My British Empire

The nobles in London did not know what His Majesty the King had said to his uncle Baron Thomas Seymour that night, but they were escorted by Baron Smith himself to the court in London the next day.

In the meeting room of the Regency Council, Duke Edward, who had not had a rest all night, sat on the main seat, with two dark circles under his eyes, watching the ministers arriving one after another, and even focused a little more on the Earl of Warwick.

Surprisingly, His Excellency the Earl talked and laughed with the people around him, very energetic.

Seeing the fourteen ministers present, Duke Edward sighed unconsciously, his younger brother really made a fool of himself!

"Okay! Gentlemen! This time, let's study the solution of Baron Thomas Seymour, the Secretary of the Navy and Privy Officer Thomas Seymour!"

The ministers sitting here couldn't understand what Duke Edward meant, and they basically talked about it.

"Gentlemen! It was just last night that Baron Seymour ordered some pirates to attack the aristocratic district. There was a fight in front of the residence of our ruling Duke of Somerset, and almost hurt the ruling Lord!"

"What an accident! It is an accident that disgraces all England!"

"Therefore, I think it should be hanged, so as to make amends for the ruling lord, and to warn the latecomers, this is the end of offending the nobles!"

Although the Earl of Warwick was from a military background and looked rude, he was articulate and expressed his views clearly and accurately.

And the tone was full of consideration for Duke Edward, but in Duke Edward's ears, there was such a strong taste of irony.

The Earl of Boswell, who had always been known as the Duke of Somerset's number one subordinate, couldn't help looking at his Duke Edward.

Seeing Duke Edward nodded slightly, Earl Boswell was relieved, with an expression of comprehension.

"I think what the Earl said is right. Baron Seymour dared to offend the Duke this time. What about next time? I'm afraid even His Majesty Edward will be in danger!"

"So, we want to nip this risk in the bud, and completely dispel some people's bad intentions!"

"And hanging has such a function. I support the Earl of Warwick's point of view! Please think about it carefully, Your Excellency the Duke!"

The Earl of Boswell spoke quickly, and finished in one breath without leaving the ministers any time to think.

"Isn't it too harsh! To deal with a nobleman, I think it's better to deprive him of his title! The dignity of the nobleman still needs to be maintained!"

The old Duke of Holden didn't want his niece to lose another husband, so he couldn't help saying.

"That's right! It's just that a few guards died! You don't need a noble to accompany you! We nobles are so cheap!"

As Catherine's younger brother, William Parr, Marquess of Northampton, still had to protect his brother-in-law, otherwise he would not be able to give his sister an explanation.

Both neutrals spoke out, and another neutral also spoke out in support of Duke Houghton's proposal.

At this time, Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, who had always been a silent bystander, suddenly opened his eyes. After careful observation, the ministers knew that the bishop was about to speak.

"The Earl of Warwick and the Earl of Boswell are right, and the Duke of Houghton and the Marquess of Northampton are also right!"

"God loves the world, and everyone makes mistakes. I think the Lord will forgive this lost lamb!"

After saying this, His Excellency the Bishop sat down and turned into a sculpture again.

After listening to Bishop Thomas' opinion, Duke Edward couldn't help thinking. He didn't expect that he didn't express his opinions very much, and he had to take care of the bishop's feelings.

After Thomas Seymour left, he had only four supporters in the Regency Council, one less than the Earl of Warwick, and it was impossible to drive away such an important supporter as Bishop Thomas.

Let's spare Thomas' life! Keep your good name, and appease those neutrals by the way!

"As for Bishop Thomas' opinion, I think it makes sense. Baron Seymour is not guilty of death! This time, he will be exempted from his title of nobility and fined another five thousand pounds!"

Duke Edward finally expressed his opinion, which was not only unexpected but also expected.

Finally, the Council of Regents passed the punitive measures against Baron Seymour, which then reached the ears of Edward in Whitehall Palace.

None of this was what Edward had expected. He knew that whether Baron Seymour could survive or not, the most important person was Bishop Thomas.

As long as he expresses his position, and the Duke of Horton's group is waving their flags, his uncle will have to think carefully.

Sure enough, it was effective for Edward to do the work of the Bishop overnight. Baron Seymour survived, and he also gained a lot of results.

First of all, the neutral faction headed by Duke Houghton fell to him; then he finally understood the intention of Bishop Thomas, knowing that he was still more supportive of himself; The surrender of the family, he has almost completely mastered the navy of England.

Today's harvest made Edward very happy, which almost paved the way for his pro-government road. As long as the time is not wasted in the future, as expected, after the coup in 1549, his pro-government is a certainty.

With a happy mood, Edward began to run around the garden for fitness. After several years of purposeful exercise, Edward is still a little thinner than ordinary children of the same age.

In order to change the fate of his early death, but also to realize his dream of empire, and even to let his desire to reproduce offspring, so he had to work hard.

Time flies and it is hard to go back, the past can only be recalled! Since Baron Seymour was demoted to common people, on December 30, 1547, Catherine gave birth to her daughter Mary Seymour in Sudeley Castle (Sudeley Castle) in Gloucestershire. Died of puerperal fever or postpartum sepsis as before, and survived smoothly.

And in February 1548, in Edinburgh, which had been facing off for nearly five months, the English army was preparing to withdraw.

"Lord earl! Can't you support me a little bit more! Edinburgh will be captured by us soon!"

The Earl of Wellington and a group of generals were riding on a hill, looking at the broken city wall of Edinburgh not far away, a general couldn't help but said.

"My lord general, I don't want to withdraw my army either! But we all know that the remaining food is only enough for us to go back. If we continue to confront each other for another day, our army will automatically collapse!"

"But……"

"It's nothing, I want to take Edinburgh more than you, but we can't bury these great boys from England into the hands of this Scot!"

After saying this, the Earl of Wellington stopped talking and stared at the walls of Edinburgh in a daze.

Soon the English army withdrew from Edinburgh. It is ridiculous that two months after the withdrawal of England, that is, in April 1548, because Queen Mary was taken away, the French army was two months earlier than in history. Finally arrived in Edinburgh.
