Your Mightiness

"How old is the Queen, how does she know what she is willing or not?" August tried to comfort his little cousin, "All this is the Queen Mother's idea."

August is really not very good at comforting people, so he can only pick up nice words, at least to convince his cousin that he is not that bad.

However, after a few words, August stopped talking.

On the contrary, the newly appointed Duke of Somerset who was also at the banquet, that is, the king's uncle was very good at comforting people, and said a lot of words, and every sentence touched the heart of the little king, making him smile.

August had no comment on this.

Although August didn't like the Seymour brothers, they were real family members of Richard III. He couldn't ask his cousin to stay away from his cousin's relatives, could he?And how should I put it, this brother Seymour does have a few brushes.

You know, when Richard II was still alive, it was inevitable that his relatives had taught his heir badly. Richard II was very disgusted that the Seymour family had frequent contact with the crown prince.He allowed the Seymour family to send counselors and property to the crown prince, but firmly forbade the Seymour brothers to stay with the crown prince for a long time.In other words, before the death of the late king, the brothers Seymour and Richard III were actually very strangers.Brother Seymour was able to get acquainted with Richard III in such a short period of time, which shows his extraordinary ability.

As long as the other party has no bad intentions, August does not intend to prevent this person who can make Richard III happy from getting close to the king.

The Archbishop of Camberley frowned obviously. If his attitude towards Brother Seymour was dispensable before, then after the relationship between Brother Seymour and the little king suddenly emerged, he began to dislike Brother Seymour. .

The reason is simple, the Seymour brothers had a very bad influence on the king.

August is too busy recently to know, but the Archbishop of Camberley is very aware of how the Seymour brothers approached and flattered the king. In fact, there is no technical content, and it is very simple and rude - nepotism, more pocket money, and help He skipped class as a cover.

Nepotism refers to the Queen Mother Catherine, who has been very close to Brother Seymour recently, and has an ambiguous relationship.Brother Seymour did the cover for truancy, and it was the younger brother Seymour who gave extra pocket money.

And, yes, what they do is such a simple, childish thing to play with, but it works enough that the king is a child.

Unlike August, who used to be a fake child, Richard III is a real child, soft-hearted and easy to coax. When August and others have no time to accompany him because they are busy with national affairs, he naturally He got close to other people who were free and patient enough to coax him to play.Moreover, a child does not have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Although he knows that he must study hard to govern the country well, he will inevitably hate those who keep oppressing him to study, and get close to those who blindly indulge him to enjoy fun.

The only thing that makes the little king better than ordinary kids is that he doesn't order absurdly to drag out the professor who is strict with him and behead him.

August can also understand the little cousin's little indulgence after getting tired of studying, because even he doesn't like studying very much.Occasionally skipping classes for it can be regarded as relaxing and entertaining.How did you say that sentence?A student life is incomplete without skipping classes.

It was inevitable that the Archbishop of Camberley and the Duke of Somerset had a quarrel in front of the king, and August took the initiative to change the subject: "Do you know where the Queen Mother of Scotland sent the Queen?"

"There are two guesses now." The Archbishop of Camberley was only August's intention and was willing to cooperate. He shared as much information as he knew with August with August. "One theory is that Scotland The queen mother who was born in France hooked up with the former prince in exile in France; the second theory is that Scotland sent a lot of wealth to the royal family of Aragon."

The Queen Mother of Scotland's father was an important minister of France, a royalist.Both Scotland and Aragon are very devout Catholic countries.

Oh shit.August thought in his heart, he really would choose, they are all people who are currently feuding with England, and they will basically not sell Scotland backhand.

"Speaking of which, why did Scotland suddenly go back on its word? There must be a trigger, right?" Has any big country contacted the Queen Mother of Scotland and promised her benefits, or did they push her for something?

August always felt that the other party made such a sudden decision without reason.

Raphael finally arrived belatedly. He went outside to inspect the work today, even if he came back as fast as he got the news, he was the slowest one.

After entering the door, Raphael naturally added a chair between August and the Black Prince.Before he could sit still, he sneered at the Archbishop of Camberley and the Duke of Somerset, and then answered August: "It's not because Richard, that idiot, ordered the Queen of Scots to be taken secretly before his death." England to be educated."

Raphael has a particularly graceful magical skill of swearing even when he is swearing.

"Cough." Richard III and August coughed together, no matter how stupid the former king was, he couldn't say it directly.

Raphael didn't take it seriously, why can't idiots say it?He died for a reason?What about logic? "Scotland felt that England was robbing, so it naturally exploded."

It can only be said that everyone still underestimated Richard II's ability to make things happen, even if he died, he would not stop.

"Then what should we do?" As soon as Raphael came, August's IQ returned to the state of a primary school student, and he habitually handed over the work of thinking to Raphael. Raphael thought of the best way, so why would he bother?

The black prince, who had been silent all this time, finally took a different action. He looked back and forth between his son and Raphael suspiciously.

"Queen! Some people don't know how to flatter, and we have a lot of good girls in England!" said the Duke of Somerset.

"Of course we want to get the queen back!" Archbishop Camberley put forward the opposite proposition.

The two uttered their voices almost at the same time, and glared at each other unanimously after speaking, both felt that the other party who proposed that stupid idea was an idiot.

The Duke of Somerset's tone seemed to be simply saying that he was not worth it for the little king.

The Archbishop of Camberley has a more overall view, starting from the wishes of Richard II.Yes, Richard II, the Archbishop of Camberley was an anomaly at a time when the whole world didn't think Richard II was a good king.He is almost half a fan of Richard II. He has always been very grateful to Richard II for his strong support in Protestantism, and he feels a bit like dying for his confidant.No matter how many mistakes Richard II made, the king would never be wrong in the eyes of the archbishop. If he failed, he could only blame others and fate. It was not Richard II's fault anyway.

The Black Prince finally got angry, and with a snap, he threw the parchment document in his hand onto the table.

He first scolded the Duke of Somerset: "What are you looking for? How old is the king? Are you trying to educate the king to be a fool who only indulges in women?!"

The Duke of Somerset panicked immediately when the big hat was put on. He dared to make a fuss with Augustus, but he definitely didn't dare to provoke the Black Prince.

Before the Archbishop of Camberley was satisfied, the Black Prince scolded him too: "What are you looking for?! A queen of Scotland, is it amazing?"

The Black Prince had no time to think about his son's affairs, so he made a decisive decision: "Shoot Scotland directly!"

When Richard II was making troubles, the Black Prince was not around, otherwise it is estimated that this short and absurd engagement would not have happened.The logic of the black prince is very straightforward - why should a country that can be defeated directly make so much trouble?

If anyone says this, everyone will always have all kinds of words waiting for him, how to fight?Do you say that if you shoot it down, you will shoot it down?Look at what you can, why don't you go to heaven?

But the person who said this was the Black Prince, and everyone's reaction was left: Well, after taking over Scotland, should we send a governor there, or should we completely Englandize like annexing Wales?Ah, it’s so hard to choose. Sending the governor there can solve the problem of the surplus of royal heirs in the country. It’s like giving Miss Elizabeth a queen, and she will stop; but the temptation to annex Scotland is also great...

The Black Prince sat firmly on the side, he was only interested in fighting, and the other parts should be handled by capable people, such as Raphael.

"I have a good reason to send troops. It's more face-saving than refusing to marry." Raphael was the worst one in the audience. In fact, this was what he suggested to Richard II, but Richard II didn't agree. Knowing what to think, he insisted that it would be more appropriate to find a queen for his son.

"Tell me." It's not without reason that the Black Prince likes the younger brother Raphael.

"Salik's Law of Inheritance." Raphael spat out a term that almost everyone in medieval Europe knew.

The Salic Inheritance Law, also known as the Salic Code, as the name suggests, was compiled by the Salic nation of France and later compiled by the King of France.

Due to the power of Charlemagne's Empire, which was once prosperous in France, almost half of the royal families in Europe are using this inheritance law.England and Scotland are no exception, but there will be some changes. For example, women also have the right to inherit, and there will be absolutely no such accommodation in France.

The Black Prince's face darkened in an instant. He was not able to inherit the throne of France because of the damn Salic succession law.

The Salic Inheritance Law strictly stipulates that women have no inheritance rights. Of course, the king of France also slightly modified it later, such as making women unable to inherit, and changing it to a daughter who can inherit if the deceased has no other male heirs. of.This is how England allowed women to inherit the throne.But France feels that this can only be used on ordinary nobles, and the royal family cannot be generalized.

Scotland was still a loyal supporter of the Salic succession law until Queen Mary, who is only a few years old now, was crowned king by her mother when she was in her infancy.

But Queen Mary was able to ascend the throne, and she only complied with half of the Salik inheritance law.There are many articles that can be done here.

"If it goes well, our king can even use the inheritance law to drive the queen off the throne and inherit Scotland directly." Today's English royal family and the Scottish royal family are actually related, not too far away.

On this point, Raphael had to praise Richard II for insisting on a male heir. It wasn't that he preferred sons to daughters, but that it was easier for male kings to take advantage of loopholes in various succession laws.

The black prince laughed, gearing up, he was humiliated by this bill back then, and now it's finally his turn to use this bill to deal with others.He happily patted his brother on the shoulder vigorously: "Good job, Yael."

Raphael felt that he was almost being photographed in the seat, but he didn't complain at all. After all, this was his boyfriend's father.

Then, the matter of laying down Scotland was so happily decided.

In fact, the black prince doesn't have any particularly righteous views. His three views are only for those he cares about, such as his son, his relatives, and his subjects.As for the other foreigners, is he so cruel that he can even beat his own cousin? !
