My British Empire

Soon, the news that the proposal was passed quickly reached the Whitehall Palace, and then it reached Edward's ears.

After hearing the news, the corners of Edward's mouth could not help but curl up slightly, and the atmosphere in the whole room suddenly relaxed.

And the little maid Lucy standing beside her couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Since he woke up in the morning, His Majesty the King has been keeping a straight face, as if he should not be approached by strangers. Not only the other servants, but even her personal maid, is frightened, for fear that the king will lose his temper.

Companion to a king is like a tiger. In front of the most powerful king in England, even if he is just a joke, he can let you go to God, and you have nothing to say.

Seeing His Majesty's complexion, all the servants in the palace were extremely cautious, for fear of offending His Majesty the King.

Therefore, the entire palace was very quiet, unusually quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the chirping of birds outside the window.

However, the Queen Mother Mary and Queen Mary have been staying in Windsor Castle and refused to come to London for various reasons. The same is true for Princess Elizabeth and Princess Mary. They are both in Windsor Castle at this time, leaving His Majesty alone Whitehall Palace.

His Majesty's smile made Lucy feel a lot lighter on her shoulders, and the whole room was much brighter, and she immediately relaxed her mood.

Lucy bent over, showed a sweet smile, added hot water to His Majesty's teacup, and presented a seductive tease in front of Edward.

Edward glanced at it, narrowed his eyes slightly, and returned to reading after Lucy finished.

Lucy didn't realize that His Majesty the King was taking advantage of her, but doubts arose in her heart at this moment.

Lucy studied the question of why His Majesty the King likes to drink tea for a long time, and she even tasted it herself, but it turned out that a bitter taste penetrated her tongue, and her whole mouth was filled with this green bitter taste.

This made Lucy regret it in her heart, the smell was too painful, it was simply the poisonous water from hell.

This made Lucy even more curious. She couldn't figure out why His Majesty the King liked to drink this.

As the saying goes, what is good at the top will be effective at the bottom!

His Majesty the King likes to drink tea. In order to establish a good relationship with His Majesty the King, you must do what you like and learn how to drink tea.

As a result, the nobles went to drink tea one after another and never returned, all kinds of bitterness and sadness are simply indescribable.

Historically, the English still liked drinking tea until the establishment of the East India Company. In order to obtain better benefits, the East India Company spent a lot of time and money to cultivate the habit of drinking tea among the British.

After hundreds of years, the British finally fell in love with tea, and afternoon tea has become a British culture.

However, when they drink tea, they also add some milk spices and so on. They never drink tea directly, which directly kills these nobles.

As a result, the price of honey in England has been skyrocketing, making the merchants a fortune.

Of course, Edward didn't know this, he just wanted to shout in his heart at this moment: England, I will finally conquer you

The largest type of taxation in England is permanently in his hands, so the taxation power of the Lower Parliament has lost the largest piece of territory.

The most essential part has been taken down, so the rest is not enough to rely on, it can be fried and braised slowly, he is not in a hurry, this matter can be done slowly.

It wasn't just Edward who was waiting for this result. At this time, the master of the Anglican sect in England, Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, was also quietly waiting for this result.

Bishop Thomas had not attended a meeting of the Privy Council since the fall of Warwick, nor had he answered Edward's call to the House of Lords.

Yes, at this time the number of the House of Lords is not regulated. As long as His Majesty the King looks at you and calls you, you can join the House of Lords. It can be said that the House of Lords is basically the seal of the king. Whenever the king needs anything, The House of Lords hastily passed the proposal, much more efficiently than the House of Commons.

Not attending the House of Lords does not mean that Bishop Thomas does not care about this parliamentary meeting.

And the Archbishop of York, another Anglican in England, second only to the position of the Archbishop of Canterbury, he was also on the sidelines, waiting quietly with Bishop Thomas.

He did not go to the king's call this time either, on the pretext that he was not in good health and could not serve the king.

As the two supreme powers of the Anglican sect, they are the biggest bishops in the church when the king is not in charge.

And the two of them are also the promoters of the religious reform, and have been assisting the king in the church to carry out reforms.

They don't know what kind of proposals will be held in the House of Commons this time, but their instincts tell themselves that today is different.

Sure enough, the servant sent a message, the most important one is - the subsidy is permanent.

Hearing this news, the two bishops couldn't help being startled. They sat on chairs with bitter faces and looked at each other.

"It seems that what you said is right, this His Majesty the king is really a different character from the previous king! It is really an eye-opener!"

The Bishop of York looked older, with thinning hair, thick bags under the eyes, and age spots on his face that seemed to speak of his age.

Regarding this news, he couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile, and said to Bishop Thomas.

"Yes! When he used the Earl of Warwick to drive out the Duke of Somerset, and then took the opportunity to drive the Earl of Warwick out of court, I thought he was another Henry VIII!"

"And when I saw that he abolished the London Self-Government Council and established the London Municipal Government, I realized that he was still different from the previous king!"

When Bishop Thomas picked up the words, he also smiled helplessly, exclaiming with an unexpected expression.

"Compared with the previous king, he is less domineering and more gentle and compromised!"

The Archbishop of York breathed a sigh of relief, looked in the direction of Whitehall Palace, and continued.

"If it was His Majesty Henry VIII, he would not give conditions in exchange, but would only use rights and death to make the MPs nod in agreement!"

Bishop Thomas recalled for a moment, comparing Henry VIII with the current situation.

"It is precisely seeing this young His Majesty who knows how to exchange and compromise, which makes the congressmen have expectations in their hearts. They understand that if there is one, there will be two!"

"We can get these things through this peaceful way today, and we may get more tomorrow. After all, not everyone is not afraid of death!"

After Bishop Thomas heard Bishop York's words, he stood up, opened the half-covered curtains, and bathed in the sunlight.

"England's new age has come, and I don't know whether it will die or be reborn!"
