After discussing the small incident at the Tuileries Palace, let us turn our attention back to the Tuileries Palace.
At this moment, under the "selfless" devotion of the Imperial Family with a year's expenses and the encouragement of 10 million francs, a portion of the Legislative Corps members cast affirmative votes for the proposal to sell 80,000 hectares of state-owned forest. The proposal passed by a relative majority of 140 to 120 votes.
[The entire Legislative Corps has 275 seats. Excluding the 8 votes left by Favre, there are 7 abstentions.]
Subsequently, France's Vice Speaker Bijou struck his wooden gavel twice on the table, saying solemnly.
"I announce that this proposal is officially passed on January 16!"
Instantly, the entire Bourbon Palace resounded with applause like raindrops.
Half a minute later, the applause gradually subsided.
Bijou spoke again, "Representatives, let us move on to the next."
