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.
As a result, Representative Naresh only has five votes, and at least two more votes are needed to win the motion with a slim margin.
Representative Naresh looked gloomy and did not hold out 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.
"Well, if you agree to deny the title of earl to Polnev, 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 that she had no expression on her face. What could he tell?
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 she won't be able to help.
"There are six votes against, and those in favor please raise your hands." 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 and stared 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, knowing 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."
"The Queen please 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 quickly!"
Hearing this, 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!"
Dolgoruky'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.
