My British Empire

Seeing this, Edward patted the stupid bear's head and raised the fishing rod. Then the stupid bear turned his head and looked at the river again with his chubby head.

"Your Excellency, I don't know if you came to see me. What's the matter?" Edward asked softly, fishing without looking at him, looking at the clear and calm river like a stupid bear.

"Your Majesty, I came here this time not on my own will, but on behalf of the nobles. I am begging Your Majesty for mercy!"

The young Duke looked at the huge body of the stupid bear, then at the immobile body of His Majesty the King, and his calm expression. He took a big step, stood five feet away from Edward, and reported.

"Oh? Is that so? What's wrong with those nobles? If there's anything you need to ask your majestic duke to intercede in person, tell me!"

His majesty's yin and yang voice came from his ears, and the young duke was startled. He rubbed his right foot on the lawn unconsciously. He heard from the words that his majesty was very dissatisfied with his arrival.

However, as the only duke in England and the representative of the entire English aristocracy, he does not have the prestige of his own father, and he cannot convince the aristocrats simply by relying on his title.

Therefore, the nobles urged him to come and meet His Majesty in unison. In order to maintain the dignity of the nobles, and also to maintain his position as the leader of the English nobles in his own family, he had no choice but to come to meet the king with the cheek.

As mentioned earlier in the War of the Roses, the English nobles suffered countless casualties, extinct, extinct, and rebellious, which almost brought a big sweep to the English nobles.

Coupled with the lessons learned from the previous dynasty, the two monarchs, Henry VII and Henry VIII, have been suppressing the aristocratic group, forcing this class of aristocrats who were originally enemies of the king and separated powers to beg for mercy and attach themselves to the king.

Therefore, when Edward came to the throne, there was only one duke, the real duke, and the court duke was not counted.

Therefore, the Duke of Norfolk, as the only Duke, is naturally the natural leader of the nobles.

"Why beg for mercy?" Edward deliberately pretended to be confused and asked.

For a moment, the young Duke was not used to His Majesty's shamelessness, and was surprised.

In this regard, he could only bend down respectfully and look at the big fat bear with saliva splashing from the corner of his eye from time to time, and carefully apologized with a smile:

"Your Majesty, a while ago, Dark Blade and the Palace Intelligence Service suddenly arrested several barons in broad daylight, do you know?"

"I know! What's the matter?" Edward then turned his head, as if it was a matter of course.

As soon as he finished speaking, the young Duke's expression froze, as if he was constipated, very embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, you know that the nobles are the cornerstone of the kingdom. It's out of date to arrest several barons without pronouncing charges!"

The Duke of Norfolk looked at His Majesty's flat face and felt the faint majesty, swallowed his saliva, and could not speak more euphemistically.

"Oh! I know what you mean!" Edward looked suddenly enlightened, and when His Excellency the Duke showed a happy expression, he turned around and continued to fish.

This time, the Duke's expression became even uglier.

"Do you want to say that arresting the nobles at will will damage the dignity of the nobles and make them more likely to be dissatisfied, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have exactly that intention!" Your Excellency the Duke quickly agreed.

"Then you don't have to worry about it. In a few days, their charges will definitely come out. I didn't target the nobles, but just them!"

His Majesty the King hurriedly threw the fishing rod upwards, and then pulled it up. The stupid bear knew that something was coming, so he quickly opened his mouth to bite the fishing rod, and pulled it back together.

And His Excellency the Duke at the side also immediately came over to help, and soon, a big fish about one foot was jumping around on the grass.

After working for such a long time, Edward felt a little excited, and he couldn't help saying to His Excellency the Duke at the side.

And the chubby and fat stupid bear squinted his eyes when he saw it, and spewed out his saliva like the water in the river. Before Edward could react, he rushed straight at lightning speed, a bear rolled, a big fish It was near his mouth, with four cylindrical thighs, he stepped forward quickly, and after a while, he was about ten meters away from Edward.

"Damn it, this stupid bear!" Edward reacted, seeing this appearance, he couldn't help but blurted out a curse.

Seeing the surprised look on the face of the Duke at the side, he quickly restrained himself, showing a calm look on his face again.

"Your Majesty, since this is the case, I have nothing to say!" His Excellency the Duke could only sigh in frustration, and said softly.

"But, Your Majesty, you must know that the Scottish nobles are unreliable, and only we English nobles are the most powerful pillars of the royal family!"

After saying these words, the young Duke bid farewell to His Majesty the King, ending the journey of meeting.

But our Majesty the King is thinking about his last words.

The so-called English nobility and Scottish nobility are just two groups of nobility in the British Kingdom.

Although Scottish and English nobles sometimes marry, in the final analysis, one is a Kate and the other is an Anglo-Saxon, and the culture and language are different.

With the establishment of the United Kingdom, and driven by His Majesty the King intentionally or unintentionally, many Scottish nobles began to settle in London and came to the bustling city of London.

As the saying goes, shallow water is more than good.

In the past, London and the court naturally seemed affluent for the English nobles alone.

But the migration of the Scottish nobles made the city of London extraordinarily noisy.

Moreover, with the establishment of the United Kingdom, the power of the central government was also sought after by many nobles.

However, the positions of the central government are limited, and the two factions naturally compete.

The two factions of nobles naturally became dirty.

After all, there is no central government official to be a member of parliament who has nothing to do.

The English aristocracy occupies a favorable location. After all, His Majesty the King is surrounded by English aristocrats all day long, which is a great advantage.

Moreover, the Scottish nobles have just migrated here, and they are not familiar with the place of life.

However, the Scottish aristocrats occupy the majority of the people. There are at least a few hundred aristocrats, while the English aristocrats are only a few dozen. The gap is too big.

But generally speaking, the power of the two factions of nobles is still balanced, and His Majesty the King is also willing to fight between the two factions, so as to benefit from it.

The Duke's words hit Edward's point directly.
