After all... no matter which part of a Speaker's duties is taken away, it will weaken that Speaker's authority and is certain to provoke a backlash.
And now, Tang Feifei has opened up an alternative path, giving Huang Shangzong a different choice, which indeed piqued his interest.
This plan not only rationalized the division of duties between Tang Feifei and Qiu Tu.
More importantly... it also limited their powers.
If the duties are confined to a single city, then it's essentially like locking their powers within that particular city.
If either of them wanted to infiltrate other cities in Dongye State, or other departments, it would all seem improper and illegitimate.
Thinking this, Huang Shangzong glanced meaningfully at Qiu Tu, then asked, "Speaker Qiu, what do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu responded with a smile, "I have no objections. However...."
Hearing the first part from Qiu Tu, Huang Shangzong thought Qiu Tu had agreed, but then came a "however".
