Edward excitedly sent people to walk the streets and alleys to post notices announcing that the "Three Chapters of the Law" had been gone, and ordered the army to strictly prohibit looting. However, in order to appease the army, Edward took out a large amount of money from Henry VII's treasury to reward the soldiers.

Edward was not a greedy and brainless man, at least, he knew that as long as he sat firmly on the throne, he would have a lot of money in the future. In particular, he decided to kill the great nobles who followed Henry VII and confiscate their wealth. So, he won't be short of money. You must know that the sum of the money in the families of those big nobles is not necessarily less than that of the treasury. What's more, those fiefdom manors are the real big heads.

The soldiers were rewarded, and naturally there were no complaints. What's more, this army is mainly Marin's army, and there is no tradition of robbery, and there is no resistance to not allowing robbery. The 3,000 German mercenaries hired from Münster were sorry that they were not able to loot in London. However, Marin didn't let his men rob it, and Edward didn't let him rob it. So, after receiving the bounty, I didn't say anything.

However, a few days passed, and to the embarrassment of both Edward and Marlin, the citizens of London did not seem to be very interested in the "Three Chapters of the Law......

In fact, this is also the reason why Marin does not know much about British history. As early as 1215, the famous Magna Carta appeared in England, which put forward the concept of "legal system". Therefore, Edward's "Three Chapters of the Covenant" is actually not news.

In addition, in the United Kingdom, general statutes are issued through Parliament. Therefore, everyone is not very interested in Edward's private enactment of the law. As a result, both Marin and Edward were embarrassed......

"This ...... Your Majesty...... It seems that this 'Three Chapters of the Law' is a bit similar to the Magna Carta......" Marin said embarrassedly.

"No, Grand Duke Marin, you are wrong!" Edward said earnestly:

"The Magna Carta, strictly speaking, was the product of the aristocracy's persecution of the king, which undermined the authority of the king. Therefore, I must insist on the 'Three Chapters of the Covenant', so that people will forget the Magna Carta and agree with the 'Three Chapters of the Covenant', so that my rule will be ......."

Marin was relieved, it seemed that Edward was still very sober. He knew that Magna Carta was a challenge to royal power. In fact, both Henry VII and Henry VIII were monarchs who held the royal power very tightly. In the 15th and 16th centuries, there was little mention of Magna Carta. However, the tradition of the king issuing decrees through parliament has been preserved.

However, Edward had been in France and knew that France acted according to the will of the monarch and was not restricted, which made him envious. Therefore, Edward wanted to take advantage of the "Three Chapters of the Law" to bypass Parliament and issue decrees on his own, becoming an autocratic monarch, just like the king of France.

Marin thought for a moment and said:

"If this is the case, then, Your Majesty, you order, to arrest all the councilors!"

"Arrest all the councillors? Are you trying to kill all the councillors? With what excuses? Edward said in surprise.

"Excuses? It's easy to find! Your Majesty, you forgot? When the puppet king Henry ascended the throne, the noble councillors put Henry. Tudor welcomed Joshua as the second to save the people from the tyrant, and soon passed a decree proclaiming the throne of England by Henry. Tudor and his descendants have been passed down from generation to generation......"

"What do you mean......"

"There are two points, first, Henry. Tudor was a regre, and the members of the House of Lords supported him as king, which was tantamount to identifying with regocide. This is enough to sentence the person who participated in it to death! ”

"The second point, Henry. Tudor was the Duke of Lancaster, John. Descendants of Beaufort. But by order of His Majesty Henry IV, John. Beaufort's descendants did not have the right to the throne at all. And the House of Lords of Parliament proclaimed the throne of England by Henry. Tudor and his descendants have been passed down from generation to generation, and it is a collective offense! So, Your Majesty can collectively arrest all the members of the House of Lords! And, this, you must issue a decree to declare, openly bloody parliament according to law! Marin said one last word.

It is a rare opportunity to find a legal basis to wash parliament in blood, and it must not be missed. And, according to what Edward just said, he also wanted to get out of the control of Parliament. Therefore, it is better to use their support for Henry VII, the regretor, as an excuse to wash away the parliament in blood.

Edward was very impressed, but asked hesitantly:

"So, who will I rely on to rule the country in the future?"

Marin thought about it, and suddenly remembered a method in the officialdom of later generations - whatever my predecessor didn't like and didn't reuse, as long as there was no big problem, I would reuse it; And what the ex likes is derogatory...... In this way, you can take control of the situation as quickly as possible and erase the traces of your predecessor......

To be honest, this practice is rather unscientific. This is because this is a very irresponsible approach, which is easy to cause "change of order at the moment", which is harmful to the stability of the policy. However, it depends on what it is used for.

Edward now killed Henry VII to take the throne, using the brutal method of "the enemy of the enemy is a friend", but it was the fastest and easiest to control the situation.

So, Marin and Edward explained. Naturally, Edward does not have the worry of "whether the order will change overnight", he is only worried about whether he can sit on the throne. So, he did not hesitate to take Marin's suggestion.

In this way, Edward, on the one hand, ordered the army to arrest all the nobles who "broke the law", and on the other hand, sent people everywhere to inquire about those nobles who did not deal with Henry VII or were not taken seriously......

The Tower of London is a great place where kings have built a large number of prisons. Therefore, it is completely sufficient to imprison the members of the House of Lords.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Henry VII also bloodied a large number of Yorkist nobles back then. Therefore, the number of lawmakers arrested this time is only a few dozen.

Moreover, among them, there were ten members of the House of Lords who immediately curried favor with Edward. Edward saw that none of them were Henry VII's cronies, and had nothing to do with the incident that supported Henry VII back then, so he let them go, and according to the principle of "if the predecessor didn't like it and didn't use it, I will reuse it", he chose to accept these 10 aristocratic councillors who were marginalized in the House of Lords.

In addition, Edward retained Henry VII's "Privy Council" system, which was used to replace the parliament that restricted the king. Of course, who the Privy Council appointed, Edward had not yet decided.

However, these did not help to promote the "Three Chapters of the Covenant" and establish the authority of the new king...... So, Edward asked Marlin if there was a way to solve it, so that the people could accept the new decree at once......

Ma Lin thought for a long time, and suddenly remembered Brother Shang Ying, who was torn apart by the car......

"There is a solution, and it works quickly......"

"Tell me about it!" Edward was intrigued.

In fact, neither Marlin nor Edward cared much about the specific content of the "Three Chapters of the Law". All they cared about was how to use the law to legally kill Henry VII and his lackeys and cut them down. After all, after the implementation of the "Three Chapters of the Covenant", a new bill on sanctions for the murderer of kings and his accomplices will definitely be announced. Therefore, as the first shot, this "Three Chapters of the Covenant" must be fired first. After that, a new law on how to deal with the monarch killer will be enacted......

Marin cleared his throat and said:

"This method is called 'standing wood for faith'...... Talking about the Chinese ...... more than 1850 years ago"

"Stop...... Why are they all so old stories? At that time, ancient Rome had not yet occupied LinkedIn Gran......" said Edward, somewhat devastated with some collapse.

"Ancient China is such a bull comparison...... "Ma Lin said innocently.

"Okay, you go ahead ......"

"A kingdom called Qin, and it wants to change the decree ......," Marin gushed.

"Yes, that's the theme, it's very similar to my current situation!" Edward said happily.

Shang Ying, who presided over the formulation of the new law, was afraid that the people would not believe in his new law, so he came up with an idea - he had people erect a three-zhang ...... outside the south gate of the national capital bazaar Well, 32 feet of wood, and announced in public that whoever could carry this piece of wood to the north gate of the bazaar would be rewarded with ten taels of gold...... Well, that's what 13 ounces of gold look like......"

"The north gate of the south gate of the bazaar? Is it far away? Also, why at the bazaar? Edward asked curiously.

"It's not far, maybe a few hundred steps. The reason why I am in the market is because there are many people in the market, and word of mouth spreads it, so it is more convenient to publicize the law......"

"Makes sense...... Only a few hundred steps, you can be rewarded with 13 ounces of gold, and there are more than 100 gold coins, so many people must be rushing to move, right? Edward asked with interest.

"No, Your Majesty, you are wrong. In the beginning, no people were willing to try. Instead, they think — this is crazy, isn't it? It's unbelievable to carry a log and walk a few hundred steps to reward more than 100 gold coins......"

"Haha, I thought it was incredible when I heard it. And then what? ”

"Shang Ying raised the bounty from 100 gold to 500 gold coins, but no one tried it...... Later, a common man carried the wood with the mentality of trying it out, and then, sure enough, he was rewarded with 500 gold coins......"

"This commoner got 500 gold coins at once, and he really made a fortune...... Edward sighed.

"Your Majesty, these are secondary. The important thing is that Shang Ying, through this incident, makes people think that he is a man of his word. After that, whatever he said and what decrees he issued, everyone believed it......"

"Huh?" Edward thought for a moment, then it dawned on him. Then he cried out with joy:

"I also want to 'stand on a tree for faith,' and go and tear down a pillar from the palace and carry it to the bazaar......

"......" Ma Lin was stunned for a moment, if you want to "stand up for the letter", why do you want to tear down the pillars of the palace?
