Chapter 235: Suspend Reform

ps: At the beginning of the month, ask for tickets, ask for subscriptions

I saw him stand up angrily, his eyes seemed to erupt with anger, his mouth opened wide when he spoke, and his chin was raised high, and he could almost see his two black holes and big nostrils.

Everyone was shocked by his angry performance for a moment, and then everyone seemed to understand it deeply, and their expressions suddenly realized.

As the most important members of the Privy Council, how could they not know that the local authorities have resisted and delayed the various decrees of the central government.

As President of the Privy Council, Farris. Alexander not only had to send people to communicate with the local counties, but he was also busy writing letters every day.

And in the face of His Majesty's reforms and decrees, which weighed on him like a mountain, he had to devote more energy to triumph with the locality.

Therefore, in the face of the king's duties, Farris's long-term irritability was thrown into the place, so as to reduce the suffering in his heart.

"Your Majesty, please deal with the local officials who resist the central government!"

The more Faris thought about it, the more angry he became, his face turned red, and he bent down directly and saluted Edward.

"Your Majesty, Your Excellency the Speaker is right, and it is indeed time to deal with it!"

Then the former Secretary of State, Dorne. Francis also 'brushed', stood up, and saluted Edward.

As a Privy Council minister who communicated with the circuit court, he knew how erosive the place had been during these three years.

Edward examined the two men for a moment, stopping on their big sincere faces, a thoughtful expression.

"You're right, since 1546 I haven't interfered too much in the local area, and some of the local councils have been in office for a long time!"

"They have been sitting for too long, I'm afraid, some counties have become their basic plates, and they can't even splash water, and they don't care about my orders!"

As soon as Edward was reminded by them, he realized that since he came to power, he had been busy with central reform and Scottish affairs, or the London pilot, and he really didn't have too many scruples about the local area.

Aside from the annual routine evacuation of the Changing of the Guard, there was little intervention, and the English had not felt the majesty of the royal family for a long time.

During the reigns of Henry VII and Henry VIII, one was the founding monarch and the other used war and the Reformation to shape the majesty of the king among the people.

This is true in England, and even in Europe.

The magnitude of the king's prestige determines the amount of the king's power.

Therefore, Edward saw that the central reform was so smooth, and decided to follow the gourd and carry out a local reform.

Now it seems that he was still too naïve.

The central government is nothing more than the palm of the kings, he can change it as he wants, and the local nobles and gentlemen will not care about this, as long as it does not offend their interests, it has nothing to do with them.

And if he doesn't care about the local reform and the local resistance is much stronger, I am afraid that this reform can only end in premature death.

Seeing this, Edward's reform plan, which had been held back all night, could only be swallowed in the end.

Therefore, in the eyes of Faris and the others, His Majesty the young King's face was a little red at this time, and there was a rhythm of anger.

In this way, Faris and the others couldn't help but rejoice, it seems that His Majesty has decided to clean up those who don't know the rules.

"Your Majesty, such behavior in various counties is not only provoking our center, but provoking you!"

Seeing such a situation, Faris didn't know the truth of striking while the iron was hot, and hurriedly added fuel and vinegar to it.

"In the long run, I am afraid that the majesty of the royal family in the place will be ruined!"

Faris looked at the king in front of him with a sincere look, and there was a tremor in his words, and the appearance of a loyal servant was revealed.

Hearing Farris's words, Edward would not have believed them all.

The majesty of the Tudor royal family was not so easily destroyed, but it was not Edward's intention to occupy the place in this way by the gentlemen.

There can only be one ruler in the whole of England, and that is the King of England.

The local gentry were usurping the king's power, and if the king betrayed their interests, they could form a coalition of rebels against the king at any time.

For example, the Derby family in Lancashshire, the Barnadison family in Suffolk County, and the county magistrate's committee are almost all members of their families, and it can be said that half of the power in the county is firmly in the hands of their family.

This means that they are more useful than kings in the county, just like the small families of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

And Faris did not act like this not only because of righteous indignation, but also because of the word power.

The reform of the central authority has made the Privy Council the most powerful department of the central government, and he has become an unprecedented person under one person and above ten thousand.

Even if he could only direct the affairs of the London area now, it would be much better than if he had only revolved around the king as before.

Once people experience the taste of power, they will become addicted to it and will not be able to stop.

So, this time, Faris smelled this smell and immediately began to attack the place without hesitation.

"Yes! Your Majesty, this is the greatest insult to you and the royal family! ”

Several others have reacted that this is a good opportunity for them to expand their rights.

Therefore, several of them also looked at the young king with a sad face, and their whole body seemed to erupt.

However, the more they were like this, the more uneasy Edward felt in his heart, and there was some truth in thinking twice about anything.

"Seeing you so sincere to the royal family, this is my biggest takeaway today!"

Edward's brow was quietly flattened, the corners of his mouth were slightly curled, and the smile on his face looked extremely happy.

"This is what we should do, Your Majesty!" The five made eye contact, and Faris held back the hunger in his heart and led the others to bend down and salute together.

"Very well, the royal family needs ministers like you!" Edward nodded happily, as if he was moved by them.

"Lucy—" Edward stared ahead, but called out to the maid outside the door.

Soon, after a gentle sound of footsteps, Lucy stood in front of Edward's eyes.

"Your Majesty!" Lucy said coquettishly.

"Go and get five Bibles!" The corners of Edward's mouth moved, and he commanded.

"Yes—" Lucy nodded, questioning, and slowly stepped back.

The five ministers were puzzled as to why they had to take the Bible at this time.

Soon, five Bibles with beautiful and ornate covers were presented to the five of them.

"This is my reward for your service to the royal family! Don't be surprised. ”
