Her eyes slowly swept across the faces of everyone sitting at the conference table in the hall.
"My Lords, are you all aware of this matter?"
Everyone present, except for the Cabinet Chief, Quan Juntai, the President of the Senate, Li Hengchang, and the Minister of Justice, bowed and said, "Queen, we just learned about this matter just like you."
Li Hengchang said awkwardly, "Minister of Justice, when will this constitutional amendment be announced?"
Queen Lee Bong-eun interrupted him and said with great displeasure, "When? - Amending the Constitution is so easy?!"
"Can a special panel of the Senate's legal committee amend the Constitution?!"
"I'm a law major, and I didn't know there was such a rule in the Empire's laws!"
The Minister of Justice, who came from the Li family, felt even more embarrassed and whispered, "...Yes..."
"The Magna Carta of the constitutional monarchy contains a backdoor regarding the law of succession. This means that if His Majesty the Emperor himself initiates an amendment regarding succession rights, it only needs the approval of the five members of the special panel of the Law Committee..."
"This only applies to the right of succession, especially the right to inherit the throne."
"Other inheritance rights are merely extensions of this law."
"If Your Majesty wishes, the inheritance rights of all the people in the empire can be included."
"This time, it was indeed His Majesty himself who proposed the amendment, and it included the inheritance rights of all the people in the empire."
"In accordance with the provisions of the Magna Carta, the bill was passed on third reading by a special panel of the Legal Committee of the Senate, after a closed-door meeting."
"Then it will be handed over to His Majesty with the Imperial Seal, and then sent to the Ministry of Justice for entry into the system, and it will officially take effect."
Queen Li Fengen couldn't help but blush.
The corners of her mouth twitched, and she cursed the Tantai royal family in her heart for being so insidious!
There is still such a backdoor in the Magna Carta that catches people off guard!
It can be imagined that during the discussion of constitutional monarchy, the emperor must have given up other interests in order to retain this backdoor.
And this law, to put it bluntly, is not important at all to people outside the royal family.
Even for the men who made the laws, they preferred that their own children, whether born in wedlock or not, have inheritance rights.
After all, from a biological perspective, males are the most enthusiastic about spreading their genes.
The Tantai royal family has never used this back door.
Constitutional monarchy has been around for a thousand years, so long that everyone has forgotten it existed.
But Queen Li Fengen is not a top student.
When I was studying law in college, my exam scores were just barely passing.
But she was born into the Li family and was the eldest daughter of the head of the Li family. Her status was extremely noble. Who would care about those meager achievements?
And the test scores only account for a small part of her total score.
Her final score was completely boosted by her excellence in other aspects.
So she is also an outstanding graduate from the Law Department of Beichen University, graduating with first-class honors!
Who would have thought that the most outstanding graduate of the Law Department of Beichen University didn’t even know the backdoor of the Magna Carta!
It can be seen how much water there is in her first-class honor!
However, for those who came from aristocratic families, being willing to go to school every day already surpassed ninety-nine percent of the children of aristocrats.
Queen Li Fengen was indeed one of the most outstanding children among the aristocratic children.
Otherwise, why would the old emperor agree to let her become the prince's wife?!
But the opportunistic practices back then have become the basis for today's shame.
Queen Li Feng'en stood up suddenly and said coldly: "This law was passed too hastily."
"I propose that the freezing of this law be temporarily shelved until your Majesty and I find our biological daughter and ascend the throne, and then the freeze will be lifted!"
Everyone understood what she meant by this, that she wanted to pave the way for her daughter to ascend the throne.
She doesn't allow anyone else to have the same inheritance rights!
The meeting ended in a bad mood.
As for the media, whether it was the Royal TV station that was inside the hall and witnessed the entire meeting, or the bustling self-media and star media outside the hall, they were all busy forwarding the latest news.
The fastest way to publish is to use your official account on social media to push the main content first.
Then let the host invite experts to join the online discussion to interpret the impact of this law on the entire empire.
Finally, at the end of the show, it was mentioned that the queen was looking for the little princess who had disappeared twenty years ago.
