My British Empire

Your Majesty, you must make the decision for us!

Whitehall Palace, on the green grass in the garden, several well-dressed nobles bent their waists, complaining in a low voice to His Majesty Edward, who was wearing simple fine clothes.

But His Majesty the King was neither arrogant nor impetuous, lying on a court-made recliner, pursing his lips, enjoying the warmth and sunshine, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face.

This made the few nobles who complained with painstaking efforts and tears a little stunned, but no matter how lazy His Majesty the King is, it is okay, who called him a king?

Your Majesty, William Selsey sent people directly to my mansion to arrest my innocent servants wantonly, broke into my house, destroyed property and houses, and even prepared to sentence the innocent servants. Lawless!

The leader was a nobleman in his thirties, with long red and black hair hanging loose, facing His Majesty Edward, with a mournful expression on his face, without the elegance and posture of a nobleman.

The same was true for several other nobles, with mournful faces, as if they had been greatly wronged, and shouted one after another.

Your Majesty, I am a majestic baron, and William Selsey has no aristocratic demeanor at all, nor does he care about the dignity of a nobleman! It's really disgusting!

Baron Alster, how did I hear that it was a servant of your family who was arguing with a commoner over a small piece of land, and the commoner was killed by that servant. This is not a trivial matter!

Edward was blowing the wind, enjoying the rare warm weather, lying on the chair, this feeling was extra comfortable, and he gradually felt a little drowsy.

The bloody and tearful accusations of several nobles came to his ears. Edward listened carefully, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he retorted sarcastically:

Human life is not a trivial matter. For the kingdom's laws, it is not just talk!

Hearing that His Majesty the King was very clear about this matter, several nobles trembled unconsciously, and then continued to complain unwillingly.

But, Your Majesty, this is a violation of the dignity of our nobles. This is just a small commoner, how can he be compared with nobles!

Baron Alster heard that, although he was bending over, there was no embarrassment on his face, and he said confidently.

Hearing this, the other two nobles also echoed, saying that the lives of the common people are not as important as the dignity of the nobles.

When did the Scottish nobles learn the oily tone of the English nobles? It's good not to learn, bad to learn!

Hearing this, His Majesty Edward was speechless for a moment, the upright and simple Scottish nobleman before disappeared.

Having said that, the law is arranged in this way. After review by the Supreme United Court, there is no exception in all parts of the United Kingdom, let alone in Scotland!

His Majesty Edward, who came from the 21st century, still attaches great importance to human life, and cannot achieve the attitude of these nobles who regard human life as nothing.

Therefore, Baron William Selsey has nothing to sue for carrying out the case according to what you said!

Since William Selsey resigned as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, he went to Scotland to serve as the ruling party and started the five-year reform and transformation of Scotland.

For this reason, Edward also appointed several Scottish nobles to important positions, just to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

Unexpectedly, the big tiger is gone, but there are many small flies. They come to London to complain every day, which is annoying to death.

From now on, if it's such a trivial matter, don't come to me!

Edward sat up directly, stared at the accusing trio, and said impatiently:

If you are really wronged, you can go directly to the Supreme United Court to sue, or go to the cabinet!

Seeing His Majesty's impatient expression, the three of them immediately lowered their heads and left automatically.

After he left, Edward calmed down and exhaled.

This is the fifth batch this month. It seems that William Selsey is making a lot of noise in Scotland!

His Majesty the King had a smile on his lips, and he was thinking optimistically.

Compared with England, which is intensively carrying out reforms, Wales, which is small and obedient, and Ireland, which has grown from scratch, the conservative forces of the aristocrats in Scotland are deeply rooted, there are too many local free forces, and they are too far away from the center. It's been a while.

And William Selsey, a politician and reformer with rich experience in governing, is exactly the sharp knife he needs to break through the stubborn rock of Scotland in one fell swoop.

Edinburgh, the Consul's House.

To be precise, it should be called the Minister Plenipotentiary of the King and the Governor-General of Scotland, referred to as the Minister of State.

Adjacent to it is the residence of the Lord Duke of Edinburgh, the military governor of Scotland.

Different from the desolation in front of the Duke's door, at this time, the front of the ruling government is full of nobles who are talking about it. Big carts and small cars are parked in front of the door, just to wait to see the ruling lord.

Tell me, what is the situation with the ruling lord? In less than a month, the three nobles were arrested and fined. It's really scary!

Who would know? This lord used to be the prime minister of the cabinet, but now he has come to Scotland. There must be a conspiracy. Let's be careful!

Alas! Since the Earl of Argyle has gone to London, we have had a hard time!

The Scottish aristocrats were dressed in splendid clothes, wearing flowers and strings of feathers, but the content of the discussion was very negative.

Obviously, the arrival of the political reformer William Selsey made this group of lawless Scottish nobles feel heartbroken.

It is impossible to resist, the Duke of Edinburgh's thousands of troops are stationed there, sharpening their knives, waiting for the opportunity to make meritorious service.

Moreover, how can people give up on this comfortable day now?

In the mansion, His Excellency William Selsey was in his forties. He was a majestic middle-aged man. His hair was grizzled due to years of hard work, and his imposing face was full of smiles, so he looked a little Amiable.

Sitting beside him was a nobleman in his thirties who was well-dressed and luxuriously dressed, even looking gaudy, with a frivolous look on his face.

He is the Earl of Lannox, head of the Lannox family, one of the four great Scottish families.

Last time, after the Earl of Argyle stepped down from office, he was supposed to take over as the ruler, but he was too frivolous, greedy for fishing, hunting, entertainment and enjoyment, so it was difficult to convince the public.

That's why William Selsey relied on his qualifications as a former prime minister to suppress him in one fell swoop and become the ruling power of Scotland.

My lord, the tea you sent over is very good! The ruling lord smiled slightly.

As long as you are satisfied! The earl said with a soft smile.
