My British Empire

ps: Ask for tickets, ask for recommendations

In the end, our Lord Earl nodded in agreement in desperation, and the atmosphere of the whole banquet suddenly condensed in an instant.

There was nothing wrong with the priests, they ate and drank as usual, as if they hadn't heard anything, their expressions remained the same.

But the nobles were different, stunned, surprised, even angry, and so on.

It's no wonder that apart from the Earl of Arran who is far away in Edinburgh, the current Earl of Argyle is the best representative of the nobility, and he needs to pay attention to his words and deeds.

But fortunately, most people knew what kind of place this was, and they were suffocating. As for those who had a bad temper, they had already been pressed down by their companions.

This— A young nobleman at the corner just wanted to stand up, but a friend beside him held him down, making him unable to break free.

Patience! Looking back, the friend had an anxious look on his face, Don't you know? Last year, a fool was impulsively killed and buried alive. I don't want to attend your funeral!

As he spoke, he seemed to think of the unlucky ghost who was buried alive last year, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Hearing what his friend said, the complexion on the nobleman's face was beyond words, and he could only sit down silently in desperation.

Turning around, Earl Argyle had a solemn expression on his face and lowered eyelids, as if he was thinking about something.

But Edward still looked at it with a smile, as if waiting for the good news, but, as time went by, his smile became colder and colder!

Of course our Lord Earl knew this. The moment Edward's face turned cold, he raised his head with a bright smile.

Of course, my lord! Earl Argyle said respectfully, leaning slightly.

You are not only the king of Scotland, but also the representative of the world. It is our duty to obey your orders!

Although Earl Argyle's flattery was very low, Edward nodded with satisfaction and smiled happily when he heard it in Edward's ears.

Since everyone hopes for peace so much, from today onwards, there will be no more wars in Scotland. May the Lord bless Scotland!

There was a hint of a smile in Edward's eyes, and then he cast his eyes very forcefully on the rest of the nobles sitting upright, and blessed loudly.

May the Lord bless Scotland!

The nobles and bishops also stood up in unison, bowing their heads and praying loudly.

The nobles of Scotland have finally accepted the reality - Edward thought with relief.

Next, even though Edward took the Earl of Argyle, the Earl of Lannox, Archbishop David Beaton, and Bishop Blanche out to discuss matters, the atmosphere in the hall was still silent, too quiet.

Here, Edward came to another small tent with representatives of the nobles and the church, and started a discussion, which was a discussion that would determine the next ten years of Scotland.

Your Excellency, since you have agreed to shake hands with the church and ask for peace, then just say what you want!

Edward was the first to sit on the main seat, and then glanced at everyone who followed, and finally set his sights on Earl Argyle.

Your Majesty, although we are willing to reconcile with the church, we have already spent a lot of money and material resources in order to protect the faith of our Lord, and we need the church to make up for it one by one!

Earl Argyle glanced at Edward lightly, and then immediately turned his gaze to Bishop Blanche, who looked radiant.

Your Excellency, what is the condition?

This— Bishop Blanche glanced at Edward on the main seat first, and then said decisively after seeing him blink slightly.

Of course, these are our faults, and we should pay for them!

Hearing this, Earl Argyle had a hint of joy on his face, waiting for the second half of his sentence.

However, we can offer up to 10,000 pounds as compensation. The recent war has exhausted our savings. This is the only money we have left!

As he said that, Bishop Blanche showed a bitter smile, as much aggrieved as he wanted.

The faces of the Earl of Argyll, the Earl of Lannox, and Bishop Beeton immediately turned blue, which was extremely ugly.

Hehe! My lord bishop, your sincerity makes me unacceptable!

When Argyle heard such a small number, his heart was immediately filled with anger.

Just his own family, because of this war, has consumed close to 5,000 pounds. This does not include the manpower summoned. The church property that was swallowed up has been completely vomited out, and a lot of losses have been paid.

Seeing this, Edward interjected very calmly.

Your Excellency, if you don't have any gold coins, then let them sell some religious assets!

Yes, Your Majesty! Bishop Blanche agreed with some grievances.

Then, transfer the three floors of the teaching property to the nobles as compensation, and I will get the other three floors, and you can keep the remaining four floors!

Edward pretended to think about it, and then said loudly.

The nobleman on the side gritted his teeth with hatred, but he still had a calm look on his face.

No wonder they were like this. In the agreement between Edward and them last year, the seventh floor belonged to them, and the third floor belonged to the king.

But this time, the seventh floor became three floors, and the remaining four floors were still in the hands of the church. Although they had seized some land before, these three floors still could not satisfy them.

Next, several nobles and Bishop Blanche made a detailed division of the three tiers of religious property, including land and shops.

After that, Edward made the following agreement with the three nobles and a bishop!

Article 1: All the nobles of Scotland and the people of Scotland unconditionally accept the descendants of His Majesty Edward VI and Mary as heirs to the throne, and pledge allegiance to their designated heirs to the throne...

This is to reaffirm the royal succession, as well as Edward's own legal rights.

2nd Article: Your Majesty Edward and Mary have the power to appoint bishops throughout Scotland, and shall not accept orders from Rome or anyone else...

(This article is to take the religious power of various places back into the royal power and strengthen the control over the church)

Third: Any case involving an amount of ten shillings or more must be submitted to the royal court established by His Majesty the King for trial, and no one may interfere or obstruct...

(This article is to follow the example of Henry VII, starting with the judiciary, gradually transferring the rights in the hands of the nobles, and making it easier to accept!)

Fourth: Scotland will no longer accept any teachings and metaphors from Rome, and will fully support the teachings of Anglicanism, return to the true embrace of our Lord, and determine His Majesty Edward and His Majesty Mary as the only leaders, extending to other Heir……

Fifth: Any person or organization against the royal family shall not appear in Scotland, and those who violate it will be charged with treason...

Sixth: Nobles, churches, and even individuals are not allowed to have private soldiers exceeding the following regulations, and noble private soldiers are not allowed to own flames and crossbows. Violators will be punished with treason

Earl: Five hundred men,

Viscount: 300 people

Barons: two hundred

Jazz, Cavaliers: less than 100 players

Individual: less than 50 people

(Scotland’s standards are much happier and more relaxed than those of England’s nobles, and the nobles hesitated for a while before agreeing. The main reason is that they usually don’t have that much money to maintain these regulations. number.)

Seventh: Scotland establishes a national army. The army personnel come from various nobles. Each noble needs to hand over half of his private soldiers to the country, and the leader is the King of Scotland. The military expenditure only needs to be half.

Eighth: All nobles should and must live in London for six months and attend four meetings of the House of Lords. If the standards are not met, they will be fined, and if they are serious, their titles will be reduced.

Ninth: Scottish nobles only need to pay half of the tax of ordinary people, but they must be loyal to His Majesty the King.

Tenth: Scottish merchants enjoy the same standards as ordinary Englishmen for their goods entering and leaving England without paying customs duties.

Eleventh: Scotland no longer uses Latin, but English.

Twelfth: Scotland no longer adopts its own currency and weights and measures, but adopts the same standards as England.

Thirteenth: No one in Scotland may insult His Majesty the King, or damage the reputation of the King, and offenders shall be punished accordingly.

Fourteenth: The Scottish nobles should follow the tradition, obey the king's orders when they should, and dispatch the necessary troops to follow and help.

Fifteenth: Any nobleman must go to the Bureau of Heralds to register. Noblemen who have not registered will not be recognized.
