Chapter 549: The Condition of Scotland

"Your Majesty, you must be the master for us!"

In Whitehall Palace, on the verdant meadows in the garden, several well-dressed nobles bent down and whispered accusations to His Majesty Edward, who was dressed in simple fine clothes.

His Majesty, on the other hand, was not arrogant or impatient, lying on the chaise longue made in the palace, pursing his lips, enjoying the warmth and sunshine, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face.

This made a few nobles who had worked hard and complained with tears a little stunned, but no matter how lazy His Majesty was, it was okay, who called him the king?

"Your Majesty, William. This guy Sersi actually sent people directly to my mansion to wantonly arrest my innocent servants, break into my house, destroy property and residences, and even prepare to sentence innocent servants, this is simply lawless! ”

Led by a nobleman in his thirties, with long red and black hair scattered, facing His Majesty Edward, with a mournful expression on his face, without the grace and posture of a nobleman.

Several other nobles, too, cried out with mournful faces, as if they had been greatly wronged.

"Your Majesty, I am a baron of all kinds, and William. . . Sersi had no aristocratic demeanor at all, and he didn't care about the decency of the aristocracy! It's so hateful! ”

"Baron Alster, how did I hear that it was your slave who had a dispute with a commoner over a small piece of land, and the commoner was killed by that slave, which is not a trivial matter!"

Edward was enjoying the rare warmth of the wind, and it was very comfortable to lie in his chair, and he gradually felt a little sleepy.

The blood and tears of several nobles came from his ears, and Edward listened attentively, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he retorted rather sarcastically:

"Human life is not a trivial matter, and for the laws of the kingdom, it is not just talk!"

Hearing that His Majesty was clear about this matter, several nobles trembled a little unconsciously, and then continued to complain unwillingly.

"But, Your Majesty, this is a violation of the dignity of our nobles, this is just a small commoner, how can it be compared with the nobles!"

Hearing this, Baron Alster said confidently that although he was bending over, there was no embarrassment on his face.

Hearing this, the other two nobles also echoed the words, how can the lives of the common people be as important as the dignity of the nobles.

"When did the Scottish aristocracy learn the oily tone of the English aristocracy, this is a good not to learn, a bad to learn!"

Hearing this, His Majesty Edward's heart was speechless, and the former upright and simple Scottish nobles disappeared.

"Having said that, the law is arranged in such a way that it has been reviewed by the Supreme United Court of Justice and is no exception in the United Kingdom, let alone in Scotland!"

His Majesty Edward, who is from the 21st century, still attaches great importance to human life, and cannot achieve the attitude of these nobles in front of him who treat human life as a mustard.

"So, William. Baron Sersi has nothing to accuse of the case you are talking about! ”

William. Since stepping down as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Selsey has gone to Scotland to take up the throne and begin a five-year reform of Scotland.

For this reason, Edward also appointed several Scottish nobles to important positions, just to divert the tiger from the mountain.

Who knows, the big tiger is gone, but there are a lot of small flies, and they come to London every day to complain, annoying individuals.

"In the future, if it's such a trivial matter, don't come to me!"

Edward sat up directly, stared at the accusing trio, and said impatiently:

"If you are really wronged, you can go directly to the Supreme United Court to complain, or go to the cabinet!"

Seeing His Majesty's impatient expression, the three of them immediately lowered their heads and left automatically.

After he left, Edward cleaned up his mood and let out a cloudy breath.

"This is the fifth batch of the month, and it seems that William. This guy Sersi is making a lot of noise in Scotland! ”

His Majesty the King had a smile on his lips and thought optimistically.

Compared with England, which was in full swing with reforms, Wales with its small and obedient nature, and Ireland from scratch, Scotland's local aristocratic conservative forces were deeply entrenched, and there were too many local dissociative forces, and they were too far from the center to be riddled with stubborn diseases, and it was indeed in need of a major reform.

And William. Selcy, an experienced politician and reformer, was the blade he needed to break through the rocks of Scotland in one fell swoop.

Edinburgh, Consulate.

To be precise, it should be called the King's Plenipotentiary Minister and the Governor of Scotland, referred to as the Ruling Chancellor.

Adjacent to it is the residence of the Duke of Edinburgh, the military governor of Scotland.

Unlike the deserted in front of the Duke's door, in front of the ruling government at this time, there were many aristocrats talking about it, and the big carts and small cars were parked in front of the door, just to wait to see the consul.

"You say, what is the situation of the ruling lord, in less than a month, the three nobles were arrested and fined, it is really scary!"

"Who knows? This lord used to be the prime minister of the cabinet, but now he has come to Scotland, there must be a conspiracy, let's be careful! ”

"Alas! Since the Earl of Argyle went to London, we haven't had a good time since! ”

The Scottish aristocracy displayed their fancy clothes and wore flowers and feathers, but the content of the discussion was very negative.

Obviously, the political reformer William . The arrival of Sersi made this group of lawless Scottish nobles feel painful.

Resistance, this is impossible, the Duke of Edinburgh's army of several thousand troops is stationed there, sharpening their swords, waiting for the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Moreover, how can people give up this comfortable day now?

Inside the mansion, William. His Excellency Sersi was in his forties, a majestic middle-aged man, with gray hair from years of hard work, and a smile on his imposing face, so he looked somewhat amiable.

Sitting next to him was a nobleman in his thirties, who was dressed well and even looked bells and whistles.

He is the Earl of Lennox, the head of the Lennox family, one of the four great families of Scotland.

Last time, after Count Argyle stepped down as ruler, he should have been the one who made up for the reign, but he was too frivolous and greedy for fishing, hunting, and pleasure, and it was difficult to convince the public.

So, William. Selsi relied on his qualifications as a former prime minister to suppress him in one fell swoop and become the governing party of Scotland.

"Lord Earl, the tea you brought is very good!" The ruling lord smiled slightly.

"If you're satisfied!" The Earl chuckled softly.
