My British Empire

Chapter 38 Marriage Invitation

After the two left, Edward couldn't wait to open the letter. I saw it written above:

"Your Majesty the King! Please forgive me for taking so long to write to you!"

"Since you left Windsor Castle, there have been waves in London."

It was not until late at night that Guy had time to write a letter to his lord.

Spreading out the newly bought white paper and quill pen, Guy sat on the chair and wrote silently by the small oil lamp he bought yesterday.

"The Duke of Somerset discussed with the ministers of the Regency Council and passed the decision to expand the reform!"

"After that, His Excellency the Duke gave full play to his eloquence and gave a lobbying speech in the House of Lords first!"

"Of course, even if the Duke is dumb, I think the House of Lords will pass his bill! Members will not try the power of kingship!" Gay's writing is full of ridicule for those nobles, even as a Once a member of the gentlemen, he was not stingy with ridiculing them, and his strength was far greater than that of the nobles.

"How can the entourage of the House of Commons resist the decision of the noble lord of the House of Lords?"

"Even though they pretended to be negotiating, they spent a long time discussing, trying to prove that they represent the interests of the majority of the people of England!" Gay's ridicule was so sharp that he directly lifted the veil of the parliament.

"In fact, on the contrary, they enjoy the privileges of being MPs and agree with the decision of the House of Lords!"

"The House of Lords spent half an hour voting, while the House of Commons spent an afternoon discussing. In fact, the decisions of the two are exactly the same!" Guy found that his letter was full of views on the members of Congress. with personal factors.

After thinking about it, Guy decided not to make any amendments. The rights of His Majesty the King no longer need to be guaranteed by Congress, and a strong royal power is the foundation of England's strength.

Seeing this, Edward couldn't help but feel very relieved. Finally, he saw a supporter of royal power. At the end of the Middle Ages, the era of royal power is coming, and all things that prevent it from becoming stronger will eventually be destroyed.

Thinking of this, Edward couldn't help but suddenly became more willing to reform the parliament. He didn't want to be that trash of Charles I.

Edward continued to read.

"So far, the Duke of Somerset has abolished the "Treason Law", "Heretic Law", and "Six Articles of Faith" established by the previous king have all been abolished!"

In fact, Edward already knew his uncle's determination to repeal the three statutes.

On the night before going to Windsor Manor, the whole castle was full of noise.

The servants and maids have been in Windsor Castle for a long time. Unlike Henry VIII, Edward likes to wander around all year. He likes to be a quiet and handsome man.

So when Edward announced that he was moving to Windsor Manor, the maids hurriedly packed the travel packages, the male servants prepared the tools for the trip, and prepared saddles and horse food for the horses.

Edward let them prepare. As a king, he just needs to read quietly.

"Your Majesty the King! The Duke of Somerset please see me!" Lucy whispered after saluting Edward.

After Edward closed the book, he nodded slightly, and Lucy went out to bring the Duke of Somerset in.

"My dear uncle, I haven't seen you for a few days, you look even more radiant and charming!" Edward took the initiative to greet the Duke when he saw the Duke coming in.

"Oh! My little Edward, how is your physical condition?" His Excellency the Duke was concerned about Edward's body with an affectionate look.

"It's okay! My body is getting better and better, and your concern has made me feel better!" Edward joked.

"Haha! Little Edward, you are getting more and more humorous!" the Duke laughed.

"I don't know what's the matter with you coming to my place, uncle?" Edward asked the Duke of Somerset with a simple face, which seemed to fit the characteristics that a child should have.

"Edward, I came here for the future of England!"

"Speak, my dear uncle!" Edward lay on the chair with an indifferent face, without the posture of a king. The enthusiasm at the beginning is gone.

"I think some decrees of the former king need to be improved, so that the true glory of God can shine on England!" His Excellency the Duke seemed to have gotten used to Edward's lazy look, and he still said without changing his face.

"For example?" Edward asked lazily, looking like he needed a beating.

"For example, like the "Treason Law", "Heretic Law", and "Six Tenets Law", etc." Although the Duke was surprised by Edward's unreasonable playing of cards, he still reacted to his self-cultivation as an old-fashioned politician.

"Yes! You can dispose of them as you like!" Edward heard this, and immediately straightened his sitting posture, and became serious.

In fact, at present, Edward’s uncle, the Duke of Seymour’s reforms are still in line with Edward’s interests. The gradual development of religious reforms complements the strength of the Tudor kingship. It was not until the later period of Elizabeth I that the power of the capitalists continued to grow, and the religious reform was reduced to a tool for them to seek political needs.

After Edward agreed to this matter, the two started a happy relative banquet together. That night, the guests and the host broke up the banquet happily, and both of them got a release of their acting skills.

In fact, Duke Seymour not only got Edward's permission, but also got Edward's promise that he would always support his reforms, saving him a lot of time.

Edward came back to his senses, and then read the letter written by Captain Guy.

"And the task you entrusted to me to take in orphans has almost been completed! There are no more orphans in London!"

"And we took in a total of 1,568 people, 660 girls and 908 boys!"

"Among them, there are one thousand one hundred and thirty people under the age of ten, and four hundred and thirty-eight people between the ages of ten and fourteen!"

"Thanks to God's blessing, and your Majesty's support, we have recruited thirty-one down-and-out gentlemen to join us!"

"Of course, I still want to listen to your instructions this time. How will you deal with these children?"

"They've almost run out of food from Windsor Castle, and it's only enough for them for a week now!

— Yours truly, Guy Ham"

Edward seemed to see his helplessness and complaints about those orphans from the letter. Edward could only ask Windsor Manor to send 3,000 bushels of rye, which was equivalent to 219,000 catties of rye, enough for more than a thousand people. Open your stomach and eat the first half of the year.

After reading this, Edward stretched his waist greatly. He was exhausted. He looked up at the big clock. The hour hand had already pointed to eight o'clock, and an hour and a half had passed.

"Your Majesty, Queen Catherine has sent you an invitation letter!" Lucy's crisp voice sounded.

"Bring it!" Edward said helplessly when he heard the letter from Queen Catherine.

"What? A wedding invitation!" Edward opened it, and suddenly let out a voice in surprise.
