition of the House of Representatives. Whether it is in the House of Lords or the House of Commons, a scepter must be put on during the meeting. This is to demonstrate the importance of royal power and warn the members of the debate not to do anything out of line .

"Men and Gentlemen, Be Quiet!" Richard Straul stood on the rostrum, stomped his cane, and made a thumping sound. Suddenly, the entire hall fell silent. Looking at the two people on the podium.

   "Today, His Excellency the Duke of Somerset came to the House of Commons to explain his bill to us!" Richard said in a hoarse voice, looking extraordinarily imposing in the large hall.

   "Crack! Crack! Crack!..." Thunderous applause erupted from the audience. I don\'t know whether it was to welcome the Duke or to respond to Mr. Richard\'s speech.

   Immediately, Gentleman Richard left the podium with clumsy steps, leaving the Duke alone on the stage.

Edward Seymour looked at hundreds of people in the audience. Among them were the earthy Yomannon, the shrewd merchants with philistine faces, the handicraftsmen who patched clothes, and the local gentlemen and rude knights. them.

  Actually, the duke doesn’t want to communicate with these lowly common people. It’s just a tradition passed down from Henry VII’s time. Legislative power must be exercised through parliament in order to truly establish legal provisions that are common throughout the country.

   "Dear Members of Parliament..." His Excellency held his temper, slightly revised the content of the speech in the House of Lords, and delivered the speech to the members of the House of Commons.

  After the speech, there was a burst of applause as usual. After a while, His Excellency the Duke heard the noisy discussions below, like a vegetable market.

"Common people are common people. They don\'t have the quality and self-cultivation that nobles should have. It\'s really a shame to be with them!" Sir Edward Seymour couldn\'t help but despise the many councilors in the audience, but the smile on his face remained, and he looked as good as ever. Elegant and calm.

  After finishing his speech, His Excellency the Duke turned around and left the hall of the House of Commons, heading for the House of Lords.

   Sure enough, His Excellency the Duke had just arrived at the House of Lords. The Speaker of the House of Lords, Baron Brad Adam, followed Duke Seymour and took out a document in his hand.

   "Dear Your Excellency the Duke! The results of our discussion in the House of Lords have come out!" The baron had a serious face, especially wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, which added a bit of majesty.

   "Oh! Really? I don\'t know what the result will be?" The Duke of Somerset looked nervous, showing that he was very concerned about the result.

  Actually, Edward Seymour already had a guess in his mind as a result of the discussions of the nobles in the House of Lords.

   You must know that the sixteen most powerful nobles and priests in England have already agreed. Among them are not only the leaders of the secular nobles except the king, but also the highest bishops in the entire Church of England. Therefore, His Excellency the Duke believes that there is no suspense in the matter, and it will definitely pass.

   Sure enough, Baron Brad Adam did not disappoint him, and showed him the unanimous results of the discussion between the nobles and senior priests of the House of Lords.

"After enthusiastic discussions among members of Parliament, with 189 votes in favor, 35 against, and 7 abstentions, we unanimously passed your reform bill, Your Excellency the Duke! You can enact it and implement it! "The baron read the document solemnly, without any pause or delay. Edward Seymour\'s relatively old voice was so pleasant to hear!

  Even though he already had the answer in his heart, the Duke still felt a surge of excitement in his heart, and a gentlemanly smile slowly appeared on his face.

   "Thank you for your hard work, Baron Adam!" "You are welcome, we are also for England!"

   "Yes! We are for England!" His Excellency the Duke and Baron Adam smiled knowingly, and the atmosphere seemed so harmonious.

  The two walked happily to the inner room of the House of Lords. This is the resting place for the nobles and the king, and the decoration looks very luxurious.

  During the Tudor dynasty, the House of Lords was significantly stronger than the House of Commons.

  In the later period of Henry VIII, among the proposals of the House of Representatives, the House of Lords moved 183 bills, while the House of Commons only moved 127, crushing the House of Commons in number.

And since most of the members of the House of Lords are local high-ranking people, for example, the Bishop of Buckinghamshire is a member of the House of Lords, so he has great influence on the low-level priests in Buckinghamshire, while the Earl in Manchester is Can influence the decisions of knights and gentlemen in Manchester.

  The House of Commons at that time had these people as the main components. What? What about the bourgeoisie? They had almost no say in the House of Commons at that time, even the blacksmiths who forged iron had more say than them.

  So, during the Tudor dynasty, as long as the House of Lords moved and passed the proposal, the House of Commons would pass it in all likelihood.

  The Duke of Somerset and Baron Adam are leisurely enjoying the tea from the Far East Empire, talking about life and ideals from time to time! And our Majesty Edward VI is drinking tea and discussing ideals.

   But he is not an elegant and aristocratic baron with him, but a rude knight with muscles all over his body and a beard on his face!

  Of course, before that, we need to solve the problem of Princess Elizabeth!
